Current Opportunities
Droitwich Working Men's Club (Droitwich, Worcestershire)
Black Country Ales has purchased the former Droitwich Working Men’s Club on Friar Street in Droitwich Spa.
Droitwich has a long association with salt production, with local workers known as “salters”, and a strong tradition of public houses and social clubs serving the town’s community.
The building will be brought into use as a traditional real ale pub, with care taken to respect its character while returning it to everyday use.
A programme of refurbishment is now underway, with the pub set to reopen this year
The Plough at Overross (Ross on Wye)
Black Country Ales has purchased The Plough on Overross Road in Ross-on-Wye.
Situated around a ten minute walk from the historic town centre, The Plough is a Grade II listed public house with origins dating back to the seventeenth century, retaining many of its original features and long-established place in the town's history.
Ross-on-Wye is a historic market town overlooking the River Wye, renowned for its independent character, traditional public houses and rich heritage, attracting both local residents and visitors throughout the year.
The building will be brought back into use as a traditional real ale pub, with care taken to respect its character while returning it to everyday use.
A programme of refurbishment is now underway, with the pub set to reopen later this year.
Three Fishes (Bayston Hill, Shropshire)
Black Country Ales is seeking a licensee for The Three Fishes in Bayston Hill.
Located around three miles south of the historic town of Shrewsbury, Bayston Hill is a large village on the edge of the Shropshire Hills, offering the character of a village while remaining within easy reach of one of England's best-preserved market towns.
The Three Fishes has long served the local community as a traditional village pub. Following significant damage caused when a lorry struck the building in November 2024, a major programme of rebuilding and refurbishment is now underway, with the pub set to reopen later this year as a fully restored traditional real ale pub.
The Bird in Hand (Stafford)
Black Country Ales is seeking a licensee for The Bird in Hand in Stafford.
Situated on Victoria Square, beside St Mary's Church, the Bird in Hand occupies a prominent position in the heart of Stafford, a historic county town with a long-established market tradition and a thriving town centre.
The Bird in Hand is a traditional real ale pub with a spacious beer garden and a loyal customer base. This is an opportunity to take on a well-established Black Country Ales pub with plenty of character in a prominent town centre location.
