THE GOOD PUB GUIDE 2008
"Cheerfully run dining pub with pleasant places to sit both inside and outside run
by friendly and enthusiastic staff, this pub focuses mostly on food. In fine weather,
the garden and terrace are enjoyable places to sit, with a pleasant backdrop of rolling
country. The interconnecting rooms give fine views too and in winter, you'll find
an open fire: piped music. There are proper tablecloths, linen napkins and fresh
flowers on the tables in the restaurant, which has a more expensive menu. They've
a good range of wines to choose from, with about ten by the glass, lots of malt whiskies,
quite a few brandies and liqueurs, and St. Georges Best and Shepherd Neame Spitfire
are on handpump. Good disabled access and facilities."

"… It's the completely no smoking and cheerfully welcoming Bear & Ragged Staff at
Bransford that wins this year's [2007] high accolade of Worcestershire Dining Pub
of the Year, for its beautifully prepared and presented imaginative food."
