Penultimate Worcestershire GBG Tick
The one pub ticking goal I have is to ensure that Worcestershire, my home county, remains "greened".
Three new entries in the 2024 edition and with mere days before 2025 lands, I still have 2 to get.
I best find out exactly where Kemerton is.
Well, it's in the Cotswolds. A good start. Its also in the foothills of one of my favourite places, Bredon Hill. But that is for another day, we are walking on the flat today.
An easy circuit of Westmancote and Overbury, where apart from the pub, churches are the only source of interest.

Enough religion, refreshment. Most of Kemerton prefer the coffee shop. Whereas the pub is empty, the outside tables at the coffee shop are packed. Its not outdoor smoking ban that will kill pubs, but hot drinks.

Which makes the Crown's choice of having 4 cask on even more perplexing. A Wye Valley tied house but is there any need for Butty Bach and Bitter? Is there any need for HPA and Gold Rush?
Two is plenty.

| The Line Up |
The bad news - the Gold Rush was tired, cloudy and fairly lifeless. The good news, the sandwiches were good value. For an indication of pricing, chips are only £1.50 extra. And the service was friendly.
Hopefully I get to Bromsgrove before Amazon deliver next year's edition.
I went for the Coronation Street cover.
