Every bit the welcoming country pub you may well be hoping to stumble upon around Bournheath, The Nailers Arms attracts a loyal clientele from Bromsgrove and beyond, drawn by the delicious food (available seven days a week) as well as a wide selection of quality beers, wines and spirits and that welcoming atmosphere only possible in a truly local institution. Phil and Shula Witherford are the passionate couple behind this popular bar and contemporary restaurant on Doctors Hill, a place which is hard to leave without a personal promise to the publican that you’ll be back to get your fill again before too long.

    Service and the food were lovely. It was very quiet on our visit and we were sat in a corner booth so there wasn't much ambience at the time.

    Great carvery and great value, staff were very pleasant and attentive. It was quiet when we visited and was able to get food very quickly. It was piping hot and very tasty, decent quality and plenty of meat, help yourself to vegetables. What more could you ask for.

    Food hot, plates hot. Food was excellent so much to choose from. Someone who is allergic to dogs it was great to see dogs only were not allowed only for blind people so very different from other pubs were they sit on seating.
