There are a few lovely places to eat out locally, if you are a walker the 3 are within 3.5 miles. If not there are plenty a short drive away.
The Chequers has a lovely garden overlooking the countryside.
It is more of a gastro pub, but also perfect for just a quiet drink in the bar of gardens. It is approximately 3 miles away.

'Worcestershire’s award winning Orchards & Farm Shop. Housing a Farm Kitchen & Country Store.
Established in 1910, Broomfield’s started from humble beginnings as a small 4-acre orchard in Bromsgrove, growing only a few varieties of heritage apples.
Having endured two World Wars, Broomfield’s moved to its site in Holt Heath, Worcestershire. It was here in 1973, where Maurice Broomfield set up Broomfield’s Farm Shop - selling locally grown produce of the highest quality directly to the public.
We are still very mindful that growing quality homegrown fruit sets the foundations for Broomfields to flourish. Broomfields of Holt continues as a family-run business, embodying the spirit of British fruit growers. Purveyors of the utmost quality.'

Country walks and nature
The nature trail takes in a range of habitats around the farm including a replanted traditional orchard, a wetland, several ponds, arable fields and bird food crops and covers 66 acres. In spring, visitors should listen for displaying skylarks in the fields and for reed warbler around the ponds in summer. Whitethroat and reed buntings are also worth keeping a lookout for during the summer months and large flocks of finches – green, gold and chaffinch – are plentiful throughout winter.
The ponds are great for dragonflies and up to 15 different species are seen in most years including broad-bodied chaser, emperor, black-tailed skimmer and azure damselfly.
