Since coming under the ownership of Mike Claydon and Wendy Hill in February 2007, the Colliers Arms has been selected for inclusion in many of the countries most widely recognized guide books. Most of these guides have very high standards for inclusion and use recommendations from their readers and even visits by "mystery customers" to decide which establishments are good enough to be included.
The Colliers Arms is proud to be listed in the following guide books;
• Michelin Eating out in Pubs Guide 2009 & 2010
(see the full review below)
• Michelin Restaurant Guide 2009

In addition to this, the Colliers Arms was entered into and reached the final of the Worcestershire Life Food Awards 2008 in the 'Newcomer of the Year' category. Also Mike himself reached the national semi-final of the British Institute of Innkeeping Licensee of the Year Award 2008. We are also in the running for the UKTV Food 'Local Heroes 2008'.
Michelin "Eating Out in Pubs" Guide 2008
The Colliers Arms are proud and delighted to announce that we have been selected for the first time for inclusion in the Michelin Eating out in Pubs guide. This guide's reputation is among the best and standards for inclusion are high.
"The 2008 edition of the Michelin Eating out in Pubs guide contains details of over 550 pubs. As ever, the crucial factor for selection in the guide is the quality of the food served, and though the style of cooking and the menus may vary from one pub to the next, our independent inspectors ensure that each and every pub listed reaches the requisite gastronomic standards."
From the Introduction of the Michelin Eating out in Pubs guide 2008.
Here is what the guide says about The Colliers Arms;
"A young new owner may have taken over at the helm of The Colliers Arms but the pub is still very popular with the older generation, who obviously appreciate good quality, home cooked food. Several rooms offer differing atmospheres in which to dine; there's a snug little bar with a log fire, furnished with polished wooden tables and decorated with some decidedly fishy wall paper, plus - the best place to sit - an airy dining room at the rear of the pub, with pleasant views of views of the garden. There's no danger of finding fashionable fusion dishes here: instead you'll find all the old fashioned favorites on the menu; traditional hearty British dishes like steak and chips, sausage and mash and steak and kidney pudding, as well as sandwiches and lighter snacks at lunch. The choice of food on the menu is dictated by the seasons and everything is fresh and homemade."
