The Brewery

The Teme Valley Brewery opened in 1997 at The Talbot. Until September 2000 the brewery was the only privately owned UK brewery growing and using its own hops for brewing.
In September 2000, after hop picking, the Lulsley Court Estate was sold. The Clift family had been growing hops at Lulsley Court since the late 19th Century and had been much involved in the history of hop growing in the area, and were among the first to change to mechanical hop picking in 1947.

The Teme Valley Brewery will continue to feature Worcestershire Hops in all its beers with 90% still grown at Lulsley Court.

Beers are available to take away in:

Bottles

4 pint flagons
2 gallon bag in box
4.5 gallon bag in box

All containers are re-usable and larger quantities are available for commercial outlets.

Distinctive and delicious food made from locally produced ingredients is a central tenet of the Talbot Inn. With the exception of fresh fish, which is delivered from Cornwall and Wales, anything that can't be home-grown is bought in from a known local source - ideally within 5 miles. Traditional, and sometimes ancient, recipes are reworked with a modern and original flair and a real emphasis on wholesome flavour.

See the Restaurant page for more on our ethos.
