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.

Wonderful, enjoyable evening, food and service excellent - will definitely go again. We dined early-ish which meant it wasn’t very busy. However, next time I would take a wrap/jacket as ac was fierce, it was 28 degrees outside, also meant food cooled quickly. Our dining experience was marred only by a very loud conversation and use of bad language by diners at another table which was a shame - appreciate not Gaucho’s fault.
