This is probably going to be a social meeting, that’s not to say we won’t talk about technical stuff if someone brings something up.
7:30pm, Redditch. Pub to be decided.
Anyway, after thinking (and somewhat regretting getting involved in making the decision for the pub) I *think* (and hope) the best pub out of all of them is Meadow Farm.
Meadow Farm / Milestone Restaurant Dagnell End Lane, Redditch. Worcestershire. B98 9BJ.

Been there a few times, serves nice food - and I’m sure they do offers on the food in the week actually, but I can’t seem to find a website or anything for them. U=I’m assured its usually reasonably quiet atmosphere in the week, but can be very busy at the weekend due to popularity of food. I believe there is music played, but it is quite quiet in the background as it’s a restaurant/pub type thing.
Driving directions:
From M42
Leave the M42 at junction 2 (signposted Birmingham South & Hopwood Park Services), then at roundabout take the exit onto the A441 (signposted Redditch).
Head down the A441, until you see a Citreon Garage/Total Petrol Station on the right (should only be 5 mins down the A441). Immediately after at the traffic lights, turn *left* into Dagnell End Lane, then right into Meadow Farm straight after. Simple!
From other places
Probably best to use routes/directions services online.
Coming from the opposite side of Redditch, you want to follow all highways (bless the plethora of Redditch highways...!) and signs to Redditch Town Centre. Head onto the Redditch ring road (not really sign posted as a ring road, however - just ‘town centre’ still), past all the multi-storey car parks. Keep following it all the way round, and towards the end of the ring road you’ll see signs for Birmingham/A441. Take the little filter slip-road off to the left before the ring road traffic lights, and you’ll see a Ford dealership/Royal Mail Sorting Office/Sainsbury’s on the left. At the roundabout take the 3rd exit (signposted Birmingham/A441). You’ll pass The Abbey Stadium Leisure Centre on the right, and big car boot fields on the left. At the traffic lights, turn right into Dagnell End Lane then right into Meadow Farm.
Not fantastic for public transport either - however its only 5-8 mins away from the town centre/train station by car. Not really walking distance from the train station - about 25-30 mins walking! Public transport is diabolical in Redditch at the best of times anyway, so it’s going to be difficult to find anywhere better!
