Congratulations to Tracey and James, owners of the much-loved city centre pub The Horse and Jockey – they have succeeded in their aim of buying the freehold after many years of trying to do so.
When they took over the running of the pub in 2009, they resurrected it from the insalubrious ‘Los Angeles Rock Cafe’ and introduced the former name to bring Lichfield a splendid new real ale pub, free of a brewery or pubco tie.
Having worked tremendously hard since 2009 to re-build its reputation and customers, great success is at now coming to fruition.
Popular real ale offerings are this pub’s staple and good home-cooked food is available during Thursday-Saturday. There is also more work planned for the already-extended garden area, with plans to provide a glazed covering to parts of it.
With the pub appearing in the Good Beer Guide 2023, Tracey and James, along with their friendly loyal workforce, know there’s plenty more of those years to come. This is just the start.
Well done team, keep up the great work!
The Horse & Jockey is located on 10 Sandford Street WS13 6QA, and you can follow them on Instagram @thehorseandjockeylichfield
