Could you run this pub in Dudley?

The Bush Inn is a popular wet-led pub on the outskirts of Gornalwood in Dudley. It has a traditional feel with exposed oak beams and walls decked with blue ware plates.

Guests choose it as the go-to place to enjoy sports, pub games, entertainment, and community events. As you walk in, there’s an open plan feel, with a cosy main bar area with nooks and crannies going off it, enabling customers to enjoy both a relaxed and intimate drinking experience. The pub also boasts a beautiful beer garden with plenty of picnic-style seating. It’s a sheltered area, ensuring guests can enjoy it whatever the weather.
