The Olde Peculiar - A traditional pub with homemade food, real ales, and comfortable accommodations near Cannock Chase

The Olde Peculiar offers three rooms-a family room and two twin rooms-each equipped with tea and coffee facilities and free Wi-Fi. The family room includes four beds, while the twin rooms feature two beds each. Guests can enjoy homemade dishes at the on-site pub, such as steak and kidney pie, chicken tikka masala, and Whitby scampi, with locally sourced ingredients. The pub serves real ales, including Theakston's Old Peculier and guest brews, alongside lagers and ciders. Located 8.0 km from Cannock Chase, The Olde Peculiar provides easy access to hiking and cycling trails. Nearby attractions include Lichfield Cathedral (7 km) and Blithbury Reindeer Lodge (4 km).

Pros

The pub serves homemade food with locally sourced ingredients, including traditional pies and Whitby scampi.

Guests can sample rotating guest ales alongside Theakston's Old Peculier and other real ales.

The location is convenient for exploring Cannock Chase, with hiking and cycling trails nearby.

Cons

The rooms are offered on a room-only basis, with no breakfast included.

Limited dining options nearby; the pub is the primary food source within walking distance.

“This Rugeley hotel provides more than just the basics for a restful stay; the spacious rooms, some almost suites, offer real comfort. The on-site pub, while not always open, has its own charm and adds a social element. If I were staying here, I'd appreciate the plentiful parking and the quiet nights.”
