Overview
The Jockey Inn is a village pub and restaurant located on Pershore Road in Baughton, Earls Croome, Worcestershire, England, close to Upton-upon-Severn on the South Worcestershire and Gloucestershire border. It presents itself as a characterful countryside local — 'where the ordinary is extraordinary' — offering a warm welcome for long lunches, relaxed afternoon drinks and evening meals, and it is dog-friendly in the bar area. The kitchen serves traditional Sunday roasts, English pub classics and tempting desserts, using seasonal and locally sourced produce, while the bar offers real ales, handcrafted cocktails and an extensive selection of fine wines from its own cellar. The pub also sells gift vouchers aimed at food- and wine-loving friends and family. Operationally, The Jockey Inn opens Wednesday to Saturday from midday to 11pm and Sunday from midday to 6pm. Food is served Wednesday and Thursday from midday to 8pm, Friday and Saturday from midday to 8.30pm, and Sunday lunch from midday to 4pm. The largest table in the restaurant seats 14 guests, and the private dining room, The Snug, holds up to 24 guests; larger bookings require a credit or debit card to secure the reservation. Enquiries about forthcoming events or group bookings can be made by email at info@thejockeyinn.co.uk or by telephone on 01684 592153. As a small independent hospitality business, The Jockey Inn operates as a single-site pub rather than a multi-outlet chain. Its identity is closely tied to its rural location and to the quality of its food and drink offer, and it functions as a local gathering place for residents and visitors exploring the Worcestershire and Gloucestershire countryside.
History
The Jockey Inn is a village pub in Baughton, within the civil parish of Earls Croome (also recorded as Hill Croome) in the Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire, England. It sits on Pershore Road, close to Upton-upon-Severn, on the border between South Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. Its name and identity are those of a traditional English country inn serving the surrounding rural community and visitors to the area. The pub presents itself as a local with character and charm, welcoming guests for long lunches, afternoon drinks and evening celebrations. Its food offer is built around traditional Sunday roasts, English pub classics and desserts prepared with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, while the bar serves real ales, handcrafted cocktails and an extensive selection of fine wines from its own cellar. The business also offers gift vouchers for food- and wine-loving customers. The Jockey Inn is dog-friendly, with well-behaved dogs welcome in the bar area. It operates on a limited weekly schedule: Wednesday to Saturday from midday to 11pm and Sunday from midday to 6pm, with food served Wednesday and Thursday until 8pm, Friday and Saturday until 8.30pm, and Sunday lunch until 4pm. The restaurant's largest table seats 14, and the private dining room known as The Snug accommodates up to 24 guests; larger bookings require a credit or debit card to secure the reservation. Enquiries about events and group bookings are handled by email and telephone. As a single-site independent hospitality business, The Jockey Inn does not operate as a chain. Detailed corporate history — such as founding date, ownership changes or building history — is not established by the available evidence, and the pub's public presence centres on its food, drink and events offer rather than on corporate milestones.
