About us

Situated in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside, The Dodford Inn is known locally as 'the pub in the field' and has a serious focus on sustainability.

After being closed for a period, its current operators, the Myatt family, bought the freehold in 2015, following which eco-friendly changes began.

The pub now has an extensive food menu, comprised of locally sourced, fresh ingredients, award-winning beers, alongside wines, spirits and cocktails to complement the food.

As part of the refurbishments, a three-phase electricity supply was connected to the pub, meaning the on-site equipment is now efficiently powered – and residences in the lane have benefitted from the connection, too.

The restaurant building was then built using recycled and sustainable materials to ensure the environment was at the fore during the extension.

An eco-friendly water boiler was installed to provide all the heating and hot water, an efficient sewage treatment plant was also put in to replace the existing broken cesspit.

As a result, pollution from the pub to the nearby brook has now been eradicated, while properties that neighbour the venue have been added to the system.

Hedges in the garden were also replanted as well as hundreds of trees, including an orchard to entice more wildlife into the grounds, helping to boost ecosystems.

The garden area grows fruit and vegetables for the pub, used in sauces and as part of main meals. Fish is only used if sustainably caught.

Planning permission to convert roof space into two rooms for staff, to reduce travel and therefore emissions from cars, has been granted and plans to install solar panels to power the sewage treatment plant and potentially the cellar have been revealed.
