TAKE a look inside this 'proper' estate pub which can transport you back to the 1950s with its traditional decor and charm.
The Punch Bowl Inn on Lichfield Avenue has been a staple in Ronkswood since 1958.
Entering the pub makes you feel like you've taken a step back in time as you are met with a huge dart board and wooden booths topped off with dark red cushions.
Regular punters often enjoy a pint for under £5, which makes the venue one of the cheapest places to get a pint in Worcester.
The Punch Bowl Inn has a bit of a reputation for being a pub where you don't want to make eye contact with the wrong person.
But landlord Jon Carson, 64 described the pub as a community pub.
Mr Carson, who has worked at the pub for almost 17 years, said: "Everyone knows everyone around here, people can come here and have a drink and a chat.
"We don't judge anyone here, I know a few people who come to the pub who have been in prison."
The popular pub attracts people from the estate and punters often praise the pub for its traditional feel.
Mr Carson said: "It hasn't changed since the 1950s.
"It's a traditional pub."
However, in previous years the building used to have a smoking room which is now used by senior citizens who want a quiet space to catch up with friends.
The landlord said: "A lot of strangers have walked through the doors and said 'Ah, this is a proper pub.'"
Over the years the pub has lost several regular customers but Mr Carson said the pub sees an array of visitors.
"We have construction workers who come in, if you ever need anyone who knows something, there is always someone."
Punters will be able to get a pint under £5 at this bar and Mr Carson said staying affordable to their customers is important.
"We are one of the cheaper pubs in Worcester, quite a few people are on benefits on this estate.
"Some will come in and have a few drinks but not that many.
"It's a social pub, people come here to meet their friends.
"We've had a few fights over the years, but people always sort it out among themselves."
Nigel Farage also had a pint at the pub while he was visiting the city for his TV show. The former UKIP leader and TV personality was in Worcester last year for his GB News show, Farage at Large.
The controversial figure spent the day at the pub before his show was live broadcasted on GB News in the evening.
