The King Charles House

About

Nestled in the heart of Worcester, The King Charles House is a living testament to England’s tumultuous past and a modern hub for hearty British fare. Dating back to 1577, the three‑storey, Grade II* listed building served a pivotal role during the Civil War as the escape point for Charles II. Visitors can wander through its original stone walls and discreet dungeons, now called the Oubliette, and discover the tangible legacy of the king’s flight. Beyond its storied heritage, the pub offers an acclaimed selection of local ales, ciders and crafted beers – from Saxon Gold to Monarch’s Way – complemented by a menu of classic pub dishes and contemporary specials. With a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere, live music, and free Wi‑Fi, the King's House seamlessly blends history and hospitality.
