Chadwick Arms Rugeley Motorhome Stopover Information
About the Pub 🍺
The Chadwick Arms is a large, imposing village pub probably dating back to the 17th century, located in Hill Ridware near Rugeley (postcode WS15 3QX). The building features three linked rooms around a central serving area with beamed ceilings and exposed timber framing: a large split-level public bar, a stone-floored lounge, and a small snug. It offers a classic British village pub atmosphere in the Staffordshire countryside.
The pub is named after the former Lords of the Manor and has historic interest, with the date 1686 inscribed in stone on its front wall. There is also a stone relief of a talbot (hunting dog) embedded on the building, a nod to its possible previous name "Talbot" from early directories.
