The Retired Soldier

The Retired Soldier, a cherished Malvern pub dating back over 170 years, is one of the town’s oldest and most beloved establishments. Recently taken over by Jim Smith, a multitalented musician known for his dynamic performances with countless bands and currently playing bass with the Roving Crows, the pub retains its traditional, cosy charm. With its warm atmosphere, roaring fire, and welcoming vibe, Jim and his team have revitalized this historic gem, fostering a strong sense of community while preserving its Victorian heritage. Whether you’re enjoying a well-kept ale, savoring classic pub fare, or soaking in the live music, The Retired Soldier offers an authentic and inviting experience in the heart of Malvern.
