Crafted Beers, Strong Roots

About Our Pub in Lichfield

Work in Progress Our Story

Welcome to WIP — Work in Progress. Nestled in the heart of Lichfield at 45 Tamworth Street, WIP is more than just a pub; it’s a unique craft beer and pizza hub that offers an inviting escape from the ordinary. Established in 2019, we took a former games shop and transformed it into a lively spot known for delicious food, outstanding drinks, and unforgettable experiences.

At WIP, we believe in the art of progress. Our name embodies our commitment to continually evolving and improving to offer you the best experience possible. We blend contemporary charm with a touch of rustic character.

Step Inside Our Atmosphere

Two Floors of Character
From the outside, WIP may seem quaint and unassuming, but once you enter, you’ll discover hidden depths and a world of character. Our two-level interior features aged irregular wooden beams, giving a nod to timeless design elements. The upper floor boasts old bus and cinema seats, providing a nostalgic and cozy space to relax.

Cozy Comforts
Downstairs, you’ll find warmth and comfort with our iron range fireplace, perfect for those chilly days. We also have a small enclosed terrace at the rear, offering a tranquil outdoor space to unwind.
