Eagle & Sun in Wychavon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Meat was good veg was OK stuffing no taste week gravy but eatable

Food was covered, so asked to see it before I committed to the carvery…Vegetables were overcooked and resembled mush. A tiny scrap of beef, which was dry and tough remained along with some pork, which looked barely cooked and contained mostly fat. Staff were miserable, long hair, not tied back, hanging over the food. Everything was poor, the pub is tired and felt very unclean.

Lovely canal side pub, had a carvery which was excellent. The staff are brilliant and well trained, as for the perspect screen(as someone mentioned) i didn't find it a major issue. Definitely worth a visit.

We had a carvery here on Tuesday night this week. It was a lovely meal. Apart from you couldn't choose your own meal like you usually can on a carvery

Beautiful carvery, a variety of vegetables..well recommended..

This is the worst carvery I have ever visited. The roast potatoes were brown inside and had a warmed up (several times) taste. The cauliflower cheese was brown. Again this was Not fresh. Sprouts totally raw. Nothing was very warm. Meat was chewy, saying that I could barely cut it to put in my mouth to chew. Carvery meat is usually very tender. I don't know how a pub can turn out such poor food. Fit for one place only, and that's the bin. A total waste of money.

So disappointed ..all food behind a screen apparently due to covid ..looked tacky and have to say didn't find staff very friendly either ...don't think we shall be going back

What a good pub/restaurant. We had the light bite pork baguette which came via the carvery and was as good as could be, very reasonable price too. Good beer, wine and hot water in loos. Friendly too. Perhaps the well presented carvery next time.

We didn't like that the pub doesn't like dogs, only outside. We have been traveling by boat on the canals for two weeks, but we have not encountered this. The beer was fine.

Lovely place to stop in if you're walking down the canal

I was told on the phone it was dog friendly but only being able to sit outside isn't at all what dog friendly implies. I'm not sure why they don't designate an area in the bar for dogs as every other pub in the local area does... everyone owns a dog and it would attract so many more families. I'd love to come and enjoy the pub in future if these rules change!!

I visited yesterday for lunch at 2 it was busy we found the queuing system wasn't organised didn't have a enough staff they did there best they said they weren't expecting to be so busy people were just coming in that hadn't booked we were waiting a while but didn't mind because we were talking when mine arrived I was expecting short crust pastry which my friend when she went to.order but it arrived it was flaky the.mash potato was ok and veg but because they were rushed off there feet didn't have the heart to complain probably too late now but it be possible to have a refund even though it's the next day

The Carvery was very tasty!! Couldn’t fault the food , best carvery I have been too in a long while ! . The whole place was lovely with a great atmosphere!!! Such a lovely old restaurant too Meat was well cooked!! Plenty of it too. Staff were friendly. Definitely be coming here again! 5 stars *****

A great improvement from last time great beer and good food 👍 would visit again 😀 😋

Very expensive for soft drinks.

Nice food, plentiful and tasty. Service with a smile, what's not to like. 🙂

Lovely friendly place to eat. Food was very nice, we had carvery which was plenty. At a reasonable price. Staff were very busy with a large party. Made time to make sure we were happy with everything 😊.

Lovely owner and people serving And the foods not bad either 😋 😆 🤣

We found the eagle and sun after a random canal walk several years ago and frequent the place regularly (mostly on Sundays for the absolutely amazing carvery.) We came today as a family of four and once again had a lovely lunch. As usual the most generous portion and outstanding carvery. The ability to try a little of every meat with a plethora of quality vegetables and potatoes with a superb gravy is what Sundays are all about. I’ve always left toby carvery’s underwhelmed due to little meat with an abundance of cheap veg like peas, sweet corn and watery gravy. The eagle and sun offers 4 great meats, a variety of creamy, roast and boiled potatoes paired with variety of premium well cooked vegetables. The staff are friendly and attentive. The perspex screen works well and ensures a much higher level of hygiene without every person coughing and breathing on food. Not to mention the cross contamination and mess that most carveys suffer from letting people help themselves. Please don’t ever change as you have the carvery nailed.

Should have avoided the carvery. Meat eaters were fine but for a veggie who chose the vegetables only option, it was very disappointing for just a couple of pounds less. Broccoli was mushy and cauliflower cheese more like mushy cauliflower in white sauce. All cooked for customers with no teeth. If the meat eaters insist on going again, will choose off the menu. Nice canalside location.

Disappointing. This pub could be lovely, great location. Inside is looking tired. Cob webs. Needs some tlc. Flies above carvery serving area which is off putting. And the food is not as good. Stuffing hard, no mash potato. And needs to be hotter.

Just had a coffee but seemed to be ok.

Never disappoints. Great carvery, friendly staff.

Excellent food ..nicely cooked lovely meal ..in this instance I'm writing about the carvery I had today beautiful ..well done all , me and my partner enjoyed it so much .

Walked to here from the campsite we were staying on locally, on our last night. Lovely canal side location. Friendly staff and decent choice of real ale and cider and not overpriced. Sat outside with our pints enjoying the view of the canal and barges in the sunshine. What's not to like?

Went for Sunday carvery, excellent choice, lovely tender meat, and more vegetables than you could ever eat.

The carvery was very enjoyable and I would return based on the food. I appreciate the perspex screen being in place for hygiene measures during covid however I would suggest a change to the screen as this made communication very difficult. However I was disappointed with the service. We felt neglected at times through our visit, that no one was interested in serving us. For example our plates were collected after dinner and we were not asked if we wanted dessert. We asked for a dessert menu which we received, and that they would return in a couple of minutes to take our order. No one returned. Additionally, when we arrived we were allocated our table. One hour later, another group arrived and they were told they were at the table we were sitting at and that we were just leaving when in fact we were waiting for our dessert order to be taken, based on this we decided to pay and leave feeling like we would have been rushed had we have stayed longer. I have previous eaten here and would rate everything highly but today I left feeling rather disappointed.

The service here today was abysmal We ordered chicken pie and waited and waited for a long time before being told there was none available. Then I ordered a glass of Shiraz only to be offered a selection of white wines.My husband had a carvery which was served on a cold plate and therefore his meal went cold very quickly and he couldn't finish it. All in all an experience not to be repeated.

Food is absolutely excellent, it is the reason we return. The bar can be a little organised chaos and the layout can be a bit odd at busy times but all this doesn't mean much when the portions of food and the quality and the price are all excellent. Will be back for a roast again, soon, I'm sure.

Great location by the canal. Arrived today Tuesday 11/06/24 lunchtime, pub was busy but doors locked. People were parking and having to leave like me because they couldn't get in, very odd

After a long day of boating we moored our boat next to the pub. We sat outside as we had our dog with us which offered nice views of the canal. The carvery was great, with lots of meat and a range of vegetables. The staff were very pleasent and attentive.

What a gem! Came here as its pretty central between myself in Birmingham and my friend in Cheltenham. Decided to come for a pub lunch and a catch up. Lovely atmosphere, friendly chatty staff, a beautiful view with the barge outside. It was very clean, including the facilities. We had a carvery which is the nicest I've had in a long long time! I will definitely be back. Already told my other half we're travelling 45 minutes for your carvery as soon as we can!

Nice pub by the canal, dogs allowed outside, Nice atmosphere. Pint and chips were tip top! Will return 😀

Lovely place to stop for a pub lunch !

Really bad sewerage smell outside in car park. Girl at the bar didnt seem interested in serving us. Carvery was not self service and behind clear plastic board found it hard to comunicate to the guy serving us. Wife wanted veggie gravey which she was told he would bring straight out. Halfway through our meals it still hadn't arrived so had to get up during meal and ask again. Young girl was very nice and helpful though. Overall poor. Response from my feedback is not acceptable. This has obviously been going on for a while going from what others since this review. Copied and pasted reply. No customer care at all. Poor excuse for plastic screen being there. Obviously people do not like it so maybe time to rethink how you do things. The smell I could smell (this is from someone who knows the establishment VERY well) is from the kitchens waste.

I have reviewed but just read a response from manger about the awful Perspex screen infront of food stations. She said most diners like it for hygiene. Absolute rubbish.. no other carvery does this.. its feels more like a prison canteen. Childish awful experience. Obviously run by people with no clue of customer service or any restaurant experience. I’m an adult I can pick my own veg and pour my own gravy and not have food slopped and piled up on top of each other then drowned in gravy.. get a grip

We've had some disappointing carveries recently, but this place does a fantastic job of delivering everything you want from a carvery in a lovely atmosphere. The meat was freshly cooked and the vegetables were succulent and tasty. A truly fantastic job (the staff were v friendly too).

Great place to visit, interesting to see the ongoing roof repairs.

Went for carvery, but not very good, staff more interested in chatting with each other, asked the meat free option, which came with vegan gravy , but had to wait for this to be made, meanwhile my guests were able to carry on with theirs, 15 mins later still no gravy, the lad serving had walked away from the carvery, had to ask again, pub was not busy, def would give it a miss if in that area again, not impressed that all carvery was being glass as said in another review

Food dried up wrong desert sent out over charged on drink. Will not be going back.

Awful, truly awful! The meat was as dry as the Sahara and the veg had been cooked so much it turned to mush. Sadly will not be returning which is a shame as the place has tons of potential.

Lovely atmosphere, clean toilets, carpark. Nice views.

Canal side pub with beer garden.

Good canal side location, decent service, tasty carvery, but painful 40 minute wait standing in line to have carvery and vegetables served by staff individually. Why? No other carvery needs to do this and I'd rather go to another carvery where I can better spend that 40 minutes sat comfortably with my family. Change to a self service carvery system and it'd be a winner.

Lovely canalside pub. Carvery portions are tremendous. Only 2 real ales on when I visited but well kept.

Food excellent but inconsiderate parking by customers who blocked drop kerbs needed by wheelchair users

Great under new management made you very welcome the first time we been back for Two years gone from run down to BRILLIANT 10/10

Best carvery I've been to in many years

Lovely food, big portions Always enjoy coming here, carvery is lovely with mostly fresh veg with lots of choice, can't fault it. Friendly staff.

Very lovely food. There was a bit of initial confusion with our booking (not enough seats had been put out) and payment took a bit long. They are the only negatives though. Food and staff was great, lovely restaurant.

What on earth has happened at the eagle and sun!!! Hadn’t been for a couple of months so I thought I would take the family for a carvery….. simply awful!!!! It used to be lovely but it’s all changed now…. Food was burnt or simply not cooked properly. Staff have all changed and have no idea what they are doing and rather rude….. as for the cleanliness of the place….. gross to say the least….. what a shame as it used to be lovely…. Will not not going again and I advise others not to unless you like eating awful food in dirty places!!!

Great chips ….. total fail with vegan option ,advertise moving mountains burger…given a dry bun with a mushy veggie burger,so asked at bar about it and told yes it’s right….didn't go and check with kitchen! Not one to complain (need to practice)so luckily chef came out to clear table and ask about food and wholeheartedly agreed that what we were given is not what’s advertised….so as chips good I asked for refund on one meal but now kicking myself should have just paid for two portions of chips !Don't jump on the vegan bandwagon if you can’t be bothered !

Easy parking with plenty of spaces. on entering the pub we were seen to quickly and welcomed in a friendly manner. Ordering was easy and we were shown to our pre booked table. Our table was in the a window seat as requested. The eating area was clean and warm. We were seen to straight away re our drinks order and food order. All the food was well presented and cooked properly. The carvery was fantastic, Good portions and a very good choice of meats, veggies and sauces. The menu as a whole offered a varied choice. The cost was good and value for money. The venue does allow dogs to be present in the eating areas. There was music but it wasnt too loads or of poor choice. The pub is set in nice surroundings and is a nice place to be in the summer. Be warned... the carvery portions are massive. Doubt one would need a starter, if you are wanting to try the deserts menu. Finally the staff are very friendly.In all a nice experience and we will be returning again.

Staff are so accommodating we arrived asked if they had a table for two although they were fully booked for hours in advance they offered us a tall table and chairs and can I say the carvery was amazing meat and veg selection was more than many and cooked perfectly portion size is more than agreeable 😊

Under new management for the last 3 weeks. A wonderful little gem with a beautiful backdrop. The owner and staff are very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Food was delicious. We will most certainly be returning

Ate here yesterday with my children…. Absolutely fantastic… service was amazing… the carvery was delicious…. Couldn’t ask for more…. Keep up the good work!!

Sat outside, we will be here in the warmer weather

First time, and definitely won't be the last,service was excellent, and 4 of us had the carvary one of the best,plenty of choice for veg,and 3 meats,pork,turkey, and beef,

We enjoyed our meal at the Eagle and Sun we've been there a number of times over the years 😀

Popped in with my dad for a quick evening meal as couldn’t be bothered to cook . 2 delicious meals and some lovely beer and we left very happy. Great staff friendly and genuine.

Went for a family walk down the canal and after decided to pop in for some lunch. We hadn’t booked however staff were friendly and accommodating got us a table straight away. Tasty carvery, fab service and was lovely to see a real fire! Will be back!

I’ve eaten here before over many years and was very surprised to find how quiet it was here on the night. Having been travelling to the other side of the world and back for the last few months I was looking forward to real British carvery, with maybe a beer, so when visiting life long friends in Bromsgrove we decided to splash out on a 6:30 pm trip for dinner. It’s a pub of two half’s, with the old roadside part of restaurant / bar and a larger glass filled seating extension over looking the canal, so there’s plenty of room if it gets busy, but we always phone for a booking first to ensure that the carvery is actually on. Thing is now days, since recent events in the U.K. demand has somewhat dropped so we’ve lost a lot of good eateries especially those that are away from main roads in the countryside and as I said before there were only a few tables in use with maybe 30 people seated in the older area. We were greeted by the young lady at the bar and pointed to our table for 4. She then came over to take our drinks order but as we weren’t ordering anything from the food menu just carvery’s she and her colleague were soon back with our drinks and carvery tickets. Now my mate had a pint of draft Doom Bar, which I know can be a little challenging to present for the smaller establishment as transporting and tapping times can vary flavour, but he was very happy with his. The ladies had one half of a Guinness, and a half of shandy beer, both of which were fully drained over the course of the meal , a very good sign indeed, as the ladies are never shy of comment on food or drink. For myself I tried a pint of TimothyTaylor, which is a very big treat for me, as my love of beers has been strictly curtailed due to health problems, so I was extremely happy to report that the pint not only passed muster it was very tasty. Now onto the food, this may be of interest to those who’ve never visited before. The carvery is set out behind a Covid Screen, with the chef presenting your choice of meat with another staff member, filling up the plate to your orders as you go. Some may find this upsetting thinking you don’t get what you want or as much. Rubbish. Forewarned is forearmed, don’t be shy. I asked for and got three slices of beef and turkey each as I do not like pork or ham as much. As for the veg, and there was a lot of choice here, and they did not skimp on any of the servings, at all! Why the chef even presented me with a boat of extra gravy to help was down the vast amount of vegetables. So my advice is to take your time, be assertive as to your choices and amounts but be aware that at busier times it may take a little longer so send up your slower eaters first. Being with my wife, who is a professional carvery eating specialist, I can report everything was very tasty. For myself the Yorkshire puddings were slightly over done, however they still remained soft inside and with the gravy, mmmmmmmm. My favourite. The turkey was moist with loads of flavour, the beef very good. Now root veg can be a little changeable over the year but all the carrot , parsnips, swede tasted fine. The cauliflower cheese, garlic potatoes absolutely perfect, not as good as my Moms of course but still a very good second. Peas, sprouts, roast potatoes all very good, and as I missed out in a tradition Christmas dinner this year I was very happy to see the sprouts. There were more veg on offer , sweetcorn kernels , boiled potatoes, cabbage etc but I’d over indulged on my choices so the plate was full, hence the extra gravy boat. Over all what did the four of us think? Drinks good. Food very good Service very good indeed 5 stars? NO…… 4 half yes. Folks it’s a restaurant, still running after all the c**p the last few years has thrown at it, many such places have closed or fallen well below par, this place has managed to stay afloat. There appeared to be three staff on , maybe more in kitchen but all three did an excellent job though out the time we were there. The results was Four very full happy diners. So thanks again Eagle & Sun, we will return yet again.

Unfortunately not the best meal I have ever had I went for my birthday with my husband Ordered the cod. & chips mine was overdone batter was burnt girl asked if everything was ok told her she said she would tell chef but never came out a very poor meal in addition can’t see why they were sweeping floor in front of bar when customers were eating and cleaning the glass on the doors when my husband paid they said they were sorry the food was burnt and took the price of the coffee off the bill and hoped we would go back again but after looking at their carvery I don’t think so I think they could learn a lot from the The plough at far forest which is far superior Will not be going again food completely tasteless

Food was very nice, well cooked and plenty of it. Service was ok but a little disorganised. Probably needed more staff, especially as it was full ! Overall, I would go again 👍

I opted to choose from the normal menu with the battered fish and chips. The piece I had was 95% batter, which was mega greasy. It says something when the chips were the best part of the meal. The majority of the family had the carvery, which they were happy with, and I did try the beef, and that was exceptional. The service was quite slow, and the empty plates stayed on our table for a good 25 minutes. There was also a promotion of Pepsi (fizzy drinks) where the driver would get free drinks, but I had 3 pints of Pepsi and paid £3.80 for each one of them. I dont feel its upto me to tell the staff. They should be the ones asking. After all, it was them that said we didn't need a stamp??? I will say that this is my first bad experience from a dozen visits in the last few years, so maybe a bad day at the office.

Went for a carvery only to find out that’s it’s not really a carvery as you can not help yourself..there was a miserable chef behind a screen very inpatient, rude and literally threw our food onto our plates!! Shocking. The food was inedible my wife didn’t even eat hers. Pub staff/managers were not very helpful and abrupt on entering and waiting for service… From what being one of the best carvery’s in Worcestershire to the worst unfortunately..shame. Our previous time we were told their wasn’t any sauces to see a great big bowl full as we left. It’s a lovely setting especially in the summer but unfortunately we will not go back. Hate to think what their breakfasts are like..

Had a superb Christmas Day lunch. Food was great and staff were fantastic. We will definitely go back.

Came for xmas eve, but cork quite a lot for a summer drink or carvery. Excellent food as always, HUGE portions and expertly cooked. Great staff, friendly and nice atmosphere. Best carvery in the area

Nice food, long queue to pay and then join the queue to get buffet food. Good deal for seniors with smaller appetite.

Great Carvery. Small plate carvery was huge.

Very helpful, nice food and attentive service

Great carvery, extensive choice of vegetables and perfectly cooked beef.

Lovely Carvery menu. Really big portions! The Eagle and Sun staff were fabulous- they fitted a party of 9 in at really short notice. Made us feel really welcome.

Lovely pub, excellent food. The only reason I gave 4 stars on the atmosphere is because we went in at the start of the lunchtime service, so there was hardly anyone in there. W will definitely be back.

Great value carvery plenty of food and good service. Great to get a carvery at 4pm!

Very good Sunday roast carvery. Good food, loads of choice and very good serving size.

I brought my cousin here over the weekend as I live not too far from droitwich and we fancied a proper good carvery. I’ve been there before and nothings changed, everything is just as good as before. Good portions, Good environment and lovely staff. We left very full!

Excellent service and generous portions. We really enjoyed our Saturday lunch.

Nice pint of Timothy Taylors on a canalside walk. Carvery was inviting but would have negated the whole point of a healthy walk, we will return for a meal once we have burned off some more calories.

Regular place for Sunday carvery when we visit my Dad. Great food and great service

If u don't have the carvery don't bother!

Dropped in for food I ordered fish and chips my partner had ciabatta’s both were delicious but I couldn’t finish mine the portion was huge we will return and have a carvery that looked delicious

Fantastic carvery, a massive selection of veg, plus the meat.

I have a personal standard of not leaving bad reviews but always will if the experience is ok. This was the worst burger I have ever eaten texture like dry cardboard, no flavour associated with any meat content. I was really hungry and didnt have the where with all to send it back. Just left half of it. I didnt fancy a face off with the mardy server.

Excellent food, friendly staff.Good selection of ales.

The staff, at least the one that took my money and then served my food, was surely and barely on the right side of rude. I think she might just struggle to keep her job in the USA. She made a right song and dance when taking the cold yorkshire pudding off my plate to replace it with a fresh one. 🙄 The food was good, as usual.

What a great Carvery! Best i have had in a long while. I had the small size, and well, i could barely finish it. The pub itself is right on the Worcedyershire Canal system. Picnic tables down by the riverside, kids playing, and dogs. A beautiful location and pub. Very reasonably priced. Defo recommend this place for a nice relaxing drink near the riverside and superb food.

The most amazing carvery selection, delicious food and a lovely cold house white wine. Excellent service. A lovely stop on our canal boat weekend, I highly recommend!

Excellent carvery and good service. Conservatory area overlooking the canal is great, but the main pub area is a little dated/tired looking

Nice food and staff but pub look plain in decor but pleasant enough place

Disappointingly the food we ordered was poor , the batter on the Cod dish was well undercooked, it was the same on all 3 fish dishes we ordered. But most concerning we ordered a child’s menu of chicken Goujons and when if arrived it was fish fingers, with the staff member informing us they had No chicken ! We gave feedback particularly concerning the child’s order that no one informed us that the dish was unavailable . This meal was not eaten as the child is not partial to fish fingers. When we paid our bill I had to ask for the fish finger meal to be removed from the bill. There’s was no apology worth mentioning, we have eaten here before and the food has been good.. would I recommend the Eagle & Sun for their cod dish ? Not after today I’m afraid.

Shocked and disgusted Chef refused to do a little serving of mash potato for a guest in our party of 12 who can only manage to eat mashed potatoes due to oesophageal cancer, even with 3 days prior warning, obviously had to cancel booking

Food was amazing. The quality of the meat was incredible. I will definitely visit again !

We both had carvery was a little surprised to be served with the vegetables but the staff. Nothing wrong with it just not what we were used to.

Roast potatoes not deep fat fried

Beautiful location and good food.

I’m not a big fan of “carvery” style pub chains but this place is on another level when it comes to a carvery. All cooked by a proper chef and taste like home made. Generous portions and great quality meats, you will not be disappointed. All washed down with a thatchers haze - amazing 🤩

Last minute family get together and excellent lunchtime food enjoyed by all. Portion sizes were much better than ‘average’. Everything cooked to perfection and five very happy customers. The location is great, overlooking the Birmingham and Worcester Canal where there is a lot of activity. Plenty of parking space and a light and airy atmosphere. 🤓

All staff are 2nd to none highly recommended my dad is 90 mom 80 enjoyed to carvery 2nd to none Than you

Went for Sunday lunch but hadn't booked, so were very happy when we were seated promptly. Food and service were excellent. Absolutely will visit again. Well done.
