Gardeners Arms in Wychavon

Called in for Sunday lunch after a dog walk. Lovely meal, lots of it, vegetables fresh. Served quickly, staff friendly. Lovely atmosphere and dog friendly.

Absoloutly awful experience. Arrived at 12.30pm, a queue had formed from the bar to the entrance door. Only person behind the bar. Had to push through the crowd to get into the pub. Waited 10 minutes to order a drink and the menu. Ordered a fish finger sandwich and ceasar chicken salad. Waited half an hour to get the food. The fish finger sandwich contained half a heavily battered piece of fish. 3 times more greasy batter than the 2" long piece of fish I eventually found. The salad consisted solely of lettuce leaves with pieces of deep fried chicken slices on top. Most of tge food we left uneaten. During the whole experience there was one single guy serving behind the bar, taking food orders, waiting tables and taking payments. I waited 15 minutes to pay and nearly walked away. Not even asked if we were satisfied. Normally experiences using Trip Adviser have been good. Will never visit the Gardeners again, steer clear.

We popped in for lunch and a couple of beers. The BLT and fish finger sandwiches were spot on with a delicious side salad and fries, all nice and hot (not the salad!). Beer was perfect on a nice sunny day in the great Beer garden and all staff were very friendly and attentive. Definitely returning soon!

Lovely food 😋 husband v impressed with gammon steak, egg & skin on chips. I had scampi + halloumi fries, enjoyed it all. Atmosphere was right up our street, classic rock being played. Excellent 🤘🏼 Will definitely be going back! Nice people have taken over the management of this rural village pub. Good stuff

We stopped for lunch, and ordered toasted ciabatta sandwiches and a portion of chips to share. When my tuna, sweetcorn and mayonnaise one arrived it was garnished with pea shoots that had gone yellow and limp. The tuna had not been drained properly and the bread was soaked. It all sat on the biggest dollop of balsamic vinegar dressing you could imagine! The chips never turned up! Definitely would not recommend or return.

Great place to spend some time with family, the staff is adorable and the food is great ! Love having the owners dogs hang around the pub too !

Great place to have lunch, the lasagna was delicious and the staff is so sweet ! Definitely will be back !

Absolute shambles of a place . Been using here weekends for over 10 yrs but tonight is the last time . Ordered food I had BLT and I'm not sure if we have a lettuce shortage in this country but mine came out with a stamp size piece ( have photo to prove ) sent back , didn't touch and was charged full price for it . Can't get served up the bar because the fella serving has to run to the kitchen to fetch food as well as serve beer even though there's waiting staff standing with arms behind her back . I would imagine that this is the managers first time running a pub and it shows . Such a shame as this was a great little pub I will make a prediction now that the management won't be here in 18 months or the pub will shut altogether.

Great Sunday lunch, would recommend A*

Excellent Sunday Lunch (Halloumi & Ultimate Roasts were really good). Great Staff & lovely atmosphere + dog friendly too

Great little pub with good food and super friendly owners. Big garden for kids to play in summer, and they even open on a Monday!

Kieran prepared an exceptional meal, home made lasagna, fish & chips, beef burger & the best ribeye blue steak we've had in England. He was very polite and advised the best meals.

Easily one of the best pubs I’ve eaten at. Run by wonderful and real people doing what they love and you can feel it and taste it. The butty and steak and ale pie are delicious. I came back another night for the fish and chips and left happy. It’s solid food and solid drink prepared by solid people with warm and cozy ambience. I can’t wait to return.

We tried the Gardeners tonight for the first time under the new ownership of Kieran & Justine. Wow!! The place is so welcoming & cosy, Hubby had steak & chips ( And a really good Guinness ) & I had Liver & onions, followed by Caramel ice cream & Warm Bakewell tart with ice cream, & two cappuccino’s. The presentation was beautiful, & the service was amazing. We will definitely be back soon. Highly recommended. ❤️ We wish Kieran & Justine every success with your new business.

Cosy pub, good variety of food. We went on a Friday lunchtime. It was quiet but service quick. They had a high chair for our baby and even a changing mat in the ladies which it never used to have. I also noticed some books for children which will be nice if we go back with my 5 year old. Tasty ale my husband says!

Beautiful pub in a chocolate box location. Best liver and onions, to die for. Chef makes miracles on a plate. Massive portions. Great bar service. I wll be back . Wine was good as well.

The pub is very pretty and cozy. The staff was nice and we got served quickly. I had the vegan burger, I wanted to try one of the vegan dessert but I didn’t have any more room. The burger was perfect, tasty and big. The fries were delicious too and they had vegan mayo. I highly recommend to try it! Unfortunately I didn’t take a picture but the portion was generous. 10/10

Stopped by the Gardeners on a Monday as it was tricky to get food anywhere else. good surprise to see the pub open with new faces. Vegetarian options were very nice! Will come back to try more of the menu

Thought the menu was poor, lack of vegetables on offer. Had to wait a very long time for our meal, when it came the portions were small, my husband had pie and mash, literally was a spoonful of mash, a small slice of pie, part of the pastry he couldn’t even put his fork into and a spoonful of peas, costing around £15, certainly not value for money. I love visiting the village and the pub but sadly won’t be returning.

Love comming here, nice friendly pub with lots of local walks, perfect for pints and paws, good carpark and garden, and now under new ownership it seems to be open more often than beffore and much more consistant

Love this pub came for the quiz absoloutly great

Absolutely amazing atmosphere, always felt welcome and appreciated as customers, the staff are so lovely and I love seeing the pub dogs hanging out at the pub!

Had a lovely lunch with my mum,fish and chips were perfect.Kieran and Justine were very welcoming. The pub had a warm fire and was cosy ,also the dogs enhanced the experience.

Pop in for a crafty pint as I heard it was under new management. Has had a nice makeover and excellent pint of Butty. But why have your dogs sitting on the seats when customers need a seat?

Everyone was just so nice, the staff is so kind and the food is so good !! Definitely will come back

Changed a lot since my last review the wine selection is hit and miss but everything else seems the same, except the atmosphere which feels a tad down, still busy though.

Went for a family roast dinner. Was ok, nothing to rave about, but if you like your beef, maybe this isn't the place for you. It was the thinnest couple of slices we've ever had anywhere. It wasn't the tastiest for the money paid. Waitress also asked if we'd finished, when It was quite clear one of us was still eating.

Delicious Sunday roast.. Great service .. generous portions. White chocolate cheesecake was so yummy 😋

Was at a wake , and the buffet was very well put together, friendly staff, recommended!

We wasn’t looking forward to going due to the latest reviews but was pleasantly surprised. Lovely atmosphere, lovely beer and nice food, just what we wanted.

Very pleasant experience - the food excellent, particularly liked the fact you could order a selection of starters for the table to share. The service & atmosphere were also great.

What a lovely 2 pints real ale enjoyed & I'll be back for more.guess what I've been back Butty Bach superb.

I must say the outside seating area is lethal and an accident waiting to happen! It is in a pretty village but wooden seats were barely holding on to frame, splintered and dangerous! You have many many months before summer to update and make safe or replace these so why not???!!!! It really looks and feels awful and no way was we going to order food if we cudnt sit and enjoy it comfortably! Management please take a look and make safe! It wasn't one table and chairs it was most of them!

Terrible avoid!! Family meal, the food was totally shocking, unless you like paying £22 for frozen rubbish. £4.95 for Aldi essentials frozen onion rings. What a joke. Complained about quality as sons meal inedible,offered 15% off didn't even cover the meal, came back with 25% off joke! Owners kept sending waiter to deal with wouldn't even come and acknowledge complaint themselves. Smelly building, old and outdated. Do not waste your money...

This country pub in Charlton serves a delicious Sunday lunch and staff are suoer friendly. Pub is dog friemdly and accessible. They also serve special doggy food in recyclable bowls! Great out dorr seating area and garden space . Highly recommended .

Trying different pubs for lunch in the area and this time it was The Gardeners Arms...let us say they did not disappoint. Great areas inside and out to eat, great selection of drinks available. The staff super friendly and really attentive. Albeit we are trying new pubs, this will need a revisit for us as the food is amazing and superb value for money. Great job guys for looking after my sister and I, more importantly my elderly mother. Thank you.👍

Weve been visiting this lovely pub for around 10 years. The staff and place are all very lovely. However today we have visited and ordered the lasagne twice at just shy of £15 each. It was by far the worst dish ive eaten in a very long time. I didnt like to complain and understand that i probably should have and luckily my husband finished mine so wasn't a total waste. Not sure if its a new chef or maybe a stand in but it really didnt give the usual quality at all. Left very disappointed ☹️

We sat outside and has the beef lasagne. It was lovely 😍. Helpful, friendly staff xx

Previously visited for Sunday lunch and it was AMAZING. This visit last week the food was NOWHERE NEAR ON PAR, and was rather disappointing

No staff so had to wait too long to get served

We visited this beautiful place last night for a meal as we were staying locally. We were welcomed with the biggest & warmest of smiles and the greateast of atmospheres. The Locals also very kind, talking and making us feel very welcome. The lady behind the bar is an apsalute credit, she alone pulled out all the stops to make us welcome and that we had everything we wanted & needed. The food was divine, we couldn't fault anything at all, also sat infront of a log fire. We are upset as wanted to go back today but unfortunately where we were staying was already booked uo this eveing, but defiantly worth the travel to come back again, we look forward to revisiting soon. Jess & Ryan ♡ **thank you for making our night special**

Not knowing the area we drove to take a look at possible venues for a family Wake and felt the comfort of the Gardeners Arms on arrival. Sam and her team were kind and considerate, nothing would be too much trouble. On the day we welcomed around 70-80 guests who were all made comfortable throughout the rooms, the log burner already warming the space. The buffet food was a mixture of chicken, spring rolls, selection of sandwiches, coleslaw and potatoe salad, with a variety of sweet treats also. We had a guest with coeliac requirements and a plate was prepared in advance. We couldn't recommend this venue enough from our experience, and many of our guests said they would travel to return here for a meal as it was such a lovely experience at the Wake.

Visited here as part of the family celebration of the passing of a family member.

Love ❤️ this village pub. On way back from Warwick we popped in the 4 of us. Delicious cooked lunch of lasagne, fish and chips, ham, and risotto. Would defo recommend. Nice open fire 🔥 in the bar area too.

We were visiting family in the area and had all arranged to go for Sunday lunch. We had our dog with us so had a table booked in the bar area. Nice atmosphere, with people coming and going the whole time we were there, and a really tasty Sunday lunch. Great desserts too, and a good range of gluten free options for one of our group as well. All of this with very friendly service. We'll definitely be back!

Lovly old pub great atmosphere 👌

We visited this pub as it was close to where we were staying Lovely pub, large outdoor space Not busy… probably about 10 tables taken. Food took 45mins to arrive. Wasnt great when it did arrive…. peas a little dried up, chips were over cooked and bread bit stale. Reason was that the chef was stressed as 4/5 orders came in at once. Totally get that it might take time, but at least make it nice when it comes and the chef being stressed isn’t a reason to leave us that long. I noticed other customers who weren’t there when we ordered were eating in the bar area when I went in to ask where it was. I’m not usually one to leave a bad review but £30 for kids meal, lunchtime (small meal) and a sandwich is enough to pay.. it should come timely and be nice when it gets there

Lovely meal with family. Ham egg and chips superb. Steal pie had a lovely flavour and was very enjoyable but a reheated slice of pie. Didn't spoil the meal though. Staff attentive and put candles I a pudding for a birthday celebration. A Saturday night but very quiet in there which is a shame for the pub as the food is good.

This place was recommend to us and we were expecting more for the nice location. The pub inside had a weird smell and found it pricey for what we ordered. It will s definitely not worth the money.

Food was good service OK a little vague as to the actual restaurant area

Food was fantastic and it's dog friendly

Lovely relaxed pub in a beautiful quiet village location nice friendly staff and great range of food for everyone.. Highly recommend

Went for a midweek lunch. Could have sat inside or outside, loads of space. Lovely local pub. Food was generous and very tasty - had the homemade pie. Great location in pretty village for a drive out

A nice popular country pub friendly staff food cooked fresh generous helping

We went for early evening dinner. The food was not as hot as I would have liked I think it was a bit over priced for what we had. The craft beers were good.

I sat outside I stopped initially around 4.30 for Food and a Break from Driving,but No evidence of Food until later So I moved on.

Nice place, But £5.05 for half a bitter and a fruit juice . Shan’t be going back in a hurry.

Food was amazing & service was good x

Always great for Sunday lunch and real ale!

Warm Welcome, lovely Public House/Restaurant, good menu and offer gluten free food too. Lovely food and good size portions. One I definitely would return too and recommend

Fantastic place to vist. Old school, with great food and drink! A must visit for anyone passing by!!👍

No jack Daniels or any bourbon at the bar ,,😖

Looks amazing pub, I never realised I had to book a table, so no idea what it's like.

Lovely village pub. Food was delicious and plentiful. Four stars because of very poor vegetarian options

Good food, delicious dessert, lovely atmosphere and super friendly staff! Really a nice place to go.

Sunday lunch... M. The best I have had in a restaurant! Staff were all friendly and helpful, lovely atmosphere, Thoroughly recommended!

Such a lovely pub! I had the salmon, it was amazing! My partner had fish and chips which was also equally as delicious. Nice sized portions too! Definitely recommend.

Always a warm welcome and great food. Staff are welcoming and efficient. Becoming a firm favourite

Local (ish) pub great atmosphere and friendly staff , we went to the pop up kitchen and it was fantastic definitely going again

We turned up on mass as a group of walkers and found plenty of seating in the garden and 2 bar staff to work through our orders. Great place to walk to from Evesham and stop for refreshments.

For the price they charge for the pizzas, it's absolutely not worth wasting your money. Shockingly small, massively over priced, and burnt. Very disappointing

Had a great evening, we had a pizza from the wood fired pizza oven which was amazing! Along with some great beers. Lovely picturesque pub with some great staff! Would recommend to anyone that wants to enjoy an lovely evening in the sun.

Sort the noise out. Don’t need a load of yobs shouting all the time.

Used to be a really nice country pub, great for families, now just full of shouty yobs who drive in from other areas. Amazed it’s still going

Traditional family pub. I have been coming here on and off for twenty years. Food is very British and large portions. We had the Sunday roast which was superb. Good to see a new covered outdoor seating area. Highly recommended

Great pub, staff and atmosphere!

Brilliant as ever worth the ride from Redditch foods great

Brilliant place to go for lunch the home made lasagne is a must

Lovely location and a busy local pub with a good atmosphere. If I could I would have knocked off half a star because I would love to see some new food on the menu here, needs some variety. Although the fish and chips I had last week was EXCELLENT and their roasts are also very good

Booked in for Sunday lunch. I’m not normally into roasts but it was delicious!!! Loads of extra veg so we had a doggy bag of meat scraps and veg for us humans to make bubble and squeak on Monday.

Lovely place. Never been before but just stopped at the first place we came across. Great menu and good food. Lovely staff too. Would go again.

Great food, reasonably priced and friendly staff

I loved this pub. Excellent food and service. Restaurant well laid out to give good space. Highly recommended.

Lovely, small and cozy traditional country pub! Great selection of drinks (gins, wines, beer and soft drinks) and food and lovely attentive staff. We went after traveling back from Cheltenham & wanted a nice pub meal and we got exactly what we wanted. The food was fab, and as already stated the staff were attentive and noticed when we wanted another drink. It was served quickly and my request for no peas was accommodated (most restaurants do not do this - no allergy but I don't like peas!) and no peas were served with my fish and chip meal. We enjoyed a game of pool afterwards and felt welcome with the locals despite not being from the area. There's a lovely warm cozy feeling about the the pub, and we are going to go back for a Sunday roast very soon! Highly recommend, might be a little out of the way but well worth the visit.

Lovely meal had salmon .Disappointed there wasn't more vegetarian meals on menu .

This place is a family favourite, great food & very good service. The owners & staff should be very proud of themselves.

Usually quite busy, however not so busy this time down to cancellations based on covid-19. We had a table for 8 plus high chair, able to talk to everyone so took advantage of it being quieter than normal. Full menu was available and decent selection of beers 🍻 etc. Food was lovely and competitively priced. The staff spoit us tbh. They now have a couple of marquees outside probably for possible future restrictions, which the locals seem to appreciate, children and dogs 🐕 allowed in the outside areas, and probably allowed inside if they behave themselves.

Two of us went there, early, for a Sunday lunch. Service was attentive and fast. Decor was understated and clean. But the food... Oh! The food. Chef Pete, the food. (I'm moist and salivary now as I recall it.) We had 2 starters,a main and two deserts. The starters (Mushroom with stilton and walnut, and a beetroot chutney and then Sticky pork belly with an onion chutney, with extra of roast potatoes and a jug of gravy) were fingerlickingly delicious when the gravy was mixed with the mustard-grain salad dressing. The roast lamb was palest pink and tender as... as anything; a wide selection of vegetables were so tender and fresh that they were still probably still growing. The roast parsnip was the high-end equivalent of an Aunt Bessie's roastie, and the potatoes were actually better than A.B's. Other green stuffs were steamed to a T. For desert we both chose the home-made smooth, silky chocolate tart with raspberries and cream. Perfection. That pastry on the tart, Chef Pete, that was a perfect, crunchy gem of patisserie-ishness. We loved your lunch, Chef Pete. We were very pleased we took the first sitting at 12:00 because by 12:30 the place was heaving with people arriving, meeting friends, having drinks and discussing their lunch choices. PS Servers were not wearing masks at the time as this was not mandatory, (before Omicron) and I'm sure that, if we had asked, they would have put them on.

Haven’t been here for ages so popped in on a Wednesday night. It’s so cosy in the winter, proper British pub vibe. I had a steak. They make the chips which are super chunky. Attentive service and delicious food all round. Love the salad dressing and the side salads are always great.

Enjoyed a pleasant meal on a Saturday lunchtime.

A well managed village pub close to Jubilee Bridge and the river Avon. The Bacon and Halloumi sandwich was excellent value for money, which I suspect is representative of the food in general and would explain the popular local lunchtime trade.

Great outdoor space and pub food. They also have wood fired pizza oven.

Friendly service. Nice Sunday lunch. Good real Ales. Choice of ciders. Bar snacks available. Will return.

We called in here by chance after a walk. We wanted a snack lunch but liked the look of the Sunday roasts. A good decision! We tried the chicken and lamb, the food was piping hot (even though we were sitting outside), and the vegetables were all cooked to perfection even though it was the tail end of lunch time (2:30pm). Really couldn’t find fault with the food and the service. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Booked a table here at the last minute as we were passing through and the reviews looked decent. Ordered some drinks and my pint was flat so ordered another which was not much better. Didn’t want to cause a fuss so ignored it and went to the restaurant section to see where we had been seated. A fat man in shorts was sitting at a table and he was really stern with my partner. He shouted quite loudly “err excuse me this is the restaurant” I said I know and we have booked a table. He dident even respond, he just grunted and mumbled something to the person opposite him. We felt very awkward and walked back out into the bar area. We then witnessed him bullying a member of staff which put us off the place completely. While we were there someone complained about finding a piece of plastic in their food so that was enough for us to cancel our table. The pub looked nice from the outside but was quite grubby inside and the landlord should book in to charm school for a while.

Lovely setting in quiet Cotswold village. Excellent service and well presented pub grub at an affordable price. Highly recommend .

Really nice food and exceptional staff. Everyone was very friendly as soon as we stepped in, Especially the young girm who served us. Would highly recommend!

Delicious Sunday Roast, very generous portion size - great value for money. Had a lovely spot in the garden, staff were all very friendly. Couldn’t fault it. Will be back again

Good atmosphere and kind staff. Food was well cooked but felt a bit dated. We only had the option of Sunday menu so not seen the full menu, which might be better. Would definitely go back and try the pizza shame it's not available every night.
