Gardeners Arms Pub Restaurant in Wychavon

Fantastic pub with brilliant menu choice and quality food. Paul was a brilliant host, we really enjoyed ourselves and had a good laugh. Wish it was our local.

Worst customer service ever, I can’t believe how rude the lady was who answered the phone when I chased our order (which was over 1.5 hours since ordering) her unprofessionalism was so severe that it forced me to cancel my order. That lady was not just rude, but aggressively sarcastic, it was as if she took pleasure in being offensive and disrespectful as possible. I have never encountered such blatant disrespect and lack of basic curtesy in any restaurant ever! Appalling service, shame that member of staff let the place down!

Order delivery today and there food was lovely, quick delivery and cheaper than plastic dominos for a family of 3 I have also had there Roasts which are delicious

Popped in the gardeners arms for Sunday lunch and a couple of drinks very friendly staff. I would highly recommend, food was amazing and great value for money, will definitely be going back 😀

DO NOT ORDER * Ordered breakfast from the Deliveroo app, also had the same menu on just eat. Had a voicemail after waiting 25 minutes to say they don’t do this anymore, didn’t offer anything else. I had to ask what they actually do as on the apl there is a Wide range. They told me I have to contact Deliveroo to get this cancelled even though they has accepted the order and on the app states preparing order. So when trying to contact Deliveroo it just tells you to contact the restaurant. Staff were not very helpful and rude on the phone, was made to feel this I was my fault!? Still awaiting refund.

Popped in for lunch on Saturday. Had a pint of the house pale ale and it was in fine condition. We choose to sit in the restaurant, small and cosy with only 16 covers. It has an pleasant old skool ambiance, and pleasant piano music playing. The menu is extensive, all home made and the specialty pies sound delicious. Our sandwiches served in a flatbread were excellent. Thick cut ham and good cheesy chips and salad. Deb enjoyed her fish too. Friendly service and good value. We’ll definitely return.

Arrived at 11:15 am as website said open at 11am, front door was open so we entered for a drink. In comes a lady to say they are not open although the website says it is. We apologize and ask for opening hrs to be told 11:30 to 12. What an unprofessional way to run a pub. We will not return to this establishment and I look forward to hearing their response.

Made to feel very unwelcome by staff, almost as we were a nuisance. Barmaid got distracted by talking to other staff halfway through taking the order with no apology. Long wait for food although the pub was very quiet. When the food arrived it was placed on the table with no cutlery. Having waited several minutes while our food was going cold, the barmaid eventually reappeared with oir chips. When asked for cutlery and was told very curtly that it was in another room where "you normally order your food". As this was our first visit we were not aware of this. Sadly, it will also be our last visit and will look to find a more welcoming hostelry next time we visit Droitwich. At best the food was average but the sausage sandwiches and fish finger sandwich were served on a very odd flatbread (apparently the baker was on holiday so no cottage buns were available). However, the chips were very nice.

We stopped for a drink in the sunshine. The pub garden is very tired looking. My pint of wainwrights was on the turn but my wife had a nice cider. We didn’t eat but the food here did look.

Awesome meal... Couldn't believe we found fall-off-the-bone kleftico and a perfectly cooked steak - both with very fresh salad and balsamic dressing - on a Monday night in Droitwich! All served in one of their romantic taverna-style covered booths. Very welcoming to us turning up out of nowhere, and extra friendly to our two dogs.

Hidden gem. Lovely staff, excellent choice of beers and draught ciders. Pies are outstanding. Dogs made very welcome. Highly recommended .

Lovely food but poor service. Manager was really rude and abrupt, especially to his staff. The garden and pub really need some money put into it, as it’s over grown and shabby. Food is excellent though.

I rate this experience a 5 out a 5, great food great drinks . Staff really good, always checking up on you and good to talk to. Worth every bit of money

Beautiful Sunday lunch both meats very tender and vegetables cooked to perfection, as our friend who was visiting said it was well worth the journey from Devon well done x

First visit for lunch so ate in the bar area because we had a dog with us. Cosy surroundings with a mammoth collection of ornaments, pictures and memorabilia, clean and pleasing. Very friendly atmosphere (staff and locals) and a wide selection of beers and spirits. Great food all prepared and cooked in house, will definitely go again.

Second time visiting this charming little pub, had to come back for more delicious home cooked food! The Worcestershire pie and bangers and mash were particular highlights, loads of flavour and nice crunchy veggies :-) staff are friendly , and so are the locals- very welcoming. Had fun playing dominoes but didn't finish our game as the wait for food was not long at all. Definitely recommend :-)

An evening I prefer to forget quickly I took the souvlaki that was nothing like the description on the restaurant menu. Got a cock and bull story that the chef prepared based on the take away menu and tried to suggest it was my mistake. Got a replacement 15 minutes after the first attempt came out by which time everyone else had more or less finished Basically there is far too much selection on the menu and would recommend a more simplified menu should be considered including the addition of steak !! Certainly would not recommend and for sure will not return

The beer was not the beer on the pump clip - and was definitely not anywhere near it's best. And the food was dreadful, no "is everything ok?" Just took it away with no query. A surly barman too... I would avoid at all costs.

Asked for no mint sauce or cucumber, yet got both. No chips as described with the souvlaki. Extremely poor attitude when given feedback on the previous day’s order over the chewy beef. He’ll sack the Chef! Ungrateful considering the £42 spent in 2 orders. 2nd...

It used to be a decent place but it has gone WAY downhill. Do not order from here and do not visit, its overpriced and the food they give you is stingy and small and tastes very cheap and is not cooked well.

A quirky pub indeed. Staff are extremely friendly. The food was amazing. We went on a Sunday, so it was Sunday lunch, ie Pork, Beef, Lamb & Chicken or Nutroast. We had Pork and Lamb, both really tasty, and LOTS of it. You go to...

This is a traditional English pub and is popular. The reason we went was because it was dog friendly and we could take the dog in with us. However, Lily was not welcome. The member of staff commented on the fact that she was another...

During the pandemic when all the restaurants are close, Gardeners arms delivered/served such amazing food.

I've bought this same order before and loved it. This one was horrible in comparison. Chips were cold and not properly cooked. Burger was very greasy and tasted weird. I dont think it was off, but it didn't taste right. Needless to say, I won't...

I would highly recommend the service provided by the Catering Staff from both the professional Chefs to Katie and Millie at the ordering hatch. They are always very professional in whatever they do. The meals come to how you like it gravy or no gravy....

Visited this little gem 2 nights in a row, whilst we were moored up on our narrow boat holiday, the food on both nights was superb, plenty of selection from the rather large menu! The setup outside is very well thought out, made for pleasant...

What a fantastic place to have food. We all ordered different dishes and not one single complaint. We spoke to the chef after telling her we would be back.

Breakfast was amazing, piping hot and came on time highly recommended defo order again and the staff are very helpful

Went in today with my husband, food was lovely and service was excellent, the young ladies in the kitchen were so polite and friendly. Our meals were hot and no complaints on that front, my one issue however is with one gentleman that seemed to...

Visited for Sunday lunch. Thoughly enjoyed. Friendly staff. Beef served as it should be. Will return. I dropped a beer - they replaced it without asking.

The welcome was friendly enough, the service very, very slow and the food itself was tasteless. It was also incredibly hot, as though it had spent too long in the microwave. This wasn't just my view, but the people I was with agreed the food...

went here today woth my partner had a lovely meal,,best roast iv had in a while will definitely be returning,,Top marke to the young lady in the kitchen today,,We will definitely be returning

We went here today for Sunday lunch. Would never return. It’s a grubby, run down place. Gardens are a mess and unsafe. Kids play area is non existent and looks like a scrap yard but isn’t blocked off correctly at all. Landlady is rude and...

Amazing service, food was brilliant. thank You to the land lady that looked after us. Large party not a problem and the food was spot on.......

Very welcoming people, really nice food, good range of beers and ciders. Quirky place but would certainly use again if passing

A lovely location but the staff didn't seem ready to cope with post lockdown bookings. Wide choice of food, but disappointing quality. Unfortunately, not all meals were hot when served. Would have preferred less choice with better quality. Had to go to inside bar to order drinks, rather than table service.

The whole experience was great.... was nice to be able to take my mum out for something to eat and this place delivered a outstanding meal, I’ll definitely eat here again, in fact this is going to be our “new” go to place for food well done to the chefs and great friendly service by Paul(I think) who made us feel very welcome seriously recommend this place.

Found this pub while out for a walk. Quaint and homely. Made very welcome. Prompt service. Lovely home cooking. Delicious pies.

Always enjoy the fact they promote using local produce. Good hearty food, no nonsense trying to be something out isn't. Will always use here when in the area

We found this pub after visiting another close by only offering 2 dishes. We were both starving and needed some proper filling food. We were taken aback by the outside spaces, lots of areas of seating, all different and most with a bar that wasnt staffed while we visited but the owner told us they usually are , but during restrictions things work a bit differently of course. Id describe this place as a bit quirky, id be interested to see the live bands in the top garden stage....maybe next year! Anyway...food was great, we ordered 2 Worcestershire pies, chips , came with lovely fresh veg not frozen rubbish and gravy. Pies were packed full of meat and so flavoursome, we loved them. There was plenty of other types of dishes to choose from on the menu. Nice, helpful staff. We will definitely be back to work our way through the pie menu

Just had a huge sunday roast and beautiful has always food cooked to perfection. The food in the pub is world class you need to come visit and try it for your self. Family friendly covid safe the staff can not do enough for the customers. The pub also has a wide selection of beers ales wine and spirits. Well done guys Fred

Friendly staff who were very accommodating. Extensive menu; award winning pies; allergy aware. Very near canal if you are on a boating holiday! Definitely recommend

The Gardeners Arms held our Son's 1st Birthday party on Saturday 15.08.20 and Edith, Simon and the team worked so hard to make sure the day was perfect for us. The food that was provided (kids) and ordered and purchased by the adults was faultless. Given the current situation with COVID-19 everybody there felt safe, socially distanced and had a great afternoon/evening. Would highly recommend giving the Gardeners Arms, Droitwich a visit whether it be for a drink, food or considering for any occasions you have coming up. Friendly, welcoming service all round

What an amazing place, the Landlord, Landlady and all the Staff are so welcoming and friendly.I will let all my friends and family know about this place. Nowhere in Droitwich can beat them.

A group of Droitwich friends and I met at 17.45 for drinks and to eat at this pub. It started badly as there was only one real ale on offer. Four of us ordered food at 18.20. After 2.5 hours we eventually gave up, very hungry, and got our money back. They seemed to be prioritising takeaways and other customers. There was no communication from the surly landlord and landlady and no apologies. It was one of the worst examples of customer service I have ever witnessed.

So pleased we stopped for lunch here. Superb food and choice of drinks - and a friendly welcome - definitely recommend and look forward to coming back - thank you!

Fantastic service despite the COVID rules, made to feel very welcome and delicious food, highly recommended

Went to the Gardeners for a couple of drinks. It was good to see the staff again and husband enjoyed a pint of draft beer. The owners have built some outdoor covered booths which look cosy. Lots and lots of outdoor socially distanced tables. Good effort by The Gardener's Arms

Booked in advance and dinner for 7 was delivered, a little late but forgiven in these difficult times. I have enjoyed the Gardeners Arms many times, this was the first delivery that I had ordered. Good food, good service and all delivered with a smile! Well done we'll be back!

We ordered the fish and. Chips for 4 food was 30 minutes late in comming the fish was soggy and the chip where horrible I would not recommend this at all

Never again.... ordered chix pie... chicken pasta and 2 children’s meals the chicken pie was literally dry and black inside the pasta was dry undercooked and bland, the kids pizzas were nice but certainly not homemade, 2 days later we decided to try once more and try the Sunday lunch that everyone raves about .... oh my goodness !! Should have known from the previous meal that it wasn’t going to be good. The pork wasn’t roasted it was cooked in water no taste what so ever and what should be cracking looked like a thin layer of rubber ... the potatoes and veg Was hard and roasted veg was hard and no colour to them at all completely undercooked the gravy is like water the stuffing is dry packet mix and the Yorkshire pudding was obviously shop bought but it broke into pieces when we tried to cut it. Waste of money none of the meals were eaten except the kids pizza from the first order Never will I ever order again.

We ordered Sunday roast for five. It was brilliant! Very tasty, everyone could have the meat they wanted or the veggie nut roast. Arrived hot & special measures were taken against corona (full suit, gloves and mask on delivery). Simon and the team are one of the few places to pivot their offering to delivery and continue to serve the community in these times. They should be applauded. All I’d say is order early, we tried to do it again this Sunday afternoon and ordered too late!

Once again great food and takeaway service, going above and beyond in these uncertain times. 👏👏👏 Easy over the phone order and the food arrived piping hot. Thanks!

We had a food delivery last night and it was very good and efficient. We both went for their specialist sausage options with plenty of veg and roast potatoes. It was tasty and a good price.

We had delivered our roast beef dinner today, Mother’s Day, and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the Gardeners Arms for a lovely meal; good food, arrived on time, very good value for money. I can’t thank you enough for this service. Big thanks again couldn’t fault it.

Having recently moved to Droitwich it’s taken us a while to find a pub we like but this little gem has everything, it’s welcoming, cosy, quirky and intimate with really scrummy food, and a whopping menu including an incredible array of vegetarian options!5 meals so far, all of which were yummy but last nights steaks were perfect and it’s great that the chef himself comes to check how the food is Looking forward to our next visit.

If we lived nearby we would certainly use this pub.Food was good and had a friendly atmosphere.We were looking for an Italian restaurant which was supposed to be nearby but not being able to find it we decided to go to the pub and were glad we had. Helpful staff and warm welcome.

Stopped here for lunch whilst away on canal boat holiday. Food was to a very high standard and the staff were very helpful highly recommend.

First time weve "used" this food delivery service from here and have to say it was excellent!! The food was lovely, tasty and hot. There was huge portions too. A bit more expensive than usual, but well worth it.

Ordered the cheese and gammon cottage bun with salad and coleslaw. When it came out it the smallest, cheapest nastiest little burger bun I’ve ever seen. We had to ask for the coleslaw. Some of our party ordered soup that was also supposed to come with a cottage bun, but also came with the nasty little burger bun. When we complained we were told they could no longer get cottage buns. If this the case why was it still on the menu? Why weren’t we told when ordering?There were 8 of us all unhappy with what we got. Do not order a cottage bun. It used to be nice I will never eat there again, I feel ripped off, never had such a horrible sandwich.

We booked a family meal at the Gardeners Arms and arrived for our early booking of 6.15 pm on time. We all received a warm welcome from the staff and were asked to order our drinks in the public bar area because our table wasn't ready. We were eventually seated in the restaurant area and decided to order only main courses, which all arrived about 45 minutes later. I had the Worcester steak pie with all the trimmings, which was served hot and of good quality . We all decided to have desserts and again these course arrived after a lengthy delay.

Saw reviews so thought worth a visit. Pub is quirky as other reviews state, some will like it others won't but I thought it had a nice feel. Bar staff were very good and helpful but were busy as they also help out in the restaurant. Menu was quite extensive, maybe a little too large to be of good quality and unfortunately this was the case. We had pies which was their speciality, rich succulent, tasty was promised but didn't quite live up to the billing. Mine was dry, little chewy and quite dry, pastry was tough more than crispy. Chips were ok but again veg was a little underdone. All in all it was not a good meal. Think they need to reduce menu and pay more attention to the detail, pies at £12-£13 are not cheap and compared to the King Charles in Worcester are far inferior.

Three generations of our family went for a midweek pre Christmas get together and a wonderful experience was had.

We dropped in by chance, there was live music and v welcoming staff and regulars. A small but very traditional local.. No frills but great value and a fun place

Pleasantly surprised, good menu with plenty of choice to suit all pallets, I had the lamb shank with a horseradish mash huge portions and the lamb fell off the bone and melted in the mouth, the staff were attentative and friendly, will definitely return

Nine of us had lunch at the Gardeners Arms following a five and a half mile walk.

What a wonderful pub well worth a visit the staff very friendly and the food ,well I only have one complaint, there was too much lol

Friendly service, quiet relaxing atmosphere and top notch food. The vegetarian nutroast was excellent and even extra gravy supplied without asking :) Thoroughly recommend!

This is our friends local. The food was good. Large portions. Good service. A good variety of decent bar/restaurant food. We would go again!

The size and layout of the Gardeners Arms suggests that it attracts large groups of people, but when my wife and I went there for lunch last week, the number of visitors was very small. We found the entrance to be unduly narrow and everywhere somewhat cluttered, so that we had to be careful not to bump or trip. Others may like the décor, which is of a unique style. One of its features is the way it advertises variety in everything and anything. So it was that my wife ended up not with ‘cider’ but with rhubarb-flavoured cider!

Amazing food at gardeners arms with the new chef our meals were really nice and recommend anyone to have a meal in the restaurant

Super friendly staff. Quaint pub , excellent food service was brilliant and a lovely atmosphere, who ever trained the staff give them five stars. Thanks guys excellent lunch

I have rated this pub as average, we visit this pub a lot especially when the weather is nice with friends, unfortunately glasses tend to have bits in them that then float when a drink is poured in them? a couple we have had with mould in and even saw them coming out to the bar and you could spot bits stuck in the clean ones! Please check and double check these before serving them to a customer or rinse them under the tap after they have been in the dishwasher, it’s kinda gross to have bits floating in your drink and you don’t know what they are, I’m sure the pipes for the drinks are clean so maybe a dishwasher issue?. The toilets are clean but the carpet or the hallway to the toilets always stinks of pee! Over the years we have been here it’s never smelt nice. Which is such a let down as the pub food has got to be the best in town by far! Especially the pizza! I highly recommend to try it you won’t find another like it around this area! Also the kids area could do with a refurb, the flooring dips in places and the sofa at the bottom isn’t hygienic and belongs in the tip! I don’t understand why this stayed when you improved the place? It will be infested with bugs and then kids sit on it and get bitten? Personally I don’t think it’s appropriate for a kids area and a bit of a health hazard. It’s a shame that there is no longer a view to vines! On lovely summer days you used to be able to watch the sun go down and now all you see is gazebos, although this is good for hot days and weddings/parties but high quality umbrellas and benches would look much better. Other than that staff are always friendly and cleaning tables, as I said a few tweaks this would easily be the best pub in droitwich. Until then, we can only hope the advice is taken on board. Please please make it better all these factors come in to play when we decide where to go depending on who we are with and what we are doing. It has improved vastly over the past few years but not far to go and it will easily be top pub in droitwich!!

Went out for a meal with hubby . Food was served in a lovely little side restaurant room which was very quaint with matching tablecloth and serviettes. This was a lovely touch. The outside area was very charming with an outside bar and chairs and patio tables. A very welcoming pub with lovely staff.The meal was an unusual roast with chunks of vegetables in a type of gravy, underneath a pile of mea, topped off with a dumpling.. Chips and mash as a side dish also. Would highly recommend for a lovely evening out

We are on holiday in the area and decided to try this pub for our dinner. A warm welcome for us and our dog was given and we were directed to a covered garden room. Drinks ordered, I had a quick look round - this pub garden just goes on and on.

Very friendly and welcoming staff at this lovely canal side pub. Good range of beers and excellent food, their pies are top notch. Very reasonable prices and dog friendly.

Relaxed and spacious outdoors, with excellent play area for kids, and indoors an atmospheric, olde worlde dining room. Charming staff and first class food that really would grace a top London hotel. I eat out a lot all over the UK; the variety and quality of these (very reasonably priced) dishes make this place a stand-out.

We had read some reviews of this restaurant and it came highly recommended by a Facebook group so we were intrigued to see if it lived up to the praise. We were not disappointed. The Vegan pate was incredible and the mushroom risotto was delicious. Not only was the food good, but the ambience was nice and staff were very friendly. Will definitely return another day.

Went for meal with family food was great and staff where friendly and helpful very pleased and will be going back soon.

A great place to take children of all ages to eat , there is loads of choice on menu so covers most tastes , great service, friendly staff , happy to recommend.

The actual service can't be faulted, waitress was lovely but rushed off her feet. Making the Gardner's arms part of our first night out in Droitwich was a mistake. Took 2.5 hours get from ordering to paying for a 2 course meal. We missed the live music at the next pub which pretty much ruined the evening. Shame as the food wasn't terrible when it arrived, though I wouldn't recommend the tomato bacon starter, it was just a white roll with cheddar and chopped bacon :(

We visited earlier this week with friends as we had a groupon voucher for pie & a pint/glass of wine. Having ordered our drinks and being told all the pies the chef/ possibly manager returned to say drinks were not included in our voucher. We replied they were and he then returned with our voucher still saying they weren’t included but we were able to show that they were. Reluctantly he agreed and we had a token apology.

Booked for a walking group Everyone so helpful and accommodating. Team leader Jade and her team worked tirelessly to ensure all ran smoothly and accommodating Everyone enjoyed their meals Definitely recommend

We have visited 3 weeks running as we are moving to area and what a gem! Fabulous friendly staff and delicious food A must if you visit Droitwich

Great pub great food, such a quirky hidden gem. Thanks to Jade for making us welcome and spoiling us on our 45th wedding anniversary, proper grafter.

We were welcomed as if we were locals

We have been here twice, the first time food was lovely, service was swift and we had a great evening. However after returning for my birthday we were faced with:
