Hopwood House Inn in Bromsgrove

I think the meal is pretty expensive for the lack of portion size you get spent £53 to be still hungry the curry was luke warm.

Lovely pub inside & out, friendly welcome, fabulous waitress, lovely food, nice bar/lounge area.

Sharon and staff very friendly. Good food.

Very helpful and caring staff, was asked 2 or 3 times if we were satisfied with the meal, lovely ambiance, clean and tasteful furnishings. A very nice experience.

Service was perfect, the food especially the roast beef was cooked to perfection. Lovely staff as we had the pleasure of having two waitresses who were attentive, kind, quick and efficient. Will be visiting again.

Enjoyable, nice food, pleasant atmosphere

Lovely meal and friendly staff , very enjoyable afternoon

Always great. Staff very welcoming, and food is top notch, as always. Me and my partner love it.

My go to place for a lovely lunch date with friends. Alway's excellent service & friendly staff. Highly recommend for any occasion.

Amazing especially the service we had from Claire - she made us feel so welcome and couldn’t do enough with the children we had dining with us - well done Claire

First class service and food highly recommended.

Despite the pub website saying dogs are allowed in the bar, they are not currently. The website is to be updated. Shame I drove from Oxford with my dog. Ate outside - the weather allowed!

Love going to this pub.great atmosphere and lovely food.good sized portions too.

The atmosphere was welcoming, the table was set perfectly and the hosts were attentive, polite and courteous. Above all, the food was sublime and beautifully presented.

Staff were friendly and quick to serve us. Prices were a bit expansive for drinks, seeing as this is a pub quite far from main areas. The large beer garden is a big draw to why we wanted to come here. We'll definitely return. Toilets were clean, but perhaps not checked often enough as both toilets in the mens were out of order at one point in the night.

Beautiful country pub good food and atmosphere prices good to

Food is highly recommended. The burgers especially. Staff were great too. - Thank you

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Karl served us and was polite and knowledgeable about the gluten free options available. We will be returning.

The service was very good by our waitress, Shaz, and the food was lovely as usual. We often turn up without booking but they always manage to fit us in.

The food here was the worst I have ever had. It was absolutely disgusting. The quality of the food, the cook on the food. We both left feeling quite ill and that has only just lifted, 2 days later. However, the service of the wait staff was lovely. Both ladies who came to our table were polite and attentive. They deserve to work somewhere where the food matches their service. For anyone finding my review incoherent I think it's quite clear, the service was good, the food was foul.

Eating at Hopwood House is a delight. The staff are all super lovely and friendly and the food is absolutely delicious- it's fresh and flavourful and very good value for money. Hopwood House is a real asset to the local area.

Lovely pub. Food was ok, typical pub grub, not that special. Service was excellent and had a nice vibe to the point with all walks of life there.

Our host Sheri was absolutely fabulous, very friendly and very professional. Every food and drink order was delivered swiftly and without fault, everyone was extremely happy with the service.

Really lovely Sunday lunch, would highly recommend. Served by Sharon who was lovely and very accommodating. Thank you!

We visit Th Hopwood several times a year with various friends and always enjoy the food, service and atmosphere.

As always, spotlessly clean bright and vibrant. Great friendly staff who are attentive and very professional. I have never had a bad meal in this pub

Lovely food, 30min wait to order food. Amy was excellent very professional and lovely personality

Extremely rude miserable staff ,over priced not a good atmosphere any more

Good food, efficient service and friendly staff. We had a very good time.

Decided to do the lunch set menu - partly because of Valentine’s Day but just because we already had Theatre planned for the evening. The menu choices were good and we both enjoyed our 3 courses. Decent portion sizes. Staff were friendly and welcoming and service was good too. Would definitely try coming at this time again.

Staff very polite. Food delicious. Staff very attentive.

Great atmosphere with quiet dining

Very busy but waitress was helpful and polite even though you could see they only had 2 waiting staff in a full restaurant

Food was 5* Waitress was amazing, recommended dishes and advised on wine Clean and tidy restaurant with a lovely ambiance

Lovely service , great venue, friendly atmosphere, highly recommend. ThankU Amy.

We have a daughter that has a dairy intolerance, so we made this clear when asked by the server and were directed to the website to be able to filter the food to ones safe for a dairy intolerance. This left one single meal that was dairy free. Firstly this is poor that there is only one option available. Upon ordering the server returned a few minutes later to tell us that one of their fryers wasn't working, so would it be ok to cook her food on the grill that they cook the haloumi on! Obviously this is not acceptable to cook the food for someone with a dairy intolerance on a grill that is used to cook cheese! They said that they could figure something else out and nothing more was said. She also had some garlic bread, which was listed on the menu as vegetarian and vegan, although she literally only had a nibble of this as the first one came out burnt to a crisp and the second one came out like it had been dipped in oil. Fast forward to later on that night and my daughter was very ill and was sick everywhere having eaten this food. This reaction was 100% caused by there being dairy in the food she ate, or from the food being in contact with dairy at some point in the kitchen. This is complete negligence from the restaurant to allow this to happen and could have resulted in a much more damaging outcome. I feel like your cooks and servers need to be immediately stood down and trained on food safety regarding allergens before someone gets seriously harmed.

Use the restaurant a lot food always good and the one lady waitress is amazing, in fact she keeps the place running, we eat there last week and table service was ( I’m assuming because the amazing waitress was not there) , was diabolical, we waited for food and drink a very long time, the manager did joke with us saying we were on the forgotten about table, how true we were forgotten and was having to go use the bar to get more drinks, we were wanting to order pudding and coffee but sat so long we decided against it, when we was ready to leave a good while after eating the plates was still on the table waiting to be cleared, at this point we made the decision to pay and leave, I brought up our disappointment with the manager, who was not very apologetic it was delivered in a very half hearted manner, he then said he would give us 30 per cent of the price of the bill, already having the 30per cent code to use he was not given us anything. Sad as I enjoy this restaurant but sadly due to the managers rude and poor manners and total lack of customer care I will be looking at other options.

Warm and welcoming..beautiful food ..we had the Xmas menu ..very relaxing festive meal thankyou

Our server Aidan was great. They had lots of patience with our group and was very polite and well mannered.

The food is awesome. Very tasty. Ordered Stickey chicken - the smell is fantastic and taste is very good, hunters Chicken - very good taste, fries are very good, chicken tikka masala is also very tasty. Overall it's very tasty food.

Never again..... paid extra for the trio of meets and got less than my partner who had the cheaper version, also no roast potatoes ... just an apology. Pint of Ale £6.75 ..... amount of food poor ... actually went to the chip shop on my way home.

Myself and four friends from work had a warm welcome as per usual and the friendly service was continued throughout with the Landlady looking after us as we ordered each time plus all the female staff who served us as well. The food was excellent as always with myself having the Chicken and Mushroom Pie followed by the Cheesecake with Cherries of which were both delicious. My friends had a variety of things from the menu also of which like myself were all very impressed with how well presented and delicious everything they had was. We finished off the evening with most of us having Hot Chocolates before we retreated to the Bar for some Soft Drinks to finish off what was a perfect after work get together. We will look forward to seeing you all again soon. Kind regards, David Hough. Shirley, Solihull, West Midlands. Date of visit - 31/1/2025

We celebrated a family birthday on Friday evening, and sharon was fantastic! Attentive, friendly & organised. The food was absolutely gorgeous. We were a party of 10 and all the meals came out piping hot and together. Would highly recommend. We will be returning.

I'm alway's happy with the service & food here. We recently visited for a friend's birthday lunch & our waitress Claire was so lovely. I would highly recommend.

Had a lovely family meal, plenty of people in for the quiz too

Lunch menu not available at 1pm on a Saturday. We almost left without having food. Service was slow despite being very quiet. Food very average. Won’t be going back any time soon.

Lovely meal and great service. Real nice place to eat and meet up with friends 🧡

Very great food and service thanks to the staff 5*+

Food was amazing and great service from Claire who was new. Will definitely be coming back again soon. :)

5 stars was served by Claire today and what a super service we received so polite and nothing was to much for her thank you we will be returning

Took absolute ages for our drinks to come out. About 20 minutes. Seemed to be short staffed. So service could have been better. I ordered dessert at the bar as didn't want to wait another 20 minutes. Food was nice but nothing special. Big car park. Lovely style building. Staff were friendly. Good location.

This. Is a excellent place all round

had a lovely meal the service was 1st class. lovely menu.

Lovely service attentive and prompt. Sat down drinks ordered meals ordered within 10 mins or so. Starters arrived quickly and were lovely and nice quality. They were cleared and Mains arrived shortly after. My husband said his steak was cooked to perfection and her thoroughly enjoyed it. Mine was huge chicken burger and was delicious. My daughter cleared her plate and she’s a fussy eater.

Keep up the Excellent Service 👏 👍

We always have a wonderful time at Hopwwod House. The staff are always friendly and attentive. Tia was our server today and she was fab. Food is always delicious, we love the menu. It's a firm favourite in our family

Had a nightmare last Sunday! Service appalling sat at table 20 mins before approached just to be told no roasts left at all at 5 pm !!!!

Always good food and friendly service here. That’s why we come back time after time

Went on new years day had a lovley lunch in a very pleasant atmosphere with attentive service overall a great experience

We were a large family party and we were well catered for.

Great place for family meal, service and food in my opinion best around.

The Hopwood was always my favourite place for a meal. We used to live opposite the Hopwood but had to move out of the area. I try to come back as often as I can and I was really looking forward to visiting on Sunday. We were going to tell our daughters that we are going to get married and was hoping for our usual amazing meal to do it over. But on arrival we were told that the frier had broken so there was no fish, there were no steaks so could not have that either, hence no mixed grill which is always a family favourite and the there was no beef for the beef diner. On top of that there was no cauliflower cheese even if we were to go for the chicken or pork Sunday lunch. Unfortunately we left as there was a limited choice and to honest ruined our special night of telling our daughters we are going to be married.

We went for Sunday dinner from the moment we walked in our needs were mer with a can do attitude. All the staff members were attentive and nothing was too much trouble. They greeted us with politeness and a smile. The food was outstanding presentation, taste and deliverance was exceptional. It was the best Sunday dinner out we have had in a long time.

We use the hopwood a lot my mom and her 84 year old best friend always really enjoy it, the regular staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. Good value food too

Stopped off on a long journey as we were not keen on the nearby service station!! What a lovely find! The food was delicious, service was excellent! Definitely a good decision as it provided a proper break and a great meal!

Service was good but had to return steak to the kitchen as it was rare/hardly heated through vs the medium ordered. Despite second attempt cooking it steak was still rare in middle. Others meals were good quality (and other steaks done correctly) so consistency in quality of food could be improved on.

Friendly attentive staff, great food, attractive venue. All made an enjoyable family birthday occasion. Nothing more needs to be said really!

Never got to go in as advertised hours wrong. Opens at 12.00 and not 11.30.

Lovely friendly atmosphere, great staff and excellent food. A very enjoyable evening

Been here a few times now. Always tasty pub food served by friendly staff even when busy.

Lovely food but men’s toilets were disappointing.

Came once before and was beautiful. This time terrible. Put on a tiny table in a really dull part of the restaurant so dull we struggled to read the menu. Didn't have the drinks we wanted and they was just standard drinks so was surprised I then ordered a extra sausage with my mixed grilled as I alway do ( and pay for ) only for the young lady to come back and tell me I had been refused an extra sausage. Food came out on the could side and my steak was rare not well done as I requested. Don't think we will return

As always a wonderful dining experience. The managers and waiting staff were so friendly, welcoming and attentive. The food was amazing and delicious and definitely well worth the cost. Plenty of room between tables so did not feel crowded and restaurant was very clean. We left feeling full and happy and will definitely be visiting again and rebooking for next year. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.

amazing staff made sure everything was good and were very polite and helpful 10/10 will return

Went 23rd of December, relatively busy, really nice food, they stand out as they don’t just do usual pub stuff. Had the chicken and chorizo skewer, really flavourful. Enjoyed the halloumi fries too

Had a great 3 course meal and a nice drink, love going to this place, definitely my favourite place to go. Amy was a wonderful waitress, the best…

The food was a real disappointment. My ribeye steak was tough and tasteless, and the chips were undercooked. My wife’s chicken pie was cold. The beer was very expensive, and frankly served in short measure! One bright spot was the service by Amy, who was bubbly, friendly and efficient.

Lovely Sunday roast, comfortable and warm seating, great service and reasonably priced. Very highly recommended

Friendly and helpful staff as always. Very kind to my friend who became ill during our visit (nothing to do with the food).

It is extremely difficult to get the attention of the staff when you want something. It's also very frustrating to not get at least an acknowledgment at the bar when waiting to order as they go about doing drinks for tables or other activities. They seem to actively avoid eye contact. They often just walk right by to get glasses or drinks. It would be nice if they just said 'Be with you shortly' or something like that. Just some kind of acknowledgement that you're not invisible. It is the only real criticism I have and it happens every time we go there. I have on occasion witnessed staff using the glass to get ice instead of the utensils provided. When service is provided, it's friendly enough and efficient. On the whole the food we have had has been very enjoyable however, the garlic bread is a huge miss. The one that came with the lasagne. Very poor. Just a roll with a few burnt bits crumbled on top. If garlic bread is advertised, please provide garlic bread.

Came with my wife and had the festive menu. Food was amazing as always and service was spot on. The team always do a fantastic job at the hopwood

Always brilliant service, very welcoming and excellent food. Staff are really friendly, nothing to much trouble

Very friendly staff. We were quickly shown to our table, plenty of choice on the menu and food was prompt, fresh and hot .We both very much enjoyed our dinner here and will be returning again.

The pub setting was beautiful, the staff were really friendly and welcoming. The food was tasty, well presented and there was a good variety of food and drink on offer. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Had the Christmas menu which was bang on. Really nice atmosphere and staff were really friendly. Would definitely come again.

I attended in December for a works Christmas Lunch booked for 20 people. When I initially booked the table, I contacted the pub and sent over a pre-order for each person which needed to be amended a few times and on each occasion the staff quickly confirmed receipt of the changes. On the day of the meal, we were seated in our own area and all courses were served quickly but not rushed. There was not a single error on any of the dishes served and the food itself was served hot and delicious. Honestly could not find any fault in the whole experience. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return!

We were a party of thirteen, food was lovely, piping hot. Waiting staff were friendly, efficient and attentive. This was our second Christmas meal with you. See you in December 2024 for a re-run.

I used to enjoy visiting this place many years ago, but I think it's lost its sparkle. Uninspiring menu, so I had scampi and chips. Cooked fine but difficult to get wrong. In my opinion this place is okay to have a drink in but if you want an interesting menu to choose from then don't go. Left feeling very disappointed.

It is a very welcoming pub, really friendly staff, prompt service and food was excellent. Would definately recommend.

The music that evening was definitely extremely loud to a stage couldn’t speak properly to anyone which is a shame

Found this place and wow what a surprise.Good food and great value.Has a lunch menu which was our option Starter of mushrooms appeared very quickly,makes of them!Piping hot really good.We both went for fish delicious. Very good value indeed.Food served quickly by staff Do go it's really good value

Great food and desert great atmosphere lots of drink to choose from hot or cold .

Busy, busy, busy! Obviously, a very popular pub! Staff were polite, service was quick and efficient, food was hot and good.. A place to eat if you're pushed for time perhaps, rather than a lingering visit..

Sat in bar area as we hadnt booked for restaurant. There was 4 Tables FULL of dirty plates and glasses .Asked a member of staff if someone could clear a table for us. Another member of staff crawled over at a snails pace about 5 minutes of waiting and took 2 plates off 1 of the tables .Glasses and cutlery left .Table not wiped or any of the orhers cleared .Ended up cleaning our selves. There were other people complaining too. Mentioned it to the person I originally spoke ,telling them how tables weren't cleared and had done it our selves and that we wasn't impressed with how dirty it all was. He was totally dismissive. The only plus side was the bar man who was efficient and pleasant. WONT !!! be going back in hurry NOT the first time disappointed 😕

Very helpful, served those that needed to leave early first, nothing seemed too much trouble. Friendly and efficient waitress ( Shaz)

food was lovely, atmosphere was cosy and comfortable

Shaz was delightful. Greeted us with a huge smile and was more than helpful through out the meal ..nothing was too much trouble for her. I had the Sea Bass which was heavenly Thankyou for a lovely lunch.

Lovely evening out. Staff were very professional the food delicious and the atmosphere cosy and xmassy.

Shaz was out host and was very friendly and efficient.

This is a wonderful place. The staff are always really friendly and the food is amazing...especially the leek and potato pie, highly recommend it 👌
