Old Bull Inn in Wychavon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food and service was amazing. Very hospital and friendly environment. Shell was very lovely and the place is dog friendly

Popped in for drinks and food and on this occasion no food was avaliable, no bother as we had a quick drink just to take in the atmosphere of the place as it was busy and very warm and rustic, open log burning fireplace which was very nice to see

We had a couple of hours to kill in Inkberrow over lunchtime and having been through there previously and seen this pub, really wanted to give it a try. Beautiful, traditional country pub interior, one of the nicest pubs I’ve ever been in. Great beers behind the bar and very friendly and helpful owners, were very informative about the pubs history and chatted away wonderfully. Billy the Boxer dog is so friendly and was most receptive to a bit of fuss and patting ! Food was home cooked and delicious - the steak and ale pie is highly recommended ! Wonderful pub, well worth a visit, I’m very taken with the place and will definitely be back….soon I hope !

Mishelle is an amazing host and her colleague both working very hard. The food is excellent. We were made to feel very special. An historic pub in a beautiful village. Their boxer dog Billy is gorgeous.

We visited this really traditional pub for a couple of pints and a bit of lunch. This was a return visit, our first being 3 years ago. Great beer , amazing food and very friendly service. We highly recommend people pop in for a drink, bite to eat and say hello to their beautiful friendly boxer dog Billy

Lovely pub. Food was excellent. Had the pork and bean stew and the steak and ale pie followed by bread and butter pudding and chocolate fudge cake both with Walls cornish ice cream. Choice of beers was excellent. Definitely one to go back to. Locals were very friendly.

A warm welcome, good service and lovely home cooked food which didn’t cost the earth, what’s not to like. We will definitely visit again when next in the area.

We visited the Old Bull Inn for lunch recently and were given a warm welcome. The team were very friendly. The menu is traditional pub grub. We had a steak Pue which was well filled and tasty but it had been microwaved so the pastry was soft and rubbery instead of crisp. The chips seemed homemade and again were tasty but cold. Prices are fair and this could have been a lovely meal had it been properly cooked. Such a shame.

Visited this pub a few years ago and enjoyed the experience. So decided to have a Wednesday lunch there today. This place is full of history with the grand fireplace lit the atmosphere was just how it may of been all those years ago. The menu is restricted to a couple of specials and the usual pub grub . I had the home made soup and a duck leg(locally shot) in red wine , both extremely tasty. The wife went for the steak and ale pie with those home made chips we all had as kids . Followed by apple pie and custard. It was refreshing to be served pub grub as it used to be at so many other pubs before the chains took over. Also very good value for money now that’s a bonus

What a great pub- they went above and beyond to accommodate a very large group. Friendly, charming place. Thank you very much!

Staying in village for a few days. Popped in last minute for a meal with the family. Really warm welcome and hearty and tasty home cooked food. Welcomed by the locals and invited to join in their weekly bar game. Excellent service from Sam amd Holly behind the bar.

Where do I start? Moved to Inkberrow with family in 2013 and believe it or not never went to two local Inkberrow pubs which is Bull's Head and this one. So we decided to go out first time ever in our local pub with our kids and our neighbours with theirs. We spent good amount of money on drinks there until certain point when owner(drunk by the way and being serving at the bar) went out very rude and grumpy and told our kids not to play next to white&red tape which was tightened from tree to a tree. When I asked why our children not allowed to play? He answered in very rude way that he doesn't have any more of that tape and don't want to be bothered doing it if kid's will accidentally rip it off. After that it was our last drink there and believe it or not nor me or my family will ever go there. This man need to sort his altitude towards customer's first and stop drinking while at work or it might make you a bit aggressive towards your clients!

Lovely friendly pub, plenty of outdoor seating. Menu is restricted to ensure little food is wasted due to COVID.. The menu is now in a basket’ don’t knock it the fish and chips are amazing plus many gluten free options. If your in the area pop in I’m sure you will be very welcome.

We enjoyed our lunch time basket meals of fish and chips, and scampi. Well cooked, good portions. The staff were friendly and welcoming, as was their boxer dog! Customers sitting inside and out were enjoying the food, and the quiet location. Highly recommended!

Attended with my wife while on holiday in the area, nice warm welcome and good service. Would go back when in the area.

I might be biased as I am a local but I give Old Bull 5 stars. Really friendly service, tables distanced, tasty home cooked fish and chips. Its a lovely pub and I like the inside as much as the outside, beams, flagstone floor, fireplaces and dog friendly. XXX to Billy the Boxer! Disappointed no puds at the moment!

First trip out to a pub since Lockdown so wasn't sure what to expect. Visited half a dozen times during our stay in Inkberrow and each time we were warmly greeted and served promptly. All tables were sanitised after use before next customers. Very clean and very organised.

I met up with a couple of old mates that I had not seen for some time for a lunch time drink and natter. Food was traditional basic but not lacking in quantity or basic quality. I’d certainly give it a go in the future.

An atmospheric pub with The Archers to back it. Food however is inedible! A good place to drink and sit in the sun in the summer.

Looks great on the outside but not so special inside, had a pint and went over the road which was more welcoming.

Gorgeous properly ancient pub - Shakespeare is said to have stayed the night here on his way to his wedding in Worcester ! A small but perfectly formed hostelry with buckets of ancient character. The service is warm and friendly and the food is all properly homemade and delicious ! We loved the fact this was obviously still very much a local's pub. No heirs or graces here - just a warm welcome and hearty home cooked fayre ! Loved it!

My wife and I went here for lunch today and we both thought it was a great place. The staff were friendly and efficient, the food was excellent, the service was second to none and they have a great selection of drinks.

A group of 20 of us turned up unannounced for lunch, all members of a major car club.The two people running the pub were fantastic, they served us with a smile, and after taking our orders, produced whatever we asked for from the menu.We have had much slower service and order mistakes from much bigger establishments.At The Old Bull, the inspiration for the pub in the Archers radio series, the service was excellent, everyone's food arrived correctly as ordered, hot and very tasty.Backed up by a comprehensive choice of drinks from the bar, served with a smile, our visit could not have been better.

Not fine dining, but good no-nonsense pub food, served by nice people. The village - Inkberrow - is very pretty and the Old Bull is at the heart of it, by the green. It's a really lovely, historic building - and said to be the original of The Bull pub in The Archers! Perfect on a summer evening.

A first visit does not inspire confidence. Cold, wet April day, and bloomin' cold upon entering, Fire hastily lit, but went out. 3rd attempt succeeded. Once circulation restored, ordered from bog standard menu - fish and chips, chicken pie, chicken korma. Pie had a content to pastry ratio of 1:10. came with lukewarm limp chips, could identify supermarket provenance for the korma, and recognise a complete lack of culinary imagination and ability in the kitchen. Workmen bustled past our table with lengths of timber, a few locals came in to watch TV, clutching their vapes, and although the bill for 4 came to £60, it cannot be said that this was a repeatable experience. A wee way down the road is a pub called The Flyford. Go there.

Good welcome and decent pint of beer A little tired but full of character Will call again and try the food

We have visited before just for a drink. However we visited on Sunday on our way to Stratford for some lunch. We did book but it wasn't necessary. Good home cooked food, very tasty and excellent value for money. Staff extremely pleasant and friendly, would definitely visit again. Not many people eating, they don't know what they are missing.

A cosy black and white thatched pub with an open fire to warm your toes. A lovely stop. The pub has just started serving food again after changing hands. We haven’t had chance to try it yet, but will definitely be visiting again soon.

Dropped in here just befor Xmas for lunch. Booked, but this wasn't necessary. Some regulars drinking, no one else eating. Had a couple of pies and a scampi. My daughter loved her scampi but chips a bit soggy. My husband didn't like his pie pastry nor soggy chips. My beef and ale pie was fine, but mash slightly lumpy. But at under £30 for the three of us, plus drinks, it was an ok pub lunch.

What a pleasure it was to be introduced to this unspoiled, proper little pub to which I know I'll return soon with my friends. The building itself has not been ruined like so many have. The local natives are friendly and the bar staff couldn't be nicer. Food is good and meets expectations of pub food. It's a bit real-ale'ish in character and a real old fashioned bitter on draft would have been a nice thing to top an overall gratifying visit. Don't visit without your dog.

Absolutely excellent. Bargain,should put it on your list. New chef . Two fish,one steak,one belly pork,one steak and ale pie. £60 including sparkling water! Good portions ,fresh cooked.

As per the title... good local pub depending on what your looking for. Reasonable list of beers / ciders.

I ate lunch here with a friend after visiting gardens nearby. There were about half a dozen cooked meals to choose from as well as sandwiches. The barmaid cum waitress cum IT advisor was running the whole show on her own and was polite and unflappable. The unseen chef cooked some great meals. It was a very relaxed atmosphere, no music, no TV.

Enjoyed a quick lunch in the Archers Bar and it was a very pleasant break en route. A very nicely preserved piece of Old England with a warm welcome and good beer. Exactly what one hopes to find but too rarely does.

my wife being an avid archers fan for many years decided that as we were in the

A very lovely pub plus it’s association with The Archers. Warm and friendly and a great pint of London Pride. The landlord certainly knows how to keep his beer. Much recommended

I visited on an "Archers Tour" coach trip we were expected and cups were laid out for teas and coffees. I had tea served from a big pot the cups were very tiny and the cost was two pounds, the tea was disgusting with a strange stale aftertaste it was undrinkable. The pub itself is a quaint old English pub and our refreshment break could have been an enjoyable experience.

We.went on a Thursday night just locals. O enjoyed the sizzling bbq beef. It was very good along with a family plater of new ptatoes. Carrots and peas. The beer was good. Friendly and welcoming. Lots of atmosphere. We had the rhubarb cumbles I thought it was okay my partner thought it was very good. The menu changes every night. Recommendation ask the server what is good that.night.

Just rang the Old Bull to ask to book a table for tomorrow evening, the lady asked me to wait a minute, I could hear she was serving which is fine. I waited on the phone for 10 minutes before she returned and just hung up... just moved to Inkberrow, not the first impression we had hoped for, just rang the Bulls Head and will spend my money there

Lovely old pub, friendly staff and good Sunday lunch it was quiet for a Sunday with mostly the locals think the Bull across the road attracts more customers even though this pub is associated with The Archers.It suited us fine as we were served quickly I would certainly go again but as it is a long way from us and our journey had a few hic cups would probably not make a special journey but if we were in the area would pay it another visit,Not sure how exstensive the menu is in the week but we were only given a carvery menu with a choice of five meats and a dessert for 12.95,

Popped into this beautiful little pub after the other nearby one was shall we say most unhelpful

A pub full of history had a few drinks but obviously not my type of watering hole but I can see why folk do like it I guess with the Archers thing going on the history was defiantly there with cobwebs to match ! Enjoyed our drinks didn’t see any food so carnt say anything I espically like the advacardo tiles in the toilets bought back memories of my nans house

Quaint, charming little pub full of character and history. Lovely exterior and interiors. Haven’t tried the food, but drinks are good, great atmosphere, warm and welcoming. One of my favourite pubs.

If you are looking for a country pub with charm to chat and to cosy-up to a warm fireplace this is the spot for you. The charm starts right from the time you arrive as the building has such a quant exterio and interior. Inside...

What a find! If you like cosy little country pubs with genuine character, try here. I’ve only had one pint and thought it was just a drinking venue, I was so pleased to be told by the very pleasant bar lady that they do food....

5 of us met up as it was half way between us. What a find . . . even the customers here are great and friendly! We had a warm welcome, were seated next to a roaring fire, had great food and drink and the...

Being life long fans of The Archers we were extremely excited when friends who live near to The Old Bull suggested we visited. My only reservation was that as it was a Saturday lunchtime, albeit in January, I imagined it would be heaving! Nothing could have been further from the truth.

This is definitely worth a visit. The cosy fires and warm atmosphere is lovely. Beautiful building with real history.

Stopped by for lunch recently. We only had snacks, but were impressed by the quality and quantity especially considering what we paid. We were part of a larger group and, unusually, no one found anything to complain about!

A traditional village pub, in Inkberrow, which was the model for the Radio soap "The Archers". Can get a bit full, as it is fairly small, but in good weather there is lots of outside overflow tables. Car park. Menu is fairly ordinary, and the cooking though adequate is nothing special.

First time ive been here. Popped in to meet a friend and looking for a meeting place on T.A. Nice village pub. Popular with locals, nice fire going and drinks were all good. Friendly staff. might return for food soon.

The menu was lacking in hearty grub you would expect from an old country pub .Food was bland and very over priced. Very disappointed over all .We really wouldn't recommend for a meal out maybe just a pint and a bag off crisps .

Stopped here for some drinks on a cycle ride. Fantastic setting , great welcoming and good service. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who's after pub food and drinks !

Fabulous 400 year old pub steeped in local historyFriendly staff with a great atmosphere...3 beers on tap - HPA, Doombar and London Pride, I tried all 3 <HPA best on the night>Do not miss the opportunity to visit this GREAT rural drinking establishment!!Highly recommendedEnjoy :-)

Yes, the home-made chips served with the steak and ale pie are worth travelling across the country for. Not haute cuisine, but truly excellent pub grub, just the right quantity, just perfect to compensate for the appalling weather outside.We have wanted to visit the Bull at Ambridge for donkeys years, and were quite impressed how its Archers links are quietly stated in framed pictures on one wall, and that's it.Can't give a better recommendation than to pay a visit, when there is so much pretention around these days. However, please turn off the unnecessary background music.

Called in on the way back from Malvern. Well kept beer, super food reasonably priced and lovely friendly staff. We will be returning.

Archers fans from London were truly disappointed with the visit. An awful pub with terrible food. Truly underwhelming and a place not to go to! AVOID.

called in while waiting to go into holiday accommodation, used to visit a lot in the late 80's and was really pleased to come back, service good even little Annie got some doggie treats, we went back in the evening for a meal with my relatives and they thoroughly enjoyed their meal and said the vegetables were cooked beautifully and a good selection. I went back the next day to book a table for 1 plus dog and had a steak it was very enjoyable cooked to perfection and good selection of vegetables. would recommend, was too full for pudding.

A great little find. Delicious roast beef and lovely staff. I asked if they did cheese (not in set menu) and they went out of their way to sort this for me. Very quaint and beautiful county pub.

Been to Worcester and were en-route back to Stratford and went through Inkberrow so dropped in for quick drink. Nice friendly staff, nice and quiet in the gardens. Will return at some point and maybe try food

Worth visiting just for the Archers connection but make sure you visit the pub down the side road and not the "pretender" on the main road.Outside seating interesting, choice of soft drinks very poor.

My friend's great grandfather was born at this pub, so we went for a meal for her 70th - excellent food, good service, the staff were so nice and caring could not have been more helpful, will most certainly be going back

Lovely food cooked fresh to order. Very reasonably priced for the quality which is superb. Beautiful old pub with lots of history. Worth a visit.

Visited here last night for the first time with a friend. We wanted somewhere half way between us. This pub was suggested to me. The greeting was welcoming, the menu although not extensive had good choices. The moussaka was really good. The dishes come with vegetables and fries served in dishes not on the plate. Food was hot which to me is perfect. I don't like lukewarm food. We'll presented. Good service. The dessert of apple pie and custard was one of the best I've had. I'd definitely go here again

Sunday lunch with my Husband , food was very enjoyable, well cooked big choice of veg gorgeous did not wait very long for food lovely and hot, fab pub welcoming staff, will defo visit again, very good value too.

Visited this pub for lunch with the kids and dog. A traditional rural English pub with good quality traditional food. A historic church is next door, which happened to have the bells ringing while we visited which was lovely as we were sat out in the beer garden. Dogs are welcome and the locals were happy to chat with you about the village and its' history. I would recommend getting there early for lunch as the interior is quite small so would fill up quickly.

It is just one of those places that, as soon as you walk in through the front door, you know you're in for a warm welcome, great beer and good food. This is the template for every 'English Country Pub'.

En mysig gammal pub som serverar mycket vällagad mat. Menyn är inte jättelång men dom rätter som finns är väldigt goda. Maten är riklig och kommer in på varma tallrikar.Vi var 4 i sällskapet, och vi tog in olika rätter, och alla var mycket nöjda. Fick vänta lite på maten, men det var det värt. Humana priser.Puben har bjälkar i taket och på en bjälke står det YCWCYASDTTBB. Det kan man fundera på när man sitter med en pint i handen.

Very traditional looking pub complete with timber frames and an open fire. We received a warm welcome too. Regretfully though the cleanliness is an issue, the salt & pepper pots were grubby to look at and greasy to the touch, our vinegar pot came with two floating flies. Our sandwiches were nice but the chips that we ordered had a taste of old fat. The toilets are also in need of updating too. Sad to say we left feeling a little disappointed.

I have used this pub from time to time when passing. It is perfect for a pint of real ale and a meal. I love the home made chips and would make the trip for these alone but all of the food is tasty.It is a place frequented by the locals but you are assured of a warm welcome. I am impressed at the effort made to ensure that the beer is well kept. I love Wye Valley HPA which they tend to have on frequently.Don't forget that this pub is supposed to be 'The Bull' of BBC Radio 4 Archers Fame, there are many (slightly out dated) photos on the walls to look at....

On opening the door of the old timber-framed pub we received a warm welcome, both from the open fire burning in the stone fireplace and also from the landlady. We sat comfortably by a large wooden table next to the fire to eat our delicious home cooked food. The menu wasn't extensive, but it all sounded good and was all freshly cooked to order. The beer was well kept, the service excellent, and in all we had a very enjoyable lunch.

Lovely warm welcome, efficient and friendly service, friendly locals and dogs, and a lovely meal to boot. Very picturesque pub, like a proper pub should be. I had duck. Very tasty, well cooked. Veg a tad boring, but well cooked

We ended up here for a pint and having read about it we had to see this old Tudor style building, it looks like it's about to burst! Very small and cosy with an open fire, unfortunately (seemingly) all tables were reserved and I would have liked someone to ask if we wanted to eat and when we could have done so, their loss..Well worth a visit for the experience, can't say anything about the food but the drinks were well priced compared to London!Would recommend to book table well in advance. Deffo worth a visit!

We walked a couple of miles to the spiritual home of the Archers, or their local pub more correctly. A splendid timber framed mediaeval building oozing history. Proper bar inside, blazing fire, very friendly welcome including lots of strokes for our dog. Well kept beer, really nice home cooked food: I had chicken, pheasant and bacon pie which was perfect for a damp November day. This isn't a restaurant or a pretentious "gastro pub" - it's a proper fine old place with tasty no nonsense food where drinkers are equally welcome. And dogs.

My husband and I had lunch at the Old Bull while in the area, because it is renowned as the inspiration for the Bull in Ambridge of Archers fame. It is a very quaint ancient building and we were made welcome. The menu is typical pub grub - tasty as long as you aren't trying to diet!

Popped in to The Old Bull on 18th October for an impromptu lunch with our dog Bertie. We were given a warm welcome including our dog. The menu was limited, but don't let that put you off. We had a fabulous steak and ale pie with plenty of vegetables, and jolly nice it was too!

Stopped here randomly enroute to mid-Wales. Very quaint old building, quite small and cozy inside but packed on a Friday lunchtime in October which was very encouraging. Friendly staff, good pint and dogs welcome. Would have stayed for food aswell but we needed to get to our destination. Will definitely give the place more time next time we pass through. Archers fans will also love the connection with the pub (see other reviews for explanation).One other point - there is a frankly bizarre review headed "popped in for a tipple" about 3 weeks ago. I cannot work out (a) how this got past the editors and (b) whether or not it is a mick take. Sufffice to say readers should not be put off by this other review and no I did not see the cultrit at the bar!

I popped down to 'the archers pub' for a tipple and was delighted with the entire experience. The bar staff were a delight, almost like a cool fresh shower on hot summers day. Witty and polite, humorous and likable without any notion of unkind feelings at all. I have no friends. I visit pubs alone because of this and was still made to feel welcomed. Even after I apologised for peeing on floor I was still treated with the upmost respect Inspite of being in soiled trousers. As you can imagine I was immensely embarrassed by the whole saga but feel comfortable enough to return in the future. I'll bring my own mop next time and a spare pair of pants to prevent chaffing.

I went here with a party of friends for lunch on the way to a garden visit and we all had a great time. As there was quite a few of us we had booked first.The pub, the welcome and the food were excellent and everyone went away really happy, so much so we hope to return soon.

Called in on our way back from Stratford and learned that this pub is where The Archers originated small friendly pub

Came across this pub after doing some house hunting.What a gem , everything tasty and hot.Lovely friendly atmosphere , well worth a visit

Popped in here for a drink with a group of about a dozen friends after a long walk. The barmaid seemed to be very put out that we had walked in to the pub at all and obviously didn't appreciate being interrupted from the conversation she was having with a customer/boyfriend? She also served short measures of beer with a head of froth about 6cm high. When asked to top it up I was given a filthy look. We will take our business elsewhere next time.

We stopped off at old bull to ask directions to a company and decided to stop for refreshments, the lady behind the bar so nice we asked about lunch, there was a specials board but she was happy to offer other snacks', toasted sandwich or Baggett, nice food and pleasant surrounding's.

The pub was very nice and friendly. Please update or remove the wall board on the Archers, as some of the characters have left, died, or just grown older! A bit lazy on this. However, it is obviously part of the Inkberrow community and has great ideas like a local Asparagus night at the height of the fabulous local produce.

My dog was warmly welcomed and was spoilt with biscuits!! We were also welcomed very pleasant experience

Booked a table of 10 for my Mother's birthday. Great welcome, good beer, tasty food and excellent service. Even gave mum flowers for her birthday. Highly recommend!

This is an attractive, historic pub which is pretty much unspoilt and origional. There is pleasant atmosphere and the staff were very pleasant. The big problem was with the food which took almost an hour to be served, was very average quality and higher priced than most pubs locally would charge.

Came in for an after walk beer. Good choice of ales. Lots of history graced the walls which added to the atmosphere. I'd like to return another day to try their fayre.

Really oldy worldy type pub ..nice open fires Really looks like something out of a old country magazine Extremely friendly helping with directions and having a chat ..Didt serve food at the time we went in But deff worth a visit

Lovely home cooked meals, my young son came along and had a great kids meal which he really enjoyed, the adult meals were outstanding, all appeared to be home made and home cooked and tasted great. For what you get it is excellent value !

Visited last week with my parents and little boy and enjoyed a lovely home cooked meal. The ham egg n chips was spot on and the service a delight. My little boy loved the special ice cream made for him.Thanks for the personal serviceDan.

If your looking for a typical English pub (not a restaurant)with tremendous home cooked food and a friendly ambience try the Old Bull. If you want a quiet meal try somewhere else, the food is served in the bar with the locals, it is just fantastic. There were six of us and we all had different meals, each plate was completely cleared at the end and Mike (the owner chef) came out to see if we had enjoyed it. Worth making a special trip.

Being local, newish to the area and a lifelong dedicated Archerholic, sunday lunch here was a Must Do. The staff were very friendly but rushed off their feet. It was a beautifully sunny day and obviously everyone had the same idea as me and I think it caught them on the hop. By the time I could eat the best cuts of the meats had gone and I had an average meal. My fault for not arriving earlier and I suspect that I am under-starring, but I must rate this venue as it was at the time.

For those of you not in the know (and there can't be that many!) The Old Bull is the inspiration for "The Bull" in The Archers, and what an interesting little place it is. The interior is full of charm, an open fire with seating, and wood beams with horse brasses. There is a wattle and daub panel on show in the main pub area, juxtaposed with Archers memoribillia. I can't comment on the food, because we were only there for drinks, the real ale on offer was in excellent condition. If we are in this area again, we will certainly pop in for a swift half.

Highly recommend this old pub to you. Food was good and not expensive. Beer excellent and staff friendly

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. Just missed the hot food, but they were very accommodating and sorted us with sandwiches.A small display about the Archers, but get the impression they tire of the Archers connection.Still worth a visit. If you go, make sure to ask what the sign above the bar means :)

A beautiful, quaint English village pub in picturesque surroundings. My young daughters got a real thrill from visiting as they are not allowed in bars in our homeland Canada. However, the 'locals' were not the friendliest, downright rude in some cases. Not the way to attract tourist dollars. The Bulls Head Inn just 100 yards up the road is not as quaint but quite the opposite in terms of friendliness......
