Red Lion Inn Powick in Malvern Hills

Checking out what would be local during the week with my son. Fabulous reception by owner, great pub for a drink! Actually quite refreshing to have a pub that just sells drinks too for a change! All the customers were in good spirits, hopefully will be my local, just have to keep fingers crossed!

Great pub Cool staff Cute new dogs Drinks were great But the most important thing is we were really really well looked after! Thankyou (sorry for being a bit wobbly at the end of the night)

Really disappointed as web page says food is served ,but this was not the case ,service of drinks not forthcoming really not interested in new comers . So really not worth a call or stop for a friendly drink .

A pub of the people! A friendly pub with amazing atmosphere, lovely locals and delicious drinks! Every sporting event under the sun shown on big screens, a stunning outdoor terrace area for topping up the tan and cool refreshments - truly heaven on earth! If they don't have something on when you visit then they're planning the next exciting evening - meat raffles, karaoke and quizzes - you name it they've got it. The wonderful staff know exactly what they're doing! Would recommend again, again, again and again!

The Red Lion is a rarity in today's world, a traditional pub where even as a stranger you are welcomed with open arms by the staff and the regulars. There is plenty on offer, from quiz nights, sport, dartboard and pool table. if you just want to enjoy a quiet drink then there's nothing nicer than relaxing in front of a roaring fire and the best thing of all is that it is dog friendly. Highly recommend this to all. I enjoyed my visit so much I now work there. I took my husband there last Sunday for lunch, the roast dinner is exceptional.

Needed to kill time till our B & B was open this was a great choice, very friendly pub just a shame they didn't do food on a Friday. We have eaten Sunday dinner before here and the food was excellent so a packet of Pork crunch had to make do.

We enjoyed a really nice Sumday lunch here today which was very good value. The beef was excellent and very tender. Six vegetables were served along with boiled and roast potatoes and parsnips. The portions are huge and we couldn't finish all the vegetables. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Would return

Have visited The Red Lion a couple of times now. Great staff and fantastic food every time. Highly recommended

Second visit for a Sunday Lunch, first time was unexpected and very good, second time was also truly excellent. Alan knows how to cook a cracking roast. Totally recommend a visit, but best to book on a Sunday.

Although I live locally I have never taken a meal at the Red Lion under the present owners until last Sunday.What a treat I've been missing. Myself and my extended family visited for Sunday lunch. What can I say "Simply superb." Lashings of lovely food, beautifully cooked and served by two happy, smiling people Deb and Fran. I shall have to make my Sunday visits more frequent. Sorry to say that food is only served on Saturday evenings and Sunday lunchtimes. I cannot recommend the Red Lion more highly. If one wants a good well cooked meal in pleasant surroundings give this place a try!!

We visited on a whim after walking out of another place because they were so busy and unable to cope- and we are so glad we did! Very warm and friendly welcome as soon as we entered. Good choice on the menus with all of the pub classics and very reasonably priced. The food we ordered was very tasty. The service was superb throughout. We had our baby with us and the staff were so good with him . Excellent value. we had 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 drinks for £35. We look forward to returning!

Haven't been in the Red Lion for a long time. As it is very local for my family decided to meet for an early meal. Having been told that there was an excellent early menu , we decided to check it out. A very warm and welcoming atmosphere , the food was excellent and nothing was to much trouble. Very friendly and quiet busy for an early evening so a-pleasant time was had by all of us. I also would like to say how extremely clean the ladies toilets are. Obviously this is now the place to go for a pleasant night. Thank you to Debbie Fran, and team . We will be back. Collins family

Had a brilliant meal tonite. Lively food and great service. New chef and would highly recommend. Easy parking and on local bus route.

We went to the Red lion At powick the first time was Mothers day the service was very good and the staff was commandating and friendly nothing was to much the meal was a roast that was also good but we went for a steak not so good it was rump the pub is small nice atmosphere and full of history from the battle of Worcester its up to you if its just a drink in a small friendly pub then call in

Visited on a Sunday lunchtime when a small menu of meal options were available, all for £9.95 for main course and dessert. Excellent value and very large servings. Undercharged us and refused to charge us the extra when we pointed it out as we had been honest! Roast dinners came with roast potatoes, parsnips and peas, only to be followed a minute later by a large platter of extra choices of vegetables and boiled potatoes plus a bowl of cauliflower cheese. Couldn't manage to finish it all Highly recommended.

Visitamos con nuestros amigos, por primera vez, tienen su oferta de 2 filetes por £14. 99. Nos sentamos en una mesa en la sala de vuelta, que por desgracia estaba carente de cualquier ambiente, y era iluminada. pooly El propietario y el personal es muy amable y tomó nuestra orden de la mesa. Todos tuvimos cadera filetes. Por desgracia eran las carnes duras, aparte de uno que estaba bien.

Así nos desvíen de la ruta principal y de alguna manera gracias a nuestro GPS terminó aquí. El domingo por la tarde después de la Iglesia de domingo por la mañana y para colgar un asado los domingos. Nos sentamos cerca de la cocina, así que algunos de nuestro entretenimiento estaba escuchando lo que pasaba en la cocina. Después de un rato comencé a caminar alrededor y leer el contenido histórico en las paredes. Así, el asado fue genial. Incluso hizo cambios en los requisitos dietéticos de mi esposa. La única cuestión que aprender de es que no diary/platos sin gluten en el desierto. Aparte de eso, otro win

Llevamos a nuestra madre y padre a la Red Lion en Powick en sábado a una cena para celebrar nuestro aniversario de diamantes y los papás madre. Todos nos lo pasamos de maravilla y en el principal la comida era realmente buena, con la excepción de los peces que era un poco pequeña y no era un pescado fresco, inusual que en otros restaurantes, probablemente de un supermercado. congelados Este es el único pub que he estado que no venden una oscura amargo! ! Aún así vale la pena una visita.

Todo mejora mucho en el Red Lion sólo últimamente. han mejorado su menú durante las últimas semanas. Y en particular nos gustó el servicio personal. Las que no he experimentado en Inglaterra todavía. Un hombre joven mantuvo su ojo en cosas y estaba en la mano para llevar bebidas frescas a nuestra mesa cuando les es necesario. No desagradables paseos a la barra para mí. . ! ! Días felices. .

Tuvimos una cena maravillosa que fue a último momento el viernes por la noche. No importa complaciente el 4 de nosotros a las 9:00 p.m. y luego tuvimos el 2 comidas carnes para 14. 99, era precioso. Tenía una gran noche es una visita obligada. Un magnífico local tradicional pub inglés. Bien hecho sigan el buen trabajo.

Visitamos los sábados por la tarde para un almuerzo tardío en un grupo grande y el personal no podría haber sido más servicial o complaciente!! La comida era abundante, todo fresco y estaba delicioso. Muy buena relación calidad-precio.

It was a last minute decision to find a pub for Sunday lunch and decided upon this place. If you don't mind the wait, bearing in mind it's freshly cooked, you won't be disappointed. A huge plate arrived filled with seasonal veg and the beef was so tender it fell apart. The waitress returned with an extra hug of gravy and another bowl of vegetables. I think we've found our new favourite place to eat. Loved it.

Very friendly place , pleasant staff, good choice of home made food . Quaint , busy , quick service . Would come back again highly recommend to any one visiting area on holiday to pay them a visit .

We called in to the Red Lion on our way back home from watching the cricket at Worcester one Friday evening recently, the staff were all pleasant and friendly and having not been in here to eat for some time, we decided to give the food a try. I chose from the specials board and had a beef on the bone dish and my wife chose a jacket potato with tuna. My wife said hers was ok, mine was a little disappointing in that I would have expected the meat o fall apart and melt in your mouth, but unfortunately it was somewhat on the tough side which was a shame. Perhaps we will go back sometime and try the steaks and see what they are like.

the log fire and friendly staff make this venue a must for those who crave the old fashioned "English hospitality and atmosphere"

Called in for Sunday lunch wow what a great service excellent food at a very good price would highly reccomend to every one

Visited last night for the first time and wow the steaks were amazing and cooked to perfection. Everything else on the plate was also delicious and had obviously been freshly cooked. Good value for money and good choice of ales / cider.

We were glamping a mile away and wanted a good old traditional Sunday lunch. There were 20 adults and 20 children and they did us proud! We couldn't have asked for anything more. We pre ordered via email and everything was perfect to the order. We all went away feeling very warm and stuffed, and it was so reasonable too. Thanks again Debbie and family. Will defo return if we in the area again.

We were staying at the local B and B which we can also highly recommend The atmosphere was very inviting the real ales and ciders well represented and the food was excellent Many comment on the quality of the chips and we totally agree suuperbbb.

Popped in for a drink in the sunshine and decided to order from their 2 courses for just under £10. The food was fantastic and really generous portions. Best chips I have ever eaten! Staff all friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for good priced top quality food.

Just called in for a quick meal. Both of our meals were really good. Even the small salad on side of plate had a good dressing. Pub food, but nicely presented. The chips are ace. Freindly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely go back.

Really lovely pub, welcoming friendly staff. Cosy setting. Food is fantastic. Roasts are wonderful, fab gravy and proper crispy roasties. Steaks are amazing, excellently cooked- really tasty- good meat. Cask ales well looked after. Can't recommend enough, it's a little jewel in Worcestershire!

Ive been a few times with friends, recently tried the food. I was not disappointed! Being an old building it can be a bit chilly but nothing a jumper can't fix. Will visit again.

We have driven past this little pub a few times and commented how lovely it looks. As we were driving past today on our way to our destination we decided to stop for a drink and Sunday Lunch. I wish we had stopped before. This little pub is just amazing. The history is evident on every wall and really got us thinking. That aside the drinks choice available were delightful, a struggled to decide. We ordered a 2 course lunch from the set menu. The food was just amazing. Home cooked, fresh, tasty, perfectly cooked, presented and served. There was so much food served we couldn't eat it all, very unusual for us . The staff were friendly and helpful and on noting we hadn't finished our food came to check everything was OK. We had to say sorry, there is just too much. We intend to come back to this little jewel. Thank you xxx

beautiful quaint pub, dates back to 16 century and it used to be a field hospital for the soldier during the revolution. lovely food, a warm fire and friendly family and staff.

The superb £8:95 three course lunch was both tasty, plentiful and thoughtfully served. Both my husband and I enjoyed the pate, the chilli was hot and the ham was good. The meal was completed with traditional puddingsThe female staff, especially Fran, were attentive and good humoured. We were delighted that the wood burner was lit; although warm outside, it can be cooler in the characterful, clean interior.We would thoroughly recommend the pub. OUr impulsive call was really enjoyable.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoy the food that is served up here.. it is good wholesome food and not your run-of-the-mill chain food platter. Excellent value for money and the staff are friendly and very helpful.. now that they have increased their cider range this makes it a much chosen venue for us on a regular basis.. Thatchers is now served on draught .. a good selection of cask ales are to be had here as well.. go on try this pub ....you won't regret it.. it will make a nice change from your chain pubs..John worcester

Called in here a few times, just for a drink but always a friendly welcome. Never "clicky" and great to see a pool table back! Only downside was the lack of heating on a cold night, would have stayed longer if it was warmer!

well what can i say apart from brilliant, popped in here for a drink one night and was made very welcome,,so much in fact we came for meal, after a hard week at work travelling round the uk ,little did we know that there was. an establishment this close to home where a quality well cooked meal was available ,we had two 8oz rump steaks cooked to our liking,with home made chips ,, this sort of quality food is hard to find in hotels nevet mind a pub, we will most certainley be back good value. nice surroundings and freindly staff. ,anyone reading this dont take my word for it go you will not be dissapointed,GARANTEED,,,Dennis

Excellent 16th Century pub with great food and service. Not expensive and a good menu selection for light bites and main meals.

Called in for Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. The staff were both welcoming and friendly. We chose from the set two course Sunday lunch menu both of us having starters and lamb roast. When the main course arrived I was put off by the "pinkness" of the lamb but it was soon whisked away and replaced with lamb cooked a little more to my liking. We decided to also have pudding and again enjoyed our choices. We will certainly be returning soon and consider this pub to offer good value for money food.

I went back again after a couple of months to find things are just as good if anything getting better all the time. Everyone still as friendly and made to feel at home. The food is exceptional with alot of new dishes and many offers. Don't miss the 2oz rump steaks for £12.95 Tues to Friday. Good deal and many more

Lovely old village pub, pleasant atmosphere, friendly welcome and well populated with regular customers judging by the conversations going on in the bar.We went out for a steak and were not disappointed at all. In fact they were the best rump steaks that we had eaten in a long time. The only reason for not giving 5 stars was the TV.

Good honest pub grub! My Mum can be very fussy and difficult to please, and Vegan which often stumps some chefs, but our request of garlic mushrooms cooked without cream and butter was no problem and we all really enjoyed our no meat roast dinners, vegetables were well cooked and there was plenty of it! Mum never returns to a place unless she has been really impressed, this was her third return visit, she loves the buzz of the locals at the bar and the relaxed family atmosphere and warm welcome! Good selection of real ales and clean and tidy surroundings!

This is situated just a few miles from Worcester & on the edge of its village. It has the feel of a good old fashioned country pub with a good food menu.

We came to eat at the red lion last night after being recommend to us me and my husband both had the steak I asked for my well Done but when it cam out it was more like cremated ..when said I couldn't eat it I think it was the manager who said I could have a smaller steak ...We were sat right by the kitchen and when they asked the chef for another steak as it was to over cooked he was very rude and arrogant he was saying 'she will probably moan it's to under cooked' and she is not having any more chips so he re heated my chips and salad in the microwave and ruined my meal will not be returning and I think he needs a lesson on customer service skills very very rude !!!!!!!!

Saturday lunchtime - looking for somewhere different to eat out with my mother, wife, son and his wife. Warm welcome, but table rather away from the main hub of the pub. Not busy (may be the time of year!)Choice of food quite good, but basic. Snacks, mains and some specials - some not available.Home cooking in the main and when it eventually came it was all hot and tasty.Attentive service and a friendly farewell from the chef on the way out.

We stopped here for lunch on our way back home from Worcester . A Very quiet pub probably due to time of year, plus we were in quite early on at lunchtime , we read trip reviews before we decided to try it as we always do this now , reviews were quite good. The smell of bleach when arriving inside pub was a bit strong and a bit off putting though. We ordered garlic mushrooms on thick toasted chunky bread served with salad for starters , which was yummy, followed by steak and ale pie with chips and peas , the pie was ok but rather hot and peppery, the meat could of done with cooking for longer as some pieces were quite tough and chewy , the smaller pieces of meat were quite tender , but for £8.95 for two courses we couldn't complain . Girl behind bar was pleasant and friendly .It would of been quite nice if the log burner was lit as it was quite cold in the pub.

Had Christmas day lunch here, food was excellent we weren't rushed arrived at12.45 sat down at the table had a drink and then waited for the food. The pub was very busy everyone was enjoying themselves. A very friendly place. The food arrived everything was hot and a good time we had. Recommended

Great food and very friendly staff. The fillet steak, rump steak and roast beef was delicious and we will be back very soon for Sunday lunch.

Been in this pub several times, only had the beer, never the grub; I drink guiness and they pull a decent pint of that, really nice staff, right by the bus stops, so don't drive , 44, 363 & 373 buses from worcester

The red lion never disappoints. Staff are always friendly and the food is very good value. I have eaten here many times and not yet had a bad meal. Highly recommended 5*****

Popped in whilst passing to see if they did food passed 4pm on a sunday. Was pleased to hear that yes they were still serving sunday roast and it came with a free desert! For less than a tenner, you cant complain. Staff were friendly, food was served fast, hot and tasted great. This little pub has Really nice cosy atmosphere which is perfect for quiet sunday afternoon when the weather outside is bleak.. will pop by again.

Once again a great visit. Lovely food and great atmosphere. Made to feel welcome. Have been there many times and each visit gets better. Todays venison pie was one of the best I have had. In summary a lovely family run pub where you are not treated as a number but as a person. I certainly feel at home. And what a difference compared to these large chain pubs. All credit to Debb and her family.

We went last night to have their steak deal (£24.95 for two 8oz rumps and a bottle of wine) which is slightly more expensive than the other steak deals around town. On arrival, we sat down to be served and had a very friendly waitress.Our receiving our order, our initial reactions was that it was a good portion of food, that looked really nice and freshly cooked. The chips were fresh, and it was nice to have decent serving of salad. After to first mouthful of food a waitress asked how we were getting on (before having tried the steak) and my husband replied "ok". Sadly it went downhill from there. My steak was more sinew than steak and really very tough. By the time I cut the sinew out - I was left with little more the half the steak I paid for. My husbands was better, but not great. When our plates were taken from us, we mentioned it to the waitress (I think it was her first night), and I must be honest, I am not sure she mentioned to the chef.On paying we were asked if we enjoyed the food, and we both said that our steaks were tough, and although cooked perfectly (rare) not very pleasant. The waitress was very apologetic, and said she would have a chat to the chef, who at this stage was sitting outside having a cigarette. She came back and said that she had spoken to the chef and he said "next time we come, he will make sure we get a cut we like!!!!" Not only did I find that very presumptive, as he is assuming we are going to go back but I really think it was a very poor answer to a genuine complaint.We ate several time a month, and really aren't prone to complaining, but just felt that the food was a real let down, but on top of that, the response from management was even more disappointing.So my comment would be, avoid the steaks, and if you don't enjoy your food, don't expect any reaction from the chef.

Friendly staff, when we booked they made sure we knew the rugby would be on and asked if we required a table away from the screen. The food was tasty but didn't quite "do it". Probably a mistake to order fish and chips when we have such great fish n chips where we live but this was disappointing, nothing really wrong but not as good as we hoped. My steak and ale pie was delicious , tender meat and good gravy but the combination didn't result in a great pie! Too much gravy, (and I love lots of gravy) not really thick enough and the usual format of a pastry top on a dish of stew. Also, why place the dish on a paper napkin on the plate so it is impossible to turn it out to eat?

First impressions (TV and gaming machine) belies what turned out to be a really great lunch. Arrived about 1230 hrs to find only one other guest sitting at the bar. Warm welcome from the landlady and because there were only a few customers, we were treated to table service (normally ordering at the bar with table No.). Drinks came quickly and there was a good assortment of 'specials', apart from the menu card. We were a party of four (1 x steak, 1 x gammon, 1 x liver and bacon and 1 x homemade Korma curry). General opinion was excellent all round and I (curry) could only look on in envy at the generous portions of the other three - maybe a slightly larger bowl/plate next time please! Taste comments from everyone were extremely complimentary and we later told the Chef so. This was a real 'find' and good to v good value for money. Next time we will try the 'steak' night - steaks for two and a bottle of wine £25.00. What more could you ask for?

Have visited the Red Lion on average once a month since March 2014 and always found the staff welcoming and efficient.Visited twice in past week and enjoyed an evening meal in each occasion always good value and excellent produce.On the first occasion I had the sausage and mash whilst my wife enjoyed liver,bacon and mash. Both meals excellent quality and plentiful in quantity.The second occasion this evening we both had rump steaks and once again the quality of the meat and the preparation could not be faulted. The size of the meals ensures customers will not leave hungry. Wherever the meat in all dishes is sourced from, may it long continue - excellent and very well cooked. Thank you for your hospitality see you again soonRob

What an amazing local pub! Food is all home cooked and the staff are sonfriendly. We even got to eat after the jitchen had closed! Definately visit!! .

We ate dinner here after a long day driving and were staying nearby. I had the ribs and my friend had steak - both portions were huge and we were unable to finish the sides! The staff were really helpful in recommending food choices (and providing extra napkins for the ribs) and gave friendly service.

Great place. Good food and friendly atmosphere. Made to feel welcome. Have visited at least 8 times with family and on my own

Friendly atmosphere and staff, free nibbles whilst we were there. Large car park round the back of the pub

Staying nearby and wanted somewhere close to eat. staff over keen glasses were swiped away after emptying almost before they were back on the table. Food very well presented and fair value for money steak was cooked exactly as requested unfortunately it was rather gristly. Bil was forced on us as soon as we had eated and we felt we had to move on.

Visited this pub as it was within walking distance of where we were staying. Food ok but felt as if they wanted us to leave as asked us if we wanted the bill before we had barely finished. Waitress was very pleasant but won't be in a rush to visit again.

Just got back from the Red Lion for a family Sunday Lunch. .. The Roast dinner and pudding were faultless, and the staff were very friendly. I had never been before but the food was so delicious, it wont be long before we return.

Visited a couple of weeks ago with family and the welcome, service and quality/quantity of food was excellent. Felt like proper home made food. We'll be back :)

Visited Bank holiday Monday, only Sunday lunch available.very poor. Vegetables tired, gravy tasteless. Very disappointing.

The red lion is the most welcoming pub i have been to. food is amazing and good for your money, portions are good aswell. The whole atmosphere is good and everyone is so friendly and kind both costomers and staff. Will return everytime for a drink or/and a meal. I am currenlty having a bowl of chips :)

Having not eaten all day my wife and I thought we would pop out to the local for dinner. The two for one Crown was 45 mins wait so we thought we would try the Red Lion Inn just down the road. We ordered drinks, lasagne with salad and chips for me a plate of chips for my wife. The food arrived . Chips over cooked , salad ok, lasagne very crispy and over done, then the garlic bread! . I found a bit of plastic food container in it and complained. I was given a free pint in recompense and told if I found anymore I would get a refund.I was just finishing my free drink when the pub was invaded by parilitic football fans! One was so far gone his friend had to carry him in. We left and will not return.

Received a warm welcome, the food was simple but very good pub food. Especially liked the basket meals (lemon sole / chicken goujons) with hand cut chips which were devoured by the children. My ribeye steak was as good as I get from my butcher and my wife loved the lasagne which she is convinced was home made. No sign of small helpings. Didn't have pud as this was a quick stop but they sounded tempting and not expensive, we will just have to come back. Overall a very good experience.

We visited this pub for an evening meal and one of our group summed it up as 'Same average fayre as our local pub but smaller portions'. it doesn't pretend to even be a fine dining experience so unfair to judge it so. Therefore I would just say predictable menu, average pub grub with smaller portions than most pubs I've been toThat will suit some of course who just want to stock up and be on their way but probably not for me as there are better options elsewhere

Visited for food what more can I sayIt was tastyIt tasted freshGreat portion sizeLovely hand cut chips Lovely staffVery attentive The pub is spotlessTRY THE LION BURGER ITS LUSHwell Donne the red lionI'll be back

We have visited the Red Lion quite regularly but are by no means "locals" although we feel we are always treated as such. The 3 of us enjoyed our meals although my mother who's birthday (93) we were celebrating couldn't quite finish her 8 oz steak. We mentioned in passing to the young lady who cleared the table that it was mum's birthday and that she was 93. The young lady cleared the table but returned soon to ask my mother's name and shortly after the whole pub sang happy birthday to her. What a lovely thought and thanks to the male voice choir. Our thanks for everything!

We have driven past this place many times on the way to our more popular haunt but decided on this night to give it a try. We were greeted by a friendly bar girl who was very helpful. The menu is not the most exciting but covered most of our tastes with the only think missing in my opinion was a nice home cooked pie. I had cod and chips, Sarah has the steak and our friend had the huge burger. We all enjoyed the food very much and there were some nice touches like the home cooked chips. Very good value for money and would rather eat here than in one of the large chains. No complaints at all.

friendly staffnever had a bad meal as on all 3 occasions I have been puddings are yummy quick service

Excellent quality food at very reasonably prices. £10 for roast lamb, pork or beef. All served at the table with beautifully cooked vegetables. Lovely presentation and hot plates so the meal stayed nice and hot. The new management were very friendly and chatty. The waitress was very attentive. The pub has been decorated to suite its era. Would have loved to have seen an open log fire I think it would really give the place that warm glowing feeling. We will certainly be coming back again.

Good quality food and very reasonably priced, very convenient for the Daybrook B&B. Newly refurbished and recently opened.

We checked this pub earlier in the day for wheelchair access for my elderly mother and having established that there was easy access from the rear car park decided to book for lunch,on Saturday 15/11, after reading several favorable reviews about the food.we chose the £10 3 course menu (also available as 1 course for £6 and 2 courses for £8 steak was an extra £2) We had potato skins and soup as starters. The potato skins were served very attractively with a dip and salad and a generous portion. Soup was broccoli and stilton served with roll and butter and I am pleased to say was piping hot (soup needs to be hot) and tasted delicious. We all elected for 6 oz steak and were impressed with the presentation when served with onion ring, grilled tomato and mushrooms and individual portions of hand cut chips which were again piping hot. We were a little worried that the oldest amongst us would struggle with the steak but it was tender, easily cut and tasty. My mother always thinks steak knives are "ominous". One of us ordered a sweet which was equally good but their eyes were too big for their belly and it couldn't be finished. The staff were very welcoming and the service was good. The place was quiet when we arrived but people arrived steadily and all the food coming past us looked lovely. All in all a lovely lunch at a reasonable price and we will return. We were told that the place had only finished being refurbished in the past month. it is full of character and the legend on the wall states that it was used as a hospital during the Battle of Powick during the Civil War at the time of Charles II.

The service was faultless and the food was lovely and really large portions. There was also a children's menu and having children in the pub wasnt a problem either!!! which is rare these days.I would highly recommend for sunday lunch and the wine was spot on too. Many thanks we will be returning soon.

Having passed this pub a lot and seen numerous "under new management" signs, we decided to try it out after a friend commented that the steak she had there was the best she had ever had. We were more than impressed. My steak was superb and cooked correctly, which is not always the case, and hubby's Cajun chicken was delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service attentive without being too much. Already planning when we will be going again

visited the pub last week with 3 friends and we all had the 3 course menu for a £10 & we weren't disappointed.The soup, parsnip was delicious and so was the bread & butter pudding. My friend & I had the gammon and my other friend paid a bit extra for the steak. The mains were satisfactory. The real ale was nice too, with a good selection.Only minus was the smokers outside the front door, which included the landlady, or who appeared to be the landlady. Every time the door opened we got a waft of cigarette smoke, which was unpleasant.Well worth a visit but avoid the seats by the door if you don't like smoke

My wife & I ate at the Red Lion last night (18/10/14) and had an excellent meal. The steaks were cooked well and were as good as anywhere in the Malvern area. We have eaten at much more expensive venues and this was up there with them. The staff were welcoming and attentive. We will definitely be back.

We recently popped into the red lion for a spot of lunch as we heard it had been reopened. Serving food all day it really is a cute little pub. The service is excellent. The food by my opinion is not you standard "pub grub" it tasted fresh and not just out of a microwave like you get and some pubs, very good home cooked food with a extra touch of class. I really enjoyed it and it was extremely well priced! Defiantly worth a go and we will be going back :)

A wonderful pub set in the heart of the village. On arrival, was greeted by friendly staff who really put themselves out to make me and family welcome. The beer was reasonably priced, with good choice of beers on tap.Everybody in at the time where friendly + polite.Dan, the barman, could n't do enough to make us feel at home.A splendid evening was had by all.Well done RedLion.

This pub has just reopened and started now to offer food. We've been twice over the last few days and were mightily impressed. Liver and onions better than my dear old Mum used to make and soup so clearly not out of a tin. We've both been delighted with the quality and presentation of the food. The new licencee has plans to improve the decor and rumour has it there will be an open fire soon which will really help play to this pubs strengths. I'm looking forward to many more lovely meals there.

went to red lion at powick for the new management open night where there was great music and fun with the locals where new chef put out a selection of a chicken curry vegetable curry and a chilli.i had a bit of each dish where the flavour was emence the best chilli I have tasted and the chicken curry following up severed with sum nachos that where perfectly cooked. I have even booked a table to go back for food to try out the new menus :)

Stopped here for lunch, and it lived up to generally excellent reviews. My wife's rare ribeye steak was superb with great flavour, and I chose the equally good steak and ale pie. Large portions, nice accompaniments, and very pleasant and thoughtful bar staff. Quiet when we were there and deserves to be busier. Highly recommended

Difficult to find anything not to like here! Lots of good things tho, atmosphere, food, cleanliness, value, all perfect.Extensive menu choice for "Pub Grub" too, well worth a visit .. Well done Ali, Chef and the Staff.

I telephoned on the afternoon to book a table of 8 people for the evening and was fitted in, not that the pub was over busy. The food was great, just how we had ordered our steaks with recommendation from the manager.Service was good & will defiantly be returning for another enjoyable night.

We visited the pub last month. It is in a nice convenient location between Malvern and Worcester. The pub looks clean and well laid out, with an area with tables and a bar area. From our trips past the kitchen it seemed clean and organised. Staff were friendly, but not very drilled in modern customer service if you know what I mean. Our overall criticism was that somehow it seems that they are just not very well set up for the family Sunday lunch market. Firstly they don't do a specific children's portion. This means that eating with under 5's is either trickier or more expensive. It seems weird that they don’t do this, as I would imagine it is a money maker overall, say charge £5 for a much smaller plate. Secondly they were a little slow, not chronically, just taking time to prepare. When the food came it wasn't bad. Meat was very good quality, (but they didn’t ask how we would like it, rare, well done etc) roast potatoes were large and a little bit undercooked / hard inside. Veggies were great and there were lots of them. They didn’t have a particularly children orientated drinks or desert menu, we weren’t asked if we needed a high chair etc. So overall I would say it was a nice experience, and wouldn’t mind going back, but probably a lower scoring place if you have younger children.

Visited today with a large party of 20. Were served promptly with excellent food served on hot plates with plenty of vegetables. We all really enjoyed our meals and the welcome we received.

Passing by thinking of eating here, we stopped for a drink with a view to eating. Pear shaped.... No one at the bar.....5 mins to be served and not very welcoming, no apols. What was really worrying was that a male at the bar was so something he could not articulate, and a female , clearly a regular was announcing her sexual intents for the evening to all. No one told her to shut it. We liked the decor but left feeling a bit scared. I see food is circa £10+ but regardless of the good reviews probably written for a freeby, I will avoid as I value my life. What a shame.. AVOID

I have used this restaurant on about 12 occasions and had found it reasonable value with good steaks. I booked a table for two by phone, at lunchtime on the 8th. February, starting time for 7pm. that date. On arrival the book was checked and my booking had been missed off. The restaurant was nearly empty and we were shown to a table in a cramped corner with a family of two adults and three children at the side. Totally unnecessary, better for them and us, if we had been kept separate. Children were in and out, running around and even being sick! Debris was appearing on the floor, plastic bottles and food waste, which was not cleared up even when the family had left. We were shown little but contempt by staff and no consideration. I now that I made the reservation with manager. He was not present in the evening and there was nobody with whom to voice any concerns. Thoroughly disgusting.

Other reviews have commented on the restaurant being cold and I must admit that it was a bit chilly for us, we also found furnishings more basic than we had expected. The lady at the bar was very polite and helpful, but appeared to be on her own and struggled to provide good service. We ordered the olives and the nachos to start, the nachos were very tasty but the olives were initially served without the ciabatta and were in a very small bowl and tasteless, when requested the bread arrived but was an ordinary white loaf with foil wrapped butter. For main course we had sea bass, this was very good, it was well cooked and presented. We thought that the prices were a little expensive for the surroundings and the olives badly let down what was otherwise a good meal.

Amazing food here, 2 for 12£ meals I usually don't expect much at all, but the quality was great, best steak I've had eating out. Atmosphere was a little dead but we did go on a weekday afternoon so maybe can be expected. Overall great the food was excellent.

My partner and I visited the Red Lion and utilised a Groupon voucher. The waiting staff were friendly, helpful and attentive.The food was lovely, cooked to our wants and we both had a pleasant time.Only negative was the dining area was a little chilly!

wonderful staff, fab food, reasonably priced drinks,although the dining room was a little chilly !!!

I visited the Red Lion in Powick with two friends on a friday lunch time in December, just before Christmas. We went in and sat down at a table and just as I was about to get up to order some drinks from the bar, a very scruffy looking manager leaned over the bar and shouted 'oi, it aint waiters service'. I don't know why we stayed to eat, but we did and I have to say the food was really nice. It was cooked promptly and tasted really good. The service however did not improve and my friends and I were not impressed with the managers attitude.

We visited the Red Lion on a Groupon voucher offer last night and based on the excellent Tripadvisor ratings we had high hopes indeed.We arrived and found an easy parking space on their carpark and were greeted by a very friendly bar lady who took us to our table. The first issue we encountered was how cold the restaurant area was. I don't mind things being a little cool, but the temperature was so cool we both fet uncomfortable and asked to be moved. The staff were very friendly, apologised and found us a new table next to a radiator which was much better.For starters I ordered the chilli prawns and my partner the nachos. My prawns were unfortunately very dry, hot and with practically no flavour and were served on a bed of salad comprised predominantly raw peppers which was a bit much. That said the salad dressing was very nice. The nachos were plentiful and hot but were unfortunately smothered in the most enormous pile of molten cheddar which was a) overkill and smothered the nachos and b) the wrong type of cheese and just didn't work.For main course I had the pork sizzler in pepper sauce with veg and chips. The veg and chips were very nice but the sizzler was swimming in oil looked very unappetising indeed and it had absolutely no flavour whatsoever and I mostly left it. My partner had the fillet steak which came with the same tasteless pepper sauce and was very chewy indeed.When we asked for the bill we were charged extra for the prawns and fillet steak which whilst it may have been excluded from the offer would've been nice to have pointed out to us when we ordered, so we were fully informed rather than to find out when the bill was presented.Unfortunately things didn't end here as we both felt very queasy indeed that night and my partner in particular was decidedly unwell.I can only conclude that for whatever reason we were the victims of an 'off day' as lots of people have posted excellent reviews. I sincerely hope this is the case. I wish the Red Lion all the best but we won't be visiting again.

went here with my partner on the groupon offer, in january. the food we had was very good.....i particularly liked the mission statement in the menu, explaining the owners' desire to source most of the food locally - it indicated a real desire on the part of the owners to ensure the quality of the food.... my partner had the chilli prawns starter, and i had duck and orange pate. the prawns were perfectly cooked, still soft, and well seasoned,. they were served with a delish salad and very tasty dressing. a perfect starter. my pate was served with the same salad , 2 good sized slices of fresh still warm toast, and the pate was served in an individual ramekin dish with a good layer of butter on the top indicating it was home made, and not just a slice from a piece from the wholesalers. it was very rich and tasty, and again, perfect. for mains, i had the pie - the menu refers to a pie of the week and i was liucky enough to have steak and ale. again, it was an individual pie, and not a slice from a bigger one, nor a pile of stew with a piece of puff pastry balanced on top. it was packed full of meat and mushroom, and not padded out with carrot or other veg. a true meat pie ! and the pastry was perfect - not shortcrust but a very fine layer of puff that was still moist and soft underneath, not all crispy...it was served with a bowl of veg and huge chips. it was the perfect pie although could have been served with a little extra gravy - there was so much meat in the pie ! my partner had the sea bass - 2 good sized fillets, pan fried in a little chilli butter, but not at all greasy. it was very tasty and moist and i would say very fresh. she shared the chips and veg. my partner then had a single scoop of vanilla and toffee sauce toppped with walnuts....again, perfect.the staff were very friendly, and the service attentive. the food, the service, and the drinks were just perfect.but.... 2 big complaints...sorry, but in the interests of balance and honesty. i have to say the menu is a bit odd.....thrown together without any balance...starters included cheesy nachos, bbq wings, and a bowl of olives ! whilst the pate and prawns were delish, there wouldnt have been very much else for us. and mains included a lot of steaks, burgers, pie of the week, and then seafood linguine (which sounded lovely), and the bass, ...so a couple of high end dishes, and a lot of grub ! but to repeat, the food was wonderful.big moan.....a complete lack of atmoshere or ambience.....sorry...there are many comments as to the coldness of the place - well, its not just the temperaturre. whoever refurbed this place really should be shot....the mismatched ceramic floor tiles upon entry - there are two clearly different colours, the little restaurant area at the back lacks any character - who's idea were the metallic red venetian blinds ??? they would look quite nice in an ikea bathroom, but in a cosy country pub!!.....and the fires....there appear to be two old hearths, but all closed up with chintzy little decorations.....open them up, make a feature of the, a focal point, and spread some warmth. and the bar area has been fitted on the cheap - there are areas without beading or edging... just a slab of granite stuck in....there were 3 local lads drinking at the bar, and three tables of diners - one of whom asked to be moved to a warmer area....it really does deserve to be MUCH MUCH busier, but being as empty as it was, and with such cold clinical decor, it really was a cold experience....so come on owners, read these comments, and make the place warmer and more inviting - the food is great so dont spoil it by expectig people to eat it in such a cold clinical environment.it was an enjoyable evening none the less, by virtue of the food, and of the owners' passion to please, but......it has a long way to go to become the perfect pub.
