Robin Hood Public House in Malvern Hills

Great traditional english pub, super menu selection, nice selection of fine ales and freshly cooked food, excellent service from our waitress Louise, cosy atmosphere, child friendly, highly recommended for either a casual drink or for some honest homemade tasty pub grub!

it was they worst meal i ever had and service was bad will not be going back there the pub is boring in every way do not waste your money our time

I'll start with the good points, dog friendly country pub, outside seating, kids play park and the food was very tasty, asked for the chilli a bit spicy and that's exactly what I got, now the not so good points.. male staff generally pretty rude and abrupt, felt like the people skills weren't a necessity, didn't make for a friendly atmosphere, we were outside but moved inside due to the weather, we found a table but we were asked to move to a bigger table but the abrupt reason was that we may block access to another table, which we weren't, we had one drink for our little one that was either served in a stinking glass or it was off, dogs were welcome but make sure your dog is very quiet and ok with the pub dog running around inside and out, asked for I side of chips only to be told they weren't ordered, no one checked to see if our food was ok, did we enjoy our meal or even a thanks and goodbye on the way out.

The food was good homemade fare and generous portions too. The welcoming landlord with lots of beers and ciders on tap made it even more enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble and very dog friendly too.

Passing so callled in, very pleasant staff good menue choices, settled for the pie, sat waiting in the pleasant surroundings and we were not disappointed when the food arrived. The pie was made on site and delicious supported by the best chips ever and selected veg. What a wonderful meal at an affordable £40 including drinks. We will definitely return and fully recommend a visit.

We've never had a worse meal than the supposed Roast Dinner. we ordered. 2 pork and 1 beef. The plates were swimming it what was called gravy, the colour was almost black and it had soaked into the meat and roast potatoes so much it was impossible to know what the meat was, The food tasted of the gravy and vegetables were over cooked and tasteless. We had been told the standard of food had improved, if that's improved goodness knows what it was like previously. Do yourself a favour and drive past this place.

We came for lunch on Friday 26th and had a fantastic meal. Ordered roast Partridge with bacon, Wild mushrooms, Shredded cabbage and Fondant potatoes, accompanied by a dish of vegetables (Carrots, Broccoli, Swede, Turnip and Cabbage). Rioja was a lovely choice of wine, rich and full bodied, perfectly fitting for the meal. Staff were friendly and welcoming as ever, as we are regulars, often with my two well behaved dogs in tow. Compliments to the chef 👨‍🍳 😋

The landlord was incredibly rude and unwelcoming. We definitely won't be going back. We stopped here for lunch on the way back from a walk on the Malvern Hills but left within 5 minutes of walking through the door. The landlord's body language and demeanour were negative as soon as I asked if they could accommodate 8 of us for lunch. He walked behind the bar, muttering something to the barmaid, and then almost reluctantly offered us a table in the small room, not the bar area. He then aggressively told us the puppy wasn't allowed in there and rudely said, "can't you leave it in the car?" Clearly, he didn't want our business, so we left immediately, feeling annoyed at his poor attitude and obvious ignorance of what good customer service looks and feels like. If you're thinking of stopping here, consider one of the other establishments in the area such as the Duke of York at Birtsmorton, where you will find a much warmer welcome.

The pub opens at 12 for food & we arrived at 1158, mainly for a toilet break, but we ended up ordering lunch & I am so glad we did! It was excellent! I had seared tuna which was gorgeous & beautifully cooked, & my husband had homemade steak & ale pie which couldn’t have been more stuffed with meat if they tried! We then had crème caramel pud which was lovely, & warm autumn truffle which was exceptional. Wish it was our local! Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Took my two grandkids who are vegetarian. Staff member quite inflexible and dismissive. Great pity as it's a local pub and that attitude has lost £££ in revenue as won't be going back.

Delicious food especially the garlic prawns & fresh bread. Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating we love coming here. Would highly recommend, fab beer garden and so much seating.

Stopped on the way back from the three counties show for a meal sat in a great garden, with fab play area for the kids. Food was reasonably priced and very nice we were to full for puddings. Loved the dog Murphy 😍

We came here last Sunday evening when here on holiday for the weekend and had a delicious Sunday roast. Roast beef with all the trimmings and veg, good portion size and then desert. Good prices and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend this pub

The Robin Hood is what I'd call a proper pub. Hearty, homemade food, and really friendly service. Really cosy olde worlde pub, highly recommended.

Perfect ham and cheese pie, mash, steamed veg and gravy with apple crumble and custard to follow. Highly recommended.

two of us had Sunday lunch at the Robin Hood. There is a new chef here and the lunch we had was great. Portions are a good size, with varied veg. Dessert was a fantastic sticky toffee pud with toffee sauce and custard. Fantastic - my partner’s. favourite pud and 10/10 in his view. We’ve always liked the Robin Hood and it’s greatly improved by the new extension, although we still prefer the bar area . It’s doggy friendly with resident doggy host, Murphy who loves everyone! We will certainly return.

Visited for my husband's 60th birthday with ,8 adults , 2 year old granddaughter and dog. Food was excellent, lovely staff and resident dog Murphy who our dog took a shine to Would recommend xx

My wife and I decided to try this pub out for the first time since we moved to the area last year. We arrived for early evening drinks and were warmly welcomed by Maggie. The cosy atmosphere was enhanced by a log fire in the comfy lounge. Brian, the boss, and Suzanne also served us and took time out to talk to us as new residents in Malvern. By 5pm the lounge was full and there was a quiet 'buzz' from all the locals indulging in pleasant banter. Both in our seventies, we didn't feel out of place but were made to feel valued guests and enjoyed meeting so many nice people. It was a relaxing evening and we will return soon. Thanks for the welcome!

Love this pub! Great homemade food, affordable, friendly staff and I love the new modern dining extension. Good outdoor seating area and a park for the kids. I would recommend to anyone.

We went for Sunday lunch for 6. There are Sunday roasts, specials and the normal menu all available. We did book to ensure an inside seat. Everyone enjoyed their food, we were all served at the same time, and it was good value.

What a wonderful find whilst on a mini break in the Malverns. We turned up on Thursday lunchtime without booking. The service was incredible, Super speedy without feeling rushed, the food was piping hot and very generous, the whole table left feeling full. There looks to be fab outdoor seating with a play area, such a shame the rain was pouring down so our children couldn’t enjoy it. 100% recommend.

The landlord mocked me for being a vegetarian. Two of us ladies at the bar vs a cocky landlord with no manners. He spoke down to us like children whilst laughing and commenting that he has so many things he wishes he could say to us but probably shouldn't. Safe to say we decided NOT to eat here.

Visited the area for the week, lovely nearby pub for an afternoon drink or two in the garden and great food at dinner time. Friendly staff, good service and a lovely pub dog!

Came here with my family for lunch ordered large fish and chips it definitely wasn’t large judging by some of the photos on here, and £3.50 for a 39p lidls garlic baguette? Cider was nice but food was too expensive

Good food and great staff. The bar can be a bit noisy with locals. They welcome dogs in the bar and have a good menu and a large garden, with a dog free restaurant.

Enjoyed well cooked food at lunchtime . Even though we were later than the time we booked we were welcomed and shown great hospitality. Sitting in the main light and airy room the whole atmosphere was great . It was good value for money and...

Dropped in for evening meal. Very friendly welcome. Lovely food (steak meal, fish pie, 2 ploughman’s). Choice of eating areas including outdoor but too wet this evening). Gorgeous friendly extremely well behaved dog Murphy Super friendly service Highly recommend to all visitors to the area.

Not sure why there was reviews about a grumpy landlord, he welcomed us in and was very cheerful! We looked at a menu that was on the bar whilst waiting for our drinks. Landlord stated that food was served at 6pm (we arrived at 5.30)...

Had a lovely “Pub Grub” lunch here today. Good fresh and tasty. Good value. Excellent service by friendly staff and pup! All in an olde beamed pub. Even the Loos were clean and tidy. Would recommend Thank you

As an ex landlord of 40 years experience I can honestly say I feel for the landlord with this type of negative review in these hard times. Old traditional country pubs look charming don’t they ? But ….. the upkeep and cost of running them...

Great pub so friendly. Professional staff attentive to your needs. Definitely the best pub in welland / castlemorton top place

Been twice recently, staff very friendly, good basic pub grub, service excellent, not expensive, a decent bottle of Pinot Grigio for under £20. Not fine dining but clean,bright, friendly and the food was good. Will visit again

Fab food value for money great staff friendly a lovely comfortable space inside and out Well worth a visit !

We booked a table for 5 for dinner. The menu is ideal for us, the usual selection of straightforward pub meals and puddings. What was pleasing was they just did everything right. We were all happy with the food, the service and the bill was...

We had fish and chips here. Fish was tasteless. And not nice. Chips had a lot of eyes in them. The worse meal we have had so far. Told the young waiter. But no one came to see us. So this is why I am...

good location on main road, plenty of parking and big garden outside. you have to order from bar and take out your own drinks and bring glasses back as it says on print out on tables.

We came up to the area for a long weekend and took a recommendation on where to eat for Sunday lunch. Didn’t feel an overly warm welcome when we were greeted, the service was ok throughout. Definitely just ‘doing a job’ rather than an ounce...

Although we eat at the Robin Hood on average once every four to six weeks I think a boost for their ‘excellence’ is well worth reporting. They always go that ‘extra’ mile for guests, there is never a long wait for food (which is consistently...

We have always supported local businesses and their employees. We made a conservative effort to do so more during lockdown including deliveries and now included the government 'Eat out to Help Out' scheme. As you can see from previous reviews our local pubs and restaurants...

First time we’ve been since before lockdown. I’ve missed this place. Lovely home cooked food. We got to sit in the new extension. They do lovely food no pretentious nonsense. A good choice on the menu with a nice selection of beers. Lovely garden too....

Stopped here for the first time and will definitely be coming back. The food was fantastic and the pie looked to be genuinely homemade. It was stuffed with beef and a gorgeous gravy. The kids loved their meals and my wife's small fish and chips...

Am very picky about pies. It must have a top bottom and sides; it must have plenty of filling and not just air and gravy; the filling must be of the highest quality, no gristle or chewy bits permitted; and must have a good accompaniment...

Just a visit on the spur of a the moment

This pub is a little gem. Quirky and what I call a proper pub. Cosy and very friendly, a great team of staff. If you like a good home made pie or faggots then this place is a must. Menu is a good array of food and at a good price. Pudding plentiful and delisious.

I reviewed The Robin Hood in June 2018 and found it excellent then. Called again with a friend and nothing has changed, it still offers excellent food and service. We both had vegetarian dishes and they were both delicious. We also managed to find room to share a pudding and did not regret this even though we were rather full.

Lovely lunch. Very busy even on a Tuesday! Dog friendly. Friendly staff. We had delicious home made Cottage Pie with fresh vegetables. There is a play area for children. Local Alex and cider.

We have now found our perfect choice for Sunday Lunch.. Food is excellent , service is very good and there is a lovely feel to the place.

The Robin Hood is a traditional old English pub with low beamed ceiling and wooden tables. We popped in for a quick midday lunch and were agreeably surprised at the extensive menu available. We chose Hunters Chicken which came with fries and vegetables. It was a very large piece of chicken, and indeed we couldn't finish it but the management kindly allowed us to take the remainder home for the cat. The food is all home cooked and prepared and the apple & blackberry pie which I had as a dessert was delicious. It's not haute cuisine but good healthy British pub fare.

We were camping nearby so walked up to have some food. It was early evening but met with a friendly welcome from staff. We brought our dog and he was fussed and certainly didn’t complain. Had meals (curry and steak pie), both were plentiful and nice hearty meals cooked well and couldn’t fault. Good atmosphere, friendly locals and max the dog said hello too. All in all, a lovely country pub, nice food, log stove and friendly people.

Re visited our almost local, great food very dog friendly because the pub was quiet our Spaniel who was aslyin front of the log fire was able to have wonder zen cause no issues great

Three meals taken last night, rather expensive for each meal at £9.75 for a Chicken Curry and the same for a Ploughman's. The Chinese Ribs and chips weren't cooked long enough and were tough, the chips standard frozen and again not completely cooked. It's a shame as we've eaten there before but standards have dropped. They did not charge me for my meal and I commend them for that but still a spoiler to an evening.

The pub is traditional and inviting...the staff were quick and attentive.

We stopped here on New Years Day after a walk in the Malverns. The pub was fairly busy but we found a table. We ordered the homemade beef burgers that were really tasty and a nice side of salads accompanied it. We did take our dog in as a sign clearly said dogs were welcome, we were in the dining area and were soon asked to take our dog out as dogs aren't allowed in this area, better signage would be helpful. Our children were also asked not to play outside in the park area which seemed a bit unnecessary.

Good atmosphere even though busy they served us quickly, very responsive to anything we asked for and a lovely time was had by all. Lots of savings on the food Lite Bite Menu excellent price. .

After several visits I feel it deserves a mention. I`ve never been disappointed and my particular favourites are the gammon followed by the crumble of the day

Visited this traditional looking country pub for lunch on a wet Friday. The interior is quaint and comfortable with a log burner, beams and brasses! Max the dog is welcoming and friendly, as are the staff. Good selection of pub food including specials and “Lite Bites”. All the food was delicious (recommend the steak and ale pie and beer battered cod) and the portions were very generous. The lattes were good too. Don’t be fooled by the term “Lite Bites” - I saw the size of the faggot being delivered to another table and it was huge! The prices were very good too. The garden looks a great place for families in the summer. Hope to go back for Sunday lunch (these have to be booked).

We have stopped in for a meal a few times and have always had lovely food. This time I had beef and ale pie. It was crammed with big pieces of beef in a wonderful sauce. The pie was large and I struggled to finish it but was not going to leave any. The best pie I have ever had. Thank you

Booked a table for 4 for Bank Holiday Sunday, myself, husband, mum and uncle (both in their 80s), they both had the Sunday roast, beef and pork and both enjoyed it although the roast potatoes and Yorkshire pud was a little too well done. Hubby and I both had scampi, plenty of it and chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. We all had puds and thoroughly enjoyed them.

Visited for lunch. Fab veggie menu. Interior was warm and welcoming but we sat outside as the weather was good. Food was awesome. Staff were great. Will definitely be returning.

We were on our way to a hotel at Malvern and the pub we'd expected to have lunch was closed. We carried on and on the country road, no pub appeared. Then we passed the Robin Hood and saw people still eating outside. We turned, went in and were welcomed warmly. My partner had salmon with a delicious crust, I had their beef and ale pie . To my regret I was unable to finish more than half and this very well filled pie, accompanied by well cooked vegetable and chips. This establishment deserves all the accolades it receives..

Eat here about 2 or 3 times a month and have never been Dissapointed. On this visit it was extremely busy but the service was not affected. We both had the ribeye steak cooked medium and this is exactly how it was cooked.

We were staying in Hanley Swan and arrived Sunday evening. The hotel where we were staying had stopped serving food but they recommended this pub/restaurant . The Robin Hood is a very friendly busy pub. A great selection of home cooked food, well presented and reasonable priced. Fully recommend.

We called in here after a day looking at NGS gardens and were travelling back to Malvern.

This week we took 11 of our residents out for a lunch (Care Home) The parking was perfect and very easy to use wheel chairs into the pub. Both the food and drink were very good, maybe the portions were a little on the large size.The service was great and the bar maid was excellent. Would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you

A great pub, parking, outside area and friendly staff. Visited with friends and family, a wide variety on menu and light bites. We had ham, egg and chips, homemade faggots and gammon, all cooked to perfection and staff were very accommodating. Puddings were amazing, excellent value for money and will definitely return.

Lovely spot for a midweek evening dinner. We sat in the garden as we have a dog and was greeted by the pub dog, Max, who is very friendly and lovely! Good to see an effort to cater for vegetarians like us but disappointed for that to be 'vegetable lasagne', 'vegetable pie', etc. Portion sizes were excellent though and at basic pub food prices it was on the better end of the scale. Service excellent and we would definitely go back

We had dinner here and the food was really nice with quick service even though they were busy. Landlady and landlord were very cheerful and welcoming.

Stopped for lunch and sat outside on a sunny day. A very pleasant and clean traditional pub, good beer, food excellent, good helpings, good value. Service a bit slow, but worth the wait. Recommended.

Visited for lunch with friends and were definitely not disappointed. My wife and I had the ‘Cottage Pie’ which was delicious. Two courses Mon - Fri is only £10.50 - what tremendous value. Very welcoming landlady who attended to all our needs - we shall return again soon - very many thanks

"Winchcombe1"'s review clearly belongs to another pub. The menu items mentioned don't appear on the RH Castlemorton's menu. Although I have never seen vomit in the car park,it doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I am sure,however, that if iit had happened, the staff would have cleared it away immediately.

We stayed locally for a weekend and visited the Robin Hood for dinner Friday night and went back for lunch the following day. The food was amazing, can’t fault any of the meals we had (scampi & chips, beef burger, sandwiches). Staff are all really friendly, and Max was very well behaved! Great value for money, would highly recommend and would definitely go back if we’re ever in the area again.

We have been regular customers for some years and mainly enjoy the delicious Butty Bach beer but know enough of the menu here to assert that the food dish comments mentioned in the previous review, do not exist on the menu at this Pub. I would not be happy to see this review unchallenged, as I believe it is an unfortunate error and belongs to another Robin Hood in Droitwich (after some in depth menu research). Please read other customer reviews to gain an accurate picture of this excellent country pub which is undoubtably dog friendly ... eh Max!

We had a really bad experience a couple of years ago (under the current owners). Our friends have continued to praise it, so we gave it another try. 19 covers were being served (filled the bar area - there is a nice restaurant area beside)....

We stopped by here as the Inn was closed and had a lovely pint whilst enjoying the open fire. Max...

We were staying in the area and we walked down to the Robin Hood. It was such a friendly pub...

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Amazing food, great service and a welcoming dog to entertain your children. 5 stars! Highly recommended.

Vine aquí con mi esposa para el almuerzo. Es un país con un encantador pub de buen tamaño jardín nuestra comida llegó en tiempo y forma y estaba muy bien y el personal eran buenos.

Alojarse localmente pensamos pop en algunos alimentos. Pub perros con un personal amable. La comida es medio poco bien de la carretera y no hay nada que destacar, pero bueno. Cómodo ambiente amable.

Visitamos el Robin Hood para comer porque nos informaron de que la comida era excelente. Lo primero que debería decir que la elección de la cerveza es limitada a pale ales, que no son de mi gusto, así que me fui sin. Mi esposa tenía Butty Bach, y lo disfruté. Elegí faggots, guisantes y patatas fritas con salsa, puré de cebolla se sugirió en el menú, pero chips se ofrecieron como alternativa. Mi esposa eligió bacalao a la cerveza y patatas fritas. Me habían advertido que el faggots eran grandes pero decidimos quedarnos con los dos faggots indicados en el menú. La comida llegó rápido ya que fuimos de los primeros clientes de comer, las mesas eran bastante pronto después de ser llevado. No disfruté de mi comida, ya que un tercio de las patatas fritas eran poco hecha y el faggots estaban secas, aunque había suficiente salsa proporciona. Quizás, si me había puesto con una cerveza que no me gustan las cosas podría haber sido diferente. Además, dada la localidad, me pareció que la comida era demasiado caro. Mi esposa disfrutó su comida, así que las tres estrellas tomar esto en cuenta, y el servicio era eficiente y amable.

Fuimos para una comida en el pub precioso país y disfrutamos de la comida, que era muy agradable @ un precio razonable. El servicio era muy bueno también. Una tarde muy agradable con buena comida y buena variedad en el menú con unos especiales! !

Tuvimos una comida muy sabrosa en este pub país muy acogedor - altamente recomendado si está pasando.

Mi hermano estaba de camping cerca y mi esposa y yo nos conocimos con él para una cena pub. reservamos una mesa. Al llegar nos saludaron y nos llevaron a nuestra mesa reservada. Estaba muy lleno, pero el personal era genial y mi esposa y yo tuvimos la tortilla y patatas fritas. Mi hermano tenía gambas. Todos disfrutamos de la comida que yo describiría como una buena cocina estándar pub.

We ate here several nights and was not disappointed the food was excellent portion very large, we would have preferred smaller portions so as not to leave uneaten food on the plates.

Traditional bar with enough variety of seating for pub grub. Good service, and local friendly atmosphere. Good menu with some 'specials'

We had a family get together lunch here and arrived pretty hungry and looking forward to a substantial pub lunch. We weren't disappointed, the food was excellent, with large portions and well cooked. In particular the faggots, homemade pies and chicken were all very enjoyable. All in all a lovely occasion with very good food.

We took quite a large party for Saturday lunch we were very pleased with the food and service.We had four children with us and they were well catered for.The play area is useful attraction as they played quite merrily.The varied food was excellent with hot plates,I would certainly recommend the fish pie which had lashing of fish in it.Our party came away very satisfied,I would certainly recommend and will go again.

Stopped off for a drink here. Lovely warm welcome in this dog friendly pub. Offers a traditional home cooked menu for lunch.
