Swan in Wychavon

EDIT: after the change of management/buyout. This place has really improved. Good is amazing, bit expensive, but arguably worth it. Coffee and cake is also a nice touch for a little pop in. OLD: Pretty awful experience, all good microwaved (until hard or over cooked) nothing available on the menu. Not likely to return, wouldn’t recommend.

I went for Sunday lunch the other day with my dogs. The dog friendly area is great. I had the prawn &crayfish cocktail followed by the pork loin with trimmings & veg. All of it was delicious i asked for extra gravy & crackling which wasn’t a problem. Everything tasted lovely & the service was great. I will definitely be returning.

Party of 10 well looked after by Keiran.

Delicious meals, beautifully presented and extremely attentive waiting staff, especially Kieran. Much nicer than your pub chains, will definitely be back!

We had dinner here yesterday, having been here in the past , it has recently reopened. It’s a beautiful bar/restaurant. The service was amazing, and the food was honestly delicious. 10 put of 10 , I had the blade of beef , it was tender and so tasty . I really would highly recommend the Swan at Marin Hussingtree … Thankyou

Called in for lunch On a Tuesday. Service was great and the food, fantastic. Steak offer is very good value too. Will defo be back soon

Popped in for a slow meal and read my book, in the corner, near the radiator :-), Really well cared for by the staff. Fab coffee (seasonal pumpkin spice latte), rich tomato/basil soup-of-the-day, Old Mout berries and cherries cider, veggie fish 'n chips (beer battered halloumi with all the usual trimmings. Brilliant.

An absolutely lovely breakfast. Great value, beautifully presented.

Steak night for 2 - excellent meal. Steak cooked perfectly. Had the Eton Mess & Creme Brulee. Delicious. Staff very welcoming & lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

Our first visit and would definitely go again. It was a busy Sunday lunch service but despite this food was served fresh and hot. Slight delay in getting food to everyone in our party (there was 9 of us) but considering the group size and time of day the delay wasn't a big issue. Nice relaxed atmosphere with no feeling of being rushed etc. Would recommend.

Food was very tasty and service was great

Had a great time here with a large group celebrating a birthday. Our waiter Kyran was very kind and attentive.

We were in a hurry but Rach pulled out all the stops with the chef who slotted us in with some delicious quick food. Thanks.

Came to the swan in Martin Hussingtree for a birthday meal with my family. The staff were very attentive and there was a lovely atmosphere.

Lovely lunch catching up with an old friend. Calm atmosphere

A friendly place to meet up for lunch. Good choice of food.

We just called in for a couple of drinks friendly staff clean and tidy

We had a beautiful lunch. We went in with a big ask of needing a super quick lunch turnaround. Rach was fantastic and straight on it, asked the chef what he could accommodate and got us sat down, fed and watered and out the door on time with a lovely smile, happy atmosphere and some great food and drink! We'll be back. Thank you.

A bit disappointing, after the social media hype for this place & certainly not great value for the standard of food received. For example, Duck should be served with a crispy outer skin & the meat still pink & this most definitely wasn’t anywhere near.

Breakfast good, except sausage were too thick.

Had fabulous meal here with my sisters and enjoyed every mouthful staff very friendly and helpful would recommend it definitely go there again

Val & I had a lovely meal at the Swan today 17 th Oct 2024 Kyran made us most welcome looked after us & food was delicious , we both had the chicken breast with veg . Thank you.

I love the steak nights here and it's my new go to place for quality and affordability.

The food was terrible the Sunday roast meat was all undercooked and chewy the vegetables were under cooked

Popped in here last night for the first time since Marstons sold it. And wow, it is the complete opposite to how it used to be, warm and friendly service and the food was really really good. We were looked after by a lovely guy called Kieran who had a cute smile. There were other staff on duty who were also lovely. I came in with my parents after a very difficult day and none of us could be bothered to cook. We were not disappointed. We will definitely be visiting again soon hopefully 😊

Table for 6 for a long overdue family reunion. Between us we ordered five different mains, which were all excellent. I have never eaten anywhere where there was such willingness and ability to adapt the menu to be gluten free for one of us with coeliac disease. The staff were efficient and incredibly friendly and attentive. The service was great. Very definitely worth every one of five stars

1st visit since makeover,Lunch club very reasonable tasty hot & quick to arrive, lovely staff friendly etc,will be back soon

Fantastic steak night, 16oz steak £16 wow, cooked to perfection

Food was the best me and my family have ever had ! The steak, Seafood pie and Duck breast were to die for ! Great service staff were amazing ! We Will definitely be back ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had lunch at The Swan and would thoroughly recommend giving it a try. The chicken caesar salad was exceptional. Friendly helpful staff who took the trouble to find out some local information for us, and the decor and overall atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed lunch or evening meal. We are definitely going back for their Christmas menu. Thank you staff at The Swan for making us feel so welcome.

Food and service was so good last week I decided to take my team out for a well deserved treat . Well Dan and the team certainly did us proud . Steaks were amazing and excellent service yet again my guys really enjoyed the night . 10/10 definitely a must for the £1 per ounce deal Monday and Tuesday. Haven’t had such a beautiful steak in ages . Well done guys, what a turn around you’ve made .

Visited on a steak promo evening. Had the 10 oz panacha cap very nice indeed.

Dropped in, as heard Wyvern FM ads about it being independent, but not filled with hope because of previous encounters. Wow!!!! This is exceptional. Food was perfect throughout, service sensational and it is so nice throughout!! It takes something special to make me go to Google reviews, and this is!!!

Nice decor, friendly staff but food was overpriced and rubbish. £16 for a flat burger and burnt bun with a sad and pointless salad of two lettuce leaves and the grim centre of an under ripe tomato. Batter on the fish was soggy and underdone. £8.50 for a kid's meal easily one of the most expensive I've seen. Guys, you can't price your menu like this and bring out food like that!

Went on bank holiday Monday and thought it would be fairly busy, it was not. There was hardly anyone in the pub but that didn't mean that the service was any quicker! We seemed to have been forgotten about and the service was extremely slow. Had the £1 an ounce steak and the food was alright. Asked if we could have some more sauce for the steak and was categorically told no as the kitchen was closing (very poor customer service if you ask me!). After we asked for this, one of the members of staff then took a pint of beer into the kitchen for the chef (so he was still there). Food wasn't too disappointing but customer service and price has really let the place down. I won't be returning.

We went for breakfast although the food was nice the toast was like cardboard and the bacon was over cooked but everything else was lovely despite running out of beans lol the staff were lovely and great with my toddler.

Four of us had the ounce/steak menu. Three very good, one only spoiled by the line of inedible gristle. Mentioned to the waitress, who, after consultation with the chef, removed it from the bill. Only downsides were the long and unnecessary wait for a second beer and £2.50 for a glass of lime cordial and water! PS. Please check your spelings and punctuation (sauces, not saucers and wrongly used or placed apostrophes). The only thing that was unprofessional.

I had a lovely meal at The Swan on Saturday night. The food and service was excellent.

We had such high hopes with new owners, a refit and an apparent emphasis on fresh food. But it’s just not done very well here. We’ve had two disappointing meals, including the Sunday roast, both expensive and both just not up to scratch. The roast was so salty, roast potatoes were tough and veg had clearly been waiting around a while. At £20 it needs to be better, especially with another pub close by charging similar and offering far better food. The menu is ambitious but sadly the delivery isn’t up to it.

Please could you light up your car park. It is too dark to navigate to your vehicle safely. Thank you

Very friendly staff and wonderful food. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

Generally an excellent experience, however on this occasion we all had steaks from the £1/ounce menu. It was disappointing to say the least. The staff are very good, polite and attentive. We have dined here on many occasions and always enjoyed our meals, we will be back again but probably not for a steak.

Lovely food but a bit pricey for the surroundings which need updating.

Our 1st visit since the revamp and new owners. Very nice light bright decor plenty of parking and the food was delicious and plenty of choice, we will certainly be back thoroughly enjoyed it

Nicely refurbished in a contemporary style. Felt very open and airy, not crammed in. Sunday roast was good with generous portions but quite expensive at £19. Well worth a visit.

Since the new ownership this place has done from 4 stars to 1 star. If I could give it less I would. AWFUL food, pizza looked like an Aldi cheap pizza. Mash was like pure water, gravy was also like pure water, veg hard and undercooked & pea’s were the most rancid either frozen or tinned peas I’ve ever tasted. When asked to thicken the gravy was told they couldn’t as it was home made gravy… home made yet they didn’t have anything to make gravy with… The menu is very expensive for what it is, the refurb makes the place look like a care home & they definitely need a new chef after that shambles of a meal. Won’t be returning again, won’t be recommending to anyone. All I would say is avoid this place. What once was a nice pub with good reasonably priced food is now probably the worse place in Worcester. Such a shame.

Always lovely at the swan for lunch. Nice food, friendly attentive staff and have never had to wait too long for food to arrive.

1st time we’ve back in years and I’ve got to say we were pleasantly surprised food was really good and the staff were were great

Amazing roast dinner which comes with extra gravy (a must) and HUGE portions. Meat was juicy and tasted so fresh!! 100% recommend :)) The staff are so lovely too always checking on you! I enjoyed a cold drink in the sun after in the big garden with the sun shining down.

Lovely guy serving couldn't do enough but a small burger and a few fries for nearly 17quid no way

Called in for a family meal, 2 of us had fish finger sandwiches, a child's sausage 'n' mash and a fish 'n' chips meal. The food was good, hot and we didn't have to wait long. The service was good and attentive. No room for desserts today, sadly!! The carpark is ample and when we visited there were lots of spaces available. Thank you 😊

Food was outstanding. Service was excellent 👌 we will be back

Expensive food and missed the chicken off the one meal, but a pleasant place.

Popped in 'early doors' for a bite to eat. Had the seafood sharing platter, which we enjoyed, bread was a little dry, but didn't detract from the seafood. The king prawns were huge! After we had finished our meal, I did ask if we could have lemon wipes to clean our hands, those were apparently not available, but the waitress very kindly bought us a bowl of water each with a lemon wedge in it plus serviettes. As I said, it was early and there were very few people, so it did lack a little atmosphere. Will certainly be back, bit maybe try a little later, as do like to have somewhere with atmosphere. The staff were very pleasant, early days but hope the pub does well.

turned up with friends at 915pm on a wednesday only to be told they were closing early, even though sign outside says open till 11pm, the excuse they had not been busy. also, they could not tell us if they would close early next week as well

Breakfast was ok but far too expensive,

What a stunning pub they have a coffee and cake area as well as lovely restaurant. We have always had great service at the swan. Please give them a visit.

Having seen the pub/restaurant had a 3.8 rating I wondered what was in store. Once we’d finished an absolutely first class meal I wondered why The Swan didn’t have a 5 Star rating? It appears that The Swan is now under new ownership and the not so positive ratings related to the previous regime. The team of Matt, Delilah and Alice ensured we had a superb meal on a Monday night - Steak Night. I’m not one given to exaggeration, but the ‘medium to well done’ rump steak was succulent and cooked to perfection. The other meal - that of the beef burger - was above and beyond expectations, with a combination of chorizo and spicy Nduja jam taking the culinary delights to a whole new level. We’d only given The Swan a try as it was en-route to home after a visit to the South West. It’ll be a different proposition in future as we’ll go out of our way to return - especially on Steak Nights of either Monday and Tuesday or, who knows, maybe even both. Thoroughly and highly recommended, the only downside being we don’t the place to be fully booked next time we want to dine!

the waiter tony greeted us outstandingly with a huge smile and a friendly approach. The food was amazing. hats off to the chef. will definitely be back soon. 👌🏼

Lovely Sunday roast. Friendly service.

Staff so lovely, couldn’t do enough even got treats and water for our dog. Food was lovely

Food is nice but way too expensive for what it is. The bar and serving staff are amazing, However the atmosphere is like an old people’s home unfortunately. It’s a 4/10 for me personally.

Lovely staff. An hour wait between starter and main. No condiments or water on the table. Fish dish overcooked. Bones in chicken breast?????. It was Father's Day but not full. Service charge added to the bill when it was discretionary. Removed in request.

Excellent service and food. very friendly staff. very impressed with the overall pub nice to see staff making sure glasses were clean. Made a change from some recent pub visits in the area

Best breakfast I've ever had and staff lovely

After reading previous reviews was a little reluctant to try the swan but so glad we did excellent food lovely friendly staff an experience we will be definitely repeating thankyou swan at martin hussentree

Lovely evening! Food was excellent as was the service, will definitely be back!

Great food and service, nice to have a playpark for the children too.

Excellent food and beer well kept

Closed at 6.15pm on the sunniest hottest day of the year despite their Google listing stating it’s open until 10pm on a Sunday, main pub sign saying ‘open all day everyday’, and the chalk board outside we walked past saying serving food until 8.45pm. Worst thing is a manager said nothing as did his paperwork at the bar 4 feet way when clearly we were waiting to be served drinks - totally ignored us and left a waitress to come over to announce they were shut despite the advertised hours. Thought we’d walk to this local to give local business support….they are doomed if they can’t get the basics right.

Unfortunately, wife's steak overcooked, wrong chips/fries bought with steak sandwiches. Also, if the meat in the sandwiches were any colder, it would've been frozen.. No sugar free Pepsi/Pepsi max as I’m diabetic, didn’t leave a lot of choice to drink. £250 for a disappointing visit. This was our second visit as I always like to give the benefit of the doubt.. Shame as the Anchor is so good...

Fantastic great food and service

Fantastic day out , even better food and presentation. The food portions were really good would recommend coming again .

Went a few weeks ago the whole experience was terrible only got offered one drink .. food was terrible and so expensive for what we had ..1st and last time

We called in this morning 16th at about 10.15 with our little dog Colin. It’s fantastic now they’ve got a dog friendly designated area - and we ordered the full English breakfast. It was absolutely fantastic - beautiful thick bacon, sausages, fried eggs etc. Will definitely be returning again and the staff were so friendly and helpful 🐾💕

Absolute shocking, they advertise dog friendly but there ain’t nothing friendly about it, no water bowl, no water offered or little doggy treats etc you put in a little corner out the way, food was absolute tragic the beef dry, veg cold and a chicken ceaser salad coming with anchovies when it’s not advertised with them, luckily I noticed and didn’t participate in eating any of it due to a fish allergy. When questioned about the salad it was clear the member of staff didn’t have a clue Definitely won’t be returning

Food, very disappointing.. starter- my friends chicken was undercooked! My other friend had watery prawn cocktail I shared Camembert with another friend which was nice! Mains- fish pie that was tasteless. Vegetable tart didn’t look / taste very appetising. Veg was cold. Burger was ok but not much for money We didn’t have pudding as the starter and main was not very good Definitely not worth the price! Servicing staff were really nice, and tried to resolve the issue. Will not be going back!

Just had breakfast, so polite service with nice atmosphere, so clean and comfortable, and food was perfect , definitely use alot

Under new management, we had a lovely breakfast here. Service is great and the new decor is lovely. Fantastic, will come again

Dreadful seafood pie. Had to search around for anything resembling fish. Mash was watery and tasteless. At over £18 it was an immense disappointment. Staff were nowhere to be seen and constantly had to remind them to bring cutlery to all courses. The place was not busy by any stretch of the imagination. Not a patch on the Anchor. Will not rebook!

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch with the family 2 weeks ago. Reasonable prices and excellent good. Great news that this pub has reopened as an independent small group.

Don’t usually leave review about food but I paid £9 for a beef sandwich and it was the worst meal I’ve had out in a while. The bread on the menu says bloomer bread nope it was a cheap loaf. The beef was 50% fat and gristle and it was grey. I was expecting thinly cut beef that was tender and juicy what I got was just horrible, luckily the dog had a nice dinner int he evening.

We came here for a Sunday lunch, as a group of three. We didnt book, the restaurant was very busy but we were accepted. The service was on point and our food came out really quick, hot and tasty.

Visited The Swan for the first time in about 3 years and the first visit since it changed ownership. The decor inside the pub is really lovely as well as the beer garden. A good play area for the kids, which our 2 year old thoroughly enjoyed. The food was good quality and we left feeling really full. I was delightfully surprised to see cakes on sale as soon as we walked in, so we were already planning for dessert! The only drawback to the experience, and what stopped the 5 stars, was the amount of litter in the car park, e.g bottles dumped on the verges. Otherwise, a highly recommended place!

Went for breakfast and the sausages were not cooked properly. They were cooked one side and pink the other side. Apart from that the breakfast was ok. However, where we sat in the middle of the restaurant, the table we had rocked every time you leant on it due to uneven floor. All the tables where we were all had napkins and beer mats under them and had to do the same with our table. Not exactly professional. It was also cold with a chill in the air with a draft to the point we had to put our coats back on. We were asked at the end what we thought of the place and told them the above.

Really lovely friendly staff. Ordered the special which was chicken liver pate and skirt steak for £19.99 for myself. My daughter ordered the sausage and mash. Food was outstanding. Highly recommend this place. What a turn around

Lovely to see this place open again! We called in for hot drink and cake and it didn't disappoint. Staff were helpful and friendly. Lots of seating,comfy seats by the fire(will be toasty in the winter) and various size tables and seats. The evening menu looked fab...can't wait to book and try the hot food!

I went last week ,waited for meal ,after 30 minutes I found a waitress ,meal came 10 minutes later, food was good staff pleasant

After the recent makeover, The Swan Pub in Martin Hussingtree now boasts an inviting decor with modern tables and furnishings. This fresh appearance, however, contrasts starkly with our service experience, which was disappointingly subpar. We visited on a seemingly quiet Sunday, post-rush hour, to find the ambiance calm and staff visibly available around the bar. Despite this, our arrival went unacknowledged in what appeared to be a waiting area, leaving us to approach the bar ourselves for seating and service. Initially, our drinks were served promptly, setting a promising tone that, regrettably, did not extend to our meal service. It took over 50 minutes for our two dishes to arrive. During our wait, we were informed of a shortage of roast potatoes—20 minutes into our already prolonged wait—with mash or new potatoes offered as alternatives. Even then, our meals took an additional half hour to be served. Given the premium price of £21 per Sunday meal, the quality, though slightly above average, did not meet our expectations, particularly given the limited Sunday menu which implied pre-preparation. The apparent lack of initiative from the staff to offer any form of compensation for the delays, such as complimentary soft drinks, further compounded our dissatisfaction considering our drinks were empty when they informed us of the lack of potatoes. Our experience was further marred by observing other diners who arrived after us receive their meals sooner. This inconsistency in service made us feel overlooked. The conclusion of our visit saw us seeking out staff at the bar to pay, due to a lack of attentive service at our table. In summary, while the food at The Swan can be described as pleasantly decent, its value is diminished by its price and the significant letdown of the service. An expected wait time of 50 minutes not only detracts from the dining experience but leaves a lingering disappointment. Despite the potential for a memorable meal, the service failures are too significant to overlook, resulting in a 2-star rating. This establishment demonstrates that even with quality ingredients, the overall experience can be soured by inadequate service and attention to detail. Despite this experience, we were open to giving The Swan another chance, hoping our visit was an exception rather than the norm. However, it’s worth noting that we had been forewarned by friends about the potential for slow service, particularly regarding wait times for food. This preexisting knowledge tempers our optimism with a measure of caution.

Can't really rate it as we didn't stay. Only went for a light lunch but as a vegetarian I found the menu too restricted. However, it's the first time I've been since it's had its makeover and I'm probably alone in saying that I didn't really like it. I thought they'd destroyed the atmosphere.

We were a bit concerned having read some of the recent reviews but our experience was excellent. A warm welcome from our waitress and we selected the fish sharing platter which was excellent

A very disappointing experience. I had high hopes for ‘the best’ seafood pie, which was bland, watery and flavourless when it arrived - with the supposed saffron mashed potato also tasting of nothing. My dad ordered the ox cheek pie, which was the smallest pie I’d ever seen with two tiny pieces of (very tough) meat, two tiny mushrooms, a bit of gravy, wrapped in suet the size of a small burger bun. It was clear the meat was not ox cheek and had not been braised for 18 hours, as stated on the menu. Considering both meals were around £19 each, it was not what we expected at all. The staff swapped our food for fish and chips which my brother had ordered, but this was greasy and average at best, again around £18. For three portions of fish and chips and 4 drinks - the bill came to £93, with no discount/apology offered, even after complaining. After enjoying several meals at the Anchor in Worcester, we had hoped it would be lovely here, but would definitely not recommend.

Don't bother! The fish pie was tasteless and the brocoli was barely warm. The chips were luke warm. The lovely girl who served our food said she would ask someone to come and take our drinks order. I saw her ask one of the many staff behind the bar but no-one came. Eventually someone came to collect our plates by which time my husband had gone to pay. Can't believe the lack of service when the staff were falling over each over behind the bar!

Very disappointed after having a great experience at the anchor. Service was poor, we asked for more drinks when our food was delivered and were told someone would come and take an order, but they did not. No one came to ask if our meals were ok until long after we had finished. There were however numerous staff stood behind the bar doing very little and only about 6 tables full so little excuse for being ignored. Fish pie was bland, chips were cold with other meals. We would have spent more and had dessert and additional drinks if we had received anything near good service, instead we were in and out in an hour.

Unfortunately left very disappointed! Was really excited to visit the Swan under its new management especially as we have always really enjoyed the Anchor but sadly we didn’t have a good experience at all. The service was poor, I know it’s newly opened but the waitresses lacked knowledge or enthusiasm barely cracked a smile. Service was slow and non attentive. After our first drinks order we didn’t have another as no one came back to check in or even to find out how our food was. Secondly the availability for gluten free was very poor. There was no separate menu but I was told most dishes could be made gluten free to find out when I ordered that I could only actually have a burger with a GF bun which I didn’t really want. To add to that when it came out I checked with the waitress if it was GF as she didn’t notify my and she was unsure. So I then had to get up to go and find the manager to get her to check before eating it. At which point after it having being returned to the kitchen for checks it was then cold. Finally the plates of food were very underwhelming. Poorly presented and lacking considering the price we were paying. Portions were pretty small and plates just filled with chips nothing else to appeal like seen it pictures and suggested on the menus. A real shame, as was looking forward to Droitwich having a nice pub with good food. Let’s hope it’s just some teething problems.

Very expensive and the food was flavourless. Service was slow and food was slow. £50 for a glass of wine, soft drink, sandwich plus chips and two children’s meals.

An all round average meal, newly taken over by an amazing restaurant in Worcester City. Only offered one drink, staff didn’t know what the meals were, plates for steak and burger lacked presentation. Steak however was cooked incredibly, portion size on the fish and chips was brilliant. Options for allergens were available however didn’t receive a menu for it, waitress said tell me what you want and I will ask if it can be gluten free. Has potential foot a little pricey for the presentation, just felt it could have offered more and service needs to be improved

Nice refurb, food and drink options are decent. Kid friendly and a good atmosphere. Service was pretty good - food came out relatively quickly despite it being busy. Only slight complaint on that, after the initial drinks, no one ever came to take another drinks order. However the main reason this doesn’t get 5 stars is the cheeseboard - £12 was horrendously overpriced. Small amount of cheese that looked like a child had prepared it. That being said, everything else was good enough for me to want to go back.

Had a great Sunday roast lunch with my son and daughter-in-law this weekend. Tastefully refurbished, good service by friendly staff. We will be back soon.

I was really excited when I found out who was taking over the Swan as the food Anchor is exceptional ! Went for breakfast today, it was absolutely delicious ! Finally a great place to eat near Droitwich ! Highly recommend 🥰 will be back soon !
