The Bell Inn in Wychavon

We booked Sunday lunch after reading reviews on here & we weren’t disappointed. My Wife thinks it’s over 12 months since she enjoyed a Sunday lunch out. Jayne was rushed off her feet, bless her, but attended to everyone in turn & never lost her polite composure. We both enjoyed the roast beef dinner with 7 different vegetables, all cooked to perfection, with Yorkshire pudding to boot. The portion was large enough that we were able to plunder our plates to save a dinner for our very well behaved dog for later. Jayne even gave us some extra gravy for the dog’s dinner. We then enjoyed the damson crumble with custard and I had their home made rum & raisin ice cream. With 2 drinks each & under £55, well impressed & will visit again when in the area.

Myself and my girlfriend visited for some food which was of exceptional quality. Along with the food we found the atmosphere to be so friendly and welcoming. Live music was also a pleasant suprise. We seriously can’t recommend this place enough. I wish Jane and Andre the very best for the future and thank them for such a pleasant experience.

Called in as three non bookers on a Friday evening in the hope of getting a table .No problem, and we sat in a charming conservatory at the rear of the building. We all ordered different dishes, including a very nice sharing starter of olives and dipping bread .All of which were well presented and delicious. Quality products cooked by someone who obviously knew what they were doing. Staff so attentive and our waitress in particular was a joy to interact with, so friendly and accommodating. We all thoroughly enjoyed our experience, and would have no hesitation in recommending The Cropthorne Bell , to a anyone looking for excellent food and first class service.

We came across this pub by chance when we visited the Flower Fields at Pershore & this pub was just a 5-10 minute drive away. Inside the pub is a mix of old & new. The main pub area has bags of olde worldy charm whereas the conservatory/dining area has modern features & allows for far more natural light. Although there was only one man serving we did not have to wait too long for our food which was of an exceptionally high standard. The menu was small but varied and included steak, scallops, cod & home made burgers as well as chef specials of the day. The medium rare sirloin steak I had was cooked to perfection. If ever I found myself in this neck of the woods again I would have no hesitation in returning to this pub for food & drinks.

You will receive a very warm welcome from Jane, pub landlady. The menu is enticing and the quality of food is outstanding, cooked by chef Andre. Don't be put off by the rather underwhelming exterior. This is a superb restaurant.

I cannot recommend this brilliant pub enough. We had an exceptional meal to celebrate my 50th birthday. The food, service and hospitality were second to none and all 12 of us absolutely loved our afternoon. The service was attentive but not in your face, and Jane and her team couldn't have worked harder before the day, during our time there and after. Nothing was too much trouble. What a gem! Thankyou!

We have driven past the Bell many times on our way to somewhere, so today we decided to stop and check it out. What a delight ! A wonderfully warm reception; a new drink produced locally; and an excellent lunch whilst they catered for a local club’s AGM. They could not have been more helpful with my lady’s allergy requirements. We will most definitely be back. Already looking to this Sunday’s lunch. Amazing what we can discover under our nose xxx

Just a quick update to my review from April: The Cropthorne Bell is still awesome. I was lucky to find them open on a Monday, catering for another group, so I booked in and took a couple of friends who appreciate a good pub meal. Food was amazing as usual - the calves' liver enjoyed by one of my friends was excellent, a couple of us had the veal, which was done to perfection, and my partners home-made burger was also great. I started with some rollmop herrings, which were fabulous. The single ale was perfectly kept, and there was an excellent selection of ciders. Nice to see they're still maintaining high standards!

We were looking for a decent place to eat near Evesham on a Friday evening. Having looked at Trip Advisor we decided to try The Cropsthorne Bell. What a happy choice. Lovely cosy pub and Jane and staff were so friendly and welcoming. The beer was good and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. Definitely a place to revisit.

I came here with my Polish partner a while ago for his first roast. This was also my first roast here and it was delightful. We brought my miniature dachshund along and we felt very accommodated. Highly recommend. We will be back for more x

Excellent hosts - they are very knowledgable about any dietary needs. We’ve been able to relax knowing that coeliacs are well catered for.

Fabulous fresh food and huge portions! Wonderful welcome from Jane for our impromptu bank holiday Monday lunch we will definitely be returning!

I must say, I'm posting this review reluctantly: I don't want The Bell to get too busy, because I will definitely be back. The food is excellent, in a whole different league to regular pub fayre. If it wasn't so plentiful, robust, and unfussy, I'd say it was a "gastronomic experience" - but that kinda language is for places with fancy hipster staff and too many coffee choices. The Bell appears as a regular country locals pub, but it disguises the master (Andre) at work behind the scenes. His unfussy style of cooking, with superb local ingredients, really sets this place apart from - well - pretty much any other country pub I've been to for AGES... and I've been to a LOT. I had Scallops to start - one of my favourite seafoods - and so easy to get wrong. I'm regularly disappointed in the little rubbery defrosted nuggets usually served: However, these were excellent! Fresh, soft, delicate, and cooked to perfection. My partner went for the duck to start, which was fantastic: Delicately smoked, and very tasty - and served with a salad featuring local Cob Nuts. For main, she chose the Bream, sourced from Brixton via the epic Birmingham fish market. The quality showed, and it was a cracking bit of fish. I had the Mousakka: Again, something that many places don't get quite right (even the Greeks!) - in my murky past, I worked for a Greek Cypriot Chef who was an absolute master at good solid Greek home cooking - but he has ruined my experience of Greek food ever since (especially in the UK) by raising the bar to a very high standard. Happily, The Bell has met with my pretentious love of Greek cuisine and produced the best Mousakka I've had since Mike's. The staff (especially Jane) are wonderfully welcoming, and the single cask ale very well kept. There's a fabulous cask cider as well! Decor is very much old-school country locals pub, so there's not much room for that Michelin star anyway. Who needs one of those when everything is just spot on. Yep, will definitely be back! If the quality of ingredients is consistent, it's got to be steak next time...

Visited The Cropthorne Bell for the first time today with my wife and daughter. We popped in with the intention of having a quick bite to eat-but ended up staying for 2 hours and having starters, mains and desserts-drinks and coffee! Was the best Sunday roast we have had in a pub for years-Andre clearly cares about the food he prepares and serves-so much attention to detail-my wife is GF-and they were really accommodating-serving GF mint sauce, mustard + Yorkshire Puds Nut Roast etc, Coffee served in proper cafetière-Apparently Andre has worked around the world as a chef-and it is absolutely evident in the delicious food served. Jane was super friendly and attentive from the 1st minute-thank you very much both! We live in Brum but will definitely make the effort to come back! Rob, Jen n Lil x

We visited The Bell Inn on Saturday evening for dinner. My partner had the pigeon starter and I had the pork belly. The portions were generous and the food delightful as well as well priced. We were well received by the hosts, The Bell has a welcoming atmosphere even live music! It’s a shame that there were few people in that night, I would definitely recommend a visit.

After our first trip today we already can't wait to go back! The service is fabulous and the couple who run the pub are lovely. We couldn't fault the service or food and really enjoyed the experience with our family and little one. The pub feels homely and cosy, a proper traditional pub. As a gluten free diner the service for this was refreshing, they make you feel reassured and can offer nearly everything gluten free as they make everything fresh. They recommend booking in and are even happy to take requests! We would highly recommend and can't wait to go back soon for a Sunday lunch next time.

We've been to the zbell Inn infrequently, I'm afraid to say but yesterday realised what we been missing. Great, friendly service, fantastic Sunday lunch too. We won't leave it so long next time!

Visited this pub first day of our holiday. Lovely character pub with friendly staff, locals and landlady. Excellent piping hot food. The potted shrimp starter was devine. Booked again and hope to have room for dessert next time. If you are in the area pop in you won't be disappointed.

My Sister in Law and Brother live in California but despite the distance they had found this wonderful gastropub local to us and bought us a gift voucher to use at the Bell. Lovely reception when we arrived and we were looked after by Jane's (one of owners) daughter who was excellent and attentive. We had the scallops to start and pheasant as main course. The chef is very talented (we assume Andre) and the music mix seemed to have been chosen especially for us. So often music is too loud or intrusive (this wasn't) and we found ourselves trying to remember who made the music famous and when. On leaving we met Jane and Andre who have an excellent flexible business with quality food, beautifully cooked at a very attractive price. You really should try it !

I live close to Bristol and was looking for a pub for lunch on a Monday for a small gathering following a funeral near Evesham. The Bell at Cropthorne had very good food reviews so I called the pub and spoke to Jane. Although not normally open on a Monday at this time of year, Jane very kindly agreed to open up for us. We had an excellent lunch – the food was exceptional (my choice, fish and chips and rhubarb crumble, fantastic) and very reasonably priced. Our hosts Jane and Andre could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. I really wish this was my local. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Excellent meals with all the trimmings,sauces and a freshly cooked beef burger to taste perfectly medium rare Also I fish and chips with both peas and mushy peas... £10 per meal,no quibble re rap water Kind staff

Couldn't fault, lovely pub and atmosphere. Friendly and lovely staff. Chef and owner ( presume) rustled up an incredible vegan casserole from other vegan options - first class food full of goodness. Thank you!

The bell has a great atmosphere . The ladies behind the bar and serving were so friendly and helpful .. really great feeling. .. The food was fab. The first steak I have ever eaten even slightly pink .. it was so tasty .. the apple pie was really delicious tasty homemade . We will go back .

We had an evening meal at The Bell while staying in an Air bnb nearby. Jane was was a brilliant host being very attentive to dietary requirements and making us feel very welcome. The menu was very comprehensive and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. There was a log fire which was very welcome on a cold wet December evening. There were puzzle books available and we enjoyed doing word searches.

Excellent sunday lunch...warm cosy atmosphere, made welcome, as usual..very enjoyable, and very competitive prices

We haven't been able to visit the Bell for some time but when we had lunch there today.. Excellent!Usual warm welcome from Jane Andre and staff, the parsnio soup was delicious, together with the pheasantAndre's pate is so tasty.with ample toast to accompany it. My speciality dish is Moussaka, but I have met my match in Andres!.For a real treat, try the Turkish delight ice cream.We enjoy well cooked and interesting fiod.Andre never lets us down.

Been numerous times since we found this little gem about 9 months ago. Excellent home cooked food, I emphasise the home cooked, because you can easily tell the difference. Tasty, flavoursome, plentiful, good food, with attentive staff. I cant understand though why this place is not packed. When you see other pubs localish, very busy, most of the time, and this is not, it is a shame. It deserves to be busy, because the venue, food, and service, is great. My only advice would be to make the outside more appealing for passing cars, large colourful flower pots, for example, as this might help getting people through the doors.

Freshly cooked food, large portions, from a varied menu with the chef's own twist on the individual dishes. Delicious food in pleasant surroundings served by friendly staff.

Dropped in on the off chance we could get a table, it was my husbands birthday, when we walked in we were met with a smiley face we noticed the tables were reserved, but were quickly given a table towards the back of the pub, the staff were very attentive and we were given 3 menu's, the choice was great we could choose from snacks to full main courses, we both chose steak which came with all the trimmings and cooked just how we wanted it, the meal was very tasty and a good portion, it was also hot, we both enjoyed it , after a short break we decided to have dessert, I had homemade apple pie with custard( which definitely was) my husband had sticky toffee pudding with ice-cream he enjoyed it so much he is still talking about it now, the surroundings made you feel comfortable almost like being at home, my husband is disabled and the facilities were great for his needs and being a smoker there was a seating area outside that you could use if needed, will be going back soon to try out the Sunday lunch highly recommended

Went here yesterday with my wife & a friend. The young lady who was serving was very nice, helpful & attentive. The food however was disappointing with steak tasteless & well done when we had asked for medium rare. There was a garlic paste on the salad with it ,which overwhelmed all other flavours on the plate . We were offered free sweets because of the poor steaks & the cheeseboard we had was excellent.

There is a great selection of food here, perfectly cooked by Andre.

Came here with my parents as it’s there local. Was a lovely welcoming atmosphere, plenty of options to drink, lovely food. The owners are so lovely and friendly. Can’t wait to come again 😁 x

Me and my husband had a lovely meal here Jane was the best wine list you could ask for and andre is a fabulous chef the food is beautiful and live music to finish a great nite will be back soon ..Paula x John x

We had been visiting the Karndean showroom in Evesham and wanted somewhere close by for Sunday lunch. Jane the landlady was friendly, helpful and nothing was too lunch trouble. Great selection of meats and seasonal vegetable cooked to perfection. Our daughter said her gammon was the best she’d ever had. What more could you want.

After reading lots of good reviews on the Sunday lunch we decided to book here last minute. When booking the table the lady on the phone was very lovely and polite. We had the beef roast where the beef was beautiful, cooked to your liking. However there was the smallest veg portion that you had to share between two full of soggy over cooked veg, you got two roast potatoes each and a Burnt Yorkshire pudding. There seemed to be a drunken regular at the bar having a drink who came across rather intoxicated at 4.30 in the afternoon, being quite mouthy at times. Rather disappointing experience overall

A true Gastro-Pub. We visited on New Years Day, found a friendly welcome and a delicious varied menu with real ales and locally sourced produce. The crab ravioli was a great combination of flavours, the pheasant wellington with port was rich and tasty and both the fillet and sirloin steaks were cooked perfectly rare. Sadly we were too full to try the desserts but plan to return.

As busy teachers we thought a long walk and a nice drink with family would be a pleasure. Met with a snappy , stressed lady who made us feel most uncomfortable . Not only were we made to feel uncomfortable but hearing how stressed she was with everyone was off putting, including her being rude to staff ! Not a family place which is a shame , as we would have returned as couples only if it had been enjoyable .

Last year my husband and I called in at The Bell for lunch on the way home to Derby from Stratford. It was a last minute decision and on pulling up in the car park to be fair I expected an average type of pub meal. How wrong could I have been the choice of food was amazing. I had homemade Cullen Skink with French bread which was to die for followed by scallops with lemon and parsley. The scallops were the freshest and plumpest I have ever tasted and were cooked to perfection. My husband had chicken sandwiches made from a freshly cooked chicken breast. Jane the landlady was very cordial, extremely friendly and could not do enough for us and I was surprised to find out that she was just about to close the pub for the afternoon when we walked in.

Who knew this gem of a pub was literally 2 minutes down the road from where we live! Having had a disappointing meal several years ago when it was in different hands, we must admit that we hadn't even thought of a return visit. Boy are we glad that we did last night. There was a lovely, homely atmosphere - even though we were strangers we were treated like long lost family! The food was outstanding, all freshly cooked by a chef who obviously loved his work. We are just sad that we had wasted two years not going down the road to our now favourite eatery. Thank you so much, we cannot wait to return.

Come to this part of the country once a year, always visit this establishment at least twice while we are in the area, food is great and so is the welcome from front of house so if your in the area it's well worth a visit just make sure you leave a table for me

Called today and found this little gem of a pub with a landlady that couldnt do enough for you ,a chef that cooked a lovely sunday roast,so tasty and plenty of it at a very reasonable price.many thanks.

Just passing and called in 'on spec' for lunch on a Monday and were very pleasantly surprised. Lovely warm welcome, and nothing was too much trouble. The owners were very friendly and the food was really good. Had a Greek salad, which was huge, although only a starter, followed by the soup - fresh and home-made, delicious, with warm bread rolls. Juices from nearby Pershore college, and a good selection of beers. Definitely recommend this lovely pub, and we'll be back. Full marks for service, food and value.

We fancied going out for a light lunch but were not too sure where to go but ended up at The Bell. We had the chicken burger, an omelette and a ploughmans. All were tasty and well presented. There was a large choice on the menu and we will be going back to try some of the other options.

Called in for lunch on a hot summer Saturday. The burger was excellent, served with proper chips and a lovely fresh salad. The boss had a salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. All the food is freshly done, no hint of microwaves and portion control. Good selection of beer as well.

We had 2 evening meals at The Bell. Andre produced some excellent food and Jane was an great host, lovely to chat with. We will certainly call again if we are in the area.

Enjoyed an evening meal where the food was just perfect.

Have visited on several occasions and always thoroughly enjoy the food and hospitality. Really cater for people with special dietary requirements and get to know their clientele to remember needs. Every time we have been in seem to end up having a chat with other people in the pub which goes to show how welcoming everyone is there. The sticky toffee pudding is great and not too sweet for me. Usually find there is too much choice of starter and main course so nice to know before I get there which dessert I am having. :)

Excellent food, this is our second visit and it was as good as the first. Good service, very pleasant waitress, good value for money highly recommended.

Popped in for Sunday dinner as we were staying nearby. The landlady Jane was very attentive and helpful and the food was good. Lovely pub with a good atmosphere.

We called in on Wednesday lunch time not knowing what to expect as we had not been for many years. The landlady was very welcoming - nothing was too much trouble, the decor is good and the food was absolutely delicious. Couldn’t fault it - just wish we lived closer.

We went as a largish group of people to meet up again with Jane and Andre. The pub is great and the Sunday lunch was excellent with all the food cooked to each person's requirements. The offer was £12.95 for a large main course with smaller portions available. Plenty of meat and vegetables. We all had either a starter or dessert to accompany which at just £3 extra is great value.

The menu was very variable. We asked for steak medium and it was cooked to perfection, what more do require

Invited some old friends over for a meal and chose the Bell as it was their live music night.

It was our first time visiting ‘the bell’ & we were made welcome as soon as we arrived. The open fire is a welcoming feature too.

Having lived in the area years ago I was interested in what this pub had now become. We were not disappointed.

Really lovely pub, food excellent, choice of drinks excellent, particularly good ales Staff very attentive and helpful with local knowledge Would absolutely go again highly recommend

We have visited this inn 3 times now and every time I and my partner have been impressed with the warm welcoming atmosphere , attentive and friendly service and great food. Thankyou Jane and Andre-we will return! Tripadvisor wouldn’t let me adjust the settings but I’d rate it 5 out of 5 for service, food and value.

Stumbled across this online in whilst searching for somewhere to eat early evening in november as location is ideal for onward destination for me and a friend. Cosy place with open fire. Great to see the owners chatting with new and regular customers abd Sam at the var is very knowledgable and effcient. Excellent choice of craft and branded drinks inc soft drinks. First visit we went for Pate and thai Fishcakes from the specials. Large pot of really good homemade pate. Large portion of fishcakes with great dressing and full of flavour. Steak and Gammon were the main courses and beatuifully cooked with lots of sides inc some wonderful beer battered onion rings and heavily garlicked mushrooms. Still managed to squeeze in desserts of Crumble and Banofe pie both excellent in taste. Our return visit on 10th feb was yet again excellent all rpund and this time we both tried the Calamari with an amazing alioli. For main course we were spoilt for choice with Pheasant, Vension on the specials and seeing the gigantic fish and chips go out to another table. But we went for the Chicken burger and the Gammon. Struggled to squeeze a dessert in but the Black Forest cake was calling and i just had to go with it. Perfectly flavoured and a huge portion. Total value for money, good portions and cosy relaxed setting with great staff on duty. Thankyou and looking forward to our next visit.

A very warm welcome from the landlady plenty of seating available. Good variety of meals on the menu as well as the specials board. I had a beef burger and the chips were to die for and I’m not normally bothered with them. My mom had pork fillet in cider and apple sauce with garlic potatoes - it was stunning!

We hadn't visited since the latest couple took over - encouraged by TripAdvisor reviews. Initially the temperature was a bit chilly - sorted out very quickly by turning the heating up and starting a roaring log fire. Traditionalish pub decor with stylish paintwork and some nice decorative touches. The owners are very welcoming. The menu had both good value bar food as well as a very tempting more expensive main menu. Off the posh menu the oxtail was fantastic and the sole was top class, but let down by overcooked veggies. Plates were not hot (always a source of annoyance). Certainly good enough to be worth another visit, especially as there were many dishes we wanted to try.

Very tasty ! Good potions and all fresh cooked. No freezer ding food here. Recently changed hands and decor change . Very nice set up .

Went here last week after not going for sometime. I understand it is under new management and the hostess certainly knows her stuff. She was most welcoming and attended to our every need. The food was really excellent and we certainly will come again.

Always friendly and accommodating. Lovely food with plenty of variation with dietary requirements respected and catered for.

Living locally, we visit the local pubs for meals out on a regular basis. This is one of the pubs that we have frequented a fair few times over the years, but have to admit, that since Jane and Andre took over, this is now the one that we return to more than the others.A wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, fantastic hosts and a sympathetically renovated pub. It is clean, fresh and cosy with wonderful food.Andre is just the most superb chef - we have not had a bad meal since we have been going here, in fact most of the dishes are now all time favourites.The menu is not extensive, but there is always something that you fancy and if the dish is not quite to your taste then they adapt it to suit your palate. They have a specials menu, that uses seasonal and local produce and offers something a bit different.Highly recommend a visit - you won’t be disappointed.

Fish and chips, on a Thursday, lol. Special as usual.p.s. The new owners have only been here for 12 months, so any earlier comments are irrelevant

My wife visited the Bell with her friends and enjoyed the meal. We decided to try for sunday lunch as it had been some time since we visited the Bell. We were not disappointed, every thing from the welcome to the choice of meal was enjoyable. Good food well presented plus a good choice to drink.

Just had a lovely meal with good friends. Great food and service all for a very reasonable price too

Very pleased with our family Saturday dinner. Great service, caring owners/chef and amiable bar/waiting team. Food was very tasty across our three dinners and daughter enjoyed her crumble. Draught beer very drinkable.Keep up the good work.

Bizarrely, I'd probably give a more favourable review if the staff were less attentive. It was difficult to get a mouthful of food down between being asked if everything was ok. I'm not exaggerating when I say I was asked a dozen times if my food was ok. Aside from that, we went on a Sunday and the Sunday menu was had by all. I was told the chicken was very fatty and I don't even how you'd manage that. Nothing about the food served to me (beef) amazed or disappointed me. Decent ale selection, didn't try the wines. Enjoyed my time there to a point, but won't hurry back.

My Mum and brother were visiting the area and I promised my Mum a belated Sunday lunch. Looking for options in or around Pershore for families as I have two young children this one stood out. I was able to book a table over the phone easily enough.Upon arrival our booking was quickly confirmed and we were shown to our table, the drinks order was taken quickly and menus provided. Good beer (Purity - Mad Goose).We ordered our food all opting for Sunday roasts, they do small sizes for children and even a small adult portion which was ideal for my Mum as she's not a big eater. The kids & my Mum had chicken, and the rest of us had beef or lamb. Unusually those of us having beef or lamb were also asked as to how we wanted our meat, i.e. well done to rare, which is unusual with a roast as you usually just get it how ever it comes.The food arrived promptly and met expectations, I'd arrived feeling pretty ravenous having earlier completed the Worcester 10k Run so the three thick slices of beef along with roast spuds, roast veg and a decent yorkie were very welcomed. The roasts came with a generous bowl of veg (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and unusually chard) and some mashed swede, plenty to go around. The food was very good and filling, just what I was after!My only criticisms, and they're small ones, is that despite having plenty of food I'd have liked a few more roast potatoes mostly because I love them, two seems a bit stingy perhaps, and my wife said she would have liked a bit more gravy, maybe a jug of it on the side. Like I say though these were minor things and really didn't spoil the meal. During the meal we were asked a few times if we were enjoying the food / if everything was ok, perhaps a bit too much but then I'd rather it this way round than being ignored!We finished the mains and ordered some desserts, again excellent, all home made with a choice of custard, cream or ice cream. The kids wanted ice cream and the pub stocks an excellent selection from the local Churchfields ice cream farm with a separate menu for the ice cream flavours. Really full after a rhubarb crumble and some rather good custard.Really enjoyed the meal and I'm sure we'll be back. Good service, friendly staff / owners and very good value too.

We originally visited this establishment just after the new owners had taken over. This was our much belated return visit. Bit disappointed that it wasn't very busy as it deserves to be. Welcomed by a very pleasant young man behind the bar who also took our order from a very good menu. Small but well appointed menu with several local game dishes to choose from. Service was good and food was well presented. We both chose the Sunday roast of local sourced beef. Generous helpings of meat and vegetables. Starters and desserts were also home made and delicious. Two drawbacks for me was they no longer stock my favourite Doom Bar and on entering the bar was very cold but as soon as I mentioned the open fire was lit for me. Definitely another visit in the future.

Best food I've had at a local pub in years. Yes you may have to wait when they're busy but it's so worth it. Everyone in our large party was impressed with their meal and we can't wait to return. Hope your offering Christmas menu or maybe even Christmas day menu?The atmosphere is cosy and comfortable, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming well done for bringing the bell inn back to fabulous and better. Cannot wait to return.

The food here is above average and there is a good choice. However, the service was diabolically bad. After 30 minutes waiting for starters two had to be asked for after another five minutes as they had completely forgotten them, and after another long wait the main courses arrived. OK - it was a busy weekend - but where were the extra staff? It's a shame that this happened as the food is so good, but I will not be returning.

This is very local to me and have eaten here often, delicious food and very friendly staff and I love the San Miguel on draft . great Sunday lunches !

Enjoyed a midweek meal here with my wife for her birthday all very nice Food cooked to order and all came back as ordered a rarity nowadays.I would have given them 5 stars but for 2 slip ups, 1/ when serving cold drinks apply a beer mat underneath or you have a wet table and 2/ when serving a basket of garlic bread ( nicely presented) don't forget the plates that go with it, we all don't stuff it in our mouths in one go LOL.Will I come back, Yes, I visited just before Christmas when the roof was off for repairs and sat around heaters and the food has improved even more since that visit, which I did not think possible .So keep up the good work and remember that small details matter

What a great place to eat, Husband & Wife team & what a team......, Wife runs front of the house (what a lovely lady) & Husband is the chef & a great cook, he knows his stuff, every dish tasted lovely, the kids finished all the food & so did we, everything is made fresh so if you don't want certain ingredient in your food, no problem .... one of the kids wanted pasta there was mushroom in the pasta & we asked it to be made without mushroom & guess what there was no rolling of the eye that you usually get or sorry the sauce is already made up...... he got told what ever you want how ever you want it we will make it & THEY DID..... we all loved the menu, so much choice. I WISH we lived nearer to this place & we will go again when we go near there again. you have to go to this place. 10 out of 10

We visited this pub with our 2 families on a Saturday night having found it difficult to satisfy our "pescatorian" diets at a reasonsble cost in nearby town of Pershore. We found it to be a really nice pub with top class cuisine. All food was cooked to order and really well presented with good sized portions. Prices were not too high at around £10 per main course and £4/£6 per starter or dessert. There was a good choice of standard pub favourites as well as some more upmarket and imaginative choices of starters mains and desserts. It was the first time I've experienced sole veronique in many years...a lovely hark back to the 70's & 80's. The pub was a great find and VERY reasonably priced too. The husband and wife were really helpful and bar staff very friendly. Would definitely visit again.

Friendly staff,reasonable prices,food fresh,home cooked to "high end" restaurant standards by Andre,unable to find a fault,many thanks Jane and Andre for a really relaxing well cooked sunday lunch.Would return in a heartbeat.......

Enjoyed food and drink, great attentive service, gave us space in between orders which was as required, friendly folk at pub, reasonable pricing, will come back again.

The owners of this restaurant / pub are really friendly and welcoming, ordered steak and chips, so many places ruin a good steak but not here, couldn't have been cooked any better, great portion size. I had room for a pudding so sticky toffee pudding couldn't be turned down and again was not disappointed. Good ale selection as well.Definitely a place to revisit.
