The Bowling Green in Wychavon

Visited with my wife for Sunday lunch and we were expecting big things based on reviews and the cost of £23pp for one course (the 3 meat roast). Service was extremely fast and staff were very friendly however the food itself was average at best, the beef was very over cooked and tough (despite being advertised as medium-rare), the leg of chicken was under seasoned and lacked any sort of flavour, the pork was nice. Trimmings ok but potatoes slightly underdone. We were an early sitting (12 noon) so it might have been something to do with that but it’s put us off going back especially for the price.

Stayed here for one night only... only gave it 3 that was for the actual Inn itself and the staff restaurant was lovly food was nice but main nenue was limited... the superior double room we booked was definitely not superior... the chair was ripped... there was one complementary buisuit each... yes just one... no long life milk in room... had to ask before bed for flask of milk for the morning cuppa .. which by then no fridge heating on was no good.. woke up early really wanted my morning coffee which we could not have in our room till staff arrived then had to get dressed to go down to fetch fladk of milk .... for price of the room this is not acceptable never been any were we carnt wake up and have a drink...

We booked this last minute to break up our long journey and what a find. It's a beautiful hotel with a great atmosphere. Staff are so friendly and attentive and couldn't do enough for us. It's dog friendly which is a huge bonus. We had a lovely evening meal and breakfast was perfect. We slept really well in a huge comfortable bed. I would like to think we would be in the area to stay again.

Very Nice venue, the food was good, unfortunately my only complaint is the rudeness of the waitress, when taking the food order i asked for a gluten free menu and she jokingly said ‘oh there’s always one’ !, i found this quite offensive and i had to restrain myself from complaining there and then to the management, i didn’t want to upset everyone on our table and cause an atmosphere so i let it slide, however i wasn’t happy with the waitress’s unprofessionalism.

This is a beautiful place to stay. My room (4) was immaculate. Gorgeous shower, comfortable bed, ( I could live in that bed) and fresh milk!!!!! I was greeted so warmly at reception and shown to my room. Honestly, they could not have been nicer. I had a lovely view from my window and even though the pub was busy it was very quiet. After an amazing rights sleep, I was running late so missed breakfast, but the lovely lady who was on duty was so incredibly kind and packed me 2 warm pastries ( yum yum) and a coffee to go. Massive thanks to everyone at the inn, I loved my stay and I genuinely hope to stay with you again.

Excellent food and service as always. Lovely, attentive staff and great atmosphere in a lovely country setting. Thank you

We stayed here for a long weekend with our dog and had the most enjoyable and relaxing time. All the staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive but I will mention Brad and Lottie who worked so hard and remained charming at all times even in the mini-heatwave. It is a busy pub and obviously popular with locals but service of food and drinks was quick even when the garden was full. The food was excellent with lots of choice for dinner and at breakfast - my partner hasn't stopped talking about his Shakshouka. Our room was pleasant and compact, but in no way cramped and we had everything we needed for a lovely break - highly recommended.

What a great place to eat! I had a look at some of the other reviews and I dont seem to recognise the place they went to, perhaps they got lost?? We went with family and the childrens menu was varied enough for all tastes. Prices have gone up as they have everywhere, perhaps a little looking aroiund would show you that good food served well does cost a bit more. We are pensioners so value is key, the Hadley Bowling Green really delivers!

Sadly feel that this place is 'pretentious' and playing to a particular clientele that has money... maybe without questioning if they are getting value for money? A Rump Steak (only steak on offer) was about £25 ... really nothing special, quite chewy. There was no check back for us to say the food wasn't good. Service was definitely less than expected for a place like this.... the Halloumi salad had exceptional flavours and variety but again, offered very poor value for money as only contained 3 very thin strips of Halloumi. For me, prices are too high for 'mediocre' food and minimal service. Far better places in/around Worcs.

A large glass of white wine and one IPA without alcohol = £17. I was absolutely horrified and lost for words. Will not be visiting again

We stayed here on our wedding night after getting married at the Holt Fleet. Matthew was really helpful and accommodating (since my wedding brain actually booked it twice!) He cancelled my duplicate booking and made arrangements for us to collect the key early. The breakfast was fabulous, freshly cooked with best ciabatta toast I've ever tasted! If you want a nice romantic evening with great food you can't go wrong here. Thank you so much ❤

We visited in the summer for a family Sunday luch. Sadly something must have changed since then as our return visit was really dissapointing. 10 of us sat down for a Sundaylunch, mostly roast beef which was overcooked and dry. The food itself was barely warm and for the price (nearly £20 a head) the overall experience was not good. Most of the party were polite enough not to say anything but I could see the dissapointment on thaier faces. The food was nowhere near the high standards of our previous visit so we won't be returning anytime soon when there are lots of other Sunday lunch venues at a lot less money.

Great location for meeting up. Food and service excellent so will be back and stay the night the next time.

Enjoyed lunch here today with our walking group. Service was friendly and efficient, the food was great - and the gluten free menu was impressive. It's lovely to sit and eat with a large group of friends and have no concerns that something will go...

Lovely and friendly service and he food quality and portion size are both excellent. Veering towards the pricey side, but quality makes it worth it.

We have known each other since we were 11 and meet up for a meal several times a year. The meal was great My main, tai green curry was delicious. Service by Donna was good. I will definitely book to go again.

We just wanted a quiet 2days away from the hustle and bustle and that's just what we had. Lovely comfortable clean room, beautiful food and great staff nothing was too much trouble for them. Loved the old building and the open fire. would definitely go...

Arrived without booking and asked for a table with plenty of room as my husband has a disability. The young man who helped me couldn't have been nicer even swopping a chair for us. The meal was lovely and tasty. The service was excellent.

We are staying here for six nights and decided to give their restaurant / Bistro a try on our first night./. The wife had chicken and I had pie of the day and we both loved the meals really good quality and well above typical pub meals. This is high quality food at mid range prices.

Nice place, Sunday lunch was poor not enough for a person with a small appetite. Very little vegetables 3 tiny roast potatoes a spoonful of peas 2 tiny bits of carrot a teaspoon of mashed potato tiny bit of cauliflower and shredded cabbage we were waiting for them to bring out a dish of vegetables. I am not a big eater and normally give my husband some of my potatoes, I gave him 2 of my potatoes because I could see the meal was not enough for him but I could have eaten them myself. £13.95 for this £9.95 was what I would expect to pay for that and would expect a dish of vegetables. Would not recommend this to anyone, portions far too small.

Me and my partner dined here for an evening meal and a few drinks! The service was both prompt and exemplary and once again they were very accommodating as she is gluten intolerant and checked each and every dish we ordered before it came to the table. We will dine here again and the staff were both warms be friendly from start to finish!

This was the first night of a holiday and the B&B where I was staying recommended the Hadley Bowling Green. When I arrived the car park looked full so I was expecting all tables to be taken. However, when I arrived the friendly staff found me one of the last tables in the restaurant that had not been reserved. There was a great "a la carte" menu as well as a range of specials. I chose both main course and dessert from the specials which was Salmon fillet in pastry followed by a Lemon and blueberry mousse. I was very impressed with the food and its presentation. All the restaurant staff were friendly and attentive. Of particular note I want to bring special praise to Jack who served me extremely well and had time to chat to me. Well done to the whole team at Hadley Bowling Green.

Beautiful pub in a beautiful area, lovely outside eating area, we had the burgers which were very nice, onion rings were very greasy so didn't eat them. Service was excellent, they also made a big fuss of our big German shepherd and brought him out some water. Only went inside to get a beer but it looked very nice. One of them great pubs that you wished you lived next door to.

Good pub in our locality. Great selection of beers and a menu that offers a range of pub favourites. Pieminster pies are always a great choice.

Mi marido y yo nos alojamos una noche de jueves, pintoresco, limpio, cómodo, históricos, todos palabras que puedan describir la Hadley Bowling Green Inn. Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida a su llegada, la habitación era amplia y decorada con buen gusto. Instalación de baño estaban limpios, suaves toallas blancas y diversos productos de cortesía eran entregados y té y café en la habitación. El desayuno era absolutamente delicioso que no recomiendo alojarse aquí más. Un paisaje precioso al despertar.

En el camino a Wostershire cuando el tiempo decidimos tomar un giro para lo peor, así que a parar para el almuerzo.

Beautiful pub, very friendly bar staff. Food isn't the cheapest but it's worth paying a bit more for the quality of food. Really enjoyed my starter and main. Good choice of food.

Hace unos años, este se convirtió en uno de nuestro brevemente y regular lugares favoritos para comer. De todos modos, teníamos un poco decepcionante para que la comida comenzando el mark, así que nos detuvimos visitando. Eso fue un par de años o así hace, así que decidimos entrar hoy para intentarlo de nuevo, nuestros corazones se encuentra en una de sus carnes asadas. No fue un buen comienzo. Las principales asado (carne) estaba lleno. La otra opción, que asada era poussin sonaba un poco queridos de alrededor de £17 para una cena de pollo. Así que tuve la sobresaliente asado y mi otra mitad tenía una hamburguesa. Para empezar, ambas teníamos el parfait de hígado de pollo con un puerto y red currant las medusas. Se veía genial, pero el parmesano crostini (pan tostado pijo) piezas eran demasiado pequeños para la cantidad de gelatina y el parfait tenía un sabor poco. Hubiéramos preferido algo como un tanto de cebolla roja chutney en lugar de la sosa de las medusas. Luego la red. La hamburguesa estaba bien. Sin embargo, mi comida sobresaliente. pobre parecía El sobresaliente fue vista y seco hasta el punto de que las fibras de carne en realidad eran afilados y rayados mi garganta, incluso después de mucho masticar. La salsa de perejil tenía completamente dividido y era muy oscuro en color. También sabía nada como el perejil. Más como una salsa con manteca cursi,. No decente chef dejado una comida buscando la manera que lo hizo. La camarera era precioso cuando mencioné la salsa, y trajo otra después de unos pocos minutos. Era un color completamente diferente (en realidad parecía salsa de perejil), pero mientras que sabía un poco más como debe, diría que encontréis a gusto con los ojos vendados e identificar como salsa de perejil. . . . Luego de los postres. Tuve el gofre belga, que en su mayoría, estaba bien, pero la mezcla de gofres obviamente no estaba bastante justo porque partes de tenía bolsillos de puro, azúcar, y la probeta de textura fue difícil en algunos lugares. La otra mitad probamos el Deep-fried pudding de verano. Sabemos qué es un flan de verano, y esto no era nada como uno! Era un trozo de helado, envuelto en pan, fritos, con un poco de salsa de frutas de verano, en la medida de lo aplicado que supiéramos. Así que nos fuimos con una sensación de lleno, pero realmente "incumplidas" por qué habíamos parado recordando que visita en primer lugar. Es una pena, porque es un gran edificio antiguo en un lugar encantador, rural, y el personal es muy amable. Los chefs muy necesario para traer la comida a la derecha estándar, y hasta la etiqueta del precio.

Regresé a la Bowling Green después de un largo tiempo, y quedé muy impresionado. Excelente servicio, personal muy amable y atento. La comida es muy buena. Tenía el hígado y el tocino, muy sabroso y vegetales frescos, de una buena variedad. Comí el mucho, y normalmente no comer verduras. Mi compañero de la hamburguesa, que de nuevo fue muy bueno. Sin duda alguna volveremos otra vez.

A great country location traditional pub restaurant offering an excellent selection of food. called in for a bar snack , always difficult if you are coeliac but they had everything i needed. we had the mixed meat and cheese platter which was excellent with fresh gluten free bread

Mi hijo nos invitó a una comida aquí cuando lo visitamos a él la semana pasada. Lo elegimos porque es celíaco REINO UNIDO acreditado y como soy Celíaco significa que puedo comer aquí con confianza.

Nuestro grupo de cuatro visitamos este pub antiguo encantador para un almuerzo ligero para concluir un fin de semana en Worcester.

Cenamos con amigos. Al llegar mi marido no podía decidir qué beber, afortunadamente el propietario/gerente recorrían y sugirió un trío de cervezas para probar que era un toque agradable. El pub está lleno de carácter y había mucho espacio alrededor de la mesa, si desea una cena romántica. La comida estaba bien, pero nada especial. Tuve el galés rabebit con champiñones. Era más como de queso en un pedazo de pan tostado con algunos champiñones, baguette aburrido. Tuve la lubina, que estaba bien. Mi marido tenía la tarta 'especial' de pollo, puerro y vegetales. Había un montón de pasta, un montón de nada. Puede que algunos extras han ayudado. salsa Buñuelos de banana tuve que eran muy buenas, pero les servía con helado de chocolate? . La comida estaba bien, pero no vale la pena el viaje.

Lovely lunch on a Saturday lunchtime. Comfortable and clean. The food is really nice. Wheelchair access is good with plenty of space between the tables. Really enjoyed the lunch out.

Hemos comido aquí antes, así que esperábamos altos estándares pero nuestros almuerzos eran normales: una buena, una mala. Mi pareja disfrutó de una tarta deliciosa, pero mi panceta de cerdo estaba cruda y dura, y las zanahorias asadas eran incomibles. ¿Por qué no hierva, ya que el de otras hortalizas estaban bien? El Berry ruibarbo era fabuloso. Una explosión de sabores y se sirve con helado pero el budín de pan y manteca, desde el menú principal era sólido y sin sabor y por £5. 95 uno espera algo mejor. La camarera fue muy amable y eficiente, pero el joven camarero se olvidó de pedir bebidas. El menú del almuerzo de 2 platos por £12. 95 podría ser una buena relación si elige cuidadosamente. Afortunadamente nuestra factura estaba ajustado, gracias, y nos volveremos, ya que es un pub antiguo precioso en un hermoso entorno.

Llamamos durante un paseo por la zona.

Just had the most delicious Sunday lunch I've had for a long time excellent service and friendly staff Will be definitely come again

Almuerzo aquí en un que muy regularmente,

Yo, mi marido y dos niños visitar la Bowling Green regularmente, cada vez que la comida ha sido muy bien cocinados y bien presentado. El personal es cálido, amable, atento y acogedor, con una sonrisa siempre. Tiene un ambiente familiar y encantador, con un área de juegos para niños. Lugar fantástico, comida y personal. Volveremos a menudo! Y recomiendo encarecidamente el chocolate caliente!

Enjoyed a lovely 3 course meal here, a seperste gluten free menu is available and very tasty it was too. That combined with gluten free ale, 6x gold, and the helpful pleasant staff means I would not hesitate to recommend this pub to my friends

Apart from the fact that the food has gone downhill (I was rudely replied to when I asked why they only had an 8oz rump on their menu (at £22 one should mention! - And having had it, it was poor)), the staff seem to have an attitude problem.The pub is totally unsuitable for those with a family or young children. You will have the management, staff and other punters 'groaning, moaning, tutting or similar if you should venture inside and make any noise, or not sit at the table obediently."We used to frequent here, but to be honest the final straw came when the manager made lewd comments about my wife (happy to have a face to face Chris, if you want)... and we felt our 2 year frequent visits/giving them benefit of the doubt had come to en end. Not sure what's going on here, but the bar, and the food, are over-priced and under average.Better places about. Avoid.

A cosy old inn with friendly staff, great service, a good choice of food all served beautifully. Will definitely be visiting again soon

Visita 3 de Febrero 6 de rd hasta

Nos quedamos muy decepcionados, dos días antes de navidad, pero el restaurante y el menú no parecía muy festivo.

I can not rate the Hadley Bowling Green Inn highly enough. Honestly, you MUST visit to appreciate the friendly Landlord and staff, lovely atmosphere and great food. Four of us visited with two dogs, which were made very welcome with treats on the table and ice cold water - very welcome on a warm day. The staff were attentive with being over the top. Food high quality, locally sourced where possible, well cooked, nicely presented and utterly delicious.

We collected my Father in Law and took him to The Bowling Green Sunday lunch time.The weather was beautiful my Wife and 2 Sons were there for my birthday celebrations.Nice sandwiches.They were struggling at times with the volume of people there but excellent.

Have often driven past the sign to this pub but never ventured down the lane which leads to this delightful country pub and hotel. We went on a Tuesday evening and there were quite a few people dining, drinking and staying over. The welcome was very friendly and I felt comfortable as a single woman waiting for the rest of my party to arrive. The menu is large and varied, offering something for every taste and budget. We shared a lamb platter between four as a starter and I had the fish board as a main course- unfortunately too full for pudding! The pie of the day (rabbit, gammon and leek) was also delicious. We'll definitely go back!

Went for a Sunday lunch. Service very friendly but while my meal was fine, my partner was disappointed at how fatty the beef was. After previous good experiences this will make us think twice about returning if we want a roast.

We came here with high expectations. It's a beautiful pub in beautiful settings. However the food left us feeling ripped off and disappointed. We had bread and oil to start-just shy of £4 for 6 tiny slices of bland bread and small pot of oil and balsamic vinegar. The rest of the meal followed this theme and at no point did any member of staff ask us how our food was. Such a shame as it has such potential but I left feeling ripped off and dissatisfied.

A family meal that turned into a great experience. We booked a table and without knowing walked into the first night of the summer menu. At first glance I thought is there anything I really fancy, but that soon turned into "next time I will order that". The service was as friendly, attentive and quick as usual. All the food was exceptional which was a real surprise as who thought the previous menu could be bettered? Was there a downside? Yes no room for pudding! Will have to go back for coffee and dessert one afternoon. Almost forgot to mention could not decide between 2 bottles of wine so they let us sample both before ordering.

Enjoyed a wonderful lunchtime meal here with family sat outside in the sunshine. Very friendly bar staff who greeted us with a cheery smile. The food was lovely too and I'd definately return again.

Lovely country pub even on a damp evening..quite busy for midweek so nice atmosphere. Service was professional and pleasant. We had the faggots and the lamb sausage served with black pudding mash and good veg. Pretty old fashioned stuff and a bit of a change. I liked it!

Lovely position in the Worcestershire countryside and adjacent to a traditional crown green. It's got history Fawkes met his co consular torts here. Perfect for a summer pub lunch outside. Good beers available, craft bottled and pump. Food generously portioned and menu has staple pub favourites with a few added of interest. Had the hunter Platter, it was BIG, service cheery and efficient. I'm going back.

Clean and tidy, food great, surroundings lovely, staff friendly and happy to help - smiles all round..!!!

I arranged a Rendezvous lunch here on a Sunday; numbers were going to be variable; the weather very much so too.The staff were very understanding and kept an inside table; though in the end we ate outside on a lovely sunny day. This is a popular place, so as well to book.The food, drink and location were all very pleasant and nothing was too much trouble for the staff; a perfect country pub with good food.I am glad that there is a little bit of Wiltshire in Worcestershire.

We are always desperate to find great places to eat, with and exciting and varied menu, that uses good produce and has a nice atmosphere. The bowling Green, has all this and more in abundance. We are grateful to Chris and the team for giving us a good night with good food, and for adding to that the surprise of a small bill at the end. Well done - a really exceptional experience these days.

Popped in for impromptu Sunday dinner on the way home, we were greeted nicely and politely, Sat where we wanted as it was not too busy. Food arrived promptly and was very nice no problems there. Reasonably priced. Nice pub!!Also nice little play area for the kids outside, rural setting.

Lovely rally field behind a good pub that hasn't forgotten how a pub should be. Warm welcome, well kept real ale, (also fizzy keg stuff for those who don't know better) good honest pub food. Freshly cooked, good portions and ridiculously good value!

Some years ago we spent 10 days in the cottages that are rented out for bead and breakfast and had such a good tome that we try and revisit when we can.We stopped by for a light lunch and were offered a great choice of sandwiches made to order plus light meals.We all chose the tuna and spring onion baguettes plus a side order of tripple cooked chips, washed down with a local ale and left very satisfied.This still retains its Charming Inn atmosphere, added to by the large open wood burning fire.

I have visited this pub on a regular basis over the last few years since moving to Worcester, and I've always found the staff helpful and the food tasty. My family and I usually pop down on a nice sunny day to sit outside for a quick drink, and it's location means you aren't confronted with constant traffic.A lot of the reviews on here usually moan about the food, but personally I think for what you pay, it's excellent. And whatever time of year you visit, it always seems to feel like a pleasant welcoming pub.

We really wanted to love The Hadley Bowling Green as we are local, 10 of us booked for a 40th birthday meal. We had pre ordered our meal as we were asked to. On arrival we were made very welcome and enjoyed a drink in the bar. We were then hurried to our table. Our starters were all good. Squid, patè, stuffed mushroom...However, mains were very disappointing. My chickpea & sweet potato curry had no flavour. The faggots were chewy, the goats cheese salad was a poor. ( rocket, goats cheese, pine kernels and balsamic vinegar) steaks were all enjoyed...but very expensive! We had to send a bowl of chips back..3 of the us in the party are in the trade, so possibly super critical but it wasn't a complex menu!

Stayed here overnight whilst visiting relatives. The rooms are fantastic. Big, with great decor and excellent value for money. As the Inn is quite remote we decided to have dinner here. We had lunch here before and it was not bad and so we thought dinner would be OK. Unfortunately this is where our experience was let down. Sat down at 8pm. Restaurant not that busy for a Saturday night. The menu is very limited as it contains no steak or beef dish. No fish dish other than seafood tagliatelle or fish and chips and no lamb or pork dish. Very poor for a restaurant these days.Starters were ok , although the Camembert had no flavour at all and was in a pot so small it oozed all over the napkin and so was inedible. The waitress dropped the chutney on the floor. Fine we were given a new one but the dropped chutney remained on the floor all evening. 75 minutes after we sat down we received our mains. They were so hot that I burnt my tongue , so not sure if they had been microwaved or kept in an oven. The sausages had steam coming off them !!Sausage and mash was very salty as the mash contained far too much black pudding and the sauce was red hot. Chicken with tarragon mousse was dry and the whole dish was bland. We ate only half of each dish. The staff were apologetic and offered free dessert/coffee but by then we had been so disappointed that we didn't want anything else. The food here is simply not that good. So many tables had to go and ask at the bar to pay the bill and had empty plates in front of them for 10 minutes or more even though it was not that busy. So it's simple. Stay here as the rooms are fantastic but definitely eat elsewhere as there are far better restaurants nearby. Such a shame for a great venue.

Living locally we had always intended to visit "The Bowling Green Inn" as on outward appearance the restaurant has great kerb appeal. However after visiting for a "Mothers Day" family lunch we can say that the dining experience was very much an example of style over substance. Service was polite and reassuring although this didn't prevent one main course having to be sent back to the kitchen as a simple order request hadn't been followed. On reflection it seems that the "Gastro Pub" tag was being cleverly used as a cover for portion control, which in itself would have been acceptable had the ingredients warranted the praise. All in all a disappointing experience.

On a Friday evening, we were pleased we had booked in advance because it looked popular and busy. However, it was early evening and it did appear that some tables were available. Although it's part of a large chain of pub/restaurants, the decor as well as the building and its location in the countryside, does lend it some character. A pleasant crowd of people and background chatter also helped. We were quickly welcomed on arrival and were shown to our table immediately (our choice). Tables are reasonably well spaced apart and the seating is comfortable. Service matched the welcome and an extremely pleasant and friendly member of staff took our drinks and food order without any delay. A good choice of reasonably priced wine is on offer by the bottle, half-bottle and large and small glass. I had a superb glass of German white wine while we waited for our meal. There are several different menus (making it just a bit confusing). Some starters looked a bit different and imaginative. I ordered one of these which turned out OK but a bit disappointing. My main course was one of the chef's own pies featured in a local competition and diners were asked to comment and rate them. Again, the pie I had was OK but fell short of being memorable. The filling was tasty enough but was let down by the pastry. Top marks for the chips though which were definitely homemade, fresh and really very, very good. The desert was good but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, I would say it provided reasonable value for money but it could have been a lot, lot better.

Overall the Hadley Bowling Green exceeded all our expectations. Our room was large and well appointed (bed a little firm for my preference).Breakfasts and the evening meal were well cooked, well presented and reasonably priced.The staff were efficient, professional and friendly, willing to "go the extra mile" to give us the best service.We stayed for two nights and would like to go there again.

Two of us stopped for a quick business lunch in the week, ordering baguettes - one with beef and the other with chicken and bacon. Both were excellent, as was the service from entering the establishment. Well laid out tables, great ambiance and friendly welcome. Well worth travelling 5 minutes off the A449.

Along with friends I have often had lunch here. There is a good selection of value for money meals and the service is good.

Warm and welcoming great atmosphere, staff really friendly and food excellent highly recommend great place

My wife organized a 30th birthday meal for me here, with around 30 family members. The food was great and the staff did a great job overall. There were a few niggles, but nothing that was out of the ordinary. Overall, it was great.

A rainy Monday lunchtime in January doesn't suggest that a pub would be at it's best, but from the moment we walked in to the Bowling Green we were made to feel welcome. There was a log fire and staff who greeted us as we arrived. It wasn't busy of course but there was a fair sprinkling of customers. The wine list was extensive and there were guest beers. The food, which came pretty promptly, seemed to be freshly cooked rather than boil in the bag. I had gammon with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce on a bed of bubble and squeak, while my husband had fish and chips. Excellent pub food. This place is a real gem.

Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Chris, Donna and the whole team for a wonderful evening and Christmas Dinner. 14 of us having a late Christmas Party, we've really enjoyed our meal and the ambiance. As soon as we've stepped in, we felt welcomed, with a friendly yet professional approach. All my friends appreciated their dishes, personally I can recommend the gnocchi and raspberry crème brulee, delicious! We will certainly go back in spring time for a Birthday Celebration!

I've visited this pub on several occasions, always on an evening & very often a Sunday. To be honest I've found the service quite slow & food just ok. However on a lunchtime it is a completely different place.The staff seemed less stressed as it was not very busy. The lunch time specials were excellent value. I had gammon ham, egg & the best chips ever, pudding too was very nice.The atmosphere is very pleasant & enables you to be able to take your time & have a good catch up with friends.

Really lovely food, catered for two coeliacs, one also being allergic to egg and sesame- this was no trouble to them. The staff were very friendly and so accommodating. A very festive ambiance at a very reasonable price compared to others nearby, thank you for a wonderful Christmas Day and thank you for being so accommodating.

A return visit for us. While the atmosphere and ambience of the HBG restaurant is excellent the food tonight was at best hit and miss which left our table of four decidedly disappointed to put it politely - and I am being generous as well as polite!Maybe it was an off night in the kitchen, maybe not? There's far better food available in the locality and unfortunately on this showing HBG will have to wait before we return for another try. Shame because it should be SO much better!

Our company held their annual dinner and party . My meal was supposed to be gluten free and was not. The soup was indescribable, we could not make out what the taste was. Me thinks chef had not made enough and chucked gallons of water into it and chopped up feta cheese. My main course, again not gluten free, was a mess on a plate!Venison something, Had been chucked on the plate with a dollop of mash potato I could only eat a few chunks of meat and a little mash as there were even dumplings in it. . The only edible thing was the kale. Dessert was a slice of dried up Apple cake, almonds chucked at it and a little jug of custard. I did not want to embarrass the other people on our table including the Financial director who was paying by kicking up a huge fuss. It was supposed to be a party after all . Really disappointed.

Went for a Christmas meal in a group of approx 40. The food was excellent as was the service. It was a good choice of dishes which were all nicely presented. The only complaint I heard was that they were a bit miserly with the sprouts! As a venue it is very pleasant. Even in a large group we seemed to have plenty of room and the bar was nice and handy too. Drinks were not excessively priced.

Really enjoyed the fish and chips sat outside in the sunshine after a long bike ride . staff very friendly and helpful tried a lot of the menu all is excellent and very well presented worth a visit

Had a great value-for-money lunch at the Bowling Green. Home made faggots were excellent and a good plateful. Spotted dick to follow was also delicious. Saw a special evening advertised where 2 mains and a bottle of wine were to be £15 - bargain!

Fantastic food, service great.Need to work out how to make flat white:-(Recommend , out of the way but a must.

we went here for a monday lunch having had a long family weekend in the area, i used to stay here & enjoyed many superb evening meals & overnight stays; not been here for last 10 years since i retired but found it first time and for a monday lunch time it was reasonably busy; the place hasn't altered & the food was as good as i remembered; we went home well fed!

Great good, great service, the manager is very charming and friendly. Awesome place to have lunch and a glass of wine on a sunny day and just as fab in the winter with their seasonal menu and comfy furniture, my fav pub in the Droitwich area :)

Whenever we visit we always get a warm welcome. It's never overly busy, probably due to it's location and this means service is prompt. Menu choice is vast and it caters extremely well for children and anyone requiring gluten free. Wadworths beer is always a bonus. Food quality is always excellent as is the value for money. B&B is also well worth it too and you get a great breakfast to boot.

been here a couple of times everyone is so friendly staff and locals. reminds you of pubs in years gone by except that you can get food here and very nice to and not expensive so if you want a nice relaxing lunch or dinner this is the place to go.

The premises originate from the Elizabethan period but have been improved in a very tasteful manner. No loud music, just a wonderful atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff and very good choice of quality food on offer. Very good choice of beers etc. The interior is quite big, with various dining areas, all on one level. It is set in the Worcestershire countryside and has an old bowling green next to the car park. Well worth a visit!

A fast disappearing type of traditional pub. No jukebox just friendly service, well kept beer and food cooked to order, not microwaved. Located in beautiful rural Bromsgrove. This is the type of place you went to with your mum and Dad on a Sunday before Sunday Lunch.
