The Brewer's Arms in Malvern Hills - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely, cosy, community feel! Service was great too.

Really enjoyable meal. Great selection of beers. Staff very friendly. Will go again

Found the community owned pub after visiting Malvern. A lovely old fashioned pub with a great decor. There is a beer garden with stunning views over the hills. I had a pint of Nightjar followed by a pint of Pigs Ear. The Nightjar was very much like a Guinness but with a sharper flavour. The Pigs Ear was a lovely real ale with a sweet flavour. On the food front we shared the fish fillet sandwich with Chunky chips. £6.95 . This was plenty for 2 small eaters. There was an extensive menu. I would highly recommend a visit. There's quite a history associated with the pub. Check the opening times.

After a walk on the Malverns 4 of us ( and dog) enjoyed great fish and chips in the garden of this lovely pub.

A bit bias as my niece and partner run it but good beer and a cracking view from the top (almost) of the Malvern hills

The crab salad in the sun. Perfect.

Small traditional community owned pub, great views from the garden, good beer

Since its takeover by a local community buyout this pub has become one of my absolute favourites. There is always a great selection of well kept cask ales, usually from Worcestershire or neighbouring counties, as well as ciders and craft lagers. The food is superb pub-grub, unpretentious and ridiculously good value for money. Take note of food service times and don't be late, as they often run out. Views from the garden are splendid. It's well worth the walk from Great Malvern or Colwall stations.

Great service and even better pint as usual. Good mix of people.

Superb community pub. Curated selection of West Mercian ales and enlightening collection of West Malvern characters and histories. Staff are warm and friendly. Recommend to any visitor

Fantastic food at community run pub

Great community owned pub. Awesome fish selection and meal. Highly recommend. Perfect spot for walk before and after

A really nice surprise after coming back from a really nice walk. The food is tip top and the pub is so chill. 👏

Beautiful local pub owned by the community. Stunning location and good food and drink on offer. It isn’t a huge chain-run pub but instead it’s small, cozy, place of rest. Highly recommend.

Lovely community run pub with a view to die for.

I haven't been to this now community-owned pub in West Malvern for a very long time, but I'll definitely be coming again. It's a great place on a sunny evening.

Just popped in for a quick late lunchtime pint with friends. Very friendly, lovely pint and fantastic views from the beer garden. Pictures don't capture the views well. We'll be back.

The 4 of us had hake and chips. The lightest batter we've had ever! ( possiby). Service friendly, quick, polite. We stopped going about 4 years ago when it went very downhill, but we are VERY pleased to say it will become our local once again!

Great food, great selection of beers and friendly service

We went over for Sunday lunch and was able to sit in the sun for the first time this year, the beer garden is set up lovely, my husband had the roast beef and declared it the best in Malvern. Beautiful rare beef, all the trimmings and lush gravy. We will definitely be back! Well done to the landlords

Never eaten here but I hear its good. Stunning location, very friendly staff, lovely vibe. Great beer and snacks. Open fires dog friendly.

Visited the pub with the best view in the uk. We weren’t disappointed. The pub was warm and friendly. Lady behind the bar was nice. Price was reasonable. Chips were AMAZING. Cheesy chips yummy. 😋 Will definitely return.

We came here as a large group of hikers and had pre booked a platter of sandwa and chips to have in the little outhouse. There was a slight mix up on when we wanted them but when we got there the chef quickly got to work and made a delicious selection of sandwiches for us. We had loads to go around and having our own space was great. There was a good selection of drinks available and all the staff were really helpful.

Great little pub situated on the side of the Malvern Hills myself and friends enjoyed an excellent Sunday roast here last week also dog friendly and a good selection of beers

Great staff, great clientele, an unmolested pub and really good ales and food.

Midweek lunchtime. Friendly welcome and soon sat down with a drink. Food followed along in good time. I chose the pie, which surprised me for it's, almost gastro-pub qualities. I will certainly choose that again. Dessert was of pleasant originality for a basic - and tasty. Very much looking forward to another visit. Excellent.

Pay a visit to The Brewers, balanced on the West Side of the Malverns and rescued from near death by the loca

Beautiful little pub with amazing home made food and very friendly locals, it made a great end to our day after getting lost in the Malvern hills!

We came to this wonderful pub for a Sunday lunch on a recommendations from friends nearby. It is a community ran pub and it is certainly not big. But compact as it may be it was indeed very busy on a windy Sunday with walkers, dogs and families. The food was excellent and well priced too, we had the roast sirloin lunch, soup and olives with bread. The tea and hot chocolate was amazing. We had lunch before our walk so didn't get to the desserts. We had hoped to walk back to Brewers Arm for dessert, but our stomachs were still full! Next time.

Fabulous gem of a pub with lovely staff and excellent food. Be patient. It is a tiny place that is very popular. The small team [I don't think that they could physically get more staff in there] work really hard to get food out as quickly as they can.

Cracking local community pub. Very good ale. Friendly welcome by the landlords/locals. Dogs welcome. If they behave they might even get a biscuit. Recommended.

Food looked very nice, beer was good. Nice to visit after walk on the hills. Staff local and very friendly.

Popped up a few months back for a couple pints and had such an amazing time. It has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A couple of guys even got guitars out and had a little sing song. We have been up a fair few times since and it always has the same atmosphere. After being sent a photo from a friend last week of the lunch they had, I HAD to try it for food too and was not disappointed. I had a steak and stilton pie which was devine, served with chunky chips and fresh veg, and my partner had battered hake which again was absolutely amazing! The only thing to be aware of is that we got there for midday and by 1230 it was full. I will deifnitely be back up and will definitely eat there again!

Perfect spot, great beer and a should visit, pub.

I’ve visited here a few times now and always been impressed. Visited solo on a walk early December and was made to feel very welcome by a couple of locals. The beer was well kept and there was a good choice. I had a small lunch there too, and the sausage sandwich was fantastic! Fair prices. Visited again more recently on New Year’s Eve about 10pm whilst on a walk. Bar staff very friendly and service efficient. Good beer again. Thoroughly recommend a stop by this pub. It’s not far to walk from the ridge at all. The Brewers is likely my favourite of Malvern’s pub offerings, and there are some good ones.

Brilliant pub, great local beers, lovely warm fire & the food is outstanding, amazing fish & chips & the crème brûlée best I have ever had !

My friend and I ordered the Salmon with sapphire sticky rice and poached egg. Rarely have I enjoyed a meal as much . Top quality excellent food..

Stopped off here on the way home from walking along the Malvern Hills, absolutely fantastic beer and excellent service a true community pub that is also very dog friendly.

Came here with the intention of eating. Checked the online sample menu which is posted on the pubs website before visiting but when I turned up the menu was nothing like the sample which was a shame. Decided not to eat because didn't like the sound of anything on the menu so decided to just have a drink instead, the actual menu did not resemble the sample in any way that was uploaded to the pubs website. Noticed that one of the locals ordered something not on the menu and it was delivered personally by the chef(male), I assumed it to be the chef as the man had a kitchen apron on. They both seemed to know each other very well, perhaps that's why they were allowed to order something they preferred and not on the menu. It seems that this is a community owned pub, owned by the community for the local community or that's how the menu appeared as if they catered for the shareholders rather than visitors from further afield. In a lovely location on the Malvern Hills, parking quite difficult but possible in a nearby lay-by a few minutes walk away.

Only popped in for a couple of pints this time but always good ale, friendly staff and cosy feel. Being a rescued community pub venture makes even more of a reason to visit.

The Brewer's Arms in west Malvern is off the road, so quiet and cosy. in the unseasonably warm October sunshine we enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch of roast beef, and salmon with shrimps in brown butter sauce. Everything was simply cooked but to perfection, and very reasonably priced for the quality. Starters looked good and puddings again were straightforward and delicious - e.g. vegan cherry bakewell with raspberry sauce. All dishes were beautifully presented, staff were friendly and although there was a reasonably long wait between ordering and being served, we were in no hurry and it gave us time to soak up the sunshine and amazing view of the countryside from the lower garden area. Definitely recommend a visit! (N.B. no booking, so don't leave it too late if you want to have a full choice).

Unspoilt traditional pub with excellent draft beers. Very good food (chicken pie and ham with onion sauce). Welcoming bar staff and server. Recommend.

Lovely community owned pub in West Malvern. Good range of beer and excellent food and service. Nice atmosphere and great views outside.

What a gem . Brilliant staff ,amazing food, garlic chicken beautiful cooked i followed by Eton mess a firm favourite for my partner and I . Beer (HPA) as good as I’ve tasted. Prices very reasonable. And what a beautiful old pub in a beautiful setting with a beautiful garden to sit and relax in after a delightful meal .

First time in a long time. Really nice .

What a little gem. Owned by the community and having great service. Good choice of local beers and some nice food. Choose your outdoor seat carefully and the panorama before you is stunning.

Local pub for local people. Good prices and menu. Nice garden.

What an amazing pub, I stopped off here to grab some food. The roast beef was delicious. The vegetarian one was equally as amazing. What a true gem.

Lovely quaint little place. It’s locals-owned and the staff were very kind. Food was great - I had a chicken and leek pot pie

The Sunday Roast was great ... served hot and not over-cooked. Friendly, attentive staff and a good range of ales. Wonderful interlude whilst walking the hills -- a real hidden gem. Lovely views all the way to Wales. Will definitely return.

First time visiting since this pub reopened earlier this year, thanks to the local community taking it over. Happily it won’t be the last! Encouraging busy at lunchtime today* I chose a fantastic home made chicken and leek pie and there’s a wide selection of ales and beers and more. *Check the opening times on the pub’s own website as Tripadvisor was not up to date as of today and showed it as being closed until 5pm.

Lovely pub with good views. Lovely beer garden, staff polite and friendly

Hidden gem all round. Beers, Cider, Staff. Didn't eat so can't comment on that. Sweet little garden. Community saved and run. Not easy to find. Just loved it.

Lovely pub , amazing roast beef . Well worth a visit . We will be back

Friendly, community-owned and run pub - great for a brew and a roast after a hike in the nearby hills.

Really nice pub in a great setting. We were a group of 19 who called in for lunch without a booking on a nice day. They accommodated us without fuss and we had really nice drinks and food. It's a community pub and the friendly lady behind the bar was a volunteer. Great views over the countryside too.

Visited with the family last Wednesday and have to say all the recent glowing reviews are spot on. Friendly service and the food was excellent. Chips cooked perfectly. Great location with an interesting quirkily shaped garden and all in all perfect after a morning roaming the hills. We hope to be moving to this area very soon and would certainly look forward to having this place as our local.

Fantastic little gem of a pub. After a hill walk over The Sugar Loaf hill it was a perfect spot for lunch. Very reasonable prices and food was great.

Vastly improved since community buy out and new landlords in place. Really enjoyed super dinner and friendly service at the new Brewers Arms which I have visited often over the years. It is the perfect place to meet friends and family… especially after a walk on the magnificent Malvern Hills

Fantastic country pub on the Malvern Hills. This is community run by a dedicated group of folk and should be supported. Went in for Sunday lunch, which was excellent. Well done everyone.

For the 50+ years that my father lived in the village his daily walk to the pub would have been the equivalent of walking around the world. I understand why he made the effort as it’s a charming local pub on the west side of the Malvern Hills. The pub is now owned by the local community with fabulous tenants who serve great food and beer. Its beer garden boasts one of the best views in England.

After a lovely morning walking over the Malvern Hills, we decided lunch and a drink was next in line. I wouldn't normally write a review, unless it was exceptionally good or very disappointing. But this pub ticks all the right boxes. Great choice of local Ales, nice beer garden and to top it all the best fish & chips I've ever tasted in the UK. Chunky Chips were cooked to perfection, to go along with the crispy battered haddock. We will definitely be visiting again, when next walking the Malvern Hills.

A delightful community pub with great food and beer. We had the roast beef which was amazingly tender and cooked to perfection. Whilst we had a lemonade cause we were driving, the wye valley beer is a favourite.

Lovely cosy community run pub. Please support the pub if you're visiting the area you won't be disappointed. The menu has improved Massively..... Delicious food 😘

Worth going out of the way for this friendly place, with good beer.

Lots of lovely seating areas outside with great views.

Friendly service, good selection of beers, and a delicious lunch, on the edge of the Malvern hills.

Nice people, nice food, nice local beers, lovely location. Will visit more often

We visited just for a drink. This is a proper pub! Friendly staff, good beer choice, reasonably priced and traditionally decorated. The garden is a must if the weather is good. This became a community pub in 2022 and any of the bad reviews on here are before this changed.

We haven't been in for ages, and it was such a beautiful day we thought we'd pop in for lunch, and we're so glad we did. We had a lovely meal, my husband said his fish and chips couldn't be improved on and I had a delicious selection of smoked salmon, smoked mackerel and crayfish tails with bread and butter - yum! The lovely lady who served us at the bar was really helpful and informative and chef brought our meals to us outside. The views are, of course, unbeatable. We've decided we need to visit much more often, The Brewers Arms is a wonderful place to visit rain or shine.

Excellent food, real ale and service. The local community volunteers have done a great job in getting the pub back open and operating again. Well done all and thank you. We will definitely be back.

Great pub with a relaxing homely feel, the warm fire helps to heat the feet after a winter walk up the malverns.

Feel so lucky to have this pub within walking distance of home. Since becoming a community owned pub, and with the new chef doing the most delicious and well-priced food, it feels like it is finally going to become what we always knew it could be. We recently went along for a Sunday lunch and the food was really good - with offers of more veg and gravy if needed. Definitely the best pub in Malvern by a long way - and the quality and price of the food offering is something that other Malvern pubs lack. All with a beautiful view!

Amazing service, very attentive front staff contributed by great ciders and very picturesque views! We will be back Brewer’s arms.

Nice pub, community ran. Food was nice and home cooked.

Bar staff very friendly and well priced drinks. Need to do something with the gardens and patio area , the bit that has views to Wales. Only one table out there, realise there might be problems but to appreciate the views more seating. Some plants in pots even . I know it's early days . The concrete area ugly to look at as well.

Well worth a regular visit, so glad the West Malvern community have saved this pub....we felt very welcome. Looking forward to popping in for a snack soon.

Five of us were staying near to the Brewers Arms, whilst visiting the RHS Malvern Spring Festival for the weekend. We liked it so much we went twice for dinner. Good food, vegetarian options, ( and our gluten free friends had no problem finding something on the menu, chef did their battered fish without the batter), friendly and efficient staff. Very reasonably priced . Good on you all for taking this on as a community pub! On a sunny evening it has a lovely garden with views. They don’t take bookings, so get there early for food. Highly recommended.

Such a great pub, great beer, fantastic menu, and now community-owned. Been here a few times now with friends and family, and have enjoyed some very nice locally brewed ales. It's always warm, bright, cheery and cosy - and with a lovely log fire (have never noticed any of the smoke problems reported by a previous reviewer - that must have been a one-off). The new tenants and the volunteer staff are so friendly, and have worked hard to bring the Brewers back to its former place at the heart of this community.

Loved it haven't been for ages and it's much improved garden is tidy and the pub looking brighter and cleaner.

This delightful little pub is now community owned and has new tenants in place. It’s a pub that serves real ale alongside food. The menu changes regularly and there are daily specials on offer. Plenty of veggie and vegan options, lovely fresh and tasty meals....

Just had the fish plus scampi and chips. Honestly one of the best I have ever had. Really tasty, crunchy batter, great chips delicious mushy peas. My wife had the veggie Dahl which she also raved about. Beer great, wonderful atmosphere and cracking view. Couldn't...

After hiking over the Malvern we ended up in this beautiful pub great local beers and ciders would highly recommend

We stumbled upon this gem whilst on a drive from Malvern. What a find. New chefs had begun there the previous day. Amazing service, amazing food and a knock out view. Love the idea of this pub being owned by the locals. We wish them...

Great community owned pub ,friendly, clean and welcoming, good food and drinks ,nice garden and views.

A wonderful community run pub that should be visited by anyone in the area. An excellent range of well kept cask conditioned ales are served. Highly recommended.

Great food, great drinks, great company. Oh and a fab view! The Brewers Arms in now owned by the village, and has new tenants, who cook great food! Grub back on the menu 5 days a week, including Sunday roasts . Lots to do to...

A cracking little community run pub! Really welcoming and a lovely atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic pub with real characterful place friendly chatty staff. Just need a few more beers on tap and they would be away. How do you tell a good pub? Check the bathroom. 4/5 had everything you need and very clean. Have a pint: are the...

Lovely friendly local pub. Good beer selection. Highly recommend

No food available at lunchtime! The only way a pub in this location is going to be viable, is to cater for hikers at lunchtime. So I can't see how this pub is going to survive.

Great traditional pub, with a reasonable selection of traditional ales and a few snacks (cobs etc) which come in handy after a long walk over the hills. It's a great location and is currently aiming for a community buyout which would be great if it succeeded.

Lovely lady behind the bar. She even bought me a pint for my birthday. She was just so pleasant to talk to.

A great pub to go too, I went to the open day when the bbq and music was being played. All the staff were super friendly and looking forward to visiting more after a walk up the hills.

Stopped for something to eat on Bank Holiday Monday - only serving burgers and hotdogs from the BBQ - which hit the spot Although the coffee machine wasn't working the lady behind the bar made us both a mug of good Yorkshire tea There was...
