The Defford Arms in Wychavon

Fab carvery, every veg thought of and all the meat tender and tasty. The homemade cheesecake was wonderful also. All the staff very attentive and courteous. Would 100% return if we was in the area again.

Stopped off here on our way back down from the Peak District for the Sunday Carvery and it was delicious. Couldn’t fault it at all. Lots of choice at the carvery, all piping hot and veg tasted fresh. We had a warm chocolate brownie with ice cream and a cheesecake for dessert and it was superb. Best carvery we’ve had in a long time.

Sunday carvery was probably the best I've ever had absolutely brilliant good quality food piping hot highly recommend.

Really nice meal and we'll looked after.

Great food, great staff, great all-round

Top notch carvery. All fresh veg cooked to perfection. A generous cut off meat, and well kept ale.

Had been a fair few years since I’d been here. Now a carvery type place but not like the average carvery, food was always fresh and you get a slot to go up so aren’t shoulder to shoulder. Food was still just as good though!

Moho Stop over. No hesitation in going back for overnight. Looking forward to friendly professional Staff and yummy Food worth the wait. beer not the best would have liked a bottle as turnover seamed a bit slow, beer in pipes to long served warm, staff did try hard to serve a decent pint pored some off, just be carefully what you order or pick a busy time, not put off thou.

Very good food injoyed every bit

I had my birthday meal with my sons and family lovely food and the staff was so good nothing to much trouble would highly recommend you try there food.

We were told that we hadn’t been called to get our carvery when we went to get our food having not been before and no one told us this was embarrassing! While there was a good choice of vegetables they were not very warm! Yorkshire pudding was cold! Carrots cold! Roast potatoes dry! As for pudding sticky toffee pudding was also served cold?? Staff not very attentive as understaffed for the amount of customers! Overall very disappointed!

Lovely staff and very nice carvery meal. Easy wheelchair access to ground floor restaurant.

Recommended Friendly staff and lovely Sunday lunch

Booked for Friday 19 April as we wanted to sample the cod & chips which was on offer @ £20 for 2. My wife who is from Yorkshire where the locals are proud of there f&c thought that the Defford meal was probably better. Great praise Indeed. We will be back for sure.

Popped in on the off-chance we could get late Sunday lunch. Staff helpful carvery good value excellent choice of vegetables, all tasted really good. Some clientele did not know how to talk with each other without whole pub hearing, but you can getbthst anywhere. Well worth a visit.

Dropped in without a booking on a busy Saturday evening, managed to fit us in for a outstanding carvery. Absolutely superb food, super helpful, friendly waiting staff. Compliments to chef, top class. Thank you very much. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food and service. Made very welcome for our first visit. Will definitely be back.

Came for Sunday carvery. Was good value. We seemed to be passed by for dessert and waiited a while which meant we were actively encouraged to leave to accommodate the next sitting.......

Went for lunch on Mothers day. Fabulous carvery with lots of choice. Would definitely recommend

Food was great and there was a good choice of vegetables. I wasn’t impressed with the decor or the furnishings. Our table was wobbly and had a beer mat stuffed under one of the legs, the chairs were ripped and peeling and highly uncomfortable. I understand that it’s a busy place, but when you’re a party of four, cramped in the corner opposite a party of about 12, it feels really claustrophobic.

Overall we really enjoyed our Sunday dinner at the Defford Arms. I had prebooked us a table so we could secure a table - only to be found we were put in a fairly cramped corner by the door with really uncomfortable seats which didn’t make the meal the most pleasing experience. The food was great for the price and really tasty. Overall I would recommend going for their food but hopefully next time we are offered a more pleasant place to sit to enjoy our food as no one enjoys being too cramped up whilst eating. I would have given the 4th star if the seating situation was better.

Was driving through and needed a pit stop and Sunday carvery and Google maps brought up the Defford Arms. Carvery stops at 6pm on Sunday like most places around here by the looks of it. Cosy pub, friendly and the carvery meat and veg selection was superb. Da iawn.

We turned up late afternoon on Sunday, having not booked, they squeezed us in when they were clearly very busy. The food was great, huge selection of veg for the carvery. Puddings of cheesecake and brownies, were also lovely! We will definitely be back!"

We had our first Sunday carvery yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. Choice of 4 meats which were moist and tasty and such a huge choice of veg. All piping hot and delicious! I would say it's the best carvery I've had in a very long time. Deserts were also great as was the service! Will definitely be back for both the carvery again and to try the main menu! Recommended!

We ordered a carvery and still as good as always!!!! Good food , good service!!!! We really enjoyed it!!!!! Very recommended !!!!! Thanks!!!!

Good food, visited for a Carvery, always plenty of hot, fresh cooked vegetables and a choice of meats. Great menu if not wanting carvery. Free car park adjoining the pub. Advisable to book as very popular.

Lovely food, staff are very friendly accommodating staff. We went for the fish and chips (2 for £20) which was lovely and a great portion size. We will definitely be back!

Lovely food, very friendly accommodating staff. Would highly recommend we had a tasty meal. Carvery was great good portion size, lots of veg choice not shy on the meat and tasted lovely. We will be back!

Very cramped space, staff too busy to care to care and full of attitude. Only one staff member stood out as polite. Not disability friendly. Food pretty average. Only one entrance in use as other exits blocked by tables which is surely a fire hazard.

Not sure why this place has so many good reviews!! We weren’t too impressed with the place! Went as part of a group of 15 for a family meal to celebrate my sister in-laws wedding. Carvery was tasty but the actual experience was chaotic and it cramped inside. Chairs have had their day, one of our party found a broken one with wobbly legs. Other chairs were stained and ripped. Decor and furniture need updating! When we arrived there were still people on our table- they obviously just turn around customers as quickly as possible! The table was so cramped- we were constantly pulling ourselves in to let others past which spoilt the enjoyment of a nice relaxing meal. There was barely any room for our pushchair, luckily we managed to cram it in behind the table. We were rushed off the table too. The food was good but that was it… we won’t be going back!

One of the best carverys I have been to

Went for a carvery was busy but still fabulous friendly staff lovely food

We turned up mid lunch service with 2 hungry children and a dog. The car park was packed yet we still decided to give it a go and try our luck. When I walked in it was packed and I spoke to an incredibly polite young lady at the door who stopped what she was doing to greet me and happily said we could have a table in the garden which was perfect for us with the dog. Came in to get some drinks and order our food and again despite them all being busy and rushed off their feet the service was friendly and polite. The lady serving us advised about the wait of about half an hour food, so I paid and took our seats in the garden. I was slightly worried about the 30 minute wait as I had two hungry children yet after only about 15/20 mins we were told we could get our food. Well what can I say about the food…..I would have waited an hour for it. A beautiful piece of beef, more vegetables than you could ask for and gravy. This was just what was needed after a morning of walking in the Gloucestershire countryside. Great service and great food and a very reasonable price as well. Can’t wait to go back.

Can't comment on the rooms, wasn't aware they had any. Food is consistently good. I'm not a big lover of carveries, but this is the exception.

Great food, good price, great people.

Nice pub, delicious food, allowed to charge all equipment, phone, etc., even allowed to put our groceries cold. We were on a motorcycle ride It felt very homely.

Lovely large fish and chips Friday night back today Sunday for carvery great selection of vegetables and meat. Carvery served Wednesday/ Sunday.

Had carvery last week, excellent variety of veggies. Had the cod and chips today, a massive portion and very good. 2 for £20 on a Friday. Gave them 5 stars as food excellent

Great food and service was excellent will most definitely be back

Really good carvery and dessert, service was spot on, will definitely go back.

Amazing to be able to have a vegan option at a carvery! Lovely staff and service, not much of a pub atmosphere though. Main was a lentil Wellington in filo pastry, which had a bit of curry flavour but was mainly a bit wet and insipid. Good roast potatoes and parsnips and whole onions, watery gravy though. Good, rich vegan chocolate torte with slightly grainy coconut sorbet (or maybe it was ice cream) Guinness so-so

Excellent venue, menus, carvery. Fantastic smiling and willing staff. Love the carvery dining principal. Hot food, varying carvery choices. Well laid out for their customers. Would recommend definately 5 star plus. Great opening hours also and telephone manner.

Great carvery good selection of meat and veg all piping hot and if you have room lovely dessert menu , highly recommended

We went for lunch. The food was very nice and the staff were very friendly.

Stopped here for a carvery recently. Very good service, food was good as well. Would recommend.

Everything was lovely, all staff very polite and friendly.

First time here, carvery was delicious, staff very nice....wouldn't hesitate to visit again...

We called in on our way back from Malvern without a booking. They were very helpful and fitted us in for a quick carvery. It was very busy but the friendly staff were working very efficiently, the meat was tasty and there was a great variety of veg which was all freshly prepared. Highly recommended.

We had lunch at The Defford Arms today and it was excellent. The sea bass with vegetables was beautiful . I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Had a Sunday carvery. Lovely food and great choice of fresh veg. Reasonable price to. The beer was served warm and was tasteless. Some staff could benefit from learning about customer service

Just fantastic. Food excellent - staff friendly and helpful. Lovely bright airy room. Last minute booking for 10 people - couldn't have gone anywhere better.

This find was the best! Sunday carvery was amazing! Willy the chef was very polite and his team were very friendly and welcoming. Gets busy very quickly though so maybe book in advance. A place I'd definitely visit again!

Once again the Sunday carvery is well provided and catered for with a choice of 4 meats and their continuous flow of freshly prepared vegetables, no time for them wilting being kept warm. Book ahead if you want table inside but garden is not a problem. Close to Defford airfield if your flying in for the day...15min walk

Great couple of nights stay for my parents, clean rooms with everything they needed and the food was excellent, generous portions, well cooked & very tasty. The staff were lovely, highly recommend.

We have been to the Defford Arms in Pershore for a carvery which was amazing.Lovely tasty,well cooked hot food and plenty of choice.Really enjoyed it.

Nice pub out in the country. Very good carvery. Usually fully booked on a weekend. If the weathers nice they'll let you eat in the garden if not booked.

One of the best carveries around ! Efficient friendly staff.

Excellent Carvery. Plenty of veg choice. Great desserts. Vegetarian options available. Will definitely visit again.
