The Drum and Monkey in Malvern Hills

Enjoyed a delightful lunch at the Drum. Had the split pea soup with rustic bread, and side of chips, perfectly made. Delicious!

Gave this 5* last time we visited, not so good now, AVOID the scampi it’s not scampi it’s the cheapest mushed up white fish Bookers can supply, even the bread crumbs are nasty. Partner had ham egg and chips, only one egg but lots of ham. Beer good and well kept, staff indifferent, not worth a special journey anymore. Sad.

Visited on Sunday evening to enjoy the music. Wonderful evening. Scampi in the basket was delicious served with homemade tartare sauce yum! Our two dogs were also made very welcome. Looking forward to another Sunday music evening as soon as we can escape. Thank you to Tara Nigel and Rachel. We'll be back!!

We used this great pub for the lunch stop for the West Wilts VMCC June run . Great food and service. Would highly recommended.

Fabulous pub. Warm Iviting atmosphere. Delicious food. Nigel and Rachel are wonderful hosts. Thank you! We will be back!

Really disappointed. Booked Sunday lunch in advance but did not realise that pub has recently changed hands. Very limited menu (choice of roast lamb or roast chicken) and that was it. Online menu had suggested there was a variety of options even for a Sunday lunch. Nothing else on offer. Standard of cooking was poor. Roast potatoes way overdone. Won't be going again.

My wife and I had Sunday lunch in this lovely country pub which was very warm and clean with a great pint of beer and pleasant wine. The landlady was very friendly, welcoming who I believe was the chef for our meal which was served just as we like it. Good quality lanb and vegetables cooked as we like it at home not mass produced frozen food from a wholesaler and reheated in a microwave. Keep up the good work we will return.

Staying in the area for a few days, we were recommended The Drum and Monkey and duly visited. Large sign outside reading “Best Pub for Miles” so we were hopeful. What a disappointment. No welcome by the staff, a couple of locals at the bar and someone yelling on the phone. The pub resembled a Welsh tearoom and was cold. Eventually got served and no problem with the drinks ordered. Simple menu on a board on the bar but no others in sight. Would not recommend.

Myself and my husband were staying in the area for the weekend and visited this pub on the Friday night. The landlady was welcoming and friendly and the food was brilliant. My husband had a pie and I had homemade lasagna, we both had sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert. Every bit was delicious. Thank you! If ever we found ourselves in the area again we would definitely return.

What a great place, friendly staff good home cooked food at a fair price and the Landlady Liz goes the extra mile to ensure a good time is had, highly recommended

What a fantastic stay over with great friends making memories All the staff including patches the dog were excellent food was too die for . If there were any faults that's mine as we only stayed 1 night Thoroughly Recommend

Quiet when we were there but a lovely menu with good food cooked to order Wish we’d discovered it earlier in our holiday instead of the last day

My friend I met here for a catch up after more than a year. Perfect location just outside town as Blues festival meant parking difficult. Liz was so welcoming and kind. Went beyond the beyond as she phoned to tell us I’d forgotten something. Food was great. Pies and mash and gorgeous veg. Bread and butter pudding was sublime. Wine was wonderful. We shall return.

Driving around looking for a dog friendly pub for Sunday lunch and came across this gem. We were made to feel very welcome as was our Labradoodle, Dylan. The landlady and staff were all lovely and friendly but at the same time efficient. The food was home cooked and delicious, it was just a shame that we didn’t leave enough room for a pud 🤭

Landlady was extremely rude. Social skills were poor and unnecessarily spiky. Wouldn't eat or drink there. Plenty of really lovely places nearby.

Very welcoming hostess, nothing was too much trouble and the food was great. Old characterful,building . Background music was very discrete

Booked this over the phone , reviews said camping was £22 a night , we got charged £30 so prices must have increased, didn't question it with the landlady as we were having food and drinks , booked a table for 7 pm , food was good , and thought we may have got a little discount off the bill with paying £30 as some places do give it you back off your food bill spent £75 on this , so All in all a dear night stopover !!! £105 . Toilets could do with a good clean, and only 1 shower worked and that was just about capable of being called a shower, ok as a one off . One of our party only eats chicken , and has it plain , no chicken offered only in brie and parma ham which wasnt available anyway , so had to have chicken nuggets and chips as an adult meal , found the landlady quite rude about this , and also when asking for sauces shouted have you already ordered them ? We had but also wanted mayo and vinegar too , attitude was a little off putting 😒 not sure if that's how it is , or just a bad day 🤔

A mile or so outside of Upton upon Severn, the Drum and Monkey is a delightful pub that sells a cracking pint of Butty Bach and excellent food. Probably not the biggest menu going, but I prefer this, but the food on offer is good value and good quality. We’ve stopped here a number of times over the past few months and tried various meals off the menu. The gammon is excellent as are the pies which are crammed full of meat and very tasty indeed. My wife particularly loves the fish dish (sea bass). Zoe, the bar person when we usually call in, is a delight with a great sense of humour and Liz the licensee clearly knows how to run such a business. The pub has a large area for caravans and campers which is clearly popular throughout the year and with such a pub on site, I can understand why.

Booked a table of 6 for a lads reunion Sunday Lunch. Specials board was unavailable as it was Mothers Day so we all had the roasts (we had beef, lamb, pork and 1 person had the chicken) - the food was all delicious and portions were really big. Liz (landlady) and her team were very friendly and attentive. The pub was dog friendly and our Lab was a bit overtired and reactive so Liz even went to get a dog treat for him. Unfortunately we didn’t stay for dessert but we would definitely come back when in the area!

Popped in by chance after visit to nearby Upton on Severn on way back to Gloucester. Beautiful pub garden, small but very pretty and lovely, well maintained caravan park attached. Small Sunday menu, roasts plus couple of other dishes including vegetarian. Very helpful landlady who checked re our meals in the garden, great food for good price; yorkies very light! Offered puds but declined but all homemade. Will visit again as very peaceful setting too, thank you.

Ate in the pub while we were camping, dog friendly, friendly staff ànd good food. Short walk into upton upon severn through fields.

We stayed at the caravan site at the pub so ate on the Friday night and the Sunday lunchtime before we left. Both meals were delicious and the service was very good. My husband loved the Ledbury ale on tap.

Liz and her well-drilled team provide a warm welcome and superlative lunch experience. Whitebait starter and roast beef main were both near-perfect and deserts came free (!). Not sure if that was a winter promotion or whether it will continue. Add to that the cosy...

Went to drum and monkey for sunday lunch was a fantastic friendly service . My sunday lunch was fantastic very tasty . but i was sad that the roast potatoes looked lush but was not freshly cooked they tasted like they was pre cooked and...

D&M is a lovely little gem in Upton upon Severn. Despite the efforts of Storm Franklin, we had a fab overnight stay on site. Liz and Zoe provided the best hosting…good food, good vibe, will be back 👍🏽 Thanks…Sharon n Mark

Booked in for Sunday lunch today. First time in the pub and would recommend it to others. Food and hospitality was superb 👍

What a lovely pub! If you’re ever in the area you must visit here. Such a lovely sense of community. Wonderful food, great service from the lovely Liz and lots of attention from patches the dog. Enjoyed a Sunday roast cosied up by the fire.

A groupof 12 of us arranged an evening meal out which didn't cost an arm and leg . We all had the same main course a lovely cottage pie and a selection of vegetables but for dessert there were 4 choices incl bread and butter...

Decided to stop at the Drum and Monkey for lunch on our way home from the Wye Valley. The food was excellent served by friendly staff in "cosy pub surroundings". We will definitely return next time we are in the area.

Had a fab time. Lovely field to camp in with hook up and very clean toilet and shower blocks. Shared some fun banter with the Landlady and had some gorgeous food too! Great location, just 20 mins walk to Upton Town. Can't wait to go...

We had lunch at the Drum & Monkey today. Food was excellent - good size portions, cooked just right and well presented. Menu gave plenty of choice and I particularly appreciated the large number of gluten free options which is so unusual. I had beer...

We have had a lovely long weekend staying on the camping field and had a couple of really nice meals in the pub. Liz has been a wonderful host with friendly staff and of course Patches the dog. I've no doubt we will stay here...

Warm family style welcome, fantastic service and great food, including tasty gluten free options. The Drum and Monkey is always such a wonderful place to eat. My family and I are made to feel so special and we simply love coming here. Great with kids...

Great Sunday lunch. Pub was cool as could be as it was 30 outside ! Liz and her staff did a marvelous job keeping the customers happy . We were looked after very well All had roast - lamb was fantastic mother said. We will...

We are twice during a weeks stay in Upton - proper Sunday Lunch cooked to perfection & Pie n Chips evening meal … real chips too !! Landlady was good fun too .. Thanks

We often eat at the Drum & Monkey but this evening we had fish & chips from Upton Chippy, sat on the river bank and enjoyed them, after which we dropped into the Drum for a swift drink and as always the staff were excellent,...

We hadn’t been to this pub for some while, but decided to call in one weekday evening for a drink. We weren’t sure it was open when we drove onto the car park as there were few cars on the car park, but fortunately it was open and we were greeted by a charming young lady who was chatty and very efficient. I had a pint of Butty Bach which was delightful and my wife enjoyed her coffee so we decide to have a meal. I opted for a homemade steak and Stilton pie with chips and veg £11.95 and the wife chose a fish pie £13.25. Both meals went down well as did a further Butty. The Stilton didn’t come through in my pie, but the meat was tender and plentiful and it was a real pie and most enjoyable.I have no doubt that we will call in again in the not too distant future as we enjoyed our food, drinks and visit.

What a fantastic weekend. We stayed on the campsite within rolling distance of the pub. Liz and the regulars made us feel so welcome we laughed, ate great food and drank. Nothing was too much trouble. We will be back for part 2.

We were a party of 7 raging from 16 to 75 and we all came away feeling very well looked after and fed. Liz is an excellent host serving choice real ale and quality food.

Great campsite for exploring Upton and Malvern. Chilled out site. Only downside is the toilet and shower block. It’s unclean, sometimes without toilet roll and soap. The showers are woeful too. When people are washing up no water comes out of them, then they go cold, then water warms up, then dribbles again due to poor pressure etc. Cubicle doors don’t lock. I wouldn’t say they’re great for families, I was scared to put anything down because the place was dirty.

Stopped here for lunch on way to Devon, kick started our holiday! Delicious pies, homemade chips, even picky son raved about the burger, friendly staff, well kept beers, white wine chilled and delicious. Covid precautions in place, very clean. Most of all charming friendly staff. Excellent!!

Nice location, surrounded by countryside. Garden well laid out for COVID use. Inside looked pleasant (closed coz of COVID restrictions).The family who run the establishment are exceptionally friendly, making you feel very welcome. The service they provided was excellent.Food was nothing special but good homemade fayre. Excellent value for money.

The wood burner fire soon banished the wet night outside and we had a warm welcome with Covid restrictions fully observed but unobtrusive. Our meal was very tasty and generous and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.

We had a fantastic meal, the Sunday lunch was outstanding, exceptional quality, freshness and taste. The young lady who served us was a pleasure to talk to she was friendly and couldn’t do enough to ensure we had everything we wanted. The lovely lady we spoke it, assuming she was the landlady, made a point of coming over to talk to us, she made us feel very welcome. The young man was great too and Patch the dog. The atmosphere is great. It’s very clean and they take every precaution with cleanliness to ensure all customers are safe. I would highly recommend, the owner should be very proud of the great customer service the staff gave, we are on holiday and hoping to go back before heading home. A very big thank you to all for a great experience and the best lamb we’ve ever had!

Unfortunately I cannot recommend you book to eat at the Drum and Monkey until they resolve their booking process issues. I was visiting the area with family, so I planned for meals in advance and booked a table for 9 for my nephew’s birthday a week in advance. I received a call from the manager on my answerphone, which I saw later in the evening, the night prior to our booking saying the reservation had been cancelled with no reason given, and no apology. I phoned the following day to enquire about the reason and was told that someone had taken the booking but they had no tables available and the manager had only checked the bookings the night before. I find this quite unprofessional and would like to recommend that training is given to staff about taking bookings and that bookings can only be made if tables are available. Also it would be sensible to check what bookings are in place several days in advance so that if any errors have been made the customer can be notified in advance which will allow them to make alternative arrangements.

Extremely tasty pub lunch!! . Liz did such an amazing job at accommodating a large group and all plates of food were delicious.10* on the PIES Thank you so much To Lily may & Tammy for the most amazing service! We had such a lovely afternoon! And will come again & recommend

Visited for dinner on 19th August. Pub is spotlessly clean, landlady is friendly (ignore other comments on here that she is rude, she is a character and clearly passionate about what she does). Food is outstanding some of the best pub food you find. Portions are good.Overall a very pleasant night.

I came here with my friends on a sunday. Liz was the best host we have ever had. They even gave us extra food for no extra cost! The food was fantastic as was the hospitality. 10/10 would come again. Ps Paul was also great.

5th time here. Great little campsite. Stones throw from Upton and Malvern hills. Good price with good facilities. Me and my friend come with our kids for the weekend. The pub is run by a lovely lady serving good ale and food. Warm and welcoming. Shout out to our waitress, Tamzin Allen, lovely to talk to and her smile could light a thousand rooms.

We stopped for 3 nights the campsite was clean and tidy showers water was always hot,the pub was lovely clean and tidy food and beer brilliant. The staff and Landlady very friendly and helpful we will definitely be going again we will recommend the campsites and definitely the pub to are motorhome friends.

Rude rude rude.. staff lovely, terrible boss , food probably the worst I have tried in many years. We gave it 2 attempts just in case but received the same unloved garbage on both occasions. The raw ingredients are fine but the execution in cooking is not good. Boss needs to take a back seat and leave it to someone who actually knows what they are doing. Please try but be very wary. !!!

Fantastic weekend camping with great meal Saturday (had to be the pie) and fabulous Sunday roast before setting home with a full belly

One night stay wish it had been longer.Campsite had everything you need plus beautifull pub which served amazing food. Liz very friendly constantly checking if everything ok. Food arrived quickly , hot and tasted amazing.And the waitresses were so lovely, polite and also very friendly. Well done to you all, will definitely be back.

Sat outside to eat. Waitress superb. Food very mediocre.At 8 the area outside became full of loud swearing young farmers and friends. no distancing rules or respect for other customers. Blocking exit. Ruined first evening out in 5 months. Landlady did nothing..Beware this pub is NOT SAFE......

We ate an early dinner here on Monday 3 August. 3 adults and a 5yo and a 3yo. Eat out to help out. Food was hearty, home cooked and large portions! The pies were tasty and starting to sell out according to the staff.

We booked to stay on the camp site for a night and turned up and was greeted with a very rude lady owner who really was unwelcoming and very unhelpful, we had no cash but was told it was a cash only site and was emailed this, we had no mail, due to the lady being so rude we decided to cancel and go somewhere else, can't comment on the food or beer as we didn't get that far, be prepared for an abrupt welcoming, will never return!

My family and I dined here today. The welcome was friendly, we felt safe and the roasts were apparently yummy. I had the sea bass with Mediterranean vegetables, which was well cooked and well seasoned. The portions are large so no pudding required, but they all sounded yummy!

Have rarely witnessed such awful customer service as I have this evening! We booked a table for 6.30 and were told upon booking we couldn’t be any later because of bookings coming in at 7pm. I understood this and as we were bouncing on the time (turned up at 6.31pm) made sure we had chosen our food from the on-line menu available. My husband was ordering the drinks when a lady (assuming the owner) came out and asked (rather brusquely!) whether we had signed in - even though we hadn’t been asked to by the lady serving drinks!! So we signed in at 6.33pm and then went to sit down and order our food. The owner came out and again pointed out that the order needed to be placed soon and I explained we were 99% certain as to what we wanted. We placed our order and the food was brought out at approximately 7.06pm. The ‘rush’ had arrived by then and another 3 people had turned up for food!I wish we had turned around and found somewhere more inviting. All I can say is I’m glad it’s not my local!

Lovely welcoming atmosphere Staff very accommodating Excellent food and service Will be back. Recommend the Steak and Stilton pies

Food,beer excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Campsite and facilities very good. Booked for this year.

We enjoyed a superb Sunday lunch here. Cooked to perfection, ample quantities and good beer. who could ask for more on a Sunday lunchtime?

We love the Drum and Monkey and Liz and her staff! We had a lovely meal back in Nov for our wedding anniversary, visited early December with friends and again last Sunday, with family. The lamb pie is just amazing and the Sunday roast wow, just delicious. The portion sizes are great, plenty of veg, just can't fault it. Liz always comes to say hello and check everything is ok as do the staff. The log fire was roaring, just lovely. You really need to visit!

I was visiting Upton upon Severn with friends and we stayed here in our campervans and motorhomes. The pub was very welcoming and friendly. We all had a great meal one night and just drank on the second night. Money is tight. The camping ground is flattish and has the usual facilities and ehu. All for a reasonable price. Sadly Upton was very badly flooded, be we visited anyway and spent money there too.

Wow what can I say fabulous pub and camping site. Amazing food and liz the landlady is a fabulous host looked after our group all weekend couldn't have asked for more. The waitress were polite and chatty and loved the dogs we had with us oh forgot to say dog friendly pub as well. Our meal was perfectly served and tasted amazing. Thank you so much liz and the staff for having us. Will see at Christmas

Monday evening was very quiet with only four of us eating but locals enjoying an evening drink created a pleasant atmosphere of a country pub. Pre dinner drinks ordered and menus arrived offering a wide choice all of which are freshly cooked which suited us fine enabling pleasant conversation with our friends. Each of us ordered something different and all arrived at the table at the same time so we were able to tuck in together something that appears to be lacking in neighbouring establishments! I had ordered the liver and bacon as only I like in my family, so when it arrived Liz, the owner was anxious that it lived up to my expectations and I can assure it did, tasty pan fried liver and perfectly grilled bacon, my mouth is watering as I write!Thoroughly recommended go and visit enjoy the food and ignore negative comments!

Warm welcome, superb service, fabulous food and brilliant beer! We enjoyed a really special evening with friends in this perfect pub. Meals are cooked to order allowing diners time to savour a pint of Butty Bach (or a glass of chilled white wine), to enjoy the warmth of the wood-burning stove and to catch up on all the news. A great evening, the highlight of our autumn break in and around Malvern. Thank you all! You can't beat the Drum!

Poor campsite even more service in the pub tried two nights in a row for food and the lady said wait and an hour but still can’t guarantee food just rubbish for a country pub wouldn’t come again only good thing was the dog

After our journey to our holiday Cottage we booked a table for 7.00 pm. Staff were lovely. Good pub food, nice ambience with happy country pub feel. It made a great start to our holiday.

Called here for lunch on trip to see our new puppy. Busy with bookings for Sunday lunch, but they managed to find us a table. Good quality home cooked food and the beer was excellent. Friendly and helpful landlord. Would recommend booking in advance as quite small inside.

Good ale and food and a very dog friendly traditional pub. Would be very happy to visit again.

What a lovely welcoming pub. Friendly staff and regulars. Dog friendly... luckily so are we. Had the previous reviews not stated 'pies to die for' we probably would not have been so disappointed. The food was average, and we did order a variety of pies. It wasn't bad, there was nothing really that you would complain to the pub for or send the meal back, but it was far from exceptional.

Good location, staff trying to get it right, but way beyond their ability. Long long long wait and really poor food.

What a gem. This place gets extra stars as they are dog friendly. We take our three dogs and we al love the atmosphere and food at this place. They are warm and friendly to us and our dogs. The chef in person checks out how you enjoyed your food. You will not be disappointed. This is a great place for dogs and children. They are most accommodating and extremely warm and friendly. A must go to place.

Very rare that I leave a 5 star review but this is well deserved .

Very welcoming pub. Good food including vegetarian options, reasonable prices. Dog friendly. Real ale including butty Bach.

The delightful barmaid Jackie was very accommodating and during our visit she made us feel very welcome! It was a very enjoyable afternoon thanks to her presence! We shall return! I could of quite as easily been in Buckingham palace with the queen!

Popped in for lunch. The menu was varied and should please most people. We sat int he garden which was just right. The food was freshly cooked and took a little while to appear but I prefer that rather than ping ping food. Drinks were really reasonable. Well worth a visit if in the area.

Had a really nice quiet meal for 4. Simply superb Butty Bach beer with a wide and interesting food menu including lovely home made pies (3 out of 4 of us had pies .... my steak, ale and stilton was fab!!) ... lovely home made puds too .....Rhubarb & Ginger Crumble and Bread & Butter Pudding were both soooooo tasty!!

First visit with friends who had booked this venue for an evening meal. We had starters and mains which were tasty and well cooked, overall a place to visit coupled with a very friendly landlady. When next in the area would definitely visit again.

The campsite was very spacious, showers and loo's very clean, we had a great meal on the saturday night, cant wait to go back,See you soon, Neal and Jacqui Keech

Stayed on the caravan park for 3 nights no electric hook up. Field is undulating so enter slowly, preferably with someone walking along side. No one comes out to greet or help site you which is a bit naff so its take your pick. However the staff and landlady are very nice people and approchable, Im sure they would have helped if asked. That said its cheap and there is a shower / toilet block. The toilets however have a tendency to clog up!! which is a bit crap pardon the pun. All in all though we Had a great time

Arrived at 8:00 to be told that although the kitchen was open to 8:30 (per website) as they had been busy they would not be able to take our order. There were at least 50% of the tables empty. At 8:30 a couple arrived and had there order taken, locals apparently have an alternative time universe. We asked why as we were staying for four nights they could not accommodate us. The barman said the landlady’s decision was final. As is ours; we and our friends will make sure we don’t trouble them again this year, have cancelled our ccc booking for next, and will patronise the many accommodating establishments in Upton whilst at the blues festival.

Having decided to stop here as I’d heard the food was good, I write this as I am still waiting. We have been waiting for nearly an hour with no more than 6 other guests. As it’s a warm day I cannot be bothered to create a scene but 5 more minutes and that’s it.

We were on route home and stopped at Strensham service station on the M5/M50 junction. We wanted a meal but something different to what the service station was offering. I did a quick search and found The Drum and Monkey which was only 6 miles away (12min).

Called in after a long Sunday walk at 2.30pm and we served although technically we had missed the lunch period. Super Sunday lamb roast and sea bass hit the spot. Returned later that week one evening and again had great home made pies. The place was rammed with the local Young Farmers which gave a lively evening. If you want good honest pub food look no further.

We arrived early, wanting to miss the rush as this pub had such good reviews we thought it was bound to be busy. We walked into an empty pub (it appears the landlady and the barman has decided to wee/smoke at the same time). The dog who welcomed us was friendly, but unfortunately incapable of pouring a pint. When we asked if we could eat we were told there was a table of 5 booked and they would take precedence- no problem, we weren’t in a rush (although alarm bells were starting to ring).

We arrived on a little early on Saturday afternoon to stay at the pods, decided to fill our hour with a beer (ok, 2)! Liz was lovely, even giving one of our children a ‘special plaster’ after he fell over. They also definitely appreciated her lollipops.

Visited the restaurant several times during our five night stay. Food and Service was brilliant, taking into account how busy they were with the camping field full! The Sunday roast beef lunch was the best! Thank you. Yes we will return ......

Visited here several times over the weekend. Cannot fault the food or the service.amazing steak, amazing fish pie. Service was spot on considering they were so busy due to our weekend arrival. Special mention to patches the resident dog !!

We agree with the last review from louise a the manageress was not very friendly at all and quite abrupt with some of the customers.We had booked a table for 8 people at 7pm, We were told that we might have a bit of a wait to take our order as they were busy(it didn't look that busy) and were told by the inexperienced waitress who seemed to be doing everything that a few items on the menu were unavailable she had to keep going backwards and forwards to the kitchen to check. The food eventually arrived at 8.15, no one came to check if everything was ok. Waited again for ages to try and order desserts..We will not be returning here again.

We booked online and were told they couldn’t then find our booking, they then eventually did. Upon arrival, the owner/manageress never offered any warm welcome at all. She looked miserable the whole time we were there and didn’t greet any customer warmly. I felt sorry for the young waitresses who seemed to be doing all of the hard graft with little managerial support. We had to ask for a menu and ask to order as table service was erratic, with the staff keep frantically looking at their booking lists- obviously their system clearly needed some work. The ambience was uninspiring. The food was good but that was let down by the hostility coming from this one woman. When we go out for a meal, you pay for the atmosphere and as this wasn’t there I shall not be returning in a hurry, it doesn’t matter how good the food is. It is a shame as we are local but I can list countless other places that offer a warm welcome on arrival and you feel valued as a customer. The restaurant wasn’t even busy so I would hate to see how they run when it is busy. A shame as a lovely building.

Had a lovely birthday meal here. Lots of mains choice for gluten free eaters (not as much in the pudding range) and we had beautifully cooked steaks, colourful vegetables and tasty local ice creams. Huge log burner kept us warm, great food and very friendly, attentive staff made a very enjoyable relaxing evening. Will return - highly recommended.

Decided to give the drum and monkey a try for a meal on Saturday night after coming to their fireworks display in November. The menu looked great and I hoped it lived up to my expectations. Some fairly daft comments from other trip advisor reviews didn’t put us off and I’m pleased to say we couldn’t have been happier. Our food was delicious and the staff were all really friendly. I can recommend the chicken with stuffed Brie and the Stilton sauce I had as a side. All really fresh and tasty! Thank you very much, Liz, we’ll be back!

Food was really good and the service was just as amazing, would come here again, I recommend this to future customers as it is the best restaurant in upton!

A very good offer, deceptively simple, well presented. A very nice atmosphere, charming hostess. Altogether very nice.

A warm welcome is the best I can say about our dinner for three, as two of did not enjoy our meals. My mushroom starter tasted of cooking oil. The fish pie didn’t taste of much at all and was a bit watery and the lemon slice was buried inside it. (frozen Fishermans Pie from Tesco’s is £1 and tastes much better).

We always wanted to test this pub. Came in on January for a light lunch. Nice staff. Decent if not memorable sandwiches. But, my God, it was so cold. We kept our coats and left as soon as possible. The toilets were even more freezing.

We met for a pre Christmas lunch today. Such a friendly welcome. The table was laid beautifully, the decorations were lovely and the food was delicious. I love 'The Drum and Monkey' and will definitely return.

We haven’t been to The Drum & Monkey for a while but liked the look of the Christmas Menu and booked for 8. The food was fantastic - Without exception, but if I get the chance I’m going back for another Beef Wellington. Plenty of veg including plenty of parsnips.

Don't bother unless you are desperate there are plenty of far better establishments in Upton upon severn.
