Refreshing to find a place doing things right on all counts. The menu is not the stock fare of the chains and their ilk. The quality of the food is also very high. I would highly recommend this place.

We meet some friends for a Christmas get together. We were warmly greeted and taken to our table. We could not fault the service throughout our stay. The meals were well presented and extremely tasty. There was not enough room, on the table, for the accompanying dishes to the meal. The vegetables were and remained hot in the bamboo steamer, excellent idea. rather than leaving vegetables in an open dish to go cold . The Wainwrights was refreshing and well kept as was the other guest beer, but I cannot remember its name. A good wine list, the ladies settling for a Pingot. A very friendly and welcoming pub. Fine dinning in a pub. No gimmicks, just good food, excellent drinks and excellent friendly service.

Lunch at the Fountain… a warm and polite greeting shown table and ordered drinks from the extensive list all undertaken very efficiently …great selection on the menus and at very good prices. I opted for the prawns and my wife the lemon sole… both devoured …. For desserts we had cheesecake and the crumble with custard…plates left completely clean. Not our first visit, the Fountain has become a regular venue for us… today was a flawless dining experience we recommend a visit if you want value, quality and impeccable service…

I've been a loyal patron of this pub/restaurant for many years, consistently impressed by the quality of both the food and service. Unfortunately, my recent visit left me quite disappointed. While the staff were warm, friendly, and made us feel very welcome, the food has noticeably declined. What used to be a delightful dining experience has turned into a disappointment of cheap quality dishes at premium prices. I ordered the Roast Turkey with all the trimmings, expecting slices of succulent turkey breast. Instead, I was served what felt like processed turkey circles. The gravy was watery and lacked flavor, which was a letdown. For dessert, I opted for the homemade chocolate brownie, but it was so dry that it crumbled apart. Given this experience, I’m sad to say I won’t be returning anytime soon.

We were greeted very well and shown to our table quickly! Drinks orders were taken but rather slow in being served! We ordered sea bass which was ok! Potatoes were served and then we waited a long time for our vegetables by which time potatoes and fish were getting cold! Not the service or good service usually found at the Fountain! Staff were pleasant especially the gentleman who greeted us and one of the waitresses the others were rather off hand!

I have lived in Clent on and off since birth in '68. So after a long walk, Sally my dog who weighs 2.5 kgs, and I thought we'd treat ourselves to half a pint of beer, and popped into a country pub. As there were people eating, I picked her up and headed to the bar. Before we were two yards from the bar a young (ahem) gentleman appeared - shaved head, beard, horn rimmed glasses, you know the type – and said, “sorry mate you can't bring the dog in the bar.” I told him that I was carrying her we just wanted half a pint to drink outside at which he said, “sorry mate you're going after leave her outside.” I told him that we just wanted a swift half, and we'll drink it outside at which he said again, “sorry mate; tie her up outside first". I advised him that I was not his mate, I was a customer; to which he said again, "sorry mate - dog outside!" I told him. “up yours”. This used to be a beautiful country pub where you could have a beer or, if you wanted, dine in style. Talk about being silly! This is ridiculous! There’s a place in Hagley that lets dogs in and is far cheaper and less pretentious! Well done the King Arthur! I'd recommend the Fountain to anybody who likes expensive beer and try to impress someone, and thinks they’re better than people who’ve lived there half a century; but drive out into the country, think you're in a country pub, and this is how they treat locals – and you eat there??? You bunch of idiots. As for the staff – I will not lower myself to use the words you deserve.

We ate here a couple of weeks ago and it was lovely, but this time my son's steak was unpleasant, chewy and somewhat tough. It hadn't been rested or seasoned properly. My lemon sole was very bland and un-seasoned. I'll pass it off as a bad day at the office for the chef we like the place and the staff, but the sirloin steak was nearly £30 which was quite expensive for what was a poorly cooked dinner. He was young and didn't complain too much, but said near the end it was disappointing, which is why we didn't raise it at the time. Thank you

On a sunny Saturday afternoon, we ventured to The Fountain at Clent, ready to savour their reputed menu and soak in the serene atmosphere. Little did we know, we were up against the clock—food served indoors until 2 pm and the patio menu stretching till 2:30 pm. But did that throw a wrench in our lunch plans? Not at all. Why, you ask? Because the hospitality here could soften the hardest of deadlines. With a friendly smile and a subtle wink, the staff reassured us that time was but a concept (or at least, not one to be worried about on a Saturday!). The indoor menu may have ended, but the patio served not just dishes, but happiness on a plate. The food was delicious, the sun was shining, and the sense of calm was unparalleled. We left not only full, but fully charmed. For a place where the time restrictions on food somehow feel like an invitation to relax, laugh, and enjoy life, The Fountain at Clent is an absolute must-visit!

So very disorganised and not very friendly. Got told no service before 12 then we sat and watched multiple people getting served before 12. Looked to order food despite our reservations to be asked for a table number. There were no table numbers. Then they realised they hadn’t put table numbers out. Great location really let down by a staff team that do not seem to be capable of running a pub. This is a shame and may not be representative of the general level of service from this pub. It is a great location however.

Enjoyed our evening very much,good food and drink,pleasant efficient staff and a nicely situated table in a peaceful location.As a vegetable lover always enjoy the selection offered here as many places hardly give any veg at all.The menu always has a good choice on it to suit all.The main courses are the best value with the staff always offering more veg if you require it.The bowl of soup tends to be on the small side but the fish goujons were excellent as were the battered prawns.The lemon tiramisu was very tasty but my friends were disappointed with their white chocolate crème anglaise as it was so tiny in a small glass bowl.We remarked on the size to the waitress who replied guess it’s the luck of the draw meaning they chose poorly I didn’t. Will definitely visit again perhaps we should ask the size of the dessert before ordering though.

Mains of Beef Wellington, Risotto and steak and kidney pie were spot on and came with dauphinoise & chipped potatoes along with steamed greens and carrots!

Love this place. Lamb shoulder and beef wellington are faultless. We don't have a starter as the main is very filling. This keeps the cost down to a reasonable level as the mains look expensive at first sight (£27'ish)

On a table of four, two of us had great meals - the lamb and risotto but the other two were very disappointed with their choice - the halibut. We think it was the last portion they had as they told others it was no longer available on the menu. The servings we had were described as ‘tasteless’ and ‘grey and rubbery’. Being British we didn’t complain at the time but it was disappointing

I always have the lamb shoulder and it's always wonderful. Don't ever change this meal..... it's great. My wife has the beef wellington and that is always good too. Don't ever change this either. It sounds expensive at £27 each but we can't manage to eat it after a starter so skipping these, it turns out reasonable. We go a couple of times a year and look forward to it and love it every time. Never disappointed.

Lovely welcome on arrival - seated quickly & drinks order taken. Ordered one meal of the fixed price menu and one off the a la carte. Food was served very promptly and was lovely and hot. I had the Big Tiger Prawns starter following by the Smoked Haddock Chowder and my husband had the Breaded Plaice starter, steak main and finished with the cheese board. All the food was cooked to perfection. It was our anniversary and it made the day perfect for us. Cannot wait to return (especially for those Big Tiger Prawns) Also want to add a note to say the staff were very amazing and very plesant - such a change as these days most places you visit the staff are just so miserable.
