The Galton Arms in Worcester

A very nice Worcestershire pub. One if the last remaining that hasn't been 'gentrified' into one of these ghastly so called 'gastro pubs' . No sight or sound of any jus being drizzled ! Just good honest English pub food and excellent draught beers.

Great pub. Proper countryside pub.

Great pub selling Bathams. Good quality food at a reasonable price, very friendly welcome. Some of the garden tables & benches would benefit from the algae being scrubbed off but it would not put me off going back.

It was closed when it was supposed to be open!

Vegetarians beware! This pub only has two offerings. When I ordered the spaghetti arrabiata, I specified several times the vegetarian version, only for them to bring the chicken version instead. When I sent it back, they took a few minutes to return, leading me to believe they made a new one. When I got it back, halfway through eating I still found a lump of chicken, so clearly they had just (poorly) picked it off. When I told them this upon collecting the plates, the waitress was unapologetic and I was not offered any compensation. This pub is clearly not equipped to serve vegetarian customers, despite it being 2024. My advice would be to avoid all the food offerings, especially if you have allergies, as they clearly don't care about the needs of their customers.

Joe and Jane looked after our walking group so well for our lunch today. Thank you ! Nothing was too much trouble, and everyone said the food was delicious. I can highly recommend the chicken and bacon salad.

Good food great beer in a traditional country pub surroundings. Steak and fish and chips great

Nice old country pub, locals were pretty friendly too.

Nice little traditional pub with different rooms (one with a fish tank!). Food was nice, staff friendly and there's millions of parking

Lovely meal for lunch with family. Good food, hosts & drinks together with beautiful weather. Peaceful & rural location.

Excellent food at a great price with friendly helpful staff. All round brilliant place to go.

Popped in on a chilly winters lunchtime and found the staff very friendly and accommodating. The pork belly was delicious and the cider gravy really complimented the meat.

Fantastic festive meal. Very nice food & very friendly staff, thank you! Looking forward to our next visit.

Went for annual Christmas Dinner with friends and to say the whole experience was brilliant would be a massive understatement. From booking to eating the service was faultless and nothing to much trouble. The food was excellent and we all can’t wait to return and as said the staff were brilliant. An excellent family run venue.

Always a welcome here. Lovely pub, quality food.

Incredible. Wow. Amazing find. Superb staff and food. Great atmosphere. Beautiful beautiful building too and shows sport. We'll be back :) 😁

Great local pub. Wednesday Fish and Chip special is excellent as is the Bathams bitter. Thursday steak night might be visited by us soon. Revisited 20 Jul 22 to have the fish and chip special. Still good, although now £7.50. Good beer selection and reasonable price.

Good pub Bathams bitter really good

Great pub to have on the doorstep. It’s a bit of a throwback but that’s part of its charm. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Fantastic place to stop during country walks.

Came across this pub one Sunday lunchtime when we were hungry. The staff were very welcoming and showed us both the full / light menu. We had some paninis which were very tasty and filling. Will definitely go again if we are in the area.

Lovely place. Very popular midweek. Fish and chips looked amazing, but all food was fabulous. Great atmosphere, very friendly patrons. Definitely must come again.

Lovely quaint village boozer with a great selection of drinks and really friendly staff.

A great local Pub - Good menu and home cooked food with fine selection of Beers

We just taken my friend and his wife for a birthday lunch Fantastic service and very good food we were so impressed we will go again

I visited the Galton Arms on Sunday for a couple of pints with friends. I found that the staff were friendly and efficient at serving, the beer was good and the local drinkers were welcoming. I did not eat so I can't comment on the food but I can definitely recommend the beer and the hospitality.

Very nice meal and puddings all cooked very nicely

I took the family out for lunch here yesterday. Took a while to find the place as the village is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, but somehow just outside Droitwich. The pub has a large car park at the back and customers can enter the pub through the back door and turn right into the bar. We sat at a table in the bar, rather than in the small restaurant. Mum had some fried mushrooms for starters while I had the whitebait and squid and the little one had the prawns with Ciabatta bread. All the food came out well prepared and we had the impression we were somewhere more expensive. When the mains arrived, consisting of Fish and Chips with mushy peas, a large brie and bacon sandwich with fries for me and a 12 oz sirloin steak for the little they looked and tasted delicious. The steak looked cooked for perfection and my daughter devoured it with delight. It was all washed down with a pint of ale for me and soft drinks for them. I don't know how much it all cost as mum got her purse out, but overall we were very impressed. Great place to visit if you're looking for a nice lunch in the country.

Lovely pub. Very welcoming with great food and selection of ales.

Fantastic food, wonderful atmosphere and awesome staff that always make us feel so very welcome.

We have reviewed this pub before but as it keeps delivering it deserves another positive review! We normally cycle down as its only around 10 miles and a lovely ride plus we get to sample the Bathams! The food is brilliant and delivers every time which sadly many pubs do not. We think the prices (not gone up) are excellent the service excellent the location? yes excellent. Staff are brilliant and trust me the landlady knows exactly what she is doing! spot on service does not go unnoticed nowadays. Thank you all at the Galton A PROPER PUB!

Good beer and excellent fish and chip lunch for our cycling group.

Along with a group of friends, we followed a walk around the beautiful Worcestershire countryside with lunch at the Galton Arms. The food and service were excellent, the atmosphere friendly and the cost was not at all prohibitive, given the current national financial crisis.

Proper old pub with amazing food and friendly staff

Period property with quality new build houses nearby. Sat in the beer garden with my wife, brother, his wife and their Jack Russell. Ordered drinks at the bar and young lady followed me out with those I couldn't carry. Took menus outside. Went back inside to order and meals were with us without waiting long. Excellent meals and service was attentive not pushy. Would gladly have stayed there all day and evening but, I like my driving licence so 1 drink followed by a pint of Coke was enough. Will definitely go there again.

We were on a family day out taking Dad to see places he was evacuated to as a child from Birmingham in WW2. We dropped into the pub for refreshments and to find the location we were looking for. Such a warm welcome from staff and locals helping us to locate the property we were searching for. This made my dad's day. Thank you 😊

What more is there to say, they serve Bathams...

We have eaten here a few times in the last month and have had a really lovely meal every time. My husband raves about the pork belly! Will be back soon!

Fantastic local pub , the best beer Bathams, great staff and the most friendly locals you could as for , you might get the chance to meet Frank if you're kooky..

A lovely old Inn with some great ales that are well kept. Can get very lively after 5.30pm if anyone was there last Friday you will know what I mean. A fine English drinking Inn

Lovely pub, friendly staff and a great pint. Can recommend 😎👍

Great pub, friendly staff, good food and excellent beer inc Bathams. Recommended.

Good no nonsense boozer. Good ale and food and really friendly staff

Classic and slightly fading village pub. Excellent ale but these days not unique. Extremely polite and helpful service. Chips were supposed to be twice cooked but less than cooked first time around. Perfect fried egg, but local sourced ham was tasteless. Great place probably for Bathams and just a cob.

We went to the Galton last night with friends, The atmosphere in the pub is friendly and welcoming, The men had Sirloin steaks, which I have to say were the best I have had for a while. Sea Bass and Bangers & Mash for the Ladies. The food was excellent and of course the added bonus of Bathams at the bar was the icing on the cake

Friendly family run pub in the village of Himbleton. We have just had a lovely Sunday roast and dessert. Would definitely recommend this pub.

Super food. Friendly owners particular attention to gluten free allergy requirements.

'Bathams!' Heaven!!! Sunday lunch. Delicious.

Sunny day in March so decided to cycle to the Galton. So glad we did its brilliant!. Great lunch ,great service and Bathams beer which equates to perfection in my book. This pub is old school which is why its so appealing in our opinion. Cant really fault our visit ,the service or the food. Best steak ciabatta ever. Great fresh salad with lambs lettuce which we love. Thank you.

Cheapest beer in the district. Well done. Always great company. Cheers

We’ve been visiting the Galton Arms pub for around 10 years now once or twice a month for dinner and a pint or two of Bathams beer. Joe and Jane who own the pub are extremely welcoming and the beer and food are delicious. No frills pub grub but served and cooked to absolute perfection. The steak last pm was so tender and well worth the very modest £20 for a 10oz sirloin. The pub is always bustling with locals and has a great country pub vibe. It’s quite quirky inside and with low ceilings/beams so watch your head in the bar. Situated in the small village of Himbleton, it’s a real gem and well worth a visit for lunch, dinner or just a pint….. Brilliant place we live it!

A true proper old country pub. Great service, great beer, great food, great atmosphere.

Nice cosy country pub. Good atmosphere. Food looked good. Great staff. Shall visit more often

A warm, cozy pub with great food and lovely staff

We had a Sunday lunch at this pub last week. The turkey & beef was wonderful & so were the veg. However I can never understand the logic of serving frozen roast potatoes? For the cost & time involved home made roast potatoes make the meal? The potatoes were not nice at all. That said the staff were very intentive with amazing service. We have had other meals & they were very good & very reasonable. Maybe something to take on board?

Really excellent lunch. Very tasty with local vegetables al dente as they should be. This is a great local pub, with really friendly landlord and landlady . Good beers, excellent wine and very reasonable prices. We had a Friday lunch with great steak.the Sunday roasts are to die for . One of the best proper local pubs I have ever had nearby.

We popped in here after a walk in this area. Glasses were dirty, garden furniture tatty and broken. Weeds coming through the patio stones and the pub looked very sad and uncared for. This is a shame as it used to be a very good...

My parents & I last dined here in 2016 when we were last on holiday in the area, we decided to come back again for 2 nights running (Thursday & Friday last week) as we came back on holiday to this area again. Anyway, the...

Pub in a beautiful location & I’ve visited over many years albeit infrequently & seen a few landlords come & go. First time with current owners. Food beer & bar remain excellent though the food needs way more effort. My steak was just tossed on...

During lockdown when the pubs re-opened these guys were great. Lovely meal last pm, great respect for social distancing, but thank god no face masks inside the pub. It felt great ! Joe is an excellent chef (ex Savoy in London I believe) and his...

And with decent food! A booked table shortly after the green light was given for eateries to open for inside dining. Quite a limited menu, as was expected, but tasty food and well presented.

Soggy, anaemic batter, off-white mushy fish and a small portion of unmemorable chips. Not the take-away treat we were hoping for on a night's break from cooking during the Covid crisis. At £13 for two portions, this was much pricier than our usual fish'n chip...

I was invited to be one of 10 to dinner for the celebration. Smoked Salmon Roast beef done perfectly and properly medium rare with Enlish White wine and sparkling wine and a south African red It was outstanding well done to Jane and Joe

Just eaten at The Galton Arms for the first time and wasn’t impressed. We were a party of 5, 4 meals were OK, but mine was not. I had the belly pork, but it was like a large piece of fat. I told the person...

Table for two, we were put in the window seats seriously though, clean your windows and the paintwork because eating next to a window full of cobwebs is not nice at all the place looked filthy. It was empty on a Friday night for eaters...

Just home from a visit to the Galton Arms with a party of my fellow walkers. Probably the best village pub that we have visited this year. Superb food in a really warm and friendly environment.

Joe Rudge is now the owner, I have worked at Ostlers for him good chef and nice chap, great old fashioned pub no nonsense great food, ambience, decor and overall atmosphere. Very good food well worth visit.

The Galton Arms is in an unspoilt party of Worcestershire in a hidden village called Himbleton, I first discovered it some 40 years ago and keep going back. You have to be careful when in the pub as not only do the beams run across...

It’s always a bonus to find a friendly helpful pub when we are organising a group walk and the Galton Arms did just that. Very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble for our group of 16 people. Thank you ! Food was good and homely...

Don’t have one complaint, for such a small pub, what an amazing meal, starter and main course, well done everyone 🥰

4 of us came for a Sunday roast ( one beef, one turkey and two pork belly). All cooked to perfection . Succulent melt in the mouth beef and lovely tender moist turkey, I'm told the pork belly was just as good..... it certainly looked...

I went there with some friends for lunch. I had sausage and mash. There was nothing wrong with it at all, and the service was very friendly, but it was not as excellent as I had imagined from the pub's web site. The only pudding I wanted was "off". So, nothing bad to say, but not as excellent as it was billed.

We live near to this pub but do not go often enough. It is not a smart gastro eatery that can be found in nearby Crowle, but is a warm and cosy and inviting place with an open fire, interesting beer and down to earth pub grub. Very reasonably priced. Charming and friendly staff.

Saw this advertised as Michelin chef and special with homemade chips.Sounds good so far.When we went in it was very tired and in need of decoration,bit grubby.Still optimistic I specifically asked the young man who served us if the chips really were homemade as stated in advert(I hate frozen chips).He went to check and came back and assured my they were not frozen chips but homemade.Big mistake.Horrible frozen chips which I would not order unless I was misled.Bad advertising .Needless to say will not return as do not like to be mis sold a product.

We had to take our son to Himbleton Village Hall so me and my wife decided to kill an hour by having a drink at the Galton Arms just down the road and what a mistake although it was quite funny! Despite it being only 5.30 it was very busy with what I suppose locals who made it quite obvious that they didn't like strangers being in there pub! Despite being up the bar for some time, the locals sat at the bar in the corner obviously thought that they should be served first whenever they were ready for a drink and were duly served first by the barmaid. I didn't say anything due to being with my wife and when I was finally served, the glass for my Guinness that was pulled from a top shelf looked like it hadn't been washed for years! We sat in a strange snug area on some old leather sofa's and were laughing at how bad the pub was and hoping that my lad doesn't have to go to Himbleton Village Hall again in a hurry!

Great local with fantastic beer, staff and food. Always delightful. Good quality food, drinks and service. We love it and visit regularly.

This must be the best pub and eating house in Worcestershire. Great warm welcome and especially the Bathams beer on tap.

Called in On a wet Saturday we were just passing good bee nice fire and had a bite of lunch bacon and Brie baguette and hot dog great local sausage on the hotdog will be going back

The warm welcome made to feel at home. Allowing our dog to accompany us. Good food and ale. Chatting with the locals. Love to re-visit in the future.

We went there on 24 January for lunch and found excellent Batham's Bitter on draught and a value meals - all in a welcoming atmosphere and at good prices alongside a real fire.

My in laws gave been staying at a local B&B; and have visted a few times. We went to see them and came in for a meal with our young son. The staff and locals were friendly and the food was very nice. Kids and dog friendly pub. Would recommend

Popped in here with Friends on a few Wednesday Evenings for the Fish and Chip supper

Still a drinkers pub so nice atmosphere in bar. Good pub food. Good beers, famous for its bathams (I like the HPA). Lovely old building in nice village. Prices fair. Bar staff fantastic but I would say that as they are my children.

Recently visited this pub, lovely warm atmosphere, the pub was very busy indeed! Excellent choice of ales - Batham's from Dudley was my favourite, my partner had the Stowford Cider complemented by the special Fish (Pen gaseous?) peas etc and chips (in the bar) which was delicious. Mine host and colleagues were really good - all very smart indeed and so friendly. This is a great little pub and we shall be back - sooner the better!

Was invited here by a friend celebrating his 40th Birthday. There was 29 of us in total. Enjoyed a lovely fruit cider at the bar and my boyfriend had a Bathams. He had the use of the upstairs function room, so we enjoyed our Sunday lunch up there. The choice was Beef, Pork or Turkey, our table had a selection of all, it was all delicious, followed by trifle, bread and butter pudding or cheese, again, all were very much enjoyed by us all. We stayed after and enjoyed a few more drinks and a good old catch up. Lovely pub grub in a typical English pub in an idyllic village. Perfect Sunday really, thanks to the birthday boy and the staff. We will definitely return.

A cosy place with good beer and people to match not tried the food but heard good things off the locals for months excellent pint Will return

Lovely old pub, with great ale and traditional pub grub. Don't expect a spick and span renovated building, freshly painted in Farrow and Ball. This is Rural Worcestershire at its best, including spiders webs and farmers in wellies.

We arrived at 19:30 went into the pub to have a beer and meet up with the rest of the...

Este pub sirve excelente ale como tal es una pena rareza buscar. si no encontrará una selección de ale en excelentes condiciones sirve en un precioso edificio en un pueblo Virgen worcestershire. Yo todavía no han probado la comida, pero si el propietario lleva el mismo cuidado en que su cerveza que yo estoy seguro de que será genial.

Picturesque rural Worcs pub located in Himbleton near Droitwich. The title says it all. Excellent Bathams when pulled correctly and 60s cuisine. In essence great hostelry for drinkers but unfortunately not diners.

Brilliant food and a lovely atmosphere!This pub really is a credit to Worcester and a hidden gem...

If you're thinking of visiting this pub for a meal with family/friends... Think again. We had family visiting from Cornwall, and are always looking for a new place to eat. The reviews looked ok, so we thought we would give it a try. We we're the only people eating on a Saturday night, which was unsettling. After placing our orders ( there were 6 of us) we were then told that the chef was not working so some of the food was not available. I wanted to leave at that point. It was cold, my drink was awful, but you know us Brits, we say nothing and carry on.The 2 lasagnes were both not hot, 2 mushroom risottos were tasteless, scampi meal ok, ( can't really get that wrong) and the Thai curry was tasty. The staff tried hard, but I was embarrassed to have brought my family here, and everything about it was awful. I don't enjoy writing a bad review, but I feel we should have been informed on the phone that the chef was not working. Then it would have been our choice whether we still came or not. To add insult to injury, we were even charged £3.00 for 2 sodas to go with our wine. Something that is normally either free or about 40p.Sorry, but we won't be returning to this establishment.

What an utter snob Fiona H is (who wrote a bad review). She also seems anti old people and dislikes locals. In the old days when the lovely Galton was new the locals then would have probably put her on a Ducking stool!The Galton arms is one of the greatest pubs around. The staff and "locals" are the friendliest of people. People of all walks of life gather there to be sociable (unlike Fiona H). When we first went to the Galton we were treating like friends. The landlord even regards his customers as "friends". The staff are truly professional and the food is extremely well presented and of the best quality. People come from miles around to visit this great pub for the atmosphere, food and superb ales.I can't wait for our next visit and am so pleased that Fiona H wont be there to spoil things for the nicer people in this world.

Lovely old fashioned local pub with good food with lovely friendly and reliable / personable people who run it. Absolutely lovely log fire very warm and both the locals and those who run it are nice. Sometimes I wonder if I should just keep my secret and not tell everyone on TripAdvisor when I discoverer a gem. Though to do so would be very selfish. Why go to a chain pub when places like this exist? You won't be disappointed

The service was good as is the pub. The food was good but I must admit I expected it to be lots better . The variety was a little limited for vegetarian .

Friendly, homely village pub with separate dining rooms and good wholesome food from a varied menu.We had sirloin steaks and one had the battered fish. They were very good with nice chips. Not fine dining, but doesn't pretend to be. Good value with specials changing every day, and nice wines too at £14.50 a bottle. We spent £108 for 4 of us.Very well looked after by Kim, who tended the log fire, and treated us like long lost friends.We will be back!

Went here with a guest who was staying for a sunday roast. Really excellent dinner the meat was some of the best beef i have had cooked to perfection. The potatoes crispy home mad yorkshires and veg perfect. What more do you want?? And at just 8.95 very reasonable. A pub with a great local atmosphere and alot of character. Highly recommend. Excellent will be visiting again.

It is never easy catering for a group of 40 people but the Galton Arms certainly exceeded expectations. It is a lovely small country pub which appears to be managed by a very competent landlady who very quickly had everyone served with a drink despite us all arriving at the same time. Our meal was served in a room upstairs which was nicely laid out, we had four tables with ten people on each. Every one on the table had their food served at the same time, there were plenty of vegetables and all the food was very good, portions were also very generous. We certainly intend returning as a couple to try their bar menu.

Everything about the Galton was excellent today. Such a friendly landlady, excellent food and drink at good prices and lovely atmosphere. Old fashioned country pub :)

me and a mate visited this pub we both had the loaded burger it came with loads of chips and salid the bar staff was really friendly will be back soon

We went to the Galton Arms in Himbleton on a quiet weekday lunchtime. It is a nice country pub with friendly staff were friendly and prompt service. We had one Vegi dish and one meat and both were hot and tasty if not very inspiring. As it was very quiet and there was not much of an of an atmosphere and we should go back to try at at a weekend when I expect it is busier.
