Friendly staff good selection of drinks , unfortunately due to staff levels food wasn't available although snacks were offered. Lovely location next to river with plenty of benches, you will have to park up in the town or along the road out as the street has little or no parking.

We eat out every Sunday throughout Worcestershire and the Cotswolds.and this was by far the most superior roast we've ever had. Landlady Alison was just lovely, even lighting the log burner for us. Barman Thanusha is always smiling and friendly and can't do enough to ensure you have a good experience. Lastly, shout out for the Chef whose roast beef was perfect (nicely pink) and amazing gravy, cauliflower cheese and just incredible carrot and swede mash. This place is so good we ought not to be praising it in case we can't get a table next time!

Great location, particularly when the sun's out. Plenty of wooden benches overlooking the river. Can't help but think with a decent refurb it could be a great pub. Would need a lot spent on it though. It's tired looking. Felt the empties could have been collected up occasionally, too. Didn't try food but looked like standard pub grub. Beer was fine.

Good for ale, but the place lacks ambience and really has no atmosphere unlike some of the other pubs nearby. The outside seating area by the river is better to sit and have your drinks than inside especially if the weather is nice. It could be a nice place if the bigger room inside was cosier. It is a big space and just does not feel homely or cosy. Given the correct interior design it has the potential to look and feel so much better. The service from the staff is very good that is the one good thing about the place. Food is mediocre compared to its competitors nearby.

Could be such a special place . The only bar really that has river views . We visited the outdoor beer garden on three consecutive days and it was unacceptably dirty . Same tissues, beer mats , condiment packets all littered around the edges of the area . Cigarette ends everywhere .The whole floor area of the outdoor area was very dirty Clearly an easy job with a dustpan and brush but no attempt at cleaning . Heard lots of comments from people about the state of the outside area

I ordered 2 bacon sandwiches with a coffee and a cake. Shortly after a table of 10 came in and they also ordered bacon sandwiches. They proceeded to give the table of 10 all their sandwiches 2 at a time before serving us ours. Ontop of that I told them several times as they were doing this that we were waiting and ordered first. We were then given one sandwich at a time after a young chap gave our other sandwich to the wrong table, How difficult is it to serve up 2 together. Then the sandwich turned up greasy and they had not even bothered to slice it in half. Horrible food horrible service. Incompetent staff ridiculous service

The head chef even came & did own table check which was super cool. They had a lovely vegetarian Wellington. Beautiful setting with a garden right on the river Severn. Well worth a trip to the town.

This is probably the worst meal I’ve ever had! We ordered a burger and a quiche. The burger was in a bun that had mould on it and the pastry on the quiche was not cooked. The quiche actually resembled a pizza. So disappointing. Although we were given a refund when we pointed out the mould on the burger bun we would never go back there.

Just popped in cus I was visiting in laws in Upton and it was the jazz festival so thought it might be a good atmosphere but it was dead, I hate jazz but didn't actually hear any jazz being played so that was a bonus! The King's Head is in a nice spot right by the river with seating outside. Guinness was nice but served in a plastic glass I suppose because it was a festival and people drinking outside

We, two families arrived here for their Sunday lunch. They were accommodating to provide a meal not the menu. When the food started to arrived it was very staggered and we had to request our missing vegetables which is one of the shared platter type. The second family then also had to request theirs when it didn’t arrive but after 10 minutes had to go inside to request again. Once the request was made they must have thought he had left as they started to call him a liar. Very unprofessional, as though we would be after extra vegetables. Left a bitter taste in our mouths and wouldn’t return

Went for Sunday lunch and one of us was served a very ropey piece of meat. Mentioned this to the chap who brought our plates out who giggled nervously, went back into the kitchen and we never saw him again. Showed it to someone else who agreed that dish should never have left the kitchen but that was the last of the meat so there was no option to change it. We appeared to be the only customers in the whole place for the hour we were there even though it was Sunday lunchtime.

Came for breakfast during mello, terrible rude service. Breakfast was awful bunrt bacon and cold toast. They took a long time to bring toast out it was freezing cold, tea was. Very watery and coffee took a terrible long time to come out. Lady behind the bar was very rude and disrespectful to thd point she touched the toast with her dirty hands she had put on the table. No spoon was given fof the coffee as she walked off and dropped it didn't bring another over. Really terrible experience and rude staff. Very unhappy with the money wasted here. I understand they are busy but id rather wait longer so so rude

Visited today on the way home from Tewkesbury and it happened to be the village folk festival. Despite it being very busy, the staff were extremely accommodating in managing to get a table set up for us. They are very dog friendly and our pup loved having a fuss from the staff. My son was also very happy having new people make a fuss of him too. The food was excellent and we cannot recommend the cheeseburger or the venison sausages enough! The cheeseburger in particular was thoroughly enjoyed. The prices are excellent value - £9 for a freshly made, very good quality cheeseburger, chips and salad, and equally priced venison, mash and gravy, and (freshly cooked honey roast) ham egg and chips. We would 100% recommend and we will be returning in the future.

We visited today for Sunday lunch. The pub is under new management and everyone was very friendly and keen to please. The roast beef was cooked pink, just how we like it. All the vegetables were cooked just right and were delicious. Although this was a generous helping and we were quite full, I managed to squeeze in a delicious apple crumble and custard. The crumble was tasty and crunchy and there was plenty of apple. As the weather was cool for the time of year, there was a welcoming fire in the pub. For a warmer day, there is a large sun terrace overlooking the river.

Went here with a few friends for our Christmas meet up. The place is lovely and cosy, great feel to it. However, the service is really lacking. We arrived, were seated at our table and given menus… THIRTY minutes later they still hadn’t come to take a drinks order. THIRTY. We had to go and find someone in the end. It was another 15 before they took the food order. It was like we were sitting in the invisible corner. It wasn’t that busy, plenty of staff milling about! The food was decent when we finally had it, but dreary me, the service was dire. It’s not cheap and they really should do better - I won’t be rushing back
