The Mug House Inn & Angry Chef Restaurant in Wyre Forest

Popped in with a friend for lunch on a wet and dreary Saturday. Although busy we were quickly served.. generous portions, amazing onion rings! And all served by a lovely guy who was welcoming and friendly. Would def recommend

Lovely room, the MOST comfy bed, beautiful view of the river, delicious food, friendly staff - no notes! Loved every minute of our stay! Thank you so much. (Just to note, there is no free parking voucher at nearby car park or dedicated parking with the venue - just so future visitors know)

The Mughouse is located in a gorgeous place, overlooking the river. It’s a quirky, old building which was lovely to hang out in! We had a warm welcome and all the staff were friendly and keen to help. The room was clean and had everything you would expect. The furniture could be described as a little dated, but that didn’t really bother me. The friendly service was much more important to me! The breakfast was freshly cooked, and the selection was excellent! I had kippers with poached eggs - not often offered and beautifully cooked! We also had a gigantic teapot of glorious tea. Perfect!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Mug House Bewdley is an absolute gem! The cozy atmosphere makes you feel right at home, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. The food is nothing short of amazing—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a warm, welcoming vibe. Will definitely be back!

Julie and Vicky were stars, went above and beyond. Will definitely be coming back

I had been looking forward to eating at this place for sometime but I do have to say on the day that we visited we were slightly underwhelmed by the food. Where we were sat was absolutely freezing. It was nice and cozy the other side with a fire. It’s a great riverside location and having seen the hanging baskets in the summer looks amazing. I would definitely visit again but maybe not eat.

Food was excellent, nice old bar as well

Fantastic really good value and good quality food

Just happened to come across this delightful inn while staying overnight in Bewdley. So glad we found it. The staff were all lovely and friendly. The food was amazingly good. And my chocolate bread and butter pudding was divine. Thank you so much.

I went here for a family meal. I've given this place a 5/5 rating. This is despite them running out of beef and lamb that I wanted to order. Why? Because: 1. The location by the River Severn is ideal, and Bewdley is a beautiful place 2. Their customer service was excellent 3. The atmosphere was relaxed, friendly, and warm 4. Their food was beautifully presented and tasted great This place was recommended to me by a colleague. And I now see why. Them running out of certain orders on the menu is merely a symptom of their popularity.

Lovely food and lots of drinks to choose from.

Friendly staff, welcome your dogs, lovely open fire to warm up from a cold Autumn walk out along the River and Forrest. Definitely be popping in again.

visited with a friend a few weeks ago after having heard great things from local family. It was by far the worst meal I’ve ever had at a restaurant which my family were very surprised by, apparently it’s under new management. We both ordered the breaded chicken which was a deep fried and dry schnitzel type thing. It was so heavily deep fried the oil poured out with every bite and it was tough as old boots. The potatoes were raw, the onions were slimy, the broccoli was steamed or boiled to within an inch of its life. I would usually eat around a problem in a restaurant as I appreciate not all foods are for all people but neither of us could, nothing on the plate was remotely nice. We’re not fussy guys but it was really really rough. Told the waitress, she apologised and that was it. Nothing knocked off the bill. We must have eaten1/4 of our dinners between us. Such a shame cuz the place is pretty & had a nice vibe, won’t be eating there again.

Lovely restaurant on the riverside, staff are super lovely and the service was quick! not to mention the food was amazing! definitely recommend coming here if you’re in Bewdley

Service was great! Waitresses friendly and efficient. The food was very enjoyable, I ate the breaded chicken and my partner had the steak and have no complaints! Would definitely recommend if you are ever passing through Bewdley

Table booked for 7:30pm. Definitely the best place to eat in Bewdley. Lovely surroundings, lovely service and excellent food. Couldn’t ask for more.

Went here for lunch yesterday. Had lunch next to the river. Lovely food had roast pork. Malbec wine was decent too. Roast potatoes to die for as was the gravy, meat and vegetables. Will be back.

I first came to this restaurant 6 years ago and loved the food, ambience, location and service. I visit Bewdley every year, working in a nearby school, and the Mug House is always my first choice of venue for dinner. Having just enjoyed the hake and pesto pasta, by a roaring fire with a pint of Butty Bach, I can safely say I have never been disappointed 👌

Very good customer service. We enjoyed a lovely 3 course lunch for less than £15 each.

I was pleasantly surprised at the high quality food and service from lisa the seabass dinner was superb thankyou..spot on.

Visited on Sunday lunchtime for the Sunday roast. The pub has a nice location along the river and the service was good and friendly. Unfortunately the roast was disappointing. The lamb was tough, the skin on mash was cold and the Yorkshire pudding was dry. At £18 for the meal, I was expecting a lot better.

Just a little gem. Great atmosphere, great staff, great food!

Came here with the family, we were served by Beth. Who was very friendly and welcoming, we will come here again. Thank you for the service!!

Great friendly, helpful staff, and the accommodation was pretty damn good for the price, with a lovely view direct onto the river. There's long stay parking to the rear, about 200m away (disabled parking is free), and has a supermarket attached to the car park. We had our dinner here, and it was amazing, red pepper hash to start, it came with sweet chilli sauce and a side salad drizzled with balsamic. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but it was marvellous ! My wife had a "small" fish and chips, but it wasn't small at all, beautifully crisp and lightly battered. It was so "small" she couldn't eat it all and I had to help ;-p I had the rib eye steak, cooked to perfection, beautifully soft and tender, and absolutely packed with flavour. I closed off the meal with a good old fashioned knickerbocker glory, and that was amazing too. Edit: I had to come back to mention the breakfast in the morning - amazing, you'd be a fool to think you'd get better for the same price elsewhere ! Definitely worth your time visiting !

Had a quick drink here sat outside and took in the scenery. Lovely place nice polite young lady served us to our drinks .

The most beautiful location, the staff are just brilliant and never stop working plus so helpful, the food is beautiful, really not amazing meals here, great ales. Really brilliant place can't wait to go back there asap. Thank you all

A wonderful relaxing lunch, in a marvellous setting.

Not a great experience, sadly standards have dropped, spending 43 pound on lunch that what not up to the standard of wetherspoons is sad. We will not be returning. Something has gone wrong with the food standard.

Lovely atmosphere, really nice service. Had lovely meal with some fine local ales.

Lovely location for a night out with friends….however….I’m afraid to say that the occasion was marred by the disappointing quality of the food. I do not like to post negative reviews but in this instance it is justified ….we spent well over a hundred pounds for four main meals, four desserts and only 3 drinks. This would not be an issue except that it was certainly not value for money. One of us is vegetarian so opted for the veggie burger, it sat there within a plain cheap bun with a tiny bit of lettuce, slice of tomato and a handful of horrible chips. My partner said it was the worst burger he’d ever tasted, it resembled the cheap ones you get from a budget supermarket at best. The rest of us had pretty average food and the desserts were presented in a bland way which wasn’t expected at the price charged. It was a Saturday Bank holiday but come on guys the standard should not be affected, no-one came over to ask us about our food, even though we overheard someone telling the waitresses to do so. So I’m really sorry to post this but I feel strongly that we did not get value for money on this occasion. We did mention our feelings after paying and the gentleman apologized and said he would relay our comments to the chef. He said we should have mentioned it earlier but as no-one came over to check whether we were happy with the food this opportunity did not arise.

Staying in Bewdley , ate here several times. Despite being busy , staff happy to help , friendly and food very good. Competitive prices. Lovely place.

Beautiful location, booked last minute for Sunday dinner, the garden room at the back is gorgeous, such a clever use of space and very relaxing. The food was perfect, lamb, beef and chicken all wonderfully cooked and plenty for everyone, so nice to see lamb on a Sunday roast menu, loads of vegetables and the cauliflower cheese was creamy and delicious. Every member of staff was polite and welcoming, highly recommend and looking forward to going back to try out the freshly cooked pizzas when we can

Had an amazing roast dinner today here, absolutely delicious. Service is on point with friendly staff. And an amazing outside space to sit and I must say some good tunes flowing. Beautiful decor. And a massive pizza oven and rotisserie out the back. This place gives a lot and will definitely be coming for a third visit.

Cannot recommend the mug house highly enough!! The food is wonderful, and the staff are amazing. We were there for a week and it was truly fantastic. Plus, I had a silly nasty accident which required a trip to hospital. To say that Hossey and his team went above and beyond would be an understatement! We will be going again, and again! Thankyou to everyone at the Mug House xx

Excellent service and food. Also nice location right on the riverside. We ate in covered garden area, which is pleasingly a non smoking area. 🙂

Lucky to have on my doorstep…….❤️ Love sauntering down here with Sebastian (dog ) and sharing a bottle of wine on the riverfront 🦆☀️🍷❤️ All the staff especially the owner ‘Hosey’ are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble 5⭐️

Was looking for somewhere to pop into for lunch on the off chance, had a quick look at online menu which looked lovely. Just a very short walk along river from bridge/high street. Walked in late lunchtime, quite busy and was given a choice of tables. Ordered drinks, I chose coffee and they had a choice of dairy free milk, I was so happy! They had actually run out of soya, and I don’t like oat milk (think I’ve had so much of it I’ve the years) they very kindly popped out to get some. The menu choices were fabulous, if I’d been hungrier I would have chosen a pizza, they looked delicious! However we plumped for light lunch two courses. Really good! Pate was substantial, soup was tasty and fresh, the fish and chips were best I’ve had in a long time! So clean tasting, clearly change their oil on a regular basis! Staff were so lovely, friendly without being overly and genuinely wanted you to enjoy your time there. Looking about inside you could see why it was so popular! Highly recommend!!

Lovely Riverside eating place, inside or out. Very friendly staff.

Had a great meal on Saturday for wife's birthday.. Service was great as well..

The review is for the restaurant. We arrived two families with kids on Sunday 5.50pm. All people were eating with food just brought to the tables. We have been told kitchen now closed as it closing at 6pm, no exception even for baby food. but there is pizza! We agreed to remain and have pizza. They came again in 5 min telling us there is no pizza left as well. Here we go, nice inexistent service. A cheap fake apology to us and good evening! Hence the rating, hence not recommending to waste your time if you are in the area after a long day visiting the safari and tired with tte kids hungry, especially if you have not got an english accent and dare to ask twice for baby food.

We had a nice time here but there were a couple on things that were frustrating. Firstly that 2 of the things I personally ordered were not available - coffee (machine was broken) but also and mosr annoyingly the vegan burger, particularly as veggie options are limited. Also service was slow and one of our side dishes and one of our desserts were forgotten and then had to be chased.. One of our table ate their dessert after everyone else had long finished and there wasn't an apology for the delay.

Lovely pub by the river. Nice and welcoming service. We had delicious pizzas and the 4 of us enjoyed it very much.

Today we had a delicious vegan and gluten free Sunday roast lunch with lots of very tasty veggies. There is also the option for a vegan Yorkshire pudding that isn’t gluten free. The staff were very friendly and professional, highly recommended in a perfect location overlooking the river.

Don't no regarding rooms. Lovely decor Very spacious and excellent beer garden/restaurant. Good choice of food/alcohol/non alcohol Dog friendly Children menu

The food was just abridge and the service was horrid

Nice quiet Wednesday night. It was nice to have a hot chocolate instead of a cold drink. Shame it was lukewarm but it was lovely and chocolatey. Good friendly service. Always good to drink next to the beautiful River Severn.

Brilliant riverside location, friendly service

Just stopped at the mug house for a bite to eat and a drink but walked out again after waiting at the bar and being ignored by an incompetent waitress trying to pull a pint of bear. Won't be back again

Fabulous pub on the river side. Lovely food, attentive staff, friendly atmosphere.

An absolute gem. Staff were lovely, food presented beautifully and very tasty. The covered garden area at the back is a fabulous place to relax and enjoy your meal.

Fantastic food, great and attentive staff, great disco tunes. Highly recommend. Good variety on the menu and the specials were actually a bit special (unlike most pubs). Good selection of beers. All round a bit of a diamond.

Fabulous pub and restaurant in a perfect riverside location. Helpful staff (Ben) and great selection of food to suit all tastes.

This place serves really lovely food so tasty--the staff are young and a credit to the proprietor their courteous friendly and fast and this pub has a lovely setting right high above the river with wheelchair access to the pub and children and dog friendly so long as their kept on a lead 👍and some of the kids😂

Lovely place, dog friendly a big plus, just one little note’ the chips or fries whatever you call them aren’t up to scratch with the quality of the fish and peas, they looked like pre cooked and warmed up, very dry ,looking around we weren’t the only ones that left the basket half full.

Lovely food. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly professional staff. Lovely outside area serving pizza, steaks and burgers.

Made a reservation for Sunday lunch! Food was very bland. No seasoning. Not impressed with the quality either. Shame as it was a celebration meal!

Good atmosphere great location to ight on the riverside Well worth a visit if you are in the area

The best of food lovely friendly people will always welcome you

The five stars would've been for the food i can't fault it at all, the service however unfortunately seemed to be money orientated our table was next to a large table of 10 who seemed to order individually from the main menu, we got served really quickly with our starters and mains which was off the light bites menu and when asked about a pudding we said we would choose later this was accepted, after finishing our mains they collected our plates and gave us time for our dinner to go down, we all had decided on the same pudding (but they were busy as well which we understood) it took us 30 mins plus before we got 3 peoples attention (short of shouting) to ask about our desserts only to be told the pudding had run out 10 mins previous. Normally I wouldn't complain but on this occasion we were made feel like the poor relations. I would recommend this place for the food however don't order the light bites if you want full service!!!!

A delightful friendly restaurant in a superb location. Excellent food and presentation. So good we went twice on our short break.

Gr8 selection of local beers. Very relaxed atmosphere, dogfreindly

Fabulous lunch. Food always good. Service great and friendly.

Everything about this place is just fantastic! The setting of the rooms, the lakeside view plus the amazing food and staff would highly recommend and re visit in a heartbeat See you next time Thank you

Great pub on the river friendly service good selection of beers

UPDATE after 1st visit we didn't enjoy. Returned for a complimentary meal & was greeted by Ed the manager a really lovely guy. I opted for the large fish & chips, too big for me but managed to clear it as it was so good! My partner had the steak which was so tender & tasted amazing. Definitely going back.

Absolutely awful, loved popping in for a pint and a cob 😜 was really disappointed today 😭 outside area is now covered over with perspex so extremely hot, no option to see it in the garden as it was closed off and almost £10 for a pork baguette??? The pub is ruined

Fabulous fish sharing platter for 2 people, which included good size fish goujons, mussels in a wine sauce, prawn cocktail, calamari and mackerel pate. All served with warm baguettes and a delicious salad...😋 Waiting staff were lovely and all food was exceptional and very good value. Definitely worth a visit

Yards from the River Severn this pub is everything you can wish for. We first came to the Mug Inn one Sunday during winter with elderly relatives. Not having booked there were no tables. Seeing the disappointment on our faces the landlord came up with a creative solution and showed us to a room not being used upstairs. Service that time was timely and regular and the food was spot on. A return visit for a birthday didn't disappoint. Being a Sunday we headed for the roast dinners. Beautifully cooked the roast potatoes were spot on as was my chicken. I'm told the Timothy Taylor Landlord was well kept. Perfect. But book ahead for the food if you can. Expect about £15 a head for main courses. The building itself looks late 18th or early 19th century and I'll bet the wood fire gets plenty of customers in cold weather.

We stopped at the Mug House Inn for a drink and a bite to eat, while on a dog walk. The staff were very polite and friendly and helpful! The food was very nice and the beer was top notch! Thanks guys!

I have been an avid customer at the Mug house for the last three years. I live in Hampshire and every time I travel to Bewdley I visit the Mug house. This time I attended with my 6 month old Puppy and an older pup. The mug house was very accommodating for my pups. Even when all she wanted was cuddles! My server Sydney, immediately accommodated for my dogs by providing us with a slightly bigger table, which then meant that they were not getting under everyone’s feet! She even asked if they could have a treat! Which of course both of the pups loved. I then proceeded to ask for advice on the food. I must say, Sydney’s advice was spot on. The food she recommended was amazing and was delicious. The tomato and garlic soup was very delectable. I would recommend for when that is their special. I would go back again. Due to the accommodating atmosphere, and my lovely server

The Mug House is a great place to stay, the rooms are very clean and homely. The pub is awesome, real cozy with the fire going when cold. The food is wholesome and really good. The Timothy Taylor's Landlord is first rate, great ale. The staff are great when we stayed Sydney greeted us, she was friendly and welcoming.

Ordered off of the light bites menu as wasn’t too hungry, good value for money and the waitress Sydney was excellent! Very attentive.

Lovely evening and hospitality from Hossey and his team when I recently booked an event through them.

Amazing service and such friendly staff. Lisa was very attentive and friendly. She was extremely knowledgeable regarding the menu and also options available. Service was fast and with an infectious smile! Thanks again for making our evening so special. She also offered us a discount off our next visit. Which we will be taking advantage of! Thanks again 👏

Really good friendly pub in a beautiful town. Unfortunately we ordered too much for dinner and couldn't do it justice. Next time we are in Bewdley we will book a room here and try the menu again. Gets very busy so booking essential

We enjoyed the hospitality of this little pub during our stay in Bewdley, delighted to find plenty of vegetarian and vegan options on a great menu. I think most people will find this pub serves good, hearty food. Plenty for the traditionalist too. We were served by Victoria, who ensured we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Good for the price, popular little eatery.

I’ve been working away and regularly staying at The Mug House for the last few months. The rooms, food and service are always exceptional and the staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming; specifically Ed & Jo who always go that extra mile to provide the best service!

This is our 2nd visit with friends. It was a packed Wednesday night. I would strongly recommend booking as they were turning people away. We were shocked how busy it was for a Wednesday night. The atmosphere is just delightful, so bustling and lovely background 80s music playing. Really happy to see the same members of staff on who remembered us and our drinks from a previous visit. Joe has a very lively personality and clearly loves her job, along with I think Eddie?? a lovely chap, what a great combination. So many places you eat at the staff are miserable and really don't want to be there. This is certainly not the case with this duo, their connection is obvious and they clearly enjoy working together. The food was amazing. A bit of a wait for our main courses as you could see they were under pressure. I really recommend the fish menu, so expertly cooked and the risotto was perfect. They clearly have a very talented chef or chefs. We got talking to a neighbouring table who said they come weekly and not another place that consistently serves great food. Their steak and the liver looked fantastic. I cannot recommend this place enough, I have tried a couple of other local places but the food is simply not a patch on the Mughouse and therefore we wouldn't return to either. What a shame you can't bottle the magic of this place, alot of places could learn alot. This is hospitality at it's finest. A real find.

Great place for Sunday dinner. Easy to book online and staff were very friendly. We had a dog with us and they were very accommodating and made our day even more enjoyable

We all had a wonderful meal last night, served by Eddie and his helpful team. Their service was prompt, continual and thorough with a smile at all times. The food was delicious and beautifully cooked - would recommend the rump steak and pork loin. Excellently located right on the river for a meal after a refreshing walk along the riverside. Atmosphere in the Mug House is warm and welcoming, particularly with an open fire and surrounding tables and chairs. Dog friendly too. What more could you ask!

Just had a really good meal at The Mug House. Eddie and his staff were very attentive and made it a good experince. Good quality food cooked well.

Dined here with 2 friends, we all had excellent food, very tasty and well prepared fish dishes, extremely friendly service (from Charlie) - also very reasonably priced. Definitely would recommend

Loveley food,and friendly staff and great service

Only visited once but the food was really good, both from a quality and a value point of view. Also the beer was great. It was a really busy Friday lunchtime but the staff were fabulous in informing us that there may be a slightly longer wait, but it wasn't long at all and they were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. All the other food we saw looked amazing too, so we can't wait to go back.

Lovely dog friendly pub, with excellent food. we popped in for lunch, I had a chicken burger, that was so big I struggled to finish it, my partner had a hake risotto and was again impressed by the portion, both were very good, & we'd happily recommend the place to friends and family (& the internet).

Had bacon liver and onions unfortunately these were all cooked separately then added to the plate then gravy poured on. Making it a strange dish. I then had a cheese board which was served on a plate without a cheese knife so very difficult to eat. Staff seemed to be interested in seating new customers instead of serving the already seated. Bit disappointed to say the least. Ale kept exceptionally well.

Headline | gr8 food but not much choice Turned up without a reservation, but they were able to accommodate us in the covered outdoor area. It was quite cold despite having loads of gas heaters outside. None were turned on. They did warn us of a 40-minute wait for food, but we were starving 😫, so we ordered, we thought if we had starters, it would come quicker, but it did take 40 minutes. Food and drinks were good, it filled a hole, not sure it was memorable and the choice was limited. Staff were polite and friendly, we ordered alcoholic drinks for our teo boys 13 and 14 to have with a meal and bar maid wasn't happy, concerned about loosing there licence, so I had extra drinks and we got the boys a coke each no drama. Having done some reasurch the age is 16 with a meal. I can't rate the rooms ad we didn't stay

Great meal as a very reasonable cost, very attentive staff.

Mid week visit. We ate from the lite bites menu which was great value, & frankly more than adequate portion sizes. Because of my food alergy they made me a special pasta dish which was delicious. The staff were attentive & friendly. We will be back!

Went for a lovely relaxed Sunday lunch - staff were wonderfully friendly as always and quickly found us a table - the roasted sirloin special was absolutely perfect- beautifully medium rare - paired with the cauliflower cheese which was equally as delicious - vegetables were clearly very freshly cooked - simply beautiful

Excellent value lunch menu. Good quality food and drink. Local ales and good cooking with efficient, friendly service.

Lovely warm welcome by Lisa who recommended the southern fried chicken burger. Which was the best chicken burger I have ever had and huge! Would definitely recommend thanks

Food fantastic .l! I had a fish dish. Wines were top class. Service excellent with staff that go out of their way ! Location by the river.

Great meal, friendly service thanks

The food was amazing. The staff were brilliant. We had a wonderful evening 😊

We visited as a group of six on a Friday evening. The staff were very friendly and we felt welcome. We had quite a few requests and the staff were very helpful and accommodating and were able to help with advice with food intolerances. The food was delicious and great value. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely food, generous portions. Only dropped a star because of slow service, but they were very busy.

Nice pub and decent food. Great river location.
