The Nag's Head in Malvern Hills

The perfect British pub. Incredible beer selection, delicious food, friendly welcome and great views.

A very popular pub, great food, fast service . Highly recommend

Fantastic, very friendly staff who allowed us to try a few of their ales before buying. Had the pork belly for dinner, absolutely lovely! Wish this was our local!

One of Malverns better boozers. Great selection of beers. Very good atmosphere. Eclectic decor and good mix of characters. Excellent traditional pub. No pool. No one arm bandits. And the better for it.

Outstanding pub for all walks of people.

Excellent food and service, couldn't have asked for anything better. Staff were so wonderful.

Had a lovely meal and lunch experience with friends. It was great.

A great visit very welcoming staff nice food will be returning .

Have to say this place is amazing myself and hundreds of other event rental owners recently attended a trade show at 3 counties show ground and I organised an after show drinks and dinner at this venue, after contacting Charlie 10 days before he sent all of the food options where we booked a table for 10 during the next few days the numbers increased to 20 with constant calls to up the table size and more food choices added as we went , they even did 2 specials for a couple of children who was quite fussy eaters which was not a problem for them and even added another 3 guests to the booking 4 hrs before we was due to arrive, our table of 23 was all set , drinks constantly being served and food arrived in perfect timing no delays which can happen with such a large booking I cannot thank the staff enough you made the whole experience perfect and we be returning in October when the next trade show is thank you Charlie and all the staff at the nags head we will see you again soon

All good, enjoyable visit in lovely setting.

We ordered 2 roast beef dinners. The vegetables came on 1 side plate. (They only brought one veg out, but asked if we wanted another! It wouldn't have been so bad if the side plate was for 2 people, but it was designed for 1, so yes please @£16 each,bring the other veg out! Some people may feel pressured to say it's ok.) anyway. The meat was cooked nice, but tasted better. The roasties and Yorkie were a little hard. The veg a little uninspiring. Overall, a regular roast, nothing outstanding.

Good food, not exceptional. Very friendly service. Dog friendly too, which makes all the difference.

After a walk up the hill with my 6year old we decided to grab a Sunday roast on the way home. I am not a bit fussy about roasts as I love the way my roasts turn out and I find eating pubs roasts disappointing. So, that said, this roast was delicious! Yummy and fresh everything. Prompt service and all the extras. Only critique is the crackling could have been a little better but the rest was Fab for a really good price. We are outside in the March sunshine.

Not posh, but good. Beer, well kept, lunch time sandwiches, excellent. Staff friendly,. Recommended.

Great monkfish n chips. Super quick service.

Nice place for a bite and a drink

Food was spot on. Decent pint too. Staff very friendly and also had a resident Robin come visit us at our outside table. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Nags Head is amazing. It's pretty much the dream pub. Amazing beer & cider. Great atmosphere every time. Warm, cosy. Never eaten so can't comment on food. As others say here would be the perfect local. As an expat Northener - they unusually serve a number of northern & Scottish beers. Kept to perfection. We all need to support places that serve amazing beers. Use it or lose it.

Perfect for a pint, Sunday roast, open fire and good company. Well priced and hospitable.

WOW! This is some place. We were staying in a cottage nearby and the Nags Head was recommended, and we could see why. It is deceiving from the outside, when you get inside there is a nice large separate restaurant, as well as a cosy bar and outside area. All were busy on a Saturday night, and you need to book. The menu is wide but mainly typical pub fayre, the staff were all very friendly and there is a nice atmosphere. I had sausages and mash, and my wife had one of the specials. Both were generous and high quality, and really good. There is a huge selection of beers and wines, and something for everyone. We'd love to try the Sunday Lunch next time we're in Malvern.

A wonderful selection of draught beers welcomes the imbibers. The staff are always very keen to serve drinkers and are always friendly. I haven't sampled the food so I can't comment on that but the atmosphere is always friendly 😁.

I felt rushed even though we had pre ordered our food.

Simple and good pub grab 👌 lovely atmosphere.

People were queuing to get in,loads of staff on hand to serve customers, great old pub with fire's, wonderful food and service.

Lovely, friendly well run pub. Had Sunday lunch there today with friends and it was really tasty food and excellent service at a fair price.

Better than average pub restaurant with a good selection of beers. Good friendly service. I would recommend this place to anyone. Some of the people in the bar swearing excessively which is why I didn't give it 5 stars.

One of the best drinkers’ pubs in Malvern with a decent selection of draught beer and cider. The food’s been a bit of a let down for years though and recent experience shows it hasn’t changed unfortunately. Had fish and chips which was Ok and £17.50. The cheeseboard was a disgrace - two types of cheese, possibly Brie and cheddar - hard to tell as they tasted of nothing. There’s a separate restaurant, but I’m not really tempted to give that another go after this experience unfortunately. It’s a great place for a drink, but I’d eat elsewhere.

Almost drove past this pub as it isn't obvious from the side it is there. Good size outdoor seating area and you enter to a well stocked bar. A wide range of beer on tap and a warm welcome from the staff. Food was lovely, other than the chips which were really dry. Given the pub was very busy, and full to capacity, service times were good.

For a very tired couple after a long day of travelling, the Nags head was a perfect location for our evening meal. the food was spot on, and the room was just quirky enough to be really interesting.

I wish The Nags head pub was my local!! The Nags Head is everything you want in a great, well, actually perfect pub. We had just come down from walking to the beacon (highly recommend doing that as well) and wanted to find somewhere for us to have a belly warming Sunday lunch for the three of us and Buster the dog. We stumbled on The Nags Head via a Google search and thank goodness for Google!! The welcome was so warm and friendly in what was an already busy pub, in fact packed pub. We found a table and collected a menu on the way. Open fires and a great atmosphere made us feel very welcome. We ordered our food at the bar and drinks at the same time. A Turkey roast, beef roast, and a veggy mushroom and cranberry roast for me. Drinks were delivered nice and quickly, Sarah said her coffee was the best in a pub for a long time. Our food took no time at all to arrive and by george it looked so good. Hot plates, great Yorkshire and the spuds, oh my. The bowl of steaming veggies topped it all off. My veggie roast was honestly so tasty, and the girls said their meat roasts were the best ever. We cleaned our plates. I have to say, I can not find anything negative to say about our experience or lunch at The Nags Head. I have worked in the hospitality industry all of my working life, and to stumble on somewhere this good is rare. I really do wish I lived closer. We will be back. I have been telly everyone how good this pub is. Well done, and I really mean it. Well done.

Nine of us ate Sunday Toast before going to the Theatre, great food, great value, great service and we all had a great time. Highly recommend

Went there on someone else's choice not a fan of the place tbf

Best steak & ale pie I’ve ever had! Well done team Nags Head.

We were a party of 8 (incl. 3 children and a dog). Pre- ordered given time of year (December), but food was lovely and hot. Had a section to ourselves which was great (in the conservatory). Staff were super friendly and helpful throughout. Great craft beer selection too. Good location close to park for the kids after. Still came back for hot drinks with ample room and seating outside.

The ham, egg and chips is exceptional. It’s on the lunch menu. I wish it was also on the evening menu. Lovely atmosphere and decor

Never had a bad pint. Worst thing is the time it takes to decide what to drink!

Lovely cosy old pub with big newer dining room. Great Sunday menu with a lot of veggie options. Massive portions were much appreciated after a hike on the hills!

Great Sunday lunch. Very dog friendly.

Lovely place to drink plenty fires etc , does get very busy. Atmosphere lovely, we also ate here amd lovely food aswell very reasonable prices.

Had a fabulous meal at the Nag’s head. Great quality food, varied menu with a fab specials board, nice staff and good atmosphere. Can’t wait to go again!

Great range of food at reasonable prices. Catered for my allergies without an issue.

Excellent Sunday Lunch backed up with friendly staff and chilled, cosy atmosphere. Found this gem on Google after meeting friends for a dog walk on Malvern Hill. Luckily we booked a table as it was busy inside and outside from beginning to end. It’s a very dog friendly pub but equally if the 4 legged fur ball isn’t your thing, it’s also good for a family gathering or date night! We all tucked into the roast, my only criticism was I like my beef rare and it was more like medium well but we were at the 3:00 sitting so the juicy bits already eaten. We shared a lemon basil tiramisu which was phenomenal and generous portion! We will definitely return when our calves allow us to move again!

Stopped off in Malvern to charge the car and found this pub just down the road. Ordered come drinks (great local Robinsons cider) and would have liked food but they'd just stopped serving lunch so I had so walk to Waitrose down the road and sneak sandwiches in to eat! Lovely pub but needs to serve food a bit longer!!

Delicious lunch. We arrived after 3pm last Sunday hoping for a roast but they’d just sold out. This was the next best thing. Great pub.

Lovely traditional atmosphere with nooks and crannies and log fires for when it’s cold. We hoped for a Sunday roast today but arriving at 1500 they had sold out so we chose ham, egg and chips instead which was still excellent. Popular, unpretentious, plenty of staff to welcome you. Great beer and cider.

Absolutely amazing selection of real ales, we were there on a Sunday evening and it was packed.

Lovely old pub, will go again soon.

We visited yesterday with no booking, and unsurprisingly were unable to book a table. However, the staff went out of their way to contact us later on in the evening so we would ensure our booking for today! Incredibly happy with the food, atmosphere and service. Everyone was extremely friendly and the food was delicious and came to us quickly. We will be visiting here again!

Cracking staff last night, working very hard

Very good service , food is amazing and cooked fresh and served very promptly. Pre booking is advised is you want a table , we booked table for 8 no problem. Good selection of real ales , some craft keg , look out for the sharing bottles on the paper menu some gems on there !

Brilliant service, good food, excellent beer selection, easy to see why it’s so popular.

Really nice and big pub. Very friendly staff! We ordered vegan burgers and they arrived 10 minutes after we sat down! Couldn't even take a pic before we started eating 😂😂. We'll definitely visit again when we're back in Malvern

Visiting the area and this pub was closest to our accommodation. Very busy early on Friday evening which made for a lovely and bustlely atmosphere. If busy, you do need to have reserved a table for food. Really good selection of real ales to choose from and drinks were reasonably priced. Bar staff were attentive and ensured no-one waited to be served for very long at all. I've booked in for Sunday lunch already.

We held my mother-in-law's funeral reception in the function room at the Nag's Head and it worked really well. The staff were excellent making all the arrangements beforehand and nothing was too much trouble. The buffet was delicious and the beer is always very good. The sad occasion became a happy celebration of a wonderful person.The Nag's Head is a superb venue.

Atmosphere is 10/10, wouldn’t say the service is great, sometimes they’re a bit grumpy and hesitant to exchange pints that aren’t right?

Ate here on a Saturday evening a few weeks ago with a friend visiting from China who is about as fussy about anything and everything as it is possible to get. She was blown away by the food, service and ambience. During her three weeks in the UK we ate at some very nice and expensive restaurants around the UK, including in London, and this was the only meal she described as being gourmet, and the absolute best she had whilst here. We both had the seabass, which was cooked to perfection, and neither of us could believe how some simple potatoes and tenderstem broccoli could be so tasty and delicious. A very simple meal, but presented like something from a TV cookery competition by the friendliest of staff. I would go so far as to say this was the best meal out I have ever had ..... amazing. I normally only ever drink beer at the Nags, which is always good with plenty of choice, and a vibrant atmosphere, but this will now be my go to place for a meal out in Malvern .... excellent in every possible way.

Popped in for a Sunday roast, portion sizes were decent and meal was pretty good

Hard to find - but worth it. Friendly service, fair prices and sufficient portions at fair prices. Recommended.

A great place to eat & drink. Brilliant atmosphere and excellent food.

I have been visiting this place since I was a teenager, firstly playing at the Phoenix Club and latterly having moved back to Malvern popping in occasionally to meet up with old friends. The Nags is always popular, with many well kept lager,cider and ales on offer. Dog friendly and very welcoming

Lovely relaxed atmosphere and good value

We had a very wonderful lunch at this lovely pub hidden away from the hustle and bustle in Malvern. The trio of sausages and mash was on the specials board and very special indeed - the sausages were of the very best quality and the portion was very generous. The local ale, This, was very welcome on a sunny day also. I would’ve loved to stay for longer - a fantastic find!

Went with my large family, the pub was incredibly accommodating with a vibrant atmosphere, and the service was outstanding. Will hopefully be returning again!

Fantastic pub, great atmosphere

Delighted to have The Nag's as our new local. We'd had recommendations from others, and visited for the first time last week. It's an excellent pub, with a good range of beers, nice seating areas and a friendly atmosphere. Will be back very soon!

Wow! We stopped off for lunch, and we'll certainly be returning! Food was delicious and for a lunch completely overwhelming. The pub itself was like a museum, we walked around starstruck on the pictures and structure. I think over the years they'll be a few stories. 💯 recommended to visit and eat!

Always great to have a Friday lunch drink and bite to eat 😋

Ask for the beer menu. Superb collection of cask, keg and international bottles

Brilliant food. Fantastic ale. Lovely atmosphere. What more could you want for a Sunday afternoon!

Great Sunday roast and traditional British fare. If the weather is good the back garden is very pleasant and peaceful. Dog friendly as well

Food is very good and served very fast. Dog friendly which could be a good or bad thing.

Roast beef Sunday!!! I loved the place, the food, the atmosphere and the attention of the staff. Thank you so much.

Great selection of inexpensive, interesting beer and larger. The slow cooked beef and ale pie was superb as were the potatoes, vegetables and copious lashings of gravy accompanying it. Top notch service. The staff were courteous, polite and very helpful. The atmosphere was positively eclectic with people from all walks of life enjoying its enchantment. Lots of seating inside and out. A meal and a pint will give you change from £20. I had a few pints 🤪 hence the £20 - £30 rating to follow.

Amazingly busy pub serving wonderful food by delightful staff. 10/10

What a wonderful place! Whether in a huge family or on a date. The food is incredible, and the staff are all so friendly and helpful. Will be back!

Lovely for Sunday lunch, food was fab! Dogs very welcome. When we went, there was a dog under every table being very well behaved. Service very friendly and efficient. Thank you

Great little gem of a pub. Dog friendly & good selection of drinks. Food looks great, but hadn't pre booked so sadly unable to eat there on this trip. We'll be back!

'No drunkenness, no singing and no swearing' are amongst the many house rules of this pub. 'League of Gentlemen' vibes. Soulless, unfriendly and dated. The doorman was clearly bullied at school and has bumped his head one too many times. You will be thrown out for saying the word sh1t, once. Which is a shame because it's actually the best word to describe this "pub". There are many excellent pubs in Malvern. This isn't one of them.

Excellent CamRA award-winning pub with a great selection of real ales. Very friendly atmosphere and log fires in winter. It could do with a lick of paint here and there, and some of the furniture is not the most comfortable. It's the best drinking pub in Malvern by far, and very good for food too in the Nag's Tail restaurant. There's a quiet garden at the back, and a very nice popular outdoor area at the front.

One of the last proper pubs. No gastro nonsense, it’s not a restaurant. Just a really good, proper pub!!

Five of us came here after a walk. As a vegan I had a great meal, enjoying Old Mout cider, the vegan chilli con carne meal, and lemon and mango sorbets. My family enjoyed a range of meals and amongst them they decided the pie was particularly impressive, though all enjoyed their meals and the portion sizes seemed just perfect. The staff were very helpful and friendly and attentive. The toilets were decent. The restaurant area was separate to the bar which made the atmosphere for our meal a lot calmer but it was good to see how popular the bar was!

Excellent ales... Some of the best in the Midlands. So 5 stars for beer. But my reason for the low rating is their ridiculous dining restrictions. I went in the pub at 6.30pm on a Saturday night after a hard day on the hills. There were abundant tables free. But incredibly, they said you cannot eat at any table outside of the dining room... An area which I never saw or frequented. I then asked if we could have a table in the 'dining area' (wherever that was) but was told sorry we are fully booked tonight. This is at 6.30pm! So after a swift couple of pints we left. The barman kindly suggested that if we wanted to eat, there was a Chinese takeaway nearby... Yes, exactly what we wanted after travelling from Birmingham for the day. So in conclusion, this is a great pub that pretends to be a restaurant and falls woefully short. Make up your minds and start serving food at the tables!

Came for dinner , outstanding the person that owns this place must be super proud of his staff Extremely helpful and polite 5 star service Food was exceptional So was the beer Thank you for a wonderful experience

Lovely pub to sit in while the sun I'd beaming. Good prices for the drinks and great service. The food is also very good and the restaurant lovely. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic pub with the best staff we have had the pleasure of dealing with for a while ( all of them). The food was delicious and plentiful. Super service from Gracie who went above and beyond to make sure everything was 100%. . Well done everyone.

Friendly local serving good food with a list of beers as long as your arm!

Shocking food, service and atmosphere. The pub is over run by local Malvern drunks. The food was slow to come, cold and mediocre. Serving staff rude and uninterested

Very nice food and good menu choices. I had Blanche bait and tartare sauce the the steak and ale pie. Massively beefy (solid) with a nice short pasty. Good service and fast service without being hurried.

We have just been to you for our evening meal, great atmosphere and service. Lovely food 😋

A large number of drinks to choose from. Great atmosphere

Nice homely pub, good choice of ales and ciders. Very tasty, well cooked and well portioned Sunday dinner. Lovely homemade roasts and Yorkshire's!

Best Roast I've had out in a very long time... quality meat, ROASTED potatoes and lots if fresh veg! Enjoyed with friends in an unhurried atmosphere... puds were delicious too. Only negative was the tea... tasteless but I'm a tea fanatic to be fair!

Lovely pub between Great Malvern and Malvern Link. Food is amazing with hefty portion sizes. The sandwiches are brilliant value with salad and home made chips. My Egg and Chive was wonderful. Super quick service for a bank holiday too. Someone next to me had fish and chips and that was huge!!!

Nice place to stop in for a pint, lovelynbeer gardens to

Went as part of a walking group. Amazing breakfast, the sausage was especially nice. Fantastic range of real ale, great service and hospitality all round. Will certainly be returning soon 5*

Proper pub with amazing beers and food.

Cosy inside, decor a bit tired, plenty of outside seating under cover. Did not eat do xant comment.

Wow, I can't recommend this pub highly enough! We visited the pub on a very, very busy Friday night as a large group of 19. We had pre booked our tables and our food, but we're arriving and eating at different times. They were so helpful in serving us at different times. All the food was absolutely delicious and really good portion sizes! There was loads of choice on the menu, and prices were very competitive. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be back.

Very busy pub with hot staff....bonus

A lovely old pub. Staff really friendly. A great atmosphere. Good choice of food. Which was very good and tasty. Would definitely recommend a visit.
