Absolutely fantastic relaxed pub. They catered for our sons Baptism and we all had a lovely time. Everyone was super helpful and friendly and the kids loved the play area and the goats! The food was amazing! Highly recommend!

Food was unexpectedly fantastic, more than just your average pub food, and good value, there are budget options and burgers to, so something for all tastes. Service was pleasant and attentive without being too much. Beautiful grounds and views and a massive play area for the kids. We particularly enjoyed visiting the farm animals on site while we finishing off our drinks. Pigs and goats both very friendly and had a fuss, obviously very happy and well looked after. Will be our new favourite on days with the grandchildren as well as couples lunches with friends.

Make sure you are hungry so that you can do the carvery justice. A choice of meats, generous portions. A wide range of fresh vegetables prepared in different ways. Very friendly staff, would recommend and will certainly be going back. Delicious dessert choices which we asked to have as a takeaway as we were so full! Happily this wasn't a problem and I have biscoff cheesecake to look forward to 😁

We've been here a few times since moving to the area. The kids have a great time, there's loads for them to do, play area, bouncy castles, football or watching the animals. The food is good food, friendly atmosphere and so the adults can relax too.

Place is tired and a bit grubby. Food seemed to take ages. I ordered duo of lamb a small lamb cutlet with shepherds pie & dauphinois potatoes. When I finally cut into the lamb cutlet, it was completely raw inside. The shepherds pie was like sawdust. I complained about raw chop so he took it away. Hubby had slow cooked beef with horseradish mash and the other two had fish and chips. The fish was ok, chips were soggy and the meal want hot. Hubbys beef was good, but mash was bone dry and meal wasn’t very hot. Mine came back, chop cooked ok but I think my plate of food had been sitting there waiting as it was all cold. We each ordered a pudding, when they arrived, the big black bowls they came in had massive chips out of them. The meringue, tasted like it had been frozen and defrosted as the lemon had separated. When we commented on the dishes, suggesting they were thrown away and should never have been used. The man said he hadn’t noticed. Great big white chunks were very noticeable on black dishes! Whether we hot it on a bad day, I don’t know. The place was empty bar a couple of other people in the bar. Will not be going back again

First visit today for the cavery. Nice touch to be shown your table and then drinks order taken and brought to the table. 2 options for size, regular or large. Cavery meat very tasty and a multitude of hot fresh veg to choose from, plentifull amount of gravy available. Nice again, that invited to get your meal 1 table at a time. My only comment and my personal opinion, the roast parsnips could have been softer. Overall, very good, excellent value for money

So disappointing The pub was cold and uninviting Needs a major overall - aged and tired We ordered off the light bite menu and the meals was a decent size and presented well, however, not sure what was going on with the chips, they was very dark brown but not burnt but not crispy Feel they had been fried yesterday and then microwaved today and tasted like boiled potatoes - that wasn’t a nice experience Would I visit again - don’t think so!

Today I visited The Old Waggon & Horses in Kidderminster. The employees there were exceptionally courteous and delivered remarkably quick service. The carvery was very tasty, with an assortment of meats to select from, featuring turkey and beef gammon, coinciding perfectly cooked vegetables. The fireplace provided a pleasant and welcoming ambiance making it the ideal place to unwind over a dinner. Furthermore, not only were the employees courteous, but they were also attentive and focused to make me feel like a valued visitor, everyone went above and beyond. I highly recommend !

The pub is dirty and worn out. Desperately needs renovating and a deep clean. We had a carvery. Awful, truly awful. Pastry on the pie was black on top and raw at the bottom, roast potato's like greasy boiled potatoes, veg so raw it was inedible, yorkshire puds like pancakes. Family of 6 visit would have cost £80 odd but was reduced to around £60 as we complained. Still feel ripped off as we ate none of the food. Would have had 1 star but the staff were friendly.

This is a place that I have driven past thousands of times and I have never thought about going in. However, me and the family had to pinch ourselves over our experience and the Price. For starters- Broccoli and Stilton soup with white bread and you could have cheese toasted if you wanted (cheese lovers). - Salmon and Lobster fish cakes, for those who are adventurous, nice little kick to them. - Pork Belly- Wow! Not just joints of pork with 80% fat more like 70% meat 30% fat they were incredible. All plated like we were on master chief. Mains - Duo of Lamb, for lamb lovers like myself it’s not very often you go out have lamb and feel you got your moneys worth. Here you do!!!! - Tandoori chicken burgers, me and my brother both had these and was so nice you just wanted another, perfect size not stupid and dripping down your fingers. Not once did I have to ask for extra napkins and feel I had the cooking oil in my hands. Sides- Mac and Cheese- now I love pasta and macaroni, but I always felt that it can be so heavy it could ruin the meal. Not this mac and cheese, the lightest ever with the stringy cheese. Just amazing. Cheese garlic bread- not your typical bookers frozen stuff, plenty of cheese and gold orange tone, like how mom would make cheese on toast as a kid. - Dirty fries- what a portion a meal in itself. Spring onions, cheese in curry sauce. Pudding- Sticky toffee pudding- light, warm, and delicious, with custard. Staff- Friendly, welcoming and easy to talk to. Love the idea that it’s an independent business and clearly shows it with the heart and passion in the food and service. Overall The bill came to £99.95- that’s mad considering everything is homemade. Please visit if you get the chance, you won’t be disappointed

I was shocked after choosing this pub based on trip advisor reviews. The pictures of the place looked lovely, made it look like a nice country pub. I booked a table on a Sunday for me and my partner, we took our dog too. Upon entering the place it didn’t look too bad, but we got directed to a table in the bar area due to having our dog with us. There were loads of things that we really didn’t like about the place and to be honest because of that even the small things started to irritate me. It was filthy, the floor looked like it handed been cleaned in a long time, the curtains looked dirty, the sofa looked like it had been in the same place for 30 years. The table was wonky, struggled to stay upright with a couple of beer mats underneath it, the couple at the table next to us may have well joined us as it felt like we were all eating together we were so close. After all that I went to get food which I really wasn’t sure about given the state of the place. We went to get served and noticed most of the food swimming in oil or butter. The dauphinois pototoes were the worst of the lot, struggled to see the potties through the oil. I am a big foodie and particularly a roast but given the dirty look and feel of the place it did instantly put me off my food. I did eat some of it, but unusually for me I left quite a bit and nearly a full pint, which I would really never normally do. From entering to leaving we must have been in the pub for 30 minutes, not really how I would expect a nice planned Sunday lunch to go. I would really suggest if you are expecting a nice country pub with that lovely cosy look and feel don’t be fooled by the pictures. The food wasn’t the best but I think the cleanliness just put me off it. I would suggest avoiding.

I really don’t know where to start. On arrival we were seated and drinks orders taken straight away ! Lookin good That’s where it ends. Took half hr for food order to be taken. Then another 40 mins for food to arrive and wasn’t busy !! Staff walking round like headless chickens. Had to go to bar to order another drink as the wait was so long for food and payed cash , again had to go up to bar to pay bill and tried to add the drink that I had payed for cash on the bill. Absolute shambles of a place. The steak and ale pie was just meat in pastry. Very dry. Home made chips were clearly warmed up. Never again. Over priced amateur set up. Really ain’t sure how they are still trading

Decided to try here for food on Saturday night as we had been out all day to an event and were rather hungry. We arrived about 8pm to a rather rowdy dining area and lots of small children, crying, screaming, shouting and running around the restaurant like it was a play area. We were very disappointed at the limited menu on offer but as we were cold and hungry decided to not go elsewhere and make do with something from the menu. Unfortunately the food was not good, fish and chips with mushy peas were chosen that was very over cooked including the peas, I ordered the pumpkin burger which apparently had never been made before and was a first for the chef, it was absolutely horrible, just a mushy greasy orange mess with a funny tasting sauce drizzled over it, I’ve never tasted anything like it in all my years as a vegetarian. I also think it completely unacceptable that a person with a long beard cooking the food was not wearing a covering as all food handlers are required to wear effective hair restraints that cover all exposed hair, this person was also grabbing fries out of a big bowl and serving them onto plates with his bare hands, and why I was not at all surprised to find a hair on my plate. It wasn’t particularly clean in the restaurant, the tables needed a good clean with hot soapy water as they were very sticky. Unfortunately, this dining experience was not for us and we shall not be returning. Also, not much choice for vegetarians other than a pumpkin burger.

Please take as constructive feedback: we have visited this place as a family quite a few times over the years and whilst the drinks are good with HPA on draught the food service always seems to be on the poor side.Went here recently as the kids can play on the park which has been improved somewhat since our last visit with more things to play on.One thing that still hasn’t been addressed is how uneven the grass seating area is and area surrounding the playground.. so much so we have on a couple of occasions twisted our ankles or seen people nearly fall completely over. The benches don’t sit level either. Pretty unsafe in parts with out nitpicking.After having a few drinks we ordered food...and waited an hour and a half for it to arrive...but it still didn’t...with our kids crying as they were hungry we kept buying crisps and chasing up with our waiter who was really polite but was let down by the till system and the kitchen and manager.After patience wearing thin and having enough we asked for a free round of drinks...as the wait time had been crazy. Waiter asked the manager and came back and said no. Asked to see the manager who said she couldn’t do that as everyone was experiencing the same issue. I replied well that’s not our fault or their fault it’s yours...and why are you still taking orders if there’s a massive wait on our food still? She still wouldn’t listen nor answer the question so we asked for a refund on the meal and left. Not great management skills...although she was polite and has been in the past too.Madness really as if we had been given complimentary round of drinks and the food had arrived within that time we would have stayed there for hours drinking as friends were joining us later. We went elsewhere and spent all afternoon and into the evening there.This place could genuinely be a gold mine with a few tweaks here and there. Great passing trade and playground area that could be really awesome. The food service needs looking into here. There were about three tables by us that had exactly the same problem with upset and hungry kids. We saw a couple of tables leave before we did. They were also waiting for drinks for ages. The staff would be better off taking the order and charging the customer at the same time rather than having to visit the table three or four times to take order,bring drinks,bring bill but if it’s cash they have to leave and return again to give change. This ties them up!We will return as it could be so good. Hopefully some food for thought.

I called in one Sunday afternoon for a pint and the women behind the bar refused to wash her hands after eating food right after I had asked her too, another girl served me my pint and I was happy with that, I continued outside for my relaxing afternoon drink the garden was busy with people enjoying the sunshine, I noticed the chef outside the back door having a crafty fag playing on his phone in his chef whites, I fancied an ice cream but when I went to get one from the outside bar there was no staff to serve me, I had to use the toilet so went into the front door as signed and went to the toilet but when I went there was no toilet roll to use as it was all over the floor covered in pee, the toilets were covered in poo stains, no hand soap to be used, and sanitary towels on the floor, I just had to leave, there were more signs stating which way I had to leave which was through the restaurant side, the place looked grubby and could do with a lick of paint and a good clean, the dead flys on the window sills said it all, I will not be returning

Limited staffing clearly has meant a reduced service but the priority for staff being safe was evident with the PPE.The play area is huge and come summer i will be bring my family here to enjoy the sun and massive play area.

Having driven past many times, one day we decided to go in for some lunch. From my understanding, the guidelines for eateries do not encourage anyone to stand at the bar and instead table service is promoted. However, upon entering the woman behind the bar asked what could she get for us and we said we'd like to eat, to which she just said "through there", I had to ask where menus were and what happens about ordering. She said to come back to the bar to order which we thought was strange, very unhelpful staff, they just didn't seem interested. The menu itself consisted of some kind of street food list, a 2 or 3 course and a kitchen menu, three very different and confusing menus. The table was very sticky and felt dirty. We immediately left and ate elsewhere. Will not be returning.

Booked this place for a BH meal with friends, driven past is a thousand times but took the plunge. We recently returned from a holiday on the south coast where eating out was a pleasure due to a sensible approach to Covid. Not this place. Little or no social distancing, customers standing right up to the shield-less bar, no staff wearing face masks or shields even behind the bar. Tables were close together inside. My oh my, how not to instill confidence in a customer. Suffice to say, walked straight out, if they cant even have their staff wearing masks where else are they cutting corners? Never again. Thanks wagon.

We stopped here after a day out as we have passed it several times and we noticed it had a large play area outside. We ordered food and drinks.I will give a balanced review. The bad..... The food order was taken incorrect by 3 things. One meal was brought out wrong, we sent it back and were then informed they had run out of what we had ordered, we were then charged for this. While we were waiting for a new meal, my daughter ended up eating my fries. The omlettes were awful and tasted powdery?The chicken nuggets were the worst thing we have ever tasted, not sure what the batter was made of but tasted terrible. It was almost like the oil was old? The chicken inside was inedible. It wasn't fresh, it was a kind of frozen pieces kind of chicken. The side of coleslaw was very strange tasting.The scampi was very expensive for a very basic scampi and chips. Not even tartare sauce was included, we had to use the sachets. Fries were soggy.The good.....The San Miguel was of a high standard and the place had a quaint feel of being authentic. The outside play area.The scampi was OK taste wise.I paid at the bar and was given a total. I questioned the bill as I order 3 fries but only 2 were brought out. Also I needed to clarify that the incorrect omlette was subtracted from the bill. It wasn't and I was informed it had remained on the bill as there were extra chicken nuggets on the plate! My feelings are that they shouldn't be serving food. The service is poor. No one asks how the meal is as they probably already know the answer. Have a drink here it is a quaint place but avoid the food at all costs.

A very nice pub with a very friendly landlady (Denise). Had a good bit of banter with her. Unfortunately they were not serving food due to restrictions but a 2 minute walk up the road was a superb chippy, Denise allowed for us to eat them at her tables. I would recommend for a decent pint as well.

The atmosphere is brilliant....the staff are lovely and helpful. It feels covid safe here the landlady makes you feel so welcome even while having a short break away with family. Plenty of seating outside for a pint. Our girls loved how big the outside was. Couldn't fault it at all.

We went here for a bite to eat. Bit of a strange welcome as they intimated that we hadn’t booked when we had. Lovely beef sandwich. Unfortunately it was accompanied by chips that were both raw and soggy with grease. Sent them back to be given fries. Back they went. Finally got chips. Instead of just getting more chips. They took the whole meals back which was unnecessary. Don’t mind paying £3 for some chips. But when chips cost very little u expect to get more than about 15 for £3????. The pub also ran out of basic condiments. I understand that some items might not be available but mayonnaise?? Just go to the shop up the road and buy some!! Lovey location, nice drinks and good for the kids to play. Probably go again but maybe not to eat which is ashame as it was lovely last time. Didnt seem homecooked today.

Went there today Friday 17th January for lunch.I had the beer bettered fish, and tasty it was too, I really enjoyed it, my friend had scampi, she said it was very enjoyable. The service was very good a very pleasent waitress.The only criticism I have was the lack of puddings, there was only 2 choices. Very reasonable prices and the restaurant area was comfortable. We will go again

Used to be a great pub, friendly staff, good beer and food. Last visited by me in February 2019.Not sure what happened, still good beer but during my visit on a cold January afternoon the pub was cold and I didn’t feel particularly welcome. There was a real fire but it was so clogged with ash it couldn’t get going. The wind seemed to be coming straight through the window! When our friend asked if they could turn the heating up the response was “oh yeah, the wind comes through the window”. No kidding!! We already knew that! But there was no answer to the question of extra heating. The bar lady (not sure who,she was, manager, staff?) obviously couldn’t care less - and it showed. A shame we always enjoyed our trips to this pub but I won’t be going again, plenty more pubs in the area with a cosy and friendly atmosphere.

I had the recent task of arranging refreshments for a party of 30+ family and friends. The communication was excellent throughout, ringing back when they say they would, which all contributes to a positive and professional service. The venue was warm and inviting, the staff friendly and responsive, the food fresh and delicious. It is those added homemade touches though that made it both perfect and memorable. It exceeded expectations in every area, and I would have no hesitation in recommending it for any occasion from a quiet drink to a celebratory dinner.

Went to lunch today with a friend, the first time I had been in a long time as previous visits had not been good.A good chef however makes a real difference.We had quite a wait for the food as it was cooked fresh and well worth waiting for.I had the steak pie with delicious red cabbage, parsnips and chips. My friend had sausages mash, peas and gravy.Both meals were delicious and very good value and the service was really friendly.Will definitely visit again soon.

Called in for a meal, no one else in restaurant which made me think why, well after the experience we had we now know why. The menu was an odd mixture of food. So much so I really didn't fancy anything but I gave it a shot. Wish we had left and gone down the road but it was late and we were hungry. Waited ages for the food, thought they had forgotton us there on our own in the conservatory (which wasn't very warm). When it did come was dried up as if hanging around under heat lamps for ages. I couldn't eat mine it was so bad, but no one came up to see of we had any problems with the meal, wish now I had spoken up, but to be honest was glad to be out of the place. No bottoms on seats is a true indicator of how good a place is, this isn't.

Visited this pub at lunch time with a friend. We both ordered prawns and marie rose sauce baked potato after about 30 mins we were informed that they had run out of prawns so we had the pulled pork with baked potato this was served with salad and was very nice. When we received the bill we were told we would only be charged for one potato and not two because of the faux pas over the prawns this I felt was a relly good move on their part so would certainly return

Stopped in on Sunday at short notice looking for a roast and was seated straight away. Which was a nice surprise as you don't seem to be able to go anywhere on a Sunday without booking these days. There was a carvery on and all the food was fine. The staff were friendly and helpful. When the bill came Ialso thought it was good value.

Me and my girlfriend went for lunch here today. We were very impressed with the quality of the food. It was served piping hot. Portions were generous and it was well presented. Very nice, tasty food cooked to perfection. Steak was tender and tasty. Every item on the plate was fresh. We saw the fish and chips come out for another customer so we will definitely be coming back to try that!!

We booked a table of 12 at short notice and didn't expect a lot to be fair after some of the other reviews on here and the price of the food. We are still in shock. On turning up we were greeted by the friendly staff who helped in everyway possible. Then we got round to the food and that was the biggest surprise possible. I ordered the special of the day which was venison. I would have happily paid double the price for the standard of the food served.
