The Swan in Wyre Forest

What a fabulous little gem! Front of house staff, Wendy and Charlie, so friendly and welcoming. Extensive menu - something to please everyone! Nothing was too much bother for them, and we sat and drunk tea and coffee and nattered away after our meal. Didn't feel rushed at all! Chocolate Brownie was amazing! All in all thank you for a lovely evening!

Excellent main meal and desert. Friendly and attentive front of house staff. Menu plentiful and fairly priced. We shall defiantly be returning soon!

What a gem , food was fantastic, service ( Wendy ) was excellent ,very welcoming and will definitely re visit when in the area .

What a gem, excellent food ,the Sunday roast is to die for ,partner has a fresh turkey baguette with all the trimmings . Was lovely to just sit and relax in the bar after our meal, chat to some locals and just chill . outstanding service (by Wendy ,) will definitely re visit when we are over that way again .

Came for a Sunday lunch yesterday, unfortunately they had ran out, we did go in the evening. However the service was fantastic and they went above and beyond to make my wife a roast pork and stuffing baguette which was lovely! Have not visited before but will definitely come back!

Had an amazing turkey roast take out today ( for one - even though enough food for two !) Generous portions , great food and service - my favourite place to go for food - gutted I forgot my “coffee flask” to get some of the mulled wine - can highly recommend Thanks Chris and Tracy and team Swan xxx

Although I live locally, I had never visited The Swan before but it was a convenient location to meet with a friend so I booked a table for dinner. Upon arriving, the bar had a few locals enjoying a drink and I wrongly assumed this would mean my friend and I would feel unwelcome. My concerns were unfounded when the lovely lady who looked after us during our visit provided us with a warm and friendly welcome. My friend and I enjoyed a generous main course and my friend also had a pudding. Everything tasted fresh and didn’t have that ‘just out the freezer’ taste. We both really enjoyed our meal and warm, hospitable welcome and would recommend.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch on Saturday and was very glad that we did so. Everything about the experience was lovely. Excellent and friendly hospitality, our waitress had a lovely personality and was very efficient. The food was really well cooked and nicely presented and hot. All in all a fabulous place for those as hoc Sunday lunches served in a homely style and lively surroundings. Highly recommended.

First time dinning here after friends recommendation. Service and food were good you knew that it was fresh cooked it was obvious unlike other pub restaurants fresh, tasty and enjoyable. We will return

Visited with friends for a local get together - and for the price we paid I think we were all very pleased with our meals. Very reasonably priced, good choice , hot and tasty . We were warmly greeted on arrival and promptly shown to our table. We ordered drinks and these came quickly. The same with our main courses - all looked appealing and tasted great - obviously home made. Waitress was very friendly and didn’t rush us but didn’t leave us too long either. We will definitely return.

Great homemade food, proper pint, inexpensive and friendly, efficient service. Local too; looking forward to the next visit!

Went there on Sunday 6th October 24, we hadn't booked a table and had the most beautiful Sunday dinner, we were sat down straight away, I had the turkey dinner and my fiancé had the pork. Came out piping hot and was so tasty. Staff were excellent and welcoming as we are new to the area, we thought we would give it a try. Definitely recommend and will be returning. Thank you for such a lovely welcome and dinner

We came in for the first time as we have just moved to the area,the welcome was great and the atmosphere was calm,warm and cosy,the food was outstanding,we had the Sunday roast,we came in on the 6/9/24 and the staff were amazing,they quickly found us a table and the food came out piping hot,it was delicious,thankyou so much to everyone that day,will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this beautiful pub

We visited here for Sunday lunch, quite surprised we could book a table so close to the Sunday as most places were fully booked, however that was a bonus for us. It's a really nice pub could do with a bit of renovation as there were clear signs of mould behind pictures and round windows (is to be expected due to the age of the property). We were approached quickly on arrival, the waitress was very polite & showed us to our table, we sat in the rear room where there were 3 tables, it was quite cramped as the tables were full it was also pretty cold in there. We ordered 3 Sunday lunches and upgraded 2 to them to a duo & a trio of meats, this took the dinners up to around £17 each. The meals arrived and they looked very well presented with nice portions of meat, the veg was served separately in a bowl for us to help ourselves, we were slightly disappointed at the amount of gravy that was on the plate and not convinced it was a red wine gravy as advertised. The crackling was almost non existent, it was smaller than a finger nail in size and would be easily missed. The food itself was very tasty with a plentiful portion, we then had desserts, chocolate brownie with vanilla sauce and ice cream, again very well presented and tasty, a little disappointed in the portion size as it did look lost on the plate. We had some drinks with our meal the Malbec was very nice. We asked for the bill and when it came we noticed that the 1st white wine was the house white and the second had been charged for a different wine, very frustrating as we asked for the same as the 1st drinks. We were waiting to pay when another waitress came in and literally told us to move off the tables as they were expecting more diners, although I have no problem moving tables I think it was very rude to ask the way she did and the fact that we had only finished our desserts a few minutes previously is not very professional. Overall it was very nice and yes we potentially will revisit I do think it's a little pricey for the meals, considering it was a plated Sunday lunch not a carvery, however we enjoyed the food so the cost wasn't an issue. I would suggest offering a side portion of gravy as some people like a lot and also be more generous with the crackling or at least ask if the customer would like a larger piece.

We stopped here for tea on our way from volunteering at the Severn Valley Railway. Good food and home brewed beer available, all great value and very tasty.

We visited this charming pub and sat in the beautiful verandah for a birthday, pre-theatre dinner and the food did not disappoint. We were served by the owner, who provided excellent, friendly service. The menu is wide and caters for all tastes and we would highly recommend!

Charming old pub, lovely helpful reception and service to our Dutch friends and ourselves, two of which party are disabled - the sandwich baguettes were excellent at lunchtime today despite the nearby traffic.

Our party of six all really enjoyed our food. My seabass was excellent and biscoff cheesecake was to die for. All in a nice environment with friendly staff

We held a little 'do' at The Swan today for my sister's birthday, and it was lovely! Chris and Tracy were so helpful and provided just what we wanted in terms of a small buffet for everyone - there was only a small number of us, so we need a lot of food. They even helped decorate the area for us, and were happy to bring a cake out whilst we all sang 'Happy Birthday'. I wouldn't hesitate to book here again or recommend to others. Thanks again!

I have been here a couple of times now and both times have been incredible. The food is absolutely delicious, would highly recommend the pie of the day (which was minted lamb the day I went), I've also been told by my friend that the Lasagne is very good. The sticky toffee is lip smackingly good! Very reasonably priced, quality ingredients in a charming little pub with fabulous ambience.

I’m not joking, this was the best pub meal I’ve ever had. The owner and staff were fantastic and the food was amazing. I can’t rate this place high enough! We will certainly be going back here, and I 100% recommend anyone to visit The Swan in Blakedown, Kidderminster

Would give more stars if I could, amazing place!

The pub/restaurant is exelannt for food I've visited 4 times now and the fillet steak and Stilton sauce is to die for and the Stilton and mushroom burger and the lamb shank all cooked to perfection also the staff and wendy are so nice and welcoming you would want to eat there again there are a few words to describe 5 STAR and value for money to

Very impressed ! . After not visiting this place for many years, we decided on a Sunday teatime visit. Everything surpassed our expectations, good choice of qualify food , cooked to perfection. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful, without being intrusive. Just right. We will definitely be back and will be recommending to friends and family.

We are a party of 4, and after visiting "Severn Valley Railway," we decided to stop for a meal at "The Swan at Blakedown" before travelling home to Derby. The food, service, and atmosphere were very good, and the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful 😀 10/10 all-round 🤗🤗

Overall it’s fine. A nice normal run of the mill pub serving nice normal run of the mill pub grub. I went with two family members, all three of us had the pate to start. Our eyebrows did raise a little at how long this took to come out (45mins+) bearing in mind that the place wasn’t packed at the time, and what are you doing other than slapping a bit of toast, pate, and salad on a plate? I suspect they may have forgotten to put our order through for a moment, but no big deal. Pate arrived and it was again, fine! Nice but you won’t be writing home about it. For main I had the lamb shank, which surprisingly for me, I wholeheartedly recommend, it was brilliant! I will certainly be having it again should I go back. The mash and mint gravy was also to die for. The other two with me had chicken strips/goujons (you guessed it, fine!) and one of their baguettes (halloumi I believe, also fine!) We left satisfied but not blown away. I was going to knock off a star for poor atmosphere but the issue at hand was not the pubs fault nor the staffs fault. There were some rude and disruptive customers unfortunately sat near us, this put a bit of a downer on the outing, and the staff were unfortunately getting the sharp end of the stick too, trying to deal with these people so in light of that I don’t think it would be fair to remove a star.

Had lunch here today. Was lovley food and friendly service. The lamb pie was amazing and the Onion rings sooo good.

Lovely home cooked food which appeared in no time by hard working friendly staff will definitely eat there again. Outside eating space very nice. Hope we won't regret recommendation and not be able to get a table

They have stopped serving food at this place.!!!

The service was excellent and food was good, and well priced. Generous portions both mains and puds. The drinks are not over priced either with a nice selection to choose from. Menu choice is good too.

Nice place to visit. Food was really good. Maybe burger could be less cooked but not a big issue. 5 star in overall. Desert was delicious. Worth any money.

Food was excellent with good service ...great to see a local hostelry being well supported

Great Sunday lunch... had the duo of meats and there was plenty on the plate

Will definitely be returning here, friendly staff, good food, nice little pub.

Had a really nice freshly cooked Sunday lunch ... couldn't fault it ...and a tiramasu for dessert ...couldn't fault any of it apart from some confusion over the bill at the end ...staff friendly and helpful and lovely relaxing pub ....very reasonably priced too ...23rd June 24

Lovely cosy pub with a nice atmosphere. Great food and bar staff were friendly

Food isn't as plentiful as it used to be. Had roast lamb and I got two slices of meat. Not enough. Staff are brilliant 👏

Brilliant pub, brilliant food. Brilliant service.

Good food, reasonable cost and a relaxed unpressured style of service.

The staff were very nice and the food was also as good , with a l9vley outside seating and decking with a no smoking or vapeing policy, was a great plus , I'm looking to go back with the in-laws as we enjoyed the food , well worth popping in we might even try the Sunday roast

We spend a lot of time eating in a lot of different places I must say it’s great to see old traditions service food all stop on would recommend to all don’t drive by pull in you will be pleasantly surprised

I've just eaten there this evening with some fellow group members and the food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. One of the best gammon steak dinners I've ever eaten AND very reasonably priced too for what you get! We'll definitely be eating there again! 😎👌🏼

Lovely pub. Good beer, reasonable prices and good atmosphere.

A very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful. The menu choice was wide and varied. Very good

Bit quiet for my liking but pleasant. Had great fish and chips. Decent service. Amber ale ran out so had to have hpa.

Worst pub in england. Will not be visiting here again.

Sunday mothers day menu, great food, would recommend, delicious and home cooked food and very good value. Nice atmosphere, comfortable bar and real ale.

4 of us had a lovely lunch at the swan today , the sea bass was absolutely delicious, the place a fully booked and buzzing . Thank you guys

Hy daughters 49th held here. Cannot fault the food and atmosphere. Awesome

It's so friendly, the food is definitely a cut above.

Friendly pub, nice atmosphere. Could have done with a couple of more flavoursome ales though.

Beautiful pub, good service and decor

Great food and friendly service. Will definitely come again. Lovely setting with a decent outdoors area (bit cold at the moment). Would love to visit again in the warmer months

Excellent food, served with a smile, and no waiting. Food a bit more expensive but worth it.

A great looking pub that we've drove past a fair few times but stopped off and enjoyed a couple of visits recently. We've always received a lovely welcome and the service has been great also. The pub itself is superb and the only thing missing is a real fire. Minor thing. Decent Guinness and the food has been lovely but wish places would serve proper chips and not frozen ones. Great baguettes but we've also enjoyed the traditional menu and the sausage and mash and the pie and mash were cooked perfectly. The biscoff cheesecake was naughty but very nice. Dog friendly with a decent garden in warmer weather and hope to return soon.

Popped in for a spot of lunch with family, the pub was very busy with Christmas bookings. Still managed to get our food order out quickly and served with a friendly smile, fully recommend a visit.

Good food. Lovely atmosphere and great service from polite and friendly staff.

Food was delicious and portion size was good. Plenty of atmosphere in the main pub section. We were sat in the conservatory which was less atmospheric but did allow for a quieter meal experience which was also very pleasant. Our service couldn't have been better. The lady that served us was warm, welcoming and attentive.

It’s a great pub with amazing food and great staff. They accommodated our table of 13 with no difficulty. Would definitely recommend

A lovely looking pub, a lovely entrance but it enters a small room with a huge TV that is on a supposed news channel, very off putting. Luckily we were then seated in the conservatory, however it's bit dark in there, a bit more light needed to read the menu and see the food. I was a bit disappointed with the food which I expected to be home made and tasty, no-one was overly impressed, chips were not hot, nor was the veg. and for some reason one main meal had dried parsley sprinkled all over the food, it added nothing to the look or the flavour. Staff were very pleasant, but unlikely any of us will go again.

Very quiet and a bit cold. Kept my jacket on. Food was good and reasonably priced.

The Sunday roast at the Swan is one not to be missed, true home cooking, the roast potatoes are properly roasted, as is the meat. The gravy is full of flavour and lifts the meal to another level that is rarely achieved by many restaurants . The vegetables are served separately, and the portions are generous. The staff work very hard but always find time to be helpful and friendly. Because the food is so flavoursome and the service is so good it is necessary to book for Sunday lunch. Highly recommended.

Lovely impromptu lunch with some family today. Food was delicious and the staff were really friendly ☺️ Would definitely recommend the Brie & Cranberry baguette and the Biscoff cheesecake xx

Came for lunch with my mom, aunt and dog. Food was delicious and the staff were really friendly ☺️

Really enjoyed the leg of lamb, so tasty and the food came out quickly, only thing I'd say is that the carrots and cauliflower couldve been cooked longer, other than that cant fault it.

We were looking for lunch and passed by this place. Really glad we stopped. Food was fantastic and the service was really friendly.

We were just passing by and stopped for lunch. Fantastic food and really lovely staff. Wish we were locals!

Squeezed us in for a Sunday dinner. Was very impressed with all the young staff that served us. Very professional, polite, and well mannered, absolute credit to them. The service was great, and the food certainly did not disappoint. I would go as far as say the cheesecake was the best I have ever had. Thank you for a great lunch.

Had a lovely Sunday roast en-route, hot, plentiful and tasty, great homemade puddings and very friendly service. Tank you.

Great place to meet. My steak was tough, exchanged for lamb, no problem. Well recommended.

We were passing, enroute home to Leicester, from West Mids Safari Park and needed to stop for something to eat. I'm so pleased we stumbled across you. The girls serving were lovely and friendly. The food was amazing, it's a real shame you're not closer to where we live as I'm sure you'd quickly become a firm favourite. We were so pleased it felt only fair to share this with you and to ask you to pass on our gratitude to front of house team and to the kitchen team. My goats cheese salad was gorgeous, my husbands scampi plentiful and my daughter actually ate all her meal (a rarity!)

Great food, friendly service. Will definitely visit again. Plenty of Gluten free options.

We were looking for somewhere to eat on Thursday 7th September whilst spending a few days in Kiddiminster & it was getting quite late & came across The Swan. We got a drink at the bar & asked the lady what time they were serving food till as we got there about 7:45 & wasn’t sure if we would still be able to get something to eat. We were in luck, it wasn’t a problem even though they stopped serving food at 8 o’clock. We were shown into the conservatory & soon decided what we wanted, steak & chips with peppercorn sauce & scampi & chips with a side order of onion rings. We weren’t waiting long for our meals which were a good portion size & nicely presented. We thoroughly enjoyed our main courses & decided to have a dessert each - the homemade lotus biscoff cheesecake & the tiramisu which were also excellent! Both girls behind the bar that served us in the conservatory were really friendly & professional & were a credit to the owners. We wouldn’t hesitate to visit again the next time we stay in Kidderminster.

Had yet another fantastic meal here , we sat outside and took the dogs , lovely atmosphere and friendly staff, the food was amazing, we are going back Saturday for a big birthday celebration in the conservatory. Thank you guys x

Brilliant food, Brilliant atmosphere. Rugby on, good pints, not overpriced. Look forward to coming again soon.

Always a good meal and friendly staff

I had the burger wife had lasagne excellent food and very friendly and helpful staff

Thank you Chris & Tracy for the best 50th birthday party, we all had a fantastic night 🥳. Everyone has been saying how delicious the buffet was, however I was enjoying myself too much to eat! Having Max DJ was just fab too. We really appreciate you making my birthday so special 🤗x

Lovely quaint friendly pub good prices helpful staff nice atmosphere.

We are local to the Swan and went for my Wife's Birthday with a party of 7 all I can say is just perfect food, staff everything we always have a great time the Hunters chicken is the best I've had only complaint cushion's on the chairs in the conservatory are a bit flat and that's all.

Lovely, great place for food, drink and relax.

Fantastic food,atmospher,service keep doing what you are doing 👏 xx

We went to the Swan at Blakedown tonight (Sunday) for a fiftieth birthday family meal. I would like to say that the landlord and staff were friendly and very helpful. The menu is excellent with a wide choice of meals to suit all tastes and appetites. The food was delivered quickly and all of the meals were excellent. I would recommend this pub for meals whatever the occasion or just for a meal out. The food is excellent and very good value for money. The service is very good and the pub has a good atmosphere. I cannot fault anything - 5 stars all the way. Thank you

Stopped off here on the way back from Wyre Forest, do glad we did food was really good and great staff

Beautiful homemade lasagna, excellent service, lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend and be coming back!

This is absolutely the perfect place for simple, honest pub food. The food, beer and service are all exceptional. What a pity other local pubs - like the Mare & Colt in Stanklyn Lane or the Dog at Harvington serve mass-produced food instead of this excellent fayre. Thanks for a lovely night, all at The Swan!

Excellent service and food was excellent Will certainly visit again as it a good range of beers and a varied menu

White wine should be better chilled but great customer service and food great thank you

Great food, excellent service. It’s amazing how similarly priced places with similar offers can be so different. Thinking about the disappointing Mare & Colt at Stanklyn Lane and Dog at Harvington. Don’t go there, come here. Miles better!

The food was very good "pub" food, the dessert was great. Would be 5 stars if there were more options that didn't reply on chips, and having GBnews on the TV was very off-putting, don't really want to see far-right politics while I'm trying to enjoy my brownie!

Super cheese and bacon burger lunch served efficiently, piping hot and with charm. Excellent fresh coffee. Very good value.

Lovely atmosphere pleasant staff Excellent food.

Went for the first time at the beginning of the month and because we enjoyed it so much, we went again the following week. Food and service both very good. Lovely home cooked food, served nice and hot, and the staff are very polite and...

Excellent Sunday roast and dessert. Despite is being a spur of the moment visit and not having booked a table the very friendly staff welcomed us and provided fabulous service. The food was delicious x

Outstanding Sunday lunch, a traditional Sunday roast with excellent vegetable selection and impeccable presentation, followed by an amazing dessert. The young ladies waiting on our table were very efficient, polite and friendly. I highly recommend The Swan.

We had a lovely family get-together at this pub, celebrating an 80th birthday. The food was lovely and well cooked and the service was par excellence! Nothing was too much trouble and we so appreciated their help in having such a successful birthday celebration. Highly...

Very disappointing. The preparation and presentation of the food served was poor, and very unappetising. Sunday lunch floating in a sea of gloopy gravy, chewy meat and roast potatoes tasting like they had been kept warm in a steamer. Bootlace thin soggy parsnips, and undercooked...

Not been there in 25 yeah…. Just passing by and it was fantastic

I absolutely love going to The Swan - even on my own. The food is freshly cooked, the staff are very friendly. The place is well kept and clean and Chris and Tracey are simply the best.

Very welcoming pub, staff friendly, dog made welcome, baguettes and chips fine, easy place to meet up with good value food. What made this pub was exceptionally friendly staff who went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. Will definitely be back.
