The Swan Inn in Wychavon

The food was lovely, and the staff was very friendly. The only thing was we booked a table, and it wasn't ready as people were still sitting at it. Also, we booked for 11 people, but 8 were on one table, and 3 were on another as we couldn't pull the tables together, so they felt apart from the group.

Lovely cosy pub with amazing friendly staff

This was the second visit and without a doubt a fantastic carvery! One of the best I've had in all fairness - self service also which seems a rarity now since covid! Definitely recommended!

After 10 years visiting Bromsgrove decided to try this lovely place for a meal, we were a fairly large group with varying requirements and needs, the staff were amazing, polite and accommodating. The place was clean and pleasantly quite, and the food was amazing, One of the nicest cooked steaks I have had in a long time. All our group had empty plates at then end of the meal and we were never rushed or felt pressured to hurry and leave. I rarely leave reviews because I never find places that are beyond average, The Swan Inn is well above average, Highly recommend and will be returning when we are down in Bromsgrove again next April. Thank you for the service.

Excellent carvery and menu. Lovely clean and fresh. Areas of secluded dining. Very warm friendly staff. Book ahead. Superb restaurant

Enjoyed a carvery here on a Wednesday lunchtime. I do think it’d be nice if there was a small plate vegetarian option, but overall the food was tasty and I’ll definitely be back

Very good carvey pleaty of room

Fabulous evening meal, with great service and friendly staff. Definitely recommend

Saturday 12th April 2025. Food very good served quickly. Staff pleasant and efficient.

Great place for a carvery.good choice of other food on the menu too.service was quick and efficient staff very polite and nice to see a smile makes customer feel welcome.

Our favourite pub for a special occasion, the food is devine

We have been regulars here for a while, for family meals, special celebrations, and down to just fancying a roast (But not wanting to cook,) and I can honestly say, it is the best carvery I have ever eaten. We visited today for a special family meal, and were so impressed by the lovely environment The Swan had to offer. Our server was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble for her, she also quickly resolved an issue we had with our meal, as well as the food being outstanding as always. I believe the waitress’ name was Meg. We were seated downstairs on a larger round booth. Unfortunately we did not have room for dessert but the new menu looks very good, and we wish to try it on our next visit. We look forward to another meal at The Swan, and we very much hope, we get the lovely waitress again.

Good food, good service, great place. We went for the Calvey, and it was lovel

Food was outstanding as always, the steak baguette was amazing tender beef what's not to love and a dipping gravy pot. Carvery food was amazing as always. Staff polite and friendly.

Lovely food, very friendly staff. Excellent place to go.

WOW! Chicken & Bacon pasta sounded interesting so I gave it a go. Garlic bread was as perfect as perfect can be & the flavours in the pasta stood out. Every ingredient assembled like it was being presented on MasterChef. Sadly the pasta was slightly overcooked, not enough to spoil the meal, but enough to spoil perfection. I'm sure a chef of this quality will take the comment onboard & will pay that extra bit of attention in future. I'm a passing diner having settled at a nearby truck stop for the night, but if I ever return to this area I'll definitely be back here for more 👍

Great all round pub friendly staff

On arrival the restaurant was busy and it was a Monday night, we had booked a table and was given a lovely booth table for the 2 of us. I had a pint of the “salt IPA” which was on special for £3 a pint!!! It was bang on. We then went on to have the carvery, i pointed out that I wanted all 3 meats and to” dish me up some gammon like you want to take me sister on a date” the carver knew the drill and give me a honk a gammon that would make a vegan weep. I then went on to load my plate up . I didn’t hold back , making sure I dished up a solid amount that could have fed a small family, the various veg were very varied and all amazing to eat. Usually you got to a carvery and the is always something that’s as dry as a nuns lady garden but everything was fresh n moist . Overall the food was top draw, the beer a bargain, and the environment was clean and dandy. If you want a nice meal out ya won’t go wrong with the swan, make sure ya book

Very tasty food, plenty of it available. Just don't expect piping hot food

The standard of the carvery and vegetables were very good . I would recommend 👍....

It was our first time there but everything was superb. We didn't have the carvery but our food was really good, we were very happy.

A lovely pub with plenty of car parking available. Very popular venue serving a great carvery with a very good selection of meats and vegetables. They have a normal menu available with a good selection also for all tastes. Will certainly be coming back again in the near future.

Excellent food, excellent carvery, excellent staff!

Really nice place for a Sunday carvery, mine was for a special occasion with all the family which made it more special, the staff were very attentive to all our needs.

Stuffed beyond belief... Will definitely be back!

Good value and pleasant atmosphere.

Booked a table of 14 and arrived on time. Told the table wasn't ready and we would have to wait. After a wait there was no movement on our booked table so we had to put our own tables together and move chairs etc. Staff ignored the issue.

Good food with dog friendly bar area

Had a carvery here today there was a table of 10 of us staff were great and the food was lovely definitely be back

Great food. Especially the carvery.

Excellent Food Service Gluten free menu

What a treat excellent service and the best carvery plus very good prices 👏👏👏

First time to go there and the food was spot on. Family had a carvery and they like it, i on the other hand ordered grilled gammon and it was properly grilled.

walked into the swan for afternoon meal, only to be told meals have finished for lunch and no afternoon service untill 18.00hrs barstaff and waitress not very helpful .

Four of us arrived for our 5.30 booked table at 5.25. We were ignored at the till for 5 minutes, until one of the staff grudgingly acknowledged us. We were shown to our table and informed that there was a 45 minute delay when ordering from the menu. We said Ok, and ordered food and drinks. We then waited until 6.55, without being approached by anyone so we decided to leave. The staff suddenly came alive and told us that our food was coming next. I thought that after waiting and being ignored for almost 1 1/2 hours, we would be better off going elsewhere. If you're the owner reading this, I feel sorry for you. I cant comment on the food of course, but the service was lousy.

Amazing food, easily up there with the best carvery’s I’ve had, amazing selection! Great service too! Lovely ambience!

Went for a carvery with 2 cousins for a catch up. It was packed to capacity only one space left on large car park several large parties gathered for their Christmas lunch but staff were not fazed one bit, the service was very good,the staff were very pleasant cheerful and friendly and the chef worked his way quickly and professionally through the extremely long queue of customers. The food was hot and plentiful and well cooked. Very enjoyable experience

I went with two other friends we had a goody table near to the carvery which I had requested and the meal was excellent..the beef was so tender..will definitely be going again ....

Not been for 40 years obviously changed hands good carvery as in not slop!

Brilliant service, lovely food and the waiting staff are amazing. Thanks for accommodation us at short notice

There today fantastic meal fantastic service carvery back to its best

First time there food fabulous and service was to would recommend it

Friends arranged for us to meet here today for lunch, with 7 in our party we all had the Cavery and it’s definitely worth a try. Along with a nice atmosphere and with plenty eating especially on a Wednesday Lunchtime tells you all you need to know about trying there, Thanks Team The Swan Inn 👍

Met family for a Sunday carvery and there was 30 odd of us which wasn't a problem when booked in advance. All ready for us when we arrived. Carvery was great and now rates in my top 5 anywhere in the country. I was so impressed with the place that we went back (only 4) of us as we were in area. Carvery ws great again and we will be back again. Staff were friendly and courteous and polite. Easy to see why its busy and people keep coming back for the food.

Always a good place to eat. Great service and a wonderful selection and choice of dishes. The carvery is especially sumptuous. Plus they now have mashed potato on the menu😋

We popped in tonight for dinner. We didn’t have a reservation but were lucky enough to get the last available table at the time. The food was lovely - two carvery dinners and a burger. The service was exceptional though, our waitress was friendly, funny and prompt - what more can you ask for!

Great place for a carvery! We are regular customers because of the food but the staff are also great. Autumn and Liv are always super friendly, chatty and a good laugh too. They both always interact with my son as well, which he loves . Thanks for making our experience enjoyable girls.

Excellent food..as always. Good service, friendly staff. Guinness back on tap too...hurrah

Lovely Sunday lunch recommended, Highly recommended for a midweek roast 👌

Not sure who vets there staff here but absolute terrible staff who decided them selves who is allowed in and who’s not. I took my friend in to watch the football and because he didn’t drink he wasn’t allowed in. Complete joke and a terrible atmosphere they’ve created. I wouldn’t go in the even if I was an alcoholic.

Decent food, OK service, value for 3.

Absolutely lovely carvery on Saturday 12th Oct. Service was friendly and excellent. Shall be going again.

Great carvery, plenty of meat! A few nice beers too

Didn't have a Carvery but the food was lovely the staff was friendly with professional manner and it was clear.

Lovely place and dog friendly too! 👍🏻👍🏻

Good food poor customer service

Carvery was really good, variety of food on offer was great.

Disappointed at prices fish and chips £15!!

Be careful when booking online, there are 5 Swans in Bromsgrove and we booked the wrong one for Sunday carvery (a common mistake). The understanding staff made room for us in the bar and we ate. The carvery is very good with a large selection of veg that isn't over cooked. You get a tray for your plate, so your gravy doesn't end up everywhere. The ales are kept well. Not our 1st and not our last visit.

Absolutely amazing food and great pub, staff are amazing and polite would definitely be back again, only thing I could fault was the fact the dog friendly aspect is bar only and no where on their website or google said it was only the bar, if they could amend that because if we weren’t able to be reseated in the bar we’d probably have had to leave. The website states all aspect of the pub cater for 2-4 legged friends

The nicest carvery I have ever had and also well catered for gluten free options.

Amazing food for my 30th birthday! Everyone really enjoyed the carvery and everyone who has mains including myself were shocked how quick the food came out, as well as the generous portions! A few on our table had starters which were absolutely lovely! The service was second to none, I couldn’t have asked for better service. Thank you so much to all the staff at the Swan for making a very special occasion that little bit more special! Would definitely recommend this amazing establishment to anyone, thank you all again!

Amazing food and desserts. Fully recommend

Sat in the bar for a carvery with family and the dogs. The staff were friendly. The carvery here is delicious. Everything always tastes fresh and home made. The meat is cooked perfectly and the cauliflower cheese is amazing. Thanks, we will return again.

Absolutely fantastic experience at The Swan Inn. The food was delicious, with generous portions and a great variety on the menu. The staff went above and beyond particularly when locating a misplaced retainer. Thank you!

Very acceptable Mother's Day carvery, 2 courses £19.95. Extremely popular, place was heaving and that was at 5.30pm. We were a party of 9 and were well looked after by very hard working staff. Would recommend on any day, tbh.

We went along to the classic car show and was pleasently surprised was an amazing day

Went to the swan for a birthday meal and had to wait 40 minutes for our meals to be served with no apologies from staff or reason for the long wait time. While waiting for our food a couple on the table next to us were waiting for their bill and had asked a waitress for it twice they were met with a very rude server telling them that it was because the kitchen was busy (server with the red hair was awful and should honestly not be working in this industry if she can't fix her grumpy face, we felt like an inconvenience to her) when we finally got our food and carvery we were given a very char grilled (burnt) stake and the beef from the carvery left me with more fat and unchewable meat than actual beef, not to mention the onion that was sat in oil and the gravy that was salty enough to kill a slug. This is the second time we have tried the swan and once again we're left disappointed and will definitely not be making the same mistake of going there for dinner again we would have been better driving the extra 10 minutes up the road for a McDonald's.

My first experience and review was based on a quiet lunch time meal for two and was rated five stars. The last two visits for evening meals for six adults have been appalling. The first our table for six o'clock would not be ready until at least 6:30 as the previous guests had left the table to visit the outside bar and for their children to play! We ate in the bar area despite there being other table laid and set up for the next day! The choice was limited and the carvery was cold. We were also reminded that service to the bar stopped at seven despite waiting til 6:35 for our meal to be served so I guess a sweet was out of the question. Tonight our final attempt to enjoy a meal here was a disaster. Our booking was for four o'clock to avoid the busy evening. Arrived promptly and shown to our table and curtly reminded that we could stay for up to two hours as there were other bookings. Again not everything on the menu was available, and we waited over 10minutes for a drink order and about 40 minutes for the main course and carvery which was served by staff that appeared cross or ill tempered and bothered by tiresome customers. It seems that in summer the temptation to increase profits outweighs the care for customers. Plenty of staff but none seemed to have any energy or will to serve table. Get the bookings in shove out some average food and listen to the till roll ring. No way to serve the community that supports the establishment throughout the quieter months.

Really enjoyed our catch-up and meal tonight your food is always so tasty 😋

Sunday Carvery - I could not be more impressed! Every member of staff was smiling, warm, helpful and so attentive to my GF needs. The chef/carver clearly cared about allergies/intolerances and even offered to use a new/clean knife to carve my meat. The food was soooooo tasty and the range of vegetables was huge....just wow! Wow! Wow!

Had a delicious carvery, amazing selection of vegetables all cooked to perfection.😋

Jess really made our night. Amazing food as always. But made extra special with the drinks. Thank you ladies 🩷🩷

First time visit, staff found a table for us very quickly, plenty of space, decor very nice, carvery excellent, and the price very good. Pleased we found this place.

We were a party of 9 celebrating a birthday today. All enjoyed a carvery then were told we had 10 minutes to leave the table! We hadn't had desserts or coffee. I appreciate the fact other people book for a later time, but I really think a large party should be given more table time. This spoilt our meal and time together.

Amazing meal great service all at a good price Highley recomend it

Family owned pub, outstanding service, would highly recommend

Carvery here today. Lovely as usual. Lovely staff too.

A good carvery meal. Staff were very good.

The food was really nice, however the service was awful. We had to wait so long for our drinks to arrive we had to go and get them ourselves. The staff are so busy chatting with each other than serving the customers.

Great food, equally good service....all reasonably priced too.

Looking for a great quality carvery? Highly recommend The Swan 👌🏼😋

Lovely place to have a carvery staff are very friendly and there’s a wonderful atmosphere calm. The food is brilliant and the carvery was still warm which is great as some aren’t.

Fish & chips were absolutely delicious.

We usually like the Swan. But today went with the family table of 8 and very disappointed. The carvery was barely warm. The meat to the veg was not like it is usually. I had to leave alot of mine. Sorry. We have just tryed this place again but never again. Waitress looked like she didn't want to be there. Almost all 3 meals was left. She never asked if all was OK. Or did we want diserts. Just a load of miserable staff. The problem is they are all young staff. Could be good with better training. No welcome at all. Never again. You need to pull your socks up

They always find a table whether the main room or the bar.

Walked in. And walked out staff rude no greeting listed times for food serving also incorrect. No thankyou

Lovely place. This was the first time I'd been, we had a birthday celebration with a fairly large group of 20 of us. We had a mix of carvery and off the menu. Both were delicious. The menu food came out promptly so they weren't waiting whilst the carvery people were sorted. The staff were brilliant and kept checking for drinks. And everything was so well organised to clear away and get puddings out. Would absolutely recommend having a meal here

We arrived at 1pm for a carvery lunch. I had a slice of ham and one of turkey. Both perfectly cooked and of generous proportions. The self serve vegetables were, in part ,disappointing. The hordes of pensioners who had arrived earlier had plundered the offerings like a flock of vultures muscling in on a lion kill on the Serengeti. Three sad looking carrot slices stared miserably up at me, I apologised to them for not selecting them, the remains of the cauliflower cheese encrusted the rim of the near empty bowl like a deserted coral atoll in the Pacific and the dauphinoise potatoes were reduced to a homogeneous mush in the bottom of the pot. That said, the dining experience was actually OK, the staff were pleasant and helpful and I will come again.

Wonderful dining experience. Thank you

Mediocre at best. Carvery food had been there a while, nothing fresh and a fair amount of waiting despite it being empty.

Great carvery busy place but plenty of room

Carvery. Had a nice meal. Friendly staff

Superb food and lovely place for a carvery the whole family loved it..

Staff were a little short so waited a while to take order and bring drinks over. Carvery was great

Lovely pub. Great carvery. Brilliant choice of drinks. Lots of choice in tap especially if you like cider. Will certainly be back

There’s a reason why this restaurant is booked out constantly. What a fantastic visit. Great hospitality and wonderful food. My mum had booked the wrong Swan and on a Sunday they had no tables available (not surprising may I add) Our waitress, Meg F did everything she could and completely went out her way to ensure we could dine in their establishment. A massive thank you to her, as it was our mess up not theirs. We will definitely return and will ensure we book the correct Swan next time!

Brilliant experience. Carvery with plenty of choice. Staff were very pleasant and attentative

Only 10 minutes of the M5, Very pleasant country pub. Food is excellent, recommend the carvery. It was fairly busy when I called even at midweek ,but they can cater for passing trade, however i would advise booking. Staff are extremely pleasant. I will be calling again when in the area.

Excellent service, carvery lovely and hot
