The Tap House in Wychavon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great food. Good service outside and inside Friendly atmosphere

Terrible customer service - manager didn’t care, waitresses don’t care, food ok but the ‘customer is right’ does not apply here - will not return

Wednesday 14th August 2024, My husband and I went to meet our friends Valerie and Bill and to go for lunch at the ‘The Tap House’ pub at Hartlebury near Kidderminster. My husband and I arrived a little early. On site is the ‘Hartlebury Brewery’, a micro brewery which started life in 2018 and produces beers for the pub and also has a shop selling local beers and ciders. My husband and I visited the shop and we purchased six bottles of ‘Hartlebury’ Bitter and 6 bottles of local ciders brewed in and around the area for the bargain price of thirty pounds. We stowed these into the car until later when we can sample these goodies. We then met Valerie and Bill in the car park of ‘The Tap House’ at twelve thirty. We then went into the pub restaurant which was once the old train station and has been loving turned into a very light and airy restaurant. We were seated at a nice table for four on this lovely hot August day. The table was laid with shiny cutlery and glasses and had white napkins. The waitress brought us the menus, which we took some time to peruse and then we ordered our food and drinks. Valerie had the beer battered fish and chips, which she said was really nice. My husband and I had the ‘Blade of Beef’ which was served with Dauphine garlic potatoes and mixed vegetables and gravy, the beef just melted in the mouth. Bill had the steak and ale pie which was served with peas and golden chips, which he said was really nice. The food when it arrived was well presented and served piping hot. We washed all this lovely food down with a pint of ‘IPA’ bitter for Bill, a pint of ‘IPA’ bitter for My husband, tap water for Valerie and I had a pint of ‘Rattler Mango’ cider, which was really refreshing. We all had desserts; Bill had the chocolate orange brownie served with vanilla ice cream. My husband had the apple and blackberry crumble served with creamy custard. Valerie had the honeycomb cheesecake. I had the white chocolate and raspberry roulade served with single cream. The desserts were delicious and the perfect finish to our meals. We did not bother with teas or coffees afterwards, as we were all well fed and very content. This was our first visit here and we were very pleased and will return at some point in the not too distant future.

This is by far the worst place I eaten in how I get good reviews for food unbelievable

Came here for Sunday lunch with friends that we had been visiting ...we all had the Sunday lunch...my husband and friend had the beef and it was terrible ..spoke to the waitress she changed it for pork which again was terrible ...no body seemed interested so friend spoke to a male waitress he said he would speak with manager ..when bill came they had knocked one meal off the bill which was fair enough...when I went to pay the bill the waitress asked if everything had been ok for us to which I replied not really but there was no come back at all ...the waitresses in our opinion need some customer service training cause not one of them have any at all ..very disappointing won't return

Went here for lunch yesterday. It's situated right next to the Hartlebury train station. There is a large car park at the back of the pub. We sat in the bar by the window and ordered some whitebait and soup and Chicken and Chicken Curry for mains. Outside the pub across from the main door are more tables and there is a smoking area too. We ordered our food and drinks and it wasn't too long before the starters arrived. Food was very well presented and tasted lovely. The curry had plenty of chicken and the naan bread was in small round bites. Food was lovely and well presented too. What was interesting is that although we were sat next to the train station, the noise from the trains was very quiet and out meal was undisturbed. Very lovely place that we will visit again and I would suggest that anyone in the area needs to try it out

Lovely food been here a lot always good

Waitress service always a plus. Food and drinks served promptly. Tasty food. Atmosphere relaxed. Always a pleasure to visit.

Highly recommended the mains, the blade of beef was simply to die for ! The food came quickly and efficiently. All other 9 mains looked delicious and everyone commented on how nice they were, will definitely be returning! The only down fall was the puddings all bar one were pretty terrible, chocolate fondant was an over cooked chocolate cake and the shop brought alternatives weren’t much better (but the roulade did look wonderful). But because the main was so amazing I just dealt with it. Must try you won’t regret it!

Can't recommend the food high enough, great quality, large portion size, very tasty all and served quickly. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Make sure you book a table as it gets very busy

Nice place . We took my wife’s parents out for lunch . The food we had was very nicely presented. Chips were the worst part , staff could smile a bit more and the boom boom music from kitchen was a little irritating. Otherwise we enjoyed it , Thankyou .

Excellent lunch here with a friend Friendly attentive staff Excellent choice on menu Well presented and well cooked food Competitive prices Easy parking

Excellent choice of beers, friendly staff and lovely food.

Had a lovely curry of the day which was chicken tikka masala, perfect

2nd visit here.Molly was an absolute delight who served us.Very attentive and jolly young lady.She looked after my daughter really well. Food lovely would recommend for certain

Always great food and real ales. A nice venue with lots of atmosphere and ample parking with an overflow carpark available. There is a bar and a large restaurant, if these are full there is still the option of using the heated marquee. Our favourite local, highly recommended 👌

June 2024 We stopped off here Friday for lunch. An absolutely delightful place. We chose 2 mains from the set menu £15 for 2. All Mains and Desserts are very reasonably priced. Very good service too. Lovely spacious pub with plenty of seating outside. What was also great here there was no music in the restaurant area, so we could converse really well without having to compete with background music, just the happy hubbub sound of voices and laughter. We will certainly be returning 👍!

Dreadful experience, having told them about my severe intolerence to bell peppers, and change in meal choice as chicken had bell peppere (it didn't) I was given an alternative meal with side salad which contained lots of bell peppers!! Finally recieved food which was cold, and barely edible. They did take my meal of the bill but would not return as I could not trust them. My friends meal however was delicous. Just think they need extra training regarding food intolerences.

Very nice meals at competitive prices and service with a smile 🙂

Would honestly advise anyone to avoid. Waitresses were rude & unhelpful, huffing and puffing and rolling their eyes when asked for a table, not to mention their swearing & bad attitude. All of them seemed miserable, unprofessional & like they didn't want to be there. Made to feel very uncomfortable, couldn't wait to get out of this place, food was awful but after a long day & being unable to find anywhere else open, I guess it was somewhat better than nothing. Worst meal & dining experience (if you can even call it that) that I've had. Absolutely no atmosphere to the place, depressing and sad to say the least. The only good thing about the place was the friendly and polite bar man. I am never one to leave a bad review for a business, but i genuinely would not feed that food to my dog, and if I tried he would likely refuse to eat it.

Excellent all round. Staff are amazing, hard working and friendly. The food is absolutely fantastic and the drinks are so reasonably priced. This is a little gem and on our door step, we will be returning. Thank you for a lovely after afternoon, Jason , Debbie and Dean 😀😀😀😀

Fabulous home cooked food, great selection of beers, nice friendly staff.. just wish it was open later as closes at 9

Love it here. If I could say One thing it would be you get way to much food and that's not a bad thing for some lol

Had a really lovely delicious lunch, highly recommended 😘

I must say its the 1st time I've visited.... Today I visited with family I was not disappointed food was excellent Puddings are to die for so lish I had chocolate orange cheesecake 😋 Looked nice on the eye And my father enjoyed his fruit crumble 👍 xx

Lovely food, really good value and a great atmosphere.

Excellent beer. Didnt get to eat as we missed the kitchen which closes at 8pm, we arrived 8 20 but had some local beer. Atmosphere was great. Early closing time of 9pm compared to other pubs but well worth a visit.

I love the food and service that we always receive. The salmon dish is yummy..

Great place standards brilliant. Lovely staff comfy atmosphere

Great family evening out we all danced all night

Really lovely pub! Been here a few times and the food is amazing! Reasonably priced too. Win win :)

Amazing food. Great service. Friendly staff

Without a doubt the best cooked meal iv eaten out in many a year I often get called negative on reviews but the tap house? Wow

Food is good and fresh, service very slow

Delicious food, served by attentive waiting staff. Portions were generous and although very busy, arrived in a reasonable time.

Wonderful evening, the place was packed, but everything was fine, Wonderful atmosphere and very friendly staff,the food was amazing, everything was cooked to perfection, and very generous portion sizes, we also thought that the prices were very good, for what we got,definitely recommend the wild boar starter, and the blade of beef main.

Well this was a pleasant surprise for a new venue to us. Four of us booked for an early lunch today (midday booking), they don’t open until midday so it was empty when we arrived but very busy by the time we left. We know why it is busy because the food was excellent as was the local beer (Hooker APA). Admittedly, we only had burger meals which were the best we had tasted in some time and the final bill was also a pleasant surprise. We will definitely return.

Five star food.and staff are all very efficient and friendly.

We went to the Tap House to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary, thinking we could have a nice meal. Oh the disappointment!! Food was ok once it arrived! To be honest the main course only arrived after we asked for the bill, for a soft drink that we had had and the starter. We sat after the starter was cleared away for over 45 minutes. We know they were fairly busy but there were still a few empty tables. Don’t they serve customers in rotation as the orders are taken? We asked a waiter about our main course. He went off, but we never got a response. We then asked for the bill, this time the waiter shot into the kitchen, out came our main meals served on stone cold plates. It felt as if they were plonked on the table in front of us. I contacted the Tap House via email when we got home, they haven’t had the decency to reply. This was on the 10/02/24 we are writing this on the 12/02/24.

The light lunches are delicious and plentiful. The young man who served us was polite ,friendly and helpful. The ambience is great. It was very busy, but lovely diners, didn’t wait long for food. Very reasonably priced too! My cousin & I have been a few times and have always had very tasty meals. We’re already booking to come back at the end of March. Thank you to all the staff. 😀

Service here is first class. Staff are eager, polite & professional. Food was first class, delicious. No mystery why this place is so busy with full tables. Well done.

Excellent tap house with good selection of ales. The bar and restaurant area is modern and comfortable. There is an overflow car park at the back as it can get busy.

One of my favourite pubs and it never disappoints. Great food at a reasonable price, lovely relaxed atmosphere and the staff are amazing. Can't wait until I'm over that way to visit again. We'll done all concerned.

Excellent food at very reasonable prices.Best fish and chips and faggots we have had, Varied and excellent menu plenty for vegetarians as well. They offer lighter lunches which are excellent value for money.

Lovely pub very good service,definitely worth a visit and be coming back..

Great food,always enjoy eating here.

Great bar food always delicious 😋 and fabulous staff always pleasant thank you all.

Friendly staff, good food, and a great pint .. Off The Rails is my favourite.. Brewery shop is also worth a visit.

Brilliant meal,great atmosphere,can't wait to go again.

The staff were really attentive. Good choice on the menu

Enjoyed a great meal at The Tap House today with friends. Service was prompt and food was excellent. Enjoyed choices of scampi, fish and steak from the 2 for £14 menu. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious. Staff were kept busy as lots of people were enjoying the lunch service but food and drinks were served promptly. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

It's always a great meal here. Booked for the 3 course Christmas meal so see you again soon. Thank you, Neil

Excellent, good train based meeting point with a great light bite menu Faggot "light lunch" £7.....

Lovely place wonderful home cooked food

Great selection of real ales. I love that the burgers are smashed here, not a common sight. Delicious.

First time coming here and it was amazing. Lovely home cooked food, the four cheese lasagne was the nicest I've ever had. The staff were lovely too and very efficient. We will be returning again soon.

We had an absolutely amazing meal, the food was fantastic. Superb value for money, the portions are generous and plentiful. Service was good considering the restaurant was full and the staff were very attentive. Overall, it was a fantastic evening. We look forward to our next visit. Thank you.

Never been at tap house before! Food was excellent! Staff was very good! Will definitely be going back. Also it was a good idea preordering food as there was large party of us! Brilliant service well recommended

Excellent ale Butty back delicious. Service was fast and efficient. Atmosphere was vibrant lots of regulars and groups of interesting people. Rich W

Staff need more training, managers a idiot

Nice popular place for a meal. Good food with a fair range of dishes. Can eat inside or outside under cover. One start down as my lemon chicken was rather over done, still okay but not the best..

We all had a good time good food good service it was a nice friendly atmosphere staff were helpful

Excellent customer service and food.

Lovely restaurant, all friendly staff, good parking, pleasant atmosphere.

Best Sunday lunch we have had in a long time.

We had not been to this returant it came highly recomended by several people we told where we were going. The experience lived up to the recomendation and expectations. Good food and beer served by friendly staff. A good time was had by all. Highly recomended by us.

Fabulous birthday family meal. Staff were very helpful.

Love this place, always busy obviously as the food good staff are lovely 👍👍👍😄

Excellent menu, especially for gluten-free vegetarian meals. Lovely friendly staff.

Somewhat chaotic in the marquee. Long wait and food order wrong. They did monetarily compensate and food ok.

No not go here. I never usually write reviews but I am absolutely disgusted in the service me and my partner just received. We waited to be seated and we weren’t even acknowledged so we presumed it was a restaurant we’re we seated ourselves. We sat down and were service by a lovely young waitress and waiter, we explained where were sat and they said this was fine and took our food and drink order. A middle aged waiter then came up behind us and very aggressively shouted “Why are they sat there” then proceeded to shout that the table was reserved and moved us off (no reserved sign anywhere) he then stormed off behind the bar not making any effort to reseat us so we had to leave a feeling very unwelcome and uncomfortable. I feel very sorry for anyone having to work or associate with this man.

To get an inside table Book well in advance, the marquee is heated, but can be a little bit drafty. Other than that, would recommend.

We were here on a midweek evening for a meal with friends. The outdoor area was packed with a private party for someone who worked at the Tap House. On one of the hottest evenings of the year, we were seated in a boiling hot dining room with no fan or aircon. The service was abysmally slow; our order was taken, but the food took a long time to arrive. It wasn't worth waiting for - the meat was ok, but the chips were undercooked and bearing in mind the slow service, it didn't seem worth compaining. The beer - very cheap, I admit - was warm and watery. After our plates were cleared, no one came to ask if we wanted dessert until we caught the attention of the manager who wasn't even working that night. When we did get them, the desserts were pretty bland and mass-produced. Really disappointed in teh quality, and the very young waitresses - dressed in very casual torn shorts - seemed overwhelmed.

Hoped to get a table on spec , luckily they could accommodate us , one of the hottest days of the year we opted to eat outside under their marquee which was lovely . Menu was varied with a good selection but not too many like the chains do which can be overwhelming , I opted for gammon melt and my husband had a burger with pulled pork , he said it was tasty , my gammon was moist and not at all salty , our plates were ample with lovely fresh salad and crispy chips , drinks were very reasonable as was the food. There is a microbrewery at the rear which was closed much to my husbands dismay but we will return , it was really lovely

Excellent pub! Good beers, excellent food and proper value. The menu is ‘old school’ , good steak/burger etc, chips and salad/ peas . Nor pretentious, just good food , at sensible prices. Would recommend to anyone, especially if you are a doggy lover. Would return in a heartbeat

Great little place to be when the sun shines.. Lovely restaurant to eat inside too... Food excellent, alway hot, tasty, cooked to perfection.. Nice little place to eat 💯 👌

Excellent food, good value for money and friendly staff. We would recommend anyone to visit. We were staying locally and ate there on a Tuesday and enjoyed the food so much returned on the Wednesday . There were plenty of people eating on both evenings which we felt supports our good review of this pub and restaurant.

Absolutely gorgeous hidden gem.....food was out of this world and incredibly good value for money. Plenty of seating and parking available and even an outside marquee and beer garden.....will be visiting this wonderful place on a regular basis now we have discovered it.......sssshhhhhhh....don't tell everyone..!!!!

Just checking if there was food being served .but decided to go somewhere else.

A few friends met here for food before attending a concert at Hartlebury Castle. This is a very popular place. We enjoyed our food from a good menu.

The most tasty steak and ale pie around…

Visited with my wife 21/08/2023 and ordered two of the smaller meals priced at just £14 for both along with a pint of thatchers cider and a pot of tea. the food was served piping hot and tasty, very generous portions, not at all small plus the service was efficient and friendly. I'd realised when we got home we had not been charged for the drinks, phoned to put this right but told to pay as and when we were next passing by. Thanks for such good food at the very affordable prices.

Meeting with family the food was excellent and the staff were very helpful in everything we needed very enjoyable day

Food fantastic, book as always busy, well worth the visit and will go again.

The tap house is a lovely little pub in Hartlebury. The food and the service is always fantastic when we go for a Friday lunch!

Hollys first visit to a pub, food was excellent !

Great food. Staff are all helpful.

Excellent Sunday lunch experience, good value

Nice pub, friendly staff, lots of tables in and outside to choose from.
