The Tap House in Wychavon

This quirky building was very obviously once a railway station. The service was friendly and the atmosphere very relaxing. The menu had a great choice and the prices very reasonable. I chose the blade of beef, but unfortunately it had dried out and wasn’t exactly the melt in the mouth experience I had hoped for. The vegetables were plentiful and generous. On the other hand my husband’s Mexican chicken with beef chilli was enjoyed by both of us ! Unfortunately the chips were not the best as they tasted of old oil. We did enjoy our visit though as it was such a relaxing place to visit, and we will be back to try something else from the menu as maybe I was just unlucky.

Food always fantastic and great staff

Food and atmosphere ok... Staff exceptional, care and patients with elderly deaf folk.

Nice pub with large outdoor area, but no garden. Was the old Hartlebury railway station and still on an active railway line, next to the level crossing. Had a "lighter" bite, which was nice. Visited at a quieter time, just before 3pm cutoff for food on a weekday. Friendly staff

Sadly not the experience we had hoped for. It started off with my glass being covered in lipstick which was disgusting. Now I appreciate this isn’t the end of the world, however, the staff made no effort to apologise and seemed unsure as to why I was asking for a fresh drink/glass as if to say get over it. The rest of the glasses on the table were also filthy. The food was alright but it took an hour to come and my bbq pulled pork baguette is how I envision cat food to taste - not great. The food was piping hot though when it arrived. When we asked for the bill the waitress said she would bring it over. We went up to the bar to pay as we thought this would be easier for the staff. When we approached the bar, the waitress was very defensive and felt it was appropriate to reel off her reasons for not bringing the bill to the table. I felt this was very unnecessary as we were just merely being helpful and in no way frustrated at the bill not arriving at the table. I do feel the staff lacked professionalism and there is generally an unprofessional vibe to the whole restaurant. Also, had I have seen how unprofessional the manager was towards the 1 star reviews on here, I never would have visited the restaurant in the first place. This just sums up the unprofessional vibe I encountered earlier. Stop getting defensive and actually do something about it. I won’t be making any plans to return.

We've been here about 6 times now and the last 2 times the portion size for the Sunday roast has shrunk dramatically! Odd though the price hasn't reduced in line with the lack of food. Our last booking was for four people and we all agreed on the portions being small. Another family member has since been and they also commented on smaller portions. Will we be eating there again? No. Will they miss us? No. Will we miss them? No.

We come here quite often and Unfortunately won't be going back. We all had a roast dinner and the meat seemed to be processed and not off a joint. The veg was bland and only just cooked. The portion size was completely different to before, a lot smaller and lacking in flavour. We actually left still feeling hungry and we've never had that problem there before as the portions were a good size. Friends have been since and they've had the same problems so this wasn't a one off. I did send an email and got no response so they've lost not only mine and my families trade but also my friends and their friends trade!

Went with a large party with pre ordered food. The food was served on time however the plates were pretentious. The starter was served on a long narrow plate and food fell onto the table easily. The filling on the steak pie was superb, however the crust was very flaky and it was served only with chips and no vegetables.

Tried ringing up to book twice in morning and once after 12, and got message to try later. As it happens was reasonable seating space and parking with overflow (around 12.30). Obviously gets busy from opening time! Found finding the place tricky, no explanation on website. Need to come off A449 going towards Kidderminster, turning left for Hartlebury just after the Esso garage roundabout, continue down Worcester Road till Station sign, to turn right UNDER the A449 and is then on right. As entered looked at and was seen by members of staff stood near bar, but no indication of where should sit, so went and sat in bar area. Later looked round and realised was a nicer restaurant area we could have been shown to. No-one approached us despite reading on website subsequently, that was table service for drinks and food. Got up and asked a staff member what the usual procedure was, and was told order both at the bar, and a menu was brought. Small guy at bar was excellent doing drinks and taking order speedily. Offered me later payment, but did there and then. Food was on the table in a reasonable time. My large cod and chips was not the largest but acceptable, good lot of chips but mushy peas a bit runny. Main problem was my wife’s lasagne was too dry and the meat indiscernible, more like a paste. Being hungry she largely ate it, but pronounced it the worst lasagne she had ever had. She regularly eats lasagne when we go out, makes it, and our daughter in law is Italian! She approached the bar as we were leaving to complain, and the manager was called. She said as my wife had ate it, no refund would be offered. A drink or pudding was offered but we were on our way out. Think from a customer care viewpoint a refund should have been offered, basically means we will not be back. Unfortunate as is a pleasantly located place.

We have been before and we'll go again, great venue busy, good food and ale.

We've been here several times when my mother-in-law lived in Stourport. We had to return to Stourport for a ceremony, so we stopped by for a meal on the way to our overnight hotel stay. Worked perfectly.

My first visit to this lovley friendly restaurant the food was well presented and cooked to perfection my apple and blackberry crumble the best i have ever tasted loads of fruit in it of which i loved i will definatly be going back taking some friends next time so that they can taste this lovely food . Wished i lived closer i would definatly be a weekly customer.

First time for Steve & Di today, food was amaizing med/rare Rump, cooked to perfection. They no know I was in Catering trade a bit back 😄

Staff were amazing as soon as they saw we had a wheelchair assisted us to seats food was stunning and excellent value for money will be returning very soon

Pleasant attentive staff great menu selection as well as a specials board. Food freshly well cooked and plentiful. We'll be back soon.

Fantastic place, booked a meal for a family 80th birthday, food was out of this world, I had steak and ale pie, best I've ever eaten, we will definitely be back!

First ever visit to the Tap House & the only improvement I can think of is that I wish it was closer to home ! Service was so attentive & friendly, in-house beer was delicious and the food was amazing in both taste & value. The Tap House was recommended to me by a neighbour- I'm now going to recommend it to my other neighbours. Thank you & see you again soon....

I have visited this venue before, my latest being today, 28th of February, a group of 5 who had just completed an 8+ mile walk, tired hungry and thirsty. A cracking place serving great unfussy food in a sociable and informal setting. Despite being extremely busy the service was prompt and unhurried. Recommended.

Good food competitively priced, popular location. As it was formerly a station which is still in use you could go by train and enjoy a few drinks as well. Real Ale brewing on the premises

Visited for a Sunday lunch booking, for a family members birthday. We booked in at midday, glad we did, as the place was full by 1pm - clearly very popular. The food was excellent. A very varied menu, even on a Sunday. A few of us had the roast beef, it was a great Sunday roast with all the trimmings. Some of the others with us had chosen dishes off the main menu, and they all looked lovely. We had a gluten free member of the family with us, and they had several good meal choices available to them. The service was excellent, even though it was very busy, the staff were in full control of what they were doing. A big shout out to the kitchen team, with so many food orders going into that kitchen, they are clearly well organised and well prepped. The beer on offer was good too, some lovely hartlebury brewery beers. Will definitely be returning to the Tap House!!

Lovely place wonderful home cooked food

Great pub really good food & service a little bit price's but as they say pay for what you get and food was really nice. I feel that there could be better lighting found it very dull and dark in there plus I think they need to make the food special bored and desert bored a lot better to read and write was unreadable on some of it. But over great food and nice time spent there...

Lovely food nice friendly staff Reasonable prices will definitely be back for more

Lovely pub. Really nice pleasant staff. Very dog friendly ( in bar only put plenty of room) restaurant through back. Really good food, special menu for lunch My favourite the roast dinner

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

First time here food great service very good would definitely come again. Better than expected. Well done 👍

Great belated birthday lunch today food is always amazing and let me choose something not on the menu. Many thanks

This was my first visit, and it won't be my last. Very pleasant establishment with a great selection of dishes, all of which are generous portions, cooked to perfection. What really pleased me was visiting somewhere that employs very hard working and friendly staff. This makes the dining experience even more enjoyable. Many thanks to all at the Tap House for a lovely evening

Since our last visit it changed dramatically. Dirty glass which was exchanged for the same dirty glass. When my partner went to pay the bill the girl on the till belched insisted his face, laughed and said oh it was the lemonade. Never go back again

Drinks only; good selection. The HPA was very good.

Very relaxed atmosphere in old station house lovely food at reasonable prices recommend 👌

Great selection of local beer and very friendly. Food was amazing and prices are amazing!

3rd time visiting the Tap House. It's 2.5 hours from home but our go to pub/restaurant for the area. Hubby and son love the Hartlebury Brewery ales which are available to take home too. Food is always beautiful and plentiful and the service is great. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good value meals with a lovely atmosphere.

Fabulous, great menu, party of four with plenty to drink less than £200 definitely recommend.

Warm friendly atmosphere. Great service and most of all good quality food at affordable prices

Great food as always, despite being busy.

We are local and visited for Sunday Lunch after a day out. Lunch was excellent, ditto to the service and friendliness of the staff. Great value for money and tasty. We will be back. Remember to book as busy. 🎄🎄🎅🏻🎅🏻

What a surprise... great atmosphere.. great staff ! Excellent food and quick service. Good selection of beers etc at sensible prices

Lovely steak in an old railway ticket room, brilliantly turned into a classy gastro restaurant. I had the Mexica steak which was smothered in Chilli Con Carne and jalapenos. Beautifully cooked and tasty to eat, with onion rings and salad too. Cheers we will be back 👍😊

Had Christmas meal. Starter (soup) was OK but not much of it. Main course not as good. Vegetables a bit soggy, stuffing bad and turkey seemed a bit greasy. My dessert of crumble however was excellent. Had coffees at end of meal and charged extra for milk! First time i have known that to happen. Service good. Overall have had better Christmas meals.

Christmas lunch for 6. Nothing to complain about. Everyone thought their meals were very nice...between us we experienced most on the menu. I had the lamb which was excellent. The place was full includinga number of locals which has to be a good sign! If you do not wish to drive there is a reasonable train service from Worcester direction or Birmingham with just a couple of minutes walk into the venue. Certainly worth booking.

What a lovely lunch we had for our slimming world Christmas party . Food very good staff amazing well done all xx

Visited for Sunday lunch following a recommendation from a friend and we weren't disappointed. We both picked the roast dinners that were served piping hot and were very tasty. The staff were great too, from the lady who served us at the bar, to the waitresses who brought our meals to the table. We will definitely be coming back!

Came back here for our 3rd visit, lovely meal for 6 of us, food was nice & hot when brought to us. Service staff were very polite & friendly. The place itself is very clean & well looked after. Lots of people dining today, which is always a sign of a good place to eat & drink. Will definitely be going again.

The food is good quality, the portion sizes are decent and so are the prices. The service is great. Thank you to the waitress for providing some entertainment to my son, he loved it!

Excellent food and excellent service , Ales brewed on site , could not fault it in any way . A querky venue tastefully converted from an old railway station.

Lovely few hours spent here Been here few times for drinks first time for lunch was busy but got nice table by window Food come piping hot and very tasty Will definitely be coming back and recommend

Regular visitor. Can't fault it. Best gastropub for miles around.

We received a friendly welcome - it was very busy. Our orders were taken pretty quickly. The starters came out in a reasonable time and were okay. The mains of which everyone ordered Sunday roasts, took ages to come and when they did were very average. The turkey was nice but the pork was dry and the beef was inedible it was so tough and was sent back. On telling the waitress the beef was inedible, she returned to say that the people that had the beef could have free desserts. The desserts were average and portions were small. The young team of serving staff were doing their best but the food was very average and we won't be rushing back.

Friendly staff, good food, and a great pint .. Off The Rails is my favourite..

Food was excellent, traditional home cooked pub grub

First time visit as a party of 6 for Sunday lunch, no tables available in restaurant so we were seated in the bar area, which was clean and very pleasant. The staff were very friendly. There was plenty of choice on the Sunday menu, unlike a lot of places which only offer a roast dinner and one or two alternatives. Food arrived without too much of a wait, it was well presented and hot, everyone was happy with their choice. This pub is a rare find, prices are very reasonable for both food and drink, there is plenty of car park space, and they have a heated marquee area for extra seating if the inside is fully booked. Definitely worth another visit if we return to the area.

Highly recommend The Tap House pre booking guarantees a table as drop ins are not guaranteed.

Very disappointed with the service and food. We’ve eaten here many times in the past and been happy, but on this occasion food was poor, not hot and everything was over cooked. Meat was tough. When asked by a member of staff when she eventually collected our plates, was everything ok? I replied not up to the usual standard and not very warm I got ignored. It was a shame because we’d booked to take my elderly parents as a treat as both are in very poor health and it was a huge let down to be honest. Not sure I’ll return anytime soon, & that’s a shame. Not sure what’s changed here but standards are definitely not as good as in the past.

Lovely restaurant. Unpretentious, relaxed with quality food, an interesting menu, all beautifully cooked. The only problem was the bread with the Wild Boar Terrine was burnt which has knocked a star off. We'll definitely go back.

Wonderful food, and the service was exemplary. I shall definitely be returning. I spent £50+ pounds, but that included wine and dessert.

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

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

Lovely food been here a lot always good

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.

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..
