The best restaurants in Bowbrook Wychavon West Midlands

Our group of 10 people from a “Cake Club” had a really enjoyable afternoon tea and canal boat trip on 19 June. Andy and Caroline were very friendly hosts. The afternoon tea was delicious. The food was fresh, tasty and varied. Caroline was an excellent host….attentive but not intrusive. The canal boat trip was delightful. We journeyed effortlessly from Dunhampstead to just past Hanbury Wharf and back, which is an interesting and peaceful section of the Birmingham to Worcester canal. It included going through Dunhampstead Tunnel. Andy and Caroline rolled up the “windows” before we set out, as it was a sunny afternoon. We felt close to nature and were fortunate to see a family of swans and a heron, as well as ducks and moor hens in the reed beds. We all really enjoyed the trip and would certainly recommend it.

Did not enjoy my Sunday’s lunch at all, service was very cold, food was below average, roast potatoes were terrible, not fresh at all and not crispy, veggies tasteless, asked for a glass of champagne £12 and received only a quarter of a glass it looked ridiculous, coffee were served cold.Overall it did not taste fresh. Will not be returning.

Visited the Bridge on Sunday after a lovely walk with the dog. Fortunately, we found the Bridge has now been taken over by new owners (after the previous landlord was awful, consistently failed to deliver any quality or customer service). However, the new owners are a breath of fresh air. Friendly, polite, professional and genuinely care. Outstanding customer service and really lovely food. Proper pub food too. Highly recommend this place plus it's actually dog friendly! Thanks for taking over the Bridge fellas and turning it back into what a real pub should be. Exceptional work 👍 Richard, Sarah and Phyllis

Superb venue for a recent family funeral wake. Harriett went above and beyond to make us feel at ease and extremely welcome. Highly recommend you give these great people serious consideration for hosting.

It is a lovely traditional plant nursery with very keen prices, and the plants are well cared for. The tea room is lovely, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Very good value, with a good pot of quality tea and a generous slice of cake. Will return.

The staff are really friendly and helpful, the cake / sandwiches are lovely and fresh. It's a very pleasant environment to sit and have a snack (indoors or out) and is heavily used by lots of local cycling groups. My only suggestion for improvement would be glad ketchup / sauce bottles instead of the dreaded single use plastic sachets! I look forward to returning to see if these eco-friendly guilt free condiments appear!

A very welcome pub its well worth going

Great pub with great locals and really nice friendly bar staff and landlord....I spent a week in Arley and they were all very welcoming to me....I look forward to my return soon.....

Lovely afternoon tea, everything was fresh and delicious. Would definitely have this experience again. Staff welcoming and attentive.
