Hadn’t been for sometime, not for any reason, just busy. Went last week for dinner with my wife and daughter, we were made very welcome. We all had a very delicious meal with a lovely bottle of white wine. The service was great and we’re...heading back this Easter weekend.More

I wanted to love this place, but the owners manner was strange throughout, the vibes were off, and the veggie roast was not good. Positives first: it's in a beautiful spot, a historic pub right next to the most stunning walks along the Malvern Hills,...lovely views, small beer garden facing south for the summer, roaring log fires for winter and a cosy, rustic interior with board games in the bar. However, the trouble started when we walked into the bar and said we'd made a reservation for two (with all the reviews glowing about dog-friendliness). Bear in mind our single dog is tiny, very used to busy restaurants, and never allowed to cause trouble. The landlord was NOT pleased to see him and declared half the pub was out of bounds to us. "oh, I should have mentioned having a dog on the phone, I will next time" I smiled, hoping to defuse the situation. YES YOU SHOULD HAVE, came the glowering response; a strange way to treat a brand new customer. No matter - he found us a table in the smaller, dog-friendly bar area. Not that we'd know, as we were told to sit down first at a truly tiny bar table, around mid-calf height. He then dropped off some menus and disappeared without a word, leading the landlady to ask from over the bar: "Are you fussy drinkers or do you know what you want? We need to know before 2:30." It wasn't clear if they'd stop serving food, alcohol, or what within the remaining 10 minutes. I enquired as to the ciders. Stowford or nothing. A shame for an area with so many good ciders, but no matter, two of those please. She overheard us saying 'well the reviews did say very dog friendly' and replied "We are but you have to go in the bottom section." As if to prove it, she brought some treats over for our dog, and then the landlord came back. "She's let that fire die down", he declared, putting a single cold log onto an unlit hearth without a hint of embers or having been used recently. Unsurprisingly, it stayed unlit. He disappeared again to fiddle with the wood stove in the next room, moving some other guests on a bench around to get some wood. We wondered if we'd be able to have the empty table for two next to the stove. "No, your table's the other side of that room", he declared. Is it ready for us to move to?... we wondered aloud, before he replied YES as if we were thick. Finally seated, the food came quickly and I had high hopes, with clearly marked vegetarian and vegan options throughout. It was a stuffed butternut squash roast which sounded delicious. Unfortunately the execution was... not good. The butternut had been simply cut in half, without any of the pulp or seeds scraped out like you normally would, and the 'stuffing' turned out to be a very thin garnish. It was also under-roasted to the point of being quite chewy. At this point the landlord comes to ask if everything is okay, and we said it was fine. He then starts talking to the (until now quiet!) dog in a funny voice and staring him down, which really scares him. Not taking upset barking at a stranger for a no, he continues with this a lot longer than I would have. I paid, left a decent tip for the younger staff who were all lovely, and left, unlikely to return.More

Really lovely Sunday roast. Excellently cooked (rare) roast beef at amazing value. Wonderful friendly atmosphere. Nice country vibe with a few locals and dogs present.

What a great pub. Perfect cosy atmosphere- a pub how pubs should be. Brilliant beer and 1st class food - pub classics as well as some more imaginative food - all well prepared. Wood fire was lovely and dogs made to feel welcome. Extra marks...for the ladies’ loo being warm (they often aren’t!) Highly recommended.More

We happened on this wonderful gem of a pub by chance. We had been walking all round Eastnor Castle on the first lovely Saturday of the New Year and decided to celebrate with a traditional pub lunch. Drove a ‘solid’ couple of miles up the...road to The Wellington Inn to find a delightful welcome, lovely fire and delicious food and beer. The dog even got a biscuit and water on tap; terrific. The perfect end to a perfect morning. It was also fantastic value. We will certainly be returning and cannot recommend more highly!More

Went to this pub twelve months ago and thought how good it was. Returned last night and was so pleased to say it was just as good. Great starter, main and great desert. Yes, had all three and loved them all. Lovely atmosphere, great staff...and the drinks were good too, but driving so could only have a couple.More

Lunch with family was excellent. This is a lovely, cosy, old-fashioned pub with a great atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. The food was well-presented, deliciously tasting and good value for money. My wife is Gluten Free but this did not cause any problem. I can...certainly recommend the prawn starter and the pie of the day. The portion sizes were certainly ample; unfortunately, no room for a dessert.More

This pub is quite a find. It is situated at the foot of the Malverns and has lovely views over Herefordshire countryside, which can be enjoyed from the garden and outside tables. There's an extensive menu with lots of daily specials, that takes it well...beyond pub classics to some interesting tastes. Everything is well cooked and well presented, and portions are not small so it's ideal after a day tramping the hills. The beer is good, there are some interesting and good value wines, and the landlord is very welcoming - just a shame it's not our local!More

We sat outside to eat, and although the road can be a bit noisy, it was worth it for the views. The food was lovely, and there were several specials added to the daily menu, which all sounded good. Well worth a visit.
