Good Beer Guide 2019 Entry.
The bar is a good approximation of a pub - with nick nacky decorations, collections of Good Beer Guides, rules of the tavern posters etc.
Horseshoe bar with high stools all around. Wooden tables with 4 wooden seats. Big windows overlooking the road.
Five real ales on - I can remember HPA, Malvern Hills Brewery Bitter and Hopback Summer Lightening (chosen). In decent condition.

Old fashioned delightful hotel. Previously frequented by theatrical types I believe. Would like to make fair assessment of the beer but after a very long drinking day fail to recall what I had. It seemed jolly good at the time. Music reverberated throughout the bar, not really noisy but considerable vibration bothered me not at all.

Recently stayed here for a few days. Friendly staff, good bar (Malvern Hills Black Pear was superb) also selling Bass, the ubiquitous Doom Bar and a Kinver beer. Very good food also. Music on over the weekend, good but loud (to an oldie like me). This place is a complete antidote to soulless identikit chain hotels, and all the better for it.
|
Friendly hotel bar serving 3 ales from Malvern Hills Brewery and Bass. Also serves food. Live music sometimes on offer with a late finish.
|
It wouldn't be fair of me to rate the pub as I haven't had a drink there for over five years. However they serve an excellent (if a little pricey) breakfast so you can sometimes find the wife and I there Sunday morning eitehr before or after taking the dogs for a walk on the Malverns.
|
Comfortable hotel bar that is also popular with local residents. Real ales available.
|
Good pint in here, friendly staff and landlord. If you need to eat the food always looks great and have never heard a complaint about it.
Beer changes but always of the highest quality
|
Have also noticed landlord's strange manner toward elderly lady, but it turns out they're related. Handsome devil though. Personally I prefer the outside area as it affords splendid views. The food is delicious, but you can comfortably just enjoy a drink and a chat and there is a no-smoking zone too.
|
I regularly pop in to the Great Malvern Hotel bar for a drink when I am in the area. Always been impressed by the excellent real ales and also the convivial atmosphere and great customer service - bit baffled by the comments about the landlord, always found him to be charming.
|
Good pint, but expensive. Smokey atmosphere. Landlord/barman? rude to elderly lady in my opinion. Needs a course on customer relations.
|
They do a good pint in here, but the landlord's manner leaves rather a lot to be desired. If you're just in there for a pint rather than to eat he seems to regard you as some sort of inferior species. Personally I prefer to give my money to the The Nag's Head down the road.
|
This is a great place to drink and eat, especially the outside area. Often go hill walking and this place is perfect for relaxing afterwards.

Popped in for an excellent sandwich and a quick pint (or two)
before attacking the Worcesteshire Beacon.
