I thought that the meals were somewhat over elaborate and to me a little over priced. having said this, I have friends who think it's great, so perhaps you should try it and make your own mind up. The building is certainly atractive enough, being an old black and white, timber beamed place.

Stop that sniggering. Yes it's really called that…read more Got that out of your system? Good. Lets continue. A nice place that is opposite where my in-laws live. I'm surprised we've not been here more before now. Organising a meetup in Droitwich, my husbands home town, I asked we go here instead of our usual haunt, more for convenience that anything else. And it was a good call. We settled ourselves out in the beer garden as it was a really pleasant sunny day, even at 17:00 it was still warm. We started with some pies and cider - they stock Pie Minister pies too, which is always a nice bonus. You can't really go wrong with a Pie Minister pie. A few more ciders in the beer garden and then we moved inside where we completed a very pleasant evening. The decor is typical English pub, with a genuine Tudor flavour. Facilities a little dated, but very clean. Staff were all nice young folk, who were very prompt when it came to bringing your food and serving you at the bar. Recommended.

Secondly as a group of 17 and finally just the two of us. Each time was memorable. Excellent food, friendly and interested staff who could not have been more helpful.

Three of us arrived 15 minutes early, and not a problem. Shown to our table, and left with the food menus amd wine menu. Our friend chose the wine, and I had a lager shandy. Friend and my wife had a double gin and tonic and large glass of pinot grigio, respectively. When the bottle of wine turned up, it came with one of those containers that are supposed to keep the wine cooled. My friend asked for a wine bucket with ice and water. No problem said the waiter. Appeared back almost immediately. Service was good and atttentive. Drinks: Gordons Gin (double) - 5.80 Pinot Grigio (250ml) - 7.60 2 x Amstel shandies - 9.60 1 x brandy for the Affogato - 3.90 Fevetree Tonic Water - 2.80 Starters: 2 x Mushrooms with blue cheese - 16.50 Tacos for me, but can't remember what it said about them - 7.95 All of enjoy them. Mains: 2 x Lamb - 35.90 1 x beef - 17.95 They came roast potatoes, butter mashed potatoes, carrots, brocolli, and cauliflower. All cooked perfectly, and on a separate dish for us to help ourselves. We never managed to polish them off. Friend request extra gravy and it was there in an instant. Sweets: Sticky toffee pudding - 5.25 Affocatto (with the added brandy above, in a separate glass an espresso coffee and vanilla ice cream - 5.25 Friend had an Americano coffee - 3.10 Added £10 to the bill for the service. Had a really good time, with a little banter with the waiting staff. Clearly we'll definitely return.

Not going to lie, I was disappointed with this place. The people who referred us to the restaurant…read moreare regular foodies and have great taste, so I suppose you could say that I had high expectations. It was good that we booked ahead, as the place was packed. The menu was relatively strange, with an odd selection of dishes. All the food was pretty heavy and with few to none light, starter dishes. It took our food nearly an hour to come out. Good thing I opted to share a main with someone as the portions here are ridiculously large. Even split in half, neither of us could finish our dishes. Our dessert was pretty "meh." we ordered the lemon curd "yogurt" and berries, but the yogurt was more of a cream consistency. Definitely nothing to rave about. Also, it was so hot in this pub, we all had to leave for a breath of fresh air at some point. Don't get me wrong, I love the whole "cozy" feeling, but we were absolutely roasting.

Without any hesitation I'll state that I had the best burger of my life here, the Bull Burger! A…read moresubstantial burger in itself accompanied with fries. What stood out most was the quality of the beef, the most tender, succulent cut of ground meat you can ever hope for, and grilled to perfection. I don't get overly excited about burgers, but this was the apex and I thought I had died and gone to burger heaven. All this is a very charming, tasteful pub in the Cotswolds countryside. Comfortable, cozy and oh so pleasant. We came for lunch just after noon at seated in the restaurant. We were given a choice of that or the pub/bar section. I washed it down with a pint of Cotswold Pale Ale... a great choice with the lunch. Service was professional, friendly and fun. They were very engaged and thoughtful and I highly recommend going out of your way to visit and enjoy this establishment.

When I told everyone I was going to Worcester for the weekend from Edinburgh, I got a whole lot of…read more"WHY?"s. Well, here's one reason. Jerk. The outdoor seating at The Firefly... on an evening in England where the day had been 26 degrees (got Celsius!) made me think that maybe, just maybe, if all of England was perfect like this everyday they would still rule the world. The colonies would want to be owned again (sans slavery and oppression etc.). But I digress, that shit will never happen... so we need to ignore this ideal of a perfect England, and just take the pub as a perfect pub. Reasons for perfection: (see photos) The front room: fireplace, antique chandelier, old tyme-y lampshades, big red velvet couches, a moose head over the fireplace and ARE YOU F**KING SERIOUS - Brooklyn Lager. My favorite beer in the world. And I know I am an exaggerator, and I know I say "my favorite (insert something here) ever" all the time. But for real, this is the greatest tasting lager of the entirety of the history of beer (in my humble opinion). The downstairs: Apparently they have bands down here, they didn't this night... but it was a proper looking porn-like lounge area with giant sofas and a good looking stage where you could definitely see some mediocre bands up really close before they sell out. Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, the bands play outside. Yes, I said it. The MFing outdoor garden: I have this friend, his name is Jack Johnson, maybe you've heard of him. Maybe (probably) you're sick of him because most of his songs sound alike. It's also pretty likely that you'd give anything for his life, I know I would. If I had minimal talent like him I would totally move to Hawaii, surf and sing songs about making pancakes for girls and playing my guitar all day while working on my tan in a hammock. But again, I digress - why don't you guys stop me when I do that? - The garden here looks like an old fashioned surf lounge where guys with long hair (rebels!) and tattoos (scandal!) sit with beers and talk about waves. Jack, would fit in here... and I could even stand to listen to Banana Pancakes (once, just once) while I am sitting on the couches with my feet up next to the lanterns LOVING my totally chill life. Worcester is a two thumbs up all you naysayers! So there.
