Liked: 1 Location near the Malvern Hills is great – easy to access the walks. 2 Site is nice and small and quiet (on a Monday anyway!), good for a rest after long days hiking. 3 Reasonably priced. 4 Flat pitches. 5 Good fish and chips available in town nearby. 6 Nice little area to chuck a frisbee or play Kubb in the middle of the site
Disliked: 1 No one available to meet us, which is fine, but there's a slightly aggressive sign warning not to use the wrong pitch, but no way of knowing what is the right pitch – the sign said we'd been advised in our confirmation email, but we hadn't. Another group of campers arrived at same time as us and had same problem. Not a very big deal, but when the whole point of the camp site was for us to relax after a long day's hiking in the hills, we just wanted to put up the tent and rest! No one answered the landline given on the sign. Eventually we found a mobile number posted elsewhere on the site, but by then we'd just taken our chances and pitched, same as our neighbours with same problem. No one ever came along to check! This gave the whole stay a slightly inhospitable feel, which is a shame. 2 Wash room / loo facilities on the tired side. They're just the same facilities as used for the pub, which felt a little exposing! Just about did the job, have experienced worse and better (decided against a shower though). Water was cold for all washing and washing up. 3 Pub was closed (closed on a Monday). As the campsite is part of the pub, that was a shame as we'd hoped to get our dinner there and a nice draught beer. Wish we'd known ahead of time; nothing mentioned on the pitchup info we received. (Plus side – probably meant much quieter night, as you're camping right next to the beer garden, so if it had been lively, it would have been noisy. Don't think that would matter as long as you know what you're getting.) If we'd booked direct with pub they might have provided more info on this. 4 Completely surrounded by tall trees, so no views of anything in particular. (Didn't matter as we'd had amazing views all day!) Lost the sun completely by about...

Topdraw stuff. I'll start by saying the staff were faultless, very accommodating we wanted to move tables as one free'd up in the corner. They moved us without a grumble, the girl serving us was very helpful and came with a smile each time perfect service in my opinion. Now the good stuff. If you like authentic, proper id call it home style curry how it should be done then this is a great place to eat. This is not your typical overly sweet creamy western version curry's you'd be used to just anywhere. Beautiful location in malvern, the pub is nice and cosy with seating all around and plenty outside too, oh and dogs welcome which i love (didnt have ours with us). To start off we had the tikka potato croquettes which ive never had, these where crispy and tasty with authentic, not overly sweet sauces the usual yoghurt mint and a tamarind chutney proper. We also had the tandoori fish which again was beautiful, crispy and battered to perfection also fresh. I always get the fish for comparison to other restaurants and this trumped them. We also had the Lamb rolls which I've never had before again these where very crispy spring roll like things which tasted amazing. For mains had punjabi style 12hr stewed leg of lamb (cant remember the name) this was mine had the heat but all them beautiful traditional spices and that fenugeek 💪 we also had the Keralan coconut lamb for the mrs. This was beautiful too, creamy, perfectly spiced and the lamb was absoloute perfect. For sides we had a tandoori naan and the gunpowder fries which where great. We went here 19th August 2023. Dining for 2, 3 starters, 2 mains, 2 sides. 80 quid which is great value for what we experienced. ❤️🙌 I didn't take photos and now wish we did. Portion size was perfect had a little to take home so I get to taste them again tonight 😎 highly recommend this one and we will most definitely be back.
Get that samosa chaat on the menu sir 🙏🤪
We didn't camp here although I would after eating their food. I'd camp in the toilet if I...
