The Nag's Head in Malvern Hills

Staff were excellent and friendly, venue had a great atmosphere and the choice of ale and ciders was brilliant. The only thing that let it down a little was the food. It was nice, but I wasnt blown away with the rock hard yorkshires and the fried fish. We came later after the rush, so maybe got the leftovers? Good, just not great

We visited the restaurant for dinner. The food was excellent. I was really impressed by the vegan burger. Mostly at restaurants you get just a token gesture to a vegan option, such as the usual mushroom risotto, but the Nags Head had a really good choice and it was beautiful food. Really worth a visit.

Popular pub serving a good range of real ales and cider. Good quality fare backed by an extensive wine cellar, with descriptions of each vintage. Old world pub overlooking The Link Common.

We were staying in West Malvern just for the weekend, and booked a 3pm Sunday dinner slot at the Nag's Head. This pub had been recommended by our AirbnB hosts.Looks are deceiving to be very honest. The outside of the pub really doesn't do justice to it. Inside, we were welcomed and shown through to another room to our prebooked tableThe service was excellent, timely and friendly.All of our meals were top notch; pork roast, beef roast, lamb roast, and the vegetarian choice. Superb!And desserts, the apple crumble with cream (and custard) was to die for.Thankyou Nag's Head and Staff for making our Malvern break really great.And zero tolerance to profanities (swearing) - excellent! Great idea.

A real ale enthusiasts delight! A large choice always changing, always fresh... as it should be! Plenty of smiling staff, open fire, and traditional pub food with modern ideas and plenty of vegetarian dishes. 😀 Dreamy!

First time here, popped in for a quick drink whist visiting friends locally. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Good selection of beers.

I'd pre-booked table to entertain guests and we got there slightly ahead of our allotted time but although there was a sign talking about precautions (and a QR code to scan) there wasn't any directions where to go, so we strolled into the bar.The premises insists on masks (and all staff are masked up) but once seated, they can be removed - pop them back on to wander around when inside the building. We were shown our table which featured a specials board, and a drinks order was taken whilst we waited (there's a good range of beers, so we decided to spend the evening sampling most of them).My colleagues elected for the Herefordshire Beef, Mushroom & Ale Pie (standard menu), along with Belly Pork (off the specials board) and both came sitting atop a pile of creamed mash, surrounded by gravy. The belly pork has crispy skin - some good crackling - but required removing the layer of fat between that and the meat (well, it's belly pork - you'd expect that). The pie was rich and dense in meat, there was no scrimping on the filling here.Both dishes were accompanied by a small tureen of boiled veg - a nice mix of carrots, peas, cauliflower and broccoli - to round it off and made for a filling meal.I opted for the swordfish steak, which say atop a pile of tomato and onion risotto. I found the fish slightly overdone as the flesh was hard, but wasn't a problem to eat - and the risotto was nicely flavoured with herb oil and sweet tomatoes, although I could have done with less risotto and some veg to the side (other than rocket on top).Service was very engaging and although the dining area seemed quite popular, we didn't feel pressured to move, sitting there for a few more drinks.Eventually we shifted outside to continue working our way through the list of ales to free up the table - service here was a bit hit and miss as bar staff waited on tables to take orders but had no way of communicating it back to the bar so there were long delays whilst waiters walked around collecting orders, taking these to the bar to get fulfilled and eventually bringing trays laden with several orders out... there really needs to be some quicker ordering system, and each round had to be settled there and then rather than roll up a tab as we had when indoors.Nonetheless, was a great night out and I'd definitely return - there's quite a few meals that took my fancy.

I've always loved visiting The Nag's for drinks when I've been in Malvern, it has some great evening vibes and service has been consistently excellent, despite how busy it can often get - This is one popular spot!I keep forgetting there is a dining area so decided to give it a go on my last visit and the service was just as exceptional, very good value for money and food was great, not to mention how timely it was served. Highly recommend booking ahead if dining as they did say they were fully booked but fortunately they were kindly able to squeeze us in!It can get crammed inside when busy but there's plenty of heated outdoor seating too. Craft beer usually available on tap as well as plenty of cask ales, always been a small selection of craft in the fridges too. I'm constantly looking forward to my next visit to Malvern knowing I'll end up here. 😁

We stopped at this place on our way back from London and we were pleasantly surprised at the warm welcome we were given, promptly shown to our table and took our drinks order immediately. To be fair, this bit felt a little rushed as I hadn't had a change to see what ales they had... Anyway, no problem really. All meals came out quickly, hot and cooked nicely. Their cheeseburger was delicious, rather messy but delicious. I don't have a picture of it but their "white" chocolate fudge brownie that my wife ordered was questionable. It didn't look or taste anything like a brownie but tasted rather nice, whatever it was meant to be.Anyway, the pub was large, everything spaced out and every section appeared to attract different types of people. I don't know if that's what they were going for but everyone seemed to fit where they were sitting. That may sound strange but if you're ever passing through for lunch, I recommend this pub and take a look around, see if you notice it.

Wonderful traditional pub with dining room and beer garden. Great COVID measures in place. Excellent chef with hearty portions and can handle dietary requirements.The Chicken schnitzel was amazing and the burger was spectacular!Really lovely friendly staff from calling to reserve to service throughout.You need a mask to use the bathrooms and when you walk around but not when seated and eating/drinking.
