The Why Not Inn - Astwood Bank

The staff couldn't do enough for us. Service was speedy and extremely pleasant, and nothing was too much trouble for them. To top it off the food was top notch. A great time had by our party and would not have any issues of having a return visit.

Service was pleasant but the food was disappointing. Salad was soggy and flavourless, koftas full of gristle bits, “oregano fries” means a bowl of chips with dried oregano sprinkled on top. Flatbread was nice. Lovely view from the marquee but I think I’ll stick to drinks if I come back.

After visiting the why not on a few occasions, tonight was disappointing and it’s safe to say, we have been put off with tonight’s visit. The toilets were really not clean. The food was average and the portion and standard of the “smaller” chicken salad was quite frankly, appalling. The salad consisted of lettuce, a few bits of chicken and a couple of croutons at a cost of £8.50. It was not worth the money and wouldn’t fill a child, let alone an adult, sad to say we will not be returning again.

What a lovely pub! We were made to feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. Delicious food, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. We will be back.

lovely Sunday roast lunch, nice atmosphere,amazing view, highly recommended.

always a great experience here. wonderful staff and a cosy environment. food exceptional as ever. highly recommended.

I booked a table for 6.30pm for Father's day. On ordering we were told there were no pigs in blankets or stuffing left. Okay. So we ordered our roast dinners. When they finally came they were luke warm at best. I asked where the greens in butter were and a reply of "oh we don't have any left," The meal was okay. We ordered dessert. 2 of us had peach and summer fruit crumble. What we received was tinned peach and pear crumble with bland custard. The staff were lovely and we did receive a discount for the pudding but we won't be rushing back.

The burgers were incredible and service was so friendly! Lovely visit!

Lovely food and friendly staff, dog friendly would definitely recommend.

Really lovely Sunday lunch, the roast dinner was delicious. Superb service

Really enjoyed the food. Had the roast sandwich. Good portion sized. Meat was a tad fatty (but thats meat for you). Then had the brownie for desert. It was really thick, perfect texture. The service was 10/10, wasn’t waiting for anything, polite and happy staff. The scenery and sitting in the tent made the experience extra special. Will definitely we returning - I want to try some more food!!!

Amazing food and the staff were lovely as per usual. Definitely going to return

Lovely food and drinks ! Great service as always thanks

Young barman very nice, younger waiters polite, waitresss polite, food decent but older waiter was rude, abrasive and looked like everything was a chore and didn't want to serve or be there! Shame as The Why Not is a 4-5 times a year place we go to.. never met the older waiter before and hope not to again

Great food, very friendly and helpful staff, could even have taken the dog. Will definitely be going again!

Good service to begin with but when it came time to getting and paying the bill it was really so difficult as there didn’t seem to be anyone around

Superb friendly welcome, lovely atmosphere and tasty food, highly recommend.

Lovely pub and great menu choices. friendly and helpful staff.

Not good enough. Long wait and rude manager. Unimpressed with quality of food too

Staff were lovley and friendly. We ordered a pate starter which arrived with very limp lettuce and the pate had obviously been left out of the fridge as it was discoloured and dry. When I pointed this out it was exchanged Immediately. The Roast Beef was ok but the plate with vegetables was covered in lots of gravy. A shame as we only live down the road.

First class service and meal. Staff were polite and attentive

Food was lovely. Slow service once we tried to pay the bill though.

Really friendly and attentive service and delicious food. We booked for the 'magician', who I have to say was not good. Just seem to wind the children into a stupor with very limited (to say the least) magic. Would go back for the food and service.

Lovely meal , great surroundings and attentive staff. Thankyou all

Pleasant atmosphere, good food, lovely staff and easy to reserve a table

Disappointed with our meal on this occasion .We ordered the sharing platter which looked dried as if it had been kept warm for a long time and was only lukewarm to eat.

Lovely lunch under the marquee. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. View was wonderful. Very nice Prosecco too!

Food was delicious and staff were very good. beer garden is a treat with spectacular views

I’d love abit more music on to create more of an atmosphere

The food was good quality and excellent. The staff were very friendly.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Good food. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Very welcoming and a selection of tables offed on arrival, even though we were early. Service was good, seated with menus and cutlery and quickly served drinks, the kitchen was able to work with my daughters food requirements and well presented and well cooked food came to the table. My only moan is that the cutlery needs to be checked before handing it over. I would certainly recommend a visit!!

Great people great food great background music too You must try this place out Well worth the drive from Worcester

The service was very good and food delicious. Cold draught though every time front door opened

A most pleasant visit! The staff were very friendly and obliging, and the food was delicious. Will definitely come back 👍

2 items not available on menu Food ok Not much atmosphere

A really lovely evening with great food and friendly & helpful staff.

Good atmosphere, food was great with a good drinks selection. Prices have increased but I guess that is commonplace everywhere. Overall very impressed!

Great food, a friendly atmosphere and good value for money

Lovely almosphere great staff and lovely food. Curry was a bit greasy but the rest was brill!

Service was excellent. Food was very good and there was a friendly atmosphere. This was our first visit and we will definitely be coming again soon. Would recommend.

It's a nice pub with lovely views out at the back and, in the warmer weather, it would be wonderful to be able to sit out there and admire the view.

Overall service were good, however we ordered 'Sharing Platters' as starters but when we queried why they hadn't arrived we were told they were being held until all the mains were ready which made for a rather chaotic meal. Otherwise service was attentive and food quality good and well-presented.

Really nice and enjoyable meal and lovely staff, good price

It was a very sad day for us and the staff were lovely Thank you

Nice staff good food open fire lovely 😍 c u again

Great food although the beef was too tough to cut, all the other food items was amazing

Friendly staff, lovely Sunday roast! Shall be returning again soon!

Roast beef was cooked beautifully. Pub not too crowded. Pudding was a generous portion. Priced ok. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Friendly helpful staff, good food and dogs allowed in the bar area :)
