We didn’t eat so I cannot add a review for that, but the beer options were great and the reception we had at the bar and indeed from the staff around the beer garden was spot on, lovely place and a lovely view too!

Been wanting to visit here for ages and chose a quiet Monday afternoon to drop by. Really nice pub with plenty of seating in the bar, restaurant, marquee or outside. Every member of staff we saw spoke to us and was polite and the sever was really genuine. Got our order correct also. Drinks tasted delicious (maybe because it was my first whisky in a year since giving birth). The food came and was superb. Nicely presented, fresh and REALLY tasty. We just had a sharing platter and some small plates to test it out and was not disappointed at all. I drive past here regularly and will certainly be back soon

We went to the Why Not for the first time on Sunday, 6 August and were extremely impressed. The food was great, very reasonably priced and we had first class customer service from James and his colleagues. Highly recommended!

This is the third time of visiting, (belated farther day lunch) and I was very impressed. The previous two occasions I have had the amazing ploughman's lunch....outstanding value and difficult to finish! Great variety, lovely fresh carved ham although I would rather swap the pork pie (you already get a sausage roll) for a slightly bigger cheese portion TBH. Beer is fab...Timothy Taylor, Wye Valley HPA and my favourite Purity Gold....with many others as well. Anyway, lunch last Saturday was an amazing pork chop, with smashed potatoes with chorizo and brocoli. Great churos and Nutella cream to finish with a great coffee!! Definitely a place to revisit again and again! Great walks along the ridge and down to Alcester for those who want to make a day of it, or just sit and admire the endless views from the garden......or smart interior if its raining 🌧 😀!

Absolutely beautiful food! Service was top notch too. I had the wild mushroom risotto - it was delicious, I also had eyes bigger than my belly and had cheesy garlic bread (which the staff very kindly put in a take away box for me to take home)! For pudding we shared an oreo cheesecake which was lovely too! 😍 110% recommend.

Thunderbolts and lightning 🌩 I booked the marquee for my 50th birthday party thinking it would be fabulous July weather, lovely and hot. Literally as I set foot in the pub there was a massive thunder crack and lightning, plus torrential rain; no lights, no tills, no power and no Internet, you couldn't make it up 😆 The staff were amazing, they kept everyone informed of what was happening and the situation in the kitchen - 38 guests were fed and watered without hardly any delays. The entire staff team were brilliant- pleasant, polite, helpful and calm under the madness at the start of the evening. The food was good. The marquee was a great space. All in all it was a great night - thank you Why Not Team Xxxx

Fantastic food and service. Food was fresh and everything was delicious. Our waitress was great, really polite and friendly. Picked this place as a 'random new place to try' but will definitely be returning after such a great meal.
