The Lenchford Riverside Inn

Our room was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. Nice toiletries in the bathroom with extras like sanitary towels, cotton buds and cotton wool. A good selection of teas and coffees and a coffee maker. The bed was huge and really comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The vegetarian curry we had was delicious and the breakfast outstanding. Exceptional value for money. Lovely views of the river and lots of wildlife around. I would have given five stars but the decor could do with a refresh and it was a bit chilly, especially in the restaurant.

We went to eat there as a family of four. 3 adults and one child. The food was outstanding and an amazing menu for meals and dessert. The child’s menu was also amazing with choices on it rather than the usual nuggets and chips. Size of meals was excellent including the child’s food. We booked for the following week and will also be taking the parents.

Had £1.00 an ounce steak. Very good, nice side dishes. Very inviting setting, with log burner blazing. Friendly, attentive staff. Just amazed how quiet on a Friday night with such a good price & quality food.

Stopped here for a break while travelling on the M5. Scenic location beside the River Severn in a very quiet and peaceful spot outside the village. Plenty of parking space. The room was attractive (with a balcony running the length of the building and with outside furniture) and spacious with decent quality fittings however it smelt rather musty and damp (due to the proximity of the river perhaps?). Clean with good amenities including a Nespresso machine. However the bathroom was desperately outdated and depressing. All fittings in a state of slight disrepair. The entire building shows its age and sadly its lack of decent upkeep. However we were warmly welcomed by the very friendly staff and the price we paid meant it was decent value for money. Dinner and breakfast menus offered plenty of choice in the large riverside restaurant. We enjoyed white bait as a starter and good ham egg and chips. Breakfast was varied and also good value. Homemade pancakes with crispy bacon and maple syrup and bacon and egg sandwiches were a tasty start to the day.

We are regulars at the Lenchford & booked in with our family for Christmas day. |It was their first time opening on Christmas day & you would not of known. |The whole duration went without a hitch. Staff a plenty & all very attentive. |Unfortunately I didnt take any photos of our food as we were too busy enjoying it & each other's company.|They'd hadn't crammed in extra tables to make more money. They really did concentrate on all parties. |We had a mixture of starters & puddings. Including a fussy child who wanted a plain starter & pudding, nothing was too much trouble. |Please dont be put off by recent negative reviews. We attend as a family often & have never had a bad meal nor service. |Thank you again to all the staff that worked hard for Christmas day.

Upon arrival I was worried as the outside of the Lenchford did not look overly appealing and looked a bit "motelesque". However, we needn't have worried as we were greeted warmly and shown to our rooms. We had booked 3 double and 1 twin room as we were a party of 8. The two first floor double rooms were clean, modern, spacious and had a very comfortable bed. The pillows were comfortable and the bedding felt of decent quality. The bathroom was relatively modern and little touches such as ear buds, cotton pads and sanitary products were nice to see. There was a balcony with furniture overlooking the river and although we didn't really utilise this as it was October, I can imagine in the summer it would be a lovely place to sit and enjoy a morning cuppa. ||Parking was in abundance. The surrounding area was quiet. The food in the pub was tasty, the pool table was a welcome surprise and the breakfast choices (which are included in the room price) were great! The rooms were cosy and warm and there was even an extra heater if you felt you needed it. All staff we encountered were excellent, friendly, attentive and amenable. ||There were a few small niggles, the bathrooms in the double and twin on the second floor were very dated which did not match the rooms modern vibe. There were quite a few cobwebs with dead spiders/bugs in them. It would have been nice to see these finer details thought of and cleaned. The outside balcony areas are in desperate need of a clean and repaint, the windows are also in desperate need of a clean. ||Overall, we had a lovely stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again if we were staying in the area again. The price for 2 nights and breakfast was excellent value for money.

Stopped here for old times sakes and was glad I did. Still as stunning as it was 15 years ago and bought back many a memory. ||Rooms are pretty standard, nice and cosy with a coffee machine within. Rooms have access to a terrace overlooking the river. We would have definitely taken advantage of a nice coffee overlooking the river in the morning, had it not been October! ||Evening meal was absolutely delicious and the breakfast that was included was wonderful. There is a full breakfast menu to choose from, which is unusual for a bed and breakfast. Plenty to choose from. ||Plenty of drink choice and I note people moaning about some beer prices being £7 a pint, and I was also a little shocked at first. But then, I think you need a bit of realism. Yes, it might be £1 or so more a pint than some locations but am I happy to spend that extra £1 to help keep the pub open? Absolutely. Far too many good pubs shutting down because they aren’t making money. It is what it is, enjoy it, as you’d miss it if it closed its doors. ||Only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars, is because we were told the bar was open until 11pm, any time after that you had to use a 24hr door to access the pub (if you went out). We were back for around 10pm, the pub was shut and we had no idea where the 24hr door was and was left wandering round trying to find it in the rain. ||Other than that small issue, I’d definitely recommend the bar and hotel. Staff were lovely, food was great, location is stunning.

I stayed for 2 nights in early September, with my wife, for a wedding which was a 5 minute drive away. The customer service was exceptional, from checking in to checking out. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The room was lovely, with a brilliant hot drink selection, the TV had streaming services and the bed was nice and comfortable. The only slight downside (but more of a talking point) was the fact the the shower had very poor water pressure and made it a bit challenging to have a proper wash. The view from the room, across the river and out across the fields/trees was also lovely. The breakfast was great, with lots of choice and drinks offered.

Nice club sandwich, the bacon and chicken was excellent. The chicken could have been in smaller pieces, perhaps sliced. But over all it was a very tasty club sandwich. The chips were nice too. The other people in my group enjoyed their main courses also. They had the beef lasagne, the steak and ale pie and the huntsman chicken. My sandwich and those mains were all great value also. A special mention for the starter from the board that we ordered for the table to share and not a good mention. Even if it was only 3.50 GBP, the dressed nachos with melted cheese and BBQ sauce was inedible. It was like a dish a student would serve up when they had the munchies and that's all they had in the cupboard. A star dropped for that. The starter being the only disappointment, we found the staff were very nice and helpful. The interior is your typical English pub which serves food: a little dated, but clean and comfortable. The tables outside by the Severn are very pleasant and recommended in the summertime.

The Lenchford Inn was always a fabled trip out with me and my parents. This place was magical to me as a child. A traditional English pub on the side of the River Seven, surrounded by trees and boats and other kids. My parents would buy some drinks and we would sit outside. I would wander off and explore, my parents would bask in the sun and watch the birds and boats go past. This place is just an amazing location to visit on a sunny day. We still occasionally go there when I am home. My parents are in there mid-70's now but it still brings back so many memories. The place hasn't changed much over the years. Its been kept in good nick and the current owners are very friendly. We did eat there and although not amazing it did fill the gap. It has what money can't buy for me. Good memories of times gone by.
