user reviews of the Galton Arms, Himbleton

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

17th century timber framed building with mid-19th century alterations and additions. Not sure what would qualify as a good range of ales for this part of rural Worcestershire but it didn't disappoint me given that this is the only pub selling Batham's Bitter for miles around and in superb condition too! Wye Valley HPA and Bank's Amber Bitter were also on handpull. The pub also has more than one dining area. On bank holidays they only sell ciabatta rolls which were good value although a little basic. A nice find.

A busy pub with a reasonably small bar area and another small dining area. For some reason, the garden was also busy with families and a couple of small horses grazing. I thought I'd had one too many, when I first spotted the nags. The ale range was a bit disappointing - Bathams Bitter, Banks's Bitter, St Austell Tribute & Wye Valley HPA. No real cider. But they do have Robinsons Flagon. Nice location. But was somehow missing something.

Great pub with absolutely top class Bathams on offer! We called in on a bike ride at around 3pm on Sunday and they were still doing a roaring trade, unfortunately we had to get back to Worcester before dark so only stayed for one. Didnt eat but food looked good.

Tried this on the strength of the reviews. Its pretty but, despite being a country pub and having a tiled bar area - no dogs. That lost them �40 worth of business and no return visits.

We went to the Chequers for lunch and then The Bridge down the road after a canal walk.

Well let me tell you this... My name is McNally and my Grandad went to this pub for years. He knew everyone and he used to play the piano there.
In them days everyone new the McNally's as they were regulars who enjoyed the pub as much as the locals. It has alot of history the Galton Arms with my family. My father and his brothers used to ride on motorbikes from Birmingham in the 60's and 70's.
When i was young my dad said 'we are goin out to the country'. I remember when i was about 15 havin a coke with ice in the carpark while my dad was busy chatting to the locals and talking about the characters his father knew. At that time when he asked many had gone.
When i was 18, that was the last time i visited it with my father. Now im older i will go and see if anything has changed and if anyone remembers the name McNally.

We went to this pub after reading the revue in the evening news and found it served a fantastic pint of Bathams.
In the quaint restaurant adjacent to the bar we ate off the specials board.
My wife had fillet steak cooked in rosemary and balsamic and homemade chips (�11.50!) and I had the steak and ale pie. Both dishes were outstanding value for money and absolutely delicious. The lady serving us was charming and efficient.
We are now regulars!

Proper old fashioned country pub. You can eat there, but really it's a stand at the bar & drink sort of place. Quite small inside and not much seating; log fire in corner and sky tv on Sunday lunchtime for the football. Regulars/locals are loud and not too welcoming [but not malicious; just not concerned about you]. Pub has a front garden for warm evenings. They keep a good pint of Bathams, Pedigree and Banks's on draft.
