  • Small site in the grounds of a Callow End traditional village pub
  • A 15-minute drive from the Malvern Hills and Worcester
  • Large beer garden with outdoor tables, play area and chickens
For those couples/travelling parties that frequently face disagreement over whose turn it is to be designated driver, there’s really only one sensible solution: bed down right there at the pub. Dozing off at the bar might be considered a little unseemly, so The Old Bush’s owners Matt and Karen have come up with a better solution and set up pitches in the garden area behind their rural Worcestershire pub. Thus guests can partake of dinners accompanied by a few local ales/ciders before strolling home (to a peaceful corner with drinking water, showers and 24-hour toilets) in just a couple of minutes – how civilised. In fact, the whole setup here is rather civilised: The Old Bush is a traditional country pub in the little village of Callow End, with food available at lunch and dinner times, plus a menu of mini meals for smaller guests. On warmer days the merriment spills out into the garden, where there’s a play area, an aviary and a little flock of chickens along with plenty of tables for open-air drinking, dining and admiring the views over the Malvern hills. Of course, one can’t sit around in the pub all day (well, maybe not every day, anyway…), so it’s worth noting that this is also a handy location for walks, horse riding, games of golf, fishing and days out in Worcester and Malvern (both 15 minutes away by car). Handily, if you do ‘accidentally’ sup one too many at lunchtime there’s a bus stop in the village so you can still get out and about.

What customers say

A friendly, well-kept spot next to a proper pub. Clean loos, roomy pitches, great grub from the pub and cafe. Views get a thumbs-up, and the aviary's a cool touch. A bit of a slope to get in, and pub garden noise sometimes, but most reckon it's top and they'll be back!

Electric optional gravel motorhome pitch

Liked The site was lovely with good clean facilities, we received a warm welcome and told to pick whichever pitch we fancied. The site is on a slope so you may need levelling blocks but the views are well worth it. We ate in the pub both nights and the food was lovely with a good Gluten Free selection which was good as one of our party is coeliac. The service was good but on the second night it was excellent with a really friendly polite and attentive young man serving our food. Nothing was too much trouble, he was lovely. Highly recommend 😊
There is also a cafe on site where we had a great breakfast. There’s also a lovely aviary of different birds which I loved.

Electric optional gravel motorhome pitch

Liked The pub boss and his barman and two of his customers were extremely helpful when our motorhome got stuck in gravel(it was my first day driving it!), they did not hesitate to get me out of a terrible fix! The scampi from the pubs restaurant was gorgeous and plentiful, there was a friendly atmosphere, and the locals were very welcoming

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

Work up an appetite for that pub dinner and drinks with walks through grassland, heath and woods in the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty (15 minutes’ drive). You can also wander with woolly company from Simply Alpaca (25 minutes), play games of golf (10 minutes) or saddle up for horseback hacks (10 minutes’ walk). Guests with an eye for greenery may like to schedule outings to some of the area’s fine gardens: Spetchley Park Gardens (15 minutes) and Showborough House sculpture garden (20 minutes) are both worth a stop, as are the walled gardens at the National Trust’s Croome Court (20 minutes). It’s also worth taking a wander around Worcester (15 minutes) to visit the cathedral and Elgar Birthplace Museum, or to settle down for lengthy day watching the wickets at Worcestershire County Cricket Ground. Upton upon Severn (10 minutes) and Malvern (15 minutes) are other local options for town days.
