The Huntsman Inn is a traditional pub located in Kempsey, a village that sits conveniently between Worcester and the Malvern Hills, making it a practical stop as you explore this part of England.
This is the kind of place that's woven into village life, where you'll find locals alongside visitors, all sharing the same relaxed, sociable atmosphere.
You can come in for a full meal or just a drink—there's no pressure either way. The pub doesn't try to be anything it's not. It remains unpolished and genuinely welcoming, functioning as a real community hub rather than somewhere that feels put on for tourists. That authenticity is part of what makes it worth visiting.
Though Kempsey technically falls just outside the official Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty boundary, it's ideally positioned for exploring the region. Worcester lies to the south and is easy to reach, while the Malvern Hills are within reach to the west. If you're moving between these attractions or simply need a comfortable break somewhere that feels like the real thing, this pub delivers. You'll get good food, a decent drink, and a genuine sense of how people in these villages actually spend their time.
