The Old Bush sits right in Kempsey village, a short drive south of Worcester, and serves as an excellent stopping point whether you're exploring the broader Cotswolds region, the Severn Valley, or heading towards the Malvern Hills.
Although Kempsey technically sits just outside the official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it's well positioned for anyone moving between Worcester and Great Malvern.
This is a traditional pub where locals come to relax with a drink and a meal, catching up with friends and swapping stories. Step inside and you'll notice the comfortable, unpretentious atmosphere straight away. The pub has served its community for generations, and that genuine character is evident the moment you arrive. You can order well-kept local ales or your drink of choice alongside good, honest pub food that doesn't overcomplicate things.
It's the sort of place that works well whether you're warming up after a country walk, wanting to chat with whoever's at the bar, or simply need somewhere to sit down and unwind. The welcome is genuinely friendly, and there's no fuss or pretension about it. If you're travelling through the area, The Old Bush offers a real taste of village hospitality and makes for a natural refreshment stop without any need to search elsewhere.
