The Dodford Inn Pub in Bromsgrove

Whinfield Rd, Bromsgrove B61 9BG

About This Pub

You know, when you step into The Dodford Inn, it's got this lovely, welcoming vibe that just draws you in, especially with its picturesque gardens and rolling views that make you feel miles away from the hustle. From what I've gathered from folks who've been, the team there are real gems – always on hand with a smile and that extra touch to sort out any detail, whether it's for a big wedding bash or just a quiet drink. The grub and beverages get high marks too, with everything feeling fresh and well put together. On the other hand, it's a bit of a shame it's not open every day, as that could put a damper on impromptu visits, and it does lean heavily towards events, so if you're after a straightforward pub crawl, it might not hit the spot. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're up for a relaxed countryside outing with a personal touch, but worth checking the schedule first to avoid disappointment.

It's a fantastic spot for weddings and celebrations, offering a cosy, homely atmosphere that keeps everyone feeling included and at ease.

Cons

It's only open a few days a week, which can make it tricky to pop in spontaneously if you're after a casual pint.
The focus seems more on events like weddings rather than everyday pub vibes, so it might not always feel like your typical local haunt.

We got married at the Dodford Inn on Saturday 17th May 2025. We genuinely can’t find the words to describe how incredible this venue is and how amazing our special day was. Choosing a venue is so hard, there are so many options but we had a good idea in our heads. When we walked in to the Dodford Inn, we knew immediately in our hearts that this was the perfect venue for us with a rustic feel! We met Becky and she was so lovely and explained all of the options to us. When she said they had a Saturday in May, Claire’s face lit up and the plans began. The way in which their packages work makes life so much easier, so much was included, from reception drinks, canapés and wedding breakfast, decoration, evening food and even a great DJ. This really took the pressure off our planning and we had so much more time to work on the other smaller details. We then met Ben, he sent us details for the portal and again this made life so much easier as we could just upload the details and send it over. Both Becky and Ben are so thoughtful, they helped come up with ideas and were really flexible with dining options and Ben even got us some Donkey wine where the proceeds go to the donkey sanctuary. We don’t believe we could have ever got this service anywhere else. The day itself was perfect, the team were so attentive and we felt they were on hand at all times to help us out. The bridal prep room was so handy and was a lovely space to get ready. The room was set up exactly as we asked and the way they move the room round for the wedding breakfast and evening is seamless! To top this off, the bridal suite was incredible, like a luxury hotel!! The food was out of this world, all guests commented how great it was, high quality and perfect portion sizes. The venue just has everything, not too big that guests are on top of each other, but intimate to allow that romantic feel. The outdoor space is wonderful, a lovey patio and grounds that are perfect for outdoor shots. We could not have dreamt of a venue that was so perfect and Becky, Ben and the team made our day magical from start to finish. The best thing is, they are a restaurant on the weekends when weddings are not taking place so we can go back time and time again to experience their amazing venue and food! You made our dreams come true and will never forget you. Rich and Claire

We booked our wedding with the dodford inn almost 2 years before the date - the first time walking around we knew it would be the perfect place for our big day! It’s a very homely, comfortable and rustic venue with stunning views! Working with Ben and Becky throughout the time was a pleasure! No question was to silly and they went above and beyond making the day perfect! There were many small details I wouldn’t have thought of which they had done which made the day amazing! The venue got many compliments as well as the food! The portion sizes and quality were incredible! The rooms we stayed in were so modern and stunning - we had croissants and drinks in the morning which were lovely! Joe at the bar was also incredible, he was so friendly and could hear orders from a far! Everyone said how lovely he was and the rest of the team too! We would recommend this venue to everyone and are so thankful to the whole team there for making our day run seamlessly and the perfect day!

My wife and I had the most amazing wedding at The Dodford Inn. The team (Ben especially) were fantastic from the first day we meet them right through to the day after the wedding. No request was too big or too small and everything was sorted to ensure we had the perfect day. I simply can’t pick any faults with this as a wedding venue. The food was exceptional and all of our guests have commented how it is the best wedding food they have ever eaten! We wish we could do our wedding day all over again! Thank you Ben and the team at The Dodford Inn!
