Square Meal review of Bants:

It’s a family affair at the Bants’ pub – so much so, they named the pub after themselves, dropping its former Coventry Arms title in 2004. It’s hardly surprising, then, that this roadside place in glorious open countryside between Worcester & Stratford-upon-Avon has a friendly, down-to-earth air & is popular as a place to drink & eat – either in the traditional dining room with open fire or the roomy conservatory – as well as stay. The kitchen makes much use of local produce with the food as no-nonsense & hearty as the pub itself. There may be filo-wrapped Brie to start with a dressing of raspberry & wholegrain mustard, followed by posh fish pie packed with salmon, cod & prawns in a rich thermidor sauce. Portions are generous, but it’s worth saving room for dessert – zesty lemon tart or hot toffee apple crepes, say.
