"Started off brilliantly, warm friendly reception and very attentive service. Drinks were prompt and very good and the decor and setting is absolutely lovely. We had the Sunday lunch menu and both had the smoked salmon starter which was beautifully presented and very nice. Then the Sunday roasts arrived and things went south rather quickly. I had the ‘best of both’ with both beef and pork which sadly omitted both apple sauce and stuffing, despite being described as ‘with all the trimmings’. My wife had the roast beef, which bizarrely was served with both apple sauce and the black pudding stuffing from the roast pork option. Clearly whomever was plating up wasn’t very attentive. Whilst the meats and roast potatoes were good, sadly the rest of it was rather tasteless. The vegetables were bland and needed seasoning; both the parsnips and Yorkshire pudding appeared to have been cooked much earlier in the day and then warmed up the Yorkshire pudding in particular was dry and tasteless. Equally, the gravy, whilst plentiful was watery and had no depth of flavour and the cauliflower cheese sauce was not cheesy in the slightest. If I were judging this meal as an average pub roast I’d have given it 3 stars, but bearing in mind both the premium price and the expectation set of ‘Malvern’s finest dining experience’ it certainly wasn’t food wise, so sadly only 2 stars. We can only assume that their Sunday roasts are not reflective of their usual standards and we will return to try a weekday evening meal fingers crossed…"

"It's an imposing Victorian building a short walk from the town centre and although it looks a little formal, don't be put off as the welcome, service and food at L'Amuses Bouche are all excellent. We enjoyed a full three courses and although there isn't a huge choice, we tried a variety of the dishes and they were universally great. The staff were lovely, the atmosphere informal and we would certainly visit again. Highly recommended and a lovely place for a meal We didn't stay in the hotel so can't comment on that but am sure it must be up to scratch!"

"A nice location in a courtyard, it has a deli on one side and the restaurant on the other which has seating upstairs or outdoors, under a louvered canopy. Lots of views and plants complete the Mediterranean feel. This is also a dog friendly area. Unfortunately service was slow, with a half hour wait, even though there appeared to be few customers and when it topped a dozen new diners were being advised of a 40 minute delay. The breakfast sandwich was fine, but Egg Benedict sauce was almost tasteless, so not the best I've had. Prices were on the high side considering what we had and the time taken to serve it, but its a great place to people watch! Parking: High Street only. Wheelchair accessibility: Located in courtyard just off the pavement with level access through to the till."

"I 've been to this pub several times since it has got new ownership and each time I have left severely disappointed. I have given it a fair try each time but rude staff, refusal to serve you unless you are a regular who are allowed to stay for lock ins whilst everyone else is turfed out before the pub closes and charging on entry for live music for a local pub is obscene. The attitude of staff when even just asking for water was appalling, and needs a severe shake up. Cant comment on the food, but with wetherspoons down the road I doubt many are eating there anyways. Won 't be going back anytime soon."

"Great food and very patient staff. We arrived as a couple rather than the 3 expected. Just as we were ordering food we got a call and 2 became 3 again...so 15 min, a quick collect and a change of tables later...start again! 5.8.22....back again. Different company (Lorraine). Same great service and food....sweet potato fries are excellent!!"
