Featured Worcester Restaurants
1. The Inn at Welland
British, Modern restaurant in Welland
Hook Bank, Drake Street - WR13
“All you want in a dining experience”: “interesting food, seasonal and of good provenance” (plus served in “reasonable” portions) is “professionally served by friendly staff” at this crowd-pleasing gastroboozer – a regular hit in our annual diners’ poll. While the low-key, New England-style dining room is “nice enough”, for spirit-raising views of the Malvern Hills dine in the garden under the glass canopy.
2. 1919, The Cottage in the Wood
British, Modern restaurant in Malvern Wells
Holywell Rd - WR14
“Spectacular and panoramic views from the Malvern Hills across the Severn Valley” are a major plus at this “cosy hotel dining room”. When it comes to the victuals, one reporter cautions that “when they stick to plain stuff, it is very good but then the kitchen gets carried away and the result is sometimes disappointing”. For the most part, though, there’s nothing but praise for “chef Rob Mason’s creative dishes”, which fans say “offer pure taste delight at very reasonable prices”.
3. The Venture In
Fish & seafood restaurant in Ombersley
Main Road - WR9
The black-and-white timber building dates back to 1430, but this beamed rural restaurant has operated in its current guise since 1998, and serves a straightforward, rather traditional and old-fashioned menu that’s consistently highly rated in our annual diners’ poll: “always reliably good food” with “a successful combination of flavours and complementary sauces plus good house wines; all alongside more innovative specials changed daily”.
4. The Admiral Rodney
British, Modern restaurant in Martley
Berrow Green - WR6
2021 Review: Limited but all-round positive feedback on this relative newcomer – a country inn with rooms, relaunched in mid 2018, and serving a brasserie-style menu majoring in steak (also with lighter options at lunch).
5. Eckington Manor
British, Modern restaurant in Eckington
Hammock Road - WR10
2021 Review: “The quality of the chef is well known and the major attraction” at this timbered country house hotel, helmed by MasterChef: The Professionals winner Mark Stinchcombe; yet while his “excellent” farm-to-fork cuisine generally pleases, service strikes some reporters as “average”: “a tremendous amount of attention has been paid to the design of the cooking school adjacent but seemingly less to what makes a good fine-dining restaurant”.
