Brockencote Hall in Wyre Forest

I have been here several times for afternoon tea, and have always been delighted. Two savouries were served, a quiche and a small sausage roll. These were very good. The sandwiches however left me underwhelmed. The fillings of tuna, cheese and pickle, coronation chicken and a tomato are something I would serve at home. Whoever had made them was not overly generous with the fillings either. As for the bread, I can't say it was old, more likely made early and not covered so it had dried on the outside. The cakes were good, but not exceptional. Service was friendly, but they appeared to be short staffed as the scones took ages to arrive. We also waited nearly 15 minutes after requesting the bill, before we could pay. I was intending to come again for my birthday in a few weeks, but will look elsewhere.

We celebrated our grandson's 18th Birthday. What an awesome experience it was. From the welcome on arrival, through our pre meal drinks and during the amazing meal we had we experienced nothing but care, politeness, professionalism and a total wanting to make our night a success for us. A special mention needs to be made about Jack who could not have done more to care for our needs and sort any questions we had. Thank you Jack, you are a credit to not only Brockencote Hall but to yourself. The food was delicious, thank you chefs we did appreciate your skills so much. No wonder this establishment is the premier place to go for brilliant service, care and comfort.

Fabulous New Year’s Day brunch. Great food and service too. Lovely surroundings and our first New Year’s Day brunch. Excellent.

Excellent taster menu. Birthday treat for a dear friend who was absolutely knocked out by the food, ambience and service .

Chose the Chaddesley Restaurant for a joint birthday celebration with a long standing friend with our birthdays a few days apart. Also because of the venue in blissfully quiet and in beatiful countryside at the Brockencourt Hall Hotel situated in lovely parkland and because the restaurant offers silver service and fine dining. The restaurant beautifully overlooks grounds and is quite grand but hot too full. Excellent meal and wine. All very un-hurried, but excellent service. Only one slight niggle was we could not order our meal whilst we were having an aperatif in the lounge, pity.

Lovely food but not to the high standard I was expecting. We all had the 7 course starter menu. A couple of the dishes were not spectacular and we have enjoyed far better menus elsewhere.The staff and service was excellent. Lovely surroundings and decor. Didn’t feel rushed and we were able to decide how quickly each course would be served. We used to dine every month and could return to monthly lunches but the menu will dictate whether this is possible or not.

Excellence is the key word for this establishment from the front of house staff to actual meal . If there is a better restaurant in the area I would be very surprised. You get a phone call prior to your visit whilst there you are made most welcome and shown what real customer service and satisfaction is . I will certainly return in the future

Superb food and impeccable service in an enchanting location. This was our first visit and it will not be the last.

We were kindly given a gift certificate for lunch at the hotel, unfortunately we misplaced it and notified the hotel of the issue… they said they had no record of it on file but if we found it they would honour it. Fortunately we did find it, however unfortunately they weren’t true to their word and dismissed it. Don’t buy gift certificates as they don’t keep a record of them and should do. At the end of the day someone gave them cash as a present and they just took it, does cash expire? Hmm….

Nice decor, pleasant surroundings, attentive and polite staff, food was good only thing that let it down was the room was very cold

Before the day, the service from the event planner wasn’t very good as I had to chase the menu choices and also didn’t get a response to my emails. I booked a private room for a family celebration lunch; room was very nice and an ideal size for our group of 11. We had pre-lunch drinks in the bar; service was slow and there seemed to be a focus on preparing drinks for a large group in another room. Maybe more staff were needed? The young man behind the bar seemed stressed and was quite rude when a glass of champagne was returned due to it being warm; his response was that he would deal with it after he had finished the drinks for the other group, We had ordered our meal at 1pm and by 1.30 there was no sign off any food. Again, we assumed that all the staff were focusing on serving the larger group but there was no explanation given for the delay. May I suggest that you stagger bookings or have more staff if you’re busy. Having said this, the young lady who was our main waitress was very attentive and helpful. A couple of minor points, we ordered one well done beef and one chicken without alcohol, there was no mention of this (although the names for these orders were supplied) and we think they were possibly given to the wrong people. There should be more attention to detail in relation to special requests in this standard of restaurant. It’s also dangerous to serve sweets on popcorn kernels as these stuck to the sweets and could easily be eaten and be a choking hazard. Overall, it was a nice meal in nice surroundings but the lack of attention to detail let it down. There was also no acknowledgement of the special occasion although the event planner had been informed of this.

The food served in this restaurant was very tasty and of the finest quality. It was beautifully served in a lovely dining room

Menu could have benefited from a couple of more choices for starters and mains, but the quality and presentation was superb

Just returned from Sunday lunch and felt compelled to write a review as the whole experience was exceptional. We started with a drink out on the terrace surrounded by flowers, bees and butterflies busying themselves and overlooking open countryside bordered by trees. We were then invited into the dining room. The service was excellent, the staff friendly and polite, but most of all the food was superb, easily the best Sunday lunch I’ve had out…and I’ve had a few! Finished with coffee back out on the terrace in the sunshine. The best part is the price, for such great food in stunning surroundings in was very, very reasonable, will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

Ate on the night of our stay in the hotel from the 3 course Market menu. Everyting was fantastic from the amazing complimentary breads and amuse-bouche through all three courses. Really lovely, friendly waiting staff too. Easily one of the best meals we have ever had!

Friends of ours took us here as a treat - they knew we are foodies and they had enjoyed good food here in the past, so we had reasonably high expectations. We were welcomed and shown to a table in the lounge bar whereupon we were forgotten about until we chased up a young waiter who arrived to take drinks orders but we hadn’t been given a drinks menu so the waiter went and found us some and we eventually ordered some cocktails which were average at best. The dining room was nice enough - the food and service were hit and miss. We had monkfish cheeks (at a supplement cost) to start with which were overcooked and dry. My main of stone bass was very good but all my companions main courses (lamb and pork) were just average. Our bill was well over £400 for an average experience. We will not be returning. Our friends were embarrassed to have taken us here and they won’t be returning either. I would recommend the Venture Inn at Ombersely for excellent food and service.

It was a great joy to get away after the second lockdown (and before the next one which is almost certainly coming). The Chaddesley Restaurant is comfortable and spacious which left no concerns about covid. We went for the tasting menu. Everything was extremely well conceived and presented. The scallop starter was particularly good the balance across the whole meal spot on and the pace just right. A couple of the dishes were a spot light on seasoning but no big deal. Accessible wine list mercifully not too long. Service good.

Once again we had the pleasure of fine dining at a superb restaurant set in lovely surroundings and with a terrific setting. The food is always well presented and cooked to the highest ala Carte standard. A treat or just fine dining - book and enjoy. At the moment you need to arrive at 7 because the restrictions mean they are forced to ask diners to leave at 10pm.

I have just come back from a really good lunch at Brockencote Hall. It was a miserable rainy day but the experience cheered me up no end.The food here is very good indeed. I had a salad but it was not like any salad I had ever eaten before. It was memorable. My friend ordered beef and it was apparently every bit as good to eat as it looked on the plate.What impressed me was that I am vegetarian but do eat a little bit of fish. I was asked if I had any allergies and told the waitress I did not. However, she noticed that I had ordered two vegetarian dishes and came back to ask whether I was vegetarian or pescatarian because the canapé was fish based. That level of service is worth a lot. The fish based canapé was delicious.This lunch visit was very good indeed. They dealt with the covid restrictions well and I felt safe.I cannot wait to come back.

We have stayed at Brockencote once before and have eaten here on 5 previous occasions. Each time, the food has been of the highest order (and we have eaten at some fine restaurants around the world). The hotel itself is beautiful, secluded and all of the staff are first rate: friendly and very professional. If staying for dinner, the choice of two or three courses, whilst appearing to be quite expensive, is not: with the additional 'tasters', 'amuse bouches' and sorbets, it becomes 4 or 5 courses and we can assure everyone that the tasting experiences are sensational. The wine list is also excellent and is available by the glass. The staff are a credit to this excellent establishment. We did have one issue whereby a surprise gift had not been arranged as requested, which did cause major upset, however, the duty manager did apologize profusely and we were given a glass of champagne as a consolation. Cannot praise Brockencote Hall enough.

Book a table for 2 on Saturday nights, this was our 2nd visit, first time was ok but this time was terrible, service was very slow,upon arrival we ordered 2 glasses of champagne, it took over 30 minutes to arrive, and the wine arrived when we finished our main meal. It felt like we were left in a room and they forgot about us, food was ok, starters and mains were nice, deserts there were no effort, music a little too loud, overall not a pleasant experience at all, will not going back.

I booked the ‘Champagne Afternoon Tea’ on Friday as a birthday Present for my mom. When we got there, we were the only people in the room at the time and for some reason they sat us in the corner of the room. We asked if we could move tables to be sat by the window, the lady did say it was ok to move but we did feel like a burden.When we sat down, we where asked if we wanted a glass of Champagne which we said yes, then one of the waitresses came over with one glass of prosecco? 1) We asked for champagne (which was part of our package). 2) There where 2 of us? We said to the girl and she seemed puzzled and said, ‘oh he only said prosecco’ and went and changed it. But again, the general attitude was that we where a burden even though it was there mistake. Our food came out and the waitress explained what each sandwich filling was and the cakes etc. we requested gluten free and dairy free when we made the booking. The bread and cakes where gluten free but I can’t be certain about dairy free as nothing was mentioned. But we noticed they where all vegetarian options? We called the waiter over and explained the situation and he said she would go and speak with the chef. After about 10 minutes the waiter came out with 4 sandwiches (the main plate came with 8) which where 2 coronation chicken and 2 bacon and avocado. We said the prawns off the usual menu was missing and the tuna sandwich? And he said due to a mistake in the kitchen they had ‘run out’ and these 4 where on the house. Well not really, as we paid for 8 gluten free sandwiches and instead, we got 8 vegetarian? Of which didn’t have much taste at all. One of the vegetarian sandwiches was more or less just rocket. As he was reluctant to do anything about it and could see he wasn’t very willing to help we just asked for 2 hot drinks as we had only been offered the champagne at this point and hadn’t been offered a hot drink. The scones came out which the waitress did state they where gluten free (and they where lovely) but they put down a bowl of clotted cream and a bowl of jam. Assuming the cream wasn’t dairy free, and no one had said anything about it we simply avoided using it to be on the safe side. And we didn’t feel asked if it was dairy free would be very welcome due to the general attitude of the staff. When we finally decided to leave the lady at reception brought us the wrong coats out just to top off the whole experience. Overall, I felt so disappointed by the whole afternoon, after passing the hall for many years and my mom saying she would love to go there I thought it was the perfect birthday gift. However, it just left us feeling so underwhelmed and disappointed. The food and drink were a disaster from start to finish and the overall atmosphere was very unwelcoming. You would think for the price the staff would have an above and beyond attitude, but they came across as if bringing you a drink was a burden. Such a shame, it was a beautiful place and stunning grounds but for the price paid the staff let it down.

Stunning!Decor, service, food faultless.Canapés, whilst we chose the food in the bar, crab starter and the qual starter were nice and the duck was cooked beautifully. Halibut and eel were smoky and so tasty.Thank you for making it so special.I cannot wait to go back!

We stay at Brockencote once or twice yearly, while in England. The staff get high marks always for everything, but last year, we decided our 'usual' room needs a new bed. It wasn't as comfortable as it should be. We mentioned this to a housekeeper and a 'topper' was added to the mattress, which helped. That being said, we feel 'at home' there and felt comfortable clearing our table of used glasses to make space for friends joining us in the bar when staff were busy elsewhere. We love the food, atmosphere and the experience as a whole. We always have a great stay and it can't be beat for location and beautiful setting. Love the views from our bedroom windows and hearing the bleating of the sheep as we drift off to sleep. We were there near Christmas and everything was beautifully decorated, food and service excellent and this year we'll check whether our favorite room has had a new mattress and if not, we'll get a different room!

Beautiful hotel in lovely grounds, excellent food and service. Lovely rooms. Attentive staff. Plenty of parking.

Very nice venue. Food was good and nicely presented average to high costs. Staff were welcoming and polite. We would definitely go agsin

I keep hoping this restaurant will go back to its former glory when it was outstanding. It has slowly been getting worse not only the food but the service too. The staff are all very friendly and polite but no one really seems to know what they’re doing. They’ve just had a big staff change but it isn’t any better. The food was just ok. I chose the stone bass as main course. Had it many times before at this restaurant and it’s usually fab. Last night it was the size of a small fish finger and overcooked. I could go on about other things but I won’t bother. We won’t be going back anytime soon. We’ve given it enough chances. It has everything going for it and should be amazing. It isn’t anymore.

We visited here in June for a Sunday lunch and we had a fabulous meal - we suggested to two of our friends who had both celebrated an 80th Birthday this year if they would like to try it as a treat. We were called on the Friday to confirm our booking and were told that yes, we had booked for 1230 and would be shown to our table at 1300 which we said was fine. On arrival we were shown to the bar and served with drinks, we had to wait a long time for the menu and wine list and were not offered any more drinks, my husband went to the bar to request another drink for himself - we weren't shown to the table until half past 1 which was a long time after arriving before 1230! We were impressed by the service and the food was good but having said that, it wasn't hot enough but we were hungry so didn't complain, the veg were really hard, more raw than anything so a lot were left. We were asked if we wanted sauce - I had a chicken dish and asked for Cranberry and they said no we haven't got any, our friends both had pork and requested apple sauce and again they said no - to be honest I can't see the point in offering sauce which was horseradish and mustard only when only one person had beef! Still, the food was very good but if I am honest not as good as we had in June - also we had amuse bouche that time and I am sure a pre-dessert. Overall it was a lovely lunch and I still think good value for what you get but my husband and I were disappointed there were a few things that were not as good especially as we were with friends. We will visit again but hope to have the memorable meal we had back in June!

Beautiful hotel, the accommodation is lovely. Restaurant is somewhat overpriced for tiny portions. Service in general was not that friendly, which was a shame.

Much has been written over the years regarding this excellent, quality country hotel. No matter what your reason may be to visit, whether it be to stay, dine or meet for Coffee or Afternoon Tea you can rely on the fact that it will be of the highest standard, with first class service.If you want a location for a special occasion this has to be high on the selection chart.

We had a lovely evening here. The service was very good and they were very accommodating with the children (8 and 12). It’s a very nice place to take time over dinner and despite being considered formal dining we found it very relaxed. The belly pork and lamb were excellent. My plaice with truffle was not exceptional by any means, but I still enjoyed it. The cheese selection was a highlight and the wine list pleasing.I will happily bring everyone back.

Terrible service, poor staff, bland food - extremely disappointing and very expensive for the priviledge!

The hotel is very good (see separate review) but the restaurant does not deliver an experience to match. The restaurant has been decorated in keeping with the property, with some tables looking out onto the terrace and countryside beyond.

This review is based on a few visits, staying at the hotel each time.

We visited Brockencote yesterday for Sunday lunch. We have visited quite a few times and we noticed a new Maitre de who was very good indeed. He was working non stop, looking after diners excellently. The food was sumptuous and very tasty.The table staff were attentive and very pleasant. In all a great meal and day out.

Visited on a Sunday lunchtime for my husband's Birthday - from the moment you walk into reception you are treated to top class service from the staff - showing you through to the bar for drinks whilst you peruse the menu. No rush to take your order which I love as you have time to enjoy your pre dinner drinks and lovely nibbles! The menu was superb and we enjoyed every mouthful! The table was facing the window with a lovely view over the terrace and fields. Service was second to none and I personally thought for £38 per head including coffee and petit fours it was excellent value - will be visiting again soon and would love an overnight stay so we can sample the evening menu!

£200 for two is obviously an expensive meal and though there are some very good points the food isn't of a high enough standard to justify the price. A crab dish with shell in it is not good and the beef was tough and lacked flavour.

My husband booked a dinner, bed and breakfast stay for my birthday. The staff we professional and friendly, the food was gorgeous and the upgraded room was very impressive. I’d highly recommend it.

We enjoyed the tasting menu in the elegant dining room on our first anniversary stay recently. It was our first visit since our wedding day at Brockencote so we were very much looking forward to some delicious food. We were hugely impressed with each of the dishes presented and found all the flavours to work well as a tasting menu. Highlights included the perfectly cooked halibut and textures of pear dessert. Generous portions left us very satisfied by the end of our meal, though we were still able to enjoy the beautiful cheese selection. Service was great- unobtrusive yet efficient. Brockencote Hall is obviously a very special place for us and we were delighted to see that a year on it is still as fantastic as it were on our wedding day! We intend to spend many more special occasions there!

Went on Saturday night for a meal which was offered by Brockencote because of a bad experience we had a couple of months earlier. On complaining about the bad experience the restaurant manager handled the situation very well and we were grateful for the opportunity for him to prove to us that the normally very high standards At Brockencote has not slipped. However our experience on Saturday night confirmed to us that things have changed in the restaurant and not for the better unfortunately. It pains me to say, because it was one of our favourite restaurants, but we will not be returning. What a shame.

The drinks on offer, the food and the service - everything delightful! The butlers there are exemplary and make you feel like a royalty

It’s been over 8 years since my last visit. Excellent service, food and venue. Hard to fault and we will be dining again in the evening.

After having previously visited Brockencote Hall a few years ago for afternoon tea and really enjoying it, we decided to book again for a family members birthday.

An imposing manor house down a long drive this restaurant exudes quality - of course at a price. The staff are formal, more so than the guests, and you move from the wood panelled lounge to the dining room on polished marble floors. There are fixed price menus although you can mix and match. We chose the 2 course "Seasonal" menu at £45. Scallops (actually just over 1 scallop) served with pigs ear was perfect although at £15 per serving a little more scallop would have been welcome. The Broadway Venison was some of the best I have tasted being tender and succulent. We had a white wine which was the cheapest at £32 but declined dessert again at £15. I might add that Turkey croquets were served with the pre-dinner drinks and there was also an amuse bouche. The atmosphere in the restaurant is a bit stiff and not fun but perhaps thats to be expected. The total bill for 4 was £271 (including service) which means that it is an expensive night out

Lovely set tasting menu on Valentine’s Day with acceptable portion sizes and swift service. Staff were very attentive but perhaps a bit serious, a smile goes a long way! Only real negative was the complete lack of atmosphere in the restaurant, had to speak quietly so we weren’t overheard as no background music at all so that was a shame. Not helped by quite bright lighting. Had coffee in the library as more relaxing - could’ve done with an extra scoop in the cafetière but overall a lovely evening and will return with friends soon.

The luncheon was for a group of Bentley Club motorists to celebrate Valentine's Day. Because we were a large group we had to choose prior to the day, from the menu provided. On seating at our designated table I noticed that our choice from the Menu had been printed on the reverse side of the place setting. This was then reversed in order that the staff were aware of each individual's choice when serving each course.. This is a luxury country hotel in Worcestershire, which is set in 70 acres of immaculate grounds and large lakes. From the interior the views are glorious and is an ideal place

We eat here once or twice a year and the food as usual was excellent but considering the standards that we have come to expect there appeared to have been a slight slippage in the quality of service we received from the staff. This would not be noticed at other establishments but because standards here have always been so high it was.

This was a family get together and it was nice that we were put on a round table which made it easier for conversation. Despite it being quiet I found the service very slow. The food was well presented and beautifully cooked. All three courses were delicious with the ham hock terrine being particularly good. Service was very pleasant but there was a very long wait between starters and mains. Had it been busy it would have been understandable but there appeared to be only one other table occupied.

We booked for New Years Eve. Unfortunately, like most hotels now if we wanted to stay over it had to be a two night package, which did not suit us. We opted for the meal package £125pp.

We visited Brockencote Hall for dinner this evening. Although dark and miserable weather, the Hall was brightly lit and welcoming. The staff were attentive and polite, but not intrusive. The best part was the food, the starter was simple but delicious, I then chose the Turkey main (well it is almost Christmas), which was a delight. Full of flavour and brilliantly presented. We both finished off with the cheese and the selection was incredible fortunately we were taken through the options by the waiter and his suggestions were spot on. Although scoring 5 stars for the visit, there was a small problem with the bill. They got it right at the 4th attempt. A tiny blip on the evening but the food outshone any problems. Can’t wait to visit again.

A fantastic start to Christmas! We were five ladies sharing an "Alternative Christmas Dinner" experience. And it was a dream from first course to last. A glass of spicy punch beside the Christmas tree was the prelude to an imaginative menu featuring crispy roast artichoke with chestnut dressing as starter, followed by Salmon Wellington with leeks and a white wine and chive veloute. Pudding was a dainty wedge of dark chocolate tart, with clementines and black olive tuile. Coffee and delicious petit fours rounded off the meal perfectly. The whole experience was enhanced by a demonstration beforehand, in the dining room, by the head chef of how he had prepared the Salmon Wellington.Waiters were courteous and the service was superb. Lunch at Brockencote was an absolute delight. Very special. Can't recommend it highly enough

My wife and I have stayed at some good hotels around the world and some great country house hotels in the UK but this was up among the best in all respects.

Had Sunday lunch attentive unassuming staff.Food superbmaking for a super lunch good choice but without doubt the beef was delicious perfectly cooked as were the accompeing vegetables.Not huge quantity of food but well presented and finished meal not feeling stuffed but satisfied and full.

Working and staying in Redditch, we wanted a nice restaurant for dinner, what we got with the Brockencote Hall was an exceptional restaurant with outstanding service and wonderful meal, all four had a memorable evening thanks to the food, staff & venue.

We visited Brockencote for our Anniversary meal and were very impressed. We were extremely well looked after from the moment we arrived. The service and food were both superb. The setting is also very beautiful .

This is a beautiful establishment in a glorious setting. The interior public rooms, bar library and dining room are all beautiful and comfortable. If you get the weather there is a lovely outside terrace to enjoy a drink with lovely views. Service is faultless, pleasant and efficient but not overpowering. There was a good choice of food and the vegetarian in our party was well catered for. We were given an amuse bouche prior to dinner then taken to the dining room. It was my birthday and there was a card on the table which was a nice touch. The food was good but I wouldn't call it memorable. Some of us don't usually order deserts but as portions were so small we did as we were still hungry. They are generous with bread to fill you however. I ordered lobster tortellini which was just one small tortellini which was ridiculous . Overall a lovely evening but food a bit disappointing.

We held a birthday lunch party for 18 in one of the private dining rooms. Beautiful surroundings....excellent service....great food. Lucy, the event organiser was most helpful.

My favourite location for a special occasion. Excellent food and service. Been coming to Brockencote Hall for over 20 years and it never disappoints.

Booked a family anniversary Sunday lunch with private room based on the reputation and reviews from friends. The Hotel and grounds were splendid and on arrival we had drinks on the terrace which was lovely, the good weather we had was a bonus. The private room was nicely laid out and a comfortable size for our party. The staff were brilliant, polite and attentive but not intrusive so there was a great atmosphere and we were all relaxed. The food was moderately disappointing though. It was beautifully presented and fresh but nothing special and I was expecting a gourmet delight for the price we paid. There were a few complaints about portion sizes and to be honest I have had a better lunch at the Chateau in Droitwich. All in all we had a good day, but a better lunch would have made it perfect.

Visited the Brockencote Hall for lunch recently and was very impressed with the whole occasion. The building and surrounds look amazing, the staff really know how to make you feel welcome. When it comes to the food where do I start! From starter to dessert the quality of the food was outstanding, the presentation and taste of the meals certainly make me want to visit again. Clearly a place for a special occasion and I will definitely be visiting again!

Went for afternoon tea. Sandwiches scones and sweets were of a very high standard and were thoroughly enjoyed. Knocked a star off from the experience for four reasons -

Good quality food but tiny portions. Waiting on staff were slow and poorly turned out. The place lacked atmosphere and is a long way below its former self under the previous owners.

We had a meal here in May and the food was fantastic. Along with the 3 courses there were chef specials included. The onion and honey bread roll is something you must try if not before and the lemon desert was my personal favorite.

There were 3 tasting menu options available and we selected dishes from the two Market Menu's. Good choice of food, nice choice of wines by the glass to accompany the food and very good service. Very surprised at some of the bad reviews as we both thought the food was to a very high standard and at quite a reasonable price for the quality. Duck main course was delicious and to my wife's (and my) delight the deserts were absolutely first rate.

Three of us visited Brockencote Hall for afternoon tea on Easter Saturday. My husband and I had visited for meals and a overnight stay before. Decided to treat my 89 yr old Mother to afternoon tea. The hotel is lovely and the staff friendly and attentive. Afternoon tea was adequate but not the best we had experienced elsewhere, the bread seemed dry on the sandwiches and I had no cream inside my profiterole. The scones were warm and delicious. The downside was, we were seated in the library and guests checking in to the hotel had to walk through the library to the bedrooms, there was a wedding party in the conservatory and there were guests coming backwards and forwards while we were eating which spoilt the ambiance of the time we were there. It's a pity that a separate room cannot be utilised just for afternoon tea guests.

We ate here with a work colleague needing somewhere quiet and good quality. It turned out to be both and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food.

I recently had my 70th Birthday Sunday Lunch at Brockencote Hall and was a little disappointed, it certainly wasn't the place it was in the past under it's previous ownership.

Brockencote Hall is a favourite in my family for meals, as the food and service are always excellent. Well, today they excelled. My grandfather had booked a table for four as a birthday treat for me. The service from beginning to end was attentive, friendly and professional from the waitress Danke (sorry if I spelled the name wrong!) Nothing was too much for her to do for us. As my grandfather had mentioned when booking that it was a birthday, I had a surprise birthday card waiting for me at the table, and after the lunch they bought out surprise complimentary glasses of champagne for us all with "Happy Birthday" chocolates. The food from start to finish was sublime (we had the market menu, and it is very good value for money). As always, from the start to the beginning of the visit, the experience was spectacular and cannot be faulted in a single aspect. I would recommend to everybody!

I reviewed the restaurant in my review of the hotel

My sister and I recently took my Mum for afternoon tea for Mother’s Day (10/03/18).

A real treat, food is excellent for every occasion from afternoon tea to Sunday lunch or a special occasion. Hotels rooms are first class too. All the staff are friendly and helpful.

My wife and I entertained two friends to lunch here. I've known Brockencote since it was bought for a private house and then sold for a hotel many years ago. As it is now it isn't really my kettle of fish, a bit pretentious for my liking, but our friends had entertained us there and we thought it only appropriate to return the compliment.

Excellent quality food. Staff serving were friendly and efficient. Breakfast equally as good. Staff not fazed by requests for vegan food. Well recommended.

Yes it's an idyllic setting with lovely country house ambience. Service is professional and discreet, rooms are well appointed and comfortable. So all good so far.

Great ambience, comfortable and cosy library. Tea was lovely, fresh lots of it beautifully presented.

A relatively small Market menu on a package deal (with a supplement for selecting items from the Seasonal Menu -...

We had a wonderful afternoon yesterday at Brockencote Hall. It was a special celebration of our son in laws 40th...

Had lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary. All the staff make you feel special. Had the market menu which was a little limited but all the courses were excellent. A little pricey but worth every penny.

The food was exceptional, butternut squash soup that was silky and perfectly seasoned, blade of beef that was bursting with flavour and the pudding of white chocolate cheesecake and salted sour cream ice cream was divine! Robert our waiter was attentive, chatty and made our evening. Many thanks

We stayed at this hotel for two nights after a miserable two nights in the Melvern hills in a so called grand hotel , we loved this hotel and our room which was modern as was the huge bathroom , This is one of the best all round hotels I have been to, they seem to go the extra mile with all the treats in the room with Nespresso coffee machine, I hate Nescafé instant which you get every where nowadays also posh chocolates ,fruit ,jar of biscuits slippers and dressing gown and morning papers ,there aren't many places you get all that, there are lots of areas to sit and relax and have a drink , the restaurant is very formal with out being pretentious ,a nice varied menu and the food is first class apart from my Almond tart pud which was a let down (sorry chef ) ,the gardens are lovely and overall are stay was perfect ,, not cheap but worth it , We will return .

Friends are celebrating their 60th. Wedding Anniversary with 60 events. Lunch at Brockencote Hall was one event. We all had the selections from Market Lunch menu. The food was excellent as was the service. Will definitely go again and will recommend to family and friends. Brilliant for a special occasion or just for a 'you are worth it' treat.

Really nice food and service. The food was of excellent standard and the service that came with it was in every bit the same. Winelist was carefully selected and even the "cheap" wines was top quality.

After a couple of not so good visits its great to say its reclaimed its place as my favourite restaurant in Worcestershire great staff wonderful food in superb surroundings.The best place to eat in the County

I had telephoned twice and left a message for a call back to book afternoon tea, then left a message on the web site, still no call back! At last got to speak to someone in reservations.The afternoon tea was superb, very attentive staff.Beautiful surroundings.The " anniversary" card was a nice touch too. I am surprised that such an exclusive hotel have an answerphone as the first port of call.

Fabulous hotelWe loved our stay every thing was perfectFood was stunning... the red wine was also stunningStaff were so lovely, helpful, made us so welcomeWe will come back....

Food excellent. I asked Yosef the waiter about side orders, I fancied green beans and spinach but was told if I want side orders to eat in the bar! I requested that he ask the chef who refused to serve side orders in the restaurant. Clivedon, Claridges, The Connaught and The Dorchester, not to mention all local Public Houses all serve side orders. Photos attached of the cheese board parked uncovered outside the entrance to the lavatory being hopped on by flies. I asked the arrogant rude waiter to move it from the toilets and cover it but he said it is not my business and that is how the chef orders it to be stored. I asked for a manager and was told he had gone home. I have contacted the hotel but as of yet not received a reply. BE WARNED; the cheese may have been sneezed upon, been visited by flies and also consider the heat it has been exposed to in a busy corridor.

Booked on the spur of the moment, for lunch. It being a Monday the hotel was quiet, but the service was friendly and efficient from the moment we went through the door.We went for the two course lunch, but nibbles arrived with our drinks, an amuse bouche appeared between courses - all top marks. My cured salmon starter and sea bass main were superb - the sea bass the best I've ever tasted, perfect! My wife's pigeon breast with roast beetroot was given ten out of ten, her roast lamb also got full marks.The portions are not huge but somehow very satisfying - but you go to Brockencote for quality, if you want quantity go to a transport caff. Coffee and petit fours rounded the things off nicely.Not cheap but worth every penny.

I was taken here for a birthday lunch by a friend and the experience, as always, was first class. The staff were immediately attentive and interested and the service throughout our stay was excellent. The menu was full of interesting choices, using ingredients suited to the season. Our meals were beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The dining room has a calm relaxed atmosphere with lovely views over the terrace to the surrounding fields. It was an extremely hot day but with the terrace doors thoughfully open there was a lovely breeze keeping us cool as we ate. From the canapés served with our pre lunch drinks through to the delicious sweet treats served with coffee everything was faultless. This remains my favourite place to visit for a special occasion or just when I feel I need a treat!!

Had lunch there today with a friend for her birthday. The staff are very efficient and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The grounds are well kept and it was lovely to be able to sit on the terrace for pre meal drinks and for coffee afterwards and then walk by the lake. The food was faultless. We shall be returning.

Cannot believe I forgot to review this venue after our New Years Eve 2 day package 6 months ago!!! Suffice to say, it was brilliant...food, staff, accommodation, entertainment. So much so that we have booked already to return for NYE this year

An excellent hotel with great views. The staff were great and food first class. We didn't want to leave.

My wife and I with fiends visited Brockencote Hall on Saturday May 20th for lunch (£35.00 pp) and once again had an excellent meal. On arrival we were shown into the library where we had the Chef's compliment whilst we perused the menu and then taken into Chaddesley Restaurant for lunch. We were first served a lovely amuse bouche then... The starters consisted of Smoked Salmon and the Hock terrine followed with mains of Lamb, John Dory and Plaice, and then desserts of Rhubarb, Peanut and Selection of Cheese. After our meal we moved into the Colonial Lounge and Bar for our Coffee and Petit Fours (£4.50pp.....Shame the coffee rather weak in the jug). The service throughout was attentive and helpful and making it a most enjoyable lunch.

Went to taste dishes prior to a wedding reservation we have next year. The meals were surprisingly good. Some sophisticated presentation and tastes as well as excellent vegetable dishes. Service was always attentive and good humoured. A treat to be served by a waiter with a sense of fun. Very pleased we have chosen this venue for our wedding.

We had booked afternoon tea as a birthday treat. When booked I was asked if it was a special occasion but when we arrived there was no difference in the experience. We were sat in the library which is lovely comfortable but with 2 other couples you do feel conscious that your conversation can be overheard, I would have preferred a choice and if asked I would have sat in the conservatory. We were served drinks to start with, a good range of tea and coffee but no soft drinks, we had 2 older children who had to have fruit tea and tap water or be charged extra fro soft drinks. Tea was served after about 10 mins , although it doesn't look very much it was actually very filling, the sandwiches were lovely - smoked salmon, cucumber, coronation chicken and bruschetta. No offer of a vegetarian option. The cakes were scones, macaroons, profiteroles, jam and clotted cream, carrot cake muffins. Overall an enjoyable afternoon, no offer of a refill of tea or coffee which for £25.00 I think there might have been. Overall a nice experience but not particularly relaxed atmosphere and rather pricey.

We were extremely disappointed with the limited choices on the dinner menu, the meal was disappointing.

Fantastic venue located in peaceful Worcestershire countryside. This is an historic building with an impressive entrance drive and inside it feels very elegant with gorgeous interior designs. I have always wanted to dine here and my husband surprised me with the taster menu for lunch to celebrate my 60th birthday. We had champagne as an aperitif before sitting down in the beautiful dining room overlooking fields with sheep grazing. There were three of us as my daughter joined us and we were treated to superb service and stunning dishes which were all delicious. I was given a birthday card from the staff of Brockencote Hall, as well as a chocolate birthday treat. The whole experience was really memorable and made it a very special occasion.

I feel quite pleased with myself about arranging to start such an important day at this delightful hotel, as we had a wonderful breakfast, excellent service (from Craig with the extravagant facial hair?) and beautiful setting. Maybe next time we will stay the night; it certainly deserves to be enjoyed more extensively and in relaxation mode. Spoil yourself, I don't think you will be disappointed.

This was the occasion of our friends' fiftieth wedding anniversary. I can honestly say it was very, very good. Tasty home cured salmon for starter, Roast striploin of local beef and and, for dessert, dark chocolate mousse with milk ice cream. Yummy, and all of it excellent especially the beef which melted in the mouth. HOWEVER whatever happened to the Yorkshire pudding? There seems to be a competition among chefs to see how much air they can get into the structure. They were all six inches tall and looked like large, lumps of volcanic pumice. Mine tasted like cardboard. Now ... you may think this is a minor detail. Not to a man born and bread in the Soviet Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire it isn't. It's sacrilege! My aunt Lillian's 'YP's' were nine inches across,had crunchy turned up sides and were served with gravy and mashed potatoes. I'm not trying to suggest that an up market place like Brockencote Hall should try something like that, but my goodness someone should tell their chef what a 'YP' really looks like.

We have now had three meals here.We had a special evening meal here. we have had an evening taster menu and Sunday lunch. Service and food is unbeatable. Not the cheapest but by far the best of the top restaurants we have visited

I can't fault anything about the meal and service. From start to finish the staff were attentive and pleasant. We had a private room and the large table was set beautifully. It was Easter Sunday and every place had a little bag with small Easter eggs in. My six year old grandson was given a larger egg. He was delighted and it was a lovely personal touch from the restaurant. The food was well presented and well cooked. Brockencote made it a wonderful day for birthday boy and his large family!!. Thank you!
