Eckington Manor in Wychavon

We had a lovely stay - only stayed b & b but breakfast was lovely - our room was amazing - perfect no faults at all - can’t wait to go back - we were there for the cookery school ( tapas) whole thing was brilliant - looking at more courses. Staff were all friendly and couldn’t be more helpful - Tracey you’re a star ! So helpful. Thanks everyone for a lovely experience - would recommend.

We had a night away treat . Booked a general room very pretty but even though it had a fan albeit broken base it was much needed as no windows only two velux in roof. Middle of night it rained HARD & awoken to wet feet!! After finding remote half asleep closed roof but then was even warmer I room!! The other thing as entering the room noticed straight away the vekux were very dirty I understand being in roof hard to clean but literally eyes drawn to that as you walk in . The bed however WOW THE COMFIEST BED EVER!!!!! lovely bedding too!! We had tasting menu which was ok the mail was outstanding & dessert but other parts rather odd & fish part was t nice so left it only part cured . Staff super friendly & professional ! Breakfast was below par bacon hard & obvs reheated not impressed after reading such top reviews from other diners . However overheard the owner was cooking as chef was off . Pretty place though

Excellent meal with my family at this restaurant. The food was fabulous and the staff were amazing. I would highly recommend this place.

I had excellent birthday meal here. The food exceeded all my expectations. The staff were both friendly and professional. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Lovely place and staff. HOWEVER, do not book for a group (I booked for 14 adults and four children) as you will be asked to select food from a limited menu for EVERYONE in your party to eat the same starter, main and dessert. Really challenging / disappointing if you have people that have different tastes as they will be ‘forced’ to eat food they don’t like to appease the party. I have never experienced this anywhere else hence the low rating. To be fair to Eckington Manor, they did reimburse me but I felt this was not made explicitly clear when making the original booking. This advice and feedback might save you some time / disappointment.

The location - The welcome - The room - The food - The service = **FAULTLESS** Arrived at 15:00 to a friendly warm welcome before being taken across to our room in the main house - this was amazing. The furnishings are all to a really high standard and in keeping with the history of the building. Our room was bright and airy, with a great view across the Worcestershire countryside. The bed was huge and really comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless with great quality fittings. At 19:00 we were treated to an awesome 7 course meal - special mention to Matt who was the most attentive host and looked after us like royality. Each course was stunning with stand out dishes being the Evesham tomato salad and Longhorn Beef. Local top quality ingrediants and all presented immaculately. A sound nights sleep before going back to the restaurant for an impressive breakfast. 100% recommend Eckington Manor - it really is a gem of an establishment and deserves recognition as everything was simply outstanding.

Superb food, excellent night’s sleep and the usual warm welcome delivered by an excellent team. We unwind and enjoy every aspect. That’s what draws us back, time after time

An excellently hosted evening from start to finish. The staff were all attentive,cheerful,helpful and smartly attired. We all agreed the menu was very good and there was nothing i could fault. Well done Eckington Manor!

We stopped here overnight while travelling south, booking a ground floor room with breakfast as well as an eveningmeal. The room was adequate but dark with a toilet that ran all night. The evening meal, main course, arrived warm and although we were offered to have it replated, we just wanted to get through the meal and get to bed,we had had a long day. The meal should not have been sent out of the kitchen just warm and not hot. The breakfast was excellent! Would we return? No.

We return as regularly as we can, and the food, accommodation and service is as impeccable as ever, in a beautiful, tranquil setting. Our 3 course meal was well worth the 300 mile round trip alone! Lovely to see the sustainability ethos gathering pace, with vegan bedding and lovely toiletries (100 Acres - a local artisan company) in refillable bottles (and to buy). Thank you Team Eckington for always putting a spring back in our step

I was at eckington for the cookery course. Prior to booking I emailed and stated my dietary requirements. I was expected to cook three dishes where the main ingredient was pork which didn’t fit with what I had informed them of prior to me paying and booking the class. They ignored my dietary requirements. I do not eat a joint of pork yet was expected to cook it and other dishes including pork I don’t eat. I left without making anything . I left without lunch . I had travelled 5 hours in total by car to go there. I emailed and suggested a partial refund which I thought was very reasonable given my wasted day, wasted course fee of £185 and wasted fuel . They refused to refund anything . I find their stance unreasonable hence my one star 🌟

Nice setting within surrounding courtyard in a quiet village. Lunch was good, quality beef & veg, but Yorkshire pudding quite tasteless. Service was excellent, attentive staff throughout.

We visited here for a friend’s birthday and had the 5 course tasting menu with the wine flight. It was a terrible overpriced disappointment. The food was very average, beef shoulder undercooked and stringy, the rest completely forgettable. The wine flight was served in an ad hoc fashion with no explanation of the pairings, most were served later than the course. I think that the ordinary menu is fine in line with a country pub but I would not bother with the tasting menu. I get the feeling that the restaurant is living off the reputation of the previous chef.

I visited Eckington Manor to celebrate a milestone birthday for my better half. I had booked in for the 7 course taster menus and over night stay. The location is a a must, gorgeous surroundings and a fantastic location close to the town of Pershore, surrounded by the Malvern Hills in the county of Worcestershire. We arrived at Ekington Manor for around 5pm. Check in is on the ground floor of the restaurant building but not obvious, but was eventually greeted by one of the staff who were more than happy to help. Our evening meal was booked for 7:30pm which was perfect as this gave time to have a wonder around Elkington village before getting ready. The 7 course taster menu was a great choice. Giving great variety and tastes. I had opted for the accompanying wine flight which again is well worth adding to your experience to compliment the food through each of the courses. The accommodation was very well laid out and perfectly in charge yet for the building period. Our room was in the main building surrounded by original beams and signs of when the building would have been used with a central fire place back in its original time. Breakfast included lunch with the accommodation was a delight and a perfect finish to a great weekend. We even had time to pop over to Stratford on our way back. Thank you to all the staff for a delightful time and superb meal.

Myself and a friend went here for her birthday treat for afternoon tea and can recommend it. Friendly staff and excellent service.

Stunning hotel & the loveliest staff. My wife & I stayed in the junior suite as were visiting friends who live locally for a fancy dress party. It’s such a nice change from the corporate world to have such an immaculate, unique, well maintained yet traditional style hotel. Everything about our stay was perfect. Tracey and her team were welcoming, friendly and couldn’t have been better. The grounds are really well looked after and the breakfast was delicious. We will be back.

Our room in the converted milking parlour was spacious and lovely and the food at dinner was terrific. Their chef is a gem. Breakfast was a (minor) letdown - we felt it was rather basic given the price we had paid and if you wanted a flat white or Americano instead of the filter coffee you had to pay (top dollar) extra.

Warmly greeted on arrival , good atmosphere in restaurant. Given time to look at menu. Whilst awaiting starters two different amuse bouches served , both very tasty. Starters :- Trout and corned beef , both enjoyable. The accompaniments to the main elements enhanced their taste. Main :- Shortrib of beef just right , carrots far too hard and were left on plate ,neither of us like undercooked vegetables.. Tenderloin of pork plus pork belly excellent , sauces tasty. Dessert :- Poached rhubarb strips on top of a vanilla custard castle. Chocolate fondant with soft centre . Both provided a pleasant end to the meal. Bottle of wine with meal , a bit on the expensive side. Service efficient , polite and cheerful , no complaints.

We enjoyed a delicious 3 course Sunday lunch - the pork belly was melt in your mouth, the camembert starter was lovely and the sticky toffee pudding was on point. Much higher quality than you'd expect for the pricing.

We had not been able to dine here for 2 years with covid and health issues. The reception we received was wonderful as usual. The food was excellent and the service top notch. Value for money is as good as anywhere. For £55 for the 3 course menu we had 6 courses with pre starter, starter, pre main,main,predessert and dessert. All excellent quality. Well done to Judy, Jane and the whole team.

Lovely lovely lovely. We had a one night stay and a three course meal. Couldn’t fault it. This was our second stay and looking forward to staying again. It’s very quiet and peaceful.

Nothing short of outstanding. Beautifully prepared and presented food, amazing tastes, and first class friendly service. I have to say faultless. Such a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere to enjoy top class food. Very good value for money.

The dining room upstairs has good ambiance , the service was good though not perfect , but the star of the show was the food. From the amuse bouche, to the starters, to the mains, to the desserts the food was of the highest quality. Beautifully presented with interesting ingredients and perfectly balanced flavours each dish was a pleasure to eat. We were saying to ourselves that the quality of the food was reaching Michelin star standards so I highly reccommend a visit.

Visited for Sunday lunch. Nice new modern building with the restaurant situated on the first floor. Had the mussels for starters and the beef roast for mains. Both dishes were delicious and perfectly prepared. The service was excellent as well. Worth visiting for a meal if you're in the area.

A superb meal in this converted Dutch barn. Very good choice, beautifully cooked, presented and served. Good choice of sensibly priced wines. A lovely evening.

We stayed here with two other couples and we all agreed this is a fabulous place. The staff were very friendly & helpful the rooms spacious and the food superb. Well worth a visit we look forward to returning.

From the friendly greeting on reception to the quiet attentiveness of the restaurant team, everyone is there to make your visit amazing. And the food, every mouthful of every course a delight. Didn’t want the evening to end. Thank you.

We were not dissappointed in our 1st visit food was simply beautiful the restaurant is very modern staff friendly and service was very good

Thought we were on the set of Master Chef ! What a fabulous meal ! Cannot fault it ........... food was just excellent and service was nothing short of First Class. One of the best meals we have ever had during all our many travels...

Great food, average ambience, portions could have been slightly bigger. Excellent service from very helpful staff.

Have always wanted to try and based on prior reviews I had high expectations. Maybe that is the problem. Whilst the restaurant was full, the design and maybe the table positioning made it feel bland and devoid of atmosphere. The food (C£48.00 for 3 courses)...

I will review this for the food, and I will be critical in line with the steep price. We went there to celebrate a 90th birthday party. The menu is very expensive for Worcs, £48 pp for 3 courses, plus service. The food is just...

We took my uncle for afternoon tea at Eckington Manor. We were seated downstairs where it was very cosy. I had rung up and asked if I could pay in advance to ensure that my uncle didn't try to pay and they were very accommodating. I had been asked if there were any dietary requirements and I said that I wasn't aware of any. Unfortunately, when the afternoon tea arrived, my uncle said he wasn't able to have brown bread for medical reasons. The very friendly staff arranged for further white sandwiches to be made. The festive Afternoon Tea was delightful. lovely finger sandwiches (which was handy having the extra as we were all very hungry having been stuck in M5 traffic jams for hours) the crispest, lightest smoked salmon quiches, sausage roll slices, light scones and a selection of delightful cakes, the best of which was a cherry mousse and chocolate confection.The pots of tea just kept coming and although the other diners had long left, they did not hurry us and actually told us to stay as long as we liked.I would highly recommend this and will certainly return in the future.

Despite not having to pay can say that the staff were excellent .,if not betterHad a fantastic dinner, maybe I thought it was slightly small in quantity but in hindsight it was enough and tasted greatAll the staff were superb in all aspects , looking after their guests and great serviceWould recommend

Looked up the venue for a mid point rendezvous, interesting hidden away location but rather eclectic. Service was great and the food was good. Probably a good place for a quiet, away from everything escape.

Groups of us gathered here after attending family funeral, and due to some local flooding took a tour of the countryside to get there. Friendly greeting and very attentive staff made us welcome to a room over looking the flooded fields. Offered tea or coffee which was brought to us as we gathered, some having struggled to find the place. Nice selection of food from the buffet table, plus the helpful staff bringing various goodies to temp us. Relaxing setting, idea for our purpose.

We had Sunday lunch here and it was a great experience. It was a party of ten and we were greeted at the door and taken to our table in the light and airy restaurant. The service was excellent as was the food, the staff could not do enough for you and made you feel at home and relaxed. I couldn't fault the experience and will certainly be going back.

We enjoyed another lovely Sunday Lunch yesterday, and the staff and service were fantastic as usual - 10/10.

Just wonderful! Taster menu as a treat from our friends and the courses were really tasty, beautifully presented and served by great staff. Highly recommend

The Manor is a hotel with a small restaurant. We had an evening meal to celebrate our 33 rd Wedding Anniversary. The restaurant is in a separate building on the second floor. There is lots of free parking. The restaurant has only 16 tables so it is best to book a table well ahead. You can look at the menu on the internet. The evening meal has three courses for £48 and two free Starters. The food is excellent and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is very relaxing. The staff are all polite and very friendly. We had a wonderful evening. The dress is smart casual.

We stayed here at the bed and breakfast for three nights and stayed in the old manor. We could not fault anything about the place. The room was beautiful and the housekeeping came in everyday. Everybody made us feel very welcome and could not do enough for you. The breakfast was amazing I personally would highly recommend the vegetarian breakfast and the fruit salad is delicious. If you are in the area it’s a must stay. There is ample car parking and beautiful outdoor space to sit and relax. We could not recommend it highly enough. Thank you for an amazing stay

We have just enjoyed dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. There was a good choice on the menu and dishes looked great as well as tasting good.

Came here on a secret escapes deal although opted to upgrade to the tasting menu.

We booked for dinner here as a special treat for my mothers 89th birthday and what a treat. We were unaware of the change in chef, but if you are concerned about that don't be. We all enjoyed the three course £48 menu, between the 5 of us sampling most of the options. The two amuse bouch courses (trout tartar and gazpacho) caused cutlery confusion but were excellent. And each subsequent course were beautifully presented and cooked and seasoned perfectly. The staff were helpful and friendly, adapting the service to suit our progress.

We dined here on Saturday evening.Upon arrival we both were surprised that we were not eating at the Eckington Manor House!!Instead we were upstairs in what felt like a garden centre cafe overlooking the car park..

We went here for my son's 18th birthday meal as a family of four. We like fine dining and were happy to spend a little more for some good food. Sadly my son had had an accident a few days earlier (two broken arms and a broken jaw!), so although he felt fit enough to go, I had to call the restaurant beforehand to let them know. They were helpfulness itself - and we agreed that there would be plenty on the menu that he could manage.

A last minute search revealed Eckington Manor no more than a short drive away as other known options fell away. And how pleased and surprised we were. From the phone call late friday to rocking up on the saturday and ending chatting with the staff at the end of the evening, everything was just, well, wonderful. Ambience, friendliness, attention, quality and quantity just right. Menu not overly extensive but that matters not a jot as the effort evidently goes into the quality of the ingredients and cooking. Will we be back? Oh yes.

So, we've been meaning to head here ever since Mr Stinchcombe won Professional Masterchef, but erratic restauraunt dinner dates meant we couldn't do so until now - but when we called we found that Mr. Stinchcombe has left this year. I suggested we pull out but my wife said the receptionist was extremely nice and extolled the virtues of the new Chef - Mehdi Amiri. I checked his CV - some time at The Fat Duck, The Ritz, Le Manoir etc. - so I cut him some slack.

This was our second visit to this lovely restaurant and we had an amazing evening. Our only difficulty was deciding what to choose from the menu!

Warm, fresh and very tasty bread. Quick service. Small, but tasty starters. Main portion also a little small, but so nicely cooked, my sea bass was delicious, tender, moist. The vegetables accompanying it were really tasty. Perfect. Lovely views. Good table spacing. Good lighting. Interesting China for presentation. Fair price- not cheap, but for example bottled water at £3.5 is fine. I get irritable if its £5 or more. A good recommendation, from our hoste at a local Airbnb.

Visited Eckington Manor with friends and we all choose the taster menu , it was amazing , every course a treat with little add on surprises

We went here for a three course lunch and every single detail was superb. The beetroot and goat's cheese starter I had was excellent, and was exactly the kind of fresh tasting dish you want at this time of year. The sea bream I had for a main was cooked absolutely perfectly, which takes some skill as every time I've had this fish in other restaurants the thinner edges of the fish have always been a bit tough. I finished the meal with some lovely local cheeses, which were beautifully presented.

Friendly attentive service but the food rightly steals the show.

Heard great things about this place so was excited to try it, and we weren’t disappointed. All three courses were amazing and the canapé, amuse-bouche and bread made sure we were very full by the end of the evening! The staff were really friendly and attentive, I can see how some people might be perturbed by the service charge being already added onto the bill, but in my opinion they earn every penny of it. Would happily return.

After seeing master chef this restaurant has been on our wish list to visit for ages. It did not disappoint. We came for my partners birthday and both absolutely loved it. We had the 3 course meal for £48 and it was very good value, good portion sizes and every plate was genuinely delicious. The chicken butter was so good we couldn’t stop eating it. I ended the meal with the banana soufflé and it was amazing. I think you could order anything off the menu and it wouldn’t disappoint. Good choice of wines, friendly and attentive staff. Just wished we lived closer to pop back again quicker!

My wife bought me a cookery school class as a gift and we both attended this past Saturday. It was a four hour street food course. We had a great time under very good tutelage and learnt new techniques and taste combinations. Well worth signing up! We stayed the night in the wonderful 900 year old manor house and had a fabulous, Michelin-class three course evening meal late in the evening. The service was excellent, professional and friendly, and the food was of a very high standard. We have eaten in starred restaurants over the years and this was as good. Smoked duck starter was tremendous; the Hake main was married to its ingredients perfectly. I would thoroughly recommend for a delightful break away from stressful environments. Working in London daily is a world away from this, and we finished with a lovely walk up and around Bredon Hill on the Sunday. Highly recommend.

Booked to have the "taster menu", whilst I fully expect tiny portions I was surprised at how small these were. I admit the taste was excellent and presentation faultless however we felt overcharged for what we received. The drinks were expensive also. Would I go again?..maybe, but I would select from the menu next time.

Had a super Sunday lunch at Eckington Manor, food was beautiful and the service was spot on!! We would definitely recommend and can’t wait to return!! Thank you for a lovely day

I had very high hopes of this restaurant - the chef is a Masterchef winner and quite rightly his trophy is proudly displayed in the reception area.

Country location. Very warm welcome.

Having heard good things about Eckington Manor we decided to venture there for a celebratory meal on Saturday night. The experience from start to finish was fantastic. The service was marvelous and the food was to die for Thank you, we had a wonderful time and will be back very soon.

We have made a return visit to Eckington and found the restaurant is every bit as good as the first time. We were at the New Year’s Eve special and special is the word. The service was better than ever, the food outstanding and the wine flight recommended was perfectly judged. I repeat, it’s not cheap but it is really good. It must be the best restaurant for miles.

Haven’t been for a while. Nice setting. Good ambience. Simple menu.

The food was superb, the service excellent and the price reasonable for such high quality food. I've been wanting to go for ages, ever since seeing the chef win MasterChef professionals. It certainly did not disappoint! Can't wait to go again!

This is our second visit to celebrate friends birthday. It's in a lovely setting and we had the table near the window so nice and bright even though it was a dull day outside. Much quieter this time so atmosphere not the same however didn't spoil our visit.

Incredible multicourse dinners. Good choices. Everthing was delicious. Do not miss the passion fruit souffle desert! English breakfast was excellent. Continental is also available.

You know you are in for a good meal ,freshly prepared and cooked , when you see a limited menu . That is the great thing about Eckington..

Second visit here, the first was for a Sunday lunch so we were looking forward to revisiting for dinner. Well worth the wait, wonderful food. Four of us eating and we made a point of each trying a different dish so we could compare them all. Every dish was excellent as was the wine. The experience was good value but did feel that the wine was a little pricey. the setting and the staff were lovely. Highly recommend.

Wonderful nights stay and meal in the outstanding restaurant. Beautiful room. Food is incredible. Great wine list and pre dinner cocktails as well.

You could not ask for better food, more attentive service or better ambience. It’s not cheap at around £150 for two with wine and tip, but it’s emphatically good value. We loved it.

Tucked away in a quiet backwater of Eckington, the venue has adequate parking for the number of covers and staying guests. The presentation of the food and the natural flavours was delightful, and we were grateful for the leisurely and unrushed service which enabled us to enjoy and digest each morsel. As the lunchtime menu changes regularly, it would be unfair to highlight a dish in case it was not available on the day of a visit. All-in-all our party admitted it was one of the best lunchtime experiences, and the venue is strongly recommended to those with a taste for good food.

The attraction is the chef with his TV achievements to reassure us before we got there. And we weren't let down. The food is quite superb: marvellous duck, excellent sea bram. What's odd is that the large dining room is soul-less. It's a big space with grey decor and very minimalist. Somehow, though, it's an unexciting environment. The service was fine, but it was mainly by gap year undergraduates waiting to start uni. That's fine unless you have a question about the wine. The wine list is not nearly as extensive as you'd expect from a place as 'fine' as this, although there is a token Ch Figeac at £265 a bottle. Perhaps you have to stay there in the Elizabethan building to get a true flavour of the 'Manor' and a meal alone won't give it to you.

Excellent evening meal: Lobster & Tomato starter, Pork Belly and Foie Gras main and Chocolate dessert. The Pork Belly and Foie Gras was Michelin star standard, the starter was very good. The dessert looked amazing, but the tastes were dull.

We stayed overnight on a Saturday night for my wife's birthday treat. The food was lovely and the location allowed us to have a walk the next morning along the river to walk off breakfast! The dining room is airy and a lovely space but the tables are quite close together; not a problem unless the people at the next table are loud or obnoxious! We had a really special meal and would definitely go back.

Our first time for lunch at Eckington Manor and what a treat!

Dined here Saturday evening ..food was outstanding couldnt find a single fault with any of the dishes..and must mention the service staff who were superb..will be returning very soon

Our first visit interesting flavours great combinations the “fresh” Evesham tomato With 3 pieces of lobster starter was exquisite.

We had booked a while ago and about coming for dinner to celebrate a special event. We arrived at 7:45 and the venue looked very promising. However we had noted a large party of approximately 20 people on the front lawn and my heart sank slightly. When we went into the restaurant we were not asked if we wanted to sit and have a drink but Ushered straight upstairs. I guess they wanted to try and get our irder into the kitchen before the large group were going to eat.

Our first visit and what a lovely surprise. The food is wonderful, unusual ingredients with marvellous flavours, served by charming and well trained staff. The atmosphere is extremely relaxed with none of the stiffness to be encountered by a lot of lesser establishments.

We came across Eckington Manor almost by chance, and were so delighted we did. We had a really wonderful meal, and thought it was one of the best restaurants we have visited for a long time. Great cuisine, beautifully presented- just lovely!! Service was excellent too, and the setting relaxed and comfortable. And all at a very reasonable price, given the quality. We will most certainly be back.

I booked dinner on a Fri evening as a surprise for my husband’s birthday. I had also booked us both onto one of the cookery courses with Mark Stinchcombe himself, for Oct. On arrival, I had managed to arrange for Mark to come and present my husband with his ‘gift’ whilst enjoying a G&T; on the patio outside, which he did and it was perfect. We had a really nice chat with Mark (which I believe was made possible as it was before service) and it was a lovely way to start the evening.

In the nice area of Cotswold in a small quiet and nice village. It is located in the middle of the nice Eckington Manor hotel. It offers very well prepared dishes out of selected ingredients in some cases within the English tradition. But also in some cases integrating Mediterranean flavours

I’ve just had a fabulous lunch with my family at Eckington Manor today. Mark Stinchcombe, you truly deserved your Masterchef trophy. It was amazing amazing food and the staff couldn’t do enough to help with my disabled mum in a wheelchair. If only everywhere was as helpful and thoughtful. So lovely to see Mark hard at work in the kitchen too and smiling as he did so. Homemade bread was delicious and the food was all top quality and beautifully presented. Not cheap but excellent value for the location and standard of food.

We stayed at the hotel for two nights- amazing experience, very relaxing surroundings, beautiful gardens, it’s a world on its own! On the down side the room was very small for the price we were paying. Hesitant to think how much the bigger rooms costs!

A table for six people was booked well in advance as I know how popular this restaurant/hotel is. My sister & her husband came up from the Isle-of-Wight to stay at The Manor for two nights. They were incredibly impressed with their room. We were greeted by Judy Garner, the owner, who remembered us from last time. Huge smiles from ALL the staff and absolutely no rush. Pre-dinner drinks were served in their nice little downstairs bar and then we were escorted upstairs to our table. A lift is available for any disabled person.

Deliciously tasty food, beautiful surroundings, attentive service - what more can you ask for? We’d recommend without hesitation.

Just had lunch At Eckington Manor with a friend yesterday, and both came away huge fans and planning to return, They have only recently started lunch (Thursday-Saturday) having previously just been open evenings and Sunday lunch, which is not my favourite meal. The setting is gorgeous, the hotel estate a perfect cross of contemporary (the dining room, kitchen and cookery school are in a converted dutch barn across the courtyard from the medieval main hotel building). The rapid fixe menu was perfect, and we both struggled a little to narrow down our selections. Everything we ate was beautifully prepared and presented, and delicious. It's fancy food and the portions are perfectly pitched for a multi course meal. Val had a chicken terrine with some delicate pickled vegetables (more than a garnish, but not too much) followed by a fat loin of hake. I had the creamy soup (was it cauliflower?) with a single largish tortellini in it followed by lamb shoulder with just enough portions of delicate mash and broccoli with some lovely purees - thankfully, not just smears (if it's good enough to be served on your plate there needs to be enough to actually eat). We had been unsure we'd be up for puds, but managed a very rich salted caramel tart with milk ice cream and a dainty slice of baked custard on the lightest of pastry bases, with a tart rhubarb sorbet and confit rhubarb. The service was outstanding, too. And the views from the 1st floor dining room across the Worcestershire countryside were just lovely. Altogether, I can't recommend this highly enough. My experience has been long waiting lists to get a table for the more established Sunday lunch service, and I urge everyone to get there for what must be a more interesting and diverse menu on other days.

It is incomprehensible how the Michelin inspectors can have omitted to include Eckington Manor into their stellar galaxy. The kitchen brigade produces food on an exceptional level , both in terms of imagination and technical expertise - as befits the winner of the "2016 Masterchef, The Profssionals " head chef Mark Stitchcombe.

The food at Eckington manor is a constant array of flavours that you will not find anywhere else, presented in a way you won't find anywhere else, and is an absolute delight. I dream of being able to cook like this. Service is friendly, knowledgable and unobtrusive.

What I can say is I was advised to try Eckington Manor,and it did not let down food of the highest quality and I've been fortunate to eat in some very good one's and this matched them all, service excellent and nothing was too much trouble,a great experience which most definitely will be repeated,thank you for a great pre Cheltenham races night .

Fabulous!!!! If you want to eat wonderful food, cooked to perfection (by Mark- winner of BBC Masterchef the Professionals) book. If you want a beautifully designed bedroom with a quirky slant( our bedroom was in the cider press barn) then book. Lastly if you want unforgettable customer service, who make you feel at home, then book. Thank you all for making my birthday very special. We will return. X

Arrived in the evening for my 66th birthday. Only 3 couples were booked into the restaurant that night. Service at the bar was excellent and the restaurant was intimate and dark which probably explained why the three waiting staff never noticed our wine glasses were empty....for £147 for two l usually expect and get my wine glass filled without asking. The short rib was well cooked and the puddings were excellent but we both thought that the food was too rich in flavour, something l have never said before. We came out feeling slightly queasy.
