Grill in Wychavon

Special thanks to the kitchen team especially Jay and Luke for an excellent lunch today (22/9); squid was excellent as was the smoked duck salad and the cod dish. Thank you to both. Front of house service was also spot on: Petra, Aaron and Gill.

I love the Lygon, the dinner hall is absolutely beautiful and the Sunday roast are to die for. I highly recommend this place

Overall happy but not ecstatic . Restaurant busy so it took time to take our order. Don't know why but waitresses much better in terms of service, cheerfulness , and efficiency than the waiters. You pour your own wine which I actually prefer to do Amuse bouche pleasant Bread platter unappealing, unappetising and stodgy - don't order. Thai crab risotto pleasant. Very good fillet steak , my wife very pleased . Pork chop also good. Chips served in a metal pot a la Harvester / Vintage Inns trendy but silly idea. Fresh strawberries and cream enjoyable. Ambience good

Booked lunch for my wife’s 49th birthday. Took a steam train (GWSR) from our home town, Cheltenham to Broadway which was wonderful. That’s where the wonder ended. We eat out a lot at places with many stars to a good old local pub and everything in between. I was not expecting high end fine dining just a great brasserie with great service. We spent £330 on 3 courses with 3 glasses of wine and a cocktail each, which was pricey. Service was poor from start to finish. Simple things like wine to go with my starter arrived after I’d finished it and asked where it was. 1 poor waitress was running around whilst 3 or 4 others in suits jackets just stood around. Other low lights include a single tiny scallop for £22, it was hand dived in Scotland but that was outrageous. Tough pork chop, steak which was 30% fat and grissel. Highlights; the cocktails and wine were exceptional as were the side dishes and puddings. If you choose to go, get some cocktails, wine, chips and a couple of knickerbocker glories and you’ll be laughing.

Sunday lunch. This is a beautiful setting. The food, however, was not so good. Burrata with heritage tomatoes and pesto = burrata (can’t mess this up) with two thin slices of tomato, a tasteless pesto and a pile of rocket with a very acidic dressing. Roast beef = two good slices of tender tasty sirloin and good roast carrots and greens. The roast potatoes were hard and obviously sat around for ages, as was the Yorkshire. The staff were helpful and attentive. Two courses for more than £50 was very poor value for this quality of food. Not sure when James Martin last darkened the door? My advice: walk through the hotel, admire the rooms and building and walk straight out again. There are lots of places doing Sunday really well but sadly this not one of them.

Delicious lunch (5/11) in Grill. Food was superb! Service from Petra was first class and the dishes prepared by Rhys and his brigade delightful! The roast was quality and plentiful. All dishes were great! Thank you!

Lunch at the Grill with friends. Very slow service. The drinks took over an hour to appear. The service was all a bit disjointed. A real shame as we have always wanted to visit and stay at the hotel but this lunch experience has put me off. James Martin better pull his socks up
