Ounce At The Dolphin in Wychavon

Good food and service, clean . Tuesday and Wednesday only £1 an ounce for steak.

Overpriced really nothing special marginally better than a Miller and Carter

The food was exceptional, with the beef cooked to perfection. However, I was informed over the phone before booking that it would be their ‘pound-an-ounce’ day, only to discover upon arrival that this wasn’t the case. Unfortunately, the service was horrendous. We waited over an hour for our mains, and the preparation of a few small desserts took nearly as long. While I cannot fault the quality of the food—it was delicious and expertly prepared—the poor service completely ruined the experience, leaving us disappointed. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

Great steaks. Took the mac and cheese away in doggie bag so that it could be fully appreciated later. Good desserts. Comfy chairs.

We was all disappointed 😞 the beef was the best. But we was all still hungry after. The service was terrible we never got our last order of drinks. We just left. There was 6 off us and to be honest we will not return. So sad 😞

Our 1st time here on recommendation, Sunday 29th September 24. Busy 14:00 table. Roast beef M/R lunch & the steaks we ordered were all excellent, cooked to perfection, 1st class accompaniments, all seasoned nicely, with a tremendous shine on the jus. Great presentation. Also noticed the specials boards with some excellent offers. Our compliments to the Chef. 2 large tables with in a tiny room meant the volume was deafening but will return soon. I’m sure. A great village local with some excellent beers & wines. Many thanks Adams.

The meal was nice however very over priced for what it is. They forgot the starter and also a drink, improvement needed for the price that they are commanding.

It's just lovely steak and great service what more do you need?

Really extraordinarily great food and service...still trying new places to eat in the area and this by FAR is the best we have found in 2 years...staff friendly and attentive and served us promptly and professionally...if you are having a special get together....I can not recommend Ounce more highly. The steaks were second to none and the chef has mastered his craft...go on....treat yourself.😍

Visited on a Wednesday, giving us the option of the Butchers Cuts at a pound per ounce. Very tasty steak, starters were great (Mushroom on toast). There are a range of other cuts to choose from and as a meat lover, you're well catered for. Staff are friendly and service on the day we were there was swift and efficient.

Food is even better - if that can be believed! Highly recommend the food and service!

Friday Tomahawk night is well worth a visit and really good value at £40 for 2. Nice cocktails

Best steak of my life and welcoming friendly staff, highly recommend.

Honestly the best steak we've ever had

excellent in any way, highly appreciated and reccomend

Visited yesterday (Thursday) when by chance they have the Chateaubriand on special at lunch for £30 for two people. An extra for £4 two portions of chips and the same for some cauliflower cheese. We what a superb meal. Cooked to medium rare the meat melts in the mouth and is full of flavour unlike so many restaurants. £8.50 for a 250ml glass of delicious Shiraz on the side and we were good to go. This place is fantastic no two ways about it. We ate a lot of other things which we absolutely didn't need. We are just greedy people 😱 bu that beef will long live in the meal. The best beef I have ever eaten. Well you know what, just maybe! 😋

Only criticism was the outrageous price of the sauces. But otherwise all good 🙏

Where to begin, who knew a piece of bread dipped in a meaty jus could taste this good. Chateaubriand was cooked and seasoned to perfection, even the chips were next level. Friendly and hyper efficient service, cannot recommend this place enough .

From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome, the service was excellent and attentive. The actual place itself was lovely and had a nice feel to it. The food, well oh my god, best steak and Jus ever. Me and my partner have been to ounce in Worcester but this is the first time for my daughter and son, they loved it and finished their plates off, absolutely stunning Thank you for a lovely birthday meal.

Disappointed this time. Great welcome that’s where it stopped. Service was sloppy and slow. Gravy thrown over us by accident was icing on cake. The beef itself on the Sunday lunch was excellent five star but … Bone marrow jus far too Salty Dirty Mash lumpy and dinner came out but sides took forever and our drinks order was slow. we have been here twice before and it was excellent / this time - they let the standards drop.

Wonderful food. The staff were great; friendly and helpful. Lovely looking place with a nice beer garden/outdoor eating space. It was dog friendly as well, which is another bonus

The food is so, so good. Lovely atmosphere and very lovely staff!

Medium 14oz butcher’s cut £14 delicious

Best steak I’ve ever had! Some great deals as well, making it very affordable

We visited here for the Ounce steaks £1 per ounce on a Wednesday. We thought the deal sounded too good to resist so had to visit. The steaks and parmesan chips were very nice. You could tell they were top quality cuts of beef and had been cooked very carefully. The only let down was the creamy leeks and broccoli sides. They sounded really good on the menu, but when we started to eat them we found that they were undercooked and hard. I regret not ordering the mac and cheese, as that looked yummy!

First visit, very impressed. Very friendly welcome Simple menu Fabulous ribeye Great all round

You get what you pay for! Absolutely stunning food, gorgeous setting and exceptional customer service. We will most definitely return. Thank you.

Always a 10/10 Sunday Roast! Have been plenty of times and will continue to return 😊 staff are always amazing. See you all again soon

The steaks first and foremost was very good, however let down by poor service. Waitress extremely forgetful and not really paying attention.

We visited Ounce for Sunday lunch in May and had a lovely time with great food. We asked for extra gravy and were supplied with it immediately with no charge. The waiter was also very friendly and helpful. On our return visit in June for Sunday lunch, the food was still great. However, our waiter was the not the best and insisted we had to pay an extra £5 for a tiny jug of gravy. The gravy that was on the meal when it was bought to the table was minimal and I am fairly sure most people would have requested extra. Although the food was as good as the first time the charge of £5 for gravy and the unhelpful waiter have put us off from visiting in the near future.

The atmosphere was great and the steaks were superb on their £1 an Ounce menu. Would highly recommend

We went for birthday day meals on 22nd of May 4 of us we were ordered fillet steaks the texture of steak superb 😋 the restaurant nice and clean plus the service fast and friendly and now just booked for our anniversary again highly recommended to everyone..cheers.xxx

Lovely roast for my Dad's birthday!

Excellent food, good range of drinks, friendly attentive staff 👌

Excellent cocktails and grilled beef cuts.

Absolutely Epic, Very highly recommend 👌

Very nice food, just a little overpriced,

The steak is unbelievable I won't go anywhere else, value for money along with happy and friendly staff make a wonderful experience.

Food was excellent. Great find.

My partner and I, along with my son and his partner, had Sunday lunch here last week. Unfortunately, it was not a great experience. The food was OK nothing special and if you order the beef be aware it says medium rare on the menu but comes rare and bloody I would have sent it back but the main issue was not the food and drink but some of the the other people/family in there. There was a large family group spread over several tables with young children that basically were running riot sliding around the floor, running around shouting and making a real nuisance of themselves. The parents couldn't care less, and the staff said and did nothing. Hence, the reason I didn't send my food back as all I wanted was to finish and get out as soon as possible. On a final note, the cheesecake I had was a very small portion, very dry and definitely not worth the price. In all, it was a very disappointing experience after hearing such good things about this place, and my son and his partner have been several times and had a lot better experience such a shame.

Excellent starters and main course steaks. Well priced wines.

Had a Thursday night special and it was best steak I've had in a while

Lissy was lovely today Very good service

We went on a very busy Friday evening. They were a staff member down, and the lassie that looked after us was absolutely run off her feet. Fair play to her; she never lost her cool, always had a smile, and even managed some very awkward customers without dropping her friendly and helpful demeanour. The service was slow due to being a team member down, BUT we were told this at the time of seating, so we could have chosen not stay, but we did stay, and I'm glad we did! Thanks, guys.

Awful experience. Had booked a table for 7 people for 5pm to celebrate a family birthday. We were 10 minutes early so grabbed a drink at the bar and sat outside to wait, as the waitress mentioned our table wasn’t ready for us. Thirty minutes had passed to find out that our table still wasn’t ready as the people before us were still eating their pudding, and would probably be another 15-20 minutes before it’d be ready. Unfortunately we weren’t willing to wait, and potentially sit down to our table 40 minutes later than booked. We won’t be returning.

We visited Ounce to celebrate family birthday and it exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in, the warm welcome and attentive service made us feel special. The food was exceptional – the steaks were cooked to perfection, and the veggie option I chose was also delicious. This being our first visit, we were impressed by the overall ambiance and the attention to detail. Not only will we be returning for more delightful meals, but we’ll also be recommending Ounce to friends and family.

Gastro pub reataurent for steak lovers. No point in going on a weekday and not ordering the special offer that day. We went on a Thursday and had chateaubriand for two. Delicious.

Hiked an 11km circular walk ending with a burger here. We will absolutely be planning more trips. Incredibly well priced and one of the best I've had in the UK.

Ate there last night. Was my fourth time at Ounce in Bishampton. The previous three occasions I ordered medium and got rare so, for the first time ever, last night I ordered medium- well done and it still came out rare and fleshy in the middle way too undercooked for my liking. I had to leave some parts as I just didn't enjoy it. One positive - the young male waiter was fantastic. I give him alone 5 stars.

Superb staff and great food. Highly recommend 👌

Great place for quality steak which can be very hard to find these days, eaten here many times and the other restaurant in worcester, my only complaint would be about the sides, lack of and the quality of them.

Went for a meal on a Saturday night. Booked ahead, but it wasn't too busy, so it may be possible to get a table without booking. The service was pretty good; as we were early we decided to have a drink by the bar before going to sit at the table. Once we were seated we were left for maybe a little too long with the menu, but we were in no hurry. Once we had ordered everything went very smoothly. We opted for just one bread and jus for starters which was a delicious precursor to the main meal, the bread toasted nicely on the outside and airy enough to soak up the delicious jus superbly. The steaks were fantastic: Dexter Sirloin was large and tender and cooked perfectly (medium rare as requested) and the fillet likewise - the latter a bargain compared to usual restaurant fillet prices and the 14oz larger than most I've seen. The sides were a little underwhelming; the chips soft and oily, although the truffle and parmesan version were tasty nonetheless, and the tenderstem broccoli could have done with another minute, and maybe a bit less parmesan melted over it (in fact, maybe a dry parmesan/breadcrumb mix would be better on both this and the chips, it was a bit melted cheese overload), but they were OK accompaniments to the main stars, the steaks. The steaks really are fantastic. Not being a mushroom fan, I left the flat mushrooms that come as standard, but I had some of the tasty tarragon oil from the top of them which makes me think I need to try the Bernaise sauce next time. There is a small but varied - and reasonably priced - wine list to choose from, plus all the usual bar drinks (again, decently priced). Nice espresso martinis! I'll happily go and eat there again. In fact, I will! (I might try and leave room for a starter and/or dessert, too). A tiny bit more care on the sides and this would be the perfect meal.

Prefect..£ a Ounce..see you again soon.

What a super Sunday lunch. The first time we’ve been after it was recommended. Roast beef Sunday dinner was outstanding seriously good, we will return in fact have already rebooked

Food served next to bar area. Very noisy. Were seated but waited a long time for waiter to take drinks order and another wait for food order.

Went there last night for family birthday meal and had a superb evening. The staff were amazing and food superb. Can’t wait to return. Thank you Ounce at Bishampton

Food quality is excellent, ingredients very very good. Disappointment that half of starters were off the menu. Service was adequate as one staff member was running all covers and the bar. Atmosphere wasn't great as it was lacking a buzz, more staff would have helped but appreciate the cost balance. £55/head is pricey for a pub meal. Would we go again? Hmm...

This was our first visit to Ounce at The Dolphin. We weren't disappointed. We have been to Ounce, Worcester on many occasions. Brad continues to be the perfect host and very welcoming. Anastasio & the Team were excellent in looking after us and did so with some polite conversation. Incredibly personable. The food was amazing! We have never been disappointed with the high standard that the chefs deliver, on every occasion. The vibe of the new place is very much more relaxed. Love Worcester, but have to say, felt very much more relaxed here and so much so, that we didn't rush off after our meal, not as though we ever feel that we have to rush of in Worcester :-). Brad & Team, you've done brilliantly at Bishampton. We shall look forward to our next visit!

The most incredible lunchtime steak sandwich

We went last night Thursday 9th of November, and had the best steak we have eaten. The young staff were excellent .10 out of ten. John and Gill from St Helens.

Great food and great service. Booked a table for 2 with a pram and they were more than accommodating. Will definitely return.

Great service today along with a fantastic Sunday lunch. We are already planning to return.

Visited on Sunday evening with my family including my grandson aged three. Great atmosphere, v friendly. Food great, beef was the best I've had in a long time. Very well cooked, so tender. Good selection of drinks.

A very nice Sunday roast with a few crisp lagers.

I don't normally review many places but, felt this deserves one. Possibly the best Sunday roast I have had and the 3 others who I dined with agree. We all went for a Sunday roast. Two of us has lamb. One chicken. One beef. My lamb was cooked beautifully and the vegetables were spot on also. Service was great also. Very professional and welcoming. I would highly recommend to anyone. The only negative was having only 1 slice of lamb but apart from this, dinner was perfect We will be back 😁

First time Ounce has ever disappointed, excellent service, great night. Look forward to going back to get the usual 5* food

A late Saturday afternoon lunch with my 84 year old mum. She'd never had such a lovely steak she said. Lovely cauliflower cheese and burgers too. Ambiance and service brilliant, clean and with comfortable chairs. Well worth a 30 minutes drive, we'll be back!

Great service and atmosphere. We had a delicious sharing Camembert to start, served with light bread and chutney. The chateaubriand was so soft and the peppercorn sauce amazing. Wasn’t our first visit and won’t be our last. Thank you

Brilliant food and great atmosphere.

Worth a visit a very nice country pub, very busy so you probably need to book to ensure you can get a table.

My wife and i came for a meal on the 3rd October and it was absolutely delightful meal and service, The young waitress was really polite, bubbly and helpful. Will 100% be coming back. Thank you 🙂

Delicious food with good sized portions, service while waiting for a drinks was a little slow, however the staff were friendly. Would give 4.5 stars if the system allowed it

The pound an ounce steak deal is fantastic value. Well worth a visit. Service is friendly and polite, food came promptly and tasted delicious. We sat in the rear patio area as it was a warm evening.

Absolutely amazing! We both said it was the best roast we’d ever had in our life - no exaggeration! Impeccable service and food was to die for.

Absolutely fantastic place. Lovely decor and ambiance; we were looked after superbly by Anastasio and the team - it was lovely to see how passionate they all were about the food and drink; happy to make excellent personal suggestions and nothing was too much trouble - really welcoming and fun. The food was top notch - especially the massive hunk of Dexter sirloin, which was probably the best steak I’ve ever had; whether in the UK or the States. Great wine and cocktail list. Definitely upgrade to the truffle and Parmesan fries - total decadence! Can’t wait to come back

Very disappointing. Steak was tough and poorly presented. Staff not interested and didn't offer to replace.Side salad ordered with seafood risotto just a handful of wilted rocket leaves. Seafood risotto had 1 prawn and 1 lump of some other fish. Very expensive £87 per couple for poor quality.

Fabulous steak, beautifully cooked. Hot plates! Great sides. Chocolate mousse was gorgeous. Service impeccable and staff very attentive and friendly but not intrusive. A great night out. Will go again.

So lucky to have such an amazing place in Bishampton! Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and great service. Thank you 😊

Steak was good. It does get very busy, though , excellent portions and their own larger is very good.

My first visit here, a shame that it's 30 miles from home. It was for my sons 40th birthday celebration. Wednesday night so it was exceedingly busy, all tables taken, so booking essential. Food was taking about 20-25 minutes to arrive but as it's all cooked to order,that was acceptable. The offer of £1 per ounce for the Butcher's cut is a winner to keep this place packed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The meat served is so tasty and succulent. The side of Cauliflower cheese was sufficient to share and perfectly cooked,no hard veg here!!! Chips are crisp and flavourful and served in a metal container so they keep hot. The staff were friendly and efficient, all young, possibly students. Car parking behind the pub and across the front was full when we arrived so had to park on the road. I hope the local residents appreciate having a successful business on their doorstep as the parking might be an issue otherwise!!! My husband tried the locally brewed Ounce lager and said it was a good pint. My blackcurrant cordial was pretty average (!) but turned up a notch as served in a cut glass tumbler,never had such a beautiful glass in a pub or restaurant before! Well worth a visit ,they do other special offers in the week, so check out if you're a steak lover. Otherwise the menu is pretty limited. There's also an Ounce on The Tything in Worcester. One of our party has a fish allergy, she was impressed when the waitress advised her that the peppercorn sauce had Worcester sauce in it which contains a trace of anchovies , she cancelled the order and avoided any reaction. We'll done to the chef for being on the ball even on a busy evening. All together a pleasant evening, good to see this relatively new venture doing so well in difficult times. Access is up steps or a ramp.

I took my husband here for his 60th birthday, and we can’t wait to go back! The service was excellent and the food was amazing. For our main course, I had the butcher’s cut steak, cooked bleu, it was cooked as it should be, delicious, and fantastic value at £1 an ounce. Hubby had the Pichana steak cooked rare, and it was beautifully tender and succulent. The creamy peppercorn sauce and the sumptuously rich butcher’s jus were the perfect accompaniments. Our starters (fillet carpaccio and Spanish gambas) were also packed full of flavour. Our compliments also go to Charlie, our server. She provided excellent service and helped us out with some recommendations when we asked.

Table for 8 booked for a Sunday lunch to celebrate a family birthday. All meals were excellent with 2 young children being catered for very well. Staff were friendly and attentive without being in any way intrusive or rushing us. Highly recommend the Sunday Treat Butcher's Board.

We are lucky enough to call this our local and I’m a big fan. On Sunday we went there for Sunday lunch for the first time. I had the butchers board and my wife and mother had the slow roast beef. Never in my life have I been so impressed with a pub Sunday lunch. The amount of meat was staggering (well cooked as always) and my mum who is hard to please said it was the best meal out she had ever had. High praise indeed. Absolutely stunning and a good price as well.

Food was good but children's meat was far to undercooked and therefore they couldn't eat it. Not set out for children at all. Adults meals were beautifully presented and good!

Went for the pound per ounce special, definitely met up to expectations! Lovely interior and music adding up to a comfortable atmosphere.

We go to the Dolphin with fair regularity, the venue is consistently excellent with prompt service, very good food, clean & managed by a guy called Brad who could not be better. I really really rate this place.

We came on a Tuesday for pound an ounce and I cannot recommend highly enough! The food was amazing and Charlotte D provided an exceptional service. Very pleased and we will definitely be visiting again! Thank you!

Amazing food and great cocktails, plus served by friendly staff - especially Charlotte D I would highly recommend dining here

Superb value for money, lovely location and delightful staff. A place that would be appreciated by the more discerning meat eater.

Absolutely great food ,service was fab with Charlotte D. Best pudding ever, atmosphere was lovely we will be back

Great place, food was fantastic and Charlotte was very helpful

I'd like to say some of my visit here deserved 5 stars, sadly let down by a few things that really should be easily rectified. My Mum and partner took me here for an early 50th birthday celebration. The manager who greeted us was extremely welcoming with a gentle sense of humour and explained our table was nearly ready and served us drinks at the bar. That was the beginning of very good service throughout the night so definitely no complaints in that department. Then the food. Me and my Mum's partner had chateaubriand as it was Thursday so it was £30 rather than usual £72 on other nights. This was the star of the show. The chef had cooked it to perfection. A glorious medium rare. Absolutely bursting with beef flavour and melt in the mouth texture. A newborn baby with no teeth would have no problems eating this. Sadly all the chefs skill stopped whilst they made a bearnaise sauce. What I recieved resembled and tasted like an unseasoned tarragon butter. I'm an ex-chef so know what a bearnaise should look and taste like. I'm not sure how he managed to get that texture. The lack of seasoning was quite a disappointment considering how well the steak was done. The biggest disappointment of the night was my mother's salmon dish. For two reason. It was the fish option and my Mum has been 3 times and says it's always been a salmon as fish option. Does the chef not know how to cook other fish. My suggestion would be tuna or swordfish steaks to fit in with Ounces love of all things steak. The salmon on that night was cooked nicely but came with so many new potatoes and broccoli stem you could barely see it. The pesto was an underwhelming brown concoction not bright green as a fresh pesto sauce should be. Again poor sauce implementation ruining a dish. She left most of it and I would have done the same. Her £10 prawn starter also dissatisfied her as it was one really nice shell on king prawn and then 4 translucent under cooked peeled prawns drowned in some bland oil. I advised her to squeeze all the lime on and put lots of salt and pepper to the oil which helped a little. For £10 starter I'd expect much more than that. My pigeon starter was actually very tasty albeit I needed a microscope to see the actual pigeon breast. Again £9 I'd expect slightly more generous portions. Overall I would go again but only on the nights they offer special offers. I wouldn't want to pay full price. The chef needs to learn sauce cookery and how to season. Also ounce should offer a more varied fish and vegetarian options. I get the whole beef vibe but in this day and age in every group and often couples now not everyone is a massive carnivore. Cater for everyone not just for beef. Tuna and swordfish also can be measured in ounces, Ounce.

Make sure you go on a Thursday as the best cuts are half price, chatubriand for 15 per head is a real steal, flavour was mind blowing presented simply allowing the quality to stand up for itself.

Beautiful steak cooked to perfection, juicy & soft the nicest steak I’ve eaten in the UK. Staff were excellent very attentive. We could also take our dog. Would definitely recommend The Dolphin.

Fabulous steaks served in nice atmosphere. Nice choice of drinks to go with it.

Very clean, tidy and well presented. Brilliant service. We had the chateaubriand which was beautifully cooked. Would definitely return and recommend.

Lovely evening at Ounce. Food was delicious, service excellent, and range of beers and non alcoholic drinks was great.

Such a lovely place! The food was amazing. The service was spot on. The atmosphere was very nice. I will definitely go back next time in England.

Fantastic, great value steak, cooked to perfection. Great food, great atmosphere, will be visiting again ASAP.

Brilliant food excellent value for money great service
