Raphael's Restaurant in Wychavon

Good location, sadly dogs NOT permitted (I read somewhere they were so don't make the same mistake

The food was amazing with more than ample portions and excellent value for money.

Nice place staff where friendly and helpful beer and food was nice good views of the river would vist again

Ideal place for breakfast, after a walk by the river.

Went just for coffee busy place all the food I saw looked good

Nice clean , friendly place for a bite to eat in lovely surroundings .

Food was fantastic Service was excellent Definitely go there again

We live local so called on in our dog walk for a coffee and cake , coffee was lovely the cake portions were very small and not worth the price charged , no welcome made very blunt staff , it’s in such a lovely position just needs a few more smiles

Lovely spot by the river for drinks and a bite to eat.

Nice decaf coffee, and beans on toast, reasonably priced and decent portions. Pretty good all round.

Came today with family a group of us, in all fairness the sitting area in the middle we did not realize was the restaurants. We had bought our own pop for the children, a man came over and loudly told us were not allowed our own drinks or food and pointed to the sign on the table. The children were then playing with a ball which accidently hit the marquee (not hard) the same man shouted at them so everybody could hear, I turned to ask what he said to them and he said the marquee is hired and not theirs so to be mindful - we apologised. My glass of water with ice in had lipstick all around the rim it was filthy, my partner took it back and the guy behind the bar just snatched it and gave a clean glass with fresh water, no apologies or anything. The whole time we was there the man that first approached us was sat on the benches smoking with some ladies and kept looking over at us, or kept walking past looking at us, whole time we was there we was being watched like hawks absolutely pathetic. The atmosphere was vile. I've never known anything like it. Can't comment on food as we had already ate before we came as we didn't know there was a restaurant but the food being bought out to others looked nice. But atmosphere wise the staff member needs sorting out. The attitude on him was disgusting. Not professional in the slightest.

Deserves more people. Nice beer selection by the river

Visited Evesham and walked the circular Evesham walk and came across this hidden gem. We sat in the garden which is for customers only, which overlooks the River Avon and the hand pulled pedestrian ferry. The two panninis were very generous with fillings, and served with side salads, and the Choca Mocha and Americano were spot on. All of that for £21. Would definitely visit again, and to be honest, I'd be inclined to park there to start my walk around Evesham.

We decided to visit the river and came upon Raphael’s my wife was directed to the outside bar which had no wine she was told the cider she then asked for was flat and the guy then said and we haven’t any spirits either so I decided to go to the main entrance and was stopped by a very rude woman who said to me where do you think ur going I said inside to get a drink she said we’re closed I could see people there so I said there’s people there drinking she said it’s closed because there’s a wedding on as though I had dementia and to go to the outside bar I told this horrible woman I’d take my trade elsewhere avoid this cafe and staff

Visited for breakfast. Decided in the large breakfast for £9. Sat outside on the benches. Beautiful location right on the river. Was so looking forward to a lovely hearty English breakfast next to the beautiful countryside. Sadly despite a gorgeous view and a friendly reception the food was dreadful. I absolutely love a breakfast / brunch but this was the worst I’ve had in years. All of the food had black bits on (but wasn’t well done so can only presume cooked on a dirty grill), the grilled tomato was hard (with black bits on) and tasteless, the sausage was dry and tasteless, and the worst part of all was the mushrooms. They seemed to be tinned mushrooms fried. They looked like snails, and totally inedible. Finally coffee was weak and tasteless. Despite the beautiful location will not be returning. Sorry the food is awful.

Hidden gem on the banks of the River Avon. 👍🏽🤓

HIGHLY RECOMMEND A VISIT AT THIS BEAUTY SPOT Sunday lunch booked for 4 of us on the 16/6/2024 one of us is vegan .was truly satisfied with the choice on the menu for vegan .and amazingly left nothing on the plate. my choice was gammon with all the trimmings and others Had the beef all consumed with no complaints. err roast potatoes were beautiful.not many on my plate though I had 3.maybe I should of asked for more.deserts a good choice and very nice .teas coffees available .as is a well stocked bar.staff were very helpful and efficient and humerus.it was busy advise booking .plenty of outside seating

Lovely little eatery off the beaten track. Food is excellent and a lovely spot right by the river

We went for a Sunday roast and the meal we got was not what we expected I ordered pork Sunday roast and what I got was a pork chop and veg not like what they show on there profile photos, so I asked the manager what is with the pork chop and he replied we have been doing it like this for a while now my reply was that I came down a couple of months ago and you were not putting a pork chop on the plate it was sliced pork and crackling you are misleading people advertising Sunday roast ,he gave me a refund but i feel that they have let the Raphael's good name down that it has had for the food they used to serve when Mrs Raphael was in charge she built this business up only for it to be ruined by the drop in standard of the food now ,please get it back to the old high standard's of Mrs Raphael,

Great place for food with walking options alongside the river. Bank holiday Sunday lunch took 23 minutes from order to table when outside seating was nearly full (~50 people). Car parking £3. Latte £2.70. Dirty chips (with chilli) £12.

We visited Rafaels today intending to have a picnic lunch plus a portion of chips and a drink. However it turned quite chilly so having ordered the chips and drinks we wondered if we could eat them plus our sandwich indoors or at one of their outside picnic tables. There was no one in the restaurant nor at the outside tables. No was the rather rude reply. There are two benches down by the river that you can use. We could not talk to each other, there were five of us, as the benches were too far apart.We are in our eighties and they couldn’t over look their rule with literally no one inside or out. We could have perhaps understood the rule for inside but all those tables outside not being used!, We have been there many times over the years but never again! Unbelievable!!

Waitress very rude whilst ordering two coffees asked for one normal cappuccino and one extra hot when they arrived I asked which one was extra hot. She replied we don’t do extra hot both the same. Then asked if they do bacon butties. She replied not after 12. This was 1:30 in the afternoon. 2 mins later a bacon buttie arrived at table opposite. They do need training on customer service. Best avoid won’t be back.

Excellent food at a very reasonable price.

Come here on and off either a stop for refreshments on motorbike in summer and sit in garden area or with car and walk dog along river .very friendly staff lovely hot chocolate too.

Great place for beverages, food and a very warm welcome. It's clean and very cozy. Will definitely be spending a lot of time there and I'm looking forward to it.

Fantastic, friendly service, great coffee and an even better view.

Breakfast was great and good value

Stopped off for brunch. Lovely food, dog friendly and lovely setting right by the river

Wonderful carvery and wonderful guy behind the counter

Great food. Great location. Lovely place to chill out.

Great to sit and stare towards the river sat on their veranda in the sun .

We booked for a sports social group and we had the place to ourselves. Despite reservations as there were so many of us, some might be eating mains whilst some hadn't had starters, they smashed it. We were all served together, the food was very good and hot, and the service 1st class. Excellent

Called in today with the grandchildren at 12.30, greeted by a very rude man, who bluntly said we close at 1 o clock, and we are not cooking now, last time I will be going there, avoid at all costs is my advice!

Light lunch was taken here today, as we went to Evesham for the fishing festival. I'm going to say the chips are simply the best, and the mushroom pate was delicious, although I'd call it a mushroom creamy mousse that was so very tasty. Staff were very busy, but polite even though they were very busy. Very nice food.

Great spot for a sandwich and coffee. Fantastic location right near the river and directly located by the ferry crossing. Masses of open space in front and plenty of tables. Sensibly some are none smoking however a few, clearly marked are for smokers. Few plants outside for sale at very reasonable prices. Coffee, tea and a Mocha were hot and well made. Sandwiches were clearly made to order on fresh, sliced bread that made things soft and really enjoyable. A bacon sandwich for 3 quid? Good value in the past of the world I normally frequent. Lovely location. Great prices. Great staff. Great product

Great fishing and amenities be going here for 60+ years would highly recommend

Food was awful and workers have a terrible attitude not worth going to save your money than going to this place owner is like a hawk staring at customers and staff are rude

Met a friend for brunch and had the best ever Egss Benedict. Lovely location overlooking the river. I'll definitely be going back for more!!

Really nice breakfast sandwich. Quick and cooked to order. Would recommend.

Called in here for lunch today with my wife, grandson and MiL. Lovely setting right next to the river (sunshine so unusual in summer ‘23) but the main reason for this review is the burger I just ate. I’m not a burger aficionado by any means but I’d rate this one of the best I’ve ever eaten. It was 6oz of beef, cooked to perfection and served with cheese and bacon in a brioche bun with freshly cooked chunky chips. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

My 3 year old son was playing in the fenced space this afternoon, a man came over and said 'they are screaming too loud it's not a public park'. I then replied we'll take the kids to the other side of the fenced area then so they can scream as loud as they want'. No mention of climbing on tables or walking on flowers was mentioned by him and he did not advise us to leave- I said we would. If he had told us politely that the children were climbing on furniture or walking In the flowers we would have ensured they stopped. Very rude in the way he spoke to us, and if I was to see my son climbing on the furniture or on the plants then I'd be the first to tell him to stop!

Not family freindly at all , was sat in the garden deciding what we wanted to eat and drink while the kids were playing . Owner came over and spoke to us very rudely with an awful tone. He then said the kids were too loud and implied for us to leave they were playing outside with no other poeple in the garden wernt bothering anyone . So we left before ordering. Have spent fortunes in the past having partys there and all sorts, wont be using the place again . And FYI in response to your reply - none of the children went near any plants or climbed on any tables if they would of we as their parents would of been the first too tell them to stop our children are a bit loud and excitable but do not behave like animals .

Lovely location next to the river Avon, great food and great service.

What more do you want , eat and drink al fresco on the banks of the river in beautiful Evesham , love this place 😍

Lovely place for lunch with friends and family

Had afternoon tea for 22 people beautiful food and service ,staff were very helpful and polite.lovley afternoon

We visited in a group for lunch. We sat inside as the weather was extremely hot for our group of seniors. Good choice on the menu. The prices were very good. Food was piping hot and a big portion. Would highly recommend. Also, it's a lovely setting on the river.

Cute hidden gem in Evesham. Breathtaking view, outstanding service, good food. A life saver!! We will definitely come back!! Staff takes food allergies seriously and Dave was a star!!

Great place for a drink , lovely people very friendly and great place to buy a plant or 6

Great place to stop and have a drink when out with the dogs 🐕

A lovely cafe down by the river in Evesham. Very peaceful down a narrow lane. There's an old chain ferry across the river which is still working and fascinating to watch. Plenty of parking and a nice terrace outside as well as seating in the garden area leading down to the river. Well worth visiting.

Great setting, lots of potential.

Nice area great coffee Didn't get a chance to try the food

Nice place where you can have a nice meal. The food was good, nice staff, nice location.

Lovely food, very generous portions. Great setting

Attended an event here for the Evesham Festival of Words. An ideal venue.

Fabulous afternoon tea here this afternoon. Joint event with Evesham Festival of Words. Always a great venue,vfabulous food, and a stunning setting.

Popped in today for some food with family. A little disappointed the hot menu we had seen online (fish and chips etc) didn't seem to be on, and the menu we had consisted of baguettes or jacket potatoes. That said, the baguettes we had were beautifully presented with Side Salad and delicious coleslaw. The jacket potatoes were huge, as was the bowl of nachos. Certainly could not complain we were hungry after! Lovely location, plenty of parking, and a nice river walk, with the ferry close to hand. Will be beautiful in the summer months.

A nice motorbike ride over to Hampton Ferry, for breakfast and a coffee, rather cold March day today, but soon got warm inside overlooking the river Avon.

We had a great breakfast. Even though it was busy, service was fast, and food was good. It was fresh, hot, and good-sized portions .

We have used Raphael's for the last 10 years, great location on river Avon on a sunny day with a glass of cider in your hand

Always worth a visit when walking along the river. Check out their Facebook page as they occasionally have things on in the day suitable for all the family

I had the BIGGEST breakfast here and have to start by saying it was exceptional value for money for what I had. There was a steady flow of people, mostly cyclists coming to visit and in summer this place has a setting like to other to sit outside by the river. However, when we arrived the staff were sitting out the front smoking on the front step which didn't make for a very welcome approach, and the service was basic - we approached the bar to order and it took a while for someone to take the order despite the lack of people there when we first arrived. We all loved our meals, and when we did get food it was hot, big portions and the kids adored their pancakes. Would see definitely recommend coming here for a roast or a fry up, but it's more on the side of greasy spoon than upmarket restaurant. (To be clear, this isn't a complaint, I personally prefer this laid back atmosphere but it wasn't quite what I had initially expected.)

Have visited Raphael 's on numerous occasions for the Sunday carvery. Due to lock down and illness not been for some time. Went today, no carvery. OK, well the food is always great......... NO... Roast beef, fresh veg, Yorkshire etc ordered. I am not a picky eater, but I couldn't cut the beef, poor roast potatoes, withered burned parsnips, and bland leeks. I had to ask for steak knife to cut the beef In the end I gave up and discreetly asked for beef to be exchanged for turkey. When it came back with a lovely couple slices of turkey, they'd soaked it in gravy. A total waste of money. Very disappointing, as this is a lovely restaurant, with great staff. What's gone wrong.

Nice friendly place with a good selection of food and beers

Jacket potato with delicious generous salmon portion and salad. Inside restaurant and terrace and garden!

Beautiful place, stunning location! Great team of staff and the food is wonderful

Friendly staff and a beautiful location for a spot of food. BLT baguette was very nice indeed and car parking is cheap when you tie your visit in with a walk or cruise along the river.

Lovely lunch today. Chose a brie and cranberry sauce baguette. Absolutely delicious! Felt reassured with the staff members understanding of allergies.

Delicious food and drink, beautiful setting and excellent quality

Lovely atmosphere polite,friendly staff, beautiful setting next to the ferry, riverside restaurant..

Beautiful area. Very relaxing. Friendly staff. Very reasonably priced.

Wow just wow. Beautifully cooked food and so much of it. Friendly and attentive staff. Great value for money and stunning scenery. Well done, we have all thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas Day.

Very good service was good food 👍😊😊

Went for a Christmas meal, and everything was excellent. Food really well presented and lots of it. Service excellent and great value. Really nice place

We visited the restaurant today. Now this review is a tricky one. I’d say we probably do this once a year because it’s in the middle for us location wise. I’d say today was ok. Firstly we sat down with 2 kids, no kids menus offered and when I asked was told they had none printed. So I just ordered the first things she said. Secondly the guy who served us (blue hair) was kind of rude and abit abrupt. But was nice enough, almost as if he had better things to do! At first my Dad didn’t notice this, but upon ordering another round of drinks and deserts he did and agreed with me that he was abit rude! The food. 2 grilled salmon! Great reviews! Myself and hubby had just the chicken baguette. What a shame was nice, but far too much Mayo (I had to scrape it off my coleslaw and the spicy Mayo from my baguette (and I love Mayo) just honestly far too much! Sadly! So have come home feeling like I’ve eaten a jar of Mayo, bit icky in my tummy! But I was so hungry I most of it! Kids nuggets were like the chicken balls u get at a chines! Like deep fat fried in batter! Great big balls. Really crispy! Not nuggets! My daughter didn’t like them and my son wouldn’t touch them! So shame! Making your money on the sticky toffee pudding as the ice cream was nice but the cake itself was like a 99p cake shop bought! So that was disappointing! As it was £5.25 Overall spent £73 for the 5 of us. So let down by a couple of things there. But will i come back yes I probably will next year. 😀

Fantastic food just went for a drink and a snack when it came the dinner plate was full could not finish it we are not complaining, top marks

Back at Raphaels for Sunday lunch for first time since lockdown. No carvery yet but we had a superb lunch. Roast turkey and all the trimmings - lots of lovely veg served separately. Meal was piping hot, turkey was absolutely delicious and plenty of it. Service as usual with Raphaels was friendly, and meal served very promptly.

Had Sunday lunch pork was like rubber sole and didn't like the way it was laid out.

Great for a snack with great views.

Beautiful setting and lovely food and 🍻

Nice food✌and a beautiful place

What an amazing place views to die for river and park with so much to see and do and don't forget the guy on the ferry .definitely worth the £1 travel fee

Wonderful breakfast eggs benedict the best ever, highly recommended

We read the reviews for Raphael’s and decided to buy two takeaway breakfasts. We paid for a Full Monty and a small breakfast. The Full Monty was missing the black pudding, with both breakfasts the hash browns and bacon were undercooked, the mushrooms ruined by deep frying (?) and the toast was very thin sliced supermarket (?) bread. The Full Monty in particular was very expensive at nearly £10. The only good thing was the pats of real butter. It would have been better if the baked beans had been served in a separate containers as we have had with much cheaper takeaways. As we returned to our campsite to eat our breakfasts, we were unable to return to make a complaint.

Lovely food and lovely staff, lovely environment.

Really good Sunday roast. Plenty of vegetables served separately, very good selection. Very big portion all nicely cooked. We would definitely recommend and return.
