Seasons Restaurant in Herefordshire, County of

Very well presented food good service not rushed and food very tasty. A good sized menu to choose from

Dinner for 6 friends on a summer evening in a restaurant that was not busy was disappointing. There was a set menu with few choices but a great wine list. Our drinks were not served altogether but our main course was and the food was excellent. However service broke down when it came to dessert and after dinner coffee. The desserts came in fits and starts and we cancelled coffee for 3 of us as the others had finished theirs before ours was even made, apparently they only have one coffee machine and this is the reason given for the delay. I would have thought that this place would be able to serve a table of 6 adequately altogether. We were very disappointed.

We enjoyed 3 nights DBB at the Colwall Park Hotel over New Year.The food at breakfast was so fresh and tasty.The dinner menu could be chosen from a la carte or the bar menu,or a combination if so desired.The quality of food and service was awesome.Would certainly recommend to anyone.

We have not eaten @ The Colwall Park Hotel for some time so on Bank Holiday Monday we decided to have dinner out . As we have not eaten here for a long time & read positive reviews also the à la carte menu did look very good on there Web Site, we decide to book a table for two. On entering the Bar we noticed it had been re decorated new carpets tables New bar etc i must say it looked very nice. We sat down & ordered a wine, & a pint of Wye Valley which i must say was well kept & tasted great, as was the Malbec . After mulling over the menu for both the bar & Restaurant we decided to go for the Bar Menu.(Only because they had stopped doing the Turbot & changed to the Brill) hopefully the Turbot will be back in the future!! as its a lovely fish one of my favorites. Any way we both went for the Crispy fried Fish with Peas Chips & salad. The waiting staff were very polite & nothing was to much trouble. The meals arrived piping hot The fish was a good size & tasted fresh it looked fresh as was the salad garnish really nice .The chips were very good nice crispy (Not greasy & soft) and tasted really nice it came with a pot of peas & Tartar Sauce. I think if the peas were mushy or even crushed it would have been faultless. Both meals were very good offering good value for money with great service, it will not be as long as before when we next return. Thanks for a nice evening

Nos gusta el ambiente en el bar y las comidas, aunque una elección limitada. Una pena el vino como es tan caro, si no lo era! Buena música en vivo ocasionalmente en el bar.

We had a fabulous evening in front of a roaring fire - although it was only autumn. A really good menu choice and did not disappoint. For atmosphere, value and a good evening I thoroughly recommend.

We have eaten here a few times and again it did not disappoint. This is the first time we have taken our children as we thought the food might be too grown up for them. The children were made to feel welcome and they absolutely loved the food and rate this restaurant as one of their favorite places to eat! The food is of a very high standard and the flavours are amazing. The setting could be viewed as a little dated for some. The staff are always helpful and very knowledgeable.

Great food Friendly staff well signposted I travelled from Birmingham to meet up with my family. We all chose the Fish dish,it was delicious and nicely presented. Will definitely return.

For some reason this restaurant was not full on a Saturday night and I don't understand it because food was excellent and the service very attentive with a lot of additional goodies. If you are in the area a great place to eat

If you haven't eaten here, you should. Restaurant and bar is part of hotel. Good car parking. Right on the main road, so not difficult to find. Hotel also does weddings and conferences.

Much better than the usual hotel restaurant offerings, the new autumn menu was interesting, varied and absolutely deliciously served. Hereford beef is a must around these parts and was thoroughly enjoyed by the chaps! I loved the mushroom pasta starter, and our friends devoured the scallops with gusto! Good wine list, not silly prices. Great, friendly service.

We had a fabulous meal at Seasons restaurant in the Colwall Park Hotel. The food was beautifully presented and cooked perfectly. Some of us had the Herefordshire beef and others the lamb - both were incredibly tender. Highly recommend the scallops starter! The staff were all brilliant including the delightful work experience waitress. Chris was absolutely fantastic - nothing too much trouble and a pleasure to talk to. If all restaurants had a "Chris" who clearly loves what he does they would all be on to a winner! All in all we enjoyed a great family dinner.

The SEASONS restaurant appears to be named so -as the food choices are seasonal and locally sourced -well done. The menu choices at dinner were excellent - difficult to choose but not 500 ways to cook a burger with or without chips. I enjoyed a vegetarian starter and a wonderful piece of Herefordshire beef for my main. The wine list was well put together and reasonably priced. Chris (Restaurant Senior) and the team provided excellent menu advice and good service. Thank you. We stayed overnight at the hotel but would recommend the restaurant to non residents. (Breakfast was equally good) A bar menu is also available and seemed popular with locals and travellers alike; something for everyone. Thoroughly recommended.

Super service in a refined and pleasant environment. Food well presented and superbly cooked. Not the cheapest but worth it, in my view.

Ordered rib eye steak chips onion rings and side salad. Steak was cooked just how i like even now whilst writing this my mouths going wateri.. Must try..

We eat here most weeks mid week & the food is always good as is the service. However on our last two visits we have noticed that there is very few staff on duty. The bar man is normally the gardener & does his very best to serve, but he is not in tune with the menu, as we asked what a particular dish was like & he said i do not know ,I must say however that he does try his very best to keep the customers happy. Also on both occasions the beer has been poor Ie cloudy & not as good as usual, the locals were also complaining about the beer.The food however is still very nice but they do need to get waiters/waitresses who know how to serve there customers.The Colwall Park Hotel also has done the Gourmet Society card for a long time, which means you get one main free, this is exceptional value here as the food is very good with a descent choice on the menu. But we were told that this will stop at the end of October!!! i asked why but no one was willing to say why??.I hope that they bring this back, as i said earlier we eat here most weeks.I do hope that they can get some of the original staff back as they were Very good ,& always gave excellent service.Its a great restaurant & it would be a terrible shame if it lost its appeal

My 50th birthday, Sunday lunch for 11, £19 for two courses. Lovely, friendly "normal" English hotel, not at all stuffy and given we were all tired from a party the night before, it just struck the perfect balance for us.... Fantastic food...we had beef and lamb and vegetarian options, all were fantastic and so were the puddings. Service from a lovely Spanish waiter was attentive, responsive and personal. Seated us in a little lounge to the side of the bar to order pre dinner drinks.... couldn't fault it and it made a very special birthday experience for me... but we will definitely come back on a Sunday again,....and again..... and again!!

We dined here on Wednesday evening we decided to share a starter , we had the Mulled Pear salad with Stilton & walnuts. This was a really nice starter the salad was fresh a tossed in olive oil i have to say that they did not scrimp on the Stilton or the Walnuts as some other restaurants would do. we would score the starter 10/10 really good.For mains we both had the Pork loin & Belly Pork this came with green beans & Mashed potato. The Pork Loin was served on some cabbage with bacon lardens , this was a very nice touch different to what we had been served in the past. The belly pork was fine shame it did not crackle a little more but it still was a very nice meal . In previous visits we have had the pork loin served with a stick or two of crackling, if they had done that it would have been perfection.We know it is under new owners & we were a bit concerned that the food might be not as good.... But this is not the case at all, in fact i would say they are being a little more imaginative .The service is still very good the staff are very polite & helpful. They also still use the Gourmet Society card which is an added bonus. A very nice meal & service Thanks!!

We chose the restaurant here after reading trip advisor reviews and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The restaurant was slightly lacking in atmosphere as there were only two other couples there but everything else was excellent. We were welcomed by name when we arrived and the waiting staff were friendly, professional and efficient. The food was amazing! We had the ratatouille in tomato and the duck. Everything was cooked perfectly and the presentation was immaculate. The desserts were also delicious! Thanks for a very pleasant and memorable evening.

Excellent food & service, can't rate it highly enough. The menu has a good choice but not too much choice which sometimes spoils the quality of food. Wish we lived nearer to visit more often.

Seasons Restaurant in the Colwall Park Hotel is set in an attractive village location by the Malvern Hills. The restaurant has views of the western slopes of the nearby hills. My companion and I had fish main courses followed by dessert and we both agreed that the food was delicious and nicely presented, the service was helpful and the setting very pleasant. The whole experience was enjoyable.

All right, the food was delicious and the place looked lovely, such an elegant hall and lovely music at the right volume. But good grief, it cannot take two full hours to serve three course (the last just a cheese board), two hours during which nobody had the decency to make sure that we did not need any more drinks (than a pint of ale and, for me the driver, just 330ml of water!) People arrived far later than us were served before we were and this did not help our mood at all, after the first hour we were more annoyed than hungry... and we hadn't eaten much yet! I understand that they were heavily short staffed, just three (plus one cook, I guess) dealing with the restaurant and the bar at the same time, but there must be a limit for the waiting time and the staff's carelessness: if you cannot do better than this as you are, you should employ more people or accept less bookings (and it's not as if we were dozens in the restaurant!) Not likely to go there again.

we dined here on Saturday evening with our son, normally we eat in the Lantern Bar but on this occasion we decided on the Restaurant.The waitress showed us to our table & served us our drinks, we were then given a bowl of olives & some cheese biscuits to nibble on while we decided what to order. I chose the fresh Pea soup for starters & my son & wife chose the Goats’ Cheese Hash Brown, red onion marmalade, red pepper coulis. The pea soup was really tasty served in a really nice bowl with fresh homemade bread rolls. The goats cheese was to really good a very nice starter, the red onion marmalade really did accompany the goats cheese, again a really good starter..For mains i had the Herb Roasted Loin of Grass Fed Malvern Hills Lamb with thyme potatoes, mediterranean vegetables, glazed carrots & rosemary juices. This came out with the lamb sliced on top of the vegetables, cooked exactly how it should be "Pink" it was so tender & full of flavour The whole meal was really good presentation 10/10.My wife chose the Crisp Fillet of Gilt Head Bream with char grilled new potatoes, chorizo, spinach & red pepper sauce i did not get to try this but she assured me it was lovely . My son had the Seared Goosnargh Duck Breast with walnut scented mashed potatoes & roast root vegetables again really nicely presented & it must have tasted as good as the plate was clean.For sweet we had Caramelised Banana Tart Tatin with rum & raisin ice cream, this was really nice not good for the waist but what the hell... the other sweet was the Passion Fruit topped Baked Vanilla Cheesecake pineapple sorbet my son had this one which was again lovely the sorbet was his favourite part of the dish but it was all good as "yet again a clean plate".The waitress & waiter who looked after us during the evening were superb nothing was to much trouble & the service was second to none. We dine here regularly & always have good service & a good meal weather in the Lantern Bar or the Restaurant, & its nice to see they change the menu on a regular basis.My personal choice would to have a "From The Grill" Menu serving Fillet / Ribeye / Sirloin Steaks Etc That would be Heaven.All in all this is a pleasant Restaurant to come & dine the food & service will not dissapoint

We enjoyed a very pleasant lunch in the Lantern Bar at the Colwall Park Hotel. The menu was all vey tempting with plenty of locally sourced produce to chose from. My salmon was cooked to perfection and the bread and butter pudding was divine (loved the open log fire too). We will certainly be returning soon! Thank you.

Visited the hotel recently for a sunday lunch with a party of 8 people for my 60th birthday. The resturant was half empty and I was a little concerned that this might indicate that the food was not that good. I need not have been concerned however as both the food and service was excellent . The only slight criticism was that the decor is a lttle dated and could really do with a makeover which is why i've only given it four out of five. Otherwise can't fault it and would certainly go there again.

Stayed over the festive season and the normal meals were excellent and the specials for Xmas lunch and New Years Eve were superb and great value. I cannot sing their praises highly enough because every meal I've eaten here had been well up to Michelin standards, but at far more realistic village prices. There's nowhere in London where you can get this quality at these prices.

As part of our weekend DBB stay, we dined in the Seasons Restaurant each night. Told that we could sit in the Lounge, opposite the Lantern Bar, our sherries were brought to us, together with the evenings Menu for our perusal. There then followed a selection of Canapés, around a central dish of mixed nuts. We were also shown the bottle of white wine we had selected. A waitress escorted us to our table, unfolded our linen napkins, laying them across our laps, and poured a taster of the wine from an ice bucket. All three courses of the meal were eye-catchingly presented, cooked to perfection, with taste combinations that were satisfying. Coffee, or after-dinner drinks, were then available in the Lounge once more. The Menu contained ample choice for different combinations the following evening. Breakfast each morning was also satisfying. Starting with either Cereals, fresh Fruit, Yoghurt and fruit juices, one could then choose from a comprehensive full English Breakfast or down to a bowl of Porridge, that set you up for the day.

I have reviewed The Colwall Park Hotel restaurant before, We have since eaten in their restaurant & Lantern Bar probably 8-10 times since my last review.The service is always fantastic, the staff are very polite & helpful, the bar is very comfortable & inviting. But the most important part is the Food. They have changed the menu slightly & now offer the Char-grilled 28 Day Dry Aged Medallions of Fillet Steak. I had the pleasure of eating this dish on my last visit 31st October2013. The steak was lovely, tender cooked to perfection & served with Chips mushrooms Tomatoes French beans & Onion rings & a peppercorn sauce.All of the food on the plate was really good & well presented,all cooked just right....I have to say,,,,The onion rings at other restaurants that we have eaten in , seem to be very greasy but at the seasons restaurant they are spot on.. crispy batter not dripping in grease, & you can actually taste the flavour of the onion.My wife chose the Pan Seared Fillet of Halibut this was beautiful. The Halibut was fantastic freshly cooked to perfection as was the dill & white wine cream sauce it came with,,really tasty...The vegetables accompanied it perfectly.For sweet, we decided on the Port Roasted Black Figs with cinnamon dumplings & vanilla sweetened mascarpone, "something i would not normally choose" . Well what a great surprise truly lovely the whole dish was superb best sweet i have had in agesAs we eat here on a regular basis i can honestly say the food & service is consistently good, the food is always presented well on the plate . Its a pleasure to eat here . it is a shame other Restaurants in the area cannot match the Colwall Park Hotels food & service. A truly great restaurant..

Me and my family including my twin one year old boys had a lovely evening meal at beginning August. The boys had 2 place settings at the table and were both asleep when we arrived but the staff were very accommodating and the push chair was no problem in the restaurant. Our meal was so lovely and the presentation and service was of first class. The boys woke up and all the other guests made a fuss of them. I do get stressed as a parent when taking my babies for a meal but the staff here made all my family feel very comfortable straight away. I would certainly return if we visit Malvern again. Thank you ..

We go here regularly just to the restaurant and the service is first class without fail. The food varies and the new menu is not so good but for such good service it is well worth it. We are always remembered and made to feel welcome.

Recently ate here as part if family reunion weekend and every meal we had was superb. Great quality food and good local ingredients. All at very reasonable prices compared with local gastro pubs and expensive Cotswold establishments.

Good food in the evening but far too expensive, especially drinks. Good service and nice setting although you are on a main road. Stayed the night and the room was adequate. Ideal for walks on the Malvern hills. Breakfast was good.

The village of Colwall near Malvern is the location for this hotel. Seasons Restaurant has a great menu of fish, meat and veg dishes. The main issue is the lack of atmosphere in the restaurant due to empty tables. The food on the other hand was v good. For starters, red mullet was the favourite in our party but the trout was a bit tasteless. For mains, the slow cooked beef rib was the stand out dish and the freshly cooked chips were outstanding. By the end, we were all pretty full and so could not explore the desserts but the chocolate ice cream and blackberry ripple ice cream was lovely. Overall, I would come back to this restaurant but hope the next time there is more atmosphere.

Have just got back from eating what was supposed to be Sunday dinner. The Chilled Gazpacho had too much sherry vinegar and left you with a nasty after taste. I returned it to be told that Chef had followed the recipe...what happened to tasting the food before it goes out? Clearly chef has no taste buds!The Wild Mushroom & Spinach Risotto for main was a pile of stodge and the Mixed Vegetables I ordered to go with it were overcooked and under-seasoned. The only decent thing was they took the gazpacho off my bill. I didn't finish my main course before settling up the bill and leaving.As for 'atmosphere', it was dead and for a Sunday evening in the Summer holidays when you'd expect families to be out and about and eating in great country pubs and such, I found it odd that I was 1 of only 4 people in the bar...Do not go, find somewhere else.

During our four-day stay in the area, we ate dinner quite happily at three other two-rosette awarded restaurants in Hereford and Worcester, all of whom were quite happy to accommodate our nine-month old baby and her buggy. Not here. The lady taking our booking wanted to know whether our daughter would be asleep (as if we could guarantee that) and whether there was a chance she might make a noise. "I'm just thinking of the other diners," she said, clearly assuming that all the other diners were also averse to the sound of a baby gurgling or babbling - if you can even hear that above the general hubbub of conversation. For not understanding that as parents, we're not going to let our baby scream wildly in the dining room to the detriment of 40 other people, she gets a zero. The food might be good - so good, in fact, that babies must be banned from the dining room so that it can be properly enjoyed. But we will never taste it.

I recently moved to Malvern and decided to give this hotel a try, (only had a meal not an overnight stay).The meal was pretty good, overly expensive and the wine was pretty pricey too for what it was, however the only reason I will never be returning is the charge for the soda water.My daughter and I asked for a glass each and when the bill came it was charged at £1.20 each glass. This a ridiculous amount for what is after all, water with a few bubbles in it.

We had lunch in the garden and chose from a selection of tapas. The staff were extremely helpful and the food was out of this world! We had difficulty choosing from the menu, as everything sounded delicious, so decided on the tapas and were definitely not disappointed! The food was deliciously fresh and I can highly recommend the apricot bread and butter pudding with homemade ice cream. We ate in the garden which was an undiscovered gem! Beautiful peaceful location. We have also previously had a delicious dinner in the main restaurant and would not hesitate to recommend. We will certainly be back!

I recently visited The Four Seasons restaurant for a lunch business meeting as it had been recommended to me by a colleague. The food, staff and setting was stunning. The food was exceptional with freshly sourced ingredients. I had the ribs as recommended by the waiting staff, and was certainly not disppointed! The best ribs I have ever had! Staff were helpful, and food was well paced. We ate in the garden area which is spacious and secluded. Great for business lunches, but I will also be visiting again with my family as the garden would be a fantastic space for little ones to explore. A great find and highly recommend.

Found myself back here unexpectedly, following a funeral. The menu has changed, I think, since my last visit but it's still obvious that this is a place that takes cooking seriously. To be honest I didn't eat much - wasn't in the mood - but my steak was just how I asked it to be and there was an interesting cheeseboard. However, judging by some of the comments at adjoining tables it was obvious that there were a lot of contented customers in that evening. My waiter (I hate that word) was friendly and efficient and clearly enjoyed being there. I don't suppose a full meal would have been cheap but on the other hand, as we all know, at the end of the day you tend to get what you pay for. And what you get here is good food, good service and a 'feel good' atmosphere.

Normally we eat in the bar but we tried the restaurant on this occassion and found it delightful.Staff are brilliant, very friendly but not in your face and the food is sourced locally and is beautifully cooked and presented.Without doubt, this is one if the best restaurants in the area and I will most certainly be going back regularly.

We came last evening for a quiet birthday dinner in the Seasons Restaurant. Unfortunately, being a Monday evening and things being a bit too quiet, we would have been on our own. Instead, we chose to eat in the bar. Any doubts about opting for a second class alternative were quickly dispelled as we were shown to a choice of tables. It rapidly became apparent here was a place where quality and service were uppermost in everyone's mind. Such service, I have rarely seen outside of London.On discovering, after ordering our food, the wine we had chosen was not available, the waitress brought us a choice of two alternatives and the proprietor himself came to apologise personally and waived the charge for the wine. Very impressed.The food itself was beautifully cooked and presented. It couldn't be faulted in any way.When my wife dropped her fork accidentally, within seconds and without asking, a waiter was at her side presenting a fresh fork from a tray. Very impressed again.I had chosen a chocolate sorbet with my crème brulee dessert. Sadly the sorbet had run out, but our waitress took the time to apologise and make several suggestions for a chocolate themed alternative accompaniment. It turned out well. Once again, very impressed.We decided this had been one of the nicest meals we have had in many years. Certainly it ranks in our top 5 ever. The welcome and the service were a refreshing change from the often found mediocrity, especially when eating in the bar rather than a restaurant. We will be returning soon and hope then to sample the promised ambiance of the restaurant.Meanwhile I wish everyone involved here every success for the future. There are too few places like this!

I know i have reviewed this restaurant not long ago, but to be honest i have eaten there several times since.Each time we have had great service, great food & a lovely atmosphere.I have chose different dishes each time & they all taste superb each time we visit.We dined there on Saturday evening with my wife & son & we had a great meal as usualThe staff make you feel very welcomeI can honestly say that the Seasons Restaurant is consistently excellent in both service & food.Its a pleasure to go out & know what you are eating /Drinking will be of good quality, not to mention the service...

We had the pleasure of dining here on Thursday 25th April 2013. I booked a table that evening for two. On arrival we had a drink at the bar , we were offered a table in the restaurant or the Lantern Bar we chose the Lantern bar but chose from the restaurant menu. My wife ordered the Bresaola with olives, basil pesto, aged balsamic, rocket & parmesan salad , This was really good fresh salad bresaola was really good great flavour very well presented. I had the Grilled Goats Cheese & Red Onion Tartlet reduced balsamic, mixed leaves & basil pesto. This was very nice the balsamic reduction was great really good as was the goats cheese, a really good start to the evening.The waitress was very polite & gave us excellent service. For the main course my wife had the Honey Glazed Ham Shank with wholegrain mustard mash, cabbage, peas, cider & sage sauce this was really tasty mash was lovely & the cabbage was chopped very fine the ham actually tasted of honey which was fantastic the whole dish was excellent.I ordered the Chargrilled 28-Day Dry Aged Rib Eye Steak with field mushroom, onion rings, french beans & chunky chips with a pepper sauce. The chips i have to say were a pleasure to eat, not the usual deep fried soggy mess these were crisp cooked to perfection & tasted like chips should. the onion rings were very good cooked to a light golden colour the steak was cooked perfectly i ate all of it so there was not to much fat,that you would expect from a rib eye, a real pleasure to eat juicy & tender.for sweet we shared a Mandarin & Orange Crème Brûlée this was just as good as the rest of the meal. The real ales that were served were good & not priced highly as was the wine. All in all this was one of our better dinner experiences the hotel it self is very welcoming with a log fire, nicely decorated great atmosphere. We will be definitely be returning In my opinion this restaurant is one of the best around for quality atmosphere & value for money..

Good choice without the need for additional sides that so often bump up the price. There were different options that would suit all - fab food.

I have eaten here several times and on each occasion I was very impressed with both the high quality ingredients they use, but also the superb friendly waiting staff. The room had a traditional look with original oak panels and is best seen at night with soft lighting and candles. Can't be bettered for quality and value anywhere near here or the Cotswolds.

I have eaten at Colwall Park many times, and can honestly say that I have NEVER been disappointed.The food is always top notch, both in presentation and flavour, and the Staff are incredibly considerate, friendly and happy to make suggestions.I have visited for Romantic meals with my Husband, Ladies lunch, group meals with friends, and meals with my Parents.The gardens are also delightful, and the cocktails aren't bad!I will continue to go back as I have always been delighted by the service and food. I can not recommend the place enough.

Surprising, saw advert in private eye. Very impressed by food. Waiting staff an iota too camp but very good service.

Have regularly visited the Colwall Park Hotel on special occasions for a special meal. Have never been disappointed. The quality of food, staff and service is first class. Highly recommended.

If you want a leisurely Sunday lunch with extremely good food, then I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. From the moment I booked, the response was courteous and helpful. On arrival, we were welcomed and escorted to our table in the pleasant uncluttered dining room with its spotless linen. The waiter was a smiling friendly person and the menu most appealing, short enough to inspire confidence but sufficient to offer variety. The service was not brisk but if things are going to be freshly prepared you would not expect it to be. We had two courses. The roast beef was beautifully cooked and the vegetables (roast and mashed potatoes, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli, mange tout and French beans) exquisitely done, full of delicate flavour and melting in the mouth. The whole was complemented by a crisply light Yorkshire pudding. We ate with very great enjoyment.Then my wife and I chose apricot bread and butter pudding with ice-cream. This was generous but seductively light, the contrast between the hot pudding, syrupy fruit and the creamy cold adding to our pleasure. Our daughter had cheese and received four local ones with a variety of biscuits and chutney. Luckily there was so much that she had to offer some to me.The table d'hote menu (two or three courses for a set amount) is reasonably priced and an incentive to return.

We stayed at the hotel for their Xmas package but noticed Xmas lunch was full of locals as well, paying the same as local pubs charge. Except that here you had real champagne to start with and all the food was locally sourced, proper turkey with real flavour, and a seven course feast all cooked from scratch. We are lucky to have such a good restaurant on our doorsteps.

Having eaten previously in the bar (which was lovely), I thought we should try the restaurant this visit. The menu was varied but not too extensive, and the wine selection was excellent. I tried the (local) venison which came with parsnip puree and glazed carrots, which was succulent and delicious, and the lemon posset for dessert which came with raspberry sorbet (fantastic). The staff were friendly and attentive, and the restaurant and quiet but was quite relaxed for a formal dining area. We'll definitely eat here again.

Came here for a meal with my partner. Excellent service from all staff, very enthusiastic. Food was delicious and also great value for money. A good selection of wine. Both the restaurant and bar area were very nicely decorated and felt warm and welcoming.

Five stars for the food but the restaurant lacks atmosphere - much better to eat in the bar. On a trip to France last year , we kept finding that we had no meal as good as we get at the Colwall Park Hotel. Good wine list and you can go in for one course (in the bar ) so it doesn't have to be an expensive evening . Never had a bad meal there.

We came here to celebrate my birthday (a quiet one!) and was initially draw to the menu when searching online. The restaurant has a simple design but good attention to detail such as gentle lighting which makes the place very romantic and comfortable. Staff are very attentive, and food came fast. Enjoyed my starter which was the scallop, texture was cooked to just right with a nice sauce goes with it. Although the green salad did not quite go with it. Had duck with green bean for main, really surprised that the greens were cooked just right and it went well with the meat. My boyfriend had pork for main, the pork belly did not disappoint but the other half was a bit salty. One last point: I got a membership to a certain discount club which stated the restaurant had an offer on sunday, when I phoned to book was told cannot use it because it was a busy evening. Appreciate the logic, but think it is a good will to stick to what it signed up for. Otherwise, change the small print...

Staying with friends nearby who brought us here for dinner and amazed to see it was full on a Monday night. When the food came I knew why people call this a hidden gem. Fantastic food and very sensible prices. Excellent staff and service but a really great chef who knows what to do with proper ingredientsCannot understand why Trip rates it so lowly. This must be one of the best restaurants in the county.

Ate here a couple of Sundays ago, and like Gourmay's review, we cant understand why this is so low in the rankings for the area. Perhaps the positive is that there is no excuse for a bad meal in the area. Anyway, we had the Hereford beef main course, which was perfectly cooked, and came on the plate with a good range of vegetables, and didnt overdo the potato. For dessert, my wife had a refreshing Lemon Possett, whilst I had a very light and creamy Bread and Butter pudding. The Two courses, with a couple of drinks were very reasonably priced, and there is an option to sign up for their Dinner club, so giving extra benefit for meals in the future.The setting is a bit more formal than one of the surround Pub restaurants, but the service was very good, without a feeling of being stuffy. Another venue we would happily return to.

Hidden away in the hotel is the Seasons Restaurant, high quality cooking from a tight team who obviously, source locally as much as possible, a relaxed atmosphere with attentive but not overbearing service.Wine list well thought through for everyone's budget and no shortage of exotic post dinner drinks.The owners are obviously driven and it shows through in the food quality and presentation, we will be back!

Just eaten here again recently and can't understand why this restaurant isn't higher in your listing. In a part of the world where high end but fairly priced restaurants are very thin on the ground it would be nice if Seasons got the recognition it deserves. If you want a cheaper, run of the mill alternative then there are plenty to chose from round here. But if you want considerably above average food, a wide ranging wine list and unobtrusive but excellent service then go to Seasons.

They produce Michelin quality food at very reasonable prices and every time I've eaten there for lunch or dinner it's always been excellent. Great friendly staff who are pleased to help and an excellently priced wine list. Despite the lowly ranking this is without doubt the best food on a 20 mile radius.

Excellent bar food but restaurant prices. The food is well prepared, and of a high standard. It is rather pricey. The Colwall Park Hotel is always a delight

The average price of mains on the menu around £16-£17. Fish and chips are the cheapest at £12. Are total food bill for a starter of garlic bread which we shared, and two mains came to £43 with tip. It was not worth the cost in anyway at all. It was not a high standard of cooking, my sea bream was one single small fillet, burnt and dry, covered with salt! The service was however very good.Would not recommend eating here, worth a 5 minute drive into Malvern for something else.

Came here for a family Sunday lunch. Pleasant staff and restaurant, but value for money it was not. We had a normal Sunday roast, but the meat portion was very small and no roast potatoes!! I was looking forward to a creme brulee dessert, but no - its consistency was more like scrambled egg - yuk.Never again for the price we paid.

Just spent 3 nights there and it was wonderful. The staff are extremely helpful and make you feel welcome. From the moment we arrived to when we left ( with great sadness) our time at Colwall Park was enjoyed immensely.Large room - large bed - quirky but very efficient bathroom and shower. We loved it - and the food!!Will return again to enjoy some more walking in the Malverns.

I had the opportunity to return to Colwall Park Hotel last week having been there last November (2008). My return was geared to a very pleasant, if hurried, visit last time and I simply wanted to repeat the experience. I was not disappointed. As before, the staff were welcoming and my room both very clean and comfortable. The restaurant has much higher standards than expected and I would suggest that the value is second to none. The food and wine is exceptional and well matched by the service. It is clearly a family run business, but I am not sure, and has all the hallmarks of care and pride in service. If in the area, I will certainly re-visit.JGF

We have just returned from spending Christmas at Colwall Park with four friends . It was chosen by the others and we didn't go with high expectations ! However , from the moment we arrived we felt it was a most excellent choice . We were welcomed with genuine warmth - not just platitudes trotted out - and shown to our very pleasant room . A Christmas card and a pot of honey as a present were in our room - a nice touch and a sensible choice [ last year's socks were quite the wrong colour ! ] . In the lounge was a bowl of clementines and another of chocolates , a jigsaw puzzle was left on a table on the landing so we could " have a go as we wandered past " and there was a pile of games to borrow .The staff were excellent and clearly well trained as well as well chosen . Meals could not be faulted - food looks good and tastes fresh and interesting - but it was the understated organisation that made the greatest impression . On Christmas evening there was a light hearted quiz and a delicious buffet in the bar . An altogether first rate experience .

We have stayed here a few times and have always had wonderful fresh food from a varied menu.The rooms are very comfortable, the staff very friendly, attentive and helpful. We have always come away feeling very relaxed.
