Star Inn & Restaurant in Malvern Hills

Fantastic Sunday lunch today with Sunday roast for one abd battered halloumi for me Brilliant food, great staff and very affordable. Always worth a visit

Absolutely fabulous, quaint, historical, friendly. Good beers, ciders, wines and spirits.. Staff and Landlady very professional and approachable. Breakfast must be experienced, homemade bread, jams, marmalade. Fresh laid eggs, fresh fruits, and a full cooked. Plenty of parking and room for large parties. Meals subject to fresh ingredients so menu daily. I could go on, all based upon my 5 day stay.

Bike meets on Sunday from 4pm amazing atmosphere

I went to The Grovewood Bar and Restaurant yesterday for dinner and had an awful experience. Firstly, service was extremely slow and had to wait over half an hour to be served, let alone how long it took to receive our two very simple drinks. Secondly, I ordered a chicken caesar salad with no anchovies and after waiting a long time it arrived with anchovies. I gently complained and asked for another to be made with no anchovies and soon arrived a second salad, this time with no anchovies but also no chicken!!!!! How hard is it to make a chicken caesar salad correctly, especially for £19.50!!! I declined the salad as my mum had finished eating her meal at this point, and it was taken off the bill. I decided to order a dessert apprehensively after this poor experience because I was still hungry after having only a side of garlic bread for dinner. I ordered a sticky toffee pudding and after 40 minutes it had still not arrived. I queried how long it would be with one of the waitresses and she said she would find out. She soon came back stating that the ticket for the order must of got lost as there was no record of a sticky toffee pudding order and she said that the chef has now gone home. I was absolutely mortified and disappointed with the service and my experience here. The staff mentioned that another chef was around and would make the sticky toffee pudding right away. Around 5 minutes later it arrived, I must say the pudding was delicious and one of the best sticky toffee puddings I have ever tasted. Hence, why I have given the food 2 stars as a compromise. I am very disappointed with the poor service and professionalism at The Grovewood Bar and Restaurant and will absolutely not be returning.

Clean and friendly in a good location. Staff are engaging. Marstons selection of beers well kept and decent prices. Reasonable menu at affordable prices.
