Love having a mooch around here. Was sad I couldn't find welly socks. Only real down side is that toys are upstairs which is difficult to get to if you have a pushchair or a toddler.

We've been visiting the Hop Pocket for many years and have always had lunch there. We will be finding an alternative for lunch in the future. We both ordered a toasted sandwich and cup of tea. The tea tasted awful - could taste chlorine in the water. The toasties were very ordinary - we've had much better from places like Costa or Greggs! The price shocked us £8.95 for a toasted sandwich - we usually pay around £5. The total bill for two of us was £23 which was definitely not good value. The price of cooked breakfast was £12 - we're used to paying around £8. We've had some lovely, reasonable meals there in the past, but won't be eating there in the future.

We have been to the cafe numerous times before and thought last time that it was not as good as it had been. This time we were queuing ready to order 10 minutes after they stared lunch. Both quiche options on specials were not available (an alternative quiche was ordered and was described as the worse meal ever had there), the crisps on the toastie were stale, the lamb and cranberry casserole, although judges as tasty had little or no cranberries in it and the steak and kidney pie had become a casserole as there was no pastry. Very poor.

Went for lunch here. Chose a vegetarian christmas meal. Omg never ever have i had quiche as the veggie option served with gravy very strange indeed. The lady serving all on her own was pleasant but over stretched trying to keep up with taking orders and making drinks. And the quiche had huge lumps of tomato in it not slices but chunks ugghhh very very disappointed.

The staff are very rude and presumptuous. I was stood next to a table by another customer and something fell and broke. As I picked the item up a member of staff came over demanding I pay half price for the item. I refused as I wasn't admitting it was myself that broke it and two it was an accident and any damages should be expected and maybe claimed on insurance. I refused to pay and then got escorted out of the door being told that there are signs saying damages must be paid for.

Rude café staff asked for soup was told you can’t have soup after 2pm WHY you can have toasted sandwiches and hot sausage rolls that are over priced at 5pound each . All cakes are grossly overpriced 3.60 for a small mincemeat square. The coffee my husband had was lukewarm we won’t return

Originally intended to visit Celtic Marches Cider up the road but it didn't look open so called and told it isn't actually open to the pubic for sales but it is sold at this place just down the road! So called in and found a shop selling not just their cider but dozens of other local ciders too along with other local drinks - fantastic place, we bought quite a few! We also visited the garden centre bit where they had some unusual jewellery at a very reasonable price so got some of that too. Lovely little place!

Such a shame there’s no dogs allowed. We have a small, friendly, well behaved puppy and he was not allowed. Really need to reconsider this policy and align with many competitor places in the area. After 20+yrs of enjoying our visits here we sadly will not be returning.

I went with my husband, and we arrived about 15 minutes after opening time. We haven't been for several years. Since our last visit, the cafe has been extended significantly, and has definitely had a makeover. Only one person was serving, but she was pleasant, and friendly. We had coffee, and my husband had a slice of flapjack. He said it was good, which was just as well considering it was £3.50 for a small piece!!! Coffee was hot and very nice. The shopping area is very lack lustre. The food emporium is ridiculously overpriced, and why would you pay £4.50 for an empty box, or £3.95 for some serviettes?? The furniture section was interesting and contained some nice, quality items, and if looking for large items, I would consider buying from there. There's a garden center area however is good. Plants are reasonably priced and the quality is pretty good. Overall, if I was passing, I'd pop in for coffee, but it's certainly not somewhere I would rush to return to.

Love the hop pocket however they could really do with some more disabled spaces. There are only 2 that I know of and the other hard surface spaces are not wide enough for a wheel chair or walking aid so you are very restricted. Be careful going on a Sunday morning as there were cyclists in the restaurant today about 25 of them all ordering and paying separately so it took ages to get served and I felt very sorry for the staff.

We have been to the Hop Pocket many times over the last few years. Today was a very different experience. The staff were not welcoming, very matter of fact and were totally indifferent to our needs. They are not dog friendly in the cafe or even the shops! As a small rural centre you would expect them to welcome dogs (like they do in the Cotswolds) but we were invited to exit the shops with our small well behaved dog.

Went here this morning had two full English breakfasts and a pot of tea for two cost £25.00 and the breakfast was very poor for what it was the eggs were fried no option and they was hard and small the mushrooms were diced obviously from a tin and two very small cheap thin sausages all of this was cold the beans was your usual ramekin size the single hash brown was cold and awful the bacon was the only decent item the toast which was granary was so thin and cold it was transparent. Everyone knows you pay a bit more in these places but please don’t cheat the customer I would be amazed if any of it was not from Lidl. Oh and not even any black pudding I know not everyone’s cup of tea but you can get a proper full English with everything for £8.00 or less and can’t move after from Morrisons. They seriously need to look at there prices if they are serving that low quality example £7.00 for a cheese sandwich that’s it nothing with it £8.50 for a bacon & egg sandwich and if the quality is what I had and dished up that is robbery. No wonder we were the only one ordering breakfast all the elderly coming in was just tea or coffee and a tea cake. Should be ashamed.

Visited here today and was rather disappointed traveled for 2hrs to get here and for what for multiple stores selling all sorts of random stuff that you could buy at most places at huge mark up how do you even begin to justify £4.50 for a single slice of cheese on toast and £17 for three pairs of socks the brochure I received showed a shopping area All decorated for Christmas but all it had was overpriced knick nacks and food and the most Christmas thing there was the dying Christmas trees that were outside the only saving grace here was the food hall that had a good selection of products at reasonable prices I won't be making the trip to re visit here in the future

Visited this evening after a recommendation from my father who lives locally, we did not have a great food experience. Ordered the shrimp curry, chicken Cantonese style, chips and prawn crackers. The chips were the best part of the meal. The shrimp curry had no body to it, was watery and only had shrimp and onion very boring and bland. The chicken was not hot and tasted a few days old as did the prawn crackers. Unfortunately we are only in the area for today and we're very disappointed.

Nice little gem of a place by the River Wye. It is tucked away in the old city behind some shops and bars. There is plenty of outdoor seating either under a marquee or in the open. There is also a small stage for live music. We had breakfast there and went back for a drink in the afternoon. Food and service were really good despite it being busy especially in the afternoon.

I've been many times and will continue to visit. A great pub at anytime of the year that the whole family including the four legged family members can enjoy. A warm welcome along with the fire in colder months adds to a great atmosphere that's also felt from the staff. I'd recommend to residents of Malvern and people visiting.
