The Inn at Welland in Malvern Hills

Gorgeous Sunday lunch, garlic mushrooms, velouté and smoked salmon starters; roast beef & chicken breast today, wonderful crumble with custard and the all important affogato al caffe - Our favourite eatery for some years now, unfailingly good food every time, hard to venture elsewhere when the Inn is on our doorstep!

Dinner for two omnivores, one pescatarian and a vegan and we were all delighted. The beetroot tartare was a table favourite, and the fish and meat dishes beautifully cooked. Friendly and attentive service- thank you very much for having us!

Total perfection. Classy, sophisticated, warm, homely. Tastefully decorated, which gives an air of tranquillity. The food is superb, real quality, and perfectio n in how it is presented. The staff are fabulous. Friendly, warm, and lots of fun. This is our favourite place. A total stunner, nothing to touch it for miles around.

Great sunday roast! Cauliflower cheese actually cheesy and not watery. Roast potatoes actually crispy and still fluffy inside. Spot on. All the staff were great too.

Excellent in every way apart from the soufflé which was inedible

First time here after a recommendation from my foodie friend , we booked mid week straight after work and boy for a Wednesday evening it was busy! The staff were amazing , we were made to feel very welcome , they had great knowledge of the menu and the cocktail menu . Service was incredible and the food amazing , so pleased to have experienced this and will bring my family back

We had a birthday meal here and it was truly lovely. Not only was the food delicious and had us really scraping the plates for every last morsel, the service was superb without being intrusive. If we are back in the area we will certainly be revisiting!

We had a really fantastic Sunday Roast here. The food was absolutely amazing and counts amongst the best we've had. It's especially nice that the pub is dog friendly which is often not something you see in more restaurant style pubs! I'd like to make a special mention of Chris, who served us. He was friendly, helpful and went above and beyond providing excellent service. Attention such as his really helps to push the bar even higher.

The food was superb. My halibut was the best ever , as was my wife’s venison. The service was first class . Throughly recommend

If I could give this more than five stars I would have done. I cannot fault the food, the service, the decor.... anything. Absolutely stunning meal.

My happiest dining experience for a long time. Superb food, lovely atmosphere, charming staff. Just walk in, hear the buzz of happy diners, and you know you are in a good place.

Absolutely amazing food, full of flavour and beautifully presented. We visited here whilst on staycation and we we're so glad to find it was very dog friendly too. A perfect spot for a special occasion.

A must if you happen to be in the area. The service and food are excellent. The service is genuine and thoughtful. They must have read my mind as to how I would prefer to have each dish served. They asked the right questions. This is what ‘service’ should be. The food was very well balanced and absolutely delicious. Superb! Thank you for a memorable meal. You will leave feeling very content.

3 of us went for a special meal Food very appetising and some varied choices Staff absolutely charming and a big asset to the place Only niggles were paper napkins instead of cloth and the garden salad was just lettuce leaves

Absolutely amazing from start to finish, staff lovely and accommodating. Food first class. Wine amazing. Great atmosphere. Staying locally for the weekend and found this place absolutely recommend to anyone

Excellent meal, extensive menu, very good quality food. Will most certainly be eating there again. Would say pretty much faultless. Highly recommend 5*

Excellent meal beautifully cooked and presented. Lovely wine from an extensive list. Service was quick and efficient. Thank you we has a lovely lunch and we will be back.

Had a 60th birthday meal for 11 in the private room. Amazing location, amazing food, and great service by Chris and team. Thank you for making our evening so special and memorable. Deb and Ed Des-Chanelle

Wonderful restaurant with consistently amazing food and service! Cannot fault.

Thank you so much to Chris and the team for accommodating us as a party of 11 on Saturday afternoon. The communication with Chris from the moment we booked until we left was excellent. The food, as always was delicious, beautifully presented and enjoyed by everyone. We all enjoyed the pre dinner cocktails, and good selection of wines. It was nice to be tucked away from other diners and still feel like valued customers. I will continue to thoroughly recommend the Inn for couples and groups alike. Many thanks again Chris.

Always a very good meal here. Bit pricey but for special occasions it's a must. As the saying goes "you get what you pay for". Excellent food.

Beautiful lunch. Malvern hills in view outside. Lush. Great service. Lovely for our 10th wedding anniversary 😊

It was very good but pricey. For 2 of us having 3 courses and a couple of drinks each was £150. Can't fault food or service but this needs to be borne in mind. It was our anniversary bash so money was not our prime concern this time but.........

Definitely one of the best restaurants around the area! Food is always cooked to perfection, very helpful staff and brilliant atmosphere! 100% the chateaubriand!

Superb as always. We are always looked after well here. Sunday luncheon for a family occasion. Best Sunday roast in Worcestershire. A lovely calm and relaxing country restaurant . Some really great driving roads around the area too

We enjoyed our visit, meal and drinks on a lovely summer evening. I was surprised how quiet the place was on a Thursday. This place is definitely a restaurant first - none the worse for that but a quiet drink during an evening outing is not their sweet spot. Good value for money because of the quality of the cooking and ingredients - would be lovely to see more provenance on the menu. Good veggie options and plenty of nonalcoholic options too

The food was very well cooked (especially the lamb which was absolutely amazing). Very friendly and responsive staff. The prices are down to earth. Definitely, will recommend this restaurant to all my friends.

Fabulous food consistently on every visit, outstanding service and a lovely atmosphere- we will continue to visit 🫶🏼 Just be sure to book a table in advance

The food was expensive and bland

A wedding anniversary lunch and so glad we ate here.

An absolute gem, could not fault the food, service or atmosphere. In fact every dish was delicious, very reasonably priced for the quality, and the staff were extremely attentive. Would highly recommend, particularly enjoyable for a special occasion.

There needs to be more places like this.. eat here and you will not be disappointed Varied, seasonal, exciting menu. We ate trout with seaweed beurre blanc and asparagus, chicken terrine with wild garlic. Interesting and reasonably priced wine list. Service top notch - attentive, kind and knowledgeable, you can tell they are super passionate about what they do. The type of place you want to bring your picky parents. Thank you very much for a wonderful lunch.

Top notch Sunday Lunch, probably the best I've had in Worcestershire (a few come close). Starter and a main for under £30, and well worth the money. Lovely venue, and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Hightly recommend this place.. Especially for a special ocassion, worth spending a bit extra if you can.

Lovely place. Sunday lunch was excellent and I can't fault the service, everyone we interacted with was friendly. Would highly recommend you visit

Lovely food and service. Outside for a drink was pretty too. Expensive but you get what you pay for

Delicious food and fabulous service in beautiful surroundings. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

I have been meaning to visit the Inn as I have heard great things about it and the food. So yesterday we went for lunch. The service and the staff were lovely. They made us feel welcome. So fo starter we had double cheese souffle which was delightful. I had the fillet steak for main which was also delicious. Finishing off with the chocolate fondant and hazelnut and vanilla ice cream. I can safely say the food is just amazing. Thank you to all the staff.

I’ve been here a few times now! I always get surprised thinking it couldn’t get any better but it does. The atmosphere, omg the food but the staff honestly I dont know where you find such amazing staff ! The owners should be very very proud. I had my birthday celebrations there on the 29th march 24’ honestly I would highly recommend and so lucky it’s on my doorstep but if you thinking oh it’s a drive it’s honestly worth every second to do so. I would book as it gets busy.Thank you again to everyone at the Inn. I will say my children are at the age of eating in very nice restaurants around the country and said it also was superb.See you again soon.

Visited many times! Brilliant with gluten free. Very friendly service and delicious food. We’ll be back!

Lovely place to eat good service great food never rushed would highly recommend

Great restaurant, haven't been for a while. The menu didn't disappoint.

A delightful restaurant with delicious food, friendly and helpful staff and a wonderful ambiance. All in all a really special experience.

Best meal we’ve had for AGES. We will be back.

We visited The Inn at Welland as a family of 4 this evening for my mother’s 72nd birthday and can’t fault a single thing about the experience. Lovely atmosphere, spotlessly clean, fantastic food, and wonderfully attentive and friendly staff. The latter really topped off the evening, as this seems to be lacking with so many other venues these days. I called earlier in the day to confirm the booking and happened to mention that 2 attendees would be arriving a little later as a surprise to for my mother. The staff went as far as to put the 2 who had already arrived at a table for 2 as not to give the game away. I highly recommend this place and am already looking to plan our next visit.

Amazing food & great customer service

We were lucky to get a late notice booking to the ‘Inn at Welland’ for a Sunday Roast. The staff were friendly and attentive, and all the little touches (for example fresh flowers, and the charcoal stick in the water) show the care that this restaurant takes in making sure you have an enjoyable experience. The chicken thigh starter was delicious, and the roast beef was surrounded by the most wonderful beef gravy. And the desserts (apple croissant pit and lemon tart) were a wonderful way to finish the meal.

Everything about The Inn At Welland works for me - warm welcome, genuinely friendly staff, excellent food and a delightful atmosphere - what more could you ask? We visited Christmas Eve lunchtime, arguably one of the busiest sessions, and the restaurant was full but the service was attentive, without being overly so, and the food perfectly cooked and promptly served. This was our first visit and we are fortunate to live within a 10 minute drive - we’ll certainly be back, and probably soon.

The best meal out I've had in a long time. Will be going back again

Had a lovely meal. Was quite pricey but very much worth it. The atmosphere was great and service was on point.

Returning after a few years, was very impressed by the consistent quality of food and friendly/attentive/relaxed service. Deserves it's Bib Gourmet in recognition of it being a leading restaurant in the area.

Fantastic Christmas Day Lunch. Thank you David and Gillian A really festive atmosphere, staff were amazing. Put our names down for next year.

Excellent food and service. But the atmosphere was spoilt by three men on the next table talking loud and a lot of swearing.

A beautiful Inn, superb food, very well worth the visit from just outside Cardiff. 100% recommend....

Beautiful food, service was fantastic, accommodated an extra person to the table at the last minute. 2nd time coming here and it won't be the last

I've visited this restaurant regularly over the past few years and never reviewed it. Its consistently faultless. Menu choice is always interesting, food is perfectly cooked and beautifully presented, service is attentive but not intrusive and ambience is spot on. Will definitely be back!

From start to finish absolutely superb. Greeted with a warm welcome and seated immediately. Drinks arrived quickly. Extremely knowledgeable waitress who clearly explained the specials with great detail. Food, service, wine and drinks above and beyond. It is a little pricey but …. In life you tend to get what you pay for - here it is clearly more than worth it. You need to book well in advance, which pretty much tells you all you need to know.

Exceptionally good food at a very reasonable price. I’m no expert, but I (and my wife) felt that the standard of cooking here was outstanding. Soufflé, as a savoury starter or as a desert (we had both between us) was fantastic. My venison main was knock out good and my wife’s gurnard main was apparently superb. Pork belly starter for me also deserves a mention too, it was absolutely lovely. The service is pretty good too. A very nice, well run restaurant with outstanding fud!

Completely Faultless birthday celebration from the minute we walked in the door to the minute we walked out. My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time with great food, a brilliant atmosphere and wonderful staff. There was a large selection of drinks available but we went safe with a lovely bottle of red and started with soufflé and belly pork. After these the standard just rose, expertly cooked duck and steak for main was followed by sorbet and sticky toffee and all was topped off with some more drinks, including a new found love in my life…………..Bumbu rum !! The staff were very friendly, attentive and extremely helpful throughout the evening, nothing was too much trouble. As we got the got the bill we were asked by the waiter about our reason for the visit, we explained it was for my girlfriend’s birthday to which he returned a few minutes later we a small cake and candle, completely unprompted or planned but made us both smile and it was a small gesture that made a huge impression and rounded off a great evening perfectly. Thank you to all the staff at the Inn for a magical evening and we’ll definitely be back soon.

I do not normally write reviews but after the fabulous experience I had here last weekend I wanted to make the time to do so. The food was absolutely delicious but what made this time particularly special was how lovely and attentive our waitress Claire was with my 90 year grandfather. She really went out of her way to talk to him and make sure he was settled and happy. This is not the kind of service you get in most restaurants and my grandfather and I go out a lot. I hope Claire receives this feedback personally!

A wonderful venue to meet up for sunday lunch.The food was spot on,the Butty bach very tasty.The staff were wonderful and friendly.Will return in the not too distant future.

Well I can't really put into words the amazing service we had yesterday . Absolutely terrific . We were told they were fully booked as we completely forgot to pre book and the lovely owner managed to fit us in and I am so glad he did because I've never had food like it . The starter blew us all away and then the main was just delectable. Once it entered your mouth it just leaves you speechless with flavours. 10/10 for everything . Will definitely be back with a booking .. incredible

A leaving dinner for a couple of long serving staff 5 of us in total. We all had different starters , Mains and Puddings. Everything was cooked to perfection. The whole team at The Inn made us feel welcome and the service was excellent.

Just good food Fresh Food Well executed Friendly Staff Deserves to do well Unsurprisengly you need to book ! We will return

Amazing Sunday lunch. Really good value for money, we had such a lovely meal. Even though it was very busy, staff were attentive and friendly and the service was excellent.

Fabulous food and menu Only draw back was that I can't eat cream so I couldn't have a few things on the menu such as mashed potato. I was offered something else but I love mashed potato. We asked one of the staff what beers there were and she didn't know. Minor irritations. The chef worked at Champignon Savage in Cheltenham which was a 2 star. We have eaten there and the presentation, diversity was very similar. Perfect. Loved the skate in red thai sauce with crispy pickled vegetables. Wish I could have had it as a main. Have already booked again.

Stunning food, Stunning service, stunning dacor. Simply the best place for at least 100 miles!

Sunday lunch was good however bar prices are high. There was Roast Beef and Lamb on the menu but why is there a £3 surcharge on Roast Beef foe Sunday lunch?

We ate here at the weekend for dinner. The staff and food were fantastic. Lots of drinks choices (I was sadly driving so couldn't partake!). The lady who served us was very polite, friendly and professional so big thanks. Our meals were just amazing, the dark chocolate gateaux was stunning. We will definitely be back, it would be a special occasion for us but I can assure you we will be back. Absolutely recommend to everyone looking for a great evening with fantastic food.

Amazing service and food was exceptional. 👌

Really special anniversary meal - delicious meals and excellent service. Would definitely recommend.

Stunning food in a welcoming friendly atmosphere - will remember the experience for a long time. Great food combinations.

A little gem of a restaurant just outside Welland. Local produce cooked to perfection and a great wine choice too. We especially liked the Solaris from Deer Hall Park, Eckington … a British wine that thoroughly deserves its reviews. The staff were friendly and took their time to talk us through the menu, which was reasonably priced. We will be back soon!

Although this is a pub, and no doubt one can order a bar meal plus a pint, it's a lot more than that. It's a destination in its own right. We attended a lunchtime wedding celebration for 14, and the experience was sublime. Certainly, we had pre-ordered, but I do not suppose the standard of service would have been any the less had we just dropped in: this is a close, family-run establishment where everyone seems to know exactly what they're doing. Every single individual dish order was correctly delivered and served - the waiting staff knew who had ordered what. So much for service, you say, what about the food? Well, five stars all around - it's a long time since I had anything like this at a pub - top restaurant quality, cooked and presented with ingredients along the maxim of "the better you put in the better it'll come out". Particularly recommend the venison, and the truly beautiful cherry sorbet for pudding. Make the trip. You will not regret it.

Outstanding food, great service and fab hosts - we had a gorgeous meal and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. If you haven't been, this is a must visit restaurant.

The Inn at Welland is fantastic. We visited for Sunday lunch, everything we had was delicious but the the roast beef in particular was incredible.

Lovely food, great surroundings and helpful, attentive staff. Highly recommended.

Probably the best meal we've had in our lives. Fantastic Service, Lovely Atmosphere. Worthy of it's place in Michelin Guide and more. Would whole heartedly recommend and will definitely revisit if we are in the area again!

Outstanding! That adjective applies to every aspect. Service, menu, ambience and over all experience. It was so great to have lunch in what was a busy restaurant and it still feel calm and no background music, so we could enjoy a conversation. On leaving, my car wouldn’t start and I had to wait for RAC, the staff made me feel welcome and looked after me as if I were still a customer. I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend

One of our favourite restaurants in Worcestershire with exceptional service and thoughtfully prepared food. Special mention to Chris for making our visits so enjoyable.

I am not sure if I have reviewed this venue before and I probably only manage to get there a couple of times a year but it is just so consistently good - it's one of those restaurants you can confidently take people to knowing...

Couldn’t have had a more perfect lunch. Every course was exquisite. The garden is beautiful, and the view sublime. The staff were delightful. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Ate lunch at the Inn today with my wife and friends. We have never been disappointed by the quality of the food, the service and the pub itself but today's lunch we all thought was exceptional. We all had three courses and thoroughly enjoyed each....

I’ve been coming here for a few years. I reckon it’s as good as it’s ever been. The cooking is borderline Michelin The main of the pork chop - Gloucester old spot - eminently difficult to cook is superb !

Simply superb. One of the best three course meals I've ever had. Fabulous wine as well. We'll be back.

First off you should book to avoid disappointment. We had a great meal here in z Friday evening. The seated garden are is lovely with views of the Malvern Hills. You can eat out here, or have pre dinner drinks, as we did. A cosmopolitan...

Ate here for the first time last night for our anniversary. Very pretty place, tastefully decorated and we had a warm welcome. Unusually, we had 3 courses simply because the quality of the food was so good. The flavours were incredible, and the food was...

This restaurant keeps getting better! Beautiful food in a friendly, welcoming setting. A wednesday evening, and it was quite busy, but the staff coped magnificently. My mum had a vegetarian dish and really enjoyed it. I had Cotswold chicken which was brilliant. I don't know...

We met as a family here, some coming South, some coming North. We were late because the M6 was so congested, no fuss from The Inn, welcomed when we arrived 40 minutes late for our table. Relaxed environment, beautiful views over the Malvern Hills. We...

The Inn at Welland has got it SO right. Have now visited for lunch, dinner and Sunday lunch. The atmosphere is lovely. Relaxed beautifully decorated and totally professional no wonder it was full of happy diners this weekend. The food really is a class above...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Inn at Welland, and I can honestly say that it was the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. The food was absolutely outstanding, the service was impeccable, and the ambience was simply delightful. For our mains, we had the chicken and the duck. The chicken was the most succulent and flavorful chicken I have ever had, and the duck was cooked to perfection. Both dishes were served with sides of vegetables that were cooked just right. The service at The Inn at Welland was top-notch. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable, and she made sure that we had everything we needed. The ambience at The Inn at Welland is warm and inviting. The restaurant is located in a beautiful building, and the dining room is decorated in a contemporary style. The tables are spaced well apart, so you feel like you have your own private space. Overall, I had an absolutely amazing experience at The Inn at Welland. The food was incredible, the service was impeccable, and the ambience was delightful. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly special dining experience.

Absolutely love this place, special for so many reasons. From entering the car park you can clearly see the hard work that goes into the upkeep of this amazing restaurant. The grounds are beautiful with the stunning view of the Malvern’s in the background, it’s...

Had high expectations of our night out - and this was surpassed. The food flavours were as good as Ive had in far more expensive restaurants. The service and attention to detail were first class. All this at what I would regard as a very...

Sensational meal at the Inn at Welland, this lunchtime, for a family wedding anniversary. We sat outside in the beautiful garden, received excellent, friendly service and ate exquisite food. Perfect portion sizes and an excellent wine menu. We will certainly be back!

Superb last minute meal out! Thank you.

Went out for a special meal , great website , service very slow, food portions miserly, hustled from table with each plate removed before table had finished eating, well overpriced for food provided , unlikely to return
