The Old Palace in Wychavon

It was indeed a beautiful building in a beautiful setting and the food was amazing. But this little hidden gem in Worcester is no more - the restaurant has now closed.

We had a lovely meal served by friendly staff in historic surroundings unique to Worcester. The view from the window seat of the great hall of the river is one of the best in Worcester!

We took a dear friend out for lunch and as a visitor to the city thought she might enjoy the experience of lunch in the delightful and historic ambiance of the Old Palace - which she (as well as ourselves) did! This is one of those `hidden gems` - a fascinating venue where one can enjoy home cooking, old fashioned welcome, great value for money and soak up the atmosphere of one of Worcester`s most delightful historic buildings (which of course is handy for both city centre and the cathedral.) The food is simple, home cooked and delicious and after a generous lunch one can enjoy coffee in the main hall overlooking the river and the fields beyond. Lunch is worth seeking out. But the best part of this wonderful lunchtime is, as always, the warmth and friendliness of the ladies who run the restaurant - they are exceptional and cannot be praised enough. It is though a little sad that despite the well earned praise there is one irritating detail - the inability to pay by card for the meal - one has to use cash. Really this is a nuisance - fortunately today we had enough - but we could so easily have been embarrassed if there was insufficient on us. The nice ladies are all too aware of this and were equally embarrassed - so please do rectify this as you could make this exceptional experience a complete one! Overall - exceptional, truly exceptional. Malcolm

I only discovered this cafe today and what a find, situated in this beautiful old building with very friendly staff I enjoyed an excellent pot of tea and I will definitely be back soon and have my lunch here

This is a special place. Come and see for yourself. I love to go there very often

Meal of the day for £6, what great value for money. Freshly cooked for us and served hot and with a smile. Choice of desserts including home cooked crumble. Comfortable restaurant. Atmosphere in the lounge of a gentleman's club, where you can enjoy a coffee. Enjoyable visit.
