The Old Rectifying House in Worcester

Absolutely superb place. The food, wine and service was first class. I cannot believe that someone called Steven McCabe has posted a one star review simply because he couldn't get through on the telephone to book a table. What an idiot! People like him have no idea how damaging this can be to a new owner who has taken over the business- and as this 'Steve' hasn't even eaten at the venue his review should not be allowed. Anyway, do not be put off as this place is simply wonderful. The Old Rectifying House was always one of my favorite pub/ eateries in Worcester and it remains so under its new name of Yeliz. Also, Isabella, the ladie who looked after us was amazing- so attentive and helpful. Ten out of ten 👍

Would love to had tried this restaurant but could not book. Telephone number cut off not bother to try again!!!!!

We dined here on Saturday evening we chose the Smoked garlic ciabatta with whipped goats butter & the Pimento stuffed green olives to have before our starters along with a couple of nice cocktails. The Olives were really nice fresh tasting good quality olives, the Garlic ciabatta was fine.The staters we chose the Wild mushroom risotto scotch egg, white wine sauce, this was very nice although quite a big portion for a starter but very tasty.I had the Moules mariniere, toasted ciabatta the mussels were steamed perfectly although not very plump they still tasted great & the cream white wine sauce perfection really good, although no toasted ciabatta bread just two pieces of french stick!!!!!!!!.The Mains i chose the Tempura battered haddock, Old Rec chips, tartar sauce, parsley marrow fat peas & my wife chose the Rare breed feather blade of beef, creamed potatoes, buttered greens The Feather blade of beef was nice the meat was a little dry but still ok the greens and Mashed potato all good.The tempura haddock was disappointing The batter was `not tempura it was a crispy dust when cutting into eat tasteless worst battered fish i have ever had.The service was fine but the mains were not that good really the Tempura fish was not good at all . That is why i have said Little above average starters were good mains a let down

Every time we visit Worcester we go to this restaurant. It is a fantastic venue, the food is excellent, staff all warm and friendly. Far far better than any Chain run establishments.

Booked the Sunday lunch and wasn’t disappointed. My partner had the pork which came with crackling whist I had the Roast Beef. Very nice size portions and vegetables presented on the side. Staff very friendly and gave us some additional tips for our stay in Worcester. We would recommend.

We were visiting Worcester and came to this restaurant for dinner as our hotel was nearby. There were a group of us and were all very impressed with the food and service. The staff were most helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

Interesting old building with pleasant entrance. Friendly staff and interesting menu. Our first deep fried pickles!! Good vegan choices. The portions are generous and good value. Tables are a bit dark so candles would be nice but otherwise a great choice in Worcester.

We had a great meal at the Old Rectifying House. Treated ourselves to two cocktails which were absolutely delicious and would highly recommend. Good varied choice on the menu. Food excellent and staff very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return if in the area again.

We went for my 64th birthday last night. As visitors to the area we had relied on trip advisor reviews and we were not disappointed . The food was excellent and there was a variety to cater for our different tastes. We all came away agreeing we had enjoyed every course we had. It felt safe COVID wise - tables well spaced out. Staff were efficient and pleasant but we did not feel rushed. An excellent dining out experience.

Our first visit as new residents of Worcester and won’t be our last. Really good food and enjoyed our meal. Fantastic.

Had the moules marinaire to start..fish and chips to follow and a cheese board to finish off. Hubby had bones in his fish but we had an apology and a small reduction off the bill . It was a really lovely meal everything was tasty and a nice atmosphere .

Really disappointed given its Michelin Guide mention; So slow service and the dishes, which look promising on the menu, small and very basic - I could have cooked this at home! My rump steak, cooked well but the accompaniments; undressed rocket, one half grilled tomato, field mushroom and small portion of (possibly Aunt Bessies) chunky chips. Didn’t have a starter but the rest of my party had the scallops and we’re not particularly impressed. We did not stay for dessert.

We visited here as a party of 5, 4 adults and 1 infant. A high chair was provided. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Two had the roast pork, one fish and chips and one steak. The pork was tender and moist, my husband asked for extra crackling and was presented with a side dish of it which he loved! We had sides of chilli jam, onion rings and 'frickles' which are deep fried pickles!! Amazing! They served food up until 4:00 and we did not order until about 3:30, but everything we ordered was available and fresh. Great visit. Would recommend.

Had dinner here this evening with my husband - made very welcome despite having no reservation . Staff very attentive and friendly , water brought to the table once seated and given menus. Nice to to have to ask. Husband is vegetarian and had scotch egg for starter which was really nice, I had the duck hash which was utterly delicious . Husband had falafel burger and chips whilst I had the tempura battered fish and chips, both well presented and very tasty. The service was excellent and efficient- did not have to wait long to order or for our starters and mains. Only regret is, we did not have room for dessert!!! Will visit again when in the area.

It’s been a few years since we last visited the Old Rectifying House. I’ve been reading and hearing some really good things about the food recently so we thought we’d give it a try. We were not disappointed. The menu is imaginative and makes you want to try everything! I had the Curried Chicken Kiev which was so good! My husband had the fish and again, it was excellent. The garden area is lovely and the service was outstanding. We will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu! Highly recommended!

With family living nearby, we visit Worcester regularly from our home in London , and this is by far the best restaurant I've been to in the city. It offers great food, great service and - considering how superior its product - great value. From the moment I asked the delightful Ali to help us choose some dishes from its award-winning menu, and she simply could not have been more helpful or knowlegable,we had a really special time. I even gave one of their vegan offerings a go - and it was truly the most mouth watering sticky toffee pudding I've ever tasted. Maybe the location, right by the busy A44 in the heart of Worcester, is not its most desirable attribute. But in the gastronomic desert that is this city, this place and its lovely staff stands out..

A restaurant really more than a pub but the food was excellent and different. Really interesting tastes and mixtures of tastes. Lovely welcoming staff. I'm not a lover of cold craft beer but there were alternatives (wine, cocktails lager etc).

Food was sensational. Absolutely loved the meal, which was just made better by the equally great service from the team and venue. Cannot wait to visit Worcester again so I can eat here.

We booked this place based on its inclusion in the Michelin Guide. Perhaps our expectations were too high. Very friendly staff and nice location. My starter of scallops was nothing special while my husband really enjoyed his duck hash. My main course of sea bass was well cooked and nicely presented but the chips that went with my husbands steak were over cooked to the point of being inedible.

Lovely outdoor area, very friendly staff and the food is delicious. The vegan roast is the best I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to re-visit.

We popped in on Saturday hoping for a quick after dinner drink in the garden. The staff went out of there way to accommodate us, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and we look forward to returning ASAP

Attended for a friend’s birthday. The service was welcoming and efficient. The food was superb - I had fish and chips and it was cooked and presented perfectly; portion size just right. We sat outside because of current restrictions and the environment is lovely: sheltered and private, with nice planting. The only downside was a lack of outdoor heating - but this is a very small point. Would definitely return in sunnier weather/when in-door eating is possible.

Welcoming and relaxed environment with a menu with a bit of a difference and great food. We had salsify carbonara with pig cheeks and haddock and chips. Both dishes were outstanding. A mention should also go to the staff who were helpful and again relaxed which added to the experience. I guess I should also mention COVID! Phone cal before hand to check we were a single household and tier 2 (a massive plus for us) and once there great social distancing and measures. What was nice though is that they didn’t affect the experience.

Really good food. Recommend the Pheasant or Carbonara. Well worth a visit. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable.

Good social distancing measures, but the restaurant still has a good atmosphere, we booked for 7:30 and it was more or less full by 8, the staff are friendly but professional, and the service is efficient, the drinks menu has a good variety, a selection of beers (our waiter even told us, without asking, that one beer wasn’t available and what they had instead) I tried a couple of cocktails, both were excellent. The food menu is varied, and they have a vegan menu, we opted to skip starters and go to mains and have a dessert instead, both dishes were very good, especially my rare breed featherblade of beef, my veggie wife went for gnocchi, which was good but there was too much of it (better than not enough), deserts were both excellent, ginger treacle loaf and chocolate ganache with brandy soaked cherries, fantastic, so in summary, we enjoyed the visit and the food (and cocktails), it’s good to get out in what feels like a safe and warm setting, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it, and we will be back in the near future.

Wonderful selection of foods to keep the whole family happy and well fed. Lots of choice plus the traditional Sunday lunch. The price of the lunch included all the vegetables and trimmings including cauliflower cheese! Lots of choice for vegetarians and vegans makes this a great choice for all, I will be back when I can!!!

Fantastic food and great atmosphere despite social distancing. Would highly recommend the risotto scotch egg and the pig cheek tart with pear sorbet, yum

Very nice atmosphere and decent choice of wine. Well spaced tables and good service. Hope to return and spend more time in The Old Rectifying House.

My wife and I met up with our son and his fiance for the first time in a long time for Sunday dinner. Having read the reviews we were really looking forward to this as I have found unless we cook it ourselves we rarely get a decent roast. First impressions were good, it seems very Covid safe, staff were pleasant and helpful throughout our visit and it does have a nice ambiance, if more than a little dark, particularly where we were sitting. Unfortunately my wife and I in particular were a little underwhelmed to say the least at our Roast Beef choice. The younger members of our party chose the Vegan option, which they said was ok. Unfortunately our beef was rarer than we would normally like, which is the fashion and we could have lived with that, but it was very difficult to cut, even when we asked for and were given Steak knives, and was also pretty tasteless.,on the plus side both the side order of vegetables which came with it and the cauliflower cheese/brocolli were both quite good. However even worse than the meat were the Roast ptatoes , which were possibly the worst I have ever tasted. They were hard, overcooked and far too herby for liking. Similarly the Yorkshire Pudding was hard and very dry. At least all the sweets we chose including my Treacle Tart were quite good and the drinks were reasonably priced for a bar of this type. It may be that there were problems in the kitchen on this day, but on this evidence we would not rush back for Sunday lunch at least.

What a gastronomic delight! My husband and I were visiting Worcester for the day on our wedding anniversary and wanted a special lunch. We were not disappointed. Opting for the set menu we had a delightful treat in store. I had a most interesting and delicious starter of scotch egg encased in a mushroom risotto with a light and creamy white wine sauce followed by an equally superb main of mussel tagliatelle and tempting desserts. The decor and music created a pleasant ambience with polite and helpful staff. If visiting the area again we would definitely return.

Had drinks upstairs where the service was great which continued when we ate downstairs. Food was absolutely delicious- best piece of featherblade of beef I have had in a long time. Would definitely recommend going here

I spent the afternoon here today with a friend for drinks followed by a meal. The service was exceptional and the food was first class. I was also impressed by the Covid secure arrangements which are important at the moment.

Visited the first weekend the restaurant reopened. We were so excited that they were back and the food and atmosphere didn't disappoint. The food is simply amazing, the portions look small on first sight but it's misleading and you always feel pleasantly full at the end if the meal.Our favourite restaurant in Worcester!

Surprisingly good Sunday Roast (beef)! Meat, roast potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding all just perfect! Side veg too. Generous helpings. Desserts were small (thank goodness after the huge Mains) but perfectly formed! Definitely a great Sunday lunch, despite the Covid-19 restrictions!

I have eaten at the Old Rectifying House on half a dozen occasions in recent years, always at lunchtime and always wonderful. Despite the great food , excellent service and reasonable prices I am nearly always the only customer. I am assured it is much busier in the evenings but it seems strange as Worcester isn’t blessed with too many decent restaurants.

Our favourite restaurant, sadly no longer. Fancied a pick me up lunch for the family and keen to support after reopening.Inside was dark and smelled of damp,outside the garden was messy and uninviting.The food has sadly taken a nose dive, when it used to be by far the best. Portions were very small and tasteless. Beer was cloudy...All for £80!A McDonald's would have matched it on quality- never thought I could put that comparison in the same context!!We won't be going back, so,so, sad....

This was the first time we had been to the Old Rectifying House since it re-opened. We went for lunch, and had the set menu. The refurbishment after the flood has been beautifully done. The food was delicious. The staff were lovely. What more can you ask for. It's probably the best place to eat in the city.

Well organised COVID safe set up. Excellent food. Fish and chips on Friday was very good. Hanger steak excellent

We’ve been here numerous times and can not recommend it highly enough. The food is always delicious and the staff are so, so friendly and attentive. Matt and his team are truly outstanding; they aren’t phased by our 3 and 7 year olds - it’s such a lovely atmosphere here. Bouncing back after the floods and Covid-19, they have been amazing. The place looks great and we’ve missed them! We will continue to return time and time again. Thank you Matt and team! X

Visited this venue tonight having seen its Michelin awards and was not disappointed. Having just opened after being closed for 7 months due to a river flood in Feb, this restaurant has certainly picked up where it left off with awesome food and friendly service. The menu is exciting and the food is excellent quality and exceptionally tasty and great value for money. If there is a venue that deserves your patronage more than anywhere else in the area, then this is it. Eat here and be prepared to have some of the best food you will ever have. Would give it 6/5 if I could.

We love the Old Rec, it’s in a lovely location over looking the river, it’s great for just a drink or for dinner. The menu is great, lots of different food rather than the standard menu you seem to get at most pubs these days. They also have a separate Vegan Menu with lots of choice. Really can’t wait to see them up and running again after the awful flooding.

We had our little girl’s post christening party in the upstairs room. Really lovely space and the staff were great. We had about 60 people, and a lot of kids! We were really well looked after and the food was lovely. We had an afternoon tea type buffet which was perfect and all our dietary requirements were supported and catered for with ease. Ali, who organised our do was lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. Really recommend if you’re looking for somewhere to hold a party.

The actual restaurant is quite nice, pleasant atmosphere,friendly staff however, considering they are marketing this as a Michelin guide restaurant, they are falling well below the line with regard to the food. On the plus side, the starter I had was very nice it was the Wild mushroom risotto scotch egg. My wife had salmon and leek starter which she thought was a little over the top with the leeks. I had the hanger steak which to be honest was a bit dry and quite tough. My wife had the Butternut, pine nut & Cornish Blue cheese risotto but found the cheese so overpowering that she could not eat it. The menu was interesting but I don't think we will be rushing back. I will say that because my wife didn't like her main course we were given complimentary drinks, which was a nice touch

Great vegan food and lovely layout, nice and cosy decor. We had great service and although we were here on a Saturday with a large group, we didn’t wait long for food or drinks! They have toys for kids and kids cutlery which was great!

A random night out for a meal.. had wanted to here for a while.... we a 2 course meal.. starters were pate and scallops, both very good. Mains of turbot and the hanger steak... my steak was probably the best steak I'd had, a fair size and so tender it fell apart... the turbot was a little on the small size but excellent.... service was very good too, wit a variety of gins,cocktails and beers...I would highly recommend anyone going there...Thanks to The Old Rec....

We hosted a celebration for our daughters 30th birthday here at the weekend, 12 adults plus a 2 month old baby.Ali and her team were fantastic, making sure the night was perfect. All of our party were very complimentary of the food and the venueThank you again for being part of a very enjoyable and successful weekend.

Reasonable food. Although portions were small. Wouldn’t rush back to be honest. We were here for a special occasion, and it’s a fab location, but the food let the place down. Shame, could be brilliant

Twice we've been on a Sunday. I usually prefer not to have a roast but this is the only real option if you don't want something and chips. Beef and pork were nice, roast chicken fillet a little dry. Desserts OK but not as exciting as they sound on the menu. Quite pricey too. We've had better meals for less. Staff all very nice though.

We popped in on our way back from town; as we often do. The staff are really friendly and welcoming, which adds to the relaxed drinking and dining experience. I would recommend The Old Rectifying House for a hearty meal, cocktail, or a pint in a contemporary place.

We took my parents out for dinner here on a Friday night and it was even better then we expected after we had read all of the fantastic reviews.

Came here on the Friday before new year for a meal, my partner and I had come away to Worcester for a treat and this place sealed the deal. We had 3 courses, starting with the scotch egg (partner) pate (me) followed by a recommended vegan main (gnocchi) which was amazing (me) partner had hanger steak which he seamed to enjoy. Topped off with pudding and a couple of cocktails (deal 2 for 1)before 8pm which the waitress made sure we knew about it! Definitely would come back for dinner. The second night we was in Worcester we decided to pop back for a night cap, the top half of this restaurant / pub is completely different and gave us a whole new vibe (not bad) it was a nice surprise!

Went along with friends. 1x vegetarian, 1 pescatarian and 1 vegan. A challenge for most restaurants but not for the Old Rec. great food and service as always.

1st visit to Worcester and stopped into the old rectifying house really nice place we only had drinks and we were well catered for with a good selection of drinks and good attention to detail when serving

With a party of one vegan and three pescatarians, we had plenty to choose from. The food was delicious, although the bacon (or chorizo?) in the fish dish was a surprise, as it had not been mentioned on the menu. The young waiter thought we must be mistaken but agreed to check with the kitchen, who confirmed the mammalian presence. Thankfully my husband was gracious and insisted on picking this out rather than choosing something else, and the manageress was very quick, helpful and discrete and took the cost of this off our bill. Otherwise, the chips were the best that any of us had had in a long time, the vegan tagine with olives and preserved lemons was amazing, the vegan fish and chips earned a rave review - and the desserts / cheeseboard were amazing too.

On a friend’s recommendation my son and I came here for lunch before watching a great match between the Warriors and the Sale Sharks at the Sixways stadium. I had haddock & chips and he a beef burger with chips both of which were perfect for the occasion. Service was cheerful and ambience an interesting juxtaposition of pub and restaurant. We’d go again any time.

Came here for our teams Christmas get together and we all had a great time.

I have nothing but praise for the food, ambience and amazing cocktails. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful . Reasonably priced great food. Will definitely go again the next time we stay in Worcester.

I had my 50th birthday celebration here in the upstairs bar - fabulous buffet food, so tasty. Ambience was great. We had our own bar and bar tender Niamh, who looked after us so well. Thank you very much to Matt, Ali and the team for a truly fantastic birthday celebration.

We visited for a meal with colleagues. They wanted to try traditional British fare and loved the beef and fish dishes. The Scotch Egg started as a massive hit. My vegan choice of cauliflower pancakes followed by falafel burger were nice but needed some additional sauces or condiments. The staff were friendly and the service very good. Always a delight to visit the Old Rec, and very glad that my visitors enjoyed it.

Gorgeous food, lots of choice for all diet requirements, lovely staff and fantastic view. Loads of different drinks to choose from too

Food imaginative and clearly prepared with care. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Always a pleasure!

fab birthday lunch for two. the staff are very friendly, the menu is excellent, especially for veggies. good drinks range. the food was well presented and tasted lovely. i can see why you have a mitchelin star, you have earned it. well priced and comfortable warm atmosphere. ps reading thro the other reviews i absolutely loved your response to botch49. well handled!

What a great establishment. Such a professional manager who gave great service and kept us informed about how long we'd have to wait for a table. The Sunday menu choices were lovely, great roast pork and hanger steaks. The vegetables were brilliant so well cooked and meals well presented. Icing on the cake was dessert, and I don't usually eat them, coffee cake with espresso meringue and mascarpone icecream, yum yum.

Superb experience. Just right service. Personal and easy the whole experience was professional, confident and comfortable. Food is what you'd hope for from knowledgeable experienced chefs with a complete passion for food, flavour and provenance. Front of house staff are superb. You must go!

Having a bouncer on the door is never a good sign for a restaurant but we still gave it a go............. should have gone elsewhere!! The food?? Appalling!! a starter containing black pudding sounded interesting and it certainly was, deep fried balls of something, ghastly taste as the oil was dirty when fried!! Informed the “waitress” who tried to tell me they weren’t fried, she went away then came back to tell me that they were fried but it was clean oil........ I’m really sorry but trying to point score with a paying customer?? How about keep your mouth shut and just do your job! The mains were bad, I had lamb, to be fair the lamb was lovely, the rest of it was dire, my partners risotto was bland and tasted of nothing, not a lot of the meals were eaten. The gobby waitress brought the bill so I went and had a word with the cook, not Chef as a Chef wouldn’t have served this garbage, he was gobby also....... Apparently they are Michelin recommended??? What ever that means, a bit like the Fat Duck and the Waterside! I think the guy who owns this place has a curry house in the town.........avoid this place like the plague!

I visited the Old Rec for the first time recently with a friend who was not in a good head place. They were unfortunately intoxicated before I met them but the Old Rec were understanding and allowed them to sit with me and drink a warm drink whilst I spoke to them. The vodka coke I drank myself was evenly priced, cold and well made and I was overall incredibly happy with how welcoming and accommodating the staff were and how beautiful the outdoor area is.

Always enjoy coming here come rain or shine. The food is always a fantastically high standard and yummy. It feels almost like a Michelin restaurant with how it’s presented and the taste! Thanks to the amazing staff who always chat to us and make you feel it’s home from home! We come here often and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Worcester!

Lovely location, very good meat. all perfect. dinner absolutely to be enjoyed if you are in Worcester

Wen't for a spontaneous dinner as I had seen their new menu on Facebook. Was not disappointed. Staff were very friendly and the cocktails delicious. I ordered the vegan 'fish' and chips which was battered tofu with seaweed and it was stunning. Served with chips and marrowfat peas and tartar sauce. Their vegetarian and vegan range was huge which was great to see. Relaxing atmosphere and a great evening, thank you!

To Rectify means to put right.or make right, and after a busy morning in Worcester, the rumours certainly needed balancing.

Worse Sunday lunch ever 3 pork dinners were full of fat ( not the only ones to complain either) beef dinner came with no yorkie ( when it arrived it was a burnt offering ) the waiter had long hair which should of been tied up ( iv done a food and hygiene course ) and to top it all there was 2 couples on the table behind us who had obviously had too much to drink ( and were still being served alcohol ) who were swearing their language was foul they were using the F word all the while they were eating and the staff could hear them and nothing was said waste of 100 pound never would we go again try BROWNS ON THE QUAY their food looked delicious

We always eat at the old rectifying house when we visit Worcester and have always been very impressed with the superb quality of the food and excellent service. We have recommended it to lots of our friends and family who live in Worcester.

Staff were super friendly and attentive but... The lemon sole was over cooked So was the crab starter The hanger steak was OK Generally OK but would not eat there again for the price in Worcester I would expect more.

On 1 August 2019 I had dinner at the Old Rectifying House. As ever, I was provided the best quality in food, service, atmosphere and courtesy. The menu was most inventive, and the chef deserves a food medal for her/his starters, especially the "tartar beef" (NOT "steak tartar" !). My main course was exquisite, and the staff charming, friendly and helpful. The "Old Rec" still holds the title of "Best Worcester Restaurant" in every respect.

This is a superb restaurant on so many levels. Firstly it serves great meals carefully crafted using fresh ingredients designed to form the basis of an exciting eating occasion. This is enhanced further by a level of service that surpasses highest expectations. Everything the team does is designed to make the diner the focus of all their efforts. Special mention goes to Ali, Toni, Martha, the cocktail expert (sorry I don’t remember his name) everyone preparing meals in the kitchen and all the other servers and team members whose friendliness and charm make it feel like coming home. And thanks to Matt the owner who sets the standards from the top. Add to this a wonderful, characterful and relaxed environment. That’s great hospitality.

We had viewed this pub on line as it had advertised live music for the evening.We phoned and were informed it had cancelled it. Despite this we decided to have a drink there on 25th July 2019. The hottest day on record.

Lunchtime visit. Food was good - aged steak excellent. Nice wines and beers. Decent surroundings. Not very busy, but could be different in the evenings I suppose. Two aperitifs, two main courses and two large glasses of wine - less than £60.00. Will definitely visit again!

Visited for early evening meal. Very quiet. Sat in beer garden at the rear. Staff very welcoming and pleasant. Had burgers which were ok. Chips were excellent. Only downside was the battered onion rings tasted strongly of fish!! I take it they had been deep fried in same oil. Would have been ok if we were eating fish but didn't go well with burger!

had a couple of drinks with my son and managed to leave expensive sun glasses in bar! ( we all know why!!!) Rang them the next day and they had found them -posted them out to me as I iive hundreds of miles away and wouldn,t accept payment. Really appreciated

A very creative menu, with imaginative use of ingredients and flavours. Staff very friendly, professional and attentive. Would definitely recommend a visit

We had a great meal in the Old Rectifying House. A good place for a drink or a meal. Great atmosphere and the staff was very friendly. Ate with our teenage boys and found something for everyone on the menu, incl. vegetarian. A deserved mention in the Red Michelin Guide.

I've been coming here off and on for years and it used to be great with a wide choice and variety of dishes, especially fish and meat. Must have been taken over recently as the menu is very restrictive now. If you're not after a steak or are not vegan/vegetarian DO NOT COME HERE. If you are then maybe give it a try. It's very average and simple food now though. Staff pleasant. Basic pub grub, not quality restaurant food any more. Michelin entry? Someone's having a laugh!!.... No wonder it was almost empty throughout a Friday evening.

We went to the Old rectifying House for the first time a few weeks ago with a group of friends, one of whom recommended it. The ambience was warm and inviting the decor and lighting was great and the staff genuine in their interest in our comfort.

We had the most amazing luncheon and afternoon. Food was fabulous, drinks and wine menu really extensive. The venue was really trendy, quirky and divine. We had a great day and the staff were just brilliant! Barry Mills celebrations were top dollar!

The night we visited there was a function on so normal menu was not available. They were offering a Burger and Bar menu which worked perfectly as we were in a hurry. Old Rec burger looked meaty and juicy and I am told tasted very good. We ordered the full selection of Bao's between two of us and that was more than enough, particularly likes the chicken bar and the mushroom bar.

I visited the Rectifying House on a Sunday, and they managed to fit us in for a late lunch. The service was really efficient, and the food was absolutely fantastic; pub food classics with a modern twist, at reasonable prices.

Expected great things from this place but left feeling disappointed and ripped off. The food we had was average at best and small portions. The drinks were extortionate! The service was mixed, some staff were really friendly and helpful but there was one in jeans and a pink sweater who was moody and rude. No one asked how our meal was. Won’t be returning.

Spent a lovely Saturday afternoon here sitting out in the sunshine, tasting our way through the cocktail menu.

Great catering for our works Christmas party we has the top floor with it's own bar and a buffet and danced all night

This could be a great place but staff don't interact, toilets are grubby and limited for the women. It has zero energy.

First time my family have came to visit me and wish we didn’t come here, took 45 minutes for food and the worst thing is that we paid for our bill and didn’t get the £18 change, we were happy to tip but don’t think it should be assumed! My partner asked if it was practice to keep change and the response was that the ladies at the table said the change could be kept! There were no ladies at the table as we were outside having a cigarette when the bill was dealt with, to lie like that is disgusting as my dad treated us to this meal and in the end no tip was left so go here if you want change kept and staff to lie

Booked a table here for with my friend on Friday night, after a bike ride through the Worcestershire countrywide. Great service, friendly staff. We each chose different courses, which were thoroughly enjoyed by us both, the chicken and leek pie absolutely delicious! A great choice on the menu.

I was among a group of 30 visiting and after reading the reviews I was very excited! We wanted to showcase the best Worcester has to offer.

Once again I find myself back visiting Worcester this time for family birthday.....so I booked a table in my favourite resturant wich I have reviewed a few times before....their hard work seems to have been rewarded. Now in the Michelin guide ..... and well deservedly so it was excellent....califlower and almond soup wich my brother remarked on its delicate taste and excellent texture...I had cured salmon wich was equally as good.....we both drank locally brewed barbourne cider.... mains of duck Brest. And chicken pie followed both equally good with attention to detail. ..exceptionally good mash potato .duck beautifully pink.....all well presented. ....deserts too Cambridge cream to finish....well done!!!! Special mention to Ali the very competent resturant mangeress....excellent all round....try it !!!! You won't be disappointed

We've never actually eaten here so can't comment on the food but it's the main place we head for when in town and wanting a drink. Good choice of ales (especially the Cotswold IPA), good friendly service, comfortable and amenable atmosphere and all in an old pub with plenty of history (if you don't know what a rectifying house was then Google it!). There's also a pleasant little courtyard outside for warmer days and evenings.

Called in here a few times. Only sampled the light menu but totally excellent food quality. Great place to meet up before a night out etc... Handy for before and after boat trips too....

This was a special evening for a party of eleven. The service was first class and the

Popped in today for a Sunday lunch and it was just lovely. Hereford topside beef with all the trimmings, everything was cooked to perfection. I also ordered a side of the homemade chips that were lovely. Nice traditional surroundings. Staff were very attentive, without being overpowering. Will definitely be returning.

Lunchtime food and Wine. I had the Bream, cooked well and with Salad as requested.

This place is on a busy road but if you go through the garden at the back it is an oasis of calm in the busy city. It was very quiet on the lunchtime we went with only a couple of other people eating, but my husband has been before in the evening when it is very buzzy. The food was well cooked and the staff friendly and attentive. Although not vegetarian ourselves we noted the more than average number of vegetarian and vegan choices on the menu. And I shall certainly be returning with my sister who is coeliac and often struggles to find gluten free food on menus. Not here. There was plenty of choice.
