The Orchard Cafe in Worcester

Great place, service and good choice on offer: quite a few plant based options. We liked the booths made out of repurposed carpentry. It was very popular with families and dog owners hence quite noisy so not somewhere for a relaxed/quiet pitstop. Better than your average country park cafe.

First time using the cafe. Speciality hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows was lovely.

Used the takeaway section round the corner from the main cafe there, ordered cappuccino and a sausage sandwich which comes with sauce and onions if required, very tasty but probably expensive for some at £5.95.There is a good selection of cakes, slices and other savoury food and drinks, nice for after a walk round the woods there

Very friendly cafe with a good range of reasonably priced food.

Went here today with my daughter grandson and friend what a lovely place lovely walks , playarea and cafe we will definitely be going again

It is a great facility in Worcester Country Park with inside and outside seating, open all day serving a good selection of food and drinks.

My wife and I stopped by for a pot of tea and a cup of coffee, which were OK, and of course priced to reflect the lack of local competition. We were told where to sit - a six-seat booth - which unfortunately left us nowhere to stow our 3-month-old's pushchair but in the aisle. Received some pretty dirty looks from staff because of this, and were asked to move the pushchair - but given no suggestion as to where. Ended up piling the chairs into a heap to make space. Felt uncomfortable, and drank up and left asap. Asked a member of staff whether there were any baby changing facilities - but didn't know! Pretty odd as there were at least half a dozen babies and toddlers in the cafe at the time, and it seems to be popular with young families. Turned out there were facilities outside the main entrance, but they were filthy. I'd like to apologise to the establishment and staff for being such an imposition by bringing our baby, and we'll be sure not to bring him again. Edit: three years later, and looking for somewhere to stop off for a quick bite when visiting the area again, I stumble across my own review and am reminded to look elsewhere.

A lovely place with polite and friendly staff. Great breakfast.

Lovely food. Lovely staff. Lovely location. Very family friendly. Fantastic natural children's playground right outside.

We went here about 5 years ago, and loved it. We went again today and it had gotten even better. Amazing to stop for breakfast whilst travelling. Welcoming staff and charming decor. Very near to a large carpark with free parking. I highly recommend it if you are near to, or passing through Worcester.

Went for something to eat after a walk around the park today, Absolutely the best BLT ever! Loaded with bacon, cooked to perfection.

Just popped in for a coffee but cake was so tempting and was lovely. Nice atmosphere service very good.

Wonderful place , great food and service, very cosy and great for enture family!!

A really welcoming cafe to take a puppy. After a good walk it’s great to enjoy a coffee and bacon sandwich. Even a puppacino is available which our puppy loves.

Took a small detour from the motorway on a long journey, to stop for breakfast. What a great place. Loads of kids and dogs, and grown-ups enjoying nice food and drink in lovely parkland

Just waited 15 mins to get served. Walked out when they start serving people that had come in after me!!

Dog Friendly cafe, free parking good food and drink. Staff friendly ,and a nice stroll round woods and fields

Nice little coffee shop style cafe. Good range of light meals and snacks. Staff are very pleasant and it rounds off a trip to the Countryside centre very nicely

We had a table booked, service was excellent served by Grace who was very helpful and polite.

Two hot drinks, a bacon sandwich and some dog treats for £12. Good value.

Went for coffee today. Highly recommended

Great service with nice drinks & cakes. Very accommodating and baby friendly.

We attended the Breakfast with Santa event for the second year running this morning and it was magical! The food was delicious, the service impeccable and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The cafe is a family (and dog) friendly restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating in close proximity to the Worcester Woods. Nett and her team run various events throughout the year and the staff are always helpful and inviting. Our go to for fresh air, fun at the park and great food and drink!

Excellent Christmas experience and very well organised

Great place, great food, fast service

Just a quick visit with the dog. We went inside and were made welcome by the waiting staff. Very dog friendly with many treats on offer for them.

Been a few years since i last went in the café and it has changed a bit. Now seems to be more a restaurant with wait staff and being shown to tables. However the coffee and cakes we had were good. The acoustics made it noisy due to high ceiling? as it was very busy. Dog friendly which as on a favoured dog walking area is all to the good for us.

We had a delicious breakfast here. Lived the decor, and the staff were really friendly

Cozy cafe with great service and food.

Food outstanding Staff outstanding

Unusual interior, nice bit of upcycling going on! Nice staff and good service! The cakes are nice! 😁

Worst hot choc ever. Watery with 10 diddy marshmallows. Cake was great hence two star, but my pet hate is hot choc made with water. Water hot choc says 4 scoops, I reckon there was 1 scoop as I could taste the water more than the chocolate. Very disappointed. Why oh why serve hot water chocolate, I’d pay £1-2 for this at a bonfire night, not at an establishment. Milk please and correct measure of chocolate- it’s not that hard to make a decent hot choc, they haven’t got a clue!

My wife and I visited on 21 October and were given a table close to the entrance we both ordered a sandwich which we were enjoying until 3 people came in (all together) with FOUR large dogs which in my opinion constituted a trip hazard. After a few minutes one of the dogs was sick on the floor which obviously put us off our food the dogs were then taken outside by one of the party to wait for the other people. One of the group cleaned up the mess but the place then smelled of disinfectant. We are not anti dogs but there is sufficient room outside to sit with so many animals and it was not raining. We soon left and will not be returning I wish now I had refused to pay the bill but we were so keen to get out. The owners certainly didn't consider anyone else or the health and safety side of the situation all too common today I am afraid. The waiting staff were understandably embarrassed by the situation. Brian Townsend.

The worst dining experience ever. As a group of 9 we were asked to pre order, we were then told they didn’t have all that was ordered. They forgot one of the meals, then informed us that they didn’t have it… the waitress didn’t even check that we had the correct number of meals. The 2 x pizza’s were only cooked around the edges and were not edible. After various delays and excuses we accepted a reduction on the bill and all vowed to never return. Hugely disappointing.

Decided to grab a coffee and bacon sandwich for a walk around the woods. Was the worst sandwich we have ever had. Had to be thrown away after 1 bite, and the coffee tasted diluted and not worth the money at all!

Lovely food with a good selection for vegetarians. Dog friendly both inside and outside the cafe. Hubby said his burger was great quality meat and very tasty. My teriyaki salmon bowl was delicious. Large selection of drinks and a few treats for dogs too. Service was fast and efficient.

Didn't eat this time but it's usually great - love the vegan brunch.

Lovely coffee. Bacon sandwich was cold.

Great place for all the family, the cakes are second to non

Lovely location, and a reasonable choice of fayre. Sadly the system for ordering and then receiving your items is floored, because often the announcement of your order being ready is often so quiet it goes unheard. Then coffee can be left to become tepid before collection. Either speak up and ensure the recipients have heard you or employ a better method. Otherwise I enjoy my visits.

Such a lovely cafe! Free parking, kids play area, lovely woodland walk. Dogs are allowed into the cafe which is beautifully decorated. We will definitely be visiting again, food was delicious! There is an all day breakfast menu, as well as pizzas, burgers and lots for children on the menu highly recommend the mushrooms on sour dough! Also very reasonably priced! Dog sausages and treats are also available!

Looking dishevelled. I was outside under cover and there were spilt drinks in several places. No attempt had been made to clear litter or spillage. Worst was the chairs, at some time a very amateurist attempt has been made to weld the seats but, OH DEAR, what a botch ... the weld is broken and the tubing on the chairs has literally been blown away by use of inappropriate welding. These chairs, and I mean these because lots are affected are, dangerous.

Was really busy and a bit noisy but is popular with young children and dogs allowed, so to be expected! Interesting decor, our table was a door!! Good food, cafe quickly and reasonable prices. Very close to the hospital.

Always go there when visiting Worcester Hospital, the wife drops me off at hospital and then parks at Worcester Woods, to walk the dog. When I have finished I walk back grab a coffee and a bite to eat at the cafe. Good choices of food and drink, pleasant service, dog friendly

1st time visiting today, and was a brilliant experience. The food was fairly priced, quickly delivered and VERY good!! Servers were attentive and polite, place was clean and had lovely decor. My only comment would be too much attention on the takeaway window meant we waited slightly longer than I'd have liked for how busy it was for a waiter to take our order. But that's being picky. You can even take your dogs inside which was lovely, and they have a doggy menu!

Nice cafe that accepts dogs.... and there were a lot during our visit! All well behaved though. Gluten free options very disappointing.... bacon sandwich, soup or tuna mayo. We'd hoped for a main meal to save cooking later but choices were so poor for gluten free and the food wasn't great. Menu needs an overhaul with more gluten free options.

Great place to meet up and have some coffee and cake to chat over. Lots to do in surrounding area if you have a younger family.

Great place to grab a coffee after woodland walk .

Updated review, as it appears to have gone down, since visiting on the last 3 occasions. Dog friendly, ordered coffee, Oreo Frappe, refresher and 2 other drinks - don't think the value is there anymore.

Excellent service, great food, reasonably priced. I have visited cafes in many Country Park visitor centres across the UK and without doubt this was the best I have ever encountered.

Beautiful decor inside and dog friendly. U can watch the birds on the bird tables outside the windows. Great drink selection, the frappes and milkshakes are amazing x

What a huge disappointment.. Walked in , welcomed and shown to a table. unusual / weird decor..’ plastic/ fake flowers’ and greenery…fresh flowers ..or even dried flowers or grasses might be more appropriate for a cafe at a ‘ Countryside centre’. We both ordered lunch… vege burger with wedges..burger dried out and not really wedges, but a jacket spud cut up …they were huge, and not well cooked. Mushroom, artichoke ciabatta…lacking in filling, bread over baked, one end almost impossible to eat it was so hard. Salad limp and said coleslaw..none provided.. Sadly we were both hugely disappointed and will certainly not be returning for lunch.

Nice enough for tea and take. But never worth planning a visit. They simply close randomly on a whim. Leaving visitors hungry and thirsty.

I went with a friend and her Grandson.... we sat on the bench outside and had a cuppa after having had a lovely walk through the woods.... quite busy but lovely to see so many people enjoying the outside space with children and pets. Lovely 😁

My wife and I enjoyed our first visit here for a light breakfast. We were warmly welcomed and served with care by Kate, Laura and Brett. The location is beautiful and the dining area both inside and outside is cosy and comfortable. Thank you to all the staff for being kind and understanding.

Excellent salmon flake and asparagus salad. Friendly staff

Really good breakfast, service is great and prices are perfect. Worth a visit.

Stopped here on route to a holiday in Devon. First rate dog friendly cafe with good food and pleasant very professional staff. Added bonus for dog owners is lots of dog walks all around the cafe within the country park. And free parking too. I wish I had the same nearer to my home. A great find. I’ll call again on my return journey.

First time eating inside,what a lovely place. Service was brilliant and the food was lovely. Will definitely be back.

Stopped off for cake and tea , very nice.

Not sure who is responsible for the toilets but they are a disgrace especially having only one disabled/ parent toddler toilet which needs serious repairs cleaning. I have never seen a toilet so bad .The radiator covered in rust clearly a health and safety issues .

Nice food, well presented, friendly staff, clean premises. 5*

Had a great day there was lots &lots to see

Good selection of food, they cater for allergies and other dietary requirements. Friendly staff, quick service and nice decorations.

Lovely girl served us but breakfast was disappointing asked for scrambled egg on toast with bacon ,, it was served in a bowl making it difficult to eat and my bacon was chopped up like I was a toddler or it was left overs . Shame it is a lovely place and lovely staff

Lovely place to stop after or before a walk. Coffe is fantastic and the staff friendly and professional. Would not hesitate to recommend. Thanks for a wonderful experience 😊

Breakfast nice but could have been hotter

Lovely food friendly staff a great all round place for walking and eating and good for Children

Okay but won't bother again Gluten free options but although they could alter some meals to make the gluten free as advertised they were not willing too despite the cafe bring mostly empty. Just plonked 2 small slices dry gluten free bread with bacon. Kitchen not willing to adapt. Hot drinks were lukewarm. Menu and staff need an update. Toilets were dirty (not just from recent use), rusty dirty radiator, no soap to clean hands (no soap dispenser either!) Worcester woods and the play area were lovely but next time we'll take a picnic.

The Orchard is a great cafe in the heart of the Country Park. It's dog friendly, serves hearty food or snacks reasonably priced, and service is always friendly and efficient. Quirky furnishings made of repurposed items indoors, plenty of seating outdoors for the warmer weather. What's not to like?

We just stopped in here for a quick drink and bite to eat. Staff seemed nice and pleasant. Dogs allowed inside - seating areas in and out. Looks like it could get busy in the summer when the kids are off school, it was busy enough when we were there mid afternoon. Nice menu if a little limited, some gluten free options available.

See my post regarding Worcester woods. Good coffee and good disabled access for my friend.

The food was cold. Only a large breakfast is no medium " Shame "

Great steaks and friendly fast service .would highly recommend.

Come inside...when it's wet, cold or windy Sometimes just being with others in nice place ..makes all our days.

Good reasonably priced cafe in the country park. Menu is a little limited and we found the coffee a little strong for our taste but will certainly return

Went a few weeks ago for lunch on a weekday. We ate inside. Loads of food choices on the menu and all three meals in the group were so good, we really enjoyed them. All staff we dealt with were really helpful and friendly. I suspect it could get busy in the summer but I review on what it was like when we went and we all really enjoyed it. Hats off to the chef! We will be back.

After an unplanned visit and coming across the orchard by accident its easy to recommend a visit. Free car parking and plenty of spaces. Very dog and family friendly with its surrounding area. Lovely welcome and good levels of service despite it being very busy. We had a table in the corner and felt relaxed throughout. Coffee was pretty good and the cooked breakfast was great. If I was being picky I'd have liked butter for the bread and my scrambled egg a little firmer but all good. Our dog really enjoyed her treats also.

Met with a support group (about 10 people). We usually always sit outside but today was particularly cold. Everyone had already purchased drinks from the hatch and then decided to see if we could get a table inside. We were told we couldn’t bring paper cups (that they themselves had sold us) inside and we all would need to buy new drinks. The place was dead due to the weather so totally unacceptable. The manager didn’t even have the decency to explain himself, he made a young staff member tell us and needless to say he looked very embarrassed. Absolutely shocking behaviour and they need to remember that they are a countryside centre cafe NOT a Michelin starred restaurant!

Lovely cakes and nice coffee! Lovely and friendly waiting staff as well 😊 pool

A good walk sets you up for a bite to eat.

Very busy as half term yet was seated immediately to a clean tidy table. food presentation top drawer! a bit more selection would be nice like a childs version of the all day breakfast but wat we all ordered was lovely, fresh, hot and friendly service! iv been coming here for many years now and this visit was the best yet! i would say a change in management has happened and it shows!

Absolutely lovely place! Staff were friendly and helpful, food and coffee was lovely and I was allowed to take my dog in. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Very disappointed today as me my girlfriend an daughter visited for lunch and instead of the BLT sandwich ordered I got a toasty with burnt toast and tuff burnt bacon. my daughter couldn't eat her wedges as the were burnt and my girlfriends jacket potatoe looked sorry for it's self. Will definitely not be returning.

Service was terrible. The waitress took our plates before my daughter was finished and came with the bill before asking if we were finished. The comments overheard by other customers suggest we weren't alone in receiving poor service.

Has had a nice refurb since I visited pre-covid. I had a cup of tea and a toasted tea cake, The tea cake was huge and came with plenty of real butter to accompany it (tick) the tea however was a bit lame. Get some Yorkshire tea bags in! 😉

Food is nice - sat indoors which is perfect when it's cold. Only thing is it's a little pricy. Worth it for a nice walk in the woods and if you had kids nice playground area.

Tasty food and plenty of vegan options. However is quite pricey and the decor is out of keeping with the woodland setting. It also seems a bit pretentious. I preferred this cafe how it was before.

Very nice restaurant at Worcestershire County Park. Lovely decor and good food, great kids options and dog friendly. Service was a bit slow but it was very busy and everything cooked fresh.

Really disappointed with my children's meals. The queue was huge, last time we went you went into the restaurant and paid at the counter, now you have to queue outside at the takeaway hatch. We expected it to be busy, it was a Bank Holiday, so that's fine. Ordered two kids hotdogs, and ended up a sausage on one piece of bread as they had run out of hot dog rolls. Got a few pieces of cucumber and carrot cut up, cost £4.95! Will take a packed lunch next time!

Good if you like queuing. Unnecessarily slow and badly organised.

A lovely eat in/take away cafe in Worcester Country Park. Friendly staff, good food & service. Also dog friendly

Great place to eat and warm up after a wondland walk with the family and dog. They offer both indoor and outdoor eating options (both dog friendly) everything from pizza, toasties, jacket potatoes and home made soup of the day. The indoor decor is great! Repurposed doors used as tables and each table has its own private area. Fab place, I will be going back!

Great brunch 5 minutes walk from hospital, very nice can't wait to visit again

Nice atmosphere. Quick service. Reasonable food.

Found the staff rude and unapproachable today, will not be returning. Even my children were upset by their approach and said they were not friendly. We asked for a takeaway as the hatch was closed and there was a sign left that said the hatch is closed please order inside for takeaway. I went in merrily to order to be met with confrontational staff who said I couldn’t get a takeaway as the hatch was closed even though there was a sign to say come in and order for takeaway. Naturally I was confused by this due to the sign outside and as the cafe used to offer a takeaway service indoors so I couldn’t understand why it was made out to be such a massive deal, like I had done something wrong. I thanked the staff after waiting at a table (which already had someone’s bags and coats on, so I felt uncomfortable waiting there incase anyone came back) the staff did not acknowledge me after I thanked them and there were many by the door and none said goodbye. My little boys were really upset by the whole situation as was I. Maybe we just went on a bad day but I found it upsetting.

Another day out with colleagues. Loved it!! Must go back again xx

The food here is really good and reasonably priced the staff are polite and friendly.

Grabbed a coffee after parkrun - quick service, nice coffee and reasonably priced!
