I don't know where to begin!
Considering that the restaurant is only 5-6 weeks old, the service was absolutely flawless, the wait staff were excellent, providing flawless descriptions of the food and advising us on various aspects of the menu and the timings between ordering and service was excellent even on a busy Friday night!
We decided against the sharer board..this time ..because we wanted to try more of the menu.
We had some beautiful fresh bread from a local bakery as a taster, followed by salmon and beef tartar for starters, steak and lamb for mains, chocolate tart and pana cotta for deserts.
I love that the menu is small, I feel that it allows the chef to really concentrate on producing top quality product every time, I strongly disagree with other comments critical of the menu, I prefer to have less choice of high quality than more choice of lesser quality.
The chef approached us and gave us a brief explanation of the food that we'd ordered, I really appreciated the explanation of their ethos, and I love that they utilise local produce in all aspects of their food.
I have seen other comments critical of the pricing of the restaurant, all I can say is, there are menu's online and outside the restaurant, if you consider it to be too expensive, maybe another restaurant should be chosen. I believe that the pricing is higher than other restaurants in the locality, however, supporting local farmers, bakers etc comes with a price, and I for one am more then happy to line the pockets of locals instead of large companies that don't care.
All in all, I absolutely loved this restaurant, easily the best food and service I've had in Malvern, no question. We were so excited to try it and I'm so glad we did, we will be returning!

We’ve just been to the opening Sunday at Madresfield Butchers and Grill on Church Street Great Malvern.
From the moment you enter to the time you leave, you receive outstanding customer service. When we saw Nicky, we knew the service would be excellent, but when we went on to meet the ever attentive Ziggy, the Manager, the incredible Chef and the excellent Bar Manager, who made the best Negroni ever… twice… we realised the whole team offer this same level of outstanding service.
The food is delicious, perfectly portioned and served with great attention to detail. Nothing is too much trouble! Gary commented as we walked home that he felt ‘his tummy had just had a warm hug!’
With a cosy ambience, the opportunity to sit at the bar for a drink as well as eat at a variety of sized tables, there’s something for everyone, even a vegetarian like me!
We highly recommend you visit before the rush to book leaves you waiting weeks to get in! We will be back next Sunday… Congratulations to all involved today and in the background. Another welcome addition to the increasingly attractive range of eateries in Great Malvern...
Read moreYou can definitely taste the difference in meat that has been properly farmed like this. The very local vegetables and ales were noticeably more full of flavour than is often so disappointing elsewhere, when restaurants resort to using more ordinary produce. Everything that we ate, and enjoyed, was cooked and presented in a clever and interesting way, without being over the top or pretentious. It would have been well worth going for the cocktails alone! The atmosphere was magnificent and just the right blend of being smart but informal, without any hint of ghastly West End chichiness. The bill was refreshingly reasonable too! Needless to say, the restaurant was full and deservedly so. We were looked after by what was clearly a well managed team, both front and back of house. Their upbeat energy and enthusiasm properly rounded off an excellent evening. There is so much to do and see nearby that we will definitely be returning - next time for a good family day out and Sunday lunch. If you are anywhere nearby, this gem is an essential...
