The Apple Tree Kitchen — Restaurant in Malvern Hills

Have come here a few times this year and each visit it gets slowly more disappointing, booked a table for 4 of us (adults), table was out back area right in front of entrance door which people seemed to think was acceptable to leave door open despite cold weather. We were surrounded by 3 very loud families with 3 screaming babies and it was nigh on possible to hear yourself think let alone be heard. Ordered full english breakfast, Waited almost an hour for food to come, which isn't really acceptable when they only allow an hour and a half each booking. One suggestion would be to put families with screaming kids, loud adults and barking dogs in a separate area to those adults who wish to actually talk to each other without the whole resteraunt knowing their business ! We did complain about the long wait for food and were given free hot drinks on the house, but the kitchen will be aware of how many covers they have at each sitting so having to wait almost an hour for food really isn't...

Such a gorgeous place! Like having lunch in The Shire! The young ladies serving us were exceptionally attentive, polite, and looked happy to be there. It has different rooms and outdoor spaces to sit, all with lovely views of the country. We were lucky enough to be sat where we could see some swift birds flying in and out of a nearby building. The food was delicious! Even something as simple as sausage and mash was done exceptionally well. Good selection of drinks too. We were unfortunately too full up for cake! But they looked home made and tasty. We took a stroll around the pond, chicken coop, greenhouses and the rest of the grounds to see the animals after our food. The whole space is tucked in what feels like a nest in the hills, spectacular to see as you turn off the main road. There's a little bit...

You will have a fabulous time at the Apple Tree Kitchen - we did - to start with a delicious lunch - superb service, excellent and freshly prepared food. Next was 25 acres of grounds, gardens and lakes all immaculately maintained. George was first - a huge black pig who grunted contentedly at us. Then more pigs, ducks, goats, chickens and geese.

Then we met a charming man in the big barn who told us about the enormous amount of work - especially strimming - to keep everywhere looking so good. Also met a nice chap in a huge tractor.

Then there is the accommodation which we saw from outside - cabins and lodges. All looked delightful.

This was our first visit and we will be back and would recommend...
