Bellmans Cross Inn & Dominique’s Restaurant — Restaurant in Wyre Forest

Tired place in need of a revamp in terms of everything. The decor is so dated it's nearly funny. The menu feels like something nearly as dated as the decor.

Now for context I've eaten in some good French restaurants and quite a bit in France itself so i was hoping for something good when booking here. The reviews made it look great.

Walking in to the pub it feels homely but then you get lead to the restaurant which in all honesty need a complete refit, it feels like a nursing home. Had a look down the menu in hopes that the food would shine and ordered the burrata starter followed by the fillet. The starter was ok, fairly bland but ok. The fillet though was overdone even though it was supposed to be medium-rare, the accoutrement was meagre and over-fussy which i can only assume was to try and make it look a bit more highbrow.

In summary if Gordon walked in here he would have...

My partner and I decided to come here for our anniversary.

When I tell you that this was some of the best food I’ve had in such a long time.

The mussels were little purses of flavour.

I had barely touched the meat of the lamb shank and it melted off the bone. It was served with a delicious thyme mash that complimented the roasted vegetables beautifully.

If you are in the area, or even if you aren’t, make the journey and try out this little hidden gem I can assure you that you will...

A positive find. Dark, wet, very windy night. Had driven up from Cornwall in our motorhome on route to Llanbedr for Brits Blokarting championship. Needed a bolt hole for the night! Then there on the road was The Bellman Cross Inn. We were welcomed in, no problem staying overnight in the car park with our motorhome. Then what a treat our dinner was, 5 stars a chef who really knows their stuff( should be on Master Chef) liver and duck juicy, tender and pink. To top this off I really fancied Sticky toffee pudding, unfortunately not on the menu, but hey presto the chef had one in the fridge Customer service was excellent, for example we were on our phones and before you could say abracadabra the landlord appeared with the Wi-Fi code . This Inn from now on will be our chosen stopping point on route to Llanbedr,...
