Featured Ledbury Restaurants
1. The Wye Inn including Upstairs at The Wye
restaurant in Dymock
2 Broad Street - GL18
A traditional pub with a twist, The Wye Inn serves up nostalgic pub classics from award-winning chef Andrew Sheridan and his team. The Wye Inn has four unique dining areas including an outdoor Terrace with wood-fired pizza menu, and Upstairs @ The Wye Inn, a fine-dining offering serving an elegant tasting menu.
2. Corse Lawn Hotel
British, Traditional restaurant in Corse Lawn
2023 Review: In July 2022, Baba Hine put this long-established hotel (which she started with her late husband 40 years ago, and ran by herself for 17 years) on the market, having decided it’s time to retire. Incorporating a 40-cover restaurant and similar-sized bistro, it’s too soon as yet to predict the next chapter for this well-known establishment, hence for the time being it’s unrated.
3. 1919, The Cottage in the Wood
British, Modern restaurant in Malvern Wells
Holywell Rd - WR14
The Cottage in the Wood Hotel, set high above Malvern in eight acres of woodland, is a unique 4 star hotel and restaurant which offers a desirable mix of laid-back elegance, incredible food and intuitive service in a naturally dramatic space.The 2AA Rosette 1919 R...
4. The Inn at Welland
British, Modern restaurant in Welland
Hook Bank, Drake Street - WR13
In “a wonderful spot between Upton and Malvern”, overlooking the rolling countryside (especially if you dine al-fresco under the glass canopy), this “reassuringly consistent” gastropub “consistently ticks all the boxes”. The “quite adventurous” food makes it a staple in our annual diners’ poll, and if anything “they have upped their game of late”… add in “lovely decorations” and “friendly, fun staff” and “what more could you want”?
6. 33
restaurant in Ledbury
33 The Homend - HR8
2022 Review: After the success of The Butchers Arms in Eldersfield, James & Elizabeth Winter have opened a new restaurant in this eighteenth-century, Grade II listed building in the heart of Ledbury, featuring two dining rooms seating just 12 between them. By early reports it's an “absolute gem” – “tiny”, “quirky” and offering “quite adventurous” choices from a “small but changing menu” based around local produce.
7. The Butcher’s Arms
British, Modern restaurant in Eldersfield
Lime St - GL19
2021 Review: It’s still early days for Grain Store chef, Mark Block, who took over this celebrated county inn in January 2018. While there’s the odd complaint – of food that’s “competent but has no zing” – the general sense is that, despite the former regime being “quite a tough act to follow, it’s doing nicely under the new ownership”: no longer chasing Michelin stars, but “very much a rural pub with good food”.
8. Castle House Restaurant
British, Modern restaurant in Hereford
Castle St - HR1
“A lovely setting – tucked away in a quiet-but-central location” beside the remains of Hereford’s castle moat adds to the joys of the Watkins family’s Grade II-listed Georgian hotel. Reports are limited, but all approve the cooking from Hungarian-born chef Gabor Katona (with much produce from the owners’ farm at Ballingham Hall, nearby).
9. The Burger Shop (A Rule of Tum)
Burgers, etc restaurant in Hereford
32 Aubrey Street - HR4
2023 Review: The first bricks-and-mortar venture from Hereford’s 10 year-old ‘A Rule of Tum’ hospitality group, this local hit serves “top burgers in a great atmosphere”, with a focus on locally produced beef and other produce. A branch in Worcester has followed.
10. The Bookshop
British, Modern restaurant in Hereford
33 Aubrey Street - HR4
2022 Review: A steak-led “relative newcomer” – named for the former use of these premises – where the main event graces a “short, meat-focused menu” that “clearly concentrates on what they are skilled at” (though there’s also praise for the “second-to-none” coffee and cakes). “Fantastic staff” and a “great ambience” round out its charms…“if you take clients they never fail to be impressed”.
11. Eckington Manor
British, Modern restaurant in Eckington
Hammock Road - WR10
2021 Review: “The quality of the chef is well known and the major attraction” at this timbered country house hotel, helmed by MasterChef: The Professionals winner Mark Stinchcombe; yet while his “excellent” farm-to-fork cuisine generally pleases, service strikes some reporters as “average”: “a tremendous amount of attention has been paid to the design of the cooking school adjacent but seemingly less to what makes a good fine-dining restaurant”.
12. The Admiral Rodney
British, Modern restaurant in Martley
Berrow Green - WR6
2021 Review: Limited but all-round positive feedback on this relative newcomer – a country inn with rooms, relaunched in mid 2018, and serving a brasserie-style menu majoring in steak (also with lighter options at lunch).
13. Severn & Wye Smokery
Fish & seafood restaurant in Westbury-on-Severn
Chaxhill - GL14
2023 Review: “Fabulous fish and seafood dishes” led by “smoked platters and whole fish of the day” are on the menu at this “small restaurant” in an “interesting setting” – above Richard & Shirley Cook’s long-established smokery on the Severn estuary. “Everything is yummy – including the wonderful desserts.” There’s also a more conventional café in the yard, the Barn.
