The Priory View - Malvern Hills

We had travelled to Malvern with friends for the weekend. We ate elsewhere on the Friday evening but had breakfasts and an evening meal in the Priory Restaurant. The breakfast food was very nice but only warm, which we did mention to the staff on the Sunday morning. The evening meal started off well with very nice starters, on the mains, one of our friends sent his vegetables back as they were lukewarm, as were mine. Desserts were mediocre, one arriving a long time after the others.

Very comfortable rooms and a wonderful bar with magnificent surroundings. The staff were very friendly and helpful as well, it is everything a top hotel should be. We had a set menu which was excellent 12 people and no complaints at all. The wine was reasonable too. I would visit with the family no problem. Genuinely a nice place

Great hotel restaurant with terrific food and attentive friendly service. Very retro decoration original.

The hotel is geared up to taking in large parties, I.E. Wedding parties etc; the ballroom where we had our new years eve celebration sat 300 and the staff were able to cope, they were mainly immigrants but all spoke very good English and were polite, attentative and kept busy.

I dined in the Priory View Restaurant several times during my stay in Great Malvern. Breakfast was average with typical buffet offerings available. Eggs, sausages, bacon, toast, cold cereal, fruit, beans, and tomatoes. I also dined here twice on average fare for dinner nothing wrong with the food just not very interesting. The best starter I had between the two evenings was a salmon pate served with toasted bread good, but without very imaginative presentation. See my photo, and you'll see what I mean. Service was ok. But standards aren't set very high.
