   Lovely setting, lots of potential. However, food was disappointing. Rump steak is a poor cut of meat, chewy. Grilled chicken is a ceaser salad. Farm produce should be the show case. Think Ottolenghi, The retreat. Food falls short of expectations.

   A great venue and delicious food. We particularly enjoyed the delightful flatbread and locally sourced wine. The decor is gorgeous, and love the shop.

   The was our second time visiting Malverleys, the first time the service was slow but we thought we would give the benefit of the doubt as the place really is so beautiful. The food was delicious and the location is undoubtedly lovely, but the service is disappointing for what could be a really incredible experience. I recommend if you’re after some lovely food in a beautiful location, but expect sub par service and a non optional 12.5% service charge.

   Very relaxing lunch. Very good choice of food on the menu. Staff were very helpful and welcoming. Have been several times before and the food is always good.

   Delicious food and ideal portion sizes. Help from staff on sides and wine was spot on and they were accommodating in four of us sharing a dessert. Will definitely return

   We ate here for the first time and were impressed by the building which hosts the restaurant, cafe and very small shop. The restaurant itself is quite spacious but not huge and has a log fire which went out and was not re-lit during our meal. The room was then quite cold. Diners were sitting in their coats. The menu is unusual and in some ways disappointing. There are the favourite olives, bread (excellent) and nibbles to start with. Arancini was todays nibble, except the arancini were no longer available. The starters are odd - apart for a recognisable soup there were snacks rather than starters - pork pie, sausage roll, flans served cold for example and salads of varying denominations. I opted for the beetroot salad which contained beetroot in a dressing and well....more beetroot. There was really nothing else that resembled a starter as such. The mains were also few in number and we both opted against the steak, the fish and the burger and went instead for the butterflied chicken. Huge is an understatement but good it was. The skinny fries (are chunky or triple cooked now old hat??) with mayo, the carrots with their own puree, all were good enough. Not fine dining but perhaps country cooking in style. Prices were OK and the wine list offered a good selection by the glass. Not sure we will go again as the menu didn't wow us and good as the food was there are several more compelling restaurants between home and Malverleys.

    A very pleasant casual lunch on Valentine’s Day. Service was prompt and nicely done by friendly staff. The ambience was attractive although our table was a little close to two others. The menu was fairly limited but the food quality was fine.
