Priory View Restaurant at The Abbey

We were on holiday to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary, and wanted a special meal on the actual day. I found the Abbey Hotel through the 'visit Worcestershire' publications, and it looked OK on line. We could not get into the hotel car park, there was an auction on, so we had to find some on street parking (in a town that we did not know) and were late arriving.The restaurant was poorly signposted at the hotel - down some stairs.It looked as if it was in a 1970s time warp - very brown decor with wood-look Formica table tops, with a runner, instead of table cloths. The staff were friendly, professional and efficient. I had put on the booking that it was our anniversary, but we were directed to a table in the middle of the area of the room that was being used. After we had been seated and started ordering, we were offered a table by the window, that had been vacated, but it was too much bother to move, so we declined. The food was good, with an interesting menu, and good value, at £25 for 3 courses, but it was not the romantic venue and experience that I had hoped for.

Good

Lovely restaurant. The food was superb, beautifully presented and the service was excellent. All the staff were extremely friendly.

Has a slightly 'old school' feel about it, however that is not meant in a particularly negative way. Very pleasant and attentive service in a plush dining room. Good quality and flavoursome carvery. Soup or cold buffet for starters. Vegetarian option for one in the party was served quickly so fitted in fine with carvery for the meat eaters. Desserts were standard, decent fruit salad. Pricing very reasonable - no sneaky extras added.

Excellent restaurant, attentive service but not over the top. Great menu selections including the unusual. Would suit most tastes. Food was lovely, beautifully presented. Overall cost was same as any high st restaurant but so much better. Beautiful views of the Abbey adjacent to the restaurant and hotel. Will be going back again soon

Good service, good food and an enjoyable evening. The decor of the restaurant could do with some updating but it didn’t detract from a lovely evening.

The food was fantastic and we had the joy of being together in a lovely setting.

Excellent food and good service.
Small detail but should have offered bread with soup.
Offered desert to made available on return from theatre. Could have fitted it in with many meal as service speedy.

Very attentive service throughout the evening. Smiley friendly staff.
3 coursé deal worthwhile!
My husband and I both had the red snapper which I'd never had before and as it was a meaty fish found the portion very adequate. We enjoyed the vegetable mix with it. There was plenty, but as we're vegetable lovers would have enjoyed more. My fruit salad was missing it's tuile basket but I was very happy with a brandy snap basket instead.

Great food and service thanks
