Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Alcester

Our table was not ready on arrival but we only waited a few minutes. The food and service were excellent and the waitress was particularly friendly and efficient. We had a great night.

A good friend travelled many miles to meet me. I chose the Ivy as I have been going there ever since it opened in Birmingham and eat in the many Ivy restaurants in London and elsewhere. I trust the menu and the wine list. Today the only things that went wrong were a polite request for the table I usually get or the second best table ( in my opinion). Yet having booked several weeks ago both were taken. When were they booked? Secondly the double espresso arrived cold. It was unlike the Ivy to do that. I have known all the previous managers but not the present one. I must introduce myself at my next visit.

We visited on a Monday lunchtime to celebrate a birthday so it was fairly quiet and all aspects of our visit were fabulous. What a wonderful venue the Cheltenham Ivy is, can’t wait to go again!

We decided to have the 5 course tasting menu as we are older and felt daunted by the idea of 10 courses. This was an excellent decision. With all the delicious snacks and nibbles in the bar before and after the main meal, 5 courses were ample for us. We’ve never had such delicious food. Every mouthful was a delight, in taste and texture. It was such a great experience, which we will never forget. The service was also excellent, staff being friendly and attentive throughout, arriving promptly and explaining every dish. We also had the wine pairing and can highly recommend that - fabulous wines and again excellent descriptions of each. Everything was perfect.

Outstanding family meal for 9. Excellent service with that added personal touch. Brilliant waiter who treated our grandson's needs with charm and humour and made him feel as important as the 8 adults. I can never fault Nuthurst Grange's Sundat lunch service. Long may it continue.
