Elmbury Lodge is a classic pub environment but a few hiccups left me feeling unsure about the value for money. Here's the breakdown: Positives: * Friendly staff: The servers were warm and welcoming, despite the occasional mistake. * Mixed grill: This was the highlight – well-cooked and flavorful, even if the portion was a bit on the small side. * Unlimited refills: If you're thirsty, you'll definitely get your money's worth with the bottomless drinks. Negatives: * Order mix-ups: Missing hot chocolate and mismatched dessert additions (custard instead of ice cream) were small but frustrating errors. I will point out, the ice cream sundae was nice * Basic food: Everything felt straightforward and uninspired, lacking a little creative spark. * The card machine malfunction added to the feeling of not quite getting what we paid for. Overall: Elmbury Lodge is a decent option for a casual pub meal, especially if you're drawn to the friendly atmosphere and unlimited drinks. However, the price tag didn't quite match the experience for me. The occasional error left me unsure whether I'd rush back. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 stars, as it's not bad, but not quite memorable either. I hope this review helps you decide if Elmbury Lodge is the right spot for your next meal!

Great value food and great place to take families/ children. Buffet breakfast is great tasting and value for money. Staff are really friendly and helpful. There is also the bonus of having a soft play area and outdoor area for children. If you get the loyalty bonus card you can save points to get free kids meals/puddings etc and it doesn’t seem to take long to build up the points either. Overall great family friendly place that is good value for money.

We popped into the Elmbury Lodge on our way to the midlands as it was conveniently located just off the M5. Unfortunately we never got to sample the meal and requested a refund as the service was extremely slow. After waiting 45 minutes for our main (even though the couple who ordered just before had already eaten their meal), we asked where it was and were informed that it was just being plated up. The reason for the delay was a large table of 10 at the same time as us. After another 10 minutes, we asked again only to be told to wait 2 seconds. We saw numerous meals coming out of the kitchen and so decided to cancel our meal and request a refund. The staff did oblige but never even issued an apology. The waitress service was fine but clearly there were issues keeping up with demand in the kitchen. The food being served around us looked reasonable but we never got to taste it.

Zack couldn't do enough for us and was very professional. Decent food and drink again. Lovely Christmas decoration and centrepiece tree. Play area still a massive plus for the kids. Location is superb when travelling from Malvern. Wish we'd known about the membership card before! Looking forward to a decent feed Boxing day when the 24 of us will be rocking up!!

A calm place for lunch, fantastic service. We had pam for our server. Very kind and gentle but don't push her over the edge or you'll be upsold a dessert. Food fantastic. Staff freindly. What more do you want for a working lunch!
