Verzon House Bar, Brasserie & Hotel

Far-reaching views of the Malvern Hills can be enjoyed from the extensive grounds of this large Georgian country house. The restaurant is modish in appearance with stylish fixtures and fittings and colours chosen from contemporary natural tones. Service is formal but friendly. The accomplished kitchen seeks out high quality, locally-sourced produce and delivers modern British food. Thus a crisp leg of Madgetts Farm duck with an apple and hazelnut salad sits alongside hand-picked Cornish crab with roast tomato and avocado among starters. Main course spring lamb is cooked three ways - rack, braised shoulder and deep-fried, breaded tongue - with ratatouille celeriac fondant and marjoram-scented sauce in a rather complicated main course. First-class puff pastry is filled with vanilla parfait and served with warm blueberries in a well judged dessert.
