   This establishment encapsulates everything I love about British cuisine and service. Every course was impeccable, timed and spaced expertly. Each member of the team, charming, welcoming and helpful. The experience felt personal and presented as if we were invited rather than reserved of our own accord. Be proud of the success that Pensons has garnered and please thank every member of the team Including the KP! Thank you for the experience, see you again soon.

   An excellent experience. Well thought through tasting menu. Perfectly balanced and executed with local ingredients. No choices but vegan,veg etc catered for. Attentive but not overbearing service. Lovely remote country location, vibe. The price reflects the quality.

   Excellent cooking by Chef Chris Simpson, using many of the local seasonal ingredients (some grown at the restaurant or at the Netherwood estate).

   Some may be put off by just the evening tasting menu, but don't be. It is worth it, in every sense. Each course was beautifully cooked with interesting and varied flavours. The bream was exceptional. Attentive service and a relaxed unfussy vibe made for a top class experience. Many thanks to all the team.

    The main problem on the day was the slowness of service. We arrived punctually at 13.00 feeling fairly hungry but it wasn't until 14.00 that we were getting our main course - an hour's wait! In between it seemed to take ages to receive: (a) our bread and butter; (b) our starters. Either you need more kitchen staff at lunchtimes and/or you are short-staffed and/or the waiters are too laid back - they seemed to drift back and forward past our table in a fairly nonchalant manner. At £48 a person + 12.5% discretionary, this is just not good enough.

    My party enjoyed a delightful celebration lunch, on our second visit this year. Slightly disappointed with my lamb main course, some of which was considerably rarer than I enjoy. The trout starter was a triumph though, so overall positive. As always, the service at Pensons was second to none.

    Excellent location tucked away in delightful countryside. Delightful ride out of Tenbury Wells to Pensons, made you all that much more hungrier and excited for the experience. Attention very good, food excellent in presentation and taste. Jade the sommelier was knowledgeable and shared some great wine tastings with us. Truly memorable, thank you.

    We came to Pensons for lunch for our wedding anniversary. We had received good reviews from friends and it lived up to their recommendation. The lunch menu is smaller than the dinner menu but the dishes on offer were delicious. The food is beautifully cooked and presented by attentive staff. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

    Lovely service! Everybody was proactively helpful and the team seemed to work together really well. We heard one of them offer to move someone else's table to a location out of the sun without being asked which stood out as thoughtful and genuinely caring about guests experience. The cocktail I had (the Stoke bliss) was great, and I really enjoyed my vegetarian version of the menu. The food was also great, it's unusual that I remember dishes from tasting menus but the courgette based main course and strawberry dessert really stood out.

    My fourth experience of dining at Penson’s - this time with two friends who live out of area - was of the same exquisite standard as previous ones. Everything is done superbly well (ambiance, service, presentation and of course the food). It’s the subtlety of the flavours which excite and challenge the palate plus the quality of ingredients which set this restaurant apart from any other in the area. We had a totally beautiful meal.

    We had a fabulous time here, the food was brilliant, the service was lovely and the setting is gorgeous. We were up in the rafters rather than the main restaurant so it was a little devoid of ambiance and we would have preferred to be in the main area but on the whole we were delighted and will definitely visit again!

    Beautifully presented and fresh food with much of veg grown in their own developing garden. Interesting barn conversion with archaeological items mounted on the walls making a calm and largely naturally lit environment (we went for lunch for a birthday..). Would ho again for a special occasion.

    Excellent welcome and friendly service. Very competent and high quality cooking. Not a fan of whipped yeast butter. Plain unsalted would be good. Weakest course for us was the carrot. Loved the trout and the lamb.

    It's a spending spree for us, but for a special and memorable occasion it's always worth it and we look forward to the chance of another meal at Pensons. If you want a large choice of mediocre food, it's not for you. For "fine dining" in lovely surroundings, Pensons is the best.

    We were proud recipients of a voucher last Christmas which we used for a lunch appointment. Our lunch was a pleasant experience, though costs would have been above our budget were it not for the voucher. Despite being fairly busy it was quiet in there and the service was excellent throughout.

    The food was outstanding, both taste and presentation. Who knew carrots could taste that good! The lunch time menu is very good value, wine on the other hand, not so much. The staff knew what they were talking about and were efficient and friendly. A slightly too long wait to take our order initially was apologised with chocolate truffles at the end of the meal; a nice touch. Looking forward to returning to sample the next season's menu.
