"After a long and rather sweaty walk around the hills in the blistering heat, we made a stop at St Ann 's Well. I had researched it beforehand, with their own words on their website stating: We are 100% Vegetarian and offer a range of Vegan options . Emphasis on 'range '. We looked at the board, which had scribbly writing on it and things messily crossed out... The only vegan savoury option was an onion bhaji, of all things?! I asked if they offered sandwiches, baguettes, jacket potatoes or anything like that, and the miserable woman serving just said there 's the menu . Talk about service... The coffee was served in horrible disposable cups (the ones that go to landfil). There were vats of tomato ketchup and mayo sitting on a plastic table cloth. There were sheets of A4 stuck all over the walls with various things the owner had obviously made and printed, including something about comparing face masks with IQ. Know your audience for such a wonderful location, they haven 't used the space very well, they 're not offering much and it just left us feeling depressed. We went to sit down and realised they had no sun shade brollies, so quickly ate and left. What a misery. My suggestions if the sun is shining and it 's a weekend, you should know to expect more visitors, so have more food options. If you are going to claim you have a range of vegan options , make sure you actually do. Serve tea and coffee in pots and cups with saucers most vegetarians and vegans care for the environment so don 't like your throw away cups. Try to create a memorable experience for your guests, not one that leaves them feeling deflated."

I visited this restaurant a couple of years ago and it was closed. This time, however, we were in luck as it was open. The staff was friendly and the location was great.

Disappointed to see yesterday no mask wearing by all three visible male staff members at the very time that Omicron is taking hold. I won't be going back here, but bringing my own picnic next time!

Can there be a more idyllic cafe anywhere in Britain. To sit on the terrace and drink tea and eat cake on a sunny afternoon is a real treat to be savoured. How anyone can pass it by is a mystery to me

Being Covid times this was open for take out only with a limited menu. But the ice creams were very welcome after a 7 mile hike. There are lots of benches and tables, all outdoors and safely far apart.

Lovely place to sit and eat or drink situated next to a historical site St Ann's Well worth visiting. Plenty of choice with seating inside and out. Takes a food walk to get there up a hill but well worth it.

Busy place for a Sunday. Old, quaint building. If your climbing the hill, good stop off point. Nice for coffee and cake anytime. Only outdoor seating, which was good that day.The area is full of history, very calming. Loved the water fountains, dotted all around,...

This restaurant is a fantastic stop along the Malvern hills. They offer delicious tea and cakes, and the staff is very helpful. The building is elegant and historic, with a unique spring in the wall. It's a convenient spot to visit after hiking up the Worcestershire beacon. Make sure to double check their opening hours before heading over.

Lovely setting but very underwhelming drinks and cakes. Coffee was almost tasteless (I’m generally pretty easy to please with coffee, but on this occasion I agreed with my coffee aficionado husband), hot chocolate was decent but rather overpriced for the size, at £3 for a small one. Flapjack was fine but nothing special, chocolate fudge cake was on the dry side and not fudgy, and again a bit tasteless. Service was fine but not really friendly a smile would have been nice! Overall we felt it wasn’t good value for money and wished we’d gone elsewhere (sorry).

This restaurant is a fantastic spot to stop for a meal while traveling up or down the road. Not only are you able to refuel, but you are also supporting a local small business. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of vegan options available. We enjoyed a delicious oat hot chocolate and were thrilled to discover they also offer vegan and vegetarian burgers. The staff were friendly and eager to chat. The atmosphere was calm and serene, with plenty of outdoor seating surrounded by the forest. We will definitely be returning to support this wonderful establishment.
