The Admiral Rodney Inn - Malvern Hills

Visited on 24th October 23 on the recommendation of my recently graduated granddaughter. It was a quiet Tuesday evening. Starters were OK but took 30 mins before they appeared and we appeared to be the only customers dining. For the Main Course from the limited menu all 3 of us ordered an off the menu item described by the waiter as a Spicy Crispy Chicken Burger,chips and salad, £16 each). When they arrived the chips were overcooked and there was no salad, Having called the waiter back about the missing salad a voice was shouted from behind the scenes We 're out of salad! . we presumed it was the chef, The waiter embarrassingly relayed the message to us, Not wanting to embarrass my granddaughter as the meal was supposed to be our treat for her as we were visiting from Cornwall, when we finished our food we decided that we wouldn 't order desserts so I requested the bill ,paid and left. McDonalds serve better quality burgers at half the price.

Lovely food, great friendly service and incredible value We had a lovely evening tonight with our friends at this great pub The best I’ve been to for years Fantastic value and the fish was delicious

Went here for a family birthday celebration and very much regret the choice of venue. From the poor service to the lack of menu choices to the awful standard of cooking and presentation...this place has deteriorated so far from the place it used to be. We won't be returning

Don’t waste your money going there. Absolutely awful. Salad black and slimy, food not as described, poor quality, cheap oven chips which tasted reheated. Rice boiled to death til it split. Missing items from plate. Some dishes they had sold out of so limited choice. Outside lights turned off at 10pm so we had to navigate through the patio furniture in the pitch black to get to the car park which was dangerous. I have emailed them re the issues and had a very poor response taking no responsibility despite me also raising issues on the night to which the response was just ‘we’ll tell the chef’. 3 of our party were up through the night with upset stomachs. The pub was empty when we got there at 8pm on a Saturday night and stayed that way, I can see why now. Only wish I had read the reviews before I booked as they echo my poor experience and are spot on.

Cold welcome, not overly friendly or chatty staff. Guy i think was the manger barely managed a hello when i greeted him, i smiled he didn’t. Outside tables and chairs need TLC, patio furniture full of spiders, webs, no care and attention. They are not encouraging anyone to want to sit and drink out the back, and definitely not eat outside, no flowers , all very bland and unloved. Was going to eat here, but changed our mind because of the cold bland atmospheric in this pub. Will not be returning sadly …
