Reviews in Malvern

We have had meals and theatre night 2/3 years ago but this menu was disappointing and when we enquired was told that the restaurant changed hands 2 years ago. Next time we will eat at the hotel and then go to the theatre. The staff were excellent.

Concerned to see that there were not many people dining (it was midweek) and wondered if the bistro has recovered from covid absenteeism (Das Rheingold was very sparsely attended too.). Staff were attentive, friendly and helpful and service was prompt. We over ordered tapas but ate it all and enjoyed it.

Fabulous evening meal, good service and attentive staff. Thank you

having visited the scene many times before we were disappointed, staff were excellent, the food was not, please go back to bistro food , and leave the Mediterranean style food to the Mediterranean's who know what they are capable of. the number of empty tables last Saturday evening tell their own story.

In hindsight it was not surprising to find the restaurant only half full despite a full theatre. The menu of tapas and mezze was rather restricted . We chose fish mezze which consisted of tasteless small prawns on a bed of wet cabbage, slabs of smoked salmon on fresh lettuce leaves but no dressing and some rather over peppered mackerel accompanied by two slices of burnt edged bread. The staff were friendly and polite. Fortunately an excellent performance of Gilbert and Sullivan took away the taste left by supper.

We enjoyed a tasty lunch of 2 courses. The first was a seafood dish with bread and the dessert was a rich cheesecake. Both meals were most enjoyable and the service throughout was efficient with a clear wish from the outset to ensure that we were were well looked after. We will book again soon!

We have eaten in the theatre restaurant many times & on our recent visit were disappointed to find that the menu had changed from the more traditional three course meal. We had a pizza & a pasta dish, which were ok, but not really what we wanted. We do plan to return to the restaurant & try the tapas on our next visit to the theatre.

Pre show meal and drinks-Tapas was delicious, service was prompt and friendly. Marked 4/5 for atmosphere as there weren’t many diners on the night we went . Will definitely return! Thank you

We visited the restaurant for pre theatre dinner. The food was gorgeous and plentiful. The staff were very welcoming and efficient. Would definitely visit again . Loved it.

Pre-theatre meal so we just needed a simple salad, I had Greek Feta Salad, the OH had Chicken Caesar salad. Both well priced, well presented and 'meal sized' meals and tasty. Water immediately offered by the friendly waiter / manager. A glass of very nice Carmenere too. A pity there were only two other couples beside ourselves dining. Had the restaurant been more fully occupied, atmosphere would have been better. Come on Malvern, give it your support!

We wanted to like the food on the new menu but the fish mezze (all served on one plate) was very dry and desperately needed a dip or sauce with it. There was a little dribble of something over the prawns but that was it. Even the slab of toasted bread was served without butter or oil. The dish consisted of smoked salmon, smoked mackerel and tiny prawns on a bed of cooked cabbage (not nice at all) and a little leafy salad (also undressed). We tried one tapa dish but the salt and pepper calamari dish was equally dry (more batter than squid) with just a drizzle of sauce over it. The staff are always very welcoming and efficient and we have enjoyed many meals here in the past before going to see a show but sadly we are not impressed with the new Mediterranean menu.

First time eating at the theatre and was impressed, food was really good, staff efficient and friendly it was just a shame not enough people using it, as it was so convenient before a show x I will definitely be doing this again x

Booked for pre-show evening meal for two. Menu comprises mainly tapas/sharing style dishes but varied options, good portion sizes and nicely presented. Service was friendly and attentive and we liked the fact that we could save some of our bottle of wine - and our table - for the interval. Very quiet the night we went so a little lacking in atmosphere but preferable to being too noisy. Would definitely eat there pre-show again.

We had an excellent meal at The Scene Bistro/Restaurant in Malvern Theatres. The food really was very good. Lots of flavour and very nicely presented. The menu was varied and interesting enough for most tastes. The Service was prompt, efficient and polite yet not overbearing. The atmosphere was quiet and refined, maybe a bit quiet for some but who wants to sit next to a rowdy table or have to shout to be heard? Prices were fair and portions were more than adequate. The dessert of Orange Polenta cake was sublime. Eating out isn't for the faint hearted when the bill comes, especially for a family of 4, but the prices at Scene were fair and reflective of the food quality. I felt we got what we paid for and that was very good. We would go again.

As always excellent food, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for my pre-theatre dinner. Loved the menu switch up to tapas and mezze. Will definitely be back again.

Really like the new menu. Excellent and friendly service as ever.

Pre-matinee lunch. We had the seafood salad. Delicious and beautifully presented. Just right for us. Excellent service. Will definitely lunch here again.

Delicious food and wine and friendly service , would go again
