“Well, what can I say other than perfection. My first visit. I was made to feel very welcome. My BLT on seeded bread was lovely. So fresh and so much filling in the sandwich. My Chai Latte was one of the best I've had. Thank you so much. Will definitely be back.”

“We had a wonderful time at Verbena. We arrived at 7pm and a couple of things had sold out/we ordered the last one, so I would just comment on that. Otherwise everything was great - the waitress was incredibly accommodating, the atmosphere was lovely and not too loud, and the final bill was reasonable.”

“Delicious breakfast wrap, very reasonably priced, quick and polite service. Couldn’t ask for better”

“Faultless. Visited for my wife's 40th birthday, and was welcomed with a "Happy Birthday", a card from the team and left with a small box of chocolates, really helping to make it feel special. The food was amazing and as it was a Thursday lunchtime it was quiet, so felt like we had the place to ourselves. Highly recommend, and my thanks to the team.”

“Such a lovely experience from start to finish. The team were incredibly friendly the moment we arrived, the food came out quickly, and it was absolutely amazing. Special shout-out to Gabby, what a treasure! So warm, attentive, and excellent service throughout. I had the Eggs Royale and honestly, I’d have it every day if I could. Highly recommend.”

“Gorgeous food and drinks not a huge food menu but what’s there is absolutely worth it plus there’s a specials board too. No wait for a table, short queue due to the time we came in but service was fast. Friend and I both enjoyed and would recommend”

“Had always heard very positive reviews about this Italian and it didn’t disappoint at all. Fantastic food - starters and main. Service was excellent, attentive and friendly. Food was delicious and good portion sizes - lots of variety and choice. Highly recommend!!”

“Tried this takeaway for the first time tonight. OMG, the food is delicious. The chicken pakora was amazing. My only criticism if I had one is that the Naan could have been bigger, but the food is delicious, the staff were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend this takeaway and will DEFINITELY be using it again.”

“Excellent hotel, very friendly staff. However the breakfast service was slow and we only just had time to eat our breakfast as we had to catch a train. The staff were apologetic but we had to rush our food and this meant we didn't enjoy the experience. Next time we will have cereal.”

“Had to support a friend at the Crown court today, the day was helped by a surprise just next door… AJs Dinner. The Bacon and mushroom sandwich the Ladies served, was one of the best I have ever eaten, this coming from a chef of 40 years. Bacon perfectly cooked and so many delicious fresh button mushrooms. Well done ladies, keep up the good work! If you are Kidiminster definitely worth visiting”

“I have visited this wonderful cafe loads of times and each time it is amazing. The food and drinks are delicious. There is never a wait for a table. The owner is lovley. The cupboards full of games, toys and books and the atmosphere is cozy and perfect. Would 100% recommend you visit.”

“Love this place! Moved into the area, a little over a year ago. Started drinking in the Bellmans, and was welcomed by the staff almost instantly. The locals are friendly and welcoming, Dom the owner, fantastic man, great chef, always makes the effort to say hello and shake your hand, all the staff make the effort, every time you pop in. very much feel like a local myself now! Thank you!”

“Chilled Sunday lunch vegan bagel - delicious! Great place to hang out with excellent music. Will definitely be back to sample the coffee.”

“I recently tried the Mixed Grill for four at The Greek Tavern and I was really impressed! The portions were very generous, the quality of the meat was excellent, and everything was cooked perfectly. It was not only delicious but also very filling – definitely great value for money. Highly recommended if you want to share a proper Greek feast with friends or family!”

“What an absolutely stunning meal! We really rated that there was a great selection of veggie and vegan options with some dishes that we hadn't tried before. Everything we tried was so fresh and delicious, but our favourite dishes were the Croquetas, Salantourmasi, Mango & Feta Salad and Lamb Koftas... Although the Churros stole the show, and were the nicest Churros we think we've ever eaten!!! The Sangria was absolutely delicious. When the karafe arrived I thought it would be too much but I quite happily glugged it down with my meal - refreshing and boozy, the perfect combination! The restaurant has a welcoming and cosy vibes, which we loved. Alex and Peter were such pros, you can tell they have been in the restaurant industry for a long time with their effortless hospitality and attention to detail! We really enjoyed our meal here and would happily return to try more of the menu, which rotates as the seasons change. And also for the Churros... They are worth driving to another city for alone!!!”

“We absolutely love pizza triangle. It is genuinely nice pizza. I always say, you know a good restaurant from an average one by the consistency of food. The pizza is always a solid 9/10 every time and if anything, it’s often a 10/10. It just gets better. Eating in is okay just with where it is and the inside.”

“Really nice food and welcoming owner. Good place for full english or bangladeshi breakfast. I really enjoyed it and will be back soon.”

“I visited a few days ago and i was having a truly awful day, running late and feeling incredibly stressed, when I decided to pop into Hello Cafe. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere shifted completely. The aroma of the coffee was intoxicating, and the cafe buzzed with a genuinely happy energy. I ordered a coffee, and Zeee, the coffee Maestro, asked how my day was going. When I mentioned I was stressed, she took the time to chat with me, giving me her full attention despite how busy they were. She then made me the most beautiful coffee with a little heart in the foam. It was such a small gesture, but it completely turned my day around. The coffee was fantastic, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and Zee's kindness was the cherry on top. Hello Cafe is now officially my go-to spot. And their complimentary biscuits 10/10. Highly recommend it for a little boost on a tough day! And today again here for a coffee amazing fast service thank you”

“What a lush little place. Delicious food and really friendly staff. A lovely rustic and cosy atmosphere. Affordable food but decent value. Nice seating area outside and in, lovely decor and nice little touches throughout lovely place for coffee and cake or a delicious light bite.”

“Very authentic, great variety and wonderful service. A gem in Kidderminster. It was so good I forgot to take pics! Stop in or make a res on line!”
