Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Excellent food and service. Totally different menu from similar venues. excellent ambience. Nearly £14 for a glass of average Malbec is not acceptable and daylight robbery Otherwise perfect.

31st wedding anniversary. Lived in Worcester a number of years yet this was our first visit to Ostlers (I recall some years ago its opening hours seemed focused on the Swan Theatre). This to me seemed like a replacement for the long lost Saffrons, a...nice bistro atmosphere, really good food, good location. Happy to recommend, definitely going back.More

Staff were lovely and very helpful Unfortunately we sat at a very wobbly table, ordered nibbles to find they were not available. Truffle and mushroom spagetti very tasty but off putting as far too much of it was served, would have fed a family of...5! Seabass not as tasty as expected. Quite disappointed as although it was very busy it did not live up to its usual expectationMore

No faults at all with the food - just lovely! Each course was imaginative and tasty and good portions - can’t ask for more. I had the beetroot starter - goat’s cheese was tangy and fab - it would be good to know a bit...more about sources, esp if they are local. Rhubarb dessert was seasonal and elegant and very well done. These are just two dishes but the seven dishes the three of us had were all excellent.More

I took my partner and two teen children for a late Sunday dinner last weekend. I hadn’t been before however friends go regularly so we gave it a go. It’s quite small inside however I think that adds to the atmosphere, it’s very cosy and...nicely laid out. The food didn’t take too long and it was very nice,good quality and generous portions. The staff were friendly and polite. I would certainly return and would highly recommend people try it.More

We were a family group of 8 adults. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and we were welcomed by a couple of the staff upon arrival. The food was top class (particularly the pork belly and the pan fried cod) and the desserts absolutely delicious....The service was impeccable and we had a fantastic evening. Would definitely go back again!More

Very welcoming and accommodating. Super food - well cooked and presented, and good size portions, so we were certainly full after three courses. Heartily recommended for celebrations or a good quality meal out with friends and family. We will be back.

The best meal I’ve had in ages. Great food, nice menu choice in a lovely independent restaurant. Without Saffrons in Worcester any more this is closest to that kind of place and refreshing to see a menu with starters, mains and desserts listed (as opposed...the myriad of different options for courses in most places nowadays). Friendly staffMore

Genuinely one of my favourite restaurants in the UK. Menu is great, chefs are super talented, service feels family and professional and the ambience is so warm and snug. Handled my wife’s allergies easily and produced food for her than was equally as delicious as...mine, thank you. Handy car park around the corner too.More

Visited for a Friday date night. Table booked for 7pm. Arrived a few minutes early and the restaurant was still locked so had to wait outside. Once it opened we were shown to our table but the restaurant was cold. Ordered breads and olives to...start. Bread was delicious and warm but the olives came straight from the fridge and where far too cold to eat. Main course was delicious and very tasty but although warm on being served, stone cold before we finished eating. Disappointed as the pork and vegetables were absolutely delicious but I don’t like eating cold food. Such a shame as it’s a lovely restaurant and lovely food but attention to details is lacking.More

My partner and I visited for a spontaneous lunchtime treat and what a treat it was. The food was delicious, the atmosphere warm and calming the service was attentive without being annoying. The menu was not extensive which is how I prefer it (better to...do a small amount well in my view). As a vegetarian it was nice to get more than soup and risotto - I had a trio of beetroot with goats cheese followed by baked aubergine. Each course was beautifully presented and the flavours well balanced. The portions were more generous than we expected and despite being quite full we ate it all as it was so tasty. We had been meaning to visit Ostlers for some time and we will definitely return. Can't fault it.More

Hi Phil, The obvious entrance on the corner is not used but the door round to the left is. I am sorry but I cannot remember the actual access. The staff were brilliant so suggest contact direct. Good luck Peter
