Book NowAbout The Malvern Hotel
An upscale corner pub that elevates neighborhood classics with generous breathing room and serious kitchen chops. Locals treat it as an effortless fallback for celebratory lunches and unhurried dinners, where tables sit far enough apart that conversations never compete with the room. Pours lean toward icy craft taps, while the kitchen dials in eye fillets with garlic butter and crisp parmigianas accompanied by complimentary bread. Evenings wind down over sticky toffee pudding beside the winter fire.
- Spacious Dining Layout: Tables are generously spaced across the floor plan, letting groups speak comfortably without competing noise.
- Private Event Space: Dedicated private function room accommodates milestone family birthdays and group lunches without feeling rushed.
- Elevated Pub Classics: Classic pub staples elevated beyond everyday cooking, featuring precision-cooked steaks and crisp parmigianas.
