Pios - Wychavon

If you want a delightful meal with excellent food at a very reasonable price then go along to Pios We have visited at lunchtime and also in the evening. The service is very friendly and personal. The setting is delightful with views overlooking the Abbey I had rump steak and the others had lasagne and also an omelette Great atmosphere and Pio himself comes to check you are happy with the food Definitely going back again

We had passed by the hotel many times, but not tried the restaurant, so we went for a midweek dinner with a friend The owner and waiter were very polite and explained the menu options fully, including the specials Two of us had the menu special carbonara. Very nice, but had a ridiculous amount of peppercorns. The other diner had the mozorella salad starter which she liked, including the dressing, which she never normally has . The Flambéd banana desert was delicious and well worth reserving space for trying.

My visit to this restaurant on Wednesday, October 26th at 7 PM was met with disappointment. I had made a reservation in advance as I was using a Tastecard. Despite the Tastecard offer of 2 for 1 on starters, main courses, and desserts, we were only given a 25% discount on the bill. When questioned, the waiter initially claimed they were not honoring the Tastecard offer, but after showing him the offer on the Tastecard website, he consulted with the owner, Pio. Pio aggressively insisted that they were only offering the same discount as the Gourmet Society and told us not to come back, claiming we were not welcome. Despite the polite service from the waiter and the pleasant check-in from the lady chef, the behavior of the owner left a sour taste in my mouth. If a restaurant advertises a promotional offer, they should honor it without becoming aggressive towards customers who expect to receive the discount as advertised.

Yesterday my wife and l walked the bluebell wood of Pershore. The walk ended near the abbey., not too far from a little restaurant we use in the White Horse Hotel, Pio's. Walking upto the front door we noticed the restaurant seemed to be closed. Further enquiries revealed that the chef was not there having moved and neither was the waiter. However before we had time to leave Pio stepped up and offered to cook us a meal. While the menu options were limited due to the chef being away, we both had a memorably enjoyable meal on this occasion. Pio was resplendent in his chef's jacket and we could have imagined ourselves on the Amalfi coastline had things been only slightly different. I had the fillet steak which was cooked to perfection and the chips here are great. My other half enjoyed the ploughman' as she is a cheese nut. Many thanks to Pio for stepping up to the mark on this occasion. Many would not have bothered.

We received a warm welcome from both the owner and the regulars at the bar when we stopped in for a drink and a sandwich. The sandwich was fantastic! Delicious roast beef on fresh, thick bread with a tasty side salad dressing. And all for a great price of £2.75. We will definitely be back to try the restaurant, as they clearly have a talent for preparing and presenting food here!
