The Loose Box at Barton Court

Set in the grounds of a striking Georgian country house to the west of the Malvern Hills in the village of Colwall and close to the Herefordshire and Worcestershire border, is a fantastic family run cafe serving up delicious homemade cakes, savoury specials and warming coffee.

Cakes include a very moreish chocolate Guinness, coffe & walnut, Bakewell tart and lemon sponge. We can’t fail to mention their brownies too, where during our visit we found beetroot, cherry & nut and original brownie – so fantastic we had to try all three!

As for savoury specials you’ll find a small selection of seasonal homecooked food, delights include smoked salmon & scrambled eggs, ham & eggs and a great range of toasties.

There’s seating both inside and out in the courtyard where you’ll also find their funky crystal maze like domed sheltered seating area.
