About

Pensons is a well-regarded restaurant with rooms sitting in the Netherwood Estate in Tenbury Wells in Herefordshire. The seasonal tasting menu is designed and run by award-winning Native duo Imogen Davis and Ivan Tisdall-Downes, who construct ever changing menus that make the most of hyper-seasonal British wild ingredients, as well as the bounty of produce available from local suppliers and the Netherwood Estate.

The restaurant itself is open and airy, enjoying large windows and vaulted ceilings from their luxurious converted barn location. As well as the main dining room, Pensons boasts an expansive outdoor terrace, as well as kitchen garden, greenhouses and grounds where guests are welcome to roam during their stay. 

Pensons offers two tasting menus - a four-course and a seven-course - as well as a Sunday lunch menu, with equivalent vegetarian and vegan menus also available. Dishes at the time of writing include a nasturtium taco made with lamb tartar and oyster leaf, Herdwick lamb with Wye Valley asparagus and black garlic, and artichoke millefeuille made with Jerusalem artichoke ice cream and white chocolate. Sunday lunch is a choice of more traditional roasts, albeit following Native's sustainable, seasonal ethos.

Meanwhile, the drinks program focuses on biodynamic and low-intervention wines as well as kombuchas, teas made with foraged and wild ingredients, and beers from local breweries.

Pensons is located in Pensons Yard, Tenbury Wells. You are located within reach of many local attractions such as the Arley Arboretum and Gardens and Croft Castle. With plenty of interesting places to visit in the Malverns you are also close by to a number of museums such the Regal Cinema museum and the Tenbury Wells History Museum.
