About the restaurant

Set on the edge of the picturesque Wessex Downs in the North Hampshire countryside, Malverleys is a small farm, restaurant, bakery and shop. We offer a versatile space for the local community to enjoy coffee, wholesome food and carefully sourced produce.

Malverleys provides an outlet immersed in the countryside where friends and family can meet, or those seeking time to themselves can enjoy the comfortable, tranquil atmosphere. Visitors have the opportunity to purchase sustainably sourced products, attend horticultural workshops, and dine in the restaurant where ingredients are seasonal and often raised/grown on-site in the market garden and surrounding land. We also source the best of British fish, with deliveries throughout the week from day-boats landing at Looe harbour and from Hampshire's chalk streams.

Very rare to give 5 stars across the board but Bombay Story in Maidenhead earned them with ease. The staff were lovely, the ambience and vibe was great, the food was exceptional (aromatic and cooked to perfection), the cocktails were as you would want, and the bill was fair and worth paying. 5 stars *****
