Been thinking of visiting Carters for a few years so the pop-up in Worcestershire which is closer to home was too good a chance to miss. Was very impressed by the whole experience - original and delicious food served by knowledgeable, motivated and friendly staff. Learned lots about the British leaves and flowers grown in the glasshouse and had a guided tour with scissors after our meal so that we could take some home. The food was inventive, interesting, modern British - and Brad and Holly clearly have a loyal and accomplished team all of whom stayed with them on the temporary move to Evesham. Just brilliant from start to finish.

Had visited carters a few years ago and comparing it to other Michelin restaurants thought is was ok but not our favourite and some of the dishes were good and some were just bland. Decided to give it another go at the pop up restaurant for lunch and left feeling underwhelmed again and when your paying a lot of money for a meal you don’t want to feel over charged but do if you don’t really enjoy it. The amuse bouches were bland and tasteless , crab meat on a slice of apple that wasn’t an amazing apple either ??? the bbq flat bread was a bit rustic for a Michelin restaurant , one piece to share ?? and the bbq process made the shabby old green house smoky when you first enter , which in itself is not very clear where it actually is when you get there as just a tatty sliding door with no signage. The mussel dish was the best one visually but the main course of red deer on the bone to share with a pot of celeriac mash and a pot of salad was the strangest Michelin dish I’ve ever been served. Having to carve the meat off the bone myself and then for my wife and dishing out a dollop of mash really was bizarre and although it was tasty it was not beauty on a plate which is what you expect. The sweet of chocolate mouse looked lovely but was nothing special and I’ve had better ones in a pot from many supermarkets. The lunch was finished off perfectly with a trip to a portaloo outside to spend a penny which just about summed up our afternoon. Two weeks previously we were at simpsons and as usual was blown away with everything we were served, I think we are done with carters, I’m sure there are people who think their food is amazing but it just doesnt do much for us.

It has a michelin star and some of the food was star standard, but not all, and to be awarded a star it should be,On of the mains was venison and unfortunately it was tough.Also only served with mashed celeriac and a salad, I would expect something more exciting/adventurous from a starred restaurant, Unusual venue in a greenhouse.Wines we found very expensive for the quality given.

This was our second time visiting the Carter's pop-up in Westlands Nurseries within 2 months and I don't think it will be our last. We were thrilled that Brad and team retained their hugely deserved Michelin star in this new venue and absolutely love the vibe, the atmosphere and the setting of the pop-up. The service is understated, friendly and excellent and the food is unusual, beautifully presented and genuinely local. I wish they would do a wine flight (!) but the wines we selected were also interesting and complemented the menu really well. Highlight for me is the bread course as well as the partridge main. Thank you again for having us and can't wait to get booked in again.

What a fantastic experience! The scented greenhouse setting is fab, funky and fun. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable explaining the foods journey. As for the food it’s insanely good. 9 courses, great value. Run don’t walk to Westlands by Jan when Carters are off to Birmingham again. Thank you Brad and Holly you totally spoilt us!

My wife and I visited Carter’s at their summer relocation within a greenhouse in Evesham, a gift from our daughter and son-in- law. We had always intended to visit the Moseley restaurant but never got around to it. The atmosphere in the greenhouse was fantastic. We were made very welcome from the outset. It was a nice touch for various chefs to come to our table to introduce their dishes and explain the sources for the ingredients. As for the food, it was everything we expect from a Michelin-starred tasting menu. Beautifully presented dishes, well cooked and with great variety. Carter’s is relocating to central Birmingham later this year and we will definitely be going to check out the new premises and menu.

A fabulous evening in the countryside out of Birmingham! Really enjoyed all parts of the evening- drinks before dinner in the al fresco area and the relaxed and uber welcoming vibe. It was lovely to have the staff explain the meals and every time we come it always feels like coming home. Great selection of interpretative cocktails too! So nice to be so close to where dinner has been plucked from. And the flatbread - oh my! That needs a special mention! Awesome meal, amazing staff! Highly recommend!

We’ve been to a handful of Michelin restaurants now, this felt different! The food was as expected on point… really fresh, with at least 75% of the food coming from the greenhouses surrounding you, there was some real skill and imagination that went into the dishes. What we loved the most though was the service, attentive but relaxed, each course explained in detail. Previous reviewer mentioned the toilets outside…. Could they be a little nicer, maybe, but I think you’ve got to let them off this as they are in a greenhouse, and they’ve made it work, providing you with a really unique experience. I think for the food, service and whole experience £75 per head represents great value, especially when compared to what you would normally spend for a tasting menu at a restaurant in this country with a star! We are looking forward to visiting again before they go back to the normal restaurant for the winter.

Disappointed and underwhelmed after experiencing the tasting menu. The service was excellent but the food was lacking in taste and somehow quite bland, despite the degree of thought and attention to detail which would have been involved in its preparation. The food was brought to the table by the chefs. Whilst this might be a nice touch, some of them looked like they needed a good shower. I didn’t mind their uniform being casual but as I tend to make an effort to be well presented, I would expect the staff to do the same. Dirty socks with scruffy shoes or crocs, lots of uncovered hair …it was all too much for me! Had I been served by one of the clean and tidy, knowledgeable and enthusiastic waitresses who looked like they cared about personal hygiene, I think I would have felt more comfortable. The restaurant itself is vast for the number of people in it and it felt like we were sat in the outdoor department at b & q with rows of plastic plant pots (which contained some of the ingredients). The music was a little loud and something more mellow and relaxing would have been more to our taste. The toilets are outside in a mobile unit and not the cleanest. We have been to a relatively small number of Michelin star restaurants over recent years (maybe 6 or 7) and like to experience many different types of eateries (not just fine dining) and I’m sorry to say that carters didn’t meet our expectations on this occasion.
We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was amazing. The stand out dish was the local tomato and cherries. The food of dreams. Attention to every detail is given. The team are professional and friendly. Thanks for a memorable experience.

A wonderful experience. The food was fantastic - we had the seven course Summer season option. We were also looked after so well by Esther our wonderful waitress.
Cora Price
Everything was outstanding - friendliness of the staff really stood out, alongside some seriously good food which linked back to various parts and history or Birmingham. The wine pairing was also great. We will be back for sure.

We’ve been here three times in the past year and would go every week if we could. We have always been on the chef’s table with the drinks pairing (exceptional), and could not fault the staff, service or attention to detail. Brad or one of his assistants describe each dish and it’s contents in detail and are happy to answer questions - they are obviously knowledgeable and proud of their creations, and quite rightly so. The food is outstanding, the staff are warm and welcoming, the sommelier has excellent knowledge and we would highly recommend this fine dining experience.
