Wellend is nice, probably max distance for you, the Inn at Welland has served me up some nice meals. There are various areas with Malvern such as Malvern Wells which are nice and have plenty of good eateries nearby.
The journey to the hospital is a nightmare at the moment and will be until phase 4 of the major roadworks is finished ( dual carriage way being added from Powick roundabout to M5 J7). This will affect almost any journey where you are travelling from west of the M5 and it isn’t quicker to use the M5 from J5 or J8 to reach J7 or J6 which are a short distance from the hospital.
Worcstershire is a nice place to live, I moved here from SE Kent in 2012 and love it.
