Went for a carvery at approximately 4:30 pm. The meat was dry and over cooked. The vegetables were not fresh and I gad to wait for roast potatoes. Considering it is over £14 for a medium carvery, I will not be going back for a carvery and would be reluctant to go there for any meal. The lager was

Would never go there again.most of the food they had sold out off .if you liked pasta that was roughly what you could have to eat.so we ordered chips with peppercorn sauce .waited 35 mins.just for chips.when they arrived they looked like they been warmed up about 5times they weren't nice .then got told they had been freshly cooked for us .soon went back and got refund.the men behind the bar were like twiddle de twiddle dum.u do that I finish what you doing .when moaning about the mess customers had left the tables do it so other customers can't hear what your saying.customer pays your wages.apart from my drink u didn't get much wages from me

We booked this pub/restaurant for a meal after attending the races. As it was Christmas they only offered a Christmas menu. I explained it would not suit me so they agreed to offer the normal menu if we pre-ordered and paid a deposit. The setting was lovely and not over crowded. The staff we polite, friendly and professional. The food was exceptional and I will definitely return.

Booked here for a Christmas meal , bar staff very pleasant , table dressed well with crackers and party poppers , no atmosphere though , the starters were good , the beef was inedible , the(frozen) roast potatoes were hard in places and the gravy was tasteless and runny , the veg was the best thing about the meal . No one came to ask if everything was ok with the food so we had to find someone to complain to ,the owner,who decided that he would knock off £2.50 off each beef meal , which was an insult on a £35 set meal to which the meat was not edible . Would we book to go next year definitely not !!

Please note *UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT* in order of minor to MAJOR 1. We were not once offered any sauces with our food so went without as staff were out of site (despite it being very quiet) 2. The food took 55 minutes to come out despite there only being one other group in the whole restaurant. 3. The food was luke warm, despite the 55 minute wait. Very average tasting food for myself, my friend however, was very dissatisfied and did not eat his, as well as the order itself being wrong. 4. MAJOR - my friend approached the bar staff to say that he was not happy with his food, the order being wrong etc.. who I assume is the manager, Just stared at him and was unapologetic and even argued with my friend to say that his opinion on the food was wrong. Myself and my partner paid our bill without complaint and left the pub…THEN while walking down the street, the pub manager appeared, stood in front of ourselves and our toddler and demanded to know where our friend was! We said it was nothing to do with us, we had paid our bill and gone our separate ways, he went on to say he was angry and unhappy that our friend had complained about the food in front of customers (where else was he supposed to do it?!?) also as if this person had showed any professionalism or manners thus far! Myself and my partner had to tell the man that we were offended he had FOLLOWED us, CONFRONTED us in street and DEMANDED to know where our friend had gone?!?!? It’s actually unbelievable when I think about it! What a terrible experience, terrible food, terrible service, terrible professionalism and well…basic manners or restraint?! RIDICULOUS

Used to come in quite regular, but hadn’t been in since the NEW OWNERS/MANAGEMENT had taken over. We had to wait 20 minutes before a drinks order was taken. When asked what we would like, one of the people in our party asked “ what lagers do you have please” so the guy waiting on us didn’t know, so had to go and check ( there was only 4 to choose from). We eventually ordered drinks ( £4.00 for a Diet Coke) which I thought was quite expensive, and then tried to order some food. Im currently on a diet so asked for Steak, with just salad, and the other person ordered a “ Pie”. ( the pie was actually a bowl of stew, with a pasty top over the top). When the food came out after a 55 minute wait, the food was wrong. The steak came out with Chips, Onion rings, tomatoes and sliced happy shopper mushrooms. Not ONCE did anyone come over and make sure that everything was okay, not ONCE were we offered any sauces with our meal ( basic tomato ketchup or Mayonnaise as example). And neither did they ask if I wanted a steak knife, to go with, well, my steak? I asked for my steak to be cooked medium, and it came out as tough as old boots, chewy, the chips ( which I wasn’t eating anyway were cold). I think they had been cooked on the radiator! So anyway, as the steak was inedible, I politely told the manager who then just set stared at me, and didn’t apologise, ask if I wanted a replacement or take the feed back well! After waiting for a good 20 minutes once we had finished eating, I then had to go and ask for the bill, as we were waiting to go, and the plates still hadn’t been cleared, nore were we asked if we wanted any more drinks. If they were busy, I could totally understand, but the fact that there was only one other table in there, who had sandwiches, I thought this was poor, especially as it was under new management and you’d of thought they’d want to set an example. When I then went to the til, to complain politely about the food, I was then told by the manager “ well you’re lying! There’s nothing wrong with that steak, I’ve just been into the kitchen and cut through it with a butter knife” I then said, I cook steak regularly and that was not acceptable, which he stated at me with a face of thunder! I asked what is he going to do in regards to taking the food off the bill, and he replied very angrily “ I’ve taken the steak off!!!” I did also mention the fact that the meal came out as standard, and not as requested as I was on a diet. To which he very rudely replied “ well, you didn’t ask us for dietary requirements” every other pub/ restaurant I’ve been to, they ask about dietary requirements BEFORE they take your order, and not when you’re paying the bill! The manager then, took the steak off the bill after arguing back with me for 10 minutes, in all this I’d never felt so uncomfortable, ever, being a customer! He didn’t like my feed back, and refused to accept the fact that the food wasn’t great, by raising his voice and arguing with me. We eventually paid for the drinks and the other meal and left. This wasn’t it though! As we then LEFT the pub, and walked up the road, me and my partner walked on, and my other friend and his partner ( 3 months pregnant with a toddler) were talking on the phone up the road from the pub, and THE MANAGER chased them up the road, interrupting their phone call and asked where I was!! So the manager, left the pub, ran up the road after us to argue with us again!! My friend asked him, “ what are you doing mate? Why have you chased us up the road!? To which he replied “ where’s your fiend! He’s made me very angry!!” I honestly cannot believe this happened. This sounds like a comedy sketch, and a lot of you reading this, must think this is a joke, but it’s really not. THE MANAGER RAN UP THE ROAD after us, to tell us he was angry with our feedback!! For the love of god, if you’re thinking of eating anywhere in Hereford, DO NOT COME HERE!!! 0/5.

I went here with a friend to watch a local band play and have a few drink. Prompt service by friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.

Can't say much...popped in for a quick drink before the cathedral event; handy as it's almost next-door!

Not big enough for me and my dog inside. It's awkward sitting outside as you need to go into the bar to get your drinks. However it's a very popular pub.It could do with a serving hatch and bigger indoor space.
Lovely pub with friendly staff and great food. Service was quick and very dog friendly.

Can't rate the food as I haven't tried it....yet. The staff are friendly and the beer garden is good and quite the sun trap. The DJ/ vibe is quite 'Cafe del Mar' and balearic on weekends. Week days are a quieter affair and good for an after work drink.

Can't rate food, didn't have any! Good service, nice outdoor

Good effort, but not the best, waiter was fab called Calum ?

Disappointed really as this pub was one I frequently attended 54 yeas ago when their steak sandwiches were to die for. I took my husband as the menu on the website looked promising and he was looking forward to the steak. However although the surroundings were great and the service was very good the menu we were offered was the summer menu not the one advertised. My Husband chose the steak kebab and satay sauce with flat bread? Although the steak was good the satay sauce was too liguidy and lacking in flavour and a salad was served on top off the flat bread not really presented well. We ordered a starter of olives with focaccia bread but this came with our main meal so was wasted really. My salmon with linguini was better than advertised as instead of smoked salmon it was poached salmon which I preferred and was delicious,, if a little cooker not piping hot. The wine was excellent. I hade desert of ice cream which in fact was Rick hard and tasted more sorbet than ice cream. The waiter was excellent.
