We didn't have food but it was quite nice otherwise. Interesting stuff to see upstairs.

The food is very good, the service somewhat impersonal and on a cold day it was rather cold and lunch had to be eaten with coats on.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat, we had toasted Tea cake and cream tea, the cream tea was the best I've ever had.

Visited in Sep, and there is a antique place as well within the same premises. Good Coffee, but wouldnt say the same with the food (or atleast what I ordered). Friendly staff who explained about the building. yes it is more than 500 years old ..

This is a review for the antique centre which is a part of the restaurant/cafe building. We have been to the antique centre for many years and recently have considered moving to Leominster because the town is a delight, especially the antique shops, The Merchant's house being our favourite. However, not so any more. The prices in the centre have skyrocketed to simply stupid amounts! £11 for a ragged, torn vintage needle holder made of cardboard with scrappy felt inside and a few needles, £135 for a women's coat, £28 for nearly every dress regardless of quality or age, £7 for a seriously used t-towel, £11 for others.......what are they thinking???? This is an area that we used to love, filled with fabrics, sewing and knitting bits and bobs (you know, the sort of sewing supplies you inherit from a mum who has passed away), needlework items, women's clothing, costume jewellery, bags, fabric hankies, vintage gloves etc etc that has now completely let the entire shop down by it's high prices......we walked out in disgust and sadly will say goodbye to Leominster for good! Save youself some bother and stop in at the cafe but give the antiques a miss....go to the charity shops in the local area and you can pick up some of the same items for next to nothing...just keep your eyes open and be prepared to rummage around.

We love these oldie worldly buildings...The merchants house cafe and antiques centre establishment dates back to the 16th century and is a grade 2 listed building...Inside you can see all the amazing original oak timber construction.... The cafe is situated in the Corn Square in the centre of Leominster It's open Tuesday to Saturday from 9.30 am to 3.30 pm.......All the staff were lovely and welcoming,being very attentive to all our needs......The cafe serves home cooked meals and snacks plus teas, coffees plus cold drinks...In the summer you can sit outside in the enclosed courtyard belonging to the property.....A very enjoyable experience,...Thank You all....?
Loved this historic building and setting as now a cafe and antique centre. The lunch was delicious and immaculately presented by attentive smiling ,happy staff which makes all the difference.

Friendly and helpful staff, who do their utmost to help. It's dog friendly and breakfast selection was good and delicious. The experience was slightly blighted by some rude and arrogant customers who treated the waitress like their personal slave, and felt they had priority over all other customers. The staff dealt with it professionally.Merchants House was excellent and will make it a regular stop off.

Visited for a warming snack on a cold, wet day. Delicious, very hot soup and a wonderful cheese scone (cheese all thorough, not just on top). Polite staff who listened to what we wanted and how. The only reason for less than 5 stars is that the restaurant was not as warm as we would have liked.
