Last Thursday's Butty Bach was good enough but the emphasis here is really on the excellent food and the accommodation (which is why we were there).

A return visit after a 2 or 3 year absence but this time only for a quick pitstop pint of good Hobsons Best as we walked the Mortimer Trail. Hobson Twisted Spire also available and the draught ciders were Robinsons Flagon and Stowford Press. The menu looked as good as I remembered (although prices can reflect this) and by all accounts this pub is usually popular with diners although not so much yesterday lunchtime. Even so, only our table (and the one next to us) seemed to be not laid out for dining. I suspect this pub doesn't usually get 2 pairs of soaking wet walking boots deposited temporarily in the hallway but they were quite happy with our limited custom.

A hard won reputation for good and imaginative food, but a little over-pretentious; when the menu tells you how the chef isn't going to cook lamb properly it indicates someone more concerned with fashion than flavour. Please do good ingredients justice by cooking them a little longer

A rather unfriendly manager and a pub that is totally given over to food - you'll have to go when you can sit outside, there are plenty of seats looking over the river. This isn't terribly scenic though as there is a busy A road right next to it. The food is (very) expensive and the only saving grace was a decent pint of bitter. Not one to go out of your way for I'm afraid.

Lovely pub in a lovely setting. Food and beer both very good and a friendly landlord.

This pub is all about the location alongside the River Lugg near an old stone bridge. My bottle of Brook Farm Cider went down very well, whilst watching the local family of ducks come in and out of the river countless times. Real ales were from Wye Valley - HPA & Butty Bach. The bar itself was fairly quiet. Whilst we arrived out of meal times, I imagine this place does a good trade in food.
