Had the good fortune to arrive during 'happy hour' so enjoyed a couple of pints of Wye Valley Bitter at �2/pint :)
Stayed on for a meal in the evening, usual pub fare available but what we had was nicely presented and ample portions.
Nice looking building but the interior is a bit 'tired'.

Dont really understand the RUDE RUDE RUDE comment, the people at this pub are very friendly, sometimes over helpful, but never rude. Perhaps the previous comment is from someone who needs to get out a bit more, this is a proper country pub, a mix of good clientelle. I was sat having a meal the other night listening to a couple of guys at the bar, one was very earthy with a white staffie dog, and stood next to him was a gent in a business suit and from the conversation ran a car dealership somewhere, the conversation was quite funny, but it goes to show that there are a good mix of people in this pub who no matter from what walk of life, mix and mingle and are equals. The food was excellent value for money, the service was very good, Trevor behind the bar is pleasant and helpful, and i will definitely be using it on my regular visits to the area.

Rude Rude Rude. No surprise this pub is always quiet, when the bar staff are so blatantly rude. Shame really, being my local, would love a decent pub near by. But this isn't it. Rude Rude Rude.

Roadside pub that whilst being friendly had a limited beer range, with only 1 real ale on offer. I vaguely recall this may have been Old Speckled Hen. However, they did have a reasonable range of bottled cider from local producer Olivers. Snooker and then football was being shown on the TV. Not a bad pub. But shame they only had 1 beer.

Had an excellent lunch here last week, food delicious
and well presented. Wye Valley Bitter only available but was ok.
Main downside was the lack of a welcoming fire in the hearth. A fire has always been
a plus in this barn of a pub and the cost of a few logs would go a long way
to make it more welcoming.

Previous review WAS spot on, however the pub is under new management and things are looking up offering a selection of real ales and home cooking from both a la carte and bar menus. The restaurant has been redecorated and I gather the rest of the pub will be shortly. The infamous lap top left with the previous "landlady"!.
|
When I entered the pub I was not greeted with a friendly smile or hello just a grunt!(and this was from the landlady) I had to wait a long time to be served for my second drink as the owners seemed to be more interested in their lap top and serfing the net! I do not dare to try the food after hearing several very bad reports.The toilets needed a good clean. I feel sorry for the locals who only have one pub and unfortunately this is it! Maybe a course in buisness managment and customer skills would help!

this place is crap
you only have to ask yourself,why is it only open in the evenings?why has the restaurant closed?
ive been twice and the beer is lets say below standard.
lets hope the credit crunch rids the area of this sorry place.

never again

I totally agree with comments made below. Our frst visit and we had a wonderful lunch from a set menu at very reasonable price. Wished we lived nearer to this one. There were 3 ales on and the Spinning Dog one I had was a little cloudy but tasted OK. Wye Valley was clear and I think that Spinning Dog brewery has the problem, not this pub. Will be back.

First time visit and we will be going back. Attentive but unobtruisve staff made us feel very welcome without ever being in our faces. Not only was the food extremely good value it was well presented and of a really good quality. Too often recently we have eaten bought in desserts and it was a pleasure to be served real home made fayre. Imaginative sauces with the main course as well.

Whatever happened to Jimbo Smith? Has he moved? Has he choked on one too many bad pints? Whatever, I miss his reviews because he was always spot on. This pub is friendly, cares about its ale and the quality of the food. Worth having a reasonably priced meal in the bar - if you can get in - it is very popular and deservedly so.

Fair sized bar and small snug, restaurant serving excellent a la carte food plus bar food. Since taking over, Sian and Phil have kept up a constantly changing guest beer policy, which is always in excellent condition. I've been in most of the village pubs in Herefod since moving here four yers ago and this i the friendliest.
