Bunch of Carrots in Herefordshire, County of

Outstanding CHRISTMAS SUNDAY carvery lunch for the 37 members of our Hereford Austin 7 Club, delicious roast beef and turkey with perfect veg and excellent cheerful service.

Great village pub in accessible location. Ideal for riverside walks or Haugh woods. Lovely food, fast service and friendly, efficient staff. Good for groups and staff meetings too.

Most had a senior carvery. Very good. Meats not at all overcooked and all the vegetables were Al dente. Shredded cabbage the best. My partner had the quiche that was very good. Pudding a bit sweet. Coffee on the better side of ok but not the best. Probably return though.

Visited the 'Bunch' a short while ago whilst in Hereford and stopped for lunch. Excellent carvery with a wide selection of veg and the best roast beef I have eaten for a while.

Great service and great food. 👌👌👍

The quality of the carvery was excellent and the chef serving was lovely. Pub has a very traditional country pub feel, which we loved.

Country pub restaurant with great food . Excellent senior carvery £15, every day. Great ham, egg & chips. Error on bill was quickly corrected, with apologies.

Looks like a run-of-the-mill pub menu but cooked really perfectly

My wife has justed waited at the for 15 minutes and no one served her Some chap walked past her several times, I doubt we'll bother again

Absolutely fabulous! I visited with family and three of us enjoyed the carvery (I had the nut roast which was delicious) my daughter had fish and chips and homemade cheesecake. Really lovely friendly atmosphere and it was so nice sitting in a really traditional pub, drinking Butty Bach and eating lovely food. Great to see it so busy even on a Monday night. Thank you for an amazing evening, can't wait to return!

Lovely food and the staff were amazing 👏

Food was good and cannot complain on that front. Although slightly over priced desserts and carvery were nice. However, being in a big group we were placed up stairs (which we were told upon booking, which was totally fine) however we received no service and multiple times had to ask to order drinks, clear plates, order desserts etc… when questioning staff they were friendly but clearly there was miss communication as I was apparently told over the phone when booking we would not receive table service - this information was not given. After accepting this and continuing to go downstairs to order for my table I was then told yes of course it is table service. Unfortunately the lack of care and consideration ruined our experience. Would not recommend for big groups of people as clearly cannot cater for them or be bothered to.

Family of 17 stuck up stairs out the way . Out of sight out of mind, No staff checking on us had to keep going down to the main area to ask for staff to take our order , clear our plates away .Not once did any member of staff ask is if we were ok Had an elderly disabled lady with us so not an enjoyable experience . Pure greed if you can’t cater for big group booking don’t expect them .

Absolutely gorgeous food. Went for the carvery. Busy on a Sunday as expected so had to wait a long time between getting menus, carvery tickets, drinks and paying the bill. So that's why service got 4 star. Didn't try the desserts as was too full but the family next to us had cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding which looked very tasty. Will definitely be coming back next time we are down in Hereford. Highly recommend. Staff all very friendly and love the local produce. Love the quirky name of the pub too. Can't fault it.

Superb all round, cannot fault in any way, thanks to all.

The best carvery I have ever had! Thankyou.

Friendly and very helpful, my Aunty & I had been on the road for an hour & a half when we arrived without a booking, and they very kindly found us weary travellers a table and squeezed us in. We ordered quickly and was soon served with a generous plate of roast beef with all the trimmings. Thankyou to all the staff and Management.

Skipped breakfast yesterday, so very hungry by the time we got to the carrots for lunch, which incidentally was the only thing I didn't put on my carvery plate. With 2 good slices of beef I loaded my plate up with very nice veg and had lashings of gravy. It was naughty but we really enjoyed our lunch. We've eaten there before but we're not frequent visitors and that coupled with the lovely welcome keeps it special.

Nice spot, haven't been for years but celebrated my brothers 30th there on Monday. Very friendly staff, food was superb and good range of drinks. Nice relaxing place 😊

So good. The place is adorable with it's unique old world charm. The carvery is plentiful and delicious. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Thought they might have lit a fire in there or turned the heating up …..a lot of people seating with coats on

The owner was very obliging when I asked to move tables due to a radiator being on.She found us a lovely table after switching her customers around. We watched a huge pie come out which looked great but I had fish and chips which didn’t wow me on arrival but it was lovely and tasty. My friend ordered the pasta in mushroom sauce and garlic bread which although was tasty was very disappointing. She had 8 pieces of pasta and 1 mushroom and loads of sauce. For £15 it was not what you would expect given the low cost of pasta she was very disappointed and left hungry. I cannot believe that a chef would serve this it was really just sauce and garlic bread. Please look at this dish to improve the quantity.

Very nice steak! Amazing service and atmosphere.

Great staff great food Made to feel very welcome. Food was excellent Will return Sunday! Hope it's as good

Delicious, hot food Friendly staff Offered a bowl of water for our dog Lovely atmosphere, cosy pub

Throughly enjoyed our visit to the Bunch of Carrots. The carvery was delicious, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

So disappointed this time! We have been coming to the Bunch Of Carrots for years and always highly rate it. I feel bad knowing I have not done a good review from the many enjoyable times spent here but I’m sure I will if I come again to try. This time I feel the need to write one… sadly not the best one in hopes something changes! Our Sunday roast dinners, which were very high in cost, were not up to the usual standard! Firstly, I have never seen a nut roast cost the same as a meat carvery. £18 for just a nut roast is very steep and I was surprised to see this priced on the menu! The most disappointing part was the roast potatoes - whole potatoes roasted so the insides were so dry. They needed to be at least half, maybe quarter of the size. The carrots could be roasted too, not just plainly boiled but that’s just preference! What looked like shop bought, cooked from frozen Yorkshire puddings were very average too but still tasty. We did tell the waitress about the disappointment in the roast potatoes and she was very professional and kind about it, however we were not offered any discount. When talking to another customer briefly, they too mentioned the dissatisfaction in the dinner, specifically the dry potatoes and said they were offered free coffee. Why weren’t we offered the same? I do understand that it was likely a different member of staff. I do also want to say how lovely each and every member of staff was! This review is purely just about the food. We will hopefully be back to try again in a few months to see if it gets better as this is truly a lovely pub! However, this time unfortunately not worth the expense or time!

Amazing. Only go once or twice a week :-)

Always a fantastic meal and good selection of drinks staff very helpful and friendly

Lovey ancient English pub. Flagstone floors. Vintage seating. Amazing carvery and buffet. Dog friendly.

Just amazing 🤩 The food was the best freshly cooked absolutely delicious 😋

Great food, especially the carvery which is available every day. Good service, friendly staff. Would happily recommend it but suspect it would be very busy at the weekends.

Ok carvery but service needs to be more attentive particularly for desert. Had to find menu at bar and then attract someone to take the order!

Had a lovely greeting from the staff especially as it was my birthday. Service was spot on, very friendly helpful staff. Both had the carvery, pork and beef were superb also a choice of turkey if preferred. Lots of vegetable options, all cooked lovely. Proper fresh gravy, chef was great, even offered me a spare Yorkshire pudding to celebrate my day. Very good food and didn’t go home hungry. . Highly recommend .

Lovely carvery, well cooked and tasty, very friendly staff and a great pub, plenty of parking would recommend to anyone, a bit to far for me unfortunately but spent a nice day out from Liverpool with family, next time I'm down I will be going back. Thank you for the hospitality 😊😊

Visited with family, the carvery is expensive for what it is, the roast potatoes were very greasy, but it was ok. The dessert i chose was Black forest gateaux , it was NOT a gateaux, it was a very dry square cake with little cream, very poor value for money, ive had black forest gateaux many times in my life. Never has it come out as a square cake. Very poor value for money. Very slow service

Had a light lunch here, and are planning our next visit with family. From the attentive bar staff to the waiting staff, everything was really good, can't wait to go back

We called in on the off chance of a table and were lucky they could accommodate us especially as Im on a mobility scooter. We were asked if we could vacate by 7 as the table was booked out then but as it was only 5 pm that wasn’t a problem. All the staff were very helpful and extremely polite Nothing was a problem even down to offering to carry my carvery

1.5pints of cider and 2 packets of crisps £10.75.a lot more than would be expected.either stowfords more than normal or crisps excessive.prices need to be displayed...and in all pubs.often not the case-including crisps.i still don't know the price breakdown

Could do with a better selection on the very small menu they gave. Service wasn't great we waited over 40minutes to be seated even though we had a table booked. Staff are quite laxidasical and weren't keeping on top of things such as our orders etc, also they tried to charge us for the previous table drinks order... the fish batter was extremely greasy to the point it was hard to eat. The carvery looked good though and the kids meals were OK.

Just finishing our dinners now, yummy 😋

Nice pub. The carvery was good but the vegetarian carvery was expensive for what it was.

Nice riverside pub with possibly the best carvery in Herefordshire. Veg that goes with it is all beautifully cooked and that includes the delicious roast potatoes which often let a carvery down. Very good value for the quality of food .Friendly and helpful staff.Definitely a regular for us.

The restaurant is situated in a beautiful location, featuring a stunning interior and an ambient atmosphere that immediately sets a relaxing tone. Additionally, the ample parking facilities make it convenient for guests. The staff were attentive, although they seemed a bit forgetful, as they returned twice to take our order, which was a bit frustrating. The menu looked amazing, but we faced disappointment when some of the starters we ordered were unavailable later. While the soup was delicious, the tart was dry, and the focaccia was still doughy in the middle, indicating inconsistency in the kitchen. The Carvery, however, was delightful and clearly the main attraction, as the butterfly chicken was also dry. Despite these issues, the desserts were faultless, beautifully presented, and included a nostalgic 'old school Black Forest Gateaux'. I would consider returning, but I'd likely stick to the Carvery or give it another chance, hoping it was just an off day.

We were supposed to have a big family meal at the Bunch of Carrots - couldn't make it due to a couple of people not being well, but they did us 9 x carvery takeaways! Lovely food, fantastic staff who even offered to do gluten free yorkshires and veg for our gluten free guest. Just brilliant. Thank you so much.

The best Sunday roast carvery we have every had, complements to the chief and staf, especially Amy lovely service from her, very full of life, thanks again.

It is one of the best village pubs, including restaurants near to Hereford. Best place for a small group's party. They have a variety of desserts, too. Ginger flavourful ice cream is awesome. Spacious parking available. The restaurant design is attractive.

Super place to have a carvery whilst visiting herefored. Food was super. Will go again when we visit

Propper olde-world country pub with fantastic charm

A lovely carvery but the food could have been warmer.

Always friendly service and good food. The carvery is highly recommended with a vegan option.

Stayed close by and visited this pub every day to eat or for a drink. Really lovely pub.

I must admit the service and food was second to none very friendly and welcoming 🙏 I chose the carvery and everything was perfect from vegetables to meat. Good selection of beer's and ciders

Lovely pub but I was shocked with my £17 fish and chips. It was a very small, tasteless, skinny piece of cod in batter, accompanied by chips and rock hard peas. Definitely not value for money. Will not be going back.

Stopped here by chance on a day out to Hereford. We only had sandwiches, but they were fresh and presented well.

Recent price increases and reduction in amount of meat means no longer value.Other carveries cheaper and better portions.

Beautiful little pub and lovely food staff very efficient and friendly.

No been for a long time, great service, staff very helpful for my wife's allergy. Carvery was very good, plenty of choice. And a great place especially in the summer

Good food not as good as it was

The carvery is perfect, the pub is really lovely. Staff are great apart from one she was extremely rude to a family member of mine, he ordered the nut roast as you have to pre order. When we all got our carverys including him a lady who I think is manager I'm not sure she was so rude and said " next time you need to preorder" which he did and she just bluntly walked off. Apart from that the rest of the staff are spot on as well as the food.

Came for the carvery with my dad and WOW. It was excellent. My plate was piled so high but I devoured it all! Really delicious. My father is in a wheelchair and they were very accommodating too. Overall excellent experience

Extremely rude staff. So rude they made our 4 year old cry as she was eating a bag of crisps not brought from the pub. We had ordered drinks and are booked for Sunday lunch which we ended up cancelling due to the staff. Stay well clear and go to one of the other beautiful and friendly pubs in the area. Note to the owners, retrain or replace current staff if you wish to retain existing customers. I for one will never step foot in this place ever again.

First experience coming to Bunch of Carrots and will be our last. The staff are rude and arrogant. We bought drinks from the bar and we sat in the garden. We gave our 5 years old daughter a pack of the crisp from the car which we have bought earlier in the day, only to be aggressively approached by one of the staff (and several others were watching from the distance) saying that we weren’t allowed to eat food (crisp) that not served directly from the pub. They brought my daughter to tears which shows the lack of professionalism and customer service within their organisation. We were also pre booked for Sunday lunch which we ended up cancelling as we would never want to step foot into such environment again. We wish we had read the previous reviews about this pub as it certainly would have prevented us from wasting our money. My advice to future customers would be to stay clear of this pub and visit one of many other beautiful pubs within the area

Met up with my brother and sister in law as they were caravaning near Hereford. Had the carvery with pork and beef ( turkey also available) with a good selection of vegetables. Good tasty food and for £17 very good value. Friendly staff and a nice interior made for a good three hours of catch up chat.

Visited with a party of 11 and were warmly welcomed by the staff. The starters were delightful, and the carvery exceeded expectations with its generous portions of fresh, perfectly cooked veggies and delicious meat. A delightful experience overall!

Good value carvery in nice surroundings. Parsnips a tad hard, but nevertheless, tasty meal. Waitress very pleasant. However, carvery chef was not very happy. Would recommend

Pork Valentine very nice. Lovely pub in a great location. Nice family meal

The best carvery as always. Desserts are as good. Been dining here 2 decades and never disappoints me.

Very disappointed in portion size and ale pie had 2 pieces of meat tray bake. Certainly not as good value as last time. Staff very good and friendly. I would pay more if decent portions but for the price very disappointed

The place was rammed, which speaks volumes. Good food served with charm. The only slight niggle? If you've got a big sign saying "Real Ale" as feature, perhaps a better choice than the same three beers sold by every other pub in the area would be nice.

There have been some mixed reviews on here recently but we have never been disappointed. As there are 8 of us we usually go mid week, and often have the carvery. We think this is great value and were especially delighted this time to hear and see that the sweets are now homemade. The staff were friendly and welcoming and I am sure that we will be back again soon.

Fantastic meal but the lady taking our order stood about 5 foot away so couldn't hear what she was saying and a smile goes a long way she didn't like smiling.

Had a really lovely meal, the service was excellent and never rushed to leave our table.

Enjoyed a Sunday Carvery for mothers day. My mum always wanted to go, so I took her and she was not disappointed. Definitely re-visiting very soon

Have visited several times,nice cosy pub,food good,staff pleasant with the exception of an extremely grumpy chef,however on this particular occasion he was so rude I wasn’t able to eat my meal and left in tears. Whilst the staff were apologetic,it completely spoilt my evening,I would like to think the chef’s rudeness and general unfriendly manner has been addressed to avoid any further distress to customers.

Went for a carvery after lots of good reports. It didn't disappoint. Good value for money and great food. I am sure we will be back.

Went here for lunch, carvery amazing, lovely pub, staff first class.

Great service, very friendly. Excellent food. I recommend the the steak pie. It took up half the plate, and the meat in it was lovely. My wife had quiche if the day, which she loved.

Sunday carvery lunch with friends, food good

We were staying close to The Bunch of Carrots for a couple of nights- its's a treat to find a pub open all day nowadays- but to find one as lovely- cosy & quirky as this one is a treat- we called a couple of times after a walking to enjoy a well earned drink- lovely atmosphere- staff friendly & welcoming.

Absolutely fabulous place next to the River Wye whether for a light lunch, full carvery or special function. Vegan & vegetarian options available too. We’ve done the lot over the years. The quality of food is excellent, always a nice atmosphere and the service very friendly and professional. Special mention to Catherine, the boss-lady, who went the extra mile to make our recent function special. Thank you.

Wicked Pie and probably the best head I’ve ever had!!

Beautiful food. Lovely place to be. Staff are great

It's a very atmospheric place. A good place to meet friends

Authentic country pub serving Sunday lunch every day of the week. Best ti book, even on Mondays!

Visited Sunday carvery for first time in a few years. Staff friendly. Food not so welcoming. Major disappointment was the roast beef. We were first to ask for beef – I felt sorry for my wife as I later discovered she was given the meat from the very end of the joint. Unsurprisingly, it was overcooked, tough and tasteless. I had a slice of beef, (fourth slice in), tough, tasteless and grey. Slice of pork, tasty and tender. Slice of turkey, cooked to destruction and completely dried out. Proffered (and declined) stuffing balls looked pale and unattractive. Yorkshire pudding was so-so. All the above served by the surliest person in the history of hospitality. “Roast” potatoes were actually “Burnt” potatoes. Black and inedible outside with an undercooked inside. Vegetables in the main insipid. Carrots virtually raw, cauliflower cheese cooked well, with a little bite remaining, but zero sauce, just what appeared to be a covering of cheese. Green beans were cooked to the point of destruction and consequently tasteless and limp. Also, serving dish was half full of water so beans subsequently leaked water on to plate. Gravy was nothing special unfortunately. I intended to raise these issues after the meal, but our waitress whisked away our plates before I had time, making reference towards the food left on our plates with a smile and a nod and a cheery “big ole dinners aren’t they!”, obviously not considering the remains were there due to an entirely different reason. I have tried to be as accurate and fair as possible in my review. I am not a food snob. Quite the reverse. I would find much more pleasure (and much, much better value) in a breakfast at the bus station café! I appreciate it is a carvery, so was not expecting fine dining, but it fell way short of being enjoyable even for that level. Based on this experience I would not visit again, nor would I recommend others do.

Always top class service and food.

What a lovely pub. Rather rarely these days they serve a daily Carvery.... And I can say that this was the best Carvery I've ever had. No scrimping on portions, friendly staff.... Delicious. Pub has a number of nooks and crannies to sit in, very pleasant atmosphere. Maybe a tad expensive? But I'm being picky here, I heartily recommend it.

Great food, professional and helpful staff! Top floor used for private partys, can hold at least 40-50 people.

A lovely country pub. Highly recommended :-)

Really amazing food it was busy when we visited but staff had everything under control and we were still well looked after

Fabulous so wonderful and worth the 250 miles to visit for the carvery. Actually we drove from Harleston, Norfolk to Herefordshire to visit the bungalow we are going to rent ( through Chancellors of Hay on Wye and Jane Carter is a wonderful Estate agent) for a few years and decided to visit our old haunts. The Bunch of Carrots, Hampton Bishop is and has always been top of our list. Fabulous food.

Menu a bit limited but well presented.

I don’t visit Hereford a lot, but stumbled across this place and was immediately created politely and shown to a table. Despite not having booked the front of house and kitchen staff are great and friendly would recommend.

Well organised place. Nice food, pleasant staff.

Went last night for a meal with 6 friends, food was lovely, great selection on the carvery and fresh, service was great, staff really friendly, highly recommend.

Lovely food,never had a bad pint there and service was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Middletons trip to Hereford, called in here for lunch first, excellent food lovely dessert and very nice staff.

Always amazing food and friendly helpful staff
