Man of Ross Inn in Herefordshire, County of

Great food Freshly cooked ingredients Nice people and great location in a lovely town full.of lovely shops

Prob the best burger I had anywhere will be hard to beat. It's a beast the cheese the steak and barbeque flavours all mixed together with tomato 🍅 and fresh lettuce ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We stopped here for lunch on August Bank Holiday Monday, completely on spec. This is a nice traditional pub serving a range of established drink brands and also some local ales. The clientele was a mix of locals and tourists. The menu caters for all choices… light hot lunches, sandwiches and main plates. All of them are good traditional pub food choices. We sat outside and the atmosphere and outlook was very pleasant. The quality of the food was excellent. I had fish and chips from the specials board. The batter was thin, light and crispy. The fish inside was cooked to perfection. The portion was huge! The staff were very helpful… we were warned of a 30 minute wait as the kitchen was flat out at that point, but once they were ready to accept new orders, we were immediately informed and our food was then served promptly. Highly recommended!

Lovely pub, that we were relieved to discover after cooking the hill from the river. Dogs allowed inside and out and they provided water for us. We had the homemade fish finger baguette and a prawn and smoked salmon salad. Both were enormous and came with home made sauces. Very very tasty. Lovely smiley service and a decent price.

Fabulous food, allergens accommodated, great service and the owners couldn’t have been more chatty, friendly and helpful.

Wow wow wow. What an amazing meal we had. The staff was so friendly and professional. We had the Sunday lunch and it was very tasty and hot. You are given loads of meat and a very good selection of vegetables. My husband said the bear was lovely. We will definitely be back and we have told lots of people to visit. We are so looking forward to coming back. Thank you again for a lovely meal.

Great food, nothing too much trouble. They were very accommodating re 4 year old's dairy allergy and fussy eating, in terms of customising the whole menu for him so not limited to children's menu. We had fish goujons and prawn cocktail off the starter menu, as hot day and not hungry for full meal. Lovely, tasty food. Thoroughly recommended. Very friendly, welcoming staff too.

This was one of the best Sunday lunches we have had ,It was really tasty and would highly recommend. Would also like to say that the staff were very friendly .

Great local pub atmosphere is great staff great dog friendly landlord landlady great bar staff are so friendly it’s well worth a visit

A great meal for family of 4 adults. Superb Vegan Chilli for son and Daughter, delicious scampi for wife and I had the warm hereford beef baguette which was absolutely outstanding, in fact the best tastiest baguette I've had in my life ....and I'm 61 ! All served with delicious plentiful freshly cooked Chips aswell as rice with the chilli. Cosy restaurant with very Friendly attentive staff /prompt service , great draught local ales to wash down a memorable meal in lovely Ross. We strongly recommend to eat here with reasonably priced fayre to add to this attraction.

Called in for a drink as nobody is open for food on a Monday and had the best welcome from the barman and the locals .

Called in for lunch, barman was very friendly and welcoming. We both had curry of the day, it was lovely and an overly generous portion! Well worth a visit if in town.

Absolutely fabulous pub! We had the best carvery ever there on Sunday, beautiful fresh cooked food, the cheesy mash was outstanding - a food group on its own! The staff are lovely, helpful and the atmosphere brilliant. We only went for lunch - which you need to book but ended up staying till closing. Brilliant beer, choose your music, the coffee is excellent! We consider it our local when in Ross, thank you guys for a fab time!

Best hake and chips I've ever had, and my friend said it was the best burger he'd ever had too. The friendliest of welcomes and terrific service, all by the road so great for people watching! Did I mention the HPA? Well kept, this pub is on my return to list. Full marks

We had great food outside on a sunny evening. Service was quick, friendly and food was very good. Only down side was the nearby busy junction but it didn't spoil our visit as everything else was positive, would definitely revisit and recommend

I rarely give 1 or 2 star reviews, but unfortunately our experience at the Man of Ross Inn warranted it. We decided to stop for a drink, and potentially lunch, on Thursday 20 Jan after a day taking in the sites at Ross-On-Wye. It was...

Booked a table and just as well. Had delicious specials from the board. Large portions with fresh veg. Local ales. Staff friendly and attentive.

Apart from the excellent range of real ales, this gem of a pub offers special fish nights on wednesdays, with fresh fish brought from Cornwall.

Lovely peop!e, lovely food. A whole gluten free menu! DI ordered a gluten free sandwich which was huge and came with extras it was lovely, would certainly go back again.

Just called in for a drink but was impressed with the pub and the friendly service. Very dog friendly with lots of attention and treats for my dog Lucy. Excellent ale and pleasant outside patio area to watch the world go by

Delicious food here on the way down to the Forest of Dean. Staff even brought over some chunks of ham for the dog, super friendly.

This is a "no nonsense" pub serving outstanding food. Staying in Ross for a week, we ate there twice. The Sunday roast featured tender beef (lamb and pork also available), lots of well cooked vegetables and very reasonable prices. We returned on a weekday evening...

Tried to book a table but trouble with line.Whoever was on the other end was very rude and abrupt ,no patience.I redialled got through and again she was very abrupt and immediately said NO. When I visit ROSS again I shall NOTbe visiting this establishment.

First of all go hungry. Second, book in advance. This is dog friendly pub both inside and out. It is located at the top of a hill, for those that struggle with their mobility. Great variety of food to choose from, especially if you are...

Found this pub as dog friendly & needed to dodge the rain. Nice atmosphere, what I call a proper pub. Good selection of food. Their homemade fish finger sandwich is absolutely amazing.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the hospitality you showed to my friends and I. We visited as part of a fancy dress stag do pub crawl and ended up going no further, choosing instead to spend the rest of the...

Ate there last Saturday it was terrific. So many fish choices and for a place obviously specialising in fish, my other half said the beef burger was fab too. Really good portions and excellent value. I hope you continue to do well!

Enjoyed an afternoon sat outside the Man of Ross on a lovely sunny after. Friendly and welcoming, serving some good ales, worth a visit when in Ross on Wye....

A group of us stayed in Ross over the weekend and had identified this establishment as what would seem to be a good watering hole, given the cask ales that were on offer. Friday, fine. Quaffing HPA and 'Butty' towards the end of the evening...

Had a bit of a frosty welcome, one of the staff members was quite rude. To the point where we felt so unwelcome we didn’t finish our pints after our food.

We stopped here passing through for lunch. Super friendly staff, amazing food - HUGE portions. Great value for money. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Fabulous Food a must for those that like fish Visited on 16th June and we had just missed the kitchen so booked a table for when the kitchen opened and went for a wonder around the town, well worth the wait. We had the fish...

We had an impromptu stop at Ross on Wye and were thirsty and hungry. The Man of Ross was the first pub we came across after walking up the hill, and how pleased we were! We sat outside and had some drinks which were served...

Managed to get a table which is obviously difficult due to this pubs popularity, staff were out of this world, COVID standards superb, (Ness) staff member was quick to ensure we had a good seat, food is fantastic but massive!!!! 5 stars and above.

Beautiful spot , very nice menu - i had the fish and chips which was Coley battered fish homemade chips, nicest plate of food I have had for a long time . Staff lovely and COVID secure. 10/10

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. My family had some club sandwich’s. All delicious very friendly and helpful staff. Thoroughly recommend.

Great to see the pub open again and full of people. Good ales and great service, my thanks to all concerned.

Having not been able to go out for drinks for some time, I was very keen to go out but unfortunately staff were very unwelcoming and hostile on arrival, I asked if they had a menu to which they simply replied 'no', when my drink arrived it was half filled... which is a first for me. I'd have thought they would take any business they could get but it would seem not. Wouldn't recommend.

Lovely to be back outside the man of Ross again. Lovely local pub with a great atmosphere. Extremely COVID safe and staff are lovely. The food is excellent and the portions are huge . Never have I seen such a big portion of fish and chips. Good to see local business re open and fingers crossed doesn’t need to close again......

My wife and I took a trip to Ross-on-WyeStopped for a drink at the Man of Ross it was a lovely sunny afternoon which was somewhat spoiled by the service we received from someone called NessaIt was the day of the Duke of Edinburgh‘s funeral and a few people stood up as a mark of respect during the minute silence however 30 seconds in this lady came out and shouted to everyone to sit down and everybody agreed it was such a disrespectful thing to do as there was only a few seconds left. I found this very disappointing and so did a number of other people. Also when my wife and myself arrived and spoke she noticed our Welsh accent and said in a derogative way that “we had your lot in yesterday”.

Stopped here a few times for a couple of drinks after walking. The staff and locals were very friendly and helpful

Booked a table for Sunday lunch, had to settle for non roasts. The portion sizes are huge and we left far too much, don't have starter unless you could eat an horse. Very friendly welcome and child friendly too. Good beer in a smallish place. Would return and think they need to reduce portion size.

We visited on a Thursday lunchtime and glad we pre-booked a table as it was busy and I can see why. The staff were very friendly and food was fantastic. The portions were massive, so unfortunately didn't have any room for dessert. We had a burger, fish and chips and lasagna - all very good and great value for money. Would highly recommend, but do book ahead

Hard to rate properly. Went because of the pictures of the sea food platter but they weren’t serving food, so disappointed. Good pint of Butty Bach and lively locals.

Proper pub - dog friendly, good service. Very nice sandwich plenty of chips. Well worth a visit. Good on the covid stuff.

Our favourite pub in Ross. Friendly staff, covid safe and lovely outdoor space. Nothing more needed.

We went to the man of ross for dinner during our getaway and man am I glad we did, the food was fantastic and a good price. My good lady had Gammon and I had the massive fish and chips. My fish could not have been cooked better, lovely big bit of fresh fish with light crispy batter...YUM. If you are in Ross-on-wye book here and enjoy.

We had fish and lasagna, best pub food I've had for a long long time, definitely worth a diversion from the franchises. Staff really friendly, will be back :)

Came here to meet family half way from Wales. After all the great reviews, I decided to book here for lunch. I wish I hadn't and I should have gone with my initial instinct when I called to book. The person (male) that I spoke to on the phone was rude and abrupt when taking my booking. The guy that greeted us and showed us our table was pleasant. Very much on the ball, took our drinks order instantly and our food order. The lady who served our food was so rude. She kept checking to see if she could take clear our table, as soon as our plates were cleared, she brought the bill and the card machine. We weren't offered any more drinks or asked if we wanted anything else. I enquired about dessert and they're currently doing a limited menu due to Covid, which is absolutely fine. We then continued to have a bit of a chat after paying our bill and the same lady kept coming over to check to see if she could relay our table. We felt so uncomfortable. She then told us our table was booked out in 20 mins time, which was fine and meant that we were allocated the able for 1 hour 45. We had no problem with this, but it would have been really helpful to have been told beforehand and with the right attitude. In the end, we just left as we felt so uncomfortable and for me, it ruined our family meet up. The food is average, portion sizes are huge (which I can imagine a lot of food goes to waste), and the service and attitude of some staff is appalling. Im really surprised at the high reviews this place gets.

Pub with a view on top of hill busy place with very pleasant staff . Only wanted coffee served with a smile and biscuits . Looked a good place for beers and had plenty of room outside to sit in the sun !

I cant even describe how awesome the food is here. We booked on Facebook. Easy. Welcoming. Friendly place. Food, HUGE and beautifully home cooked. Staff, lovely friendly and funny. Great quick service and all covid measures done very well. Cannot recommend enough! Cant wait to come back.

Recently reopened after the COVID chaos, this cosy, welcoming pub is definitely somewhere to be visited whilst staying in the Ross-on-Wye area. Staff were friendly (as were the customers) so we felt very at home here. Huge portions of tasty, home made food, great value, and dog friendly - would come back here time and time again if we lived nearer!

Great to see this place is back. Good food, great service and a lovely, friendly atmosphere. Not to be missed.

This is a warm, friendly pub, excellent staff. Made to feel very welcome. Lovely cold pint outside with an excellent view.

Before continuing our long journey and already having had lunch we decided on a quick drink to refresh in the heat and chose The Man of Ross pub. It obviously has a lot of history, I know that because it is written on the outside wall.The pub is at the top of the hill so a trek upwards if you are coming from the river direction and a little less arduous from the town.Covid restrictions are in place at the moment and we sat outside where there is plenty of seating. I only had a half of London Pride and you wife had a small white wine. Both were poured well and tasted fine. We did not eat but signs indicated that there is a lot of local sourcing of ingredients involved and looking at the portion size people had you will not go hungry.Worth a visit.

This was our first visit to a pub since lockdown. What a lovely place to enjoy the view of the Wye . Great friendly service ,we will definitely be coming back .

Visited today for a drink, a great little pub with very friendly and welcoming staff. All covid 19 measures in place. Would certainly visit again and recommend 👍.

Called in yesterday for a pint Landed up staying all day Food was great, service great, prices great Worth a visit if your ever in Ross

I went with my partner and we had the cod and chips and the steak burger. The burger was amazing, according to the menu they were made for the restaurant by the local butcher. You could tell, it was high quality meat and ingredients and was full of flavour. The bacon on the burger was almost like gammon (in a good way). The chips were similar to ones from the chip shop and were great. My partner who had the fish and chips said it was the best fish and chips they had ever had - It was also huge. We had sides of onion rings and cheesy garlic bread which were both tasty (there was loads of onion rings). It was reasonably priced and the staff were very attentive. Fully recommend.

My husband and I came for lunch here last Saturday. The restaurant was full which was a very good sign so we sat in the bar. The bar itself was lovely and warm and cosy. The bar staff were extremely helpful and attentive. We ordered ham egg and chips and a burger. Both came and were very generous portions for the £20.50 we paid, we struggled to finish and were very impressed with the meals. The home made chips were divine! Excellent quality with excellent service, we will definitely be back in the summer! Thank you Jo and Jamie

We called in on Sunday with our two little dogs (bar area dog friendly) . We ordered the Sunday lunch and it did not disappoint, plenty of fresh vegetables , leek bake and large slices of turkey. Staff and regulars were really friendly and we will definitely call in again sometime

Never fails to deliver a cracking meal whatever time of day. Last night I had the Fish Finger Sandwich...absolutely delicious. You cannot get better value for money or a friendlier service in the area. I should know cos I'm that good at eating.

Lovely cosy pub. Staff very friendly and food amazing, all freshly cooked. If you are in ROSS-ON-WYE this pub is well worth a visit for the food and beer.

Visited for Sunday lunch, very warm welcome in quite a small restaurent area, both had roast beef which virtually covered the plate, lovely variety of veg especially my favourite parsnips, all in all exellent meal ,very good value with a very pleasent ambience,highly reccomended.

This is in centre of ross it has a big fish on the outside where there is seating. Had an enjoyable lunch at a good price. Beer good had a couple of pints of real ale at reasonable prices ,as we were on holiday went to Man of Roos on boxing day pub busy nice friendly locals and had several dinks ,hard to fault it , as a pub should be.

Glad to see Man of Ross has won the best pub and bar in Ross on Wye. Well done to Po, Jane and the excellent staff, well deserved

We came here for Sunday Roast dinner. The food was cooked fresh to order, the portions were generous and the creamy, cheese leeks were AMAZING! Only negative to the experience was that at no point were we told our table booking was only for an hour - until we were looking at the pudding menu and then told we only had the table for three more minutes. Being as the main meals were so yummy, we were looking forward to having pudding too but this wasn't an option. So yes, come here for lunch but don't plan on a lazy, relaxed, calm meal.

I thoroughly enjoyed the local beer, delicious hake and sticky toffee pudding. I returned for a nice hot chocolate the next day.

We called in for a drink and were tempted by the menu so had lunch too. The home made fish finger sandwiches were delicious. Lots of fish and light baguette and lovely salad. Beer was good too.

Nice fireplace, friendly staff and punters. Enjoyed a chat with other customers and had a lovely evening. The dog was very welcome.

Having perused TA to find the nest pub food in Ross on Wye I had settled on the Man of Ross as my chosen venue for lunch.

A nice pub and eatery, near the river and on the corner of the main shopping area. Very friendly staff, excellent local food at good prices, very generous servings. To be recommended

Enjoyed a drink whilst sat outside with the dog who was allowed in the bar when they started serving food .

Ended up in this great little pub most evenings whilst spending a week in Ross fishing with friends. Friendly staff and locals who made us feel at home. The food was excellent pub fare with massive portions. My only criticism was that there was very little alternative to chips with each menu option. My friends and I would defianately go back though.

Popped in for a few pints in the afternoon. What was apparent straight away was the friendliness of the staff. We sat outside on the front terrace in the sun. The food we saw people eating looked really nice, and ample portions. The inside of the pub was very nice too. Next time we will try the food, it's just that we were booked in to an Italian restaurant. I'll be back.
