Temple Bar in Herefordshire, County of

5 wet muddy bikers turned up expecting to be turned away (on told to stay outside) but we were welcomed inside and given a table. Locals were great also. Brilliant atmosphere with fires burning. Highly recommended.

A very nice friendly village pub

We had an absolutely delicious supper, everything was just perfect. The smoked haddock souffle was amazing, as were the main courses and puddings. Its a shame we live so far away !! Thank you.

Amazing find , staying in grosmont , wanted a decent roast and found it here , food excellent, served by such friendly staff, I had pork , husband had beef , couldn't fault it , 100% recommend

We stayed here at The Temple Bar Inn when we visited Oldfield Forge. The Temple Bar Inn is ideally situated to Oldfield, only a 16 minute drive away, which was one reason why we stayed here. We were not disappointed. Our stay at Temple Bar Inn was lovely. The staff, were friendly and showed us to our bright, clean and modern room with tea and coffee making facilities. There was also a TV and yes, WIFI. Our evening meal was delicious and the full English breakfast got you started for the day. No cheap sausage here and if you like black pudding, you got a slab! I certainly recommend staying here.

Our walking group of 15 arranged lunch and have nothing but praise for the Temple Bar. Lovely food, friendly staff, excellent service. A good village pub with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Thank you.

Lovely, welcoming village pub, popped in for a quick drink whilst visiting the area, was made to feel welcome, very nice pub

What a nice place. The room was absolutely spotless. To be fair so was every inch. We did not eat unfortunately but when walking through restaurant a few times. I looked good and empty plates. The owner was very accommodating and friendly. As were all.

Had the most amazing Sunday Lunch. So delicious I didn't want it to end.

Disappointing We we’re 2 coupes .out for a light lunch .There wasn’t a lot of choice .we wanted the steak sandwich but there were no steaks .3 of us ordered roast pork and apple sauce panini .Barely any apple sauce in two and none in the other .Pork bland tasteless .The menu was printed extremely small type we asked if there was a menu with larger print there wasn’t .The music speaker was above our table made it difficult to hear each other we did ask for it to be turned down which helped . .

Came for a Sunday roast and while the service was quick it was £18.50 for luke warm food and beef that was mostly gristle. No opportunity to say anything as we weren't asked how the food was at any stage. We hadn't been asked if we wanted dessert and the bill was brought over when they collected our plates. It was all very odd and disappointing considering the reviews. TLDR - not worth £18.50 for a luke warm low quality roast dinner

Nice pub in a nice village. Added bonus of having an outdoor area.

We had a meal this evening, fish pie was delicious, packed with flavour. Desserts were spit on too. Friendly staff. Well worth visiting.

We had a fantastic stay here. The room was great, just what we needed for our one night stop over for my partners birthday. The bar and restaurant were also lovely, we didn’t try the food as we had dinner booked else where but did had a few drinks at the bar before and after and had a great time with the locals who we’re all super friendly and welcoming. The stand out for us was the staff and service we received though, Gino in particular was fantastic and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Decent fry up for breakfast in the morning too! Can’t fault this place at all - 10/10 from us.

Besides limited parking, lovely spot, nice staff and good beer selection.

Very well appointed pub with rooms. Food was excellent. The breakfast was outstanding. Staff were uniformly helpful and polite, a bit out of the way hence only 4 stars but everything under the managements control was very good

.A very comfortable B&B in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside. An excellent pie and beer for dinner. Friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Fab pub.fab staff. great local.family friendly.dog friendly. Great location and community oriented. Amazing fund raiser for charities. What more I I say Amazing place

We booked to go here as part of an activity weekend away for a stag party. We preordered an evening meal. The food was prepared and served in really good time and was ok for pub food. More care could have been taken with some of the food (chips a bit undercooked and steak a bit overcooked etc), but it was perfectly fine after a busy day of activities. Whilst I appreciate we were a ‘stag party’ of 15 can set people eyes rolling and perhaps make people a bit apprehensive as a group we were well behaved and sober. This biggest and probably only indicator that we were a stag group was the stag was carrying his inflatable future wife dressed as a pink power ranger. The pub is lovely, the people less so. On arrival it was like the scene from American Werewolf when they walk into the locals only boozer. A drunk older man at the bar stood there glaring us up and down, a group of three very young looking males next to him began to talk about about us and behave in a weird passive aggressive manner. Sadly after a couple of decades as a police officer I developed the knack of spotting trouble makers and these ‘boys’ appeared upset that we were on their turf. The bar staff and possibly the landlady weren’t much better. When asked if we wanted to order drinks before we went through to the dining area I replied ‘can we take a seat first’ mainly because I wanted to see what drinks were on offer. I received no response and they just asked another one of our group the same question. When seated opposite a possible family they started staring and talking about us. It was really strange. They were saying things like ‘oh look there’s 15 of them’, ‘look at him’. On returning to the bar I was served by who I think may be the landlady. At the end of the transaction I said thank you very much only to get a blank stare and she turned and walked away. A couple of our group went outside to vape and came quickly back stating we shouldn’t talk to the locals. Afterwards I was told that the group of three at the bar had become a larger group and were acting in the same way again. We ate and left. Whilst this may all seem quite trivial and the establishment may come back with ‘a reason’ or ‘version of events’ I wanted to let future travellers and the owners know and reflect on this. Myself and many of the group are well travelled and rarely experience a reception like this. We were made by locals and staff to feel unwelcome and as if we had no right being there. Please take this on board and learn.

Too many pubs claim to be 'gastro' when the reality is drab battered brown stuff. Well, not here in Ewyas Harold! Really super quality food, surprisingly good, cooked to perfection, and served with a genuine smile. We chose The Temple Bar Inn for its proximity to walking country (15 minutes to the Black Mountains), but we'd come straight back tomorrow for the cooking. Dino is an excellent host and his chef is the real deal. Get in before the Hay-on-Wye crowd discover it - and book a room while you're at it! A proper gem.

One night B&B to meet a friend. Dinner was great, nice dining room. Room was find for one night. Staff were all very friendly.

Stop off for a hot drink lovely warm friendly will be back when in area and more time to try a meal

We stayed for two nights in one of the four rooms available at The Temple Bar Inn. The rooms were very comfortable, modern, and clean. They had a TV, Coffee Machine, and fan, and the bathroom had a good shower. We ate in the restaurant both nights, and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. The local lamb was a highlight. The atmosphere in the bar on Friday and Saturday nights was very good, and that added to our stay. The owner was very welcoming, and his friendly approach helped us with anything we wanted to know about our day's plans. Breakfast was also very good. The EV charging in the car park came in very handy.

After being let down by another pub in Hereford at 7.45pm last night, the temple bar Inn managed to get us in for 8 and have us fed and out by 9/9.30, all staff were smiley and happy and having never been to the area before made us feel very welcome. My partner said the rib eye steak was unbelievable never had steak that melted in your mouth as much as this one did. The chicken burger was divine and we were 2 very happy customers :) Thankyou so much :)

Went for lunch recently which was very tasty. Steak and chips, which was very reasonably priced. The chips were lovely and crispy and the steak nicely cooked and tender. Staff were very friendly and pleasant. I will certainly go again.

Friendly village pub with a superb restaurant. Booked Sunday lunch for the family. There was a warm and welcoming atmosphere and a pleasant busy buzz about the place. Lunch was a most generous meal with a wonderful range of vegetables as well as the beautifully cooked pork and beef. We managed to clear our plates, but only just! In my opinion the red cabbage and 'Nonnas' peas were the stars of the veg show. All served with courtesy and and attention to detail. Highly recommend a visit!

A fabulous gem of a place in the little village of Ewyas Harold! The owner Gino, could not have been more welcoming when we arrived, and all the staff are amazing! The rooms are small but beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The beds are really comfortable, and the room was quiet even with the window open! Food in the restaurant was amazing, breakfast was fantastic, the poached eggs were spot on. The chef could not be more accommodating to my wife’s fussy needs and everything arrived perfect! The area is amazing, with a lovely little traditional pub next door (The Dog Inn) with a fantastic landlady (Elaine). We had stayed in the Kilpeck prior to our stay in the Temple Bar with Gino, which was extremely disappointing considering the review we had read. I know we will be choosing the Temple Bar every time we visit Hereford in the future! Thank you guys for making it such a lovely stay! Paul and June Bellinger (Barry, South Wakes)

Really welcoming village pub. Arrived in the middle of the England/Wales 6 nations match but staff still managed to be attentive and nothing was too much trouble. While the bar was buzzing, there was plenty of space in the restaurant. Beer superbly kept, food great (best sticky toffee pud I've ever had) and room comfy. As advised on their website, some noise does travel through from the bar and outside, but quickly quietened down later on. Hopefully will be back!

Looking for somewhere to eat on our way to Holme Lacy, looked at many options and decided on Temple bar and was not disappointed Surperb bar,dining room,log fire Friendly staff good range of beers & drinks the food was excellent. This is everything a good Pub/Restaurant should be

Excellent meal at reasonable price Good service

Dinner and overnight at the Temple Bar Inn. Enjoyable atmosphere and food. Comfortable room above the bar. Walked up the Black Hill powered by next morning’s breakfast

Attended the new year's eve celebrations, such a lovely place, lots of character, friendly staff and lots of fun, if the buffet was anything to go by then I'm assuming the food on other days can only be good too, entertainment this night was fantastic too, one of the best new year's eves we've ever had!

I have stopped bothering with TripAdvisor reviews but have to say that the cod and chips I had at the Temple this afternoon was the best I have had in years. Truly delicious. Great service too and a nice big side restaurant with plenty of space. I will be back.

Really nice pub food and atmosphere. They even picked us up and took us home free of charge! Couldn’t ask for anything more. Would 100% recommend.

Visited last night as part of a group of 18 for a Christmas meal. Can't fault the food or the service. Everything arrived promptly, well presented and delicious. Thank you to Gino and the team.

Stayed for 2 nights,the service was amazing from geno and Rachel,definitely would stay there again thanks carl ellis.

Fabulous overnight stop, would definitely come back. Dinner was superb.

Enjoyed an evening with old friends in this lovely pub/restaurant on a busy Friday night .The meal was superb and the service fantastic we were not harassed and enjoyed a leisurely night able to catch up .I would definitely recommend this great place .

Visited The Temple Bar on Friday 24/11/23 to meet old friends for a meal. We were warmly welcomed by the staff in the bar where there was a lovely atmosphere and a log fire. We ate in the restaurant from the a la carte menu. Choice was very good and well priced. The food was excellent as was the service from the staff who looked after us all evening. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and I would highly recommend. Keep up the good work.

Family Sunday lunch. Lovely food, good service, nice staff. The crumble was a bit sour and was too big. A smaller portion would've been better, especially after a big main. I can't believe I'm complaining about the size of the pudding, as I love desserts, lol!

Love every thing about the place

Popped in for lunch and had a nice chat with the owner. Easy recommend.

Brought our friends from out of town to have a nice country lunch. We received 3 out of 4 meals, with the 4th meal not arriving until the other 3 were already half way through. The 4th meal wasn’t even warm. There was no apology for the late food. We weren’t checked on to see if the food was ok, when the plates were cleared we weren’t asked if everything was ok, and when the bill was brought over it was “how are we paying for this?”. Such a shame because it’s a lovely pub in a great village, but the service today was just not up to scratch & certainly not reflected in the cost of the food.

My wife and I went for Sunday lunch. What a great experience. We were made to feel very welcome with our dog. Had a quiet table in the bar, which was great. We both had roast beef lunch, which was one of the best we have had in a long time. The beef was tender with two very thick slices. Veg was done to perfection, and the gravy was to die for. We were to full for dessert so we just had ice cream. The price was also very well priced for what we had and weare going back.

The best Sunday Lunch ever. My husband & I had the pork & beef. Both beautiful & highly recommended. We visit weekly with our bulldog Elsie. The staff are always friendly & the owner Gino & his wife the most gentle & kind people. We don’t know them personally but this is the atmosphere they have produced in this beautiful place. It offers b&b too! Thanks Gino & team for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your place weekly.

Just popped in for food on way home, as usual the most friendly staff possible.

Great pub with a friendly welcome from Gino and the team. Beer and food always good, and a lovely environmental to enjoy both.

Fantastic food at reasonable prices with great service in lovely setting. Couldn’t fault it.

Called in today after a long walk around the area, decided to stay for Sunday lunch. Absolutely to die for!! Beef was perfectly cooked, loads on the plate as well as plent of side veg to match. A few beers to match, I could have slept there afterwards! Can’t wait to go back.

First visit. Warm welcoming environment. Table reserved and ready. Really helpful and friendly waitress Donna...nothing was too much trouble. Seamless service throughout our meal. The food was excellent and well presented. Throughly enjoyable experience. Recommended...we'll be back....

Was booked for a surprise weekend away in Herefordshire and the Temple Bar was ideal for us. Lovely pub with a great atmosphere and friendly locals. It’s nice to see a proper country pub thriving and this certainly deserves to do well. Warm welcome, fabulous room and really comfy bed. We didn’t have an evening meal as we had already eaten but the menu looked lovely. The breakfast was fantastic, made with local produce of a really high quality. Price was very reasonable for a one night stay

Perhaps it was the warm and sunny evening, but the bar had a great atmosphere when I arrived around 6ish to be promptly shown to a very well appointed, clean and charming room by a warm and friendly member of the team. The food was good, with perhaps a little over seasoning on the burger but the breakfast in the morning was superb and set me up nicely for my onward travels. Overall, a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

Wow, what a lovely pub. The staff are great and friendly and the food was superb. If you're in the area, the family and I highly recommend 😀

Lovely atmosphere in this friendly, local pub. We were made to feel very welcome even though we arrived with 9 rowdy boys in tow! Pre ordered food for 19 of us which all arrived hot at the same time, all delicious, everyone very happy. Staff were very friendly and attentive as well as patient with the kids. Would definitely recommend and all 5 families are planning on a return trip! Thanku!

Excellent overnight stay ,pity it wasn't longer. Exceedingly well fed at both dinner and breakfast, drink excellent as was the company, both 2 legged and 4. A much enjoyed stay. Thank you Gino and Rachel.

We has a really great Saturday dinner at the Temple. Super friendly staff, excellent menu, Covid safe, and good wine and beers......BRAVO and thank you....we'll be back...

Lovely Sunday lunch with all the trimmings and a nice bottle of wine , great relaxed atmosphere , lots of spacing with a covered marquee area. 7 of us booked in over 2 tables well looked after by the staff , will be back

We were holidaying as 2 couples with 2 dogs in the area. Temple Bar Inn was recommended by our accommodation owner for a dog friendly Sunday lunch. We walked into a very friendly, welcoming pub. Sunday lunch was wonderful, Nonna's peas were a real treat!!! We would definitely revisit and highly recommend.

My wife and I had a bank holiday weekend away with our daughter and her husband to go walking in the Brecon Beacons and stayed for three nights at the Temple Bar. We had a fantastic stay, the rooms are very clean with plenty of space, comfortable beds and very good en suite facilities. Gino and Rachael (and Bella) are brilliant hosts and they have wonderful staff who looked after us really well. The pub was lively in the evening with a friendly atmosphere and not at all noisy in the rooms at bedtime. We ate at the pub for two of the evenings, the food was excellent. They even saved us some roast Sunday lunch to eat in the evening (not many places open on a Sunday evening in those parts) and it was delicious. Breakfasts were also excellent with lovely coffee. Fantastic value, we will be back!

I last drank in this village pub 39 years ago, having then moved from the area. As we were visiting we thought we would call in to see how it had changed. It was a fantastic idea. We decided to have the lunchtime special and certainly weren't disappointed. The pub was very well managed, in these times of coronavirus. The staff were extremely pleasant and the whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable. The choice of beers is more than sufficient for the average pub goer. Although we visited on a"specials" lunchtime there is quite an extensive menu which I'm sure would meet most tastes. Now that I have revisited I shall make a point of calling back again to sample the other menu choices and for a bit of nostalgia. Well done to the management and staff.

Burger night Excellent burger great home made tomato sauce e with ? Cumin ? Family meal with attentive maitre d’

Had the chicken caesar salad for lunch and thought it was the best i have ever tasted. Great food, excellent welcome and felt really safe. Good job, thank you

Lovely socially distanced lunch in great surroundings, under new ownership and better than ever. Thank you Gino.

Wonderful pub, dropped in on the off chance for lunch. Food was lovely and pub has a charming and inviting feel. Staff great, pity our young waitress couldn’t raise a smile though despite our efforts to engage her.

We visited The Temple Bar a couple of times-we were staying close by found the food & service to be very good- a nice clean friendly place- very enjoyable.

Went for Sunday lunch with friends, the service and food was excellent and the atmosphere was warm, friendly and relaxing.

We came for Sunday lunch today as a treat for my birthday and sadly have been really disappointed. We have heard so many good things about this pub and the food so had been really looking forward to coming to try it out. Just before we came we had heard it changed hands but were hoping it would still be up to the same standard. Well sadly it was not.I had Brie wedges to start which were lovely and my partner had the black pudding starter which was fine. We both had beef for mains and when it came out it looked over cooked, no pink at all and over a third of it was just fat. The veg followed on a separate board and looked a bit sad, cabbage and purple sprouting was overcooked, peas in an overpowering tomato and garlic sauce, and cauliflower cheese but with only a small blob of sauce placed on the top. We plated up our veg and by the time we started tucking in it was all lukewarm. The roast potatoes were lovely and we ate the meat that wasn’t just pure fat but that was it. There was also a piece of string on my plate which I understand the beef is wrapped in but shouldn’t have really been on my plate. When the waitress came over to clear us, she remarked that my partner hadn’t cleared his plate and that it must be because he’s full. I said actually it was all quite cold, the meat was fatty and there was a piece of string on my plate. She said well the rest tasted ok didn't it? To which we said yes, and she said well the food goes cold because of these plates and the string is just off the beef. No apology at all which was a real shame because I’m not one to cause a fuss or ask for special treatment but I felt we at least deserved a sorry. No discount was offered either. We didn’t stay for pudding as we had been so disappointed by the food so far. We definitely won’t be returning again and would not recommend this pub for Sunday lunch. One to avoid.

Excellent food, open fire, with plenty of outside space. Staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Cannot recommend enough.

Very welcoming when we turned up for a late Sunday lunch. Enjoyed our roast dinners very much. Better than average and good value too.

This pub also does bar meals in the early evening, but we opted for their restaurant menu. A shared starter of salted squid was perfectly cooked and came with a delicious freshly made dip. Monkfish tail curry and confit of lamb shoulder were both perfectly cooked and flavoured. The quince crumble was appropriately tart which highlighted the sweetness of the almonds in the topping and the lemon posset was topped with a summer fruit compote. The chef should be commended for her balances of flavours and very well executed cookery. Lovely service too.

Excellent food and friendly service would highly recommend. Menu changes frequently and all cooked fresh to order.

Excellent meal and very friendly staff. So good to find somewhere where all the food is cooked from fresh, well worth the wait. Would definitely come back again if in the area.

Lovely lunch before a walk around the common. Food and service were excellent. Good, local food, cooked to order so it takes a little longer, but was well worth the wait. All three of us left well satisfied. Will definitely return and recommend!

We had a lovely meal here while on our holiday in the local area. 4 of us had steaks and 1 had the sticky pork belly. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and the two coeliacs in the group were accommodated with gluten free meals, although we were a bit disappointed with the sliced bread while the others had homemade rolls. But a delicious meal nonetheless, keep room for pudding!

I quite enjoyed my meal of corn fritters. They were average, which I was fine with. Service was friendly and reasonably prompt. Others in my party were happy enough with their meals and we all had different things. Altogether, a pleasant but average experience

We had a really lovely meal this evening at The Temple Bar. The food was superb, the restaurant lovely and the service absolutely first class. My wife has both a gluten intolerance and a dairy intolerance and the main courses available coped with this easily and the chef was kind enough to provide a one-off sweet that she could eat and enjoy.

My partner and I were craving steak and chips so popped in for a couple of rib eyes which we know are sourced locally. Beautiful, juicy tender steaks with a melting red wine butter and hand cut chips which were delicious. Wasn't planning to have pudding but couldn't resist so both had banana fritters with toffee sauce. Great service in a friendly welcoming local. Thank you

Tasty food was served to our table of 4. Unfortunately that was the only enjoyable part of the evening with the room having no atmosphere and the elderly waitress was rude.

Thank you for an excellent Sunday lunch....great staff, very welcoming, good food and interesting wine list....what's not to like......we'll be back again..

Another stunning meal at my favourite eating place. When we visit here, we each find it hard to choose, because the food is exceptional. I settled on filing feta parcels with a chilli and ginger syrup, a beautiful fillet of gilt head bream with leek and potato mash and a red pepper sauce, and a lemon and passion fruit posset. I love cooking, but I can't cook like this. Thank you. We will be back again soon!

I visited here today and I absolutely loved the food. I had the fillet steak and profiteroles which was delicious. The service was brilliant and the icing on the cake was the complimentary truffle at the end of the meal. Thank you for such a lovey supper!

Pochi coperti, menu stagionale, buon servizio. Ingredienti di qualità e buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. Una sosta soddisfacente.

Good service and local real ales. Very comfortable and calm local pub. Beautiful village position with nice walks nearby.

Warm welcome on arrival.Fabulous Sunday lunch in a relaxed atmosphere,lovely staff. Thank you very much

Dined here on a Thursday night, needed to book on advance. The restaurant is not too big, so the service was really good. Our waitress was lovely, really friendly. Although the menu is limited there was a vegetarian and fish option. We had a crab and a chicken terrine to start, lovely. For my main I had the ribeye steak, my wife had Torbay sole. Only complaint was that the sole was difficult to identify the bones! Not a fan of triple cooked chips, can sometimes be too crispy! Desserts were lovely, we both had rice pudding, amazing! Price of meal including a glass of wine each and sparkling water- £76. Good value I think.

Great atmosphere, great little place with top quality food and staff.The menu is not extensive but covers all bases for all, including vegetarians and coeliacs. Everything is locally sourced where possible and the food is prepared to order.

Since I last put a review for the Temple Bar in January 2016 we have visited several more times, always for lunch on Sunday, and with different people each time unless it was just our nuclear family. It has been consistently, impressively good. As a non meat eater I am often torn between the fish and the vegetarian option. Review based on most recent visit.

Nice place to meet up with friends with an open fire and a cosy atmosphere, locals with pet dogs sitting in sofas and then another small area with a big tv screen on the wall. There is a only one small bar and an adjacent open plan room to the pool table with original stone floor. Loos are nicely done and newly refurbished. Home made food is nice just got a bit fed up wafting away fruit flies the entire time my only hangup. WiFi is available too. Small garden with 3 or 4 tables on a grassed area and a smoking shelter at the side of the pub.

6 of us had a meal here last Saturday night. Whilst the restaurant was quiet, about 4 tables occupied while we were there, the bar was full. The service and food we had was lovely. There is only a small menu as the blackboard explains, but we would rather have a fresh home cooked food menu than an extensive obviously microwaved one. There was something that appealed to all of our party. The food was well cooked and filling, sadly leaving no room for puds. However we did manage the chocolate truffles brought out, even though we didn’t order coffee. The lady waiting on told us a bit about the area, and good places to visit.

A friend decided to treat me to a meal in the Hereford village of Ewyas Harold at the local pub. The lunchtime menu is light meals/snacks priding themselves on using locally, produced,seasonal produce, freshly prepared to order. I had the sandwich of the day, tuna melt with a side order of homemade chips. Delicious! My friend had the smoked salmon & scrambled egg on half a toasted muffin , which she thoroughly enjoyed. The meal was in the pleasant, slightly more formal, restaurant but could have eaten in the less formal bar, both rooms were welcoming and relaxing.The service was friendly and efficient and we shared an unusual and scrummy, dessert of quince parfait made from the owner's own fruit orchard. As an impromptu stop we had a lovely, relaxed meal in pleasant surroundings and it was very reasonably priced.

Called in with friends for a light lunch. Soup was really good as were the desserts. Reasonable choice of beers.

We came to the Temple Bar for lunch on a Saturday, after a brisk walk to whet the appetite, and we weren't disappointed.

We were four for Sunday lunch where hitherto we have enjoyed good food and friendly service. We have taken a number of friends there in recent times. My wife and I ordered a leek terrine and goats cheese starter, intrigued to see what it would be like. What arrived was an inch high stack of leeks arranged Stonehenge style with a slice of cheese on top, torched and some dots of jus around the edge of the plate with a few small leaves. If the presentation was uninspiring, the taste was almost non existent except for the cheese. My wife ate the cheese and left the rest but I rejected the dish and asked for something else. Another member of staff then came to the table and said that they had never had a complaint about the dish before and that it was a Michel Roux Jnr. recipe. I said I was surprised on grounds of presentation alone. When the bill arrived I had been charged for the two leek dishes and my alternative. I said that I had not expected to pay for my dish I was told that they do not give refunds "just because someone doesn't like the food" I said I was not happy about paying and the poor member of staff was left floundering between me and the kitchen. Nobody in authority came to talk to me. Eventually, a deduction was made from the bill but I noticed afterwards that it wasn't for the full price of the dish. I subsequently looked up the recipe and, as I had suspected, they had served a pale imitation of the real thing with some ingredients missing altogether and a different presentation. I sent an Email to the proprietor and received a very bland response but acknowledging that they had served their variation of the recipe. I was particularly disappointed that they were prepared to treat a regular customer in this offhand fashion.For a good example of how to handle a complaint about food, see my review of Twr Y Felin.

Always enjoy the temple bar if we're visiting Ewyas Harold. Great tasting food and great tasting ales! Always fresh and the staff are great! Can cater for large groups also! Highly recommend!
