The Cider Orchard Restaurant in Herefordshire, County of

My friend always raved about the fab college restaurant and after having lunch with her today here I can see certainly see why. We had the most fantastic meal with beautiful cooked and presented food . Seafood Chowder was mouth wateringly good and my desert of Marmalade sponge pudding with Cointreau custard was wow ! . Fabulous service from Adam who answered all our questions he was friendly and professional . Thank you The Cider Orchard restaurant we will be back for sure .

Excellent in every way - lunch was cooked and presented beautifully. The catering standard would put a lot of high class establishments to shame. The service was also impressive from Paul, who took our requests for slight tweaks to the menu in his stride and with great humour.

Where to start? Without doubt the best meal I've had out in a long time. Can't normally afford fine dining of this standard. From the canapes to the desert it was spectacular. My highpoint... the beetroot macaroon (I don't like beetroot, but loved this) through the phenomenal Beef Carpaccio and delicious lamb, to end with a beautiful Rhubarb Mille-Feuille. Not to forget the service which was peerless. Thank you.

This is a great dinning experience and truly is a life hack as it represents great value for money and supports local colleague/ students on their course. The service was top class and the food was amazing. We will be going back!

What another fantastic evening . The food and service was excellent. The food was so well presented and very tasty. The drinks were also excellent value with a loving bottle of Malbec only £14. I am only sorry we did not get to find out out our servers names to personally thank them and mention them in this review. Will we be going again - you bet we will . Thank you everyone involved.

Had a wonderful Christmas lunch. Turkey with all the trimmings, beautiful bread. Christmas tart. Mince pie and a pot of tea! An absolute feast which was cooked to perfection. The service was spot on. Everyone was friendly and polite. Well done guys. I look forward to next year.

The food was fabulous. Cooked by a mix of students of just a few weeks and 3rd years. High end restaurant presentation and quality. Beautifully flavoured and seasoned. Served by the new students who had clearly been well trained, though some were a little nervous they did really well. Added bonus was the bar, which I wasn't expecting. Comfortable seating.

Move over Jamie Oliver, Tom Kerridge and Marco Piere White there is a Hereford student coming through. Presenting fabulous cooked food by professional waiting staff this is a delight. Must be experienced.

Wonderful food. Excellent quality and presentation. Service variable, dependant on the student serving. The restaurant is having a makeover in the summer of 23.

Came in with a colleague for lunch. Amazing food, just the right amount. Scarlett our waitress was fantastic. Kian the barman should be less nervous but still very polite and attentive. Bearing in mind that they all students.

We visited the Cider Orchard restaurant for a four course meal. The restaurant is run by student trainee chefs. The food was fabulous, the balance was perfect for the palette, fresh and presented beautifully. Everything seasoned to perfection! I am a qualified and experienced chef and there was nothing for me to critique, the food and service were truly wonderful! The teaching staff/chefs are doing an amazing job with the students to achieve excellence in the wonderful hospitality industry, through experience with strong positive leadership, great direction, kindness and encouragement!

So impressed with the whole experience. Dined here this evening with friends and thoroughly enjoyed not only the food but the service. Every course was delicious and our waiter Ollie was very helpful and attentive. Will definitely return very soon.

Wow ! My wife and i went for lunch today would highly recommend .We had 3 courses for £15 each this is extremely good value. Although we booked for 12-30 it was not necessary as there was plenty of room. There is a very good choice of food perfectly cooked. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Went for the first time with friends. We were met at the entrance and escorted to a table for our drinks until everyone was there. We were then shown to our table. Very smartly laid out. Food was delicious. Good selection. Staff were smartly dressed and attentive without being intrusive. Very impressed. Will be back again.

This is a lovely place to go to dinner and lunch. Wednesday evening was really nice. Our lovely waiter was Kyle a very pleasant young man. We started with a cocktail and canapes and then thoroughly enjoyed our 3 course dinner and finishing with coffees and petit fours. Excellent food and excellent value.

Good food. Great service. We went here as part of a group booking for a meal. As well as the three courses we paid for, there were some amuse bouches and petit fours along with tea and coffee. The food was, overall, excellent with some interesting tweaks. Everything was cooked well, and portions were on the nicely large size. Drink is very well priced - they are obviously not trying to make much of a profit from the place. All the students were good, but a special mention goes to Kyle, who was attentive and dealt with all of our questions, even down to providing a written ingredients list as to what went into the wonderful little dots of red sauce with one of the puddings. Be prepared for staggered service though - I assume that there is some form of rotation of students that goes on in the kitchens, and this means that although individual tables do all get served at the same time, group bookings like ours will find that different tables will be on dufferent courses at different times. Overall, a great experience and we wish all the students well in their endeavours.

What a lovely little gem. Students learning how to cook and front of house service. They provide a lovely meal, beautifully presented,on a wide menu and it was great. Would highly recomend the place but you need to book.

Absolutely fabulous food and excellent service from the young trainee staff. Perfectly cooked and exquisitely presented delicious culinary delights. Waitress was very professional with just the right amount of friendliness. Well done all will definitely be back.

Good choice of menu, we pre ordered approx 14 of us , Table arranged lovely. Service excellent at the bar and table service. I opted for Salmon starter lots of delicious flavours, Main course Risotto Butternut Squash not lots of flavour but very enjoyable, Desert Cheesecake wonderful flavours all courses beautifully presented .Had to leave before coffee and mince pies. Service, food and atmosphere perfect. Well Done . This restaurant offers a professional dining experience would recommend. Thank you

Just got back from an evening meal with friends. Fabulous food. 3 courses plus extras for £20. The food was very tasty and very well presented. Well done to the students working, you have done yourselves proud. Will definitely return. The Christmas menu also looks great.

We went for lunch at the Cider Orchard today with friends for the first time ,and will certainly be returning.The food was as good as any I have tasted when eating out.The students were polite and attentive.Some still need a little improvement, ie serving the ladies first and serving from the left but we all have to learn.Well Done All

Simply put... if you live in Hereford or are visiting our great City you must visit this restaurant!!!!!Check the Herefordshire College website for opening times and menus.The service and food we had was exceptional!Xena was our waitress and she is a credit to the College!For £20 ahead for 3 courses with coffee and Petit Fours, also complementary nibbles.

Why this place isn't packed every time it's open is both a mystery and a blessing.If you're after great quality at affordable prices then this is the place for you.The service can be a bit 'interesting' but that's because those serving are learning.We've recently had dinner and lunch and it's difficult to find fault with the food.

Returned as promised. Food a lot better and polite staff. Pork this time rather than beef. Well cooked and presented. Waiter in charge was good but others stood around watching her cope with the 20 of us!!

El restaurante es una oportunidad de capacitación para estudiantes. catering El menú se cambia mensualmente o media termly. Tienen martes y viernes almuerzo o mesas de noche wed. Los precios son increíbles y la comida, aunque no es cierto, está bien preparado, presentado y sabe muy bien. Este mes un abadejo ahumado con queso de paquetería y una tarta topper juegos con verduras crujientes y un invierno encantador berry tonto sólo más de £9.

This is probably the best place you will experience top class food and service in Hereford.The lecturers do a brilliant job training youngsters for a career in Hospitality and Catering.We had the Christmas lunch menu. All courses and service really good. Would highly recommend.

Cuenta este es un restaurante de capacitación y han ido a otros antes. Personal amable y atento y muy variado de espera. Tom muy buena e interactuaba bien, sonrió y usó su iniciativa. Charlotte parecía nerviosa y agrio con personas no grosero, no cómo usted espera ser atendido. Lleno de agua, etc., sin necesidad de pedir y la comida y los platos calientes y sirve eficientemente. Tuve carne asada que, aunque sabía muy bien, era muy difícil de administrar varias personas incapaces. Pizcas de postre era Vacherin increíblemente bueno! Puede haber sido mala suerte con opción de carne como el pato era disfrutar como era pescado por otros en el grupo. Restaurante lleno y los precios de buena relación calidad-precio. Intentaremos aquí Ya hemos estado en otros lugares como este y ha sido muy impresionado.

Hemos comido aquí como media docena de veces ahora, tanto en el almuerzo y en la noche. Cada vez que hemos tenido una excelente comida a precios increíblemente bajos.

Fuimos al sidra Orchard Restaurante como parte de un grupo grande. Los estudiantes era amable, atento y servicial. El menú era amplia y la comida está bien preparada y sabrosa. Teniendo en cuenta estas son jóvenes que están aprendiendo su comercio, están bien en el camino de convertirse en primera clase anfitriones. Todo bien hecho por una muy buena noche. Volveremos.

Esta no era la primera vez que hemos tenido el placer de comer en el restaurante sidra Orchard (ni será el último!) tuve el

Al haber comido en otras dos universidades, esperaba algo mejor. El restaurante estaba lleno y no bienvenidos y no aparecen hasta la mesa. Canapés pobre. La carne estaba dura y prácticamente incomible. Postre fue la mejor parte de una muy mala comida. Difícil atraer un camarero para servir bebidas, en general el servicio no era bueno.

This is a catering college with young people learning on the job. We like it because the food changes each month or so. Very good value at £9 for 3 courses.

Llamamos aquí para un pre-almuerzo reservado y al principio estábamos lista como la sidra Orchard comparte un comedor con el personal del colegio cantina y allí nadie para recibirnos y directamente a nuestra mesa. Todo era Una vez sentado era de primera. El menú tenía...

Comimos aquí 4 ó 5 veces al año, y es tan buena relación calidad-precio. Pero más que eso es siempre una experiencia encantadora. Los estudiantes están genial, la comida es excelente y el ambiente es muy bueno.

I have been here twice recently for lunch and been very impressed. The food is very good...beautifully presented and well prepared. The menu is imaginative and varied...I have had goat cheese pannacotta and prawn samosa with chick pea dhal as starters, and hake and rack of lamb for mains. My desserts were a delicious chocolate mousse and a peach Melba. With three courses for £9 or two courses for £7.50, as well as reasonably priced drinks, this is really incredible value for money and a really enjoyable lunch experience . We'll done to the students...they are doing a fantastic job, and also great credit is due to their tutor, Stuart Leggett I believe.

What a gem!!! This is the training restaurant for the city's FE college. The service and food are exemplary. 3 courses of restaurant standard food for £9! Today's menu included local asparagus, a mushroom tart and to die for chocolate mousse.Drinks were also very reasonable. Admittedly, the students are quite nervous but are all perfectly pleasant and polite.I would suggest that you ring to reserve a table as it is term time only. Open 4 lunchtimes during the week and some Wednesday evenings.looking forward to another visit in the near future.

If we could eat here every day we would ! My husband and I are very regular visitors to what we consider to be not just our favourite restaurant in Hereford but our favourite restaurant anywhere ! Unlike many other establishments you are always made to feel so welcome. The students work very hard and are always excited and passionate about the food they have prepared or are serving. They have a fantastic team behind them, both front of house with Stuart Cottrell and Zoe McDonald and in the kitchen with the amazingly talented Stuart Leggett. I am sure this team has everything to do with the consistent results they achieve and the obvious happiness in their students. The food and service is always of the highest standard and nothing is too much trouble. The menus are creative and sumptuous and every course feels as if it has been prepared with love and pride. We are very fortunate to have this gem on our doorstep and cannot wait for our next visit for what we know will be a wonderful five course dinner on Wednesday... We just wish all restaurants could provide the level of service and quality of innovatively prepared ingredients that the Cider Orchard Restaurant does !
