The Crown in Herefordshire, County of

We stayed in the accommodation at the back of the pub. Family weekend away, the accommodation was fantastic and suited our needs perfectly. The owners of the property and pub/staff who worked in the pub were very warm and welcoming. We ordered pizza and kebabs for dinner on our first night and a Sunday Roast, both were delivered to eat in our dining room. Food was delicious, plenty of it and it was piping hot. We enjoyed a pint outside the pub following a long walk, great pint and good atmosphere. Thanks to the team at The Crown

Lovely pub in a beautiful location, Staff friendly and professional. Food was great even the takeaway very good value for money

The perfect English pub! This secluded place in the centre of the Woolhope Dome is in a unique location, too, as geologists and geographers will appreciate. The food and the service were friendly and excellent. The atmosphere inside is the epitome of the classic English pub. The views from the front are lovely. Approach it from the west on the narrow road over the hills and through the fairy-tale-like Haugh Wood. The Crown Inn and Woolhope are worth a trip to visit their own right.

Celebrated with family for a meal, we were all looked after so well, attentive staff and a great selection of drinks enjoyed outside in the gardens before moving in and having a delicious meal, kids had pizzas, I had the belly pork which came with new potatoes, local organic leaves and 2 beautiful salads, I also had the padron peppers ( cooked perfectly) and cajon spiced corn on the Cobb. Couldn't fault at all. We questioned the bill at the end because we expected it to be more, one of my favourite eateries in Herefordshire. Excellent menu, perfectly cooked and served by lovely staff. 10/10

Meat was inedible and then charged 10% on top Half out party didn’t get veg in their table The service was slow and the food was poor

Great atmosphere. Great staff. Amazing food. A pub full of locals, celebrating their local syndicate horse winning a race and re-playing the last race. Wonderful to witness. Thank you so much for being so welcoming and catering to us.

WOW, WOW, WOW - stayed in the accommodation for a 50th/hen weekend and it was utterly perfect in every way. Furnishings have been updated since the photographs on booking page and it made it perfect for us all as a group. The quality of the linen, mattresses, TV (sky glass), every glass type…. It goes on. We loved it. We’d arranged for pizzas on the Saturday evening, which they brought round to us (they were lovely), we pre-ordered Sunday lunch, which again was delivered to us in the accommodation (again delicious) and they really couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you so, so much for looking after us so well. It was the best…

Visited while we were doing the Woolhope circular walk and had Sunday lunch. Honestly the best pub Sunday roast I've ever had and we've had a fair few of those. Great views from the garden and a decent selection of local drinks. The service was excellent. Really nice people. I definitely recommend this place.

Excellent food, outstanding service & friendly locals. We’d been out walking which gave need of a hearty lunch & a warm fire. That’s exactly what we got & we didn’t want to leave! Ross who served us was the perfect host. It’s one of the best places I’ve been to in a long while.

Sunday Roast Beef is excellent, best yorkshires in ages! Malbec was great temperature, service is great & cider is fab!

A very welcoming atmosphere. Lovely waitress, very polite & helpful. A nice selection of pub food & good quality.. Very reasonable prices. Although a traditional village pub, we were made to feel very welcome and were able to book our table quickly & easily beforehand. Highly recommended.

Popped in for a quick supper with friends .. we chose the cod with leaks and a wonderful sauce .. it was fantastic, fresh and fragrant.

Dropped in as we had to be in the area - Lovely warm bar with great selection to choose from, My wife then had the chicken wings whilst I went Chicken Tikka both full of flavour. We then chose a chicken curry and a crispy beef again beautifully cooked and piping hot. We both commented that it had been the best pub grub we had had for sometime and that its a pity we didnt live closer.

We visited the Crown for drinks both before (briefly) and after (more leisurely) our tour cricket match against Woolhope last Saturday. The staff exemplified what customer service in a pub should be about. An excellent range of well-kept beers, lagers and ciders served swiftly and cheerily and at a reasonable price. We were made to feel extremely welcome, so much so that rather than return to our Hereford base early in the evening, we stayed until well after dark. We were even given grub as Woolhope CC's visitors, no doubt both to satisfy our hunger and to encourage us to imbibe further into the evening. It's not rocket science, this pub business ! Other groups there for the evening looked to be equally enjoying themselves; we'll be back there for sure when we return for next year's tour. Thank you The Crown !

Just got back from Saturday supper at the Crown .. We sat outside enjoying the glorious views and the sunshine .: We were served promptly and with the most delicious food I have had for ages . There were 5 of us eating and we all had different things but they were all wonderful! Well done to the team at the Crown!!

Visited the pub in late may. Food was fantastic. Had a lovely American (pepperoni) pizza. Staff were lovely and friendly with a touch of banter. Barman Ross was a laugh and brightened our meal. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice meal or evening out.

Very disappointed Sunday lunch Roast beef and Yorkshire served with burnt vegetables strong burnt taste not a dish I’d repeat or visit again. Expensive £21 a much better lunch down the road for £13.95?

Worst Sunday dinner ever! Service awful - waited 1.5 hrs to be told issue in the kitchen! Meal cold, roast beef meat went to the dog & the seasonal veg was a bowl of shredded cabbage and courgette! Asked for napkins ~ told they hadn’t got any! Took family who were keen to visit as they went years ago and loved it but it was embarrassingly terrible and won’t be going again.

Lovely pub, very friendly staff. Delicious food - I had yummy fish n chips (huge portion) and hubby had halibut (excellent) from specials board. Busy Saturday night but we were well looked after.

Such a disappointing experience. Really had high hopes for this country pub but it was such a let down. The male manager had such a patronising and fake attitude. The food was ridiculously overpriced for what we received; I cook better at home.

Worst experience at a pub I've had. The manager was extremely rude and condescending and argued with my friend. He had a very uncaring attitude. The food was poor and overpriced and service was terrible. Staff were very unfriendly. Don't waste your money at this place. I will be telling everyone I know to avoid it.

Wonderful village local (I wish it was my local). Wife & I had a Sunday afternoon lunch. Food good - beer good - garden lovely - weather perfect - service good & the price reasonable by current standards. Recommended.

This is just a great village pub-Its a welcoming place with huge seating area outside Food is what it says it is on the menu ( soufflet was excellent ) Service was good Prices = good value Beer = good choice Reccommend visit esp in Summer

A great pub in beautiful location. The food was absolutely superb. We had stonebass with wild garlic broth,not something every pub can manage!

We took friends out for dinner at the Crown Inn. The setting is lovely and the food recommended. Sadly the service was very poor - we had to ask for a menu, adk to have our orders taken and ask to be served more drinks....

Couldn’t fault the lively atmosphere reflective of an obviously popular place to eat and drink in this lovely village in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside. Matt and Annelise made us very welcome and the Seabass - one of the day’s specials - was superb...

A lovely friendly country put with a very good menu and reasonable prices. I have seen some reviews that were not too happy with the service; this has not been our experience. We visit about once a month or so and have never been dissappointed.

Wow!! We booked in for Sunday roast dinner, the food was amazing we both had beef that melted in your mouth and crispy roast potatoes, shredded vegetables, yummy parsnips, large Yorkshire pudding, so tasty i finished off with the sticky toffee pudding, staff were really...

We stopped in this Sunday for a fab dinner. Roast pork and beef came in abundance, and was divine! ( cracking crackling!) was a lovely end to a soggy day as a family get together with my aging parents and sister from Scotland. Thank you...

Relaxed surroundings and ambience made for an excellent impromptu family meal. With a baby, child, two dogs , special dietary requirements and a wheelchair user we were a challenging bunch but we’re accommodated with aplomb by the hosts and their team. We nearly all ordered...

The weather forecast was set for wall-to-wall sunshine. Just the day for a nice country walk and Sunday lunch in a village pub - but where? Then I remembered that before Covid, I had eaten Sunday lunch at The Crown, Woolhope, Herefordshire. One of the...

We have just left after an absolutely wonderful New Years stay at The Crown. Matt and Annalisa are great hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. As well as enjoying the accommodation we had an absolutely delicious meal in the adjoining Crown on New Years...

I usually go there for drinks and sometimes get pizza, I cant complain about either. Great view from the decking they have installed.

Hey, this is a splendidn pub, friendly staff, great beers, well peprared and home made food and excellent ambience......nice one!

The Food is excellent and varied.There is even a traditional pizzeria.The Sunday lunch is reasonably priced and to be recomended.The local real ales are a delight,eclipsed only by the cider,as one might expect in Herefordshire.

Ordered takeaway fish and chips as we could not be bothered to go out and when the fish and chips arrived I opened the box and the batter on the fish was a horrible dark brown colour indicating it had eother been cooked far too...

Well, on Wednesday it took the pub over 1 h for a simple order on one pizza and a portion of fries. Clearly they are not coping, maybe they need more staff?

The Crown is a lovely place to eat …great food …had a Sunday Lunch …. a couple of the staff weren’t very happy which was noted by a few customers which was the only let down of a rather enjoyable experience …7/10

Off the beaten track, very very enjoyable meal, friendly staff…. Very extensive menu. Our second visit in as many weeks, It’s a good area for walkers too.

Wonderful wood fired pizza and nachos! What’s not to like ! Friendly service in a charming and traditional country pub. Will definitely be returning.

We battled the weather to find comfort at the Crown and we were not disappointed.. wonderful Kings cider brewed on site ..local roast beef and all the trimmings.. and an afternoon of great service in a cosy relaxed Setting . Our only regret Was having...

Outstanding Sunday lunch, for a large group (14) including small children. The landlord and team couldn’t have been more helpful. Highlights include the rhubarb cider, roast beef, fish & chips and the horseradish sauce, which is a ‘wow’ in every sense of the word! I’d...

I visit this pub fairly regularly with friends. Matt and the team are always very welcoming and the service is fantastic. Highly recommend everything on the menu, as we have tried pretry much all of it! The food is excellent quality and they clearly do...

We had a glorious Sunday Lunch washed down with amazing Kings (landlords artisan) cider overlooking one of the most glorious vistas in the shire .. what’s Not to love??

Quite tasty but disappointing lunch. For £17 I would have expected a lot more than 1 thin slice of beef. At the price thought it bad to have to pay an extra £4 for cauliflower cheese too. Beer was very good though.

My son and I went to the above pub for Sunday lunch on September 5th 2021. Having been there twice before and was satisfied with the meal I decided to return. Unfortunately nowhere near as good as the previous two visits, the portions of vegetables...

Excellent revitalising food stop after leg 2 of the 3 Choirs way. Very accommodating after we had to call ahead due to being late on our walk. Huge portion of fish and chips!! Would be good to have one or two more vegetarian options. Prompt...

We ate here with friends, recently. Nice area, looked busy outside, outdoor pizza area cooking pizza’s from scratch. Looked popular. Ate indoors, not so busy, staff attentive and friendly. Menu quite limited and mainly fried food, lacked variety, no vegetables or authentic choices. Our orders...

Just had an excellent meal with superb friendly staff that were only to obliging to help. Would highly recommend if visiting the area. Many thanks to all the staff for a very pleasant evening and wonderful food We will be back !!

Lovely evening meal. Lots of pizza’s had, along with Roast Dinners and Fish & Chips. Very tasty. Great service and very friendly from Matt and his staff.

After waiting 1/2 to be told what we had ordered wasnt actually available even though it was on the menu and order had been taken the food arrived an hour after we had ordered very dissapointed and what can only be described at a bowl...

After not having visited this place for years, we went back this afternoon. This was one of our favourite pubs ever... not any more. The service was sluggish.. even with the pub was only a quarter full! The food we ordered was plain and the...

Food was good but the service was terrible, sat outside for 30 waiting for service, staff pleasant, after the meal waited another 25 minutes to pay, I don't think we will be going back.

This was my first visit to this pub and if in the area again I would not return. LACK OFCOVID measures in place - staff not wearing face masks, no track and trace on arrival, could order a drink from the bar. They did have...

We know the Crown Inn can be great - we have visited before on several occasions and the team absolutely nailed it. With lockdown rules relaxing we returned again in June hopeful of the same. As we pulled up to the pub we had high...

Unfortunately we did not have the experience that we have had before. No warm welcoming, no customer service, checking if the food was ok etc. Waiting 15 minutes for plates to be cleared even though it was quiet. Over priced. Masks weren’t worn and we...

Well. My 2nd review of the Crown Inn, Woolhope’s Takeaway food and this may just top the last. As with my last visit, Father and I stopped in for a couple of early evening ales before heading home for supper. After enjoying the buzzy atmosphere...

Unfortunately, this was our only visit this year!! The experience was every bit as good as previous visits with ambience, service, food, drink all excellent. Using a Travelzoo voucher made this exceptional value. Will definitely return. Will also make more of a day of it...

Well run and first class accommodation. We decided to let them feed us - great decision. Relaxing time either in the large garden or in the pub with their own fantastic cider. Friendly atmosphere - highly recommend.

My Father and I frequent The Crown Inn often. Tonight we were passing later than usual (8:30pm) and decided to stop for a light beer en route home. Realising Mother was out, we needed to fend for ourselves food-wise. Fortunately the kitchen was still open...

Besides being able to eat here they also have very nice accommodations,we stayed here for 3 nights, there were 12 of us in our party ages from 5 to 70,the rooms are all beautifully done out as are the bath and shower rooms,the bedrooms have...

First meal out ofter lockdown and what an amazing place. Matthew, our host has done an exceptional job considering current issues. The drinks were clean and crisp, especially his cider. The food was also amazing. We could not fault it. Our kids loved the openness...

Cracking food. The kings draught cider is a must and washed down the game faggots nicely They prepped well for the new norm and everyone was made to feel very welcome.

Visited for an evening meal and found that builders had partitioned off part of the Bar area. Served an excellent in house brewed cider - do try it. Ordered our food that arrived within minutes. The soup was quite well flavoured and a generous quantity....

Very disappointed with the Sunday lunch, beef was OK although barley warm, veg a disappointment dried out, no extra gravy, service poor desserts OK, won't be going back.

We had Christmas Dinner at The Crown and, once again, it was sensational. The food offering was delicious, the selection of beer and cider was extensive, and the welcome was warm for Matt and his wonderful team. We always look forward to heading back!

We went to this pub for an early evening meal on Sunday, and had 4 Sunday roast dinners. My husband had the partridge which he was pleased with. The rest of our party had the pork which was undercooked (I would say raw) and cold....

We booked for Sunday lunch after reading some of the good reviews and seeing on their website that it had won awards for the food. Upon arrival we waited to be seated when we were finally acknowledged we were pointed to a cramped little cubby...

We visited here on New Years Eve with a last minute booking they managed to squeeze us in. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. The food is fantastic it was my first time eating dinner there and i couldn't fault it. I would highly recommend trying the steak! Its a great spot for summer lunches and cosy winter evenings! A thank you to the great staff, keep up the good work!

We are relatively local (4 miles) The Crown is a great pub to have near by. A cosy traditional pub with open fires and a warm welcome from Matt the landlord and his very friendly and efficient staff. Sunday lunch is a treat, the sirloin oif beef was absolutely delicious and I do like the way the seasonal veg selection comes in individual bowls. We had a crumble to share for pudding as we were full! The K cider brewed by Matt is delicious. Overall a smashing pub with pub food that is a cut above with imaginative seasonal ingredients. Highly recommended.

Warm, cosy and comfortable. Friendly, efficient staff. Fabulous choice of ciders and beers! Really lovely to have such a different menu from the usual pub fayre. We all had something different and everything was enjoyed and finished even though the portions were very generous. Cant comment on the desserts as we were all too full to try them but they sounded delicious! Would like to return in warmer weather to enjoy the outside space. Plenty of parking space as well.

Shared a tasty starter followed by another starter and a main. Everything was superbly cooked and presented. The pub is a classic inn with mixed groups enjoying their Friday evening in a lovely warm ambience.

Nice Lunch stop after a Walk. Pleasant and helpful staff and food were very good. Had the Beef sandwich with chips. Well prepared and presented, little wait but if you want fast food go to McDonald's. Not the cheapest sandwich at £10, but probably fair value. Landlords own Cider is a must-try in moderation.

In all honesty we were looking for another pub which had closed and having passed this on the way we came in. Cider brewed on site in many variations plus some local ales. Food menu good and locally sourced. Beautiful terrace to the front which was super sunny on the day also lovely garden to the rear. Staff friendly and helpful. Turns out listed as top 20 cider pub in the UK by the Times!! Worth looking it out.

My family and I enjoyed lunch at the Crown to celebrate my birthday. We had a variety of dishes, rabbit pie, soufflé Boulanger, steak, chicken breast stuffed with pesto, chicken nuggets for my 10 year grandson. All followed by lemon and lime cheesecake, Elton mess, variety of ice creams.

I know many people promote the roast dinner here, but we went for a simple dinner on a Monday evening. We sat outside which was no issue at all with the staff, lovely in the sunshine!The food was great, the ham egg and chips was very tasty any my friend had a HUGE pie which she enjoyed. I really liked the idea of being able to order half sized puddings. We did this but found the portion that came was more than enough anyway!Overall for 3 courses and drinks the price was very reasonable, I would highly recommend it.

We visited the Crown Inn whilst staying in the area, and foot was excellent, the countryside round the crown inn was beautiful,

Good spot for an after fishing the wye meal. Starter was a really nice asparagus and poached egg dish- yolks brilliantly orange. Burgers were well made though we all struggled to finish them- perhaps stilton sauce was a flavour too much.Puddings and the beer was really nice also. Good service from the young lads who were really moving around this popular eatery.

We stayed here one night, with permission from the friendly landlord,, in the pubs car park, in our motorhome on our recent trip to the West Country. Some hostelries kindly offer this complimentary facility.The host was so obliging and we could not fault his hospitality. The food was excellent and the ambience of the pub was exceptional. I was surprised to see any negative reviews on trip advisor at all. We had a great evening, and would certainly recommend this great inn, I wish there were more like it!!

Nice sunny day and enjoyed the Woolhope circular walk after stopping at the Farmers market (last Saturday of the month from 10); stopped in for a great lunch in the garden.Lovely sandwiches with excellent chunky chips and a half of cider - very nice.The beef sandwich with a pot of horseradish and dunking gravy particularly good!

Lovely country pub. Plenty of parking. Lots of outdoor and indoor seating. Friendly welcome. Not a massive menu choice. But enough. My pie and chips were excellent. If you enjoy cider or perry, this is the pub for you. Massive choice.

We thought we might be on our own eating here on a Monday night but there were others around and a good atmosphere. The traditional presentation is just what is needed in a proper village pub.

Excellent food and friendly service from Landlord and staff. Favourite place for a meal anytime, fair sized portion. Award winning Cider maker as well. Landlady also an excellent cook.

Four of us visited last Month for Sunday lunch.The whole meal was delicious, a great range of vegetables all very well cooked and beautifully presented. It was great to have your gravy in separate jugs instead of having poured over the lunch.The sweets were excellent too.Very good service, and well worth another visit.

Called in on the off chance on Easter weekend and returned on Easter Sunday for lunch as we were very impressed. Lovely food served by lovely staff. Will call again when we are next in the area

The Crown has an amazing range of ciders, we had a great lunch here with good, straightforward food really well cooked, great service and a beautiful pub garden - a lovely peaceful location.

We were a big group and fitted in at late notice for a Sunday sitting even though it put them out. The atmosphere was perfect. Thoughtful staff. The Landlords own brew Cider is a delight. Difficult to chose between the starters. The Beef was some of the best I have had in a very long time, in fact all the food is delicious, I tried the lamb and it was perfectly cooked. The accompaniments are all homemade and delicious. They do a brilliant half portion of pudding so just when you think you couldn’t eat another thing you can!! The views from the pub are out of this world. I really think you would struggle to find a better pub in Herefordshire.

Hard to fault the location in this delightful village and the staff were what one would expect. The menu was a bit 'precious' with limited garlic free choice but the range of ales and cider was good and well kept.

Visited for the first time in over 25 years. Welcome was very friendly and accomodating. Service was very good, maybe food dedlivery was a tad slow but can accept that given it is freshly prepared. I'm sure we did well visiting at this time of year as I imagine it can get really busy in the nice summer months. Notwithstanding that we will return

My husband and I both had a sandwich on Saturday 23rd Feb, on was a cheese, tomato and pickle, the bread was not fresh it was the previous days and my husband had a crust which I do not think was acceptable given the price. My battered cod was not too bad, it could however have been done with being cooked a little more as the batt was soggy.Also we had to wait 1/h2hr for out food, I order a portion of fries unbeknown the sarnies came with chips but no one bothered to adviise.Expenseive sarnies, not worth the money.,

Lovely old Inn, full of character, warm, friendly welcome even though we hadn't booked.I had the Skrie Cod in batter, thick cut & flaky the best I have ever tasted. My partner had the steak which was cooked to perfection with home made onion rings delicious. Rhubarb cheesecake for dessert which was very light & refreshing served with a sorbet. All in all excellent & good value. This is a gem of a place which gets busy so probably best to book.

We were able to return to the Crown for dinner last weekend and we were not disappointed. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, and the open fire was very welcoming. All of the specials sounded delicious and were an interesting addition to the standard menu. The partridge and cod brandade were superb. The pheasant pie was glorious, with a rich sauce set off by "melt-in-the-mouth" home-made shortcrust pastry, served with flower sprouts and beef dripping chips. The halibut dish was stunningly well conceived and prepared. Served with pancetta gnocchi, braised leeks and enoki mushrooms it was one of the finest plates of food I have ever tasted. The chef has a gift for cooking fish perfectly and keeps creating imaginative dishes with interesting combinations.The Crown is a "Hidden gem" in Herefordshire and deserves to be much busier. I just hope that when the word gets around we will still be able to get a table!

Ambience, service, food, drink all excellent. Mushroom starter (see photo) very good as was my Goats Cheese Stack main course. My wife's soup and Bream were equally delicious. And a perfect pint of HPA. Using a Travelzoo voucher made this exceptional value. Will definitely return voucher or not. Will also make more of a day of it to explore this beautiful part of the country.

Well kept beers - wines were ok and the food was good quality served on time and at a reasonable cost - will return!

Went here with my daughterSome kind of festival /celebration going on in the garden and church next door so lovely smell of food before even went Event seemed very very well attended Welcome on the phone had been very welcoming but unfortunately this wasn’t carried out by male member of staff , not landlord who was indifferent Food very good and plentiful Smiles would have been nice but may have been tired dealing with the outside activities Will try lunch next time

We were travelling from the Cotswolds to Shropshire & chose this deal as a a stopping off place for lunch. The Travelzoo deal is good value. we had a warm welcome from the staff as we entered this impressive rural Inn. the meal was beautifully presented and high quality. Very good range of food and drinks. It is easy to see why it is popular.

All three of us had the chicken and bacon pie with a shortcrust pastry top, it was excellent. The landlord was helpful and friendly and the beer was good. A great place to go for lunch in a beautiful location.

I visited with my son and his partner for dinner and was very impressed with the standard of the food and drinks.The starters we had were pakora's and crispy chilli beef, really good, well seasoned and very tastyI was really pleased to see pigeon and juniper pie on the menu, we ordered two of those and one Stonebass. The pies were superb, full of flavour and the pigeon cooked beautifully, the fish was very well cooked and had a beautifully seasoned crust.The beers and ciders are very well kept. The staff are great, very helpful and obviously know their menu very well.The pub was very busy, but the service very good.I will certainly visit again

We had a lovely tasty meal; my daughter and I had steak and my husband had the gammon ham. All beautifully prepared home cooking. Love the idea of half portion puddings! Very pleasant atmosphere and good service. Would go back again.
