Weren't sure what time we would get there so we ordered 2 takeaway Sunday vegetarian lunches at £13 each. What we got was enough for 2 meals each! Nut loaf, veggie sausage, veggie stuffing, cauliflower cheese, 6 other veg, a tub of onion gravy each and a Yorkshire pud. The veg were not over cooked and everything tasted good. So - good food, well cooked, good portions at a bargain price! Conclusion; we'll be back on Wednesday for curry night!

The Curre and Llangibby Hunt were meeting here before going off to frighten and then tear apart the local wild life. The whole area was blighted by this event.

Booked for an 80th birthday Sunday Lunch seating 13 adults and 1 child. Usual choices of roast meat plus 2 vegetarian options. Meat and yorkshire pudding came already plated which is fine. Then the vegetables arrived...and kept coming. 10 different choices of vegetables appeared and if we wanted more of them we just had to ask. Plenty of gravy boats too. We didn't have starters and we would not have been able to eat dessert as there was so much of the main to fill us up! Food tasted lovely and only £15.00 for 1 course. We will be back!

Had a takeaway Sunday lunch during lockdown (they still do this), rang on the off chance they were now taking bookings for the lounge. A very pleasant lady welcomed us. Reasonable drinks prices bottle of wine for £15, housewine £12. Varied choice of starters/mains and desserts priced £5 starter, £15 mains, £5 dessert. 2 of us had starters,pate and halloumi sticks, well presented good sized portions and very tasty. For mains 3 of us had beef and 1 pork, melt in the mouth, piping hot and they do not stint on the portions! Accompanied by dishes of boiled and roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, peas, mashed swede, 2 boats of delicious gravy and everyone gets the stuffing, sausages and most importantly yorkshire pud. Dessert; Oreo cheesecake and raspberry roulade again beautifully presented. It's safe to say we were stuffed! The best compliment I can give is that it was as good as my own home cooked Sunday lunch (only bigger portions!) Thanks go to the girls serving, they were quick, efficient and able to make conversation at the same time. The place had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and we did not feel we had to rush to leave after our meal. Could not fault our experience so a big thank you to all the staff of the Huntsman, you made it a memorable anniversary meal. All the tables were full but the landlady advised that not many seem to know they are doing meals in the lounge again. If you read this and are in the area, book, you'll be in for a treat.

Nicely placed on a countryside crossroad. A large car park so, no issue on where to park. We didn't pre- book. The bar area was bustling with happy people chatting & eating. The empty tables were reserved. We were greeted by Sarah, at the bar whom made us feel welcome however, they were fully booked. Thankfully a couple had just cancelled in the other restaurant area & Sarah, arranged for us to eat in there, still using the bar area menu. It was Silver service, polite well spoken & smartly dressed young ladies/women serving everyone. Lovely hot freshly cooked food. No Pre-packaged, pre-portioned microwave meals here. I had the lamb & my partner had the beef. No scrimping on portion sizes. We both had the Sticky toffee pudding & ice cream for dessert.All in all, a pleasant meal out with great service. Well worth the travelling; 1/2 an hour away from home. (would of been nice to have had some quiet classical or Jazz music playing in the back ground maybe).Keep up the good work all. The ladies toilet was well equipped with all that a lady/baby needs. Clean & fresh smelling.

Hi visited on an evening recently as 2 older couples . They had been there many times in the past but for no particular reason hadn't been back for a few years . For my wife and I it was our first visit . We were warmly greeted by the lady behind the bar and were served by a very friendly and pleasant young lady . We had 2x Gammon and one fresh cod and one 6oz fillet steak. All was good with a proper portion of everything including fresh vegetables all cooked well .. The meal was very good and we hope to return again. The Hotel itself is clean but in need of some investiment in refurbishing . Everything is tired and worn but as I say clean and warm and we will return maybe for a sunday lunch which has had good reviews . Maybe best to book that ahead . Costs 4 main courses and a bottle of red wine about 85 pounds

Having had a great time before Christmas and a fabulous meal we thought we would see if it was a one off. Thankfully it was not and we had another great meal and night out. All dishes were plentiful and well cooked. Really good value for money and excellent servers. Speaking to local people the Sunday Roast has been recommended to us so my next report will be on that. I am so looking forward to our Sunday booking.

6 of us visited the Huntsman just before Christmas and having read some of the Trip Advisor report was a little skeptical.Well my thought soon changed once seated and given the menu, good choice and I soon picked out my three courses.I started with the Pate and it was really good with plenty of very nice fresh bread and lovely pickle. I would have liked a little more pickle but I never asked. With the service we had I am positive if I had asked I would have been given more. Main course I opted for the Turkey and was very pleasantly surprised with not only how much was on the plate but how thick it was cut and hot it was. We had three types of cooked potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, peas, cabbage, parsnips, swede, stuffing two types of gravy all served piping hot and beautifully cooked. Everyone had full plates and their was still food in the dishes. Now I had planned to have the sticky toffee pudding for desert but my eyes got bigger than my belly and I landed up with just having the Ice Cream. However next time I go it will be the sticky pudding as my daughter in law had it and not only did it look great it tasted great.I am already booked to go back again so I have no hesitation in recommending The Huntsman to anyone. Thank you for a great meal at a reasonable price see you soon.

We stayed over at the huntsman last night to go to Chepstow race and we were all very happy with our stay. The food was very good and and the landlord is very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for him and overall a 5 star service and would definitely stay again. Room was basic and clean and excellent value for money and lived up to our expectations as we knew it was not going to be luxury spa hotel before we booked. So rooms not up to Celtic manor standard but service was better! Thank you we had a lovely stay with you

The cost of a 3 course lunch was £15.95 which was very good value. I would ighlight the main courses where there was a plentiful variety of roast meats with all the trimmings served fresh and hot. The first course of mainly varieties of soup and the very tasty desserts went down extremely well too. There were clean plates all round.

A coeliac with us was well catered for with staff having first discussed the menu with her. The food was plentiful and delicious with a good variety to choose from. We had two courses but as the third was included in the price they offered us a choice and boxed it for us to take home! How good is that? The service was friendly and most efficient.

We visited this for a second time yesterday. It's convenient for meeting family as it's midway between us. Our family is quite awkward for restaurants as we have a 4 year old, two lactose-intolerant, 1 gluten free, 2 vegans and 2 normal! However, the Huntsman Hotel is brilliant at catering for these needs, producing separate special menus which take into account the best food available on the day. The special meals were very varied and not the usual 'fruit salad' easy option which many restaurants lazily fall back on. I was able to enjoy the yummiest chocolate brownies and soy ice cream. A real effort had been made. Yes, the place could do with a bit of a makeover but that's not worth taking a star away, especially when nothing's too much trouble for the staff, who were chatty, friendly and knowledgeable. We'll be back.

Today however I was so disappointed and so where all my family. The dinner was so bland! There was no seasoning on anything.. the gravy was dreadful! My sister had the Pork and was offered no stuffing sausage crackling..she thought there wasn’t any until we saw others having it after she finished.. also no cheese and biscuits on the desert menu. Won’t be returning again.. such a shame.

Myself and my family have visited this hotel/restaurant a couple of times a year over the last 22 years, so we know it well. Having returned recently, the food has become poor, vegetables tough and the meat generally not as good as it has been over the years. Top prices are charged, but definitely no longer worth it.

Terribly rude and dismissive attitude of chef when making a query, after being advised to ring in the week before when initially making the booking.

Nine of us - two vegans, two lactose-free, one pescatarian, one four-year old and three anything goes! But nothing was too much trouble. Special menus had been produced, with great choice. A (quite understandable) slight delay in the food being produced but this was immediately picked up by the owner and sorted. Chips to die for. Sizeable portions and top-ups of any more veg we needed. Bread just kept coming. Great wine choice. Extremely genial owner. Would certainly recommend.

I had eaten here a few times before, but called in here with a friend for lunch, I had a pint of Felinfoel Stout which I had not tried before and it was excellent. I had fancied fish and chips and didn't see this on the menu so decided to have Scampi the girl at the bar showed me another menu which she said was for smaller meals from which I selected Jumbo Fish and Chips! Our meals arrived quite quickly and we both enjoyed them - good quality and plenty of it. The Huntsman was quieter than I had expected but it was a miserable day. If you come here for a meal look further than the menu on the table! Look at the other menus and the specials board - there is a lot to choose from.

I know the family on a personal basis and have done so for years. However this is based upon my stay and not my friendship with the family. We have lived in France and Spain and on our trips home have always stayed at the Huntsman. We use the same room each and every time. The welcome is as always friendly and helpful. The rooms are adequate for one's stay clean and tidy and the pricing is totally acceptable. The food is home produced and one has to try the Lamb Rogan Josh! Then draft beers and a wide range of wine. Nothing is too much for Phil Moles and his wider family. My wife and I love it there and there is Wi Fi as well. Although on a country road there is little traffic at night. Ahead of eating at the Huntsman stop for a pint at the Carpenters just down the road.The Huntsman is renowned for its Sunday lunch

From beginning to end absolutely amazing, we met with Phil about our wedding meal who talked us through and planned everything and promised the world. Talk is cheap, but he totally exceeded our already high expectations!!! Food and service just amazing!! Also went there for a meal tonight and just as we expected, perfect!!

I've been here twice now for Sunday lunch..The positives..You get alot of food for your money. The amount of veggies to choose from is indeed impressive, and something I personally like rather than the usual broccoli and carrots.The chicken roast is nice, but the beef was like a school dinner, very thin slices and very well done, not my taste.The puddings are probably the best thing on the menu, especially the ginger and treacle tart, although they didn't have it last time which was disappointing as it was partly the reason for going back!The staff are very friendly and always look very busy. They let you take dessert with you if you are full, which is a nice thought. The atmosphere is nice and informal, so it's a good place for a family.The bad..The overall quality of the food could definitely be improved. Each meal I experienced had things that needed addressing/improving. My vegetable soup for example - it had small pieces of veg in that were still crunchy. As mentioned the beef was not good at all. When going for Sunday lunch you expect the meat, being the main thing, to be decent. The gravy was generic for any meat, which made sense when I asked if I could have a bit of chicken to go with the beef and it all came with one gravy.The other confusing thing is there are so many servers! In one meal we had 6 different people wait our table. When the food arrives they serve the veggies for you on your plate, kind of like silver service but not. All the servers turned up at the same time and it was like a parade around the table, very squashed and slightly chaotic. It was also confusing as you didn't know who to call when you needed something else. The overall decor is severely outdated. The exterior needs a complete repaint, I was surprised the first time I saw it as it looks very run down and dirty. The dining room is carpeted and the toilet was like in a dodgy pub with a huge hole in the door. Not really acceptable.That is why my rating is average. Perhaps others here have had better experiences than I had, but I left not overly wanting to return, despite the nice desserts. Hopefully it will improve as it seems to have a loyal client base.

There's always a warm welcome at the Huntsman hotel in the beautiful Wye valley. If it's a meal you're after there's plenty to choose from. The plates are full of delicious home cooked dishes. Highly recommended.

You will not be disappointed if you choose this wonderful establishment for your Sunday lunch! Went today with five members of my family. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was superb and plentiful.

Saturday evening meal out - frozen deep fried starter, burnt sea bass, crucified mushrooms, solid black pudding - diabolical food and no ambience at all. Avoid at all costs (and it's not cheap)

We ended up here after a disaster at our first option. they had a table for us and we turned up ( a party of 6) The service was great, the food good and plentiful. A nice atmosphere and they even took on board the birthday and despite us not ordering a dessert as we were all full, they bought out a Brownie decorated with cream and candles for the birthday girl.We had various meals from gammon, stake, lasagne to salmon. All good standard. All in all a good night - thank you

This is a great location for a pub/restaurant but it is badly in need of some renovation and redecoration.

Booked a table for Sunday Lunch at the Huntsman. Everything went well, from the moment we were seated - We ordered our Starters - Pate and Garlic Mushrooms, followed by traditional Sunday Roast, I had the beef and my partner had the pork - this is plated and then the staff silver serve the vegetables, and what a selection - it's amazing and very tasty!!When we had finished our mains we really couldn't eat anymore - so we mentioned that we wouldn't be having dessert - but it's a 3 course - we were then asked if we would like to order our dessert and we could take them away - (This is such a lovely touch)Would defiantly recommend for a Traditional Sunday Lunch and great value for money with exceptional customer service - very friendly atmosphere.

Went during the week as a party of 5. Delicious food in a very old fashioned environment. A little pricey but big portions.

Superb lunch both for value and standard, staff were excellent. If you came away hungry then that's your fault believe me this place doesn't do small portions.

Carpet in the dining room stinks. The whole place badly needs to be refurbished. The building is divided up into shabbily fashioned rooms with hardboard walls etc. it still gives me the shivers when I think of it. the location is lovely though, and it is a great shame that the hotel does not live up to the wonderful location.

Stayed here after our hotel we originally booked was less than substandard. The rooms here are clean, well stocked with tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits etc. En-suite bathroom extremely clean too. Comfortable beds and plenty of storage in rooms. Only complaint with the room is that the TV is very old and we could only watch one channel. Breakfast was awesome, plenty of it with as much toast as you want, good choice of cereals and a big jug of orange juice on the table. We were late for breakfast but they happily cooked for us. All in all a lovely little hotel, in beautiful surroundings and very pleasant helpful staff. Would definitely recommend this place and will stay here again. Well done guys!

An excellent pub meal, a superb menu selection with generous portions, well cooked and well presented. All the staff encountered were knowledgeable and courteous. A good selection of real ales, and probably the most extensive selection of vegetarian meals that we have come across in a pub.

Been the the Huntsman many times, food always lovely especially the sunday dinners, lots to choose from and its very good value for money.However the staff have been a problem a few times i have visited.The last time really made me want to review it, theres lots of younger girls working there and a lot of them dont know customer service! Very miserable and quiet and dont know the answers to very basic questions that i asked. On top of that, the most recent visit, two staff member smelt very very strongly of body odour. This was very off putting whilst eating our food and they were floating passed us every 5 minutes. I would never like to say to anyone directly as i know it must be horrible, i did want to speak to the manager but unfortunately i was informed that they were 'very busy'.That said, some of the older staff members were pleasant and did not have body odour, it was just a shame about the ones that did!
