The Kilpeck Inn in Herefordshire, County of

Another great stay at the Kilpeck Inn for our biannual assault on the coarse fish stocks of the nearby River Wye. We had three rooms for three nights, all of which were very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the two evening meals were superb. The cooked breakfast was delicious with all local ingredients. We have been before and will be back. It's far and away the best place we've found to stay south of Hereford. Be warned the restaurant and bar is closed on Monday - We used it as a great excuse to visit the Beefy Boys in Hereford.

Terrible service but good food. Which do you choose? They keep forgetting what we asked. Asked wine and sauce for three times, which came when food was already cold. Asked for a cup of coffee which never came at the end 🤣 I think this service ruined the dinner.

Decided last minute to go for Sunday lunch, fortunately despite the last minute decision to go out for lunch, popped in at 11.30am (as we live in kilpeck) to enquire and they very kindly found us a table. Table booked for 13.00. Food was absolutely faultless, we both opted for the muscles starter, and then followed by roast beef. Despite being local to this fabulous little gem, we use it quite rarely, usually birthdays and anniversaries !! We both commented on this occasion that the service was 110% From the friendly greeting, to the service we received at the table, very very attentive staff, which went above and beyond. Thank you to the amazing team members who are a credit to the kilpeck inn.

What a find! We stayed here for one night whilst in the area and were lucky enough to arrive in time for an evening meal at this understandably popular place. The food was a delight... with an extensive menu which included gluten free options. The menu also had a wonderful note at the bottom which stated they would make efforts to reduce cross contamination which is great had we been travelling with our coeliac daughter. It beats the usual off-putting disclaimer, focusing on what they'll try to do to help rather than what they can't do! The food was sublime. We were so impressed and soon understood why the venue was so popular. I had a marvellous vegetable risotto whilst my husband had salmon. Both were excellent, timely and fresh tasting. We stayed the night here so we're lucky enough to sample the accomodation and breakfast, both of which were an equally high standard. The rooms are clean, comfortable and cosy for a good night's rest. Breakfast was brilliant, nicely presented and plentiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here... and would return in a heartbeat if we were exploring the area again.

Excellent food in a cosy country inn atmosphere. Good service. 15 mins drive out of Hereford high street. Would definitely return. Good for groups

There’s centuries of history in this village pub. Apparently it was originally a cottage built in about 1650 from stones taken from a Norman castle which was demolished during the Civil War. It opened as a pub in about 1750.But, as with many village pubs, the emphasis is now on diners, rather than drinkers. More places should aspire to the “local and seasonal” take on the food that the Kilpeck offers. As in Wye Valley asparagus, partnered with a “houmous” made from white beans and wild garlic. A hazelnut pesto may not be seasonal or local but it really worked, drizzled across the top of the asparagus. The other starter was their interpretation of the modern classic – scallops, just seared, with cauliflower, dabs of apple puree and black pudding. A bit oddly, the black pud was served cold, whilst everything else was hot. A spring vegetable risotto was a very generous affair (and couldn’t be finished). Nicely cooked “al dente” rice with wild garlic leaves, pea shoots, asparagus and spring onions. Really delicious. Pork fillet was cooked to “pink” and came stuffed with a mix of nettles and sage. There’s a perfectly cooked fondant potato and lightly cooked summer kale provided some texture contrast. A well made cider sauce reminded you this is cider country. So, that’s four plates of very enjoyable food to round off a week’s stay in the area.

Very friendly efficient staff, admitted us even though we were early after visiting the amazing church. Sandwiches were perfect. Roast beef lots of it and tender, halloumi and mushroom freshly cooked and no annoying coating on the halloumi. Bacon probably the best ever.

We visited here for Sunday lunch after a ‘quick google’ and are so glad we did! We had the dog with us so sat in the bar area which just felt like a cosy dining room. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. We had the Sunday Roasts- my partner had the beef and I had the pork, both were incredible!! Could not fault a thing! Genuinely now considering booking our next holiday based around a Sunday lunch here!! :-)

Stumbled on this place. We arrived at 2 (wanting lunch) which is when they stop serving. The waitress told us they stopped serving but would ask the chef. The chef said yes! We were delighted. We just had main courses, both our meals were excellent, we cleared our plates. Lovely place, warm atmosphere, waitress was very attentive and friendly.

The food was delicious and amazing but the service was nonexistent no front of house we waited 5 minutes before we were what would we like to drink and that took another 10 minutes then it took an hour for our food to be brought to our table, it was worth the wait but considering it wasn’t very busy it’s disappointing on the service side !!!!!

Excellent service - the team coped really well with the late arrival of a large party which could have adversely affected service but did not - we were really well looked after throughout the visit with appropriate and attentive service without being pushed nor pulled at anytime Excellent menu - a good and sensible selection on the Sunday lunch menu - caters for all tastes, wants and needs without having too much overwhelming choice Excellent food - tasted fantastic and great portion sizes - one did not feel in any way that there was not enough Excellent ambience - really lovely location and great ambience throughout

We booked table in the restaurant area a good few weeks in advance - arrived to be taken to a table in the bar/lounge area, not what we asked for. Sticky tables with cutlery laid on these sticky tables, not hygienic. Dead vase of daffodils on every table, how hard is it to refresh these? Starters and desserts were nice but the roast dinner wasn't great, the roast potatoes had the most unusual unpleasant taste as if they were either cooked in old oil or were cooked days earlier and reheated, spoiled the lunch.

A lovely pub. Was very busy as it was mothers day. Had to wait a short while as table wasn't ready for us. Once seated had our menus. No drinks menu or order. Had to ask for water twice. Other tables got their drinks before us who were seated later. Food was lovely although took a while but they were very busy so understandable, had to ask for cutlery for deserts, our starters came before our drinks, which was a bit weird. Had to ask for card machine to enable us to pay, then was asked to wait until they had sorted the cash and card. To make sure it was correct. We were then asked to leave as they needed the table for the next seating. If they had been a bit quicker looking after us. We would have left on time anyway. Felt as if we have your money please go now, which put a bit of a dampener on the afternoon. I probably would go again but not on a day like mothers day see if its better service. We felt a bit awkward having to ask for everything. I put it down to it being mothers day.

What a lovely pub, welcoming staff, lovely food, some interesting gins and huge scallops! This was our first visit, we also stayed overnight and our room was very nice and great value. Will definitely return, it’s on our list of places for when we next travel.

The table service was by a pleasant young lady but it was amateurish. We gave our wine order three times to two different ladies which then did arrive but after we had started our first course. To start with she was unable to give us the wine list as all the available copies were with other tables. Is it so difficult or expensive to have sufficient copies of the wine list? My starter of mussels was presented without any cutlery so I had to use the dessert spoon already laid on the table. The mussels dish was small (12- 15 shells) and the mussels themselves were small - seemingly no better than a typical budget supermarket vacuum pack. They were served with an-over creamy sauce which was woefully underseasoned. The sourdough toast was good. My partner had the pheasant breast starter which was chewy. My wife, an excellent and experienced cook, could give this chef a lesson on how to optimise pheasant. For main I had the duck breast - a generous portion well cooked and seasoned, served with cavalo nero but with unseasoned potato terrine cake. My partner had a beer-battered hake which she said was excellent, although the accompanying chips were only average and might have been from a frozen catering pack, presented in the now ubiquitous wire basket. She did have a white Rioja which was reasonable, but I had a large glass of an Argentinian Malbec which was terrible, so awful that I left most of it and still had heartburn afterwards. I suspect that the red wine was from a bottle that had been open many days, as it was clearly oxidised. Ordering by the glass you do not get the chance to taste the wine that you would have if ordering a whole bottle. Feeling less than enthusiastic about our experience we left without desserts or coffee. Would we return? Yes, if pushed and be much more careful about our choices.

Exellent!! Wonderful ! Amazing food . would recommend to anyone !! Very friendly staff. very professional was greeted kindly has disabled available parking and entry . Was greeted by very friendly staff and the food was to die for . Will definitely visit again shortly!! Highly recommended!

Oh yes. An ace place. Menu is varied and delicious especially the starters. I had pheasant breast with lentils and mushrooms,delicious. J had the Hereford hop soufflé which was lovely I’m told. Mains, I had the sea bream with creamed butter beans and celeriac. Mushrooms and pickled fennel. Delicious again. Both plates were big so I’m full now. J had sirloin steak sandwich. Chips ace, steak beautiful. Crème brûlée, with rhubarb a fitting end Service good wines and drinks good. Couldn’t fault it. NB. The pheasant starter - order it. You won’t be sorry.

Another relaxing break with friends. Kilpeck has become a firm favorite, having stay a number of times in the past. Comfortable, well appointed rooms and excellent dining. Innovative, well presented food and choice wines. Friendly and attentive staff headed by Niamh. Thoroughly recommended. See you soon..

Had an early lunch at 12:30 on a Wednesday for my partners birthday, so we had the full attention of the staff and kitchen. Very friendly and professional. We’re given a choice of seating which was nice. Scallops for starter were superb and both our steaks were cooked to order. Great value for money with great service. Would definitely return again when in the area next. Thank you.

As a local who used to regularly eat and drink here,(and supported the pub during the lockdown) we have stopped coming for some time due to the Manageress. For some reason she seemingly did her utmost to deter locals from using the pub (laying up all the tables in the bar for breakfast at the beginning of the evening shift so we had nowhere to sit, openly telling staff not to talk to the locals etc) This approach has worked very well but having now heard she has left, we ventured out again last night and what a difference. The staff actually said hello when we walked in and gave us a warm welcome and we were able to sit in the bar again. The atmosphere was friendly and it was like it used to be a few years ago. So good to have Amy back behind the bar and wonderful to be treated like a valued customer again as opposed to an inconvenience. We might even start eating here again!

Starting with positives - food was nice. Steak was excellent. Staff were pleasant but we did feel a bit ignored in a small room by ourselves. Had hoped for Xmas menu given date of visit - this needed to be pre-ordered ( but hadn’t been offered when booked several weeks before.)

I had dined here previously two months ago. After eating the food I immediately went to the manageress to book my 70th Birthday meal, such was the ambience, quality of food and the interpersonal skills of the staff. I booked their private room which could be part of the restaurant or you could just close the doors and be separate, we did both on the evening and it was perfect. The manageress, Isabela, could not have been more helpful in arranging all the details for this very special evening ( I find that certain comments made about her, previous to this statement completely incomprehensible and totally inaccurate as far as I am concerned). On the evening of my 70th EVERYTHING could not have been better. Some of my guests have travelled all over the world and are dedicated "foodies" , they raved about the food and the service. In my past life I have also been a chef and I could find no fault in the food, waitressing and management. I for one will definitely be supporting this fantastic venue for as many years as I am allowed. I am a Herefordshire lad, born and bred, all I can say is that if every Restaurant, Inn etc. in Herefordshire were as good as The Kilpeck Inn the county would be a desired venue for foodies the world over.

My parents booked and treated the 10 of us to this this lunch to celebrate my mums 80th birthday which was a real treat for all if us as it was a one off, very special family occasion. The food was delicious and loved the ambience of this good, old fashioned pub. Experience slightly ruined by being made to feel a degree uncomfortable throughout the meal by one of the waitresses (unfortunately allocated to our table!!) being rather abrupt and dismissive....she made it feel like we were a bit of an annoying hindrance to her working day (other waitress was lovely)...luckily my mum and dad were enjoying their lunch surrounded by their closest family so appeared unaware of the officious waitress (her attitude was however picked up on by others in our family).....therefore to summarise a fantastic meal and occasion...but slight bad taste left in the mouth by the attitude of this particular staff member.

The Kilpeck Inn is a beautiful village venue, the food was beutiful and the accommodation lovely, we really did love it, however it was extremely over shadowed by one particular member of staff call ISabella. This lady made a very awkward and unwelcoming atmosphere to not only ourselves but some other customers too, who made some comments of her unwelcoming charm and abruptness. The other staff we absolutely lovely and where happy to help, one of the younger girls was chatting away to us about our visit which was lovely and then was moved on swiftly and rudely by Isabella, it seems they are working in quite an uncomfortable environment alongside her. We felt that not only did Isabella not want our custom when we asked for the last room available but that the idea of having us stay for a meal was not on her agenda! This member of staff really does take the shine off what is a beautiful place to stay, if it wasn't for that one member of staff we would definitely return here.

Myself and my wife have stayed( and ate) at the Kilpeck 4 times in the last year or so, after stumbling on the Kilpeck just as Covid restrictions were lifted. We are also booked in at the end of October and will book for February...

We were keen to visit the Kilpeck & see what all the fuss was about … as I believe it has recently won food awards. We booked for 2pm for Sunday Lunch @ £19 each. The food was just a bit disappointing … Just a...

Sunday lunch for 2... good meals, served quickly and looked after by a young team. Roast pots and yorkies not that good, but the meat was great. Very busy and good at what it does!

Great food - for instance way better than Walnut Tree Michelin star restaurant... particularly liked the very large mussels and the roasted fig and ginger/mascarpone and pistachios. It was busy so maybe should excuse the comment when querying after a full 30minutes+ why lager had...

My sister was staying in Hereford for a break so we drove 90 minutes from home to meet her. We checked out local pubs and chose the Kilpeck Inn and were completely astounded. What a fabulous venue! And an amazing menu - super choice -...

We booked for Sunday lunch as we were staying locally and this place was recommended. With two courses for £24 we found the food very good, my wife’s hake was excellent and my pork belly really tasty. Service from the young staff was efficient and...

Fantastic Sunday lunch takeaway. I phoned one hour ahead and drove to collect. Well packaged stayed hot despite half hour drive home. Great value and delicious particularly the veg and gravy! Thank you

The chef(s?) certainly know how to prepare a good meal, but there is not much incentive to make frequent return visits to The Kilpeck Inn because of the extraordinarily narrow range of dishes on offer! Just consider: no poultry, no game - feathered or furred,...

We had lunch here and the food and service were great. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and has a relaxed feel. I had the pea soup and burger and both were very good. My only complaint is the main meals are served on a wooden...

Let's face it, we relay on either website, word of mouth or reviews when selecting a new place to eat. That's why I'm motivated to write this review. Five of our family gathered to celebrate a birthday here and all agreed the food was exceptional....

12 of us visited for Sunday lunch to celebrate my Mother's Birthday. All courses were superb and I would highly recommend The Kilpeck. The waiting Staff were very friendly and attentive. Big thank you for making my Mothers Birthday special.

Fabulous Sunday roast lunch, good selection of starters, mains and sweets. All excellent with prompt, friendly and helpful service. Definitely shall return.

What a pleasant surprise. My daughter and I thought if we were lucky we might get a sandwich locally on visiting the Church. Instead we found a fabulous restaurant at the Kilpeck Inn, serving delicious food with friendly and attentive staff. Such a treat but...

We had been to the Kilpeck a few years back and had been thinking about a return visit. When The KIlpeck came up in the Good Food guide, we took the opportunity and booked Sunday lunch with the family. The service struggled on a busy...

Lovely surroundings, we loved the decor. Very friendly staff, we didn't feel at all rushed. Lots of choice on the menu, the meal was presented very well and tasted delicious. My husband had the burger and I had the hake and chips, we also had desert, very tasty, lots yumming!! We thought it was reasonably priced. If we lived closer we would definitely go again.

Very rude staff. Did not feel welcome which is not what you want when you go out for a meal. Service was very rushed, will not be returning and do not recommend .

Quite an expensive meal for what you get on your plate. Friendly staff and quite to take orders and clear the tables. More pubs in the local area of better value for money.

Ate here with my sister, travelling quite a way as reviews are good. The setting is lovely and the ambience good. Not sure about table distances for COVID. The staff were in masks and there was sanitizer available. We ate the rare breed pork chop. It was a thick loin chop but the skin had not been rendered at all. Therefore a lot of the chop was inedible. The accompaniments were mixed. The braised pease were nice as was the sausage meat ball and black pudding purée. The garlic mash was bland and the meal generally under seasoned. Not really the quality I was expecting. Menu choices are not vast and the food is pricey. The pork chop was £19. House wine good quality. Staff helpful although one young man was a slightly off hand with comments.

The Kilpeck Inn is a handsome place, its always well spaced table giving privacy and covid compliance; the food is first class using local ingredients (the pork chop was revelation of its kind) and the service attentive; lovelylittle village with one of the most fascinating churches in england and a castle thrown inn; what more could one ask?

Book as a place to stay when visiting family nearby. Fantastic rural location but with a Gastro-pub and great WiFi.The most important thing with every stay is the bed. The Kilpeck Inn has the most comfortable beds that i have slept in. The room was a good size, the bathroom great, power shower and plenty of hot water. Breakfast, choice of full English, omelette, cereal, toast etc. as much tea or coffee as you could drink, plus fruit juice. Couldn't fault it.The staff were fantastic and the scenery around the Inn is stunning. Black Mountains to the West, Garway Hill to the south and rolling green fields and woodland everywhere else.

At last we were able to Kilpeck Inn again after the long lockdown. We last visited December 2020 so it’s been a while but...worth waiting for. We went as a couple and a lab and sat in the bar area to eat which is our favourite place. There were a few new faces working there but all were attentive as usual. The food was a good as ever. We both had starters and main course but we were too full for desserts. I was greedy and had 2 starters...Olives, bread etc..plus the quails eggs and my husband had his usual of mussels. The steak was as good always and cooked exactly as he wanted it...and my salmon was delicious. We had a thoroughly lovely time.

I have Been here twice now, it is now one of my favourites and will definitely be returning again. The staff are polite and professional. The food was delicious, cooked fresh and presented beautifully.

We were delighted to get availability in the marquee shortly after removal of lockdown restrictions. The cover was welcome as it took the worst out of the chill and allowed us to enjoy the excellent food. The menu was short enough to allow rapid service but long enough to have plenty of choice. Service was friendly and helpful and food of a very high quality.

Had a lovely lunch here today. The hake in batter was perfectly cooked as was the chocolate fondant. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Will definitely return when next in the area. Forgot to mention Ollie the dog was a star.😀

Fabulous lunch! After a 7 mile walk with friends around the glorious area we had a fantastic lunchtime meal (we have only previously had Sunday lunch here). High quality service, food and attention. We’ll definitely be coming back.

We had a wonderful evening here. The food was excellent- the fish really fresh. Very attentive service. Adapted outside area worked really well.

Hubby brought me here for a birthday dinner. The lamb was perfect as was the sirloin and the puddings.? To die for. Given the covid situation I can’t imagine any venue doing a better job. Truly exceptional.

Visited on a Tuesday for my birthday on the recommendation of friends and were really pleased we did. The food was beautifully cooked and tasty with plenty of choice. The staff who served us were most friendly and obliging. This is a lovely pub in a peaceful village and the owners are trying hard to provide a valuable service to their customers at this most taxing of times.We will gladly visit again .

It was good to be back at The Kilpeck and to see the effort the pub has made to serve food. The food was as good as always and the service as slow as always. Nice to get a draught beer again.

We attended a outdoor sitting for a family birthday in the newly erected outdoor seating area. On arrival to our booking we wereplaced on the only table with a heater absent. Not a good start. We were in time moved to one with a working one. After ordering we then were told that in fact there were only 2 steak available of the 5 ordered. This was the first day of reopening - only a matter of hours into service, in rural Herefordshire where, let’s face it - people love a steak. Very poor management indeed. On asking if we required anything else we were soon informed that one of the condiments was also out of stock. The food that did get served was good to be fair but ultimately it was a second choice compromise. To really round the evening off - at around 10pm the drains were ‘woken up’ by whatever means and the stench that ensued was revolting - really rubbing salt into the wounds. Our waitress was good to be fair but the evening was dampened by the terrible management that ultimately meant that we could not have the meals we desired. Surely after months of time to prepare, a better experience should have been easy to achieve. Very poor indeed.

Well done to those involved.How nice to see a pub pulling the stops out during coving.Wonderful Sunday roast take away, generous portions, fresh and tasty.Our new norm will be to support this type of meal , in a pub making the effort during these times..well done to them, perhaps others should wonder why they can't match the effort.

Great take away last night. Food and service fantastic. Would highly recommend. A very safe way to order and collect during the pandemic-well set up, no queues and a friendly face to take contactless payment. Thank you.

We visited the Kilpeck inn last night after reading some great reviews and we weren’t disappointed. We also decided to stay over in The Wye room and once again we were very happy with the room.At dinner we had the pigeon and the scallops which were excellent and I had a steak and my wife the burger which she said was the best burger she’s ever had.Top marks to the lovely pub with great food, accommodation and lovely staff

We love the Kilpeck. We have not had a bad meal there yet. Always consistently good. Visited on 18.12.20. Lunchtime. Went as a couple with our lab. My husband had his usual starter of mussels, his absolute favourite. I had pheasant which was cooked perfectly for me. Haddock smoked for me..love it and My other half had belly pork which he thoroughly enjoyed. Apple crumble for him which he scoffed and didn’t give me a chance to try. I had the torte which was chocolatey without being bitter and just sweet enough for my taste.. I didn’t give him any either but did offer!!The ice cream to go with both puds was perfect. That and a bottle of wine made a great afternoon even with all the COVID restrictions etc. We felt perfectly safe so no problems at all on that score. There was a lovely peaceful atmosphere there. Staff were attentive and not intrusive. All in all top afternoon.

It was lovely to make a return visit today and to be able to enjoy the same high standard of food - a really good Hereford Hop souffle as a starter - , as well as being able to relax in the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. We were sitting in the well-spaced bar area, with its wood burning stove. Ideal.

We booked an overnight stay and were welcomed by Donna who showed us to our room and organised a table for dinner.The roooms are a good size with comfy beds and good, spotlessly clean bathrooms.Our table was in the bar area by the wood burner for dinner and I worked my way through the gin fizz cocktails before we selected a bottle of welsh red for dinner (which was surprisingly flipping brilliant!). We both had steak for dinner which was delicious and local ice cream for pudding (delicious). Donna and the young chap who both looked after us for the evening really make the place the welcoming pub that it is, they’re a real credit. Breakfast was good, there’s a small selection of cereals and juices on a table and a good menu for hot food; I had a delicious bacon butties and hubby had a full breakfast. The manager is a little more perfunctory than his staff but pleasant enough (he does breakfast). I can understand why, even though it’s a destination or drive to pub, the Kilpeck does so well. The food is every bit as good as it promises and the staff wonderful.

We were both very impressed with the quality of the food. As you would expect all locally sourced. We ere only here for the night but had to have the rack of border lamb - it was sensational as was everything else! Service was prompt and we left very happy, if slightly chilled. May I respectfully suggest if you do use the conservatory to serve food in the evening, then please provide some heat as I was very cold throughout the meal. I did consume 3 pints of local cider and this helped! I think had I come with my wife (not work colleague, then the cold surroundings would have been more of an issue!

Holidaying in the area and sadly many pubs not reopened, so when we detoured off the road on off chance and found this pub not only open but with some of the best food we have experienced for such a long time, we were beyond delighted. We ate outside and had 3 starters between the 2 of us , soufflé and the mussels were superb but the crab risotto was sublime. We both also had pudding, I am going to try making the thyme and raspberry Creme brûlée at home..what a fabulous taste... when we don’t normally like our crime brûlée’s “mucked about with!”We probably should have known the inn had such a great reputation but didn’t, but we do now. Service was great and friendly but the accolades have to go to the chef or chefs. Thank you.

We visited the Kilpeck on a Monday evening during holidays in the area. The service and quality of food was outstanding and, without doubt, the best we experienced during the time spent in the area. Highly recommended.

Great friendly helpful service. Delicious food, especially the salmon - beautifully prepared. Desserts to die for, try the sticky toffee pudding and the panna cotta with blackberries.

Date of visit 1st September 2020. Dinner was first class I would,strongly recommended a visit. Excellent service too.

We booked lunch at The Kilpeck Inn without knowing anything about it. We are very glad that we did. The menu is really interesting with much food locally sourced. It is cooked to order but worth the wait. Four of us chose very different meals and the food arrived fresh and hot and delicious. Highly recommend it.

Friendly and efficient takeaway service. Absolutely sublime fish and chips, the fish was so fresh, nicely cooked and perfectly seasoned. The minted peas were divine. The tartare sauce really tasty. An absolute treat at a very reasonable price.

Super well organised and equally good food. Well cooked fish and great peas....bravo for making this such a treat!

The inn is doing takeaway food during the lockdown. We had fish and chips with crushed garden peas. Two large fillets (each) of lovely thick fish in a superb, crispy batter with very good chips and tasty peas.Highly recommended - they also do Sunday roasts and burgers on some days.

Quiet winter lunch with elderly family member. Welcoming place in the country. Log fire, great food, ale a d friendly attentive service. Recommended

Very friendly staff, dogs more than welcome and lovely food. We both had the steak sandwich and thought they were cooked perfectly.

recent sunday lunch rst beef or pork and other options plenty of space recent saturday lunch -from sandwich / light lunch to full menu available

We avoided a week in Italy so decided to try the Kilpeck Inn for two nights and had an excellent stay. Two delicious dinners and breakfast beautifully cooked with local ingredients. Very comfortable bedroom and masses of hot water!

Went for lunch midweek. Took a chance and didnt book but luckily it wasn't too busy - we got there early and got a table okay. Food was excellent. Surroundings very smart. Staff friendly. Definitely will go back.

Absolutely gorgeous Sunday lunch, one of the best I’ve had, service brilliant, food looked so good and tasted delicious.

Yet again another faultless meal at the kilpeck Inn, took advantage of the Travelzoo offer, £39.00 for a three course meal for two. Absolutely delicious, started with the muscles and venison Crockett's, we both enjoyed the pork belly as our main, then to finish off sticky toffee pudding, yum yum. Thanks again Ross for a truly delicious meal, thanks also to our extremely attentive waitering staff.

I’ve eaten here quite regularly and can never fault it. Nine of us ate tonight and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and desserts. The veggie gnudi was awesome as well as the pork belly and the steaks were considered the best they’d had for a long time. The staff were really friendly and obliging and there was a good atmosphere and buzz to the place. Feel very lucky that this gem is only up the road from me.

My husband was doing a forging experience & we had orginally booked another place to stay. We were on route when the hotel rang to say that they were flooded out so had to cancel our booking. After a bit of a panic, we rang the Kilpeck Inn. Luckily they had just had a cancellation & could fit us in. We arrived about 6 & were greeted by friendly staff & shown our room, this was clean comfy & cosy. After sorting ourselves out we went down to the pub for food, drink & to relax after a mare of a journey. Again the staff were friendly & chatty. We were shown to our table & ordered our food. It arrived promptly & was delicious. The mussels with pancetta & cider cream was lush & the steak done to perfection. After finishing our meal & making a fuss of the pub dog Ollie we went back to our room. Breakfast the next day was a good start to the day - loved the fresh orange juice. I had lunch there as husband was at the forge - again good service. Ollie decided to keep me company & joined both of us that evening! Another good breakfast saw us on our way. All in all a great couple of nights away with comfy room, good food, friendly staff & an adorable dog to make a fuss of .

Best Sunday roast in 50 mile radius! Outstanding rare roast beef, cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes etc. The sticky toffee pudding was a delight too! Can't wait to return

A great pub with great food at very reasonable prices. We went for Sunday lunch at short notice. The helpful friendly staff managed to fit us all in even though it was clearly very busy. The food was way above normal pub grub standards, with nice rare beef and veggies cooked to perfection. We will be going again!

We had a Travelzoo voucher for a 3 course meal, went with 2 friends. The staff were welcoming and very friendly. The choice of food was excellent, so varied that if you couldn't find anything you liked, you would be very fussy indeed! The food was well presented and scrumptious! The Kilpeck is in a beautiful setting and a lovely part of the country to look around. I would definitely recommend and will be back! A BIG thankyou to all the staff.

We spent a night at the Kilpeck Inn on a Travelzoo offer. The service was excellent and the food “Top Nosh".

My wife and I enjoyed an exceptional lunch with 8 friends today in the Kilpeck Inn. We had a warm welcome, friendly and helpful service throughout the meal with high quality cuisine. The starter and mains courses were all using excellent quality ingredients very well cooked and beautifully presented. Additionally the main courses had quantity even beyond most of our appetites. Thank you to the kitchen team and the service crew for a most enjoyable lunch. We most certainly will return again in the near future.

Our second trip up from Newport for dinner here and once again absolutely sublime. We had a special five course dinner (+ canapes) and every course was perfect. Stayed overnight in great modernised room. Friendly helpful service. Can't recommend it enough.

Visited the Kilpeck Inn for a meal.

Trying to have a quiet drink before ordering dinner but have had to abandon the idea due to someone’s kid being aloud to run round screeching. Absolutely disgraceful!

Excellent, nice and busy, and super food even on late sitting. Will certainly go back to eat there again!

We enjoyed lunch here I had venison we also enjoyed the beef and the pork Then lovely desserts very special rice pudding, chocolate fudge with ice cream

We stayed for a night on a travel zoo offer and had a great stay. The room was their standard room which was comfortable. The evening meal in their restaurant was excellent. A roaring fire and nice ambience and the meal was top quality and washed down with great beer. The staff were lovely throughout and really looked after us. The village is lovely. The church is worth a visit and there is lots of local history you can read about.

My wife and I booked a one night stay , plus Dinner and b’fast. Our whole visit was well above average. Our room was spacious , warm and most comfortable. Dinner was delicious with ample helpings from a varied menu.the Breakfast was adequate. Staff throughout were very helpful, polite and extremely competent. If in the area again we would certainly return

Went to the Kilpeck Inn for lunch today, 7th January 2020. We wanted to redeem a Travelzoo voucher, lunch for two @ £37. We had reserved a table.

Saturday 28th December 2019 - lunch for a family of 5 (ages 21 to 64). This is a very smartly renovated and decorated gastro pub with a very well designed extension. As well as the bar area, there are a number of large alcove areas with single tables so that in these it almost feels like a private dining experience. Service is prompt and friendly. Food excellent - we had a range of mains - duck; hake; pork; and haddock - all with good fresh ingredients perfectly cooked. This place was recommended by foodie friends and boy were they right - it's great!

My wife and I had dinner at the Kilpeck Inn last night and enjoyed a very warm welcome, an excellent meal and first class service. The quality of the food was outstanding and the presentation of each dish was really good. The ambiance of the inn adds to a delightful evening and we will definitely return. In fact we booked for a party of 10 for Sunday lunch before leaving. Thank you to the staff for the service and meals which were of the highest standard.

Full marks for a stunning looking super smart restaurant.

Take the finest ingredients that the countryside has to offer. Add in a roaring log fire. Fine selection of ales. Olly the pub dog. And a starter that features Whitfield Estate pheasant served with wild mushrooms and pearl barley and you know you are in for a culinary treat.... lovely countryside for long walks and a castle in the village.. recommended highly.

We had stayed at the Kilpeck Inn a few times before, so decided to return. Sadly, we will not return again.

We visited with 2 other couples. We had a lovely meal could not fault the food at all. The waitress was excellent and very helpful. It was also good value and will definitely be returning.
