The Lion in Herefordshire, County of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We decided at the last moment to stay here, and it didn't disappoint. Theresa and the ladies made a great job of welcoming us and the food, atmosphere, and fellow guests made for a lovely experience. Would not hesitate to recommend.

The Lion was recommended by the place we stayed, but we had not planned to go, just dropped in on the way back from a day out. A really friendly welcome and we were told they could fit us into the Top Bar for food. We loved it in there, really cosy. The food was great and the staff were really attentive and friendly.

A very disappointing experience on Mothers Day. The service was poor and some of the food was cold and had to be sent back. No response at all from the waiter. On my return, having apologised to my mother-in-law, for whom this should have been a treat, I emailed my thoughts to the restaurant. I received no acknowledgement. After another week went by and still having had no reply, I emailed again to ask if they had received them. I was told that they had been flagged for the manager to deal with but she was on holiday. Three weeks later, I still have had no reply. I have been to this restaurant before and had no complaints. I will not be going back.

Booked a meal for early evening on the way home from a day out. Staff were so lovely and welcoming. Food was beautiful. Overall great service. Definitely recommend and we will be back. Thank you.

Visited for lunch on a very wet day, thankful for the sanctuary this delightful pub offered. Full of character & pleasant staff, the service excellent. The prices were very reasonable & the food delicious. We shall call again soon.

As usual a lovely delicious meal. Met two lovely new staff who were fantastic and served us like seasoned pros! My friend was very taken with what hopefully will become her new local when she moves to the area soon!

Thank you all for lovely evening Once again the food outstanding,so are the staff. Thank you for our free fizz and wonderful chocolates. Nathan we will miss your wonderful customer service which is second to none. We know you will be leaving the Lion in safe hands as all staff are trained to a high standard. Karen and Stewart

We called here for a Sunday lunch with friends while visiting the area for the weekend, it was all a very average and slightly disappointing experience. The Sunday roast was very anaemic and lacking in any flavour, it just needed more love and care, the very pale chewy roast potatoes with no flavour were absolutely the worst part accompanied by a small chewy Yorkshire and a small portion of dry meat and very very greasy gravy with fat floating all over, it was all ok enough to not complain. However equally very poor value for £22 and most people would make better at home; so for a meal out it's not what you expect. As a side note we were seated in the 'top bar' and service was extremely slow and the vibe was certainly a little cold and forgotten about, the bar was equally cold given the very cold weather out.

Excellent service, superb food (sorry we couldn't finish it all but we were all so stuffed!) And the singing of happy birthday over and above the call of duty. Thanks for warming our cockles on a freeeeezing day. We'll be back.

Have eaten here three times. The first time my husband said it was the best fish and chips he had ever tasted. The following visit three people ordered the same fish dish to find it undercooked and soggy. We gave it another try just before Christmas, most of the meals were ok but the Camembert wreath was appalling. The dough balls were cold, the smoked garlic on top cold, didn’t see rosemary or cranberries but the worst part was the Camembert it was overripe. We each took a fair mouthful to be confronted with the overwhelming smell of ammonia. It took a good 48 hours to get the smell out of my nose. I explained to the waitress what happens to Camembert when it is past it’s use by date and also complained to the gentleman who took payment but we were still charged, incredible really. Maybe a stock control error meant we ended up with an out of date cheese or maybe we weren’t the only complaints.

Utterly disappointed! Service lacked personal touch. Xmas dinner looked like it had been literally thrown on the plate and sloshed with thin gravy-would preferred in separate jug. Minimal veg, small amount of overcooked cabbage found buried under roast potato. Sausage to pig in blanket pink. There was no care, love or attention invested into the preparation and delivery of this meal. Based on this experience I will not recommend to others!

Lovely family meal. Food was really good, baked Camembert was a very good for sharing, Quiet atmosphere and prompt and friendly service.

Lovely atmosphere and staff. The meal was mostly enjoyable but ( although not a chef), My personal opinion the starter that I had, (potted crab and crayfish with brioche loaf),would have been much tastier if served with either crusty bread or toast. The brioche that it was served with tasted like cake and did nothing to enhance the flavours of crab and d crayfish . When I ate the rest of the starter without the brioche, oh what a difference. I chose the braised beef for my main. Again flavours were there but I felt it was let down by a lack of ( gravy, some sort of sauce?). Although it was served with what was described as sweet potato dauphinois there was certainly no creamy sauce in it. The meal was described as served with red wine gravy ( I think that may have been the little bit of ju that was around it). Unfortunately sucked up by everything around it as it was so dry ( when the waitress came to ask us if our meal was ok, I did say tasty but a little dry). I didn’t get a reaction.

Lovely, classic inn. Shame I didn’t get more time here. Great room with quality bedding and spacious bathroom with Arran Aromatics ‘After the Rain’ toiletries. Good evening meal delivered to my room as I was on my own but the pub itself looked fab.

Stayed two nights at this lovely restaurant with rooms in a comfortable and well appointed room with a view overlooking the River Teme. Shower was a bit cranky but that did not detract. Evening meal for six in the restaurant both nights was excellent, a good choice of dishes that pleased all tastes. Everything well prepared. Breakfast also very good although on Sunday morning the service was somwhat leisurely. Recommended for a short break with glorious countryside on the doorstep. Friendly and helpful staff.
