The Maidenhead in Herefordshire, County of

We have wanted to visit this place for some time as we frequently pass through the village, today we did. What a lovely village pub . A superb outside area , including a beautiful grassed area for children to play . The staff were welcoming and friendly engaging in conversation. So nice to see happy staff. THE FOOD. As the sun was out we ate outside , I had the beef and it was amazing a fantastic Sunday roast , I’m still thinking about it as I write this, so some impact on the taste buds.

Stumbled across the Maidenhead by more luck than judgement. We are so so thankful we did !! Staying 2 miles away, for a break with the wife we wanted a nice, relaxed meal out and boy did we get it !! From the moment of arrival to the second we stepped out the door we were welcomed, catered for and treated amazingly. Food was perfect !! Drinks exactly what we wanted, and for a Monday the atmosphere relaxed, yet full of banter. I certainly recommend the Maidenhead, and will return asap !!

Super friendly small pub, we broke down a couple miles down the road and walked here to wait for recovery. Great selection of drinks and a warm fire. The food had ended by the time we arrived but the owner put the fryers on and made us some complimentary chips to keep us warm! Amazing service and if we are ever in the area again will definitely be stopping for a meal!

Great food and friendly staff. Reasonable priced beer good. The food was excellent new chef trying different menu.Going back soon they have Motown night coming up.

Over priced largely bought in food served in miserly portions. Not the most welcoming bar staff. Very disappointed. I am reasonably local and wouldn’t go back. There are many good pubs in the same area offering a much better experience.

Very little soup to start for the price we paid. Beetroot and goats cheese tart was obviously bought in and there was more rocket than tart. Chicken supreme with spinach and wild mushroom was very dry and not much sauce or mushroom. Tiny apple crumble for the price. I asked for a coffee liqueur which the waitress didn’t know what I was talking about not her fault she had not been trained. It came in a cup with the coffee taken out of a machine which was tasteless, couldn’t taste the liqueur and was drowned with cream. Disappointing experience for the prices they are asking for.

We visited the Maidenhead more or less by accident. We were staying at nearby Ludlow, and were out on our bikes, and the seat had become loose. We stopped for a drink and the landlord and his staff couldn't have been more helpful, taking time to find us a Hex key of the right size to tighten up the seat. We felt a bit guilty having only expended £3.70, on a half of beer and a lime and soda, so returned next evening with our non cycling friends for our evening meal. We found the service a bit stretched, it appeared that there was a party of schoolchildren and parents. The food was of a very good standard, with a decent choice, but to say exceptional might just be slightly overstating. The Maidenhead has plentiful parking, and a nice beer garden. We would certainly return. The overall impression is of the staff trying hard to please. Lastly, and importantly for the writer, the real ales were well kept.

Standard pub grub which was tasty. Nice seating area outside with pretty hanging baskets. Separate lawn area at back. Quite a lot of parking.

Miserable woman showed us to table. No conversation whatsoever. I assume she was the Landlady, needs some schooling in sociability. Really let the place down, because lunch was very good. What a great shame.

Called on the off chance on the way home to try for Sunday Lunch, they fitted us in, sat in the sunshine in the lovely beer garden (with some shade) Lovely roast, really tasty, nicely presented followed by a delicious strawberry cheesecake! Had a look at the weekly menu....great choices and well priced so we will be back! Service was excellent lovely young lady with the most amazing plaited hair(didn't get your name)

Probably the worst Sunday lunch I've ever had Young lovely staff but unfortunately no idea A landlord whom would rather get drink and watch football than be concerned about people that are eating in the restaurant . Dirty knives and Forks , cold food etc etc We have been before and met the chef , lovely experience , This time was probably the worst .

We go out all the time and this little gem was perfect The food was amazing best roast dinner I have had around Herefordshire, thanks to the Chef and Emma who was just a delight to talk to. We will definately be back. Thank you

Superb pub . Friendly staff and good choice of beer . Lovely wood burner and pub was warm on a cold day . We were staying at NT Croft Castle and the pub was a short distance from there . Great sitting out area and garden for warmer days . Would highly recommend .

I haven't visited this venue in many years, but will certainly be happy to return again soon. The meal I chose was really delicious and everyone in our group cleared our plates! The staff were friendly and service good. Thank you!

The worst Sunday lunch I’ve had in a long time. 2 meagre slices of dry pork, floppy crackling with no crackle at all, roast potatoes like bullets, tasteless veg and insipid gravy. Followed by apple crumble that was 90% crumble. No way I’ll be returning after that extremely disappointing experience. Staff were nice, hence the generous 2 stars.

Second time eaten here yesterday and again standard of food was not expectable. We stay simple and we both had Gammon ,first peace swimming in fat and not cooked. Also I said no Fried egg and swimming in fat it was disgusting, I tried to soak it up with my napkin. The pineapple was on the turn and tasted off. My husband gammon was mostly fat. They changed my gammon and chef must of beat it to deaf, was as flat as a pancake and dry as a bone and extremely tuff. We Could not enjoy are food and extremely very disappointed ,after giving them a 2 chance now this is my last time I will go there. I am sick to the back teeth the standards of cooks since Covid. It’s like they are not qualified and restaurants are trying to get cheap chefs , And don’t care of standards or quality of there reputation.such a shame we are local and will not be recommending.

Family gathering of 8 for lunch.on a Saturday. Excellent service and food quality all produced efficiently with big smiles. Fantastic lunch and drinks menu. Thank you again for a great value venue.

Emailed in advance to book, very helpul as we had a small dog with us. When we arrived we chose to sit outside as the weather was good & the outside eating area was very nice. Good service, very polite & helpful. Sunday lunch was excellent. Good value for money. We would definitely return.

We tried this establishment for lunch and found it to be welcoming if a bit ordinary. The fish and chips was of large proportions and well cooked and at reasonable price considering some of the local competition. The bitter was brewed locally and was very good. If we were in the area again we would certainly consider having another meal here.

Evening meal on spec, no booking, excellent food with brilliant staff lovely meal to end the day. We will be back. Good menu choice and brilliantly presented.
