the nest in Herefordshire, County of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Hurray! Was very pleasantly surprised to see cheese and chive scones available again. We love them. Had a nice chat with the lady chef and she explained why they had been an interruption in supply. Service is much more attentive now and the coffee is extremely good. We walked part of this fabulous site which is populated by rows of soft fruit trees, unspoilt woodland and wild nature. My grandson loved it. I would highly recommend a visit, by young and old alike. David Wall

Love the Nest and the garden centre is superb as are staff, but why can’t the chef cook a decent price of bacon !? It’s routinely undercooked and fatty. It’s never cooked fresh and clearly has been sat sweating in a warm tray. I had the French toast with bacon and it was quite simply unappetising. Other meals wirh bacon the same. I like the place but won’t touch the breakfast for this reason. Focus on basics.

As others have said in their reviews, it really has gone downhill regards the food and service. The bacon is served I would say undercooked, just shown the pan briefly, toast is never toasted we always have to either send it back to be shown the grill properly or we ask for it to be well toasted when we order knowing what it’s like. The wait time is ridiculous! If I was the owner I would be looking at the chief!! The only positive is the nice environment, dog friendly and the garden centre next door.

Having been coming here once every couple of months for as long as it has been open, food always very good. Have noticed over the last few visits that the service is getting slower and slower and definitely lacks organisation- I work in this industry so I fully appreciate its complexities. This weekends visit was the slowest it has ever been, a 20 minute wait for 2 takeaway coffees, we were the only ones in the take away Q. Later after a walk and a trip to the plant centre we waited 45 minutes for 2 portions of quiche and salad. The coffee and the food are excellent, yes you have increased your prices but who hasn’t- you have to make a profit and margins are very very tight these days. What is really letting you down at the moment is the service, you have a friendly young team but they do need organising.

Was very impressed by their cheese and chive scones at 2 recent visits last month. Sadly, no cheese and chive scones available at our last 2 visits, which was a big disappointment. Not the end of the world but would have been nice to see them on the counter today. Alas no. Will probably give you a miss for a few weeks and check you have them before going next time. Otherwise the site and overall experience is very good. But still disappointed today.

Cake was rock hard.. obviously been baked and kept in the freezer. Coffee was rank. Service was ok. Lots of eyes in the shop following you around too! Chef behind the counter in whites instead of out back in the kitchen.. far too busy chatting instead of serving so left without items I wanted.

Stopped off on the way home from a holiday for a quick bite- we shared the charcuterie board and it was lovely! Filling as well as tasty!

The most amazing breakfast, 4 of us went there & got a lot more than we bargained for. A wonderful experience. Will be back!

Great place to meet friends with ample free parking and shopping too! Nice fresh quiche and salad but disappointed many items on menu weren’t available.

Whilst I can’t fault the food or service, I do take exception to the free roaming very friendly dogs which clearly live onsite. Not only did they check out if we had anything for them to eat , when other dogs (not on leads) came in with their owners there was a free for all perfectly acceptable in a park not next to me while I’m eating a cake.

Called in for a coffee and a cake, The cake was rock hard you had to chew before you could swallow, I found the prices really expensive you wouldn’t won’t to take a family of four to eat here, It was clean and the staff friendly, But sorry very expensive.

Very poor service waited so long and no apology left to eat elsewhere after only part of the order arrived.

Lovely place to come for lunch or a coffee and cake. Imaginative lunch menu and fabulous cakes - I can never manage both!! It's always busy when we call and nice to know it's dog friendly too. We come here first and then usually have a potter round the garden centre next door which has some interesting and unusual plants.

The menu seemed to have become far more varied and therefore more appealing to us. Burgers very good. Service pleasant and helpful. Walks delightful and very well maintained. Outside toilets seemed to have been upgraded. Really enjoyable visit on beautiful day.

A nice place for a relaxing stop, particularly if the weather's nice and you can sit outside at the back. Food and coffee are good, but a bit pricey. Annoying that you can't order without a table number if you sit inside; although they probably do this as the eating areas are separate (in the summer at least).

Just had a really lovely lunch, coffee and cakes. Great service (thanks for being so helpful Phil) and delicious food. All very reasonably priced and a great little walk around the grounds with the dog afterwards.

Coffee and cake at The Nest today. I’m a regular at The Nest and everything is always great there but today I had the best cake I’ve ever eaten in my life (and I’ve eaten a few as I’m a cakeaholic!) The cake in question is a delicious lemon and blueberry sponge.! Lovely tart lemon and blueberry balancing perfectly with the sweet-but-not-too-sweet cream cheese topping! The lovely lady who made it deserves a Hollywood Handshake. My first trip advisor review - that’s how good it is. Go try it!

The cafe tables were really dirty, we asked for them to be cleaned but they only did half a job! Didn't really want to sit at the table, let alone eat there! It seemed very grubby for a place that serves nice food.

Came for breakfast and probably one of the finest full English we have had. Everything was served to perfection the sausages, black pudding and bacon were so tasty and the scrambled eggs the best ever. All the staff were cheerful polite and helpful. Certainly would recommend this without hesitation. The only downside for us is that we were only in Herefordshire for the weekend visiting family otherwise we wound certainly come here more often. Thank you for a great meal and service 😊

This is the first time we have tried this cafe & we certainly were not disappointed, we will be returning. Next time we are in the area for sure. From the moment we entered the cafe to the time we left the staff were friendly & efficient. We had the full English breakfasts, very generous portions & excellent quality ingredients which were cook3d to perfection. I especially liked the bacon & home made beans. I had a coffee & my other half she had a hot chocolate which were also excellent. Due to the breakfast size portion my other half struggled to eat all of hers, so I had to step in, not that I minded, but may be worth considering a smaller size breakfast for those that prefer a less hearty feast. All in all a great experience & look forward to a repeat performance soon.

Coffee was great, however my "smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast" was poor due to the fact it wasn't smoked salmon it was tinned salmon. It wasn't cheap either!!!

Stopped by for a light bite today only to find the original quirky cafe layout had changed from the interesting to the mundane. Internally bland seating arrangements with no windows and the odd dog bowl trip hazard awaits the unwary. Ordered two toasties at £8.95...

Went to the birds nest today service very slow over 40 mins wait for egg on toast the toast was rock hard it has gone down hill from when we went last time very disappointed.

Having read recent reviews we nearly didn’t visit The Nest but I am so glad we did. The staff were welcoming, friendly, efficient and couldn’t have tried any harder to please us. The drinks order was delivered quickly and the meals were not far behind....

Sadly the Nest, which we have used many times in the past, is a victim of it's own success, succumbing to greed and complacency. It has expanded massively into a tin shed, which even in summer was cold. The worst part though was the very...

Lovely lunch . friendly staff.. only one thing to say my coffee mocha was more like a hot chocolate and not very hot. But otherwise nice to go back after lock down

The decor and style, the attentive waiting staff and of course the food are all to the Nest’s cafes credit. It’s different, comfortable and unique. The upscale shabby chic decor is great. Not to mention the superb Spotify play list which we thoroughly enjoyed. Highly...

Friends and I used to visit The Nest regularly. When the restaurant was positioned at the front of the establishment, it was easily accessed. Sadly now the restaurant has been moved to what appears to be an old shed at the rear. Access is very...

Called in as passing and had coffee and a bacon sandwich. I requested the bacon to be cooked crispy on granary bread it arrived limp on stodgy bread and the bacon was mainly fatty. This was served with a few leaves and a small dish...

Great spot with parking, Dog friendly too. Reasonable price brunch and was cooked perfectly. It was rather chilly sat in the cafe but it was November and blankets are provided. The quirky layout made it magical. The only criticism would be because there is soo...

So reassuring to see the selfless and caring cafe staff wearing masks. This demonstration of consideration for customers is much appreciated and it will encourage me to call in again soon.

My Daughter and Daughter in Law held their wedding and reception here. It was a perfect fairytale marriage in the wood clearing and the cosy bespoke reception was just amazing. The catering was sublime, all the guests complimented it. The staff went out of their...

In the last few months this cafe has been expanded. There is now a long walk with uneven wood shaving surfaces and wobbly floorboards just to get to the cafe. This was too much for my disabled elderly mother who used to enjoy regular trips...

Great food and great service. We loved the setting. The cafe is really charming with an eclectic mix of furniture. Check out the orchard if you get an opportunity.

My mum's first trip for a meal out for 6 months. A very pleasant room open to the orchards with friendly, prompt service and lovely freshly cooked food. We felt completely at home in a very informal atmosphere. Aldo bought cakes and scotch eggs to...

We have always enjoyed visiting this garden centre, and combine it with coffee and cake next door in the Nest. However about ten days ago we decided to have lunch a bacon butty(£6) for one and a Welsh rarebit for the other. The Bacon Butty...

We have been to the nest before lockdown and loved it visited today for the first time in a year, and still loved it . Being a bank holiday and a sunny one at that. It was rather busy in the new cafe at the back. But the girls were very welcoming and seated us promptly . The garden area was busy so we sat inside, we were told there was a wait for food but that was understandable with how busy it was. Ordered drinks and food and everything was delicious. Service was excellent.

Visited a couple of days ago extremely disappointed we have visited many times over the last 10 yrs even for takeaway during lockdown what I experienced the other day whilst visiting the garden centre was a huge letdown! I walked with my husband around the...

We have been calling in to the Nest for a number of years (when in the area visiting dad) and rated it 5 stars previously. Nice ambiance, quirky interior, excellent service, really generous, tasty portions and good coffee. We have always really looked forward to...

Perhaps it is the pandemic but some staff seem to believe that service without a smile is the way forward . In addition £11.60 for a small loaf of ‘ artisan bread’ a small piece of cheese and a scotch egg from the Deli wiped the smile off my face as well.

Sadly after support the Nest throughout theFirst Second lockdown happy to sit outside today a group of us cyclists visited once we had gone outside to drink and eat a member of staff came out to say you can’t sit under the umbrella we had to go in orchard in heavy rain with no cover even though no one else was outside . I won’t be supporting you again

A group of us visited for coffee and cake during a cycle ride. After placing our orders inside we went outside to sit under the umbrellas to eat and drink, a member of staff came out to explain we were not allowed to sit outside on these tables but had to move to the orchard and the wet seats in the rain. The outside area was not busy, almost everyone else was under cover. This all seemed a bit crazy and unwelcoming, so I sat and finished my cake, which was good, and my flat white which was rubbish. I should have suspected something was wrong when I saw three different coffee types being made from the same jug of milk. Based on my experience today, I can’t recommend the Nest, but maybe a dose of common sense and some coffee training would fix that

Amazing atmosphere and homemade/boutique products. Scotch eggs are amazing. Nice coffee, great cakes.

This little place has everything. A lovely cafe, deli, shop and space to walk your dogs. Produce is local or made by the company and the staff are really friendly! Always a favourite.

I arrived after they had just closed, the lady was so lovely and served me the homemade soup I had travelled from Hereford to buy. The food is fantastic quality and they sell lovely items through out the shop and garden centre.

Called in for a cup of tea with a friend. I was asked if we lived together. I said no, and was told we would have to sit outside . Why???. Anyway, the weather was cold so we left.

We stopped for a quick coffee, some food and a short walk. The food was ridiculously overpriced for what it was: a piece if overcooked bacon, cold Brie and a tiny blob of cranberry put between two slices of cheap white bread for £6! Unbelievable. That’s just one of the meals, the other two were equally awful. Not only that, the coffees were expensive and cold! Will not be visiting this garden centre / cafe again when there are far better ones in the surrounding area.

I have been ordering 6 veg boxes a week since March for raffle prizes, the contents are excellent, fresh, locally sourced and the staff are absolutely fantastic.

... other than to suggest that sometimes you reap what you sow. We’ve been to The Nest a couple of times since lockdown and had an excellent experience... different than before but still excellent. Maybe that’s the point... we just can’t expect to wander in when it suits us and be accommodated in the same way as we may have been before... these poor guys need to keep table gaps, do extra cleaning and phase seating in order to protect us customers from ourselves. So we need to play by the rules and help them to provide us with the decent experience they want to provide.So, after a couple of great recent visits we chose to have brunch at The Nest today before lockdown phase 2. We rang up yesterday to book a table... because that’s what they ask you to do to be sure if getting one. All efficiently sorted. Upon arrival today we were taken to our table by a pleasant young lady who returned soon after to take our order. Food and drink delivered with no real delay despite the place being quite busy... we were clearly not the only ones to have decided to visit before our incarceration. Our meals were really good and tasty... as usual. My coffee had flavour without bitterness and the accompanying biscuit was really good.Attentive service, good food and drink, pleasant location... can’t wait for lockdown to end so that we can start going again. In the meantime, will probably try out their takeaway offering whilst recognising the limitations placed upon them by the current circumstances. Good work guys, take care!

We are fairly regular visitors to Newent Garden Centre, which is just next door to The Nest-It was Sunday Morning 10.20am having made our purchases in the garden Centre we decided to stop off at the Nest for coffee and cakes. With very few people seated possibly 6 out of the advertised 74 covers we asked for a table , Have you booked was the reply-Booked for coffee and cakes? I had one of those Fawlty Towers moments, but there's nobody here! oh we are fully booked was the reply! We can fit you in at 11.30, 80 minutes away-I have to admit looking around I roared with laughter-Oh no thanks I know of a very nice place in Ledbury where they might not be so busy-So I put the money back in my pocket and left.We recently travelled the length of France and the service in cafes and restaurants even in these stressful times is superb, the customer is king-sadly not in the Nest.

We were recommended The Nest at Newent Plant Centre by the owners of our holiday cottage and we were not disappointed. We each had cooked breakfast (eggs, pancetta on toast and I added mushrooms) with tea and coffee respectively. It was fabulous! Really special. Very well set up for current covid restrictions, too: sanitisation, spacing, etc.Thank you - highly recommended!

Living only a couple of miles away, we used to love popping in to The Nest for coffee and a nibble, but today, for the first time ever, we didn't feel welcome. We were the only customers there (it was 9am), but we were treated as if the place was packed - we were directed to sit at a particular table (no 10) the location of which we didn't like, so we chose to move to one by the window. My husband was told (in an officious manner) to put on a mask - which he did - as we walked the 5m from the entrance gate to the table because of "the new rules that came out this week" which is not true - the gov.uk website states "Face coverings are not required in restaurants with table service, bars and pubs." The staff member returned to our table no fewer than 4 times in the short time we were there to ask whether our toast was OK/whether we needed anything/whether she could get us some more drinks/whether we were ready to pay - each time without a single smile ...it wasn't solicitous, and made us feel as if we were somehow in the way. Such a shame. It was actually quite upsetting, and we won't be back any time soon. PS I've only just see the recent reviews that echo mine ... good to know it's not just us:-)

My friend and I came today for only the second time what a lovely little place . Plenty of parking, we came for lunch at which the girl took our details as we hadn't booked she took us to our seats and explained the specials and gave us menus. The coffees were lovely and hot . The food was great, the service was quick and friendly, even though was quite busy. We were offered the cake board after food but we were so full (next time) . Didn't make it to the shop this time, overall the food and drinks were great and the service was very friendly a d welcoming .

I have visited here 4 times since lockdown has lifted and on each occasion I have had the same experience - downright rude, unfriendly and unhelpful staff! You get told off for going the wrong way and doing things the wrong way (when it’s not evident what the right way is) and there are no smiles or friendliness at all from the older front of house members of staff. The younger ones are far better in my opinion - the owner would be far better off having them as front of house rather than the dragons that appear to be in charge. The cakes are generally delicious and I could forgive a shambolic and disorganised experience if there was a sense of friendliness from the place, but I’ve come to the conclusion that customers are viewed as an inconvenience. So I am no longer be willing to part with 13 quid for 4 slices of cake and a small bottle of lemonade at The Nest and will take my custom elsewhere...

Like the previous writer we have been to the Nest more times than I can remember and given good reviews in the last. How that has changed twice in the last two weeks we have gone to be ignored totally. First time after waiting and then attracting the attention of one of the staff I was given the runaround to eventually be told they were only doing take away. Give them the benefit of the doubt perhaps a bad day but again totally ignored and so for a second time we left dissatisfied. We have been customers since the Nest opened and prior to that the Egg Shed where the scotch eggs are made. Taking that into account and the fact we have had several conversations with the owners over the years I thought I would send an email giving some feedback so the matters could be addressed. They didn’t even have the courtesy to reply. Businesses with this type of attitude do not deserve to be in business so will I go back, no and I would not recommend this establishment to anyone

For sometime this has been a favourite place for good coffee. The new outdoor covered area is an excellent facility during these difficult times.We have always been well treated, politely and quickly served until our last visit. On this occasion we were curtly told as we had not booked we could not be served coffee although only two of the several outside tables were occupied. We said we would only staying a short period and were prepared to go if a table that had been booked was required, very reluctantly were given a table and told there would be a wait for our coffee. The coffee was of the usual high standard 5*, however the service was distinctly cold and unfriendly. A number of other potential customers were turned away (just walking back to their cars) although there was clearly ample outdoor seating. If you do not wish to just serve coffee this should be clearly stated, rather than the pretence of having to book.We shall hope for better treatment on our next visit or it will be our last.

Fast service and friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Added bonus of a garden centre attached. Car park a touch small at busy times

We booked here in August and had a nice breakfast, the service was fine, a little slow, but I think this was due to Covid situation, there is also a lovely shop. The menu is more aimed at Adults that kids, but we had seen that before we went.

This was our first outing after lockdown and we were a bit nervous. However there was no need, they've got it cracked. They are using the area at the front of the usual restaurant, this has been extended and named the Veranda - it is all under cover but open at the sides. We had booked and were taken to our table when we arrived - all safely distanced. We had a paper menu each which was thrown away afterwards. The specials were on a blackboard which was brought to near our table. When our food arrived it was brought, covered, on a tray. The cover was removed and we took our plates off the tray. All very safe. The food was of the usual high standard. We will be happy to return.

This was our first outing to an eating place since the lockdown. The owners have made a special effort by extending the outside veranda to accommodate about 8 to 9 tables. One has to book in advance and pay a deposit. The food and the welcome was as good as ever and with our daughter and 3 grandchildren we felt perfectly safe. Thankyou The Nest for a lovely lunch, very special scotch eggs, and an enjoyable afternoon.

Visited yesterday understood there had to be guidelines which when explained were a little confusing and disjointed frustrated when told should have selected shopping from the deli etc before queuing to order food- queue was really long with people queuing for food We did want to order food but such a hot day didn’t want food from deli to be out of refrigeration! Think there should be a separate till for farm shop! Food arrived very promptly although queued some time to order sandwich scotch egg salad lovely - pecan loaf was disgusting was given an end piece which I believe was the last piece which I struggled to break in half looks like it had been hanging around for quite some time! Didn’t complain as wasn’t prepared to have to stand in the queue again perhaps there should be 2 people serving at the till and 1 less walking around with cardboard boxes! On the other hand the orchard was beautiful we sat under a damson tree with our dog enjoying the sun will return but please look at the quality of cake or colleagues digression as to what’s an acceptable standard to serve !

After working at the hospital all morning treated my 4 year old daughter to an ice cream at the nest. We were both more than 2 metres away, had masks, gloves....unlike the member of staff who came out looked at us as though we were dirt, shooed my little girl away and barked at her ‘get back’. My daughter cried and asked what she’d done wrong. When I complained I got no apology just an excuse that it was a hot day. Used to go to so many events at the nest and support them. Never again. This isn’t the first time I’ve had miserable staff but it will be the last.

I often eat here at lunchtime with a friend or my daughter. The food is always fresh and tasty. Lots of lovely produce to buy too.

Went with a group of friends and was pleasantly surprised as despite living near by I’d never visited the nest before ! Lovely tables, drink and cake selection and even a water station in which to help yourself. Very rustic and warm with various art pieces. Will be back ! :)

We weren’t expecting to have tapas when we arrived for lunch, in the depths of Herefordshire, but wanting to taste a range of the scotch eggs the Spanish tapas theme, hit the mark. Well complemented with chutney, pesto and coleslaw, we really enjoyed our meal. Finishing with a more traditional cake and coffee, rounded things off nicely.

Me and my wife eat here regularly because it is unpretentious, friendly and welcoming. The food and drink is where possible locally sourced (Herefordshire) and nicely presented always with a smile from the staff. We thinks it is great value and also very importantly dog friendly. Whilst there we invariably buy from goods from the farm shop and visit the excellent Newent Plant Centre immediately next door.

Yet another wonderful lunch at The Nest. Lovely festive atmosphere and doggie friendly. Tasty good quality locally sourced food.

1st visit to this garden centre and cafe - the coffee was superb and a huge slice of chocolate spinge which was probably the lightest I have ever had. First class service.

Visited the Nest on Saturday and enjoyed a lovely coffee with friends followed by a browse through the farm shop where we were spoiled for choice by the wonderful array of local produce and foodstuffs. Bought some of the exquisite macarons for presents. All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming- it is clearly a pleasure to work there.

Having previously been to the best on many occasions and had beautiful food, this last time was dreadful. It’s such a shame to see it cutting corners like this. I ordered a salad that I shears had and that used to be abundant with roasted veg, salmon, seeds, coleslaw & leaves. This last visit I received a bowl of leaves and some salmon flopped on top for £8.95. No coleslaw or seeds roasted veg. When I told the waitress she was rude & unhelpful and begrudgingly brought over a small pot of coleslaw. My husband ordered a Welsh rarebit which was soggy and mushy like it had been done in the microwave. Dreadful food now at high prices with rude staff. I’ll no longer be a patron of the the nest! Go to the malthouse in Ledbury for good food!

We love this place, casual and quirky. Unfortunately I’m unable to eat eggs and find unless I have a sandwich/toastie, soup or salad I don’t have much choice. I use to love the salads but they are now mixed up in a bowl which I have tried but would rather it was laid out in a plate like it used to be. Having said that my husband loves anything “eggy” so no complaints there. This is my personal dislike but please could we have a “plated” portioned salad like it was before.

This place has grown so much over the last 5 years, the restaurant has really expanded so much. The salads are really quite good and very good value for the price, as are the home made scotch eggs, the menu is quite extensive so something for everyone.The Nest also has a deli section which to be fair sells some quite good produce, they also sell Peter Cooks bread, a local bakery, this is where the Nest lets itself down, a few times twice now I have bought bread assuming that it was fresh that day only to find when arriving back home that this is not the case. Peters bread keeps very well for a few days once bought so if the Nest want to sell bread that is not fresh that day I do think they should make the purchaser aware that it is not fresh bread of the day and price the bread accordingly.

This is one of my regular places to visit for brunch, lunch or tea and it never fails to deliver despite expanding and getting busier. They have a great orchard to walk the dog and you can take your dog in if its good. Staff are amazing and the best coffee around.

By and large the service was lovely, only one woman was a bit off, but the rest were lovely and it speaks volumes that there was a 'rest' that there was a good amount of staff so food came quickly. The food was good and the restaurant is quirky with a good atmosphere.

Popped in for a Saturday lunch. Couldn't resist the handmade scotch eggs (blackwatch) is a particular favourite. Excellent service. Great to be able to buy the cafe items in the shop to take home as well.

Me and my mum went to the best for breakfast! Amazing quality of food and service. Everyone was very helpful and service with a smile. Will be back!

My son and I had breakfast this morning, the quality of the food was excellent along with the polite attentive staff who although busy made it their priority that we were happy throughout out visit! This continued into the shop where staff again were extremely helpful and obliging! Well done all at The Nest, I cant recommend you all highly enough.

..... please can you come into the 21st Century and get rid of the £5.00 card limit? Food is Great. Staff are great. Atmosphere is great, but we don’t all want to spend a fortune.

Excellent evening in the unique setting of the yurt in the garden of the Nest. Beautifully prepared food. All delicious with the best tastes and best value dinner we've had in a very long time.

My partner and I visited The Nest for the first time yesterday as we have 2 x 9-week old Goldendoodle puppies and heard it was dog friendly. We wanted to socialise the pups around people and we couldn't have found a better place to have a coffee and carrot cake. The carrot cake was huge and very moist and the frosting on top was at least half an inch thick. It was the best carrot cake we have ever eaten. The capuccino coffee was wonderful and I'd love to know what coffee they use. It was hot and frothy with chocolate sprinkled on top and even a biscuit on the side. The lovely young girl who served us noticed our puppies and asked if they'd like a drink of water and a large bowl of water for them was brought out. She even brought over a chair to rest it on to save me having to hold the bowl. None of which was requested by us so a very thoughtful young lady. The service was quick and we can't wait go back again.

A quirky restaurant with a warm welcome, ordered egg on toast , unfortunately a huge portion on a cold plate, yuk! Nice coffee though.

Afree reading excellent reviews decided to call in on our way home. Well it was extremely average. A scotch egg is a scotch egg whether it come from asda or this little cafe. Expensive fir what I had and certainly nothing special. The owner thinks everybody will adore it a bit like jeremy Corbin. Boris forever love boris. Anyway a touch of champagne socialists seem to running this cafe.

We stopped here for a snack on our way home from a short break in North Wales. They had a choice of gluten free cake but, on that particular day, did not have anything that was gluten AND dairy free for which they apologised. However, they went out of their way to find something for me and I had toast and honey and they had soya milk for my pot of tea. Other people were eating lunch around us and the food looked excellent.. Would definitely recommend The Nest as the staff went out of their way to be helpful, there was a good gluten free choice of food and the food that I saw others eating looked fabulous.

Very disappointed ordered salad which took 35 minutes to arrive and was not very appetising unlikely to return

I have been a customer at the Nest for many years, and used to enjoy it a lot. However, I have noticed that the prices have risen and the quality of the food has deteriorated. It all smacks of cutting corners. The final straw came today a mistaken order was argued with, and the owner of the shop refusing to offer a refund (For £8!!), in front of all the other customers.

A good cafe serving drinks and cakes as well as the Real Scotch Egg Company salads (the Scotch eggs are made on site).

This is a regular haunt for my partner and I when in or near to Ledbury. Called in on a Sunday, later in the afternoon. Tried the veggie Tapas, which consisted of breads, anti pasti, quiche, salad and slaw - very filling indeed and all washed down with some fine Trumpers tea, a large pot! Nice vibrant environment, busy but not overwhelming. Oh and of course there is the garden centre, shop, and an array of other attractions. Well worth a visit. Parking available.

We stopped for lunch. I had a sage and onion scotch egg and salad, my son had a warm, freshly made sausage roll also with salad. Delicious. We both finished our plates. A good pot of tea and all at a reasonable price. A lovely deli to look round and buy presents to take home
