The Oak Inn Staplow in Herefordshire, County of

Great service, good food, although portions are huge 😊

This is a review for the accommodation. Positives: Friendly service, excellent breakfast Negatives : Room was very tired in need of refurbishment. Dirty carpet, cheap furniture etc. Lots of dust not properly cleaned Conclusion: although the pub is nice for food or a drink I won’t be staying overnight again. At £130 a night I expected a much better quality room

Fabulous food, great service. Probably the best pub food we have eaten, loved it. Well worth a visit.

We booked in for an evening meal with two other couples and two dogs and received a very warm welcome from the friendly staff. This is a dog friendly pub/restaurant serving excellent food and a good selection of ales. A nice cosy feel to the place on a chilly and wet evening in October. Even though the place was quite busy, the staff coped very well and we didn’t have to wait long for our food. My only negative point was the somewhat inadequate car park. It is in desperate need of some attention. There were potholes full of water everywhere, no lighting and unmarked parking spots. This was further compounded by what would appear to be a free for all approach to parking and poor parking by inconsiderate customers made it difficult to find a space to park. In saying all that, I would definitely recommend the Old Oak for a meal, or even a casual drink.

What a wonderful welcome we had at this pub. 6 of us met for lunch and all had the most amazing meals. Service was excellent, staff incredibly friendly and the portions generous, tasty and really good value. We’ll be coming back.

Today six of us had lunch at The Oak. This is a good place for lunch offering food to suit all tastes. Excellent starters, nicely presented mains with proper sized portions and a range of ice creams from the sweet menu that really taste of ice cream. There are plenty of staff: they work as a team and they really know what they’re doing. Not just that but you can actually see your meal being cooked. We total more than 500 years between the six of us and The Oak couldn’t have been more amenable, helpful and attentive - all with a sense of fun. Thank You!

Went for a meal tonight 20th September with my family.I had heard and read a lot of comments about The Oak.Well certainly the favourable reviews were spot on.Lovely friendly pub with a relaxed atmosphere and the food was excellent.Just a great place and will definitely come again.

I've never had a disappointing meal here. I highly recommend.

Very rare my wife and myself get to go out together, but when we do we always come here, always a friendly welcome, good food and warm atmosphere. I was also impressed by the young man who took our food order, my wife requested fries not chips with her steak and I had a good view of the kitchen I noticed he picked up our food, hesitated, then turned back and said steak with fries not chips! Just that little attention to detail makes all the difference. Google only allows 5 stars but I'm giving the oak 10+.

We had an excellent lunch with friends

Lovely staff, good atmosphere & hearty food ~ what’s not to love! Came here for a family dinner and I think it’s a new favourite :) this place has some good options for vegetarians.

Food was phenomenal. We had the Pork Belly and it was incredible, all three of us polished our plates off. Staff were lovely and welcoming. Will definitely be back.

We had a great few days staying at The Oak Inn. Room was fabulous and food was amazing, in fact, hubby had the trout 3 days out of the 4 days we eat there, it was so good. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, we highly recommend!

Didn't stay here, my partner and I met another couple here for a meal and catch up. Country location, parking, helpful, friendly staff, lovely food! We sat in a side room and as 2 of our party are quite deaf, this was great! Less noisy. They had several gluten free options for me, I had GF fish n chips! The batter was beautifully light and crisp! Would recommend for great food.

Friendly staff and delicious food. My husband is coeliac and he was so amazed by the gluten free fish and chips we returned the next day and ate it again. Thank you for making our holiday great!

Great food in a delightful place with lovely Staff 😃

Posting this review on behalf of our family friends, the Unterhalters: We stayed here for the night as we were going to a friend's garden party.We were greeted in such a friendly way and very kindly allowed to go into our room early. The room was lovely and spacious and the bed beautifully comfortable.We could not have wished for a better experience in a five star hotel! Lovely breakfast too! Thank you so much.

Very nice and friendly. Food is good . Sticky Pork Steak was not as expected ???, but I ate it..five in the party and we had a good night out

This a review for the pub, we didn’t stay in the rooms. We went for Sunday lunch (book in advance!), service was excellent with caring staff. You could tell they genuinely wanted us to have a good time but not in an overbearing way. It’s the best service I’ve had in a British restaurant in a long time! The pub itself is lovely, a typical country side pub with nice decor and lots of cosy rooms inside. Food was copious and excellent with your classic choices of Sunday lunch, however 7 different vegetables on the plate is not something you see very often! Wide choice of drinks but a couple of local real ales only, in great condition though (Ledbury Gold - excellent, and the usual Butty Bach). I know how hard it is for pubs to turn over cask ales so can’t blame them for going with the big guys that sell. I will definitely come back!

We just stopped off for lunch, and had a wonderful meal. Staff were friendly, professional and attentive. First time I passed it but will definitely pass it again and call in

Came for the roast and it was fantastic. Sleeper hit is the roast veg which was some of the best veg served with a roast I’ve ever had out. Prices for the 3 course were good as well at about £30. The roast looked so good as portions were great that I forgot to take a pic before I started eating so that’s the result you get. Apple and rhubarb crumble was great and the custard was fantastic.

We’ve just had a really lovely lunch at The Oak Inn, friendly staff, gorgeous pub garden and fabulous food. Great choice for both kids and adults, they couldn’t have been better, really recommend for families, dogs and kids!

We visited here for an evening meal with friends. The food was perfect. A great amount of choice, generous portions but not absolutely loaded plates, so you have room for the delicious sweets on offer. A lovely place with beautiful gardens. We would love to visit again.

Called for lunch, great service wonderful menu & locals welcoming.

Stopped here when out on the bike. Situated on a quiet road between Ledbury and Bromyard. Staff friendly and welcoming and lovely atmosphere. Really nice and clean inside. Plenty of parking. Plenty of seating inside and outside with nice sized beer garden. You can stay in van/ Motorhome or camper but all they ask is you use pub. The food is cooked fresh and go hungry as portions are a plenty. The food is really good and nice and hot. I personally couldn't find fault we already talked about going back. Definitely recommend and go again..

Absolutely fantastic food and service. We came for a drive and found this fantastic place and will definitely return .

I loved this well run, friendly pub. It was quiet and comfortable, even on a Friday night, and the room and breakfast were lovely.

The food was amazing, and the service was at the top, honestly, for a fantastic meal and great atmosphere, definitely visit

What an amazing country pub/restaurant. We just had a two night stay here and must leave this review for the staff and owners Chris and Heather. We were treated like friends and family, and the staff were all so friendly too. Our room was lovely and had everything you would need. We had room number two and nice view out over the country side. The food, well that was on another level. We have never had food served so hot we could not touch the plates, the quality and way it was served was 5 star. We went through a few different items off the menu and all were top quality produce and cooked perfect. Breakfast was the same. Chris set us up a lovely table for the England semi and we ate their. I have worked in the pub/restaurant trade over many years, and to see and experience this hospitality now a days is just amazing. Anothing thing we did notice, apart from the place being so busy even on a Tuesday and Wednesday night, was how Chris the owner was looking after all his locals who had came in to watch the game and made sure the loyalty was repaid by booking them in for the final on Sunday. That means alot now adays. We will be returning very soon. A big thank you again Chris and Heather for making our stay so enjoyable. Doug and Jenny, Birmingham👍

Went for a meal, have been before and was well satisfied. Sadly this time although the service was great. The menu and what we received ( the food) did not live up to our expectations.

Fabulous food - we went for Sunday lunch, and between us had the pork, beef, and pies, children and adults and they were all great. The staff were all lovely, and the fact that they really welcoming of our son with additional needs was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Best country pub in England!!! Wish it was our local. Warm and welcoming staff and food was beautiful. Dog friendly, even cooked sausages for the dogs. We will definitely be returning. Thank you!!! X

Thank you Oak Inn, needed a veggie friendly pub for a friends get together. In particular our veggie friend had a choice of disk. We all had a great night, everyone was happy. Service excellent, food excellent and relaxed atmosphere.

Extremely friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Very efficient & attentive. Food was beautifully cooked. Will definitely be returning and definitely would recommend, you won’t be disappointed, with a good choice of menu!

Dog friendly, people friendly pub with a great atmosphere. Had Sunday lunch for four and we all agreed the food was well prepared, well cooked and most of all tasted delicious. Will definitely be back. Thank you for looking after us so well. Cheers

We decided to go to The Oak Inn at Staplow for an early drink and dinner last night. Once more, we were welcomed, settled in, received great service and of course wonderful food. Thanks to all.

I love The Oak, the staff are amazing, friendly, polite, accommodating and make you feel incredibly welcome. Food is out if this world, so pleased to have it within a few miles. Lovely place, great spaces, delightful garden, and excellent beer, cider AND wine!

Went for my Mom's Birthday on a sunday evening food and service was excellent. They allow dogs which is a bonus. Will definitely be returning.

Food good and plentiful but very very noisy! Friendly staff.

Stumbled on this pub while having to divert around closed roads near the Malverns, and what a great divert as we stopped for lunch here on the off chance. Fantastic food, the BBQ ribs were outstanding, and staff were so friendly, lovely and accommodating. If you're nearby, definitely look this place up!

Stopped for lunch today and had 2 lovely meals, fish and chips and ham, eggs and chips. Both excellent

A really friendly welcome for us and our dog. Delicious dinner and excellent service. Thank you! X

The fact that you need to book and that it's busy every day speaks volumes. Best pub I'm Herefordshire. Lovely team.

Popped in the off chance, just 2 of us, they were busy but were very friendly and managed to get us seated. The fodd came fast and was delicious and everyone there seemed energetic and happy. What a pleasure.

Excellent food, friendly staff,good beer and reasonable prices what more can you want.

The Oak used to be my local years ago.Came here for a light lunch on Boxing day last year which was lovely.Back today with a friend for lunch, really good food, service and atmosphere.Will be back soon. Catharine 😊

Went for Sunday lunch table of 8, meat not edible really fatty, some veg hardly cooked. And roast luke warm and that’s being kind. Shame we’ve eaten there lots of times, staff were lovely as usual, apparently the normal chef was away on holiday so we will try again. Just disappointing for the wife’s birthday.

Fabulous I can see why they won award, I have to say they are all the friendliest and most welcoming people we have met, and the food doesn't let it down varied menu and very good value, I don't normally have pie when eating out but glad I did , well presented with a puff pastry top, mash was lovely and the fish and chips are good the batter perfect not to thick, I would maybe say a pea crush or something like it would make it better and maybe consider a small curry sauce ( a local pub near us does little pots of homemade curry and tartar sauce, just an idea to make it a little different), but all very good, thank you.

Stayed over in room 2 this weekend, nice room, clean and fantastic views, food was beautiful and drinks were reasonably priced, nice people, hope to you again, many thanks

Good food, good service, nice atmosphere, busy. Sunday roasts eaten, but no crackling with the pork.

Beer not good. How often do you have a real ale and think that it isn't right, but not sure so you put up with it? Meal with friends no better than ok. Bœuf bourguignon disappointing. The mix of mash potatoes and horseradish was weird and for me distasteful. My wife had a soggy pastry pie. Quite expensive food but mediocre.

First meal there. Lovely grub and friendly staff. Will definitely go back. I recommend the game 🥧.

Fab meal and great service yet again. Great stop off after a Malvern theatre play. Highly recommend. Thank you.

My wife and I visited here recently. The food and ale were superb, and the staff were very attentive. Its certainly worth a visit, and we will definitely go back.

Simply the best sunday roast ever

Beautiful pub serving delicious food. Plenty of parking as well.

Great little gem of a country pub. Great service, friendly happy atmosphere. Good food. Fair pricing. Highly recommend.

Rang up to see if they’d have a table as our Air BNb lost power all day and food was spoiled. They said they’d have a table for us all night. Turned up at eight and they knew straight away who we were without asking and took us somewhere out the way with our husky. Extremely friendly, food service was fast and the food itself was incredible. Really homely enviornment , stopping to make conversation, and genuinely interested. Really cared and made a wonderful effort to us. Best restaurant / pub food I have ever had! Even the dog had ice cream and I’ve never seen him so happy and calm. Very reasonably priced cannot fault them on anything. Will definitely come back if ever in the area. I also do mystery shopping and they would have got the best result possible. Thank you to you all for ending our little trip away for my birthday on a high after a disaster at our accommodation
