The Roadmaker Inn in Herefordshire, County of

Excellent meal out with family. The lamb was cooked perfectly and complimented the rest of the dishes! Personal favourites were the Potatos!

We went here with friends. Great little place out in the country. Staff were lovely. Food beautiful and you can see it being cooked. A real treat. Very cozy atmosphere

Really nice indian and nepalese food - friendly staff and very tasty meal. We had dinner just by the open kitchen and were treated very nicely by the staff. Would recommend you stop by if you want to eat indian or nepalese. Reasonably priced.

We live locally and over the years have eaten at the Roadmaker but not recently. This evening we ordered a take away, Onion Bhaji, Samosa's both with salad and a chicken tikka starter. I didn’t feel I needed to check the food before I left the premises but later found there was no salad, that was a minor issue. The biggest shock came when we opened the chicken tikka container and found four small pieces of chicken each measuring about half inch square, the dish was £6.75 thats £1.68p for each piece of chicken. I called a member of staff at the Roadmaker to complain and was told thats what you get. After pointing out £1.68 for a small piece of chicken was unacceptable, he offered to give me a free chicken tikka starter the next time I ordered. We won’t be taking up the offer; that’s so disappointing because it’s our nearest restaurant

Visited with friends and we enjoyed a selection of curry dishes, rice,naan etc it was all perfect and of a nice spicy flavour. The service was great all in all it was a lovely meal and we will return…. Of interest I noticed they also do take away

So glad we came here. Amazing friendly staff, excellent choice of food, cooked fresh and very good quality. We had a great meal

Absolutely amazing food with such lovely waiters! Food was amazing along with the bar lady! Chefs work tirelessly and it shows. Thankyou guys was amazing!

These really nice people fitted the 4 of us in at 30 minutes notice after we were let down by another venue and all we can say is what a fantastic experience! Friendly, great service and food of the highest quality made for a wonderful evening after we had been resigned to a 21/2 hour drive home hungry, so we cannot thank The Roadmaker staff enough. We will certainly return in the future, it’s definitely worth it!

This was a great find. I was told that was nowhere to have lunch in Newent town centre (I don't mean nowhere good, there was nowhere! I had seen this inn just after leaving the M50 and thought it looked nice and worth a try. What a lovely surprise! First, there was no music/noise of any kind when I entered the bar. Second, although I expected the usual menu - fish and chips, gammon etc - it turned out to be a Nepalese curry house! Wonderful! I had Himalayan lamb curry with came with rice and an interesting addition which I thought was a roti, and was delicious as was the curry. Oh yes and there is fish and chips on the menu as well.

We arrived at about 2 and although the restaurant closed at 2.30 we were able to order food. We had our fur baby with us but sadly he was not allowed in to the restaurant, fortunately it was a lovely day and we sat outside. The seating area is not covered so not recommended if it is raining and you are taking your four legged child! Service great, hospitality great and food outstanding. Would definitely visit again.

Just a great place to eat , staff appreciate your custom. You can see your food being cooked . If you want a fast food experience then your at the wrong venue . Great meals take time to prepare . Just love this place and its a 26 mile round trip for us and well worth it . See you again on Friday the 24th March . at 7 pm .

We went here today and felt the need to leave review- service was spot on and we loved this place. We have been everywhere trying places for Sunday lunch this one we drove past many times and never been in! Pls try this place the service was 🤩 we will deffo come back

1st time eating here. Very good service from the staff . Very nice place and clean. Food very nice was a nice change to try a nepalese restaurant as never been before . Enjoyed chicken dansak rice and peshwari nan and nice dome like dessert . 🍨

At Christmas, son comes home and is a must visit. Meal last night was absolutely excellent as usual. Friendly warm smiley welcome as soon as you walk in. Food, varied choice, quality was excellent. Chefs special highly recommend. Huge thanks to staff at Roadmaker. See you in 2023.

Well where do I start. The service the food the atmosphere was all fantastic. Make sure you go hungry the portions are generous. The food was delicious I can’t wait to go back. The staff were attentive and friendly and made us feel welcome. We had such a wonderful evening and will recommend this restaurant to all of our friends.

We arrived on a Wednesday night and greeted by a warm welcome. Very attentive service. The food was amazing as normal. Such a gem this place.

The staff were welcoming, the menu was interesting. The food was delicious. We had a selection of curries and accompaniments which were all really nice. The decor was a bit dated, but a lovely place to enjoy some really delicious curry.

Ate here twice while on holiday in the area, once for lunch and once for an evening meal. The food was fantastic and the service was very quick. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We would definitely visit again if we were in the area.

Very varied menu. Our food came piping hot and was absolutely delicious. The naan bread was fabulous. They had Cobra beer. Pleasant welcome.Excellent service Lovely , spacious environment A real find! We felt my so lucky to find somewhere of this calibre you have dinner in the countryside on 1st January

Heard a lot of good things about this restaurant and was very disappointed. 4 adults and a child went there yesterday 10/12/21 and the lunchtime food was not good. My wife and the other lady had the salmon which was dry and over cooked. I had a curry which was completely tasteless and chips that was cool th say the least. We really should have complained at the time but because it was so cold in there we were glad to get out. Not a very nice experience at all.

Delicious food, charming staff, lovely beer, great atmosphere. Absolutely nothing not to like. Really looking forward to returning.

The atmosphere of a good country pub. Welcoming, friendly and efficient staff. We all had curry, and enjoyed trying nepalese style. Unanimously rated as the best ever ! - and unusually for that area, serving on a Sunday evening. Would definitely return if in the area.

The lovely people at The Roadmaker hosted 11 of us including children and dogs for an outstanding meal last night. We're back in a year and already looking forward to eating here then too.We sat outside by the fish pond and loved the chilled little garden space. Food was amazing and be recommendation was spot on. Service was perfect and we have to praise the staff member who was nervous of dogs for getting to know our very large mutt! I enjoyed the Chat Pat starter which was fragrant and beautifully spiced, followed by chicken saag which I ordered hot and really enjoyed. Children were catered for too with friendly classics of chicken nuggets, sausages etc. Honestly the best curry I've had and I blooming love a curry!!!We really enjoyed taking part in the quiz too and chatting with locals and staff. Thank you everyone for your efforts and smiles! We'll see you next year!!!

Living in Birmingham we have a good number of Indian and Bangladeshi restaurants local to us but finding this Ghurka (Nepalese) near our holiday let was a great find, Indian food with a definite Nepalese twist.During our weeks stay at near by Ford Farm Lodges we ate at the restaurant one evening and enjoyed it so much when not wanting to drive to far on a second night we ordered a take-a-way and thoroughly enjoyed both meals. While dining in the restaurant service was excellent and during this troubled times the tables we well spaces and the whole thing was comfortable and relaxing. The food was all well prepared and extremely tasty, as I said service was excellent and very friendly. Defiantly a place I would visit again when in the area. First Class.

Very expensive and the food was very bland and watery. Was also cold very fast and we only live 2 minutes away!

One of the best restaurants around. All food is fresh, tasty and one of the few places you can get a proper curry. Our family have been coming for years and it continues to get better each time. We’ve never had a bad meal, even sitting outside during covid outdoor dining couldn’t ruin it. The staff are extremely lovely and the food is top quality. Can’t fault the place.

We always go here when were on holiday at our log cabin.The ghurka's special starter is our favourite and the ghurka's lamb curry is beautiful.The staff are very friendly and helpful,we have been coming here for years and even take home a few currys back to birmingham to freeze and have at a later date.Highly recommend a visit

We were staying nearby and heard about the Roadmakers Arms as a good place to eat. It was excellent, one of the best curries we have had in a long time. Service was great as well. Highly recommended.

Extensive menu and excellent service. The main dishes are not good value as they contain too much sauce and not enough meat or fish. Certainly not up to the standards of 5 years ago.

A very very low average takeaway meal for four, massively overpriced for what it was. It wasn’t bad it’s just that it was terrible value for money and below average in taste and preparation. Two half filled little cups of sauce; HALF FILLED for £73.00? Really? Never ever again. Stay safe everyone.

Having worked with Gurkhas the week prior to visiting the restaurant I was excited to try some authentic Nepalese food however this was far from it.On arrival the restaurant has an appearance of an old traditional British pub, far from your traditional Nepalese/Indian restaurant. With an open kitchen we were shocked to not even have the smell of cooking spices being used in the restaurant. We were seated at our table for 8 efficiently, 3 of our party were already there before we arrived and by the time we had sat, taken off our coats and were handed a menu the waiter was at the other end of the table ready to take our order! We asked if we could have some drinks whilst we study the menu rather than order straight away. On returning with the drinks the waiter tried to take our order again, I am aware they get busy with takeaways but it felt very rushed in wanting to take our order.To start we chose some traditional Nepalese 'Momo' with a dipping sauce which was tasty and felt homemade. However the mains were a completely different story. We ordered several different curry dishes and accompaniments, however they all tasted of the same creamy sauce, which is not authentic to Nepal at all. The best way to describe the appearance was YELLOW, no traditional spices and flavours seemed to have been used and tasted like a jar sauce with some different levels of curry powder spice for mild, medium or hot. The chicken was not fresh and tasted frozen and boiled. The Roadmaker Inn is not a traditional Nepalese restaurant and is more of a very poor attempt at a western style Indian. Which obviously seems to be what the people who highly rate this place must enjoy.

Came here for an evening meal and really enjoyed! Staff are friendly and the food was superb! Would recommend.

A small group of us come here every year just before Christmas (and occasionally at other points throughout the year). The food is always very good with decent portion sizes. As this is a country pub, you also have the benefit of a vast array of beers and ales on tap. The highlight has to be the service. These guys are very accommodating considering we are a group of lads and can often be loud - we always go in the bar area to ensure we don't disturb the restaurant. We plan to come here regularly for many years.

Curry restaurants can be very similar, so finding one that's a bit different without that difference becoming gimmicky is unusual. The Roadmaker Inn is run by Gurkhas so the difference is the Nepalese influence - but it remains authentic. If anything, it's a bit understated, leading to us ordering "medium" dishes that were both on the mild side - good quality, but I will look for something with more bite next time. As it's a pub too, you are not restricted to the Cobra/Kingfisher choice of beers too, which makes a nice change. Definitely worth a second look.

Dined here whilst i was visiting family in the area. Food was absolutely superb - lots of choice, cooked fresh with very generous portions. Very reasonably priced as well. Restaurant was set out well & had a nice atmosphere. Service was very good - attentive without being overwhelming. Would definitely return.

Great food, delicious. Staff friendly. It’s restaurant small but lovely cosy atmospher. If you love and enjoy good tasty curry then this is a place to try, you won’t be disappointed!

Finally we found a great curry house! This place rocks. Great food, lovely service. Big portions. And when i did have a very small issue, (table was rocky) IT WAS FIXED RIGHT AWAY!! I've been to 2 curry houses in the local area over 2 months and they was awful. But this place has changed my opinion...great job. Will be returning ALOT. Roadmaker #1

Stayed in Upton Bishop for a weekend away and picked up a takeaway from the Roadmaker... the lamb is the best lamb we’ve ever had from a curry house. Melts in the mouth plus the Rara Chicken was beautiful. Will be coming back just to revisit this restaurant and try other things on the menu

The food was astonishing, the lamb was tender and the Salmon Tikka was an eye opener, and being a pub you can get proper drinks.

The food and the service was excellent, awesome flavour’s and a wide choice. Group welcomed and the food was consistently good for everyone Definitely be returning

No tables were available when we visited so we opted for a takeaway Indian meal whilst waiting for our food we drank at the bar and was kept entertained by a lovely barmaid called Vicky. She made our evening such a lovely lady and a credit to the business!!

Friendly and welcoming and very good food. At lunch it was only in the bar but this was spacious and comfortable. The staff could not have been more helpful as one of us was wheelchair bound and they coped with vegetarians and milk allergies and all in the party loved the dishes. I hope. To go back sooon.

Very disappointed with both mains

We eat here on Saturday night and everything was faultless! Beautiful curry and great service. Love this place

We went to the restaurant with some customers, the popadoms were good, I then had samosas, they were huge, too big, but just consisted of potatoes and nothing else, no spice, and bland. I then had vegetable pathyia it consisted of over cooked potato, one strip of carrot and a piece of broccoli in a very sweet thick sauce, with again no spice, this should be a medium hot dish. We also had very over cooked and quite hard rice. Embarrassing for all as customer and supplier none of us wanted to complain. When we left the restaurant everybody commented how poor the food was, our customers said that the food was normally so good, and were quite shocked by what we were served. Possibly a change of chef, or just a really “off” night . I’ve had more spicy cottage pie in the past.

This is the second time we've visited the Roadmaker in the last few months. The first time it was paid for by friends (always nice!). Both visits have been excellent. We've eaten early on both occasions and I think that pays off as the place gets very busy later on. We've had really good service, prompt arrival of each course and good advice on the menu. The bahjis are to die for, never had anything like those before. We really like that each course has been really full of flavour without being unbearably hot. You get to choose the amount of heat for each dish; excellent. All in all, great and we'll be back.

Always good here the curry’s are the best around we have to travel from Gloucester but it’s definitely worth it

Been here many times and as always the food was fantastic. The staff are brilliant and you cannot fault the service.

This was perfect for me and my husband. He only likes English food but as The Roadmaker does their own curry, i was able to have that and my husband had traditional roast. The service and food was first class and you can see it being cooked in the open kitchen. The price was very reasonable too, they have set price for 1, 2 and 3 courses.

great service such happy people and best of all no halal, a real find in this area as most are not Hindu

My friend and I were camping near the Roadmaker and decided to get a takeaway as the reviews looked very favourable. It was the worst takeaway food Ive ever eaten, we paid over £30 for a prawn curry, chicken vindaloo, saag dish and vegetable noodles all apparently authentic indian/nepalese. The prawn curry was like butternut squash soup with a a few prawns in, the chicken was like tinned/processed chicken again in a curry powder soup and the noodles were spagetti in soy sauce! I would strongly discourage anyone with a pallette to avoid this place.

We are staying in a cottage locally and working our way through the restaurants recommended by our hosts - this was certainly the best that we had visited. We had Vegetable Samosas and also the Gurkha Special mixed meats as starters - these were HUGE plates and delicious but rather too big for a starter, the sizzling meat platter would have been perfect as a sharing plate. We followed with the Nepalese Lamb which was great, succulent pieces in a lovely sauce, we had ordered the medium strength and it added the flavour without overpowering with heat. Cost of £69 for two without dessert was a little steep, as the small individual bottles of Merlot were ‘inoffensive’, rather like airline wine.

Right . It's a old pub and you can still just drink in the bar but the village needs that . Now the best bit , great staff ,great reception . Food was just perfect ,staff were rushed of there feet but kept us well looked after . You can see your food being cooked and that's a real bonus .. Plenty of choice ,piping hot and great flavours and you felt like you had a good meal .

The service staff were great the lady who took payment was terrible she should learn to smile, food ok not much taste would, will. not rush back poor Indian restaurant more than Gurkha, best avoid if you like good food

All of us like to eat here the food is superb some say a bit expensive but the quality is the reason for this. Service is really friendly and is a proper locals pub at the front I would give 5 stars but it is ready for a makeover inside. You need to book as always busy

We have always enjoyed our meals here and this visit was no exception. There were 7 of us and we all found plenty to choose from the menu for both the meat lovers and the vegetarians. The spiciness of the dishes is clearly labelled (and for some dishes you can choose) so whether you like very hot or mild food you won't be disappointed. The staff couldn't be friendlier and the restaurant has always been packed whenever we have been. Very highly recommended!

The curries served here are excellent and the staff cannot be faulted. They are attentive and very helpful and we visit with friends who also love the food.

To be honest this is the 4th time I have been. The food is always of a good standard. But the service was really poor. We waited well over two hours for our main course. We booked in at 7.30pm and our main arrived at 9.50pm. we were offered two drinks during that whole time. By the time we got our food neither of us were that fussed about eating it. If you are too busy to accept bookings don't accept them.greed isn't an excuse for over committing. Sadly after this experience I won't be returning. If you are going for a long meal with wine and conversation the food won't let you down. But if you want attentive service and reasonable waiting times for food. I would avoid on busy nights as they are understaffed and take away customers clearly come first. A real shame.

Very welcoming with happy smiley staff

I have no problem with the Nepalese/ Indian food available in the evening,it is good but Sunday Lunch was a different matter.

If you're thinking of a visit to The Roadmaker I suggest you book and go. Booking appear to be a necessity at the weekend and there wasn't a spare seat to be seen on Saturday night.

Lobve this place the staff make it and its fantastic i dont have to worry about heating barbaric halal meat wonder food and service

My wife and I have visited the Roadmaker Inn several times over the last eight or so years. The welcome and staff have always been friendly. The menu is extensive, with a range of curries, rices, naan bread and other sundries. Service is prompt and the staff are prepared to explain any differences with the various curries. There is a variety of drinks available and rather than eat in the restaurant, we chose to eat in the bar on this occasion. We enjoyed our meals and a visit to the RoadMaker Inn is a must.

The food was absolutely fantastic! It is only as small venue but as long as you books it is not too cosy, enough space between tables but does not feel desolate. It’s busy and has good view of the kitchen which I welcome when dining, I like to see the standard of kitchen staff which was very high.

Excellent meal all freshly cooked kitchen full on view lovely food and service easy parking friendly staff large choice on menu cosy restaurant or bar restaurant

Drinks in the bar were had for a chat before heading into the restaurant.

I had high hopes on this restaurant based on the reviews and have made three visits due to being local and wanting to give it a chance.

Have been here a number of times but this will be our last visit.

We had no idea this pub was a Gurkha restaurant from outside so we had a surprise especially as the food was delicious. Watched it being cooked and enjoyed the chef singing too.

Found this Restaurant by luck on our way home from a day trip,friendly service and excellent food.Varied menu, quality very high.Will be back again.

The Roadmakers is a fantastic Ghurkha restaurant. I have been there many times and the quality just keeps right up there.

Had high hopes but average I'm afraid. I'm veggie and although the starters were good, the mains had the feel of a meat restaurant that had some token veggie meals but really couldn't be bothered. Staff lovely.

We only have one complaint about this restaurant it’s a 4hr drive from our home. Super polite staff but still with a sense of humour food fit for the gods fast service very reasonably priced if you’re in the area and like a good meal with a relaxed friendly atmosphere then this is the place for you. Even with the long drive we will be back probably not as often as we would like

Always busy, so suggest you book in advance and avoid disappointment. Beautiful food and welcoming. Used for locals and visitors on regular basis. Our visiting friends always enjoy

What an unexpected surprise to find a really good curry deep in Herefordshire. This place is run by a bunch of charming Gurkhas for whom nothing is too much trouble and who clearly care that their customers have an enjoyable experience. Look past the swirly carpets (which really could do with replacing) and the food is fantastic - an open kitchen where you can see everything being prepared. And look out for a flavour bomb - really good stuff; delicious well done!

What a find! Really authentic Indian food, beautifully seasoned and spiced. And served fresh and piping hot. My only warning would be that there was a big contrast between medium (read mild) and hot (read hot). Not the cheapest Indian you so get but well worth it. Will definitely return.

Alright so, looking from the restaurant outside can make you a bit skeptical, and when we did arrive the whole car park was full, so we had to find a space down a housing street, but once we were in the pub/restaurant was so welcoming. The restaurant park (which we sat in) was lovely and I loved all of the decorations and bar. The place was packed - book in advance, but it made the atomosphere nice.

Dropped in for a bite to eat and was pleasantly surprised and how wonderful the food was. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

The service was very friendly, the food was excellent and everything tasted and looked like it was freshly cooked. Wonderful Onion Bhajis and Lamb Dansak, cooked to perfection and nicely spiced.

A lovely high quality meal at an establishment that combines village pub with a Ghurka restaurant in the same league as some large town establishments. The Nepalese specialities are something else with the influence of China and India. Very friendly attentive but not overbearing staff.

Having had wonderful meals at a Nepalese restaurant in Reigate I thought that it was worth dropping in here for lunch during a drive around the daffodil fields and following the reports on Tripadvisor believed we were in for something special. Well we disappointed.

Nice beer. Place looked ok. Went for an evening meal and had a pretty bland king prawn saag. The Gurkha special starter was pretty good.

We have not been to the Roadmaker for several years, but our return this evening has been rewarded with excellent service and quality cuisine. It was sub-zero outside but warm and cosy inside, we will be returning soon. Three cheers and thank you to the Gurkhas.

Very conscientious staff who paid close attention to a celery allergy. The service was quick even though the room was 3/4 full of lunch time patrons (Saturday). The food was very well presented, and full of flavour. We had the Nepalese lamb (curry) and chicken curry. English food is also available. The portion sizes were generous for a lunch time.

Although close to the M50, the Roadmaker Inn is a little off the beaten track (over 10 miles from Gloucester). However, the treck out is absolutely worth it.

Visited here with our son who was staying with us and knows more about curries than we do.he chose our meal for us and we all enjoyed it the food in pleasant surroundings.We will return

Very warm welcome and excellent food. Big bonus being able to see the chefs in action. The beer is rather...

Roadside pub just off the M50 - lunchtime menu has a British taste but the evenings are dedicated to Curries...

Great food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Came for a birthday meal and had a fantastic evening.

Visited the roadmaker inn on the 18th of November and had a very enjoyable experience.we were in a party of...

This place was recommended to me and I was keen to taste new flavours. I had been told to book...

Have eaten here a few times and every time the food is great.. mostly Nepalese flavours and very tasty, especially...

This is the last time I will ever eat food from The Roadmaker. Went to pick up a takeaway for my partner's birthday. What struck me first is the unsmiling and rude staff. The food is no better than any other curry house in the area yet the prices are steep. I struggle to understand why people rave about this place.

Friendly and efficient as expected from the Gurkhas who run it. The curries were superb with interesting Nepalese variations. Cosy and very welcoming.

Been looking for a halfway house to meet family on a Sunday, tried a few then noticed that the Roadmaker did Sunday Lunches. Well Nothing ventured nothing gained. What can I say, good car park, inviting,clean toilets. Friendly and obliging staff. Choice of Sunday Roast, Curry's or fish or scampi and chips. All at a reasonable price. We have been three times now and usually 3 have curry and one the roast dinner which I was told was very nice. Thoroughly recommend the Bhaji starter.

Always a polite and friendly welcome. The owners have kept the local trade in the bar and added the restaurant very successfully. The kitchen is open to the restaurant, it is spotlessly clean. The cooks are often very busy. The food is good. Service can be rather slow, except when it comes to asking you to buy more drinks! Very good nan bread.Takeaway is available but I often don't get everything I ask for! A bigger car park would be good. A little pricy in comparison to some other equally good Indian restaurants locally.

We visited this weekend for a family meal and although the service was quite slow the staff were super friendly and the food was nice. Would go back again.

Do not waste your time or money eating here. Marketed as Nepalese this establishment is little more than a poor Indian style eatery.The dishes we were served were basic, dull and unimaginative. The Sauces all looked the same apart from the seemingly added colouring. The chicken meat looked and tasted like economy fare. Desserts were limited to factory made bought in ice-creams.The table we sat at was so dark a torch would have been a useful to see what we were eating. The staff appeared to be more interested in plying drinks to customers than serving food efficiently.The bar area was noisy and unappealing.We will not be going anywhere near this place again and would not recommend.

Always a welcome here ,quick service ,and lovely dishes polite staff /freindly ,,we go often ,and there's a good choice on the menu , Nepalese food/English choices ,Sunday lunches lovely ,plenty of parking owner always shakes our hands ,very chatty freindly and make sure we happy with our food love the various dishes ,and nice sweets also had family,birthdays here

We usually celebrate our anniversary at the Roadmaker Inn, but had to cancel this year due to ill health. We decided to spend our last night out there, and are so glad we did. We ate early and were the first diners there, and were greeted as friends by the self-assured and kindly staff. As usual, we ordered RaRa chicken as a starter and we both agree it is the nicest food that we have ever tasted. The chicken breast is marinated in cream cheese and cashew nut sauce and cooked in a tandoor oven. The chicken remains white with slightly singed edges, and is very tender. It is served with a small salad which compliments the chicken. We would both like to have RaRa chicken as a main course one day. Our main course was a chef special which we normally avoid. We ordered it hot and were not disappointed, and the kulfi was essential as a sweet. We have never failed to enjoy a meal at The Roadmaker Inn, and look forward to returning next year. Oddly enough the friend who told us about the Roadmaker has not eaten there, and I have told him what he is missing.
