Truffles in Herefordshire, County of

The best sandwich ever! We both had sandwiches on the freshest most delicious granary bread. I had avocado halloumi with chilli jam😋 my husband had bacon Brie and cranberry. The fillings were very generous and they were served with a lovely side salad and ‘posh’ crisps! We both had a latte to drink which were expertly executed and served with a melt-in-your-mouth shortbread. For dessert we shared a scrumptious cruffin a wonderful light pastry with custard in the middle 👌🏻 The lovely lady at the counter was extremely friendly and helpful, the deli shop is well stocked with a great array of local produce. We had the most enjoyable lunch, would highly recommend and will definitely be back. 5 stars is not enough they deserve 10!🤩

Scones the size of the moon! Phenomenal food, wonderful service. Clearly a place that makes their own food and only serves it if it’s amazing! What a great hidden gem

Wonderful little Cafe and deli. Some little tables outside in the courtyard but also some undercover which was great as the weather was rainy when we came. Even little blankets provided. There was so much choice and everything looked (and tasted!) delicious. Between us all we had a sausage roll, frittata, quiche, jacket potato and salad - all so tasty and fresh. We also had some of the yummy cakes too. Highly recommend visiting this place! Very friendly staff too.

We found this place after spotting the secret courtyard sign. A lovely spot with everything you could want including blankets for chairs or for warmth. We had a good coffee followed by some very nice sandwiches. The only problem was choosing as the selection was so good.

We stumbled into this little gem of a deli which has sitting either inside or in a delightful hidden secret courtyard with table set under a vine. Perfect place for an outdoor lunch or a coffee. I had a delicious asparagus and Parmesan quiche, together with an array of salads, including Harissa chickpeas, couscous and bulgur.

We visited Truffles whilst on a day out shopping to Ross...beautiful individual little cafe and the lady who was serving on the cake / deli counter was an absolute delight...happy..friendly and very welcoming. A pity the same cannot be said of the man at the rear of the shop taking the food orders....he was miserable...surly and we got the distinct impression he didn't want to be there and he didn't care about making that blatantly obvious to us either.....rolling his eyes in irritation when my partner dared to ask about the salads and what was in them. He made us feel that our very presence irritated the hell out of him. I doubt that we will be returning to Truffles not that it would concern or bother this miserable man I am sure.

A really lovely deli. Lovely friendly staff. Excellent food. Lovely atmosphere. Would not hesitate to visit again! The only thing I would say is that the individual quiches are a little small!

It was an amazing find. We had a wonderful lunch of some of the most delicious sandwiches ever. Helpful staff and took cakes away for later.

Visited here for lunch. My husband had a sausage roll which unexpectedly came with a lovely side salad. I wasn't hungry so just had an Americano. I asked for a weak coffee, when it arrived it was very strong. The wonderful lady serving changed it immediately. She couldn't have been kinder. The weaker coffee was superb. My husband was quite happily eating his sausage roll when the same lady came and said he had been given the plain pork, instead of the pork and chorizo sausage roll he had ordered. He said it didn't matter and he was quite happy with what he had. However, this wasn't up to the standard Truffles reach and the same lady came back with the said Pork and Chorizo roll, packed for my husband to take home free of charge. How rare you get such great food, great surroundings and astoundingly first class service all in one place. We will definitely call again and recommend Truffles wholeheartedly.

Fabulous lunch after a healthy walk. Choice of homemade soup, sandwiches and other light bites as well as tempting pastries and cake. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good size portion in the half size soup and sandwich.

Love this place. Really good food. Had the coffee and walnut cake. Ham, stilton and red currant jelly sandwich too with a top salad box. You've got everything just perfect. Love your bread, cheese and sausage roll selection too. Deli from heaven!

If you can manage to get a table in the Secret Garden (up the alleyway next to the shop, not that secret) you are in for a treat, covered by vines it is such a lovely area to enjoy a spot of lunch in. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, with that all important smile they provide such a good service. The food is well presented, tasty and such good value, it is well worth a visit.

On a weekend morning in hot weather, the shaded courtyard run by Truffles is perfect. Luscious vines and sensible planting make it an oasis. The staff make a wonderful contribution to the mellow vibes. Then there is the food; we had sweetband savoury pastries with coffee and we're left sated and delighted. Tasty, thoughtful and well appointed, this place is a delight. In 'normal' weather there will be sun, covered areas and an attractive inside seating area. Can't speak highly enough of this option in Ross.

Friendly little cafe and delicatessen where we stopped for our usual morning coffee and cakes. The staff were very helpful in describing the cakes on offer and efficent bringing the order out to the quiet back patio. My husband had the cruffin, (cross between croissant and muffin) which was amazing. My almond slice was also good, but not as good as the cruffin! Next time.....

We hired a canoe from ROSS ON WYE CANOE HIRE today, we stopped at Kerne Bridge and had great coffee and brownie at the little PADDLE CAFE there. We went on to lower lydbrook aiming to have lunch at the pub there but it was shut ! After we got back to symonds yat we drove to Ross for a very late lunch and found TRUFFLES deli and cafe OMG the food there was fantastic. If you are going to canoe from Ross to symonds yat definitely recommend (a quick 5 min walk into Ross town from the launch point) to pick up a picnic lunch from TRUFFLES to take with you the food will be some of the best you’ve had in a long time. We will be visiting Ross again just to go to TRUFFLES it was that good.

My wife and I arrived in Ross on Wye late on Friday afternoon and found this place. The welcome was so friendly and after a long journey from Lincolnshire it was just what we wanted. A nice cuppa and a chocolate brownie. We liked it so much, we came back for lunch today after visiting Symonds Yat. Sandwiches were delicious

Had the best coffees and milkshakes here, so much variety in this wonderful family owned deli....I could eat everything I saw....as we were staing half board in hotel, we didnt get to try the food, but next time in this area we will definitely be eating here.

This place is a like an Aladdin's Cave for food! We stopped for lunch in Ross and decided to try this place. It has a lovely courtyard to the back of the store. We had lunch (for 4) and it was delicious. I could have had 3-4 things off their menu and the kids milkshakes were also amazing. The service was prompt and the staff could not have been more helpful. They also offered water and biscuit treats for dogs. We also bought a couple of things from the deli counter for later and they had a great selection of food and drink to buy and take away. I'd highly recommend this place.

We arrived in Ross on Wye late afternoon, tired and hungry. Delighted with our choice of sandwiches and coffees. The Deli is well stocked and had lots of homemade bakes on display. We bought an enormous slice of passion fruit carrot cake to take home with us. Sooo tasty! The secret courtyard was a delight, we’re so pleased we stumbled upon this eclectic café. Staff were extremely friendly and efficient.

A super lunch in the charming and eclectic secret courtyard. Friendly staff and competitive price. Really happy with this place, loved the hedgehogs the water tap etc etc. Well done from a fussy reviewer !

Wandered in for a look killing some time on a rainy day to be honest . Good variety of products ,couldnt resist some cheese and spotted the home made brownies whilst my cheese was being wrapped and bought the salted caramel flavour...had it later with...

So glad we stopped for a hot snack here. Really great food, prepared and served quickly, very reasonably priced and with a friendly service.

Good range of sandwiches and savouries. Ordered sandwiches and then went to pick up area in outside courtyard. Very good sandwiches and wild boar sausage roll

Smiling staff and a great cheese and salad selection made it a difficult choice when we called in for a snack. The following day we collected our pre-ordered sandwiches and they filled or flask with fresh coffee, On our walk the sandwiches were unpacked and...

I had high expectations of this place because of Tripadvisor reviews. And the menu looked great - simple in that they only did sandwiches, baked potatoes and salads, but lots of variety within those categories. I ordered a Bhaji salad. The bhaji itself was tasty,...

Very nice sandwiches, very filling, great service and a waiting area around the back to distance. Would recommend.

Without a doubt truffles will surprise you, the incredible custom made sandwiches aside, truffles offers a wide range of foods that will appeal to the discerning foodie. From delicatessen pies cakes and pastries to organic bread and condiments this is the place to get the...

We’ve eaten twice. The sandwiches are very good and reasonably priced. For take out they’re only £3.50. Eat in is £7.00 but the eat in sandwiches are better loaded and come with chip and greens. In back there is a small courtyard for eating. It’s...

There is plenty of choice for tea and coffee shops in Ross-on-Wye and the town is a great place to visit and stay / eat out. We just had drinks at Truffles, but it was a friendly deli / coffee shop with plenty of choice....

Visited as it is the Tourist information centre also, had lovely coffee and cake. Also purchased cheese but also sell many other tempting things.

Have just visited this amazing little Coffee shop and delicatessen in ross on wye. After a long walk along the river i walked back through the town to find coffee. Having 2 labradors with me, it isnt easy to find somewhere! But i was welcomed...

A great cafe and deli to eat and shop in. I enjoy taking advantage of their Thursday special salad boxes which are delicious. Different choices each week and always made fresh. The free delivery service is great if you work in the town!

Arrived in Ross-on-Wye on a very HOT day (yeah!, we do get them in UK ;-)) and found this lovely, quaint but friendliest little Delicatessen one could wish to find. The tables are set in a lovely and intimate little courtyard adjacent to the shop...

It's hard just to stop at coffee here - the cakes looked delicious, but we had all eaten earlier. There is a delightful private and quiet courtyard, which is a welcome break from the busy main street. I really liked this little place. The Deli...

My wife suggested this place as we drove through Ross to park up. What a find. A lovely hidden garden with beautiful plants and cosy seating. The food was amazing, great menu choices of inviting, fresh and different foods. The jackets were enormous with great...

This is a lovely deli with lots of great products to choose from. We chose some delicious salami and a beautiful card by a local artist. The deli/cafe was one of the few places open after 4pm, so we also stopped for a coffee and late lunch. The giant Eccles cake and avocado on toast were delicious. We particularly enjoyed eating in the little hidden away courtyard.

We called here for a cup of tea on our arrival in Ross. We were impressed with the deli itself, and the range of teas on offer. Then we found the lovely courtyard garden where we could enjoy our drinks. Bliss! Service is slick and smiley.

Tried to buy a sandwich at around 3.30 and was told rather rudely that they had stopped sandwiches, which is rather amazing when you consider the town was quiet and not many folks around. The girl was cleaning the counter down, but could very easily made a sandwich in the kitchen. When she said sorry we have stopped sandwiches what she meant was I can’t be bothered! Customer service non existent even the other staff me,her in the shop looked shocked and apologized to me. Sing outside sAys best sandwiches in Ross, would have been nice to try one, suggest you update your sign to say worst service in Ross.

We had a lovely freshly prepared light lunch served in the secret garden which was lovely. Nice coffee and good selection of teas. Highly recommend

Lovely little hidden garden patio area. Great choice of lunches and very tasty food. Deli itself has a large range of food items

I recently ordered a special Thursday salad box and although I called into the shop to collect it, I found out I could have had it delivered to my place of work. I'll remember that for next time. The spicy Mexican style salad was truly delicious and I didn't want it to end. The shop also sells a great variety of chutney's and other delightful food and drinks!!

Great coffee, Hot chocolate, cakes and garden. Very family friendly also. Recommended for morning coffee.

On our way back to our car after a wander around Ross, popped in for a cheeky latte and cake.

We called in here looking for some tourist information and also a sandwich to take away. The staff were helpful and accommodating. Our sandwiches were freshly prepared with fresh bread and very generous quantity of filling. We didn’t purchase anything else but if the sandwiches are a guide it is likely to be of high quality.

Incredible food and what a find... a secret garden sun trap on a beautiful spring day. Very accommodating, we ordered some items from the menu, then bought food from the deli to eat outside as well. Highly recommended!

We dropped in for a coffee and a sandwich having browsed Ross on Wye. The produce on display was lovely and our "sandwich" was served with salad and accompaniment making it a mini-salad. It was delicious. Having congratulated ourselves on such a nice find we treated ourselves to a second coffee and a longer, leisurely sit and chat. The staff were very helpful answering questions about our proposed river walk and were much more informed than the tourist information office had been. Highly recommended.

There were 5 of us and we were lucky that the weather was nice and we could eat our sandwiches and salads under the vines, plus grapes, in the Secret Passage. One of our party was a vegetarian and was well catered for. Every meal delicious and the tea piping hot in an appropriate pot. We will be back.

My wife chose truffles on a whim, I think. But it was a beautiful choice. Seated opposite the mouthwatering display of lovely cheeses and meats on offer for sale, really whetted my appetite for my Ham Salad sandwich to arrive. The sandwich and accompaniment were huge, and really, really tasty, and great value! The staff were pleasant, and the environment was very comfortable. There is a delightful back yard which sadly, wasn't open today.

Staying for a few days in Ross on Wye, we called in here to buy some sandwiches for lunch and they were so good, we came back every day! Excellent choice of fillings (and you can mix and match to create your own), very generous amounts, all made to order, and they even include a paper plate and serviette. Great value for money and very friendly service. And as the shop is also a local tourist office, you can pick up helpful leaflets about attractions in Ross and the surrounding area while you're waiting for your sandwiches to be prepared. A great find!

Lovely home made food reasonable prices and you can either sit indoors and watch the world go by or sit in the tranquillity of the garden . Will definitely use again when in the area.

Been known to buy sandwich meals for the family on the way to the beach an hour away or when going on a walk into the forest or hills. Great tasting sandwiches and cakes, large range, made to order

A delicatessen with tables for coffee and cake or light lunches. Everything is home made - try the vegetarian Scotch egg - yummy!! A lovely courtyard garden out the back too!

We visited Truffles for lunch and found that they catered for every dietary need. The owner was amazingly helpful and had a great knowledge of the local area as well. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was brilliant and the choice of beverages so much better than most restaurants that we visit. There were gluten free cakes, dairy and gluten free cakes and gluten free choices for all sandwiches and other meals. The bedside manner of course made us buy lots of goodies after the lunch which shows just how much the interaction with the serving staff increases profits for those working in such cafes. Next time that I visit the area I will definitely stop of for my lunch. They could make a fortune if they could fit in more chairs. A must for lunch when in Ross on Wye.

Went for lunch with my family after a reccommendation from brother who works in the town. Staff were friendly and had a fantastic selection of locally produced food for lunch, and for sale in the deli. Slightly limited table space but excellent food once you're in!

There is a huge choice of sandwiches and salads on offer. The atmosphere is lovely with friendly staff and excellent service. The food itself is delicious. I would definitely recommend this little unassuming place. They also sell a big range of local ciders and beers.

The sandwich selection at this deli is amazing and with excellent quality you will not be disappointed. The meal deal is great value and they have water in glass bottles.

Nice and clean ,well presented, service was excellent ,good food, love all the items that were on sale, will call again

Called in to Truffells. Excellent choices including local and home made treats. Salad bar very tempting. interesting pictures of local area on walls. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Had a look at the secret garden which I am sure must be a delight in the summer. They sell gift vouchers which will make ideal present or thank you for family and friends who live in Ross.

Lovely little find to procure a vast array of local products like cheese and beer!!! They also have a little cafe area if you fancy a rest stop for a coffee.

We were just passing this lovely shop we had deli meats some lovely pastries very tasty and fresh young ladies that dealt with our order was very helpful back of shop is a lovely little cafe the shop was quaint with lots of choice

So difficult to decide what to buy once you step inside this delicatessen. Great range of cheeses with some being local. Tasty pies, sausage rolls, pasties and so on. Range of olives etc, . Good range of packaged products too. Cakes to die for. They also have a cafe but didn't have time to try this out but sure it would be excellent too.

It's a secret down the secret passage so I'll have to whisper; you might have to turn up the volume on your device! You'll find it just off the high street and, bizarrely, they've put up a dirty great big sign saying Secret Passage. They've obviously got a future in MI5.

We stumbled across little delicatessen/restaurant and ordered delicious toasted tea cakes that we enjoyed in the charming garden terrace. It was a real treat and we would highly recommend this place to those who wish to relax while enjoying good good.

Arrived and found a table 40 minutes before the official closing time of the garden, within a minute or so, we were informed by a waitress clearing tables that they were no longer serving sandwiches etc but we could have drinks if we wanted to. If you plan to stop serving food at different times, this should be printed on the menus to avoid disappointment.

My wife and I stopped here for lunch and were impressed with the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff. We were given lots of chicken in our baguette and chicken Caesar salad. Fantastic 'home made' cakes as well. My only constructive criticism / warning is that they only have two tables to eat in with - which could be solved by having one sales point (avoiding disjointment / confusion) perhaps by moving the cake stand to the back to free up space in the front for a few more tables, waitress served. Just a thought!

Deli selling a range of local and high end style food products with a fresh salad deli counter where you can select from the wide range and have lunch in the delightful secret garden. Wonderful on a sunny day. Service a little odd in that they had run out of knives and when the server came back she simply left them in the tray and didn't bring them over to us. Also didn't appreciate being charged 20p extra for milk in coffee. Overall, however, well worth the visit for a wholesome good value lunch.

After walking past quite a few uninspiring cafes, we chanced upon this delightful and friendly Deli. There are three or four tables inside, but we chose to sit in the very well thought out Courtyard. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a sunny day, even on a dull August afternoon it was very nice. We only wanted a snack and coffee, my only criticism would be that there was too much butter and not enough jam for the scones that we had. We saw some other orders coming out and the sandwiches looked delicious. Cakes looked very nice too!

I used to work in Ross and would regularly come to Truffles for a sandwich at lunch. They have a really good range of sandwiches to choose from, including some imaginative vegetarian options. The read is lovely quality an the fillings are always really generous.

I absolutely love the food here, my partner and I have eaten here several times and we are very pleased with the quality and service provided. The garden seating area is amazing and the staff are friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to sampling some more of the delicatessen goodies to take away with us next time we go.

My first choice when it comes to lunch in town while at work

What a Lovely place Friendly Staff Busy location in High Street Brilliant choice of Sandwiches and much much more. Reasonable prices and a great seating area in courtyard One of the Best in Ross.

Secret courtyard tucked away but certainly worth the effort to discover it. Friendly staff. Fabulous food. We had the mature cheese and ham quiche and a selection of salads. Very unusual salad options and very tasty. Excellent value. Don't change anything. Thank you.

Excellent choice of sandwiches with fillings from the standard BLT to the more adventurous such as pastrami and sauerkraut AND you could have half a sandwich and soup AND they were quite happy for me to have different fillings on the two halves of my sandwich (I couldn't choose between them) AND it came with some crisps, green salad and a choice of a 'fancy' salad (I chose celeriac remoulade). There was also a very tempting choice of cakes. Extremely friendly & helpful staff. And a lovely courtyard garden to sit in (no indoor seating I don't think). Top marks.

What a find! We have just enjoyed a most delightful lunch in the 'secret' courtyard behind Truffles deli. A perfect sun trap packed with pots of flowers and herbs, it is the prettiest place to relax with some of the many delicious treats from the shop. Thoroughly recommend this place for tea or coffee and cake or a tasty lunch.

They have an amazing cake selection for sale- IF they have the chocolate guinness cake you must buy it- it is moreish and moist and delicious! Also delicious apple cake and empire biscuits and chocolate brownies! But that guiness cake! Please make it more often!

I bought some sandwiches to take on a picnic whilst staying in the area. They were so fresh and tasty and were like doorsteps! I would certainly recommend

My friend and I went to Truffles as we sneaked a peak on Facebook to see that there was little gem lurking down the alley next to Truffle deli.

Fantastic range of sandwiches, cakes and delivery items..chocolate brownies are fab. Friendly staff too.

This is one of many appealing shops to stop into in Ross, but it's unique in that it sells food produce rather than antiques. The sandwich menu looked and sounded amazing - sadly we were too full from a late breakfast when we stopped in initially. And when we returned mid afternoon the cafe element had unfortunately closed shop for the day. Real pity. One of my only regrets in Ross was not trying a sandwich from here!

as usual very fresh made in good time and with a smile the choice is wonderful and of course the deli is an added treat

Sandwiches are great. Cakes are delicious. Staff very friendly and accommodating. A nice lunchtime treat 😀

Great food.....from cooked meats to local cheeses. The sandwiches and salads are fab, just shows that shops can survive when they put so much passion into what they sell and how well they present their produce. It's nice to support a local store that sell 5 star produce. Now got an area you can sit and have a coffee!

I took my niece out to lunch on a Monday 22nd August after a long exhausting walk on The Skerrig. Our lunch was delicious - fresh ingredients beautifully put together and served. My niece is vegan and gluten free and she was able to enjoy a huge varied salad main course followed by a scrummy gluten free cake. The annoying this is I have never thought to go to Truffle for lunch before but that will now change. The choice of food is amazing from the best cheeses around to olives, cold meats, delicious baked good - a pot pourri of gourmet, often organic, good wholesome food displayed to tempt and who can resist.

I have been to Truffles numerous times and always find the staff to be extremely friendly and hardworking - and always smile even when very busy. The choice of local produce is fantastic. The sandwiches are delicious and the meal deal is excellent value for the quality you get. I have also used them for an outside catering lunch of four people and the platter was substantial and the quality faultless. The cafe they have up the side passage way is lovely too for the summer. Definitely pop in here when in Ross you wont be disappointed - and you will definitely want to return for the sandwich selection!

Love going to truffles for the meal deal! Sandwhich, Cake, Drink and crisps! Amazing bread and fillings with a wonderful selections of cakes! Highly Recommended

Fabulous lunch, fantastic array of sandwich/panini/wrap choices. Accompanying salad was fresh and tasty. Price was a pleasant surprise considering the quality of the food! Would definitely visit again.

Easily the best for miles around in choice, quality and service. Their cheeses are exceptional as are the home made cakes and pies.

Ross is very lucky to have Truffles! Not only is it an award-winning deli, supplying delicacies from around the world and showcasing magnificent local produce, but if you penetrate deeper into the back of the premises, you will find that it also does a mean lunch. The soups are delicious and wholesome, and there is a bewildering selection of sandwiches, toasties, pies etc. to choose from. You can take out or eat in, and there is a lovely little garden for summer lunches. Portions are generous in size, served by a really wonderful, enthusiastic staff.

We stopped in this little town to break our journey but found this little deli cafe that is a destination in itself. The aroma of something gorgeous from the kitchen greeted us when we opened the door and we weren't disappointed. The sandwiches were so substantial and delicious they could tide us over till the morning. Everything looked fresh and tasty - salads, cakes and an impressive sandwich menu plus all sorts of packaged goodies and bottles of interesting drinks. It is a food lovers paradise and is not expensive. The place is obviously popular with locals and with good reason.

Amazing deli, so much to choose from, from home made cakes of all descriptions, great cold meat and cheese selection, lovely sandwich bar at the rear of the shop, it's a must go to for anybody in Ross on Wye

Found this little gem when passing through Ross on Friday. So glad we walked all the way to the back and found there were tables. Delicous salads. Good, prompt service. Lovely menu with lots of choice, particularly for sandwiches which judging by the foot traffic, the locals seemed to know about! Worth actually diverting in to Ross for.

A nice range of cheeses in the deli counter, along with meats, pies and pastries. The sandwich/salad bar looked good too. The staff know their stuff about cheese, and can advise on what might tickle your palate. Very good.
