Under The Nut Tree in Herefordshire, County of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Starter was inadequate, 1 piece of bread and a bit of melted cheese. Main was so undercooked I could hardly eat it, pudding ok but for £55 a head very very overpriced, will not return. Came away hungry and out of pocket.

Beautiful venue and great concept however the food and service is a let down. Starter was bland and stodgy (an attempt to fill bellies) main was ok but cold and not enough of it. Desert was fine but nothing special. The most infuriating moment was when the owner/manager came round to ask if everything was ok and if we’d had enough only to be told once we’d asked for some more that there wasn’t any! Then to be charged 55/person and prompted to tip! A real shame as we had high hopes. Would not recommend.

What a fantastic place. The hosts and staff are so warm and welcoming. The setting is idyllic and it's a wonderfully relaxed eating experience. The food was fantastic,it's a set menu, which takes the hassle out of deciding what you want. It's all cooked outside, over the most spectacular fire grill. The seating area outside was relaxing, with great music playing and fires to sit round when the temperature began to drop off. It's bring your own drink and glass, although there is water and a glass available on the table. No corkage fee either so you can drink as much as you like. £55 plus a well deserved tip for three course meal with table service and chilling by the fire in to the late hours of the evening, in a beautiful place on a summer evening is more than worth it. We will be back for sure. Thank you x

From the moment we arrived it was like turning up at a friend’s house for a party we were really looking forward to. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy, everyone was there to have a good time. Delicious food, having it cooked outdoors gives it a special magic, and we love the set menu and not having to choose what to eat. The whole vibe is just brilliant, the flowers, the lighting, the homely decor. It must take a lot of work to make everything so effortless! We’ll be back!

Nice idea, cool atmosphere but an expensive bbq experience and IMO, not worth the money. The mains were okay but massively let down by the start and dessert. £110 for a couple and they pushed for a tip.

The place itself is absolutely stunning, however let down massively by the rudeness of the head chef and lack of hygiene. Visited beginning of May for my partners birthday, I’m currently in my first trimester of pregnancy so was sceptical about bbq food anyway. Was told to sit outside and would be informed when the food was served, time went on and I could see the starter (asparagus) yes that’s right, asparagus was being served. My partner and I went in to our table thinking ours would be served shortly, only to find the asparagus started was on the table, cold. Not a huge issue, we ate it cold and as tasty as asparagus was hollandaise sauce gets, it was nice. Our main meal came sometime afterwards. Pork off the bbq, their famous potatoes and vegetables. Tucking into the meal which was once again just above cold, very cautious due to my pregnancy I located a chargrilled wasp amongst my veg. I stopped eating immediately and so didn’t my partner, making one of the female members of staff aware and she was very accommodating, offering us more food but I obviously didn’t want any more. Shortly after the main meal, the head chef and I believe owner came around asking everyone was the food okay. Not wanting to make a fuss, I quietly explained I had an insect in my food. My partner and I were genuinely taken back and shocked by his reaction. He began shouting “An insect? An insect? What do you mean? Don’t be so ridiculous.” I was so embarrassed l. I then explained there was a wasp cooked into my food which he then shouted “A wasp? Well that’s flown in your food whilst you’ve been eating it, that could happen anywhere.” I was so embarrassed and felt so between. A male on the table behind then commented “I would eat a wasp if it tasted that good.” I felt so uncomfortable due to the chefs response and attitude I couldn’t stay for the dessert. I asked the female member of staff who I now believe is also an owner of the company could I take the desserts away. Without hesitation the lady brought us desserts no trouble at all and apologised once again for the main course. She then reprocessed to type into the card machine £110. £55 per person as this is a set menu restaurant where you take your own beverage. Again, shocked. The lady clear saw neither of us ate anything more than a mouthful of food from the main course and was aware of how rude the chef had been to us. I paid the full amount and walked from the restaurant devastated. What was supposed to be to be a lovely evening out with good food was in fact nothing short of a terrible experience. I am disappointed to write this review as we had high expectations for Under The Nut Tree. As stated above the venue itself is stunning, beautiful surroundings and a lovely atmosphere. Customer service was shocking. Nothing short of rude and will not be returning. I have a large following on social media accounts and posted a video prior to food of the restaurant. When people have messaged me asking was the place worth the travel, I have unfortunately had to recommend people don’t waste a journey to this restaurant. Even if the food was hot and didn’t have a wasp in it, it would have been average and most certainly not worth £55pp.

I’ve been trying to book here for ages and was delighted to get a table for my husband’s birthday and WOW it was so worth the wait In a gorgeous setting, with fire pits lit and the sun out we watched as they cooked dinner Our table was in the barn which was magical, the food was absolutely delicious and the candle in dessert as they sang happy birthday was really appreciated

Lovely setting, music choice excellent. Lots and lots of diners eating 3 course set menu. Bring yr own drinks. Food good and first time in a long time was able to eat 3 courses. Would visit again in warmer months and would ask for the enamel serving dish to be warmed more.

Amazing food, absolutely loved whole experience of Under Nut Tree, will definitely recommend this place, the guys are fantastic

What a great experience. Third or fourth visit. Food is excellent and Simon has a passion that shines through, he obviously loves to see folk enjoying themselves. Staff delightful, we will return. Great choice of music which completes the experience . Jonathan, Alison, Dimon & Suzette xx

We very much enjoyed our night at out UTNT. Everyone eats at the same time to a fixed menu, much of which is cooked outside on coals/BBQ. The fixed nature of it all takes away the hassle of choosing so we enjoyed that (although of course, there might be something served which you don't fancy). Bring your own drinks which was fine. The inside eating room is a revamped barn which is quirky and interesting and it all works really well. Highly recommended for something a little different.

Our staff Christmas do. We had visited 3x earlier this year and thought it had the right atmosphere and could accommodate our vegetarian and vegan needs. It did. Catered for 22. Nice spot at one end of the barn, so the first tike we were inside. Everyone had a great time. Especially the naughty elves. Pitta and feta dip to start, slow roast belly pork and roast potatoes with awesome carrots and a chocolate mousse to finish. Can't fault it. Did I mention the download play list ? you could market that !

Sssh - don't tell too many people about this place or you'll never be able to get a table ... What a fabulous place to go for a relaxed and informal night out - we had an absolutely brilliant evening. Simon and Carolina are superb hosts - so welcoming and accommodating. From the second we arrived we felt like we were old friends returning to make their day. Having welcomed us warmly, they then served up the most magnificent fare from their daily set menu: a generous helping of lasagne and focaccia as a starter, exquisitely cooked beef and roasties from the bespoke barbeques accompanied with green beans and mushrooms, finished off with a gorgeous tiramisu. There's nothing about this place we would want to change save for it being closer to where we live so we could go again and again. We'll get back there though, this is a gem of a spot.

What a wonderful evening! A beautiful setting, even in the middle of winter - the lighting and decorations make it very special in the barn. Absolutely delicious food - the beef was some of the best I’ve ever tasted! Simon, Carolina and their team could not have been more welcoming and went above and beyond to give us a very special evening. We’re not local but will back!

Maybe I was at a different place, cold draughty barn,with one toilet. When the food arrived all I could taste was the burned flavour.,I had the feeling the staff were more impressed with the product than we were. I think £35 a head might have been nearer the mark ,for that offering £50 a head was a tadd punchey.

The most fantastic experience. This place is unlike any other - the food is mouthwateringly good and the ambience, music and hosts are simply amazing. They just get everything right. It's my second visit and they have exceeded my expectations both times. Absolute gem of a place. Well done to everyone involved - you make it seem effortless to give your guests the most magical evening.

It is out in the middle of nowhere but what a find! Beautiful setting, even on a cold, misty night. A very friendly welcome from the guys there and the lab roaming around and was lovely to watch them all cooking our dinner. The metal tree sculpture they cook on is just like nothing you've ever seen. The barn we ate in was so pretty and eclectic. But the food... wow... some seriously big flavours going on! Plentiful and delicious! Wasn't like going to a restaurant.. it was like going round a friends for a big bbq party. Really lovely evening... Will definitely return!

Absolutely astounding location and meal, we sat outside in October, but the combination of the open fires and cooking meant we were more than warm enough - to be honest it seemed a better atmosphere than their space inside. The BBQ and fire pits really add to the atmosphere and the team geniunly care for you, at times it feels youve been invited to their garden for a BBQ! Easily the best meal out I have had all year, I will return!

Finally managed to get here and it surpassed all expectations. Fabulous food, lovely friendly staff and an experience to remember. Will definitely come again.

Simplicity should never be underrated when it is done with passion and love. Which is definitely something they do so well. Beautiful setting, colder months you need to make sure you either book to sit indoors or ensure you have appropriate clothing, they do have some fantastic fires for the outside. Make sure you take what you want to drink. It might be worth getting a taxi home to get fully immersed in the whole chilled experience. Dining is so much easier, knowing that what is being cooked is what you are getting, saving the time to enjoy the evening with conversation with others that you may be sharing the evening with. It also stops any harsh discussions on who had extra when sharing the bill at the end. The passion of the people comes through the fantastic tasting food and thier welcome. A beautiful taste of Herefordshire 💗💗💗

At our eclectic rendition of the "Last Supper," 12 of us gathered around the table. Ten of us were old comrades, and the evening promised to be filled with familiar tales and laughter. But the universe had a delightful twist in store for us. Enter a charismatic husband and wife duo we had just met. They weren't just any couple; they were a treasure trove of tales, regaling us with stories that ranged from the hilarious to the heartwarming. Every anecdote was a journey, and we found ourselves hanging on to their every word. As if the evening wasn't already brimming with surprises, there was a celebrity sighting! A few tables away sat a famed rugby player. In a bout of audacious camaraderie, we offered him one of our prized Cuban cigars. Holding up his roll-up fag with a grin, he kindly declined, mentioning he didn't partake in cigars. The moment was a blend of irony and humor, adding another chapter to our evening's storybook. The venue, ever so accommodating, allowed us the luxury of our own champagne and the liberty to light up our cigars. The meat was a gastronomic marvel, but truly, with the company of newfound storytellers, a star athlete's cameo, and the ambient charm of the place, the evening was nothing short of legendary. To serendipitous encounters and tales that never end! Five stars!

One of the most magical restaurants I have ever visited. Everyone needs to go. Amazing atmosphere, great food, and the most incredible setting. I can’t wait to go back.

Magical venue, warm & friendly service & delicious food. Simon and Carolina are such fantastic hosts and have created an unforgettable experience which is a real gem. This was our 4th visit from Surrey & we will definitely be back again. So glad we found it!

We were so impressed by how the food was cooked, the service and the atmosphere, such a great experience and the food absolutely delicious! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming This was our first visit but will definitely be back. So, it’s a bit smelly, but you wouldn’t expect anything else from a bbq, a great meal

Wow! We had a magical evening here last night. The weather was a bit drizzly so we were in the beautiful barn, cosy and full of home grown dahlias. We took our teenage sons with us and we all thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The food was plentiful and amazing. We had beef and roast potatoes with garlic mushrooms and rocket and Parmesan salad. Dessert was delicious lemon cloud pie. We sat around the fire after dinner and relaxed in the comfy chairs underneath the lights. .The hosts were lovely and we had a very special evening. I didn’t want to leave. Thanks, we’ll be back.

This isn’t somewhere you’d happen across. Reservations are absolutely necessary and it is in a remote location. However it is more than worth the effort of booking and getting there. It is a simply wonderful experience, which reflects the quality of the food and the ambience. First thing is it isn’t licensed so it works on a BYO basis, but there isn’t a corkage charge. If you don’t organise to take screw tops they do have a few corkscrews. It’s a fixed fee, fixed menu. I’ve no idea how they cope with allergies or other food challenges. However it’s simple, straightforward and great quality food. We paid £50 a head for three courses which was exceptionally good value in the minds of everyone in our party of 6. Starter was a chicken kebab with a delightful garlic and chilli sauce. Main course was beef steak and roast potatoes from the BBQ, which was of itself a work of art (yes, literally) and desert was a fabulous key lime pie. We had sufficient to take away for our dog’s breakfast. Dogs were not only welcomed but positively embraced. Serving staff were fantastic. They struck a great balance between service and casual, friendly interaction. I’d recommend this place to friends and family and, next time in that part of the world, would definitely go again.

A rare find we feel lucky to have found! Great atmosphere, food and importantly people. Thank you!

Brought friends from London, blown away by the atmosphere and wow what a bbq galvanised master sculpture! Beautiful beef with amazing salad dressing

We’d been meaning to visit Under The Nut Tree for a while. A rare night with childcare led to a last minute reservation. Booking was straightforward and quick over messenger. The atmosphere, setting, scenery and food are all exceptional. The team are friendly, attentive and...

Absolutely faultless. A beautiful location We have been a few times and have had an amazing time The food is lovely, the service and atmosphere is one of a kind.

Just the two of us visited on a recommendation. Everyone was so lovely and welcoming, felt like you were at an old friends for dinner. Food was delicious and the garden stunning. We’ve booked again for a few weeks time which I think says it...

Simply one of the most amazing meals out I’ve had in my lifetime. We left late in the evening, full and a bit smoky, and loved every second. It was a completely unique experience, made by a wonderful setting, helpful and enthusiastic staff - and yes of course incredible food, which was obviously cooked with great skill, care and passion. Thank you Under the Nut Tree team. We can’t wait to come back!

We were also at the Nut Tree last night - in the rain, and after an hours drive. Chris clearly was at a different Nut Tree. The one we visited was fabulous - in all respects. Quality ingredients, simply & thoughtfully served, beautiful setting, lovely...

Let’s get some truth onto the Trip-Advisor write up on Under the Nut Tree! The weather was awful and has to be factored in to my thinking. £50 is way over the top for what we were served. And one of those horrible tills that...

What a totally magical place! From the moment you arrive and walk towards the beautiful barn and gardens, you are transported into another world. The whole team were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Then, there is the food.. delicious, fresh and full...

What an amazing place, the food was outstanding and the surroundings were beautiful, the owners were so welcoming and friendly and the staff brilliant, we will Definitely be recommending and returning to this wonderful place Many thanks Kim Andy

Absolutely beautiful location and a very warm greeting from the hosts and the dog. However we thought it was a bit pricey at £50 per head, a vegetarian option was offered and it was 2 small slices of aubergine with a drizzle of honey. 1...

A beautiful setting and delicious aromas greeted us on arrival. Having read the reviews we were expecting great things. It was nice to experience something different to the average Hereford dining experience, however, we didn't feel that it was worth the money. Personally, I don't...

Really special place, our large group were greeted like old friends - we were well looked after, felt very welcome and the food was excellent. The bad weather didn’t ruin our evening, we had a huge beautifully decorated barn to ourselves and the pleasure of...

This really is a brilliant experience. 2nd time we have been and it just does not disappoint. Fantastic atmosphere and super food. Superb value for the experience alone.

Only heard about UTNT this week and in an absent minded moment googled and set up a date night given they had a late cancellation. Hereford hidden gem. <10miles from Hereford and Mt Eliza's own has set up a great venue for more than just...

Just got home after a truly delightful evening at this beautiful place. It really is something unique and special with the team making it feel like you’re part of a large family gathering. We were blessed with the weather too, which as the sun set...

Very different venue down a long single track road thankfully we didn't meet another car. About 100 people set out in the garden area.. Nice atmosphere.. Food was good but not amazing for the price.. The Beef was the best bit.. Asparagus was a bit...

Highly recommended. We shall return. This place reminds me of casual outside dining - the sort of thing I associate with USA or rural France in the summer. The weather was good, which made it successful, but I'm sure they can adjust to suit cooler...

Absolutely fantastic food and ambience, so chilled. The hosts make you feel like family friends and watching the amazing food cooking while you chat is a real treat. The rib of beef was perfectly cooked, and beautifully accompanied by roast potatoes that would put most...

Driving down the blackest of country lanes, suddenly strings of festoon lights, hanging off the hedges give you a clue to the venue! Easy parking, more twinkling lights (always a winner), a rustic pathway then leads you to Utopia - aka the outdoor kitchen! Simon...

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with smiles and warmth from the host’s. The open fires were perfect to take the chill off while you wait for the food to be ready and enjoy the surroundings. The food was beautiful from start to...

We heard about this lovely experience via a local Facebook page. It was quite a long drive away and the weather forecast was dreadful, reassurances that if it was raining we could sit in the barn conjured up images of hay bales and dust. So...

Superb dinning experience. Excellent food; very warm and welcoming greeting from all the staff,a truly different evening. Almost difficult to describe but believe me the drive out to find this (unique) country restaurant is well worth the effort. I would say,everyone in the restaurant had...

We visited last weekend with friends. Fabulous atmosphere, blooming amazing food and top hosts! The hosts also went the extra mile- my other half has a serious nut allergy and nothing was too much hassle. I also left my sunglasses there 🤦🏼‍♀️- the hosts kindly...

Fantastic setting, excellent service, chicken starter and beef main had no bbq/wood smoked flavour, dessert was very good. We left feeling disappointed.

I have never been to a dining experience like this and without a doubt would recommend to friends. A very special atmosphere with lovely staff a lovely location and even better food.

My second visit was amazing...ONLY issue was that the salad was really very poor Just lettuce (I think) - and not great lettuce at that For £50 a head I would expect great salads packed with tomatoes, eggs, cucumber - the lot also - did...

“Wow” would just suffice but you can’t leave a review that short. Our first visit and an amazing experience. Superb ambience, great hosts, exceptional service and brilliant food. The team here have created a superb dining experience. My only complaint is that the evening went...

We visited as part of a large group celebrating a birthday. Our tables were laid up right under the Nut Tree. The food cooked on the open fires was wonderful and the atmosphere was so relaxing. We had the Pork and i have not tated...

The four of us had a fantastic experience, super evening made more enjoyable by the relaxed atmosphere, friendly hosts and great food. We'll be back

Went here for their asado lunch today and from the moment we were greeted by Carolina and Simon the whole afternoon was wonderful. The food was excellent, flavoursome and cooked over an open fire. The atmosphere in the barn was informal and friendly; someone was...

My sister and I visited for the porchetta night. Atmosphere was lovely and so welcoming. And the food…… it was amazing!!!! We had such a great evening; sitting around the fire pit supping margaritas to wandering around the garden looking at the stunning dahlias. Food...

The kind of outdoor, fire cooked food and atmosphere you never manage to achieve at home. Don’t take my word for it, try it.

If you want great food, to be able to see it being cooked, friendly, helpful hosts and to feel like your at your friends BBQ then this is for you. The location is superb and I left a very happy man. If it had rained...

Quite honestly one of the best meals we have ever eaten! The tastes the chef gave each part of each dish were exquisite and then but together there is no words to say how amazing this meal was. To top it off every single member...

We visited Under the Nut Tree for my birthday with five friends. The welcome from Simon’s family is warm and inviting. You get to enjoy drinks in front of the fire and mix with locals and visitors. The barn is uniquely decorated in vintage materials....

This whole place is amazing. A wonderful concept in beautiful scenery. Lovely ambience. Food was supposed to be served at 7.30. We were warned that service would be 8.00 at nearly half past eight no sign of food. I understand that the chicken needed longer...

Myself and my husband visited the lovely under the nut tree on 11th June. Our 3 course meal was amazing! The food was so tasty, cooked to perfection and plenty of. The setting was perfect, beautifully set out, little touches such as home grown flowers...

Never before have I gone to a restaurant or eatery and been made to feel like I was a personal guest of the owners. The entire experience was more like being at a wedding or private party. The way Simon has laid out the eating...

I have been here once before - fabulous food, great atmosphere. Did not disappoint the second time around. With all the chatter and great music, not forgetting the ping pong tables, beautiful garden and open fires, it is like being at a party. So relaxed,...

Imagine this: you drive down yet another unassuming country road, pull in to a small gravelled area, park up and head towards the source of all the music, laughter and chatter. You walk through a leafy archway and you’re greeted by the most charming of...

Lucky find on the internet led us to Under the nut tree. We were a bit unsure what to expect. In the event we got a warm welcome. A unique dining experience and the loviest meat I have ever eaten; bar none. Driving home we...

Have seen this on Facebook for a while. We finally booked. We arrived early at 6.30. I’m currently on crutches, and the hosts were so friendly and helpful. We sat around the fires and chatted. It was stunning. Fire. Good company. Wine we’d brought along....

Not for the effete diner. A place for people with an appetite for life, by nature gregarious, by inclination hungry, by persuasion malleable. Mine Host and Mrs Host are three-dimensional in their ambition to help people enjoy themselves, and in this respect they get a...

Herefordshire is so lacking great food destinations so how excited we were to be recommended this one. The owners are so very friendly,relaxed and helpful. We booked in for dinner with the knowledge that steak was on the menu and if requested a vegetarian option...

We had a great night at under the nut tree - super food, atmosphere and company. If you are looking for a fun relaxed night out that’s a bit different from the norm look no further - Definitely will be returning here

Spent a fabulous evening at Under the Nut Tree to celebrate my son’s birthday . Arrived at 6.45 and sat around the fire pits and bbq, chatting to the very welcoming hosts and other diners. Great atmosphere and toasty warm. Moved inside to eat around...

What an amazing place. Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, excellent venue, excellent hosts. I think the last time I enjoyed a dinner night out like this was 20 years ago on the other side of the planet. Honestly amazing. Just go!

Unbelievable ambiance. It's like you've died and gone to heaven. Not sure how you could possibly beat the food. Just go you won't regret it.

The friendliest hosts, the most gorgeous set up, the tastiest food we’ve ever eaten. And the most perfect soundtrack to a wonderful evening. Would recommend to everyone, an unforgettable experience!

Superb food, beautiful setting, wonderful hosts, we had a great evening celebrating my husbands birthday. Really don’t want to world to find out how good this place is or we’ll never get a booking again !! Gorgeous and different - can’t wait to go for...

Everytime we go to this beautifully situated restaurant we are made to feel special by Simon and Carolina. The outdoor area is so pretty with lots of fairy lights and the tables are laid individually. There are plenty of fire pits to keep you warm...

Went here on a whim whilst we were on holiday for a long weekend and the food was so good, we begged to come back for a second night! The guys were so friendly and made us feel right at home. Cannot recommend enough!!

So pleased to have had a second visit. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is just awesome - very relaxed and super friendly. We booked our next visit before we left (we will be bringing friends) and we cannot wait.

16th April. This was my third visit and definitely won't be my last. A very warm welcome from Simon & Carolina. Excellent starter, main and pud. Looking forward to celebrating my birthday with them in October.

We were given a lovely welcome by Simon and Carolina when we arrived for dinner last Friday. It is in an amazing location nestling in the hills around Kentchurch. We ate our dinner in the beautiful old Herefordshire barn - nothing too much trouble as...

The best BBQ we’ve ever had! What a superb evening, thank you for the hospitality and delicious food, setting and atmosphere.

A beautiful location with a great view rarely if ever guarantees beautiful food at a great price. But nestled in the dreamy green hills of Herefordshire on one of England’s most beautiful country estates, you can find one of the most satisfying and reasonably-priced rustic...

What a glorious evening we had under the nut tree! Simon is quite the maestro over the flames and produces wonderful food. We had the lamb shoulder with feta and pomegranate, and we'd love to come back for more. The chicken parfait starter is to...

Set remotely on the Monmouthshire/Herefordshire border. This is a beautiful place,serving beautiful food. We had a truly stunning night.

This was Simon's first night. Four of us had a very enjoyable evening in a perfect setting. The food was utterly delicious and the service impeccable. I believe Under the Nut Tree has a very promising future.

We were lucky enough to enjoy dinner on the opening night. Simon and Carolina are delightful, extremely welcoming and friendly. The location is absolutely beautiful and the food was delicious. Highly recommended. I will definitely be returning!
