Stopped here for lunch Bank Holiday Monday, sat in the spacious garden with the dogs and ate some good quality food. Pub food has become so expensive last few years that what was once a regular activity has become a treat. So great when you do get good food and lovely staff.

Met up with family for a casual Sunday lunch and was not disappointed. We had visited previously and enjoyed it so was looking forward to returning. The portions were huge and plentiful and served in separate dishes, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We did wait a short time be seated but we could see they were extremely busy. Great to see a little independent pub doing well.

We recently booked an overnight stay at the Premier Inn Ross on Wye only to find their restaurant had closed. We looked for a nearby place where we could eat dinner and as this pub was less than 10 mins away we gambled on it being ok! The pub is an olde world type place in lovely gardens and the ambience was quiet but very nice. We were given a warm welcome by the friendly staff and there was a good choice of food. The food served was really excellent in every way, hot, plentiful and of an excellent quality and I would recommend the steak and mushroom pie which was served with a choice of potatoes and a selection of vegetables……yummy! My wife had the chicken in leek and cider sauce which she also thoroughly enjoyed! Don’t have rhubarb crumble, which was excellent, but enough to feed an army! Prices were also very reasonable! Thank you to all for coming to the rescue!

After being away from the county of my birth for 24 years it was lovely to find that the friendliness & hospitality of the Herefordshire people is still alive & well, & is never more in evidence than at the Weston Cross Inn. The Landlord Graham & his wife Lesley were delightful as were two of their staff, Anna & David. The food, home-cooked, was very enjoyable as was a very nice glass of Malbec. I would certainly recommend a visit to the Weston Cross to anyone visiting the Wye valley.

I visited on Friday evening when on a date night with my husband. It's a traditional pub with a great food offering and very helpful and friendly staff. They had a folk night on in the bar area and it was great to see it so well supported. I would highly recommend this place and definitely give it a try.

We booked at table at the Weston cross for a party of 17 the staff were very welcoming and went above and beyond to make our evening very enjoy we pre-ordered and all meals came out piping hot which can be very hard to achieve on a large table. The landlady Lesley came over and introduced herself and to check everything was ok with our meals I would definitely highly recommend the Weston cross and will be returning very soon.

I visited for an evening meal with 17 other women, unfortunately it had only been booked for 17. I had ordered roast beef - was the last to be served to be told there was no more. ? (I suspect pre-packed roast dinners..). The lady in charge then stood in the middle of the room bemoaning the fact that the numbers were wrong; she made me feel as if it were my fault and was quite unhelpful. She said did I want fish and chips? Or cottage pie? Eventually brought a menu (suspiciously large) and I chose sirloin. At which point she said I would have to pay more for that! Of course when the food was brought out most of the others had finished their meal. The meat was gristly and I left most of it. (my friend had a doggy bag for her dog and that is where it went to) When I went to pay she didn't charge extra for the sirloin which was just as well. I have given one star for service, I may say the other girls serving were fine. The food, may be one star as well I am afraid. We are all locals, and this pub will not be getting our support again.

Distinctly average lunch experience. If you like factory made starters (samosas/prawn sticks etc) warmed up for service, and pre-cut meats for your Sunday main, rather than freshly cooked, with uninspiring overcooked vegetables, then this is for you. Pleasant, attentive service by the young woman waitress redeemed our experience a little but not enough to encourage our return. The whole offering needs investment.

We visited here for second time as a family and the food and service was good but you could hear a pin drop so made the conversation difficult as the people around us were listening to every single word we said. Very off putting. Needs background music desperately. The people on the other table agreed. Please play some gentle music.

Although not ever living in the area I've Driven past this place LOADS & LOADS of times on my way to visit family further along the road in Ross-on-Wye. Last Saturday when visiting Ross one of the family suggested going here for a change as they use it regularly and they said it was good. They weren't exaggerating it was a CRACKING EXPERIENCE from the time we walked in the door to going back out to the carpark. Thank you Western Cross my wife and I will in future use you again. 👍😀💂♂️

Lovely Rural Pub , Excellent Sunday Roast . The beef was locally sourced, and the vegetables were fresh and all home cooked. Very tasty. The veg came out in serving trays with a gravy boat. If you need more veg just ask and the friendly staff will bring some more out at no extra cost. The road dinner was delicious, as were the pudding we had as well. Will definitely return again soon .

We were met by friendly staff on both our visits (once for a drink, once for a meal). They do a nice drop of Bass, but my wife's tea was only offered in a cup, not a pot - so no refill ... When we ate we made a mistake - we had starters. Don't get me wrong, they were delicious -and quite hefty (whitebait, and a black-pudding-bacon-and-cheese stack) - these would have been a good meal for lunch. When the mains came (lamb rump, and faggots, we could neithr of us finihs the massive protions but they do offer doggy bags. The chips I left behind did us both the follwoing evening with some oven fish. I was served enough mushy peas to feed four or five people. Delicious and good value for money. Regrettably, but not surprisingly, we had no room for dessert, so can't comment on the quality of theirs puddings.

I can only review what I had but the others looked pretty good to. I started with a Black Pudding, Bacon and Cheese stack, it was astonishing I was served steaming hot and a wonderful taste, it could serve as a Main if you had chips with it. That was followed by local faggots from Hanks Game in Ross-on-Wye, again absolutely fabulous, I will be checking out Hank's butchers soon, and look forward to returning to the Cross.

We visited on a cold damp miserable lunchtime and the welcome was warm and inviting. We had been previously whilst visiting with friends so fancied calling in. Given the COVID times the measures they have taken are safe and secure. We were seated in a lovely bar area where the tables are well spaced and the room was spotless. The food arrived promptly and was tasty, plentiful and the server checked back after a couple of minutes to see if we needed any more drinks. I had the Wye valley pie and my partner had a gammon steak. Both were cooked beautifully and the plates were warm as well- something you don’t often get these days. I recommend visiting if you are in the area.

Drinks were served on arrival along with the mandatory track and trace. Food arrived and was beautifully cooked and alll piping hot.

Having been keeping "safe" for many months this weekend we ventured forth to the Weston Cross. We have only been using the take out service during this time.So impressed with the hygiene tasks being carried out by the staff. Much better we hear than many other establishments in the area.With table spacing you feel safe in the knowledge the team are doing a good job.. The tables are booked and then reserved with your name on.Enough has already been said about the great food served previously so wont mention it. But I was appalled by the comments by the person who couldnt bring a dog into the bar dining area on a wet day - whats happened to common sense!. Of course, dogs not allowed. I have a dog but wouldnt dream of having it in an area where people were eating. Its a stressful time for everyone and sometimes communication can be lost but surely the complainer should have realised that hygiene and a pleasant environment for the many comes first. - But then to lose it on trip advisor. Pathetic, in these particularly sad times.

We booked lunch here for noon and we asked if dogs were welcome to which they replied “ Outside - Yes”. Due to the weather, we booked our meals online and I asked if we would be able to eat inside. I was told yes. We turned up in dreadful weather and the waitress lead us to a table. I assume it was a very grumpy owner who said “ No dogs inside”. No apologies.Even the waitress looked stunned in disbelief !We got up to leave and she said “ So your leaving ? Your not going to sit outside under a brolly ? “ ( It was bouncing of the road). I shook my head and left disgusted by this.As folks will know, if you have not booked in advanced, you cant get in anywhere at short notice.Covid is financial crisis for this industry but common manners and decency should be standard these days.This week, we have eaten at the old court hotel and the red lion inn. Very friendly, very accommodating. Thank you.Cant comment on the food but we hope its better than the welcome !

As our son has Coeliac disease we initially chose this pub as they were recommended on the Coeliac UK website, and it was great. After a friendly welcome from the owners, with drinks in the garden before our meal, the food was delicious. Our son loved his gluten free fish & chips, our adults mains were superb and our younger son loved his kid’s pasta. The gluten free cookies and ice cream were a real treat! They offer a very wide ranging menu. We were also really impressed with all the Covid-19 prevention measures that they have put in place, which is clearly very hard work on top of serving drinks and food. If we’re ever back in the area we will definitely return. Thanks!

One of the things which attracted me to the Weston Cross (apart from the fact that it's not far from home and the staff are super-friendly) is the variety of fish dishes on the menu. Not just the "traditional fish and chips" you find on most pub menus. So I ordered smoked haddock with a poached egg. And it was perfect. I mean the haddock was excellent, but the poached egg was perfect - and I know from bitter experience how difficult that is. 10 out of 10 for the chef.We were with a group of friends and not one had a duff meal. Our only complaint - the servings were huge (this is the Forest of Dean after all, where small portions are a hanging offence).Swift and friendly service, very reasonable prices and a lovely and out-of-the-ordinary choice of desserts. Plus easy parking and - in the summer if it ever comes - a lovely outdoor play area for children.

Unbelievably rude and poor customer service, I would suggest to rethink your booking policy and at least give people time to actually finish eating before asking them to leave!!For this reason we won't be back

Didnt stay for a meal. Staff put off regulars by keeping the doors barred then offered a substantially reduced menu because they had 'a party' to cater for. This party we observed consisted of twelve. In other words the equivalent of a large home dinner party! A glimpse into the kitchen showed rather under occupied staff! Clearly a local Fawlty Towers of dysfunctionality

As you drive past this pub looks stunning, beautiful flower baskets, really inviting. We were staying in the Penyard Hotel about 5mins walk down the road so popped up for a drink at about 8.30 in the evening. We walked in and first thought was about the decor being a bit worn out. There’s traditional pub but this is just a bit shabby and definitely doesn’t live up to the exterior. Most disappointing though was the lack of good ales. We’re surrounded by good breweries but I was told the only ales available were Bass or London Pride. That’s not good. The service from the bar staff was adequate but not particularly friendly, no response to my good night as we left (pretty much as quickly as we could).

My daughter fancied my lunch more so we swapped.The elderly gentleman / owner mention TWICE why Am I eating just kids portion ? My answer was that I am enjoying that , and will have pudding . After pudding the racist comments started ! I am from Europe my husband and kids English. I also have British citizenship after 30 yr in UK. He kept asking where I am from, and that I would have to go home. and would I be ALLOWED to STAY !! In UK after Brexit. I couldn’t not believe what am I hearing !!!

AVOID if you happen to be from outside of UK . my English husband and daughters were horrified to put it mildly ! Just disgusting!

Pub looks lovely from outside but inside is tired and dated. Read previous reviews and looked forward to a great meal. Firstly, we asked for a table for 2, admittedly we hadn't booked it being a Tuesday evening we thought we'd be OK but the chef was very ungracious, made us feel we were inconveniencing them, then we're told after purchasing a drink at the bar to go through to the sinning room. Our order was taken but people entering after us were served first and we waited till last to receive our meal which although hot and freshly cooked was distinctly average and not the food reviews inclined us to expect. We went to pay and were charged again on the bill for the drinks we had paid for at the bar on arrival, these were removed after I pointed it out. All in all the service was poor, staff a bit basil fawlty and the food very average, deserts were in a chiller cabinet and were cheesecake or ice cream. Wouldn't go again or recommend unless you like to be made to feel they are doing you a favour in serving you

One thing about this area seems to be the lack of dog friendly pubs doing meals. Sure there are a few but they know how to charge and some are not all that friendly. We passed the Weston Cross inn a couple of times before we checked it out on the internet and found it was dog friendly(in the bar) and seemed to have a reasonable menu. Not disappointed at all, we went 3 evenings running and enjoyed every visit. Food very good and not left wanting, the staff are great. Will be sure to visit again next time we are in the area.

I came here 10 years ago, and it was dated then, Nothing has changed, very old furniture and carpets. Beautiful pub on the outside but terribly dated inside. It was a warm day, so we sat outside, but were told we had to eat inside, as they were short staffed! - not impressed. The dining room was very cramped with very very average unimaginative pub food. There is a cake fridge in the dining room. It is 2019 not 1989!. Outside we had a nice view of the pub staff laundry. Why don’t the owners fence this off? In the pub garden, there is what appears to be a large septic tank, why is this monstrosity not disguised. Maybe try again in 2029.

We ate and drank here on our first evening in the area. The waitress who served us,although new to the job and in the process of being trained by another relatively new member of staff, was extremely helpful , pleasant, polite and professional. The menu choice is massive and all very reasonably priced. There are lovely gardens to sit in and a large slide and swings for children. We enjoyed it so much that we returned on our second night in the area - for a drink only on that occasion as we had already eaten. Again, great welcome, from the friendly helpful staff. Would highly recommend!

This public house was visited for an evening meal and was not disappointed. There was a large chalkboard with many different choices. When served, it was presented well by friendly staff, even though the venue was full with patrons using the large garden for meals and drinks. The meals were a little more expensive than the regular pub chain meals, but it was well worth it. It was cooked to perfection with a lot of flavour. Thanks to everyone for looking after us on Friday night.

Delicious home cooked food at reasonable prices. Owners give a very warm welcome and don’t hassle you to order quick. Easy to find on the A40 (though you don’t hear any road noise) in the middle of the village and 10 min walk from Penyard House Hotel.

Visiting the area on holiday, and the visitors book at the cottage recommended this Inn as a place to eat. They couldn't have been more right.

We called in on a whim as we were passing. Had not been there for a couple of years. Found it to be clean comfortable, staff were attentive and pleasant. The meal was well cooked and presented hot and enjoyable. Will be going back soon.

Stayed nearby and walked to the pub. Very warmly welcomed by staff. Ate there on 3 occasions. All the food was home cooked and absolutely lovely. Recommendations were given about local attractions which was very helpful. Totally recommend this pub. Many thanks for three lovely evenings.

We have been to the Weston cross Inn on a number of occasions over the last three years, each time to Celebrate a Birthday or Anniversary of Friends or Relatives. The Restaurant has just the right atmosphere for this sort of Gathering and celebration, coupled with Excellent Food, Good attention to detail and friendly service.

My wife, her 98 year old mother and myself went here for Sunday Lunch.Mother in law doesn't manage to get out very often and so was really looking forward to it. We chose here based on TripAdvisor but our experience was far from other reviews had stated. When we arrived we were asked for drink order almost before we sat down. Beer was good. Then we ordered the meal. After we ordered my mother in law asked to use loo. This was going to be a slow process. As they were going out to loo the meal was coming in the opposite direction and dumped on the table. It was obvious the elderly lady was going to be a while and there was no offer of holding the meals until they got back. So the hot food Sat on the table until their slow return. Subsequently the food was cold when the elderly lady was only half way through as was ours. So she did not enjoy. The roast beef was not freshly cut it was warmed and flooded in gravy. It was lacking any real flavour. Plenty of vegetables on offer and good variety.

Don't be put off by dated interiors, the food and drinks are brilliant and the staff are perfect too. Dropped in by chance on a Sunday lunch and actually had steak and a venison pie - very well cooked and very generous portions. Would come back!

Lovely food, lovely service. No more to say. Visit this pub if you are in the area. This pub is a five minute walk from Penyard House. Have a walk and receive better food, better service, cheaper drinks and great customer service, unlike the hotel.

Hadn’t been here for years as there wasn’t much to recommend it under previous management, but was very pleasantly surprised when we called in on a Boxing Day walk. Well kept beer and extensive home made menu. Soup & pate were excellent, with plenty of toast for the latter. Will definitely be going back to try something more substantial.

lovely place, nice atmosphere, lovely choice of food, warm plates and ample portions, service not great, not very attentive staff, one of the worst places I and my family have eaten. Very annoying as it was a family gathering so very dissapointing

We were staying on the Malvern View Country and Leisure Park for a weekend stay which we could not fault. However, we dined at The Old Barnhouse on the Saturday evening and unfortunately the food was terrible. We waited for nearly an hour and when the food arrived it was half cold. My mother and father had scampi and chips, no peas and they were out of tartare sauce! My sister and I had the New Yorker chicken which consisted of a huge portion of coleslaw that wasn’t very nice and the chicken was small and if poor quality. My daughter had a kids pizza, chips and beans which was just about acceptable. The five meals and a round of drinks came to over £80 which was appalling for the quality of the food. Avoid The Old Barnhouse for food! Pleasant enough for a drink.

Rude, extremely disappointing, shocking and disrespectful staff! We arrived after making a booking the day before. I booked 2 Adults, 1 child aged 2. The booking itself was pleasant. We got slightly lost, rang in and again very pleasant. Arrived 7 minutes late and walked into a very ‘local’ pub feel. All eyes on us. We were told by the bar person that they were glad we found them. A woman appeared and looked at my Grandson and commented ‘we don’t have highchairs’ I commented that I’d booked ahead with a child on the booking? She said she would go down in the cellar and dust something suitable to bring up then asked me if I had a chair in my car???!!!! We approached the bar and I said I was confused as I’d booked a child ahead of coming. I was ignored, I said once again and the younger woman behind the bar looked at me and in a slightly raised voice utttered ‘well, yes she’s gone to get you something hasn’t she!!’ Based on this experience I told my Friend we were leaving as being treated like this was way beyond acceptable. I wasn’t happy and I let it be known! My Friend and I were left shocked and felt we had been treated appallingly by 2 extremely rude women. Whilst we were putting my Grandson in the car the older women came out and further patronised us with her offering of a dusted off cellar chair and we told her that her colleague was vile and it had gone beyond the chair. She walked off. Having read through the reviews I can see hands have changed and so this may be why I didn’t receive the reputation I had heard of. I have the feeling they felt they were above us! I’m not easily impressed so their Morgan cars and gold large Baroque chairs only further deepens my suspicions that they think they’re better 🤣🤣

I arranged a lunch here for my walking group of 40. The meals were excellent and served by friendly staff. It was a most enjoyable occasion.
