Seven of us had an absolutely splendid luncheon this Wednesday 19th February. In a charming country pub, in an almost private room off the main part of the pub and its other dining spaces. We had a most leisurely repast of two courses, with ales, ciders and wine. The menu was nicely varied and most appropriate for these cool days. Servings sizes were spot on. The excellence was in the flavours and in the textures. There was time between ordering and the courses for convivial chatter and merriment, so time just flew by before the settlement time arrived.
We were very well after by the staff who had full knowledge of what was on offer, such every question answered with confidence and authority. The facilities were well looked after and clean, with obvious recent investment expended.
All in all, a cracking good lunch. We shall be back!
No. 3 lived up to my high expectations having read all the excellent reviews. What a treat! Welcoming professional staff, menu with seasonal and local produce, beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. It was buzzing on a Saturday lunchtime but the service was prompt and friendly. Booking is probably wise as it seems very deservedly to be the best place to eat in this characterful little town. We hope to be back soon.
We cycled over 10 miles to visit this entity which apparently has not been a tea room for over 3 years. It is still showing on the Herefordshire publicity material and cycle guides as a tea room. The photographs on Trip Advisor are also very misleading. There are currently no tea rooms in Pembridge.
I found the green cow kitchen @ Crumplebury very underwhelming and the experience is highly missold.
Firstly, the concept of calling it a chefs table when in reality you’re being sat in a large room on a long table with about 20 other guests was a big shock. There was no personal experience nor were the dishes introduced over the sound of other guests on the table.
I’d like to bring you attention to the definition of a chefs table: A table located in the kitchen of a restaurant, reserved for special guests and allowing them to see the chef at work and sometimes to be served a tasting menu.
I’ve experienced some great restaurants and when you read what you may experience from a particular restaurant you do normally experience exactly that. In this case I feel like it is very much over compensated with the wording online.
The food was genuinely sub standard. The courses didn’t seem anything special, the flavour selections were interesting. Nothing wowed me about the food, drinks or service.
I had some conversations with the guests that were also awfully disappointed, however, they did say they have had better experiences there at Crumplebury in the past.
One positive about the experience is that the grounds of Crumplebury are nice, on a farm and very nicely lit at night.
Such a comfortable, welcoming place to stay for the night. Breakfast was really delicious, the white table cover and beautiful cloth napkins were a lovely touch!
Food is great veggie, vegan and meat. Proper tea in a pot and lovely coffee.
They welcome dogs. It’s very small but welcoming. There’s some seats up the narrow stairs.
Fantastic pub only had drinks on previous visits but today we had made a Sunday lunch time booking and we had a fantastic lunch and it’s a credit to Karen and her team at the venue.
Went here with my family, sisters, partners and children.
We had the EN BBQ. It was amazing.
Even the kids enjoyed the food.
Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff. Would defo recommend.
This is a sad review as we learned that the new owners are closing the B and B in August for a indefinite period. We had a great time very welcoming and a great breakfast. Good luck Gerry and Roger.
As a small, local restaurant and having recently received a Michelin Star, my wife and I were really looking forward to visiting 33 The Homend. We were not disappointed.
The restaurant offers a concise a la carte menu, with all of the dishes sounding wonderful with a few ingredient combinations we hadn't experienced before. Chef James ensured the food was exceptional and we will certainly look to visiting the restaurant again in the future.
I must also give a shout out to Elziabeth who looks after service and front of house - her friendliness and enthusiasm are infectious and certainly helped make the night memorable.
Would certainly recommend and will definitely visit again in the future.
Had heard from friends how good The Bells is so were very happy to visit and were not diappointed! Friendly hosts, good food, good service and a lovely fire! What's not to like! Will definitely be returning.
One of our favourite 'go to' spots for afternoon refreshments on a weekend. The staff are very friendly and can highly recommend their smoothies and/or cream teas! The animals outside are a great added bonus too, especially if you have kids... Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
