The best restaurants in Herefordshire, County of West Midlands

Great Sunday breakfast as always

Whitbread should be ashamed of themselves as I complained on the first Sunday in June and still waiting. Nobody cares and just read it's closing this week due to lack of performance. Shocking experience

Had our last breakfast here on the last day before they closed for good. Food amazing as usual. Very sad day. This restaurant has been a landmark for 50 years & yet no one still knows what the future holds for this building. There is nothing like it round here & nowhere for Premier Inn guest to eat. So short sighted of Whitbread to close such a busy iconic business. The staff are devastated. BIG MISTAKE WHITBREAD!! THIS WAS NOT AN UNDER PERFORMING SITE!! Gutted

Service excellent , food hot and O.K. Car park very dangerous with large holes, Marstons need to repair urgently before someone falls and claims compensation.

We stayed here overnight and booked the restaurant for our evening meal. Lovely staff, in a lovely surrounding. It’s a shame it was dark so we couldn’t see the views. Nice selection of starters, mains and desserts and we managed to enjoy all three. In the morning, the breakfast menu was plentiful and the sausage and bacon from a local butcher were very tasty.

Ordered and it took a long time to arrive - sausages are nothing but mechanically recovered meat slop and inedible in my opinion. The bacon had been overcooked and left hanging around for ages so it broke into pieces when I tried to put a fork into it. Baked beans rather sweet, black pudding a very thin slice fried to death and cheap barn eggs. Absolutely awful quality, badly cooked and the sausages were the worst I've had. I couldn't eat the bacon, sausages or black pudding which I had them remove from my plate when it arrived. I said I didn't wish to pay for the sausages or bacon which were a disgrace but was told they would only give 10% discount. Service was poor, they tried to say they were 'butchers sausages' when all meat comes from a butcher no matter how bad (and shame on the butcher) and I will NEVER be returning. The whole place looks grim and in need of decoration and a good tidy up. The theme of 50s/60s diner just doesn't work. Wish I didn't have to give this dump a single star.

Pleasant and efficient service. Good value food with plenty of variety on the menu and a well stocked bar. Also dog friendly.

Super breakfast, well cooked. Staff very helpful. Highly recommend. Perfect poached eggs, crispy bacon. We had the eggs with toast and able to add sausage. Also a full breakfast. The chefs special breakfast black pudding with eggs is a brilliant combination.

Despite the huge birthday party taking up the whole of the ground floor, the staff at Gilbies - and particularly our waitress Rachel - looked after the two of us wonderfully well. We were given a table up on the mezzanine floor, our drinks were brought and our order taken nice and quickly, and then the food turned up in really good time. And the food was great! A selection of delicious tapas dishes, the star of the show being the Teriyaki belly pork (we'd eaten here before, so we ordered two portions). The party downstairs was in full swing when we left, wishing the staff good luck for the rest of the evening. Another memorable meal, and we'll definitely book in at Gilbies again, next time we're down Hereford way.

We arrived on a Saturday evening without a booking having been let down elsewhere and we were greeted promptly and politely. We were shown to a table almost immediately and allowed time to settle before our server took our order. We eat out a lot and get served by people ranging from awful to outstanding and we were lucky today that our server was Lilly - a thoroughly engaging, competent and friendly young lady that would be an asset to any business. The food arrived promptly, well presented and tasted great. We had a variety of dishes including antipasto, breads, olives, pizza and fish cakes. All the food was lovely. Overall a great experience made all the better by a great young server. We're not from the area but if we were i think it would be a regular stop for us.

Had a giant Yorkshire pudding with meat of the day (Turkey). shame the potato was Smash!!! Yuk, ruined what would have been a lovely meal.

Excellent carvery roast dinner. I’m a veggie and the Brie and mushroom wellington is delicious :) My partner is Gluten free you have to wait a little for the Yorkshire pud, collie & broccoli cheese and the gravy to be cooked which is absolutely fine and equally as yummy :) My son loves the play areas so when we are waiting for the food he can go off and play :)

Great atmosphere with excellent friendly service. The menu offered great variety with a delicious scallop starter. The stuffed pheasant was fabulous as was a desert of soft cheese and pear.

Not just a beautiful place to eat, but the food was top notch, as in cooed to perfection, presented well and served with a smile. Even the local clientele were very friendly and welcoming. We were greeted with a happy attitude, which settled us down for a great lunch. It was a Tuesday lunchtime, and just became busier throughout our stay, so booked early. I'm 71 and have to say it has been one of my best lunchtime experiences. It is also an historical place. Nice location by the river, room outside for dogs and even humans. Thank you to both of the staff in attendance.

This will not be the most atmospheric venue you will ever have encountered but stick with it. It certainly won't be the most sophisticated either as, at seven o'clock on the dank September evening that we walked in, two regulars sitting at the bar appeared to be in earnest and intense competition over who could use the eff word most often in any given sentence. However, as they both left soon after we arrived, the expletives dried up leaving us to enjoy a drink at our table in the window and order what the pub is now well known for, namely pizza. And the pizza is first class, a bottle of wine can be had at a reasonable price and certainly better value than ordering by the glass, and the staff do their very best to make you welcome. You order at the bar but the food comes to you. A basic, crisp based pizza with tomato, cheese and pepperoni will set you back £12.50 with an extra pound giving you the likes of extra mushrooms or fresh chilli. You cannot fault the quality or the traditional method of preparation with a large oven set at the rear of the pub. We booked a circular table in the window that looked out over this lovely old market town although being a Thursday we needn't have bothered but come Fridays and the weekend do make a reservation to get a window seat which should keep you far enough away from those blokes who like to throw eff bombs about at each other. And, if you enjoy a very good pizza at a very competitive price, then do go. There is certainly no need to dress up.
