We were incredibly pleased with how lovely the place is. Great outdoor dining area, and incredibly cosy inside. The staff were incredibly courteous, and the food was just unbelievably good. I'll admit, when I first ordered, I did think that they were a little expensive. However, it turns out that was because I was expecting the food to be of a lower standard. What they brought out to us was worth every penny. This is a fantastic little place, a hidden gem. Worth driving over an hour to go to, seriously.

Visited this pub today with my mom, sister, partner and 8 year old little boy. We ordered some…read moredrinks and food including a 'crispy chicken burger' and were told food would be a 30 minute wait. The pub wasn't that busy but we shared that this was fine. The cups of tea were then brought out to us and were already cold. Then the 'food' (I use lightly) arrived 50 minutes later with no apology. It was cold and was very poor quality. A cheese sandwich was accidentally brought out instead of the crispy chicken burger and we told the young male waiter that this wasn't right to which he apologised and said he would correct this. He then disappeared and reappeared no more than 2 minutes later with the 'crispy chicken burger' which was a burger bun containing 3 pieces of ROASTED COLD chicken (that was used on the chicken club that we also had) , not crispy chicken fillets with relish and salad at it has described on the menu. I wouldn't call this a burger it was merely a bread bun with cold roast chicken in. When I told staff about this another customer overheard me and commented that they had just tried to do this to them too. Other meals consisted of cold, mushed baked beans practically slapped on a plate and a children's beef burger which was (at a push) lightly warm when it arrived. We do not usually complain however felt this was a step too far so we spoke to the guy behind the till with his hair tied back (who was lovely and the most helpful person there). He said he would need to go and get his manager but appeared apologetic. This then all went downhill when the manager (an older lady) came out and basically called us liars from the get go. She was rude, did not apologise for the poor service once and didn't appear concerned that our food had come out cold and wrong. She barely even gave us eye contact and spoke to us through the guy behind the till. I felt sorry and embarrassed for the young guys that work here. We told the manager that the cups of tea were cold when they were brought out to us and she walked past us, to the table where we were sat and went to 'check' the tea (which had now been sat there for around an hour). She brought the STILL FULL cup of tea back over to us at the bar and asked us what was wrong with it whilst looking at it. I again reiterated it was cold when it came out and she said there was no way this could have happened. She wouldn't accept that this had happened and was extremely rude to both me and my partner. She then slammed 75p down on the counter (I guess as some sort of refund for the £4 we spent on tea) and walked off. Customer service here was absolutely awful and some locals even commented that she had recently taken over and didn't think she would last long with her attitude towards the customers, which is a shame as it's a lovely little pub. Would never go here again. It is one thing to have terrible food but that customer service is unforgivable

EXCELLENT PUB IN ROSS-ON-WYE…read more While strolling around the delightful town of Ross-on-Wye on a Saturday it was time for a bite. This place right on the market square looked promising, so we breezed in. It's a long and narrow(ish) pub (http://photobucket.com) that extends back quite a way: in other words, a drinking establishment that does not lack depth. I can imagine that it does a roaring trade in the evenings. I had a delicious pint of Wye Valley bitter and also ordered a cheese & tomato sandwich. (http://photobucket.com) This turned out to be very thickly endowed with a remarkably generous and toothsome portion of Cheddar cheese (see photo). Upon leaving, we asked the guy who had served us about the cheese, but he professed his ignorance in the matter and hastened off to enlist the support of his colleague in the kitchen (who also didn't know). However, he said: "I don't know the exact type, but we have it delivered on Thursday and I can order some for you if you want." Little things like that impress me. Such a shame that we were not going to be there on the following Thursday (or for that manner on the same evening).

The pub is a bit old fashioned but the menu is extensive and there is a separate restaurant as well as the main bar. In addition to the main blackboard, there is a specials board, curry board and a vegetarian board. We ordered home roasted ham, egg and chips and the omelette Arnold Bennett. Service was efficient and the food was fast, freshly prepared and piping hot. Everything was delicious and we washed it down with a glass of cider each. After lunch we had a pot of tea and our bill came to about £34. Our fellow lunch crowd were all on the senior side but apparently the evening crowd is much younger!

You can eat in either room or in the beer garden. The menu is wide and varied but fairly basic. The prices are excellent. There is a nice sized beer garden with a play area for children. Booking is recommended as it does get busy, especially for Sunday lunch. I can only see this getting worse as people may well go to the pub/restaurant in the hope of meeting up with Richard Hammond (Top Gear) who has recently moved in to the area!
