Authentic and atmospheric award winning inn, this 16th century black and white building is surrounded by the natural beauty of the River Lugg.
Set deep in the countryside of Herefordshire, yet still close to Ludlow and Hereford, The Riverside Inn bar and restaurant, has unspoiled and unchanged surrounds , with log fires, candles, hops and pine. Hopefully you will find the atmosphere soothing, relaxing and informal.
We aim to surprise and please you with our food, offering classic flavours in a country style with original touches that make quite a difference. We source from Herefordshire and Shropshire farms, producing and cooking everything ourselves, except for the deliberately short list of interesting cheeses, which are bought locally. Andrew and his team pride themselves creating traditional Marches flavours from developing a real “field to plate” culture, through the use of our extensive gardens and orchards.
We stayed in one of the garden rooms with our 2 dogs. Great walking straight from the door up to Mere Woods. The room was clean and well equipped with a mini fridge, selection of teas/coffee and some delicious homemade biscuits, the underfloor heating made it feel cosy even with the wintery January weather. The bar area has a lovely warm atmosphere with a large log burner and comfy leather sofas, we played chess and enjoyed some local beer and cider. We had a stunning meal in the evening, I particularly appreciate their efforts to be sustainable with locally sourced ingredients from the kitchen garden/smallholding. I will be recommending to our family and friends and hope we can stay again soon.
Wow! You must go here. We live in Hereford and drive past all the time but have never actually been in. We thought we would give it a try and we find all aspects to be superb. We arrived quite early so thought we would go for a walk nearby. We bumped into someone who works at the pub and he showed us a great little path up behind the pub. The views were fab. The water in the river is so clear! The accomodation looked lovely. When we went into the pub, we received a very warm welcome. The decor is amazing, very well thought out. The pub has a really great ambience and the building itself is incredible. We sat by a beautiful wood burner while drinks were brought and we perused the menu. The service was exceptional. Staff were attentive without being in your face, knowledgeable about the menu and produce, and I was surprised by how quickly the food arrived. The starter, cheese dumpling, (which my husband ordered but I tried!!) was simply amazing. The bread, baked in house, was delicious and the butter was gorgeous. I'm not sure I can do the starter justice as there were so many complex flavours. It was an exceptionally well thought out dish. Husband had a steak sandwich and I had cod. Both exquisite. I actually gasped when I tried the sauce! Thank you to the chef - your expertise is appreciated !! The cod just flaked away at the touch of my fork and the sauce had such a wide range of flavours. The vegetables that accompanied it were amazing. The potatoes were sinfully delicious - I tried not to think about the calories!! We both thought it was very good value for money and actually would have paid more. Well done to all that staff - the service was truly exceptional. We will definitely be back. Can't wait to visit in the warm summer months. We feel very lucky to have this on our doorstep.
One of the very best eating places in North Herefordshire. Clever mixtures of flavours and textures. Lovely warm atmosphere and great service. Deservedly popular and never disappoints.
Came to the riverside for a meal for my wifes birthday. Was lovely! The food was spot on, I had the duo of beef and it was perfect,my wife had the chicken,and it looked splendid (i never got to try any of it so it must've been very good!!) The venue is really nice and full of character and the staff are beyond helpful and friendly. I'd highly recommend this place!
We ate there as a group of eight on a Friday evening. Very nicely laid out place with a great interior and tasteful decor. Waiting staff were all really nice and attentive and knew the menu inside out. Myself and my partner were really happy to see they had a vegetarian/vegan option for main and starter and also three other plant based options on request. They happily veganised some side vegatable options we ordered for the group table and nothing was made to feel like an extra chore. Everyone else was happy with their meat dishes so thumbs up all round. Portions were very generous and all the food was local fresh and very delicious. Top marks and many thanks. Would definitely recommend and return again if in the area in the future.
