Restaurants in Leominster

Excellent venue, excellent service, excellent food. Every time we visit the Cider Barn we have our spirits lifted and happiness in our hearts...and stomachs.

Had a Sunday lunch here last year that was the best I’ve ever had. Came back to sample the normal menu and whilst the food was good the selection was limited and maybe a bit too quirky for us. We had the bread and fried chick pea fritter as nibbles as aiming for puds. Both were excellent and generous portions. For mains we had skirt of beef (tasty if a bit tough), bubble and squeak with parsnips and candied walnuts (fine but too much b&s and lacked seasoning), sausage en crout (big sausage roll - on the burnt edge of brown) and black cod ( which was the star but came with chicken - both were nice but didn’t go). Maybe just trying a little too hard to become Michelin? Doughnuts with mouse were light but too many of them. Brownie with sweet potato and Rumkoft was just too big and rich. Three of us tried to help out but all defeated. Affogato was fine. Was a family meet up so didn’t complain but think there needs to be a bit of a rethink to have a few less fussy dishes on as not all parties would have found something to their taste? Expensive too at £30 for skirt beef which should have bought a fillet steak elsewhere. Atmosphere was nice but it may be a while before we are back but would give it another go if we saw changes in the menu.
