We're regular visitors to the Cider Barn and the food just keeps getting better. The four of us booked in for Sunday lunch and all came away agreeing it was one of the best lunches we'd had. It's a pity they've ceased the complimentary cider on arrival, but when the food is this good...

We went to The Cider Barn as a group of 7 celebrating a special birthday. The barn was beautiful and cozy with a warm friendly atmosphere. We were all very impressed with the food it was delicious. The staff were very friendly and professional and went out of their way to make the ‘birthday girl’ feel special. Highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again.

Consistently excellent food and service, in a fantastic setting. Highly recommend

Enjoyed an excellent dinner at the Cider Barn on 8th May. The atmosphere was very warm and relaxed matched by the service struck the perfect balance of attentive and helpful without being in any way intrusive. The food was excellent, with the doughnut dessert getting a special mention.

We had the most amazing Sunday lunch The starters were so different and tasty, not something we have had anywhere else. The same for the vegetables that came with our different roasts. It was all incredibly good.

Excellent food, the atmosphere was very warm and cosy. The staff are attentive but not always around you. I would highly recommend this lovely restaurant.

Wonderful third meal at the Barn. The service is always excellent- one of our party has an orange allergy and the serving staff ensuresd that they had their own vegetables. The food was excellent with a huge variety of beautiful vegetables. We left room for the sticky toffee pudding, and were glad we did! A lovely Sunday lunch experience that represents excellent value for money in a stunning location. We will be back again!

A gem of a place. Gorgeous setting. Beautifully presented & delicious dinner. Many thanks

A fabulous evening celebrating a birthday! Gorgeous setting, we were fortunate enough to sit outside in the evening sunshine, overlooking Herefordshire countryside. With super friendly staff all of whom greeted us with a smile. The food was absolutely delicious, with such vibrant colours and flavours in every dish. Attention to detail and thoughtfulness were evident. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy a really special evening. 5 stars!

Really enjoyed our meal, it is a fantastic experience! The meals and flavours are out of this world! The combinations are something we have never tried before! The staff are so helpful and friendly, the location is fantastic and the restaurant is beautiful with peaceful surroundings. This is our favourite restaurant and I would highly recommend. We have never been disappointed and always enjoy the food and experience. It is the best restaurant I have ever been too.

Excellent food, service, drinks and atmosphere. Thank you for a lovely evening. Clare

Food was beautifully presented. Portions were adequate for our table, as we were all over sixty, though had I been younger I would have felt short changed, I remember visiting a restaurant in the 1980 s after a days farming during the nouvelle cuisine fad and having to stop by the local chip shop on the way home, such things live long in the memory. Relatively cheap items like bread rolls with starters can help with this, though I guess they carry the risk that you may sell fewer desserts. My First course, the dried meat was fine, though I was a little taken aback by the somewhat confusing array of flavours which to my old fashioned pallet seemed to lack harmony, this discomfort was even greater with my main course, the sausage meat en croute so loud was the collision between the star anise the fruit jam that the flavour of the sausage meat was lost completely, the pastry could have been filled with porridge for all the impact it had on the dish. Loved the doughnuts.

We had a Sunday dinner. Perfection. Would highly recommend, fantastic food, location and atmosphere. Look forward to going again.

Always a pleasure to visit and explore the clever use of different ingredients, flavours and textures from a well balanced menu. Only once have we experienced a poor balance of flavours, - a rather over rich and sweet sauce which hid other flavours. Some good wine choices at reasonable prices. Restaurant staff knowledgeable, charming and efficient. Ambience good.

Disappointed with the food compared to previous visits - very limited menu and small portions. Also no separate gluten free menu as on previous visits!

The barn was warm and attractive to dine in. Staff was welcoming and friendly, and service was prompt and efficient. The food was delicious.

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.
