We moved to the area in the last year and had heard some great things about this place. My wife booked a Monday night table for my birthday (not many good places open on a Monday in the shire) - How lucky was I to have this as a treat, the cider wasn’t bad either! Flavours on dishes was so well thought out, we often eat at Michelin star rewarded places and this was on a par! Really recommend here, definitely be coming back very soon!

Our visit to The Cider Barn was for my husband's Birthday. I found this lovely little place by chance and I am so glad that I did you wouldn't know it was there unless you were looking for it. But once you get inside it is beautiful, lovely calming and warm interior, a charming converted barn. The toilets are well kept and clean. On arrival staff were very friendly and helpful with a good sense of humour immediately making us all feel welcome. I had the pheasant for my starter, which is to die for!! Perfectly cooked with lovely flavours and textures surrounding it, I could have eaten that as a main! Our mains that came out were well presented, perfectly cooked and tasted divine. For desert I had the cheesecake with BlackBerry sorbet. It was nice, it wasn't amazing but it was lovely, the best part was the very refreshing sorbet. Once we had finished our meals we were not rushed to pay and leave, it was all a very relaxed and comfortable evening with pleasant staff. I would definitely recommend! I hope to return again soon.

I don’t often leave a review but we had such a fantastic meal for my husband’s birthday that I thought I really should. A Wednesday evening in January meant that many places were closed but we were so lucky that the Cider Barn was open. The food was superb and focussed on local & seasonal produce including game. The vegetables were exceptional & plentiful too. The atmosphere provided by an ancient barn, a roaring fire and lots of fairy lights was delightful and the service was excellent. A very memorable evening.

Amazing! Highly recommend. I had the partridge to start, venison for a main and chocolate and juniper dessert. All dishes were full of a mix of flavours that really complemented each other. It is in an old barn that's full of warmth and a cosy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and service was surprisingly quick considering everything was fresh. Definitely needing a return visit.

We visited on Easter Sunday for a birthday lunch and were completely blown away by every little detail. From the moment we arrived, the service, food, organisation, and decor was just perfect and we couldn't have hoped to stumble upon anywhere better. It's even dog friendly which was just wonderful. With every new course, the flavours and quality of food just completely blew us away. The best meal that we have both ever had and we have even discussed journeying back to Herefordshire (2 hours each way for us) just for a Sunday lunch at the cider barn. Book. Eat it all. You won't regret it!

Possibly the nicest meal I've eaten in Hereford. Quality ingredients, deliciously put together and friendly staff. 100%recommended. Returned for a Sunday lunch, which didn't disappoint. Welcome cider or apple juice & 3 amazing courses for 32. Simply delicious.

What a beautiful restaurant set in a beautiful location, and serving beautiful food. We went here on a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday, and it was an amazing experience made special by the quality of the food and the attentiveness of the staff. If you're looking to go out for a meal, then definitely go a try, you won't be disappointed.

Beautifully plated, quality taste and a nice portion size followed by lovely service and a homely cozy restaurant interior. Unfortunately I only got a photo of the dessert as the rest of the food was eaten too quick
