Nags Head in Herefordshire, County of

11 of us (pre-booked) arrived on the evening of Friday, 6th March for diner. What a warm welcome from Karen it was. Drinks orders quickly taken and fulfilled. Food arrived shortly afterward. Good, tasty, wholesome pub grub. Discovered that Karen and I both were from the Rugby area at one stage, so had a little chat about how it had changed. If I'm ever in the area again, I shall be back to sample the hospitality again. John T.

What a lovely friendly local pub! The owner gave us a lift home when we couldn't get a taxi, we had a delicious meal in front of a roaring fire, and ended with an unbelievably tasty crumble and custard. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

A love warm welcoming awaits you when you go here. The beer is a good pint. We will be back. plenty of parking

This is a very unassuming pub, with just good beer, excellent food and service. You will not find a better pub within miles. I would not hesitate to recommend this establishment.

Well met up with family for four days camping and a birthday so 6 adults . The service was excellent the food spot on went out there way to make it a great evening so we went 3 days out of 4 and every time was made welcome will definitely be going back many thanks

Great local pub, book for food. Beer great and locals very welcoming, chips voted by all of us as best we can remember. We did not book ahead but they still fried for us

Caravanning nearby and went to the Nags Head in Peterchurch. Although it looks like a Farmer’s pub, the welcome is warm and the food very good. Totally flexible to how you want your meal prepared as it is all freshly prepared, so can cater for most allergies. Karen and Rob are friendly and happy to chat as required. We liked so much we went back again for Dinner and then on Sunday for lunch. A great experience and good value for money.

Because I live in the village, I forget how good this is Had a lamb roast dinner with all the trimmings - 5 veg plus roasties + cauliflower cheese & Yorkshire's Followed by Tiramisu - yummy. Service great & Karen & Rob very friendly . You'll need to book - us locals fill it up!!!

A REAL Pub. Excellent home cooked food. Friendly landlord and landlady. Clean and welcoming. Just what the Doctor ordered

We booked in here for an evening meal during our overnight stay in the village of Peterchurch. The proprietors were super friendly and welcomed us warmly. We were given the option of sitting in the quieter dining area which suited us fine so we could relax after a long days walk. My friend is a vegetarian and the options were a bit limited - we were advised that it is best to phone ahead to ensure there were more options to choose from which I guess is worth knowing if you are a veggie. Even so the service and food we had was great and just what we needed - and was very reasonably priced. We would definitely eat here again.

Due to circumstances it has been a while since we could visit our favourite pub but as usual we had a great welcome from Rob and Karen for whom nothing is too much trouble . Amazing home made food ,including lovely fish and chips and, shepherds pie and an incredible list of puddings .Do try Karen`s prize winning chutney . Just wish we lived nearer .

This is our local pub and we are unbelievably lucky to live a stone's throw from it . It is everything you want from a pub , friendly , excellent food , loved by locals and visitors alike. Plus....tortoises welcome !!

Company and food is one in a million. The welcome to the Nags Head and food is out of this world and needs a 10 star recommendation.

We found this lovely local pub on a walk whilst visiting the area. There was a table outside the front under a pagoda which was perfect for lunch with our dog. The food was amazing and large portions, proper pub food! The staff were friendly and very easy to chat to, which added a touch of personality to our visit! Excellent customer service and and great food, we would highly recommend!

We walked here for lunch with our dog, the pub is advertised as not dog friendly but we ate in the beer garden and the owner joined us for a chat and spent 5 minutes feeding treats to our dog. Food was all home cooked and amazing. Will definitely return.

Went here for an early lunch the day the Lionesses were playing in the quarter finals., Happily they had a nice big screen and a spare table :) Very friendly pub, good unfussy food, and when we asked if we could call a cab to take us up the long hill back to our cottage, they said there were no local cabs but the landlady would drive us! how kind is that.

Stopped off after a walk for a lovely lunch of jacket potatoes served with choice of topping plus salads and award winning chutney. We were tired from our walk and couldnt face the hill back so asked for a taxi recommendation and the landlady was kind enough to give us a lift herself. Such a lovely spot run by lovely people. Thank you! Anita and Vicky

Lovely friendly pub, we sat outside with our border collie and the lady even brought a chew out for the dog. We were on a day hike otherwise would definitely stayed longer and had lunch there

Fantastic Sunday lunch, one of the best we’ve had. Lovely staff, great service. A lovely afternoon. Post lunch nap recommended!

Nice friendly landlady Karen. Food always good, plentiful & hot. Fish & chips always a favourite. Highly recommended.

Came here on a quiet Sunday after a walk in the nearby castle for a quick drink. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff!

The Nag's Head is a good old fashioned small pub in lovely country with regulars propping up the bar and putting the world to rights and the landlady running a nice list of pub classics; the cottage pie is a winner. A pleasure to be...

Me and my wife on a cottage holiday for a week cannot stop for a meal as we have 5 dogs, however we both deserve a break from cooking. What can I say I ring the nags head about 11.30 everyday and collect what can...

Popped in on a weekday evening. If you’re coming after, say, 8ish, it might be worth ringing to see if food is still being served. What we had was very tasty, excellent value and the chips were magnificent! The landlady and landlord are very friendly.

We had a lovely meal at this friendly, country pub. The couple who ran it (and their cat, Ruby!) were so friendly and helpful. We sat by an open fire in the warmth, while it was a bit wild and windy outside. The food was...

Walked 3miles to the Nags Head (twice), well worth it. Run by our kind of people, down to earth, friendly & hospitable. Good food too. Mick & Kim

A real pair of characters running the place - the female not cared to call a spade a bloody shovel. Good service, though. Food is amazing, with portion sizes enough to end the 5,000. I had the “pie”, which dames as a massive, deep plate...

Average pub grub style food and overpriced. Beer well kept. Covid rules not being enforced. We're not likely to return...

Stayed in Peterchurch for 3 nights and ended up eating here each day. Food was lovely (as was the beer) and friendly, welcoming host. Also, stopped off for a drink in the beer garden with the dogs. Fellow diners were all complimentary about the food.

A group of us stopped here for Sunday lunch during our holiday in the area. The staff here are so friendly and helpful. The roast dinners were amazing - proper homemade and very generous portions!

Welcoming host Karen, lovely person and all home made produce, hot and well cooked couldn’t fault it lovely food. Good selection of beers and wines, all well priced would I visit again? Absolutely

We booked for a meal with family who we hadn't seen for 18 months. We felt COVID secure, and the food was truly excellent - everything that we were served was top quality, freshly prepared and very tasty! Also generous sized portions which were good...

Visited immediately after covid restrictions lifted. Proper care was taken, and the food is decent! Decent drinks selection. The owner is also lovely and chatty, very welcoming - as are the regulars. Thoroughly recommended (especially the pie!)

My family and I passed a pleasant evening at the Nag's Head, enjoying generous helpings of cod and chips. Service was efficient and friendly - we will certainly return if we holiday nearby again.

We were staying locally and visited several times. The last time was to eat in the evening and we were not disappointed. The pub is owned by a farmer and his wife / partner. They work as a team and he makes time to visit...

Great food, great welcome and good prices. Although it says the pub is closed it is open and well worth a visit. We were those 'bloody brummies' and would highly recommend this pub.

Arrived at the Nags Head after a long walk and the owners could not have been more friendly. They even gave us a lift back to our car once we had eaten our lunch. The beer is great with a couple of cask ales, couple of lagers and a couple of ciders. The food is classic pub food but done well. We have a eaten here a few times now and not once has there been an issue.

Stopped off today whilst out on our bikes. Fabulous welcome, free biscuits with our tea/coffee and the owner even filled up my bike bottle with squash. It’s open so ignore that it says closed. Thank you

We visited this pub every day when we were staying in Dorstone as the owners were lovely and the pub was clean and covid safe. I would drive here just for the chips as they were a delight!!

Traditional pub; food freshly made; the owners were friendly and helpful and the Covid precautions thorough. The owner even gave us a lift!

We arrived at around 1830 and asked if food was available. We were told that we'd have to wait (fair enough, as we hadn't booked) so we sat in the garden, ordered our food, had a beer and a quick pub quiz.The landlord and landlady were super friendly and couldn't do enough for us : great service.

Had sunday lunch here in Feb. quite nice food, quaint little seating area away from the bar, host very chatty & friendly, will go again.

We visited the Nags Head on the 3rd January 2020 whilst caravanning nearby with my husband and two small children. Booking is definitely required although they serve food all day (I believe). The food was hot, tasty and served relatively quickly. The establishment had some locals drinking and the open fire added to the ambiance however I didn’t feel as ‘welcomed’ as some of the others posts suggest. We were asked how the food was other than that no other conversations were held with the owners. Nevertheless our experience was good.

We were recommended the steaks at this pub so we went they were so good I never usually eat all mine this one I did it was cooked to perfection everyone in the pub was friendly you felt welcome the landlord and landlady made you feel very welcome my friend had a ham and cheese ploughman's it looked lovely we also had banana splits I haven't had one for years it was lush would definitely visit again if I am in the vicinity

This is a lovely old traditional British country pub with a charming and cosy atmosphere frequented by local farmers, villagers and visitors alike. With an open fire and friendly owners (Karen & Rob) and efficient staff, eating and drinking in the Nags is always a great experience. The menu is always freshly cooked, generously portioned and tasty as well as reasonably priced. The fish and chips, steaks and salads are excellent. Desserts are scrummy too. Thank goodness we only have half a mile walk to get there! Our guests always have a lovely time there.

Friendly welcome, great atmosphere and excellent fish & chips. Perfect! Ate in the bar but there was a decent size restaurant too.

We visited the Nags Head just over a year ago on our last stay in Herefordshire and sought it out again having received a warm welcome then. Once again the proprietors were very friendly and welcoming and offered to prepare a large plate of mixed sandwiches and chips for our group to share, which were excellent and just what were needed after a morning walk in the lovely Golden Valley. We're looking forward to our next visit.

A proper locals country pub, very friendly Landlord, and excellent home-cooked pub fayre. the chips were superb.

Visited with my wife and kids .Great local , really friendly and welcoming. Good Food especially the steak and also the steak pie and also good ale what else do you need!

A friendly welcome and a lovely menu of home made food. Had Sunday lunch , didn’t have pudding as was full. Even remembered us from a previous yrs visit .

Meal was freshly cooked, nicely presented with a good selection of vegetables served with the Sunday roast.

Technically our local whilst we were on holiday - and yet made to feel most uncomfortable and not welcome. We arrived early on Saturday in pouring rain and only a couple locals at bar. We were initially advised fine to bring in our dog then landlady appeared who said definitely no dogs permitted! We left immediately very taken back as have been to many very upmarket pubs and always made so welcome. Actually she did us a huge favour as we discovered a much nicer pub further down road with excellent food, wonderful warm landlady who could not do enough for us and our pooch.

Went here with a client and was really surprised at how good the food is. The fish and chips were simply divine and the homemade tartare sauce delicious. The host and hostess were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble and the pub had a nice vibe to it, even on a Tuesday lunchtime.

We visited on the way home from Hay-on-Wye. We were looking for somewhere which was serving food and happened upon The Nags Head. We had salads which were delicious! The leaves were fresh and crisp, the meat was lovely and the homemade coleslaw, pickles onions and chutney were delicious. Karen is really friendly! We’ll remember this place for when we are out and about, in future.

Can't praise the place highly enough. It is not a gastropub and neither does it try to be. The owners specialise in friendliness, atmosphere and really well-cooked homemade dishes. The beer was really well kept, the food delicious, the friendliness of the locals and the owners top class.

A great, friendly, homely pub with always a warm welcome and service, and home made food at its best. We love our evenings there.

We booked a long weekend away at ‘The old Cocolate house on Slade Farm’ and passed this delight on the way. Our first evening we drove back there for dinner and was met with a sincere, friendly welcome from the locals and the staff.

A Lovely warm Welcome from Karen who made us feel straight at home. Our Sunday Dinner was Perfect and the best we've had for ages. Lovely candle gesture for our daughters Birthday. Service was second to none. Would highly recommend this Lovely Country Pub with traditional home cooked food.

Ask for “Mystic Karen”! Just touring around the area on New Year’s Day and stumbled upon this no-frills “proper pub”. Friendly locals, good grub and a good laugh - it’s hard to know what more you could want?

I had arrived with my 7 friends on a Sunday (2pm) without phoning ahead, and despite the fact that they were quite full we were fortunate that soon after arriving, a large table became available. The service was top notch, really friendly and accommodating, especially as one of our group was vegan and gluten intolerant, they did their best to put together something she could eat and made the rest of us a lovely Sunday roast. I enjoyed the casual nature of it all, The chef asked if we were okay with just picking what we wanted from dishes in the middle of the table, which really suited us and reduced the wasted food. Overall really friendly pub!

Last height of holiday and visited for fish n chips. (Pre booked) had a great welcome friendly pub .ths fish n chips we’re realky good and then had to try the desserts which were excellent. Sensibly priced as well. Well worth a visit

We had warm welcome from the landlady, very friendly, lovely atmosphere and the best fish and chips I've ever had.

Bar has communal tables alongside open fire. Evening can be spent chatting with local people with the option of having a lovely meal. Staff are very attentive. Good homemade food and local beers. Fish and chips Tuesday and Friday is a must to try.

All I can say is what lovely people. Not only the owners Rob and Karen but the locals too. Made us feel at home straight away with great drink fantastic homemade food and brilliant conversation. Mutually interested in our very different lifestyles. I’ve learnt more in one evening about beef and potato farming and rural life in general than years watching countyfile!! Thanks from Matt and Melissa Maldon Essex

we stopped here on a rainy road trip, we were made very welcome, even by Ruby the resident ginger cat! we opted for the lunchtime special of cod and chips, super delicious! the on tap guest beer was well received. The pub has retained its old-world charm and is spotless. We will definitely be back, and would recommend it to other travellers

Really enjoyed stopping off here after a long walk. Nice owners, great traditional pub food and beer, boules and petanque, too!

Our 2nd visit this week and we’ve just finished a lovely and sizeable Sunday roast, the lamb was beautifully cooked. Great food in a lovely village pub with a friendly welcome. The chips deserve a special mention too!

We were visiting the area and decided to stop for Lunch. Despite not being allowed dogs in the bar they were more than happy to let us and the beagle eat in the beer garden. They were very very helpful, offering us water for the pooch and a range of options to cater for our token vegetarian! Food was excellent, plentiful and very reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Seriously stop here and feel the welcome, well worth it.

We were a party of nine staying nearby in June. A few of us visited the pub for lunch. We found a real welcome from staff and locals, delicious food, and a range of local beers.

Needed lunch on a Sunday, checked the Internet. This place rated 5 stars. Didn't book. Just called in. Was seated within 5mins. Ordered Sunday lunch. Turkey cooked dinner was faultless. Drinks( pint of cider & what was supposed to be a small white wine & lemonade} totalled £7.70. Small white wine!! Was actually quite generous & put my partner to sleep. Will return ASAP.

We were very warmly welcomed by the delightful hosts when we called in for lunch part way through our walk, and stayed to watch the royal wedding in the bar with the friendly locals. Best tuna mayo sandwiches I’ve ever tasted.

The pub is extremely well decorated and traditional! Lovely staff and a charming barman! Karen, the chef, cooks up a storm in the kitchen!

Discovered this gem while staying in the area for 60th birthday celebration. Hosts accommodated our party of adults and children and made us feel like old friends. Food is “no frills” but I challenge any upmarket restaurant to beat their steaks and fresh fish...delicious and presented just as you like it. Thanks for completing my birthday week with your hospitality and fab food. Eat here, people, it’s great,

The pub is very welcoming and the fish and chips on a Friday night are the best in the area. Highly recommended.
