The Grapes in Herefordshire, County of

Only had a drink so can't say how good the food is, friendly service but seriously need to get rid of all the plastic flowers and put the hoover away please. Behind the bar a little messy and a few small DIY jobs could really improve the overall atmosphere.

Waitress was very polite and nice. The food on the other hand was awful. We thougt we were ordering chrispy baguettes but they were soft and felt like they were heated in the microwave.

Just been in for Sunday lunch, no one else in there, wish we had not bothered either, Sunday roast portion size was good but there was not a lot of flavour and it was luke warm. Very friendly staff and beer was good.

Small pub lovely atmosphere traditionally kept but short on 🍺...plenty lager and cider

Lovely pub with a really nice staff memeber behind the bar. Good choice of beers and drinks

Beautiful food lovely staff if you love home made food and a lovely atmosphere this is the place to visit!

Saw Kinstrife in there. It was an awesome night

The bar maid was very unpleasant and unprofessional. Certainly won't be going back or recommending this pub.

I haven't been in years but was wanting to go for a meal and saw they were open and doing food so thought to try ut and honestly the best chips I have ever had so tasty! It was a little bit pricey but was good quality shall definitely be returning

The Grapes may be good for many things but food is not one of them.

Nice beer but very noisy party made it hard to talk, and heating was off on the coldest day of the year! ❄️❄️❄️

Stopped for a beer. Very quiet

Lovely little pub brilliant band 3 youngsters stayed longer than expected as band were so good would recommend a visit

Very nice food me and my wife both had all day breakfast. The staff were very friendly.

Visiting Hereford with friends we found The Grapes late morning and checked that they were happy we came in for coffees as it was nearly lunchtime. Our experience was not very good and I have sent the review privateley to The Grapes.

Walked in for a pint at 8.45pm on a Sunday evening to be told sorry we are closed now.

Another lovely meal here. We visited here for Sunday Lunch after a walk round Hereford. Lamb shank was delicious and my husband had steak which was beautifully cooked and he said very tender. It is a hidden gem , hidden up a side street but well worth a visit with the beautifully cooked meals at a reasonable price and friendly helpful staff . See you again soon

I'm struggling reading all the recent positive reviews and wonder if we were in a different pub! Midday, completely empty. Very limited menu shown to us. Chose sandwiches which stated they were freshly made with fresh bread. It couldn't possibly have been today's bread and I was left mystified as to how anyone could ruin a cheese sandwich! The side salad (predominantly pea shoots which should be crunchy & fresh) was limp & wilted. The side order of chips were the final straw. Soggy, dark brown and tasted of oil that had had far too many outings. Interestingly, we were not asked if everything was OK but maybe that was because we left so much. An expensive experience best avoided.

It was a great pub, then a restaurant and now a great pub again 😀

Definitely coming back here! Food is amazing. Staff were lovely. Best food I have ever tasted!

Amazing food and lots of vegetarian choices. All food is freshly made and it nice and hot. lovely staff too :)

A fine long situated ale House. Good beer

Brilliant pub, great for heavy metal and rockers

Vodka martini cocktails - 2 for a tenner - the food looked fantastic.

Good pub, good beer, great staff, terrible pool table 🙂

Staff were great. Food was better than expected. Not bad at all. Real ale, can't beat it.

Fantastic, historic pub, bang in the middle of Hereford

Good pub, friendly management good beer and events especially open mike night.

This place is a little hidden, but was worth seeking out. The staff were friendly and I enjoyed my roast very much. If you're tall, watch your head. The prices are reasonable.

I was very impressed with the Sunday roast. The staff cannot do enough for you. A hidden gem.

Friendly service. Great beer and excellent meals. Nice to sit watching the world go by or the racing on TV.

Friendly, cosy city ub with great range of drinks. Went on an open mic night, super performers!

Very open and welcoming manager and prompt food service. Accommodating my daughters vegetarian choices happily. Thank you - made our brief visit to Hereford relaxed with nice food

Lovely Sunday roast! Dog friendly pub with very friendly staff

Great live music from Afterimage this evening. Loved it!

Burgers were home cooked but tough, chips were wedges in a bucket but not stated on menu, large slices of onion in coleslaw, very poor, wouldn't go back.

Made to feel Welcome with dog's. Food very good

Friendly staff, excellent food and service. Dog friendly in the bar area. Would recommend a visit.

Great place nice atmosphere. Good choice of drinks

Delicious food and very welcoming place. Open fire too. Cosy.

Empty. No names or contacts numbers taken which didn't bother me really. The overpriced drinks did though....no wonder it was empty. 1 drink and left

Fantastic food , well cooked and tasty. Well presented. Staff were fantastic. Really helpful and friendly. The pub had a good atmosphere. Great choice of drinks. Will definitely return when we are next in Hereford and would recommend.

Pub undergoing a change reinstating the original bar. Real ale was in a dreadful sour state. Won't be going back anytime soon. Better pint at the Lichfield Arms opposite.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Popped in for lunch with friends and they arranged tables for us and took order direct from table. Good food and drinks at reasonable price😀

Great pint and the best steak I’ve had for ages. Friendly, clean; will come again very soon. Good to see the place with keen management and reopen

Food was adequate and well cooked, but wouldn't go again

cheap beer, friendly staff and reasonably priced food.

Popped in for a lunchtime drink. Friendly barman and a homely setting.

Really nice atmosphere, Friendly staff and management. Dog friendly in bar area . Food very good !! Will definitely be back !!!

Yet another lovely visit to the grapes in Hereford for their amazing Sunday carvery, for Stuart our lovely friends birthday, as usual 5 star service all the way from greetings to serving to customer service, would highly recommend and suggest you Book a table as they get very busy early on! We are still here now having lots of fun as you can see from our photo !!!!

Didn't get the chance to go on, not very cooperative.

I visited this long established Hereford City Centre Pub. It wasn’t a full menu as it was Bank Holiday but the Landlord who appeared to be running everything was extremely helpful and offered us Jacket Potatoes, Panini’s or a limited full menu. As we only wanted snacks I had a jacket with Beans and Salad and my husband had a Panini and Salad. It was nicely presented and all fresh. They also had a great choice of drinks including a Stout Ledbury Dark which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. If a snacks is your lunchtime request head to this well established Hereford Pub

Today is my friend Stu's (sight dog), Omar's 5th birthday! He's an amazing dog & so I decided to treat Stu to a Sunday Lunch @ the Grapes! At 12 on the dot we were greeted by a bubbly Emma who sat us @ our reserved table with lots of room for Omar. We ordered our drinks & they arrived very quickly. We both decided we wouldn't have the free soup starter( even though it looked & smelt lovely) because we didn't want to ruin our roast! With the roast you have a choice of two meats but Stu just fancied the turkey & I just fancied the beef! The food was piping hot, had all the trimmings & all the accompaniments, the cauliflower cheese was to die for! It was a wonderful meal & I will definitely bring friends here when they visit from London! Thanks to Ian, Pam, Adam & Emma for a fab meal & experience! We will be vac for meals & drinks!

Our host seemed to be running the pub on his own and did his best to look after us . Several items were not available from the menu , but he made some suggestions which helped both him & us. We ate steak pie with new potatoes & peas , followed by sticky toffee puddings . We were sat by the front window which looks onto the narrow street outside , so we had a constant stream of passers by to observe . Prices here are very good , the anbience of the front dining area was OK , and at the back of the Pub is a proper restaurant which was spacious , where some of our fellow walkers had their lunch . There was a large dog in the bar area where we were , but we thought it might have belonged to our host , so I would imagine dogs are welcome there ...

Service was friendly. Food was nicely presented and we didn't wait long for it. Only down point was sauce on mushroom risotto was to watery.

Stopped off here today for a full English breakfast and cup of coffee and was that impressed decided to write this short review as a recommendation. We only had a couple of small breakfasts and 2 x lattes but the quality of ingredients was excellent and the food cooked perfectly. All for just under £10 ! Decent tasty real mushrooms, fresh tomato, sausage, bacon,egg, beans, hash brown and toast. Nice location right in the heart of the City and very friendly staff. I believe this is pub is under new management and if the food and service continues to be as good I'm sure this will become very popular. We'll definitely go back for 2nd helpings.

We decided to have lunch somewhere different and noticed that this establishment was under new management, so popped in. Welcomed by friendly staff in this very old, historical building. We sat by the window people watching, as they either headed along the narrow street into the city centre, or towards the cathedral. Having scanned the menu, it was up to the bar to give our order and pay for it. We didn't have to wait too long before our meals were served at out table. Generous portions at a good price. Some points to pass on about my meal (which I did verbally at the time to members of the establishment, as I'm trying to help), was that the ham in my ham & cheese panini was too thick, so when I took a bite out of it, it followed on and I removed most of the ham, being left with a cheese panini. A bit of fatty strip of ham nearly made me "boke / boak" I'm afraid. The side plate of chips tasted as if they were micro-waved, but were not (I was politely told). Possibly look at changing the type of ham / chips used? The toilet was very clean and tidy, just lacked soap in the dispenser. The surroundings throughout this tavern were spacious, very clean and tidy, with a good ambience. A large Tv screen mounted on the wall (with the sound down) was a good attraction for me, observing Sky News. This, I'm sure, will be an excellent venue, especially with the open, attentive, friendly staff we encountered. Very good value for money compared to many nearby. Just a few points to try to rectify before shortly becoming very good / excellent in my (humble) opinion. Thank you The Grapes Tavern and all the very best for the future.

had a lovely meal, meat was cooked perfectly,have eaten hear for breakfast weekday lunch and now Sunday lunch will be back thank you Dave and Ian for a lovely experience and really good food

Lovely historic pub in the city centre of Hereford and near Hereford Cathedral. New owners who have made a few changes to the furniture and have a new menu. Excellent pub food at good prices. The small plates are enormous so be warned. Very friendly staff. Friendly locals. They do have sport on at times. Three seperate rooms to choose from and always clean and polished. Lovely old fireplace and a piano. I believe they have live music on certain nights. Oak panelling in main dining room spoilt a bit with modern tables and chairs. Previous owners had old antique tables and chairs. That is the only thing that is not in keeping with the room.

Great little pub in the city. Stopped by for a brew and lunch.

Spent many a good night's in here.

Really good prices of the food and taste is just Incredible!

had lunch with friends wonderful staff very friendly food was good thoroughly enjoyed our visit .New management were lovely will have no problem with eating here again or just popping in for a drink whilst shopping. thank you for a lovely experience

This 16th Century tavern is under new management, Dave & Ian have just signed a new 5 year Lease & are going to change things big time I did lunch @ the weekend with my nephew & his girlfriend who were visiting for the weekend. Three lovely lunches & 3 hot drinks camrme to under £25 & the portions were generous, I couldn't finish my lovely taglialle carbonara though it was lively & loaded with bacon. These two lovley guys are organising a new menu, new cocktails

Very friendly staff. Steak had to be sent back as it wasn't cooked medium well, but the waitress sorted it out with no fuss. Will definitely go back next time we are in he area. Portion sizes were great, if you leave there hungry something is wrong

Enjoyed our second visit to this city centre hostelry for Sunday lunch. Served carvery style with a choice of 4 meats & several vegetable selections by the friendly staff. Good food at a reasonable price

Brilliant place Live music on 28 Sept just gone Good prices and nice people

Used to host a monthly Irish music session. New management aren't interested. Disappointing. Nice local beers

Can't recommend this place enough. We enjoyed it so much, we returned to Hereford to eat there a second time. Staff very friendly and welcoming, menu great, food delicious and competitively priced. Delicious vegetarian lasagne, best we have ever had. To top it all off, our dog Boris was very much welcomed. If we are ever back in Hereford, we will definitely be back. Thank you.

Decent food and portions are a reasonable size for a decent price

Amazing Atmosphere and Fantastic Staff

We searched for this pub as somewhere with good reviews & we were pleased we did. Good for us it did Sunday lunches 12-4 (as a lot of places finish at 2pm & it was after 2pm when we arrived in Hereford).

Fabulous food and great service. Totally love the Irish breakfast.

Had a beef baguette which was dry (practically no butter) and the beef was ridiculously tough. It also came with a 35 minute wait. Staff were friendly though. Plenty of other, nicer places around.

Great breakfast at the grapes today and nice to see that there is plenty of options with the food I noticed there's something for everyone....and the staff were willing to help ....i took my fried who's ill with parkingsons and he needed serten things ...like low fat milk...but I seem to be one of those fussy types I like my to at brown and it was done perfectly. .. ..anyway I was so impressed I thought I'd write a review now days friendly service seems so rare...and good value for money as well....well done grapes I'll call again soon... adamgrahampomelli@gmail.com

I had been to The Grapes before over a year ago while on business and when I arrived in Hereford this past week I literally threw bags in my hotel room and headed there for a pint. Was pleasantly surprised when the owner(landlady) Sonia Caldwell remembered me and made me feel at home. Was able to have a great meal of fish and chips and she added smashed turnips which were great. After an 8 hour plane trip and 3 hour drive it was a great place to relax and feel welcomed. Went back later in the week and Sonia's husband Gary Caldwell welcomed me back and invited me to bring my wife and daughter the next time I am in town.

Good food with good prices, but the atmosphere makes you kind of feel that your not suppose to be in there, more like regulars only.

Loved the food loved bantar ..nice and cosy.. I was ok with it but f this fu.k that . off one Customer drinking bar could be off putting for some at poeple

Totally awesome food and the landlady was sooooo friendly. My boys loved it and we will definitely be returning. They were really well catered for. It is a must for anyone when you visit Hereford.

Looking for a place for kids to eat My Niece and I came across the Grapes. The landlady was welcoming and as nice as can be! The food was very cheap but nothing wrong with it at all; excellent value! She treated the children like her own and provided free milk for the little one; she should get an award for running the friendliest pub in the town! A+++ Thank you

I have just eaten the best homemade burger today, topped with bacon, cheese, egg and hash brown.

Nice pub, friendly staff. Came for lunch one Saturday with my husband and 2 children. Food was cooked quicky, was tasty and good value.

Had the Sunday carvery today with family it was cooked to perfection and are waitress Emma was amazing came and checked if everything was OK during are meal which was lovely and came to checked if we required any more drinks. Glad we booked a table it will definitely be one place we are going back to again can't wait to try the food in the week know.

An average Saturday night, not a problem before or after in any pubs, but a young bouncer seemed to think I was too drunk to finish my pint, as I stumbled a little out of the toilets. I was not offensive or having a go at anyone, people stumble when sober....last time I ever go in here. And it looked like they needed the custom. Our group made up a third of the customers! Pub just up the street much more friendly.

I had gammon which was cooked to perfection, by far the most sweet and succulent gammom I have ever had. I've been coming here for a while now and every time I leave delighted with the food, drink, and service. 5 stars!!!

Fantastic staff, Rob offered great service and there was a great atmosphere, loved the staff and how friendly everyone was

Popped in for lunch (group of four friends). We chose to sit in the front of the premises as we didn't expect to be there for long and it suited us. First impression from the friendly staff was great. Made to feel very welcome which...

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday carvery, good choice of meats & vegetables. Ideally situated right in the centre of Hereford. Nice & clean, with friendly staff

Unfortunately, this meal with friends did not encourage a re-booking. Our table was in the bar area, a rather cold, draughty spot. The main courses served ranged from good (battered fish) through overcooked to cold. The peas being both overcooked and cold. We fared no...

We went as a group and ended up on a table with the pool table and juke box just behind us. I ordered the salmon which was luke warm and very dry and the lettuce was going brown and wilted. Other members of the group were unhappy with the quality of their main courses as they were either undercooked or overcooked. When the deserts arrived the apple pie I received was on a flat china plate which meant that the custard went everywhere. The apple pie was stone cold and had obviously not been defrosted properly. Others in our group also had the same with their puddings.

Very good special breakfast for 2.75...polite staff and great chef ...I don't drink beer but the people in the bar seemed happy enough. ...I will be going again...

Well I visited this pub because I'd heard on local radio that it had recently been refurbished to look like a 1920's pub from the tv series Peaky Blinders called "The Garrison", I was mightily disappointed after looking forward to my visit there, Apart from the 1920's flat screen tv showing sport of some kind the beer (A Peaky Blinders brew by Sadlers) Had turned to Vinegar and was more cloudy than a snow globe, In the Bar next door Football fans screamed at their tv every five minutes killing what little 1920's atmosphere there may have been lurking under a beer mat somewhere, My advice if you are a Peaky Blinders fan Avoid this place so the disappointment won't be as bad as the beer and decor was, I've given it a generous 2 stars as my beer was exchanged for a non cloudy beer.

The Grapes had a facelift recently and as a result looks lovely andthe staff serving do a good job,that however is as good as it gets.

Paid nearly £6.00 for Sweet Chilli Prawns with cheap Tesco value sauce. Definitely not a place to take children, even though it has a child's menu, blokes swearing like navies. AVOID A ALL COSTS

Really enjoyed the bid scrap man burger. Good value, meals enjoyed by all the family. Great improvement. Happy to go again. Friendly staff too.

Loving the new look, Sonia and Gary have done a fantastic job. There's loads more seating and the music is great.

Stayed for a weekend in Hereford and found this fab bar by accident. Great location in the center of town, with a wide selection of drinks.

Pleasant place great Irish atmosphere

Really good selection of beers, fairly good atmosphere

Have visited this pub twice in the last 4weeks on both occassions the food was appalling. I gave it a second chance believing the 1st occassion was just a bad day, but it wasn't. 4 items on the menu were unavailable!! When we asked for mayo they bought an empty bottle 3 times and couldnt believe the same thing happened with tomato sauce. Poor service, no atmosphere will not go back.
