Contemporary British
Carriages restaurant is uniquely located within the head office of allpay ltd at their impressive campus in Whitestone Business Park, Hereford.

Tony Killeen, Owner and Founder, wanted to bring his love of fine dining and wine to the county, so teamed up with renowned chef Kenny Styles, to bring his vision for Carriages to life.

The name ‘Carriages’ was inspired by Tony's passion for trains and the quirky setting of the restaurant, which overlooks the old Whitestone railway station.

You can enjoy views of the rolling hills from the floor to ceiling windows in the top floor restaurant; dine inside or alfresco, on the spacious balcony, or walk the beautifully landscaped grounds surrounding the Four Seasons lake - which transforms into a maze of secret gardens, impressively lit up at night.

A unique experience, exquisite food, wine and impressive surroundings, it's too good not to share!

Carriages is open every Friday evening

    Our party of six was expected and well looked after. The food was delicious and the lamb that some of us had was beautifully tender. The provision of transport home afterwards also worked well. We look forward to arranging our next visit.

    The experience, in the unique location of a very well appointed unit within a business park, was very pleasing. We went with very high expectations and these were almost met. We could be ultra critical with regard to the food and ambiance but this would do a disservice to what was an very enjoyable evening. The courtesy taxi home was a very nice touch - given the local taxi service - and was very professional and prompt. The menu offered me such choice that I would be able to return tomorrow and happily choose completely different dishes for all three courses.

    I found the Corporate ambiance rather disappointing. Having worked for a Corporate organisation I felt rather on edge on entering the premises. My husband’s starter of Caprese salad was excellent he said but there was hardly anything to eat. I, on the other hand, had a chocolate dessert which was wonderful and there was lots of it. We both had the fillet steak for our main course. We both asked for it to be cooked to medium but both were undercooked to our taste. Overall we didn’t believe this was a truly fine dining experience.

    Carriages RestaurantResponded on December 12, 2022Hi Jane, Thank you for taking the time to review our restaurant, please accept my apologies for not responding to your review sooner. I am sorry to hear the ambiance was disappointing, we understand its an a alternative venue for an evening out. I am pleased to hear you enjoyed your chocolate dessert, and have sent your feedback onto our chef in regards to the starter and steak. Kind regards, Alice

    This is a lovely restaurant set in beautiful surroundings. The staff are excellent and service impeccable. From the minute the concierge phones through your arrival to being greeted from the lift by the front of house staff the attention and service is first rate. A good menu with locally sourced ingredients and comprehensive wine list ensure a wonderful dining experience. Would highly recommend

    From the moment we arrived it was an amazing experience. We were welcomed by the carpark attendant and directed to the carpark and then at the door we were met by a member of the restaurant team and guided to our table where our waitress Heidi introduced herself. She was so professional and looked after us from start to finish , nothing was too much trouble a great asset . The atmosphere was casual and relaxed , lovely decor and comfortable seats with a table with linen cloth and serviettes a lovely touch. The food was delicious and plenty of choice. The beef was melt in the mouth the best we had tasted in years and the cod mmmm. A lovely post birthday treat . Thank you for the Prosecco and Birthday plate , a lovely touch . Will definitely dine here again.

    Carriages RestaurantResponded on September 6, 2022Hello Heather, We are so pleased to hear you had an enjoyable evening with us at Carriages and enjoyed your post birthday treat. I will pass your lovely comments onto Heidi and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Kind regards, Alice

    I am a returning customer to Carriages so I had an expectation of a lovely evening. I wasn't disappointed. Everything from the food to the service, to the classy music playing just at the right volume was wonderful. I went with my family - grown up kids and husband who all have varying levels of what they might be willing to try, food-wise. The menu isn't large because I know everything is freshly prepared in the kitchens, but there were choices for all of my party. The quality of the food is one of the things that makes the restaurant so special, but the choice of wines and a cocktail menu that again caters for all tastes also gives it a big tick. It was my daughter's birthday and the restaurant manager had devised her a cocktail named after her and a birthday plate arrived after dinner with sweet treats and a chocolate birthday message - amazing! I will keep coming back to this place - fast becoming my restaurant of choice in Hereford for sure...

    Carriages RestaurantResponded on June 9, 2022Hi Mary, Thankyou so much for a wonderful review. We are so pleased to hear you had a memorable experience for your daughters birthday and look forward to seeing you again soon. Kind regards, Alice
