   All three courses for both of us were excellent - not a dud in sight. Wine list looked comprehensive ( we only had a glass each). Not many soft furnishings so when full it could be a bit noisier than we experienced Car parking could be tight ( because they are busy - a good sign) we we’d suggest arriving sooner than later to avoid having to walk from the church car park Was everything previous reviews suggested

   We first had a drink by the lovely fire .I did enjoy the Hereford fizz with local blackcurrant . From starter to main course we had super food and service. The bread to start served with creamy butter was great too. Been before and have been disappointed. Will visit again in summer !

    We had an incredible evening and a gorgeous dinner. The restaurant is so welcoming and warm [the people and the Inn], we loved it. Everything was delicious and impressively presented. Our guests were split between starter and dessert lovers...we all left happy. The staff were warm and attentive. My new favourite place! The chocolate delice, I rest my case for dessert....

    A delicious Sunday lunch, but marred by the roast potatoes which were "crispy" in the extreme having obviously been kept warm for too long. No excuse at these prices and with no other choice of potato, so served with every meal. We dined late in the day but had booked several weeks in advance and felt it let down the overall undisputably high standard of the food. Otherwise the fish (hake) and rare roast beef our party ordered were all divine, as was the sharing bread we ordered for our starter. Sharper knives would have helped with the beef. The pub is full of character and tables spread in separate small areas so quite cosy and intimate and waiting staff were excellent. No separate children's menu, but smaller sizes of the main courses offered, or an alternative of sausage (which our little one rated highly tho he struggled to crunch the roast potatoes!). Riverside setting and outside tables for al fresco dining in warmer months.

    Excellent all round. The menu offered a very good choice of imaginative dishes, making use of seasonal and local ingredients (for example a starter of Jerusalem artichoke gnocchi with goat’s cheese); the vegetables accompanying main courses were properly (I.e. not over-) cooked. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely go again.

    Very pleasant lunch venue, service excellent and relaxed atmosphere. Pork was not very tasty, would be better if slow cooked on the bone. Desert with sweetcorn pannacotta was odd and not to our taste.

    Wow, wow and wow again. I have to say that I think the food at the Riverside at Aymestrey is amongst the BEST and most flavoursome I have ever eaten. And believe me, my husband and I have eaten at some amazing restaurants in our time. Every morsel of food was packed with a punch - I have absolutely no idea how they did that! There was salt and pepper on the table, but was totally unnecessary - everthing was perfectly seasoned. I was seriously blown away by the experience and, even though we live almost 200 miles away in London, I would 100% come back to stay/eat at the restaurant again.

    Fantastic food - exactly what you’d expect from a chef who knows what he’s doing - don’t expect pub grub and be prepared to pay. We had the snails to start (superb) - I had Hake my partner had the Duck - followed by desserts - with a couple of drinks it came to £80 - so like I said not your typical burger and chips place - you wouldn’t eat there every week unless money was not an issue for you but for a special occasion I’d definitely recommend it. The staff were great as well

    We only wanted a light lunch so had the risotto starters which were delicious. Beautiful warm homemade bread and artisan butter plus truffle fries, wonderful. Charming service, and when they knew it was my daughter’s birthday, they brought out a brownie with a candle! So lovely, would def recommend. Also it’s a beautiful place by the river, ticks so many great boxes 👍👏👏👏

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was beautifully presented but the beef was a bit tough and actual cauliflower would have been better than a puree. The panna cotta was disappointing as it did not taste of the promised lavender. Overall a good experience and I would visit again.

    Excellent food, service, cleanliness, beer, wine - struggling to find a negative - possibly wines went very pricey when going beyond the basics? Anyway, definitely going to get a few friends together to go back there again! (Wife was under-chef there many years ago to a future Michelin Star chef - so a real trip down memory lane!)
