A spur of the moment day trip to Bromyard meant finding somewhere for lunch. This pub on the High Street had a blackboard on the pavement advertising home-cooked food, so we thought we’d give it a go. Entrance is to a public bar that spans the width of the building: three draught beers on offer (Wye Valley Butty Bach & HPA; Timothy Taylor’s Landlord), so a good start! Welcomed by a very friendly landlady who pointed us towards the menus displayed on wall-mounted blackboards in a dining area accessed from the side of the bar. The menu apparently changes frequently depending on the fresh ingredients supplied to the kitchen and the whim of the chef - no bad thing when his background includes employment in the kitchens at The Dorchester! Our visit was, fortuitously, on a Friday - the day after the regular delivery of fresh fish. We opted for the sharing fish platter, but could have chosen one of half-a-dozen fish dishes listed - they all sounded delicious. There were other non-fish options that were also appealing - we’ll definitely be going again to sample! We chose to eat at one of the courtyard tables outside, the day being warm and sunny: there is also seating available outside under cover. Managed to park in the pub’s car park, but spaces are very limited. Definitely a pub with character offering excellent food. Don’t expect modern, corporate gourmet pub surroundings - but that, for us, was a plus point. Welcoming, with good beer and food - what more could you want from a town-centre pub?
