"We visited this pub as part of our day out on the Wye. I was greeted by a really friendly young man behind the bar however that was where the good hospitality ended! We sat outside and would have loved to have ordered some food but we only had a short amount of time there. We ordered our drinks and sat outside. The landlady was extremely rude and hostile, she shouted …. yes literally shouted at us for taking a bite out of our packed sandwich. In hindsight perhaps we should have waited but we had just spent £10 on 2 drinks! She could have come over and kindly spoke to us but instead shouting at us in front of all the other customers Manners cost nothing! We watched her take a stick delivery and it is clear that she has little customer service and her very hostile attitude is “ My pub is busy and I don’t need to try and be warm and welcoming!” Shame as we won’t visit again."

"Feeling esurient, I hastened to Ritmos Tapas Bar to enjoy some Mediterranean fare. I was somewhat surprised to be the only diner there but, being hungry, I grasped firmly the extensive menu and ordered the “Salmon a la parilla” (Salmon with seasonal vegetables). Imagine my surprise when 50 minutes later (still no other customers present), a plate with two filets of white fish appeared in front of me. Intrigued, I ingested the fare to sample what kind of fish this could be; for it certainly was not Salmon. Now being a keen angler, I noted that the skin and the attached dorsal fin were very reminiscent of Grey Mullet a fish common to our shores in copious abundance and traded by nefarious anglers to low grade restaurants. When asked why my Salmon was indeed, not Salmon the Manager simply said “It’s a like a da Salmon”. Sadly I shall not be returning to this place of delectation. I’m not actually sure it is a restaurant but maybe a front for another business. They’re certainly not in the “Fish Recognition” business."

"Matthew was great. He arranged a large table for us and had everything ready for when we arrived. The waiting staff were very attentive and couldn't do enough for you. Food was reasonably priced just unsure of the chips, think it may be that we weren't used to the potatoes they used. Good portion sizes. A little hot in the conservatory but it was during the very hot weather we had and Matthew did his best to keep it cool in there before our arrival. All in all a lovely experience. A little off the beaten track but worth a visit. Parking: nice big carpark Kid-friendliness: child friendly. We used a highchair, would have prefered one with a tray as easier for my daughter to feed herself and not waste lots on the floor but did the job. Baby changing facilities were good, with a clean changing mat and anti bac spray provided to clean mat before use. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options: Free parking lot"
