St Mary's Parish Church in Ross-on-Wye is a fascinating and captivating place of worship. The church boasts an impressive and beautiful interior, with new interactive signage that enhances the visitor experience. Although some users encountered issues with the app, it is possible that this was due to user error rather than a fault with the application itself. The absence of pews allows for greater accessibility and versatility, accommodating various activities and events.
A Beautiful Church in a scenic town, a church with history and beautifully designed with some modern facilities added. Friendly people and a wonderful experience.

Beautiful old church, visible for miles around. Interesting and fine looking interior, plus the churchyard makes for a very nice walk. The Prospect offers a fabulous view of the River Wye and beyond.

Nice church with no pews, so that events can be held there. We were there for the jubilee celebrations. The Rector is pretty chilled as well, as he came and chatted with us for a while. Cool bloke.

Although we arrived almost at closing we were given the warmest welcome and time to enjoy the church. A lovely church.

The church hosts local families for playgroups and food. There is interesting history to read and good views from the churchyard although that is oftentimes fouled by lazy dog owners.

I've been many times before and it is a very interesting church and I really loved the new interactive signage although the app wasn't working for me but could just be user error rather than the actual app. I personally preferred pews but understand that without pews it makes it more accessible to various members and activities. We'll worth a visit and also quite accessible even for people in mobility scooters

No3 Restaurant is a cozy dining establishment with charming rustic-modern interiors, offering a delightful selection of contemporary European dishes, along with an extensive wine and cocktail menu. The seating arrangements are extremely comfortable, ensuring a relaxed experience for guests. The cuisine is truly outstanding, with the lamb being particularly exceptional in terms of its amazing flavor and tenderness. The accompanying vegetables provide a satisfying crunch and delicious taste. The dauphinoise potatoes are soft and effortlessly cut through.
From the moment I sat down the seats were incredibly comfortable. Food was just excellent. I had the lamb, tasted amazing and very soft. Vegetables had a good crunch to them and also tasted great. The dauphinoise potatoes were soft and cut easily. My brother had the steak and its one of the softest steaks and melted in the mouth. Dessert was great not much else to say about. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the staff were exceptional. Didn't need to call for them, they just knew where they were needed. It got really bright and sunny at some point where i couldn't see but the staff pulled out the awnings without needing to say a word. 100% 11/10 would definitely recommend

We discovered the delightful No3 Restaurant when we were staying in Ross-on-Wye for a long weekend. As soon as we walked in, we were made to feel very welcome. We were lucky to get a table without a reservation - but my advice is to book as this is a very popular place! We chose a baked camembert as a sharing starter, and it came with a variety of delicious breads and a tasty plum chutney. Our main courses were both excellent, and the portion size was perfect. The wine we chose was very special as a birthday treat for my husband, and it was very smooth and fruity. The owner and all of the staff were very friendly, and overall, it was a wonderful and relaxed dining experience.

I ate here about 6 months ago and had a wonderful time: creative menu, delicious food, good service, so I was excited at the prospect of repeating that first experience. I was so disappointed! It barely seemed like the same restaurant. The service was fine, only as much as you would expect. But the food was awful. Everything was overcooked or actually burnt. My Asian salad consisted of dried out overcooked bits of pork in what looked and tasted like a bottled sauce. My fish was burnt and dry and served with tough kale and pumpkin. Pumpkin and fish is a marriage I was happy to try, as you never known. It really doesn't work. My two friends,the same ones who had shared that fine experience with me 6 months ago both had similar tales of woe to tell. And all that (just the 2 courses because there were no desserts on the menu that appealed - with an unremarkable bottle of white wine) came to £40 each for lunch. Very expensive for such poor quality. I can only think the chef was off sick. Or perhaps there's been an unsuccessful change of management.
Alison Hebborn — Google review
We had a dinner here yesterday and it was absolutely lovely. I went for the Pumpkin risotto which I expected to be great but it surpassed my expectations, and my girlfriend's steak was perfectly cooked. The service was fantastic too, everyone was lovely and very attentive without being pushy. The only feedback I'd give is that I would consider adding one or two more wines to higher end of the list (£60-£80), after all, you do have Dom Perignon on the sparkling side! For such a busy little restaurant with great food and service, they would sell themselves!

Oh my what an amazing meal we have had tonight, we have heard so much about No3 I thought I'd take my wife there for her birthday and it was so good. I had lamb with minty peas and beans and my wife had braised beef, beautiful absolutely beautiful. For dessert Lynne wanted cheese and crackers and I went for Deconstructed treacle tart with ice cream, this was new on the menu that night. All I can say is get there and order it as it just delicious, the treacle is from Douglas fir tree and it's just devine. While we were eating our dessert and cheese the waitress bought a flaming candle (firework) in some ice-cream with Happy birthday written in chocolate sauce on the plate, this made my wife's night as we weren't expecting anything. Thank you for a lovely evening and fantastic food, definitely coming back for more Douglas fir treacle.

The Man Of Ross pub is a charming establishment situated prominently at the peak of Wye Street. Despite its relatively small interior, it is highly recommended to make reservations if you intend on dining there. We dined with a group of eight people on a Saturday evening and were all thoroughly impressed with the delectable cuisine and warm service. While their specialty lies in seafood, some also opted for the gammon dish.
Lovely lovely lovely... Great atmosphere and great portions, we had the giant cod and chips and cod topped with crispy cheese from the specials menu. Totally stuffed.
Brendan — Google review
Lovely pub in a prominent position at the top of the hill on Wye Street. Surprisingly small inside, so definitely worth booking if you’re planning to eat. Booked a table for eight people on a Saturday evening and we all loved the food and friendly service. Most people had fish as this is their specialty, although I had gammon. Portion sizes are very generous but also great quality; I doubt if many could manage a starter, main and dessert. The small area out front is a sun trap and very popular with the locals and passers by. Managed to get a seat there for drinks on another occasion, enjoying the views and evening sunshine. This pub, and the Hope & Anchor, are standout pubs in the area. This place wins on food but the other wins if you want to be riverside. Nevertheless both great.

Went for a Sunday lunch (Jan 2022) and it was fabulous. Food was all totally delicious and generous portions. The freshly-prepared veg selection was particularly excellent. Really friendly and efficient staff and dog-friendly. It's busy so book ahead if you want a table for Sunday lunch. Highly recommend this place. Go hungry and plan a stroll afterwards to shake down all the food!

Lovely little pub on the corner 👌 great view of the river and a great suntrap. Mark and Jane the owners are really lovely and Mark came and sat with us for a while making us feel at home. It is definitely a place you need to visit. They do food on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The service is excellent even though it was extremely busy both days we went but that was because they have a exceptional barman who is also always smiling.

We phoned and the restaurant area was fully booked, I'm not surprised. We turned up as suggested to get a place in the bar. I'm so glad we did. Roast dinner was superb. Meat and four veg large portions evidently prepared from scratch. Dog friendly, very friendly and Nutty on tap, lovely.

Called in today 4/2/24 at lunchtime, hadn’t booked but even though they were very busy they kindly squeezed us in. We had the beef roast and it was all delicious, all fresh and huge portions. Cannot fault it, very friendly staff, great atmosphere and dog friendly. Our dog was very pleased that we brought the leftovers home, all nicely boxed up by the chef.

We spent the weekend in Ross and walked from the caravan park up through the town to look for somewhere to eat. On reaching the top of town we noticed this little pub with tables outside. No problem accommodating us with our dog. It was getting quite busy even at early lunchtime but we found a nice table tucked at the back of the restaurant area. Plenty of choice for veggies and pescatarians like us. My son and I both had the double decker sandwiches with chips and they were enormous!! Very tasty too! Hubby had the Florentine fish cakes on noodles which he said was different but very nice indeed. Friendly welcome. Will definitely return when back in Ross on Wye.

The Royal Hotel in Ross on Wye is a classic 19th-century establishment offering a restaurant and bar, along with complimentary English breakfast and Wi-Fi. Positioned in the heart of the historic town, it grants picturesque views of the Wye valley and can be conveniently accessed via the A40 route. With its elevated location near St Marys Church, this grand Georgian hotel enjoys impressive vistas of the surrounding countryside.
What a beautiful setting. The views are stunning from the hotel's elevated position overlooking the meandering River Wye towards the Welsh mountains. The hotel itself was very clean and tidy and the rooms were adequately furnished and very comfortable. The food was excellent and the staff were very competent and helpful. Really enjoyed our stay here and can't wait for a return visit.

Part of a chain so the food was fine but nothing special although reasonably priced. Staff and service were friendly and efficient although it did seem a while for our mains to arrive but that could be because we ordered starters. Probably much nicer to sit outside if the weather permits as you can see the river. Enjoyed the local ale.

On the terrace nice view of the river Wye. Though most people would choose to sit on the staggered terrace the best views are seen from further along. Greene king establishment. Food was very good. I had the smoked salmon and it was probably the best I'd ever tasted. Well stocked bar. Gins came with recommended garnish..and not just standard piece of lime chucked in. I was also asked if I wanted my tonic poured in or left separate which I impressed by as I do like to try the gin before adding my tonic.

I really enjoy the atmosphere, food and alcohol in this venue and I visit it reasonably frequently, but tonight I was very disappointed I came in for a bottle of wine and was met with a very sour faced barmaid who was argumentative, and called last orders at 2120 by very aggressively ringing a bell that almost deafened me, and turned the heads of everyone in the bar area, I think some retraining may be required as it caused us and at least one other customer I noticed to swiftly leave the premises. Very disappointed tonight, Unfortunate for such a usually lovely establishment.

Booked this hotel based on its good reviews and ratings. It was everything the reviews said it was Very well situated, we had great views towards the river and the room was clean and tidy with good beds and a radiator that gave lots of heat when we needed it. Breakfast was delicious and served very professionally. Nothing seemed too much trouble from the ever smiling staff. Even check out at 11 suited us perfectly. The bathroom was a little small and tight but adequate. We booked a late Sunday lunch first in 4:00, always a risk when it's that late. My triple roast was lovely but the roast potatoes were very dry, dust like. My partner's rack of lamb didn't come with most of the items listed on the menu such as stuffing, pig in blanket and one item I can't remember. Staff apologised after checking what had gone wrong and a discount was given. She simply had the lamb, mash, seasonal veg and gravy and was disappointed. Service was great though. We'll book this hotel again if we're visiting the area again.

Although I was not staying at The Royal, I decided to treat myself to a afternoon cream tea. I had read reviews of how friendly and helpful the staff were, but I was delighted, and moved by a lovely kind lady called Carol (Field) who took it upon herself to look after me personally when I told her that I had tinnitus and would be unable to sit in the large, noisy bar. She moved me a quieter dining room and couldn’t do enough to help me feel comfortable. I’m very grateful to her for her kindness and consideration. Also my cream tea was absolutely delicious!

Beautiful room, super friendly people and lovely food. The only slight letdown was that odd moments of service just let it down, such a shame but retail is detail. My wife asked if she could order an afternoon tea for 3pm Saturday at just gone 5 on Friday, the young man told it wasn't possible excuse 24 hours notice was required, he didn't even crack a smile. She asked the proprietor again on Saturday morning who said 'absolutely' what would you like. Then at dinner we were left waited Ng for sweet chilli relish, it never arrived, and a second spoon was requested and needed a reminder about 5 minutes late. But these are small details, the rooms are exceptional and the overall vibe is excellent. We will definitely be staying again.

We had a lovely weekend here for Easter. The hotel location is superb, it’s in the town and walkable to everywhere and has beautiful views of the river Wye. The hotel is cosy and comfortable and kept very clean. We put a ssshh sign on our door and the housekeeping team left a bag of clean towels, toilet rolls and beverages refill out side the door which was really thoughtful. The most outstanding thing for us was the breakfast each morning- the menu is extensive and everything is freshly cooked with top class produce used, we would have had it for lunch and dinner as well if we could! The breakfast team, especially Sally and Carol were a pure delight every morning- they go above and beyond with every single guest and their cheeriness is contagious! We loved it here and have recommended it to friends and family.

The White Lion Inn is a charming riverside pub that dates back to the 16th century. It offers comfortable rooms with complimentary Wi-Fi for its guests. The establishment prides itself on serving quality real ales and also features a delightful beer garden. Located in Little Birch, just over a mile from Much Birch, it enjoys a picturesque setting opposite what was once the local pub in the area.
We found this beautiful pub by luck, but it’s fair to say it serves the best food I’ve tasted, everything is to perfection. Staff are so friendly accommodating and welcoming. The views are amazing, sitting on the banks of the wye river with my young family. We did not stay overnight so I can’t make a rating but I’m sure they will be as good as everything else. Stunning amazing beautiful. 1st Class.

Stopping for work over the road. The White Lion was recommended as a place to eat. Phoned up and booked a table for curry night! Super friendly service from the guy behind the bar with coloured hair. Really nice dude. Curry was a great choice from mild to hot. I went mid with 3 dishes. Very good value for money. Nice chilled vibe of a pub with outside seating and river to the rear. Quite the place to be in summer so the barman said. Great place staff and food.

Perfect place to relax by the river. Just far enough away from the hustle of Ross to relax and enjoy watching the canoes and kayaks drifting past. Good beer. The fish and chips tasted great if a bit on the small side.

A stunningly located pub. Friendly service throughout and clearly a happy work team. The food came quickly and to be fair was ok. The fish and chunky chips was not worth the price as both clearly came out of a freezer and into the fryer yet charged for fresh. Not to my taste. I prefer fresh fish and hand cut chips as the flavour is so much better. Cant however fault the staff and service which was outstanding

Pumpkin and fish is a marriage I was happy to try, as you never known. It really doesn't work. My two friends,the same ones who had shared that fine experience with me 6 months ago both had similar tales of woe to tell. And all that (just the 2 courses because there were no desserts on the menu that appealed - with an unremarkable bottle of white wine) came to £40 each for lunch. Very expensive for such poor quality. I can only think the chef was off sick. Or perhaps there's been an unsuccessful change of management.

We had a dinner here yesterday and it was absolutely lovely. I went for the Pumpkin risotto which I expected to be great but it surpassed my expectations, and my girlfriend's steak was perfectly cooked. The service was fantastic too, everyone was lovely and very attentive without being pushy. The only feedback I'd give is that I would consider adding one or two more wines to higher end of the list (£60-£80), after all, you do have Dom Perignon on the sparkling side! For such a busy little restaurant with great food and service, they would sell themselves!

Absolutely fantastic food. Took my wife for a valentine's meal. Enjoyed every bit of it. Nothing was too much for the brilliant staff. Can't wait to return again soon

Oh my what an amazing meal we have had tonight, we have heard so much about No3 I thought I'd take my wife there for her birthday and it was so good. I had lamb with minty peas and beans and my wife had braised beef, beautiful absolutely beautiful. For dessert Lynne wanted cheese and crackers and I went for Deconstructed treacle tart with ice cream, this was new on the menu that night. All I can say is get there and order it as it just delicious, the treacle is from Douglas fir tree and it's just devine. While we were eating our dessert and cheese the waitress bought a flaming candle (firework) in some ice-cream with Happy birthday written in chocolate sauce on the plate, this made my wife's night as we weren't expecting anything. Thank you for a lovely evening and fantastic food, definitely coming back for more Douglas fir treacle.

The Man Of Ross pub is a charming establishment situated prominently at the peak of Wye Street. Despite its relatively small interior, it is highly recommended to make reservations if you intend on dining there. We dined with a group of eight people on a Saturday evening and were all thoroughly impressed with the delectable cuisine and warm service. While their specialty lies in seafood, some also opted for the gammon dish.
Lovely lovely lovely... Great atmosphere and great portions, we had the giant cod and chips and cod topped with crispy cheese from the specials menu. Totally stuffed.

Lovely pub in a prominent position at the top of the hill on Wye Street. Surprisingly small inside, so definitely worth booking if you’re planning to eat. Booked a table for eight people on a Saturday evening and we all loved the food and friendly service. Most people had fish as this is their specialty, although I had gammon. Portion sizes are very generous but also great quality; I doubt if many could manage a starter, main and dessert. The small area out front is a sun trap and very popular with the locals and passers by. Managed to get a seat there for drinks on another occasion, enjoying the views and evening sunshine. This pub, and the Hope & Anchor, are standout pubs in the area. This place wins on food but the other wins if you want to be riverside. Nevertheless both great.

Went for a Sunday lunch (Jan 2022) and it was fabulous. Food was all totally delicious and generous portions. The freshly-prepared veg selection was particularly excellent. Really friendly and efficient staff and dog-friendly. It's busy so book ahead if you want a table for Sunday lunch. Highly recommend this place. Go hungry and plan a stroll afterwards to shake down all the food!

Lovely little pub on the corner 👌 great view of the river and a great suntrap. Mark and Jane the owners are really lovely and Mark came and sat with us for a while making us feel at home. It is definitely a place you need to visit. They do food on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The service is excellent even though it was extremely busy both days we went but that was because they have a exceptional barman who is also always smiling.

We phoned and the restaurant area was fully booked, I'm not surprised. We turned up as suggested to get a place in the bar. I'm so glad we did. Roast dinner was superb. Meat and four veg large portions evidently prepared from scratch. Dog friendly, very friendly and Nutty on tap, lovely.

Called in today 4/2/24 at lunchtime, hadn’t booked but even though they were very busy they kindly squeezed us in. We had the beef roast and it was all delicious, all fresh and huge portions. Cannot fault it, very friendly staff, great atmosphere and dog friendly. Our dog was very pleased that we brought the leftovers home, all nicely boxed up by the chef.

We spent the weekend in Ross and walked from the caravan park up through the town to look for somewhere to eat. On reaching the top of town we noticed this little pub with tables outside. No problem accommodating us with our dog. It was getting quite busy even at early lunchtime but we found a nice table tucked at the back of the restaurant area. Plenty of choice for veggies and pescatarians like us. My son and I both had the double decker sandwiches with chips and they were enormous!! Very tasty too! Hubby had the Florentine fish cakes on noodles which he said was different but very nice indeed. Friendly welcome. Will definitely return when back in Ross on Wye.

I had the opportunity to stay in Ross for work and decided to dine at Avellino Italian Restaurant. Despite making a last-minute reservation for one, securing a table was not an issue. The service I received was exceptionally swift, yet it never made me feel rushed. The attentive staff struck a perfect balance between being present without being overly intrusive. The food at Avellino was exquisite, bursting with flavor and boasting an impressive variety on their menu.
What a fantastic restaurant, with wonderful Italian food so tasty. We had moved house this day and had no food in the new house and went out to eat, It was great and the staff were so attentive. We will definitely be going back for more of that delicious food, thank you for feeding us after a very busy day.

Great pizza and friendly staff. The kids little pizzas are so cute and have little bunny ears, but don't let that deceive you, they are still proper freshly baked home made pizzas that are great quality. Would definitely recommend for a nice pizza out with the family. The pasta dishes that other tables had looked nice also
Mark B — Google review
There were very few restaurants to choose from on a Sunday afternoon in Ross-on-Wye. We lucked out and settled on this Italian spot after searching for too long. Rapid, attentive service and the use of very good ingredients. Prices were on the higher side, and the pizza slightly salty, but the flavours hit the spot. A success.

We went on a Saturday for evening meal. The staff and service was good, very friendly and not too much of a wait at all to say it was full. The food and drinks were lovely, averagely priced but good value for money/good portion sizes. Only thing I'd have to say is that is was absolutely roasting hot in there.. that was the only little thing that I kinda found a bit hard to deal with. Other than that, very very nice food
Jo Jordan — Google review
It was our first time visiting Avellino which was quite by chance. We arrived without booking a table and staff quickly found space in the already very busy restaurant. Service was good and the food excellent. We will definitely be returning to try other dishes on their menu.

Had a lovely meal here tonight but was so full from just mains that we had to forego desserts. I mentioned to our lovely waitress that the only thing I could probably have would be a limoncello and the next thing she’d brought over 3 complimentary shots! Really appreciate this gesture and would happily recommend as the food was great too Thank you A+++

I was staying in Ross for work. A last minute table for one wasn't a problem. The service was incredibly fast, but I didn't feel rushed. The staff were perfectly attentive without feeling like they're hanging over you. The food was beautiful. Full of taste and the menu choice was great. The garlic prawns were delicious. The lasagna was rich and full of flavour. If I'm being VERY picky, the edges were a little well done but it didn't detract from the taste at all. The banofee pie was enormous, especially for the price. Well presented and delicious. If I was local, I would definitely be returning. If I'm in the area again, I will do.

Had a lovely meal here last Saturday night. Great atmosphere and the staff were really attentive. Enjoyed all my food - delicious and good value for money. I especially enjoyed the antipasto starter. Nice affogato for dessert - with biscotti sprinkled on top :) Would definitely recommend. Can't wait to go back.

We really enjoyed our evening. We shared a starter of meats and cheeses followed by pizza and pasta. The staff were very friendly and the food was delivered promptly and to temperature. We have tried many restaurants in this little town and this one beats them all! We look forward to returning in the future.

Indian restaurant
Zam Zam, an Indian eatery, provided a satisfying dining experience last night with flavorful curries and a surprisingly impressive interior. The staff ensured a friendly atmosphere while adhering to Covid safety measures, delivering quick and efficient service. Despite the husband's non-vegetarian preference, the vegetarian meal for two option proved to be both delicious and great value for money.
Top quality food, had a beautiful meal. Definitely would recommend 👍🏻
Karl Morris — Google review
Are you joking? Are you JOKING!!! This was the worst Indian I have ever had. Everything was bland, the chicken was dry, the butter chicken had coconut in? And was like a bitty soup with barely any chicken in. Everything was unseasoned, chips were soggy and unsalted. The best part was probably the salad and the popadoms. Apart from this, the man who delivered out food was lovely. However, I would rather be repeated punched in the face than eat this food ever again. If you are looking for authentic Indian food then don’t go here, a ready meal is probably better than this - sorry to say, but I don’t know how on earth so many people enjoy this? I would give the food 0 if I could.

Me & my mum went to Cafe zam zam last night & sat in the restaurant for a treat (as it’s our favourite Indian ever!) and just to say the food just gets better & better! All the staff are so lovely & welcoming, the food is tasty & fresh & the spice can be adjusted to your taste, the prices are brilliant & they now have a license to serve drinks with a huge choice of wines, lager on tap & spirits at prices to compete with Wetherspoons! Honestly I have tried various Indians back in Oxfordshire where I live & nothing comes close to Zam Zam! Please support them, they deserve your custom 😊

One of the worst Indian food I have had in UK. The Tandoori Prawns were stale, chicken tandoori was tasteless, biryani was like spicy rice and no background taste to it. And even the serving was not good, we asked for water and we get it after one hour after asking to many times.

Great hosts, beautifully presented rooms, delicious and very tasty dinner with attentive staff on hand, followed by a good night's sleep.

We were here for a family birthday and there is nowhere in Herefordshire we would rather go than Orles Barn. The food is superb and the atmosphere is genuinely warm and friendly.

Outstanding service, warm and friendly interaction with guests, nothing seems too much trouble. An open fire greeted me in a cosy dining area by the bar, and the food blew me away. I had a sea bass fillet, which was cooked perfectly, moist flaky fish with a crispy salty skin = simply delicious. Once my food had settled a little, I also shovelled down tasty fresh fruit salad, all the fruit perfectly ripe and tons of it. Highly recommend the restaurant. Though stuffed, I'm already looking forward to breakfast. I was visiting locally on business so cannot fairly rate the location as I chose this hotel for its proximity to where I was working.
