Goodrich Castle

Reviewed By Daveshent - Leek, United Kingdom

Great castle visit for all ages, book in advance to ensure you get a time allocation, the visit is self directed but numbers controlled for social distancing, Its is a great castle in a wonderful location, lots of information boards bring alive the past and its easy to visualise what life was like and the history of the castle, there are some guides on hand for further detail, if its a nice day take a pic-nic and sit on he mat laws for a lovely lunch to soak up the surroundings. A great day out for all ages.

Pots and Pieces

A friendly 5 star tea and coffee shop with delicious cakes, light lunches and a range of unusual giftware.

Reviewed By b11lrs - Sleaford, United Kingdom

So our travels have taken us from Lincolnshire, through Avoncroft and onto Ross on Wye for a look around and lunch. The temperature has reached 34 and we are now hungry. After a little look around we were walking up the hill and came across Pots and Pieces. Wow we were lucky! Track and trace completed, we were shown to a table and even though the person had a mask on you could see she was smiling. I ordered the Brie and cranberry toastie with crisps. I could have added salad but too many bad experiences with tired lettuce and a mass of raw red onion put me off that part. What a mistake! My wife ordered the same as I but without the crisps and with salad. When it came it looked fresh, no onions and a fabulous dressing. Oh did I have salad envy ????. The toilet was clean and scented, the decor in the restaurant was beautiful with items for sale and thanks to eat out to help out the meal was half price! Go there if you are in Ross it has lovely people working there, amazingly friendly and I could not fault service or food.

Truffles Delicatessen

Welcome to Truffles Deli. Set right in the heart of the Wye Valley, Ross-on-Wye sits on the famous sandstone cliffs over looking the river Wye. There nestled on the cobbled high street which leads from the market square to the river, Truffles Deli is a foodie haven for young and old alike. Stocking everything a deli should and more, you'll find Cheeses, Salamies, Olives and Drinks in abundance. If that wasn't enough we also sell home made sandwiches that are made to order, home made soup and salad selections. This is all made in our own kitchen at the back of the deli where you can see our team hard at work. As well as stocking the best of Herefordshire and surrounding counties we also stock some great Italian and Spanish lines. We make a lot of our own cakes, quiches, salads and pastries right here in the shop, customers often ask us if we can bottle the smell of the shop!

Reviewed By WrO1

Can’t wait for truffles to reopen - hopefully with delivery again. Pre lockdowns we frequented for salad boxes paninis - and of course the obligatory homemade cakes. The staff and owner are always friendly and stop to have a chat even if busy and they always talk to the children - making them like the place even more than the sticky biscuit cake and caramel shortbread did already! Some of the additional shelved items can be pricey but supporting local business is better than being overrun by chains and there is always something different and outside of the ordinary to be found. We have sampled from the small selection of breads before too and quiches, cheeses etc in the ‘deli’ counter - always top quality and very tasty! The courtyard is lovely too and like a small escape from the town.

Symonds Yat West Leisure Park

Reviewed By 68davea - Honiton, United Kingdom

Stopped here en route to Hereford from Westcountry. Reasonable parking fee £3.00. A number of walks available from just over 1M to 6. Great views of the Wye Valley too. Now peak season is over, no "covid" issues regarding crowds. There is also a cafe shed near the rock for a well deserved coffee and/or cake. Well worth dropping in on, and could easily spend a day walking if the weather is kind. Chance of spotting peregrine Falcons if you're lucky!
