Crown and Anchor, Hereford — Restaurant in England

Been here many times before and had a fantastic meal but today just wasn't the same. We were firstly put just by the toilets..... we could tell by the smell that we were seated by the loos.

I will go again as I feel it important to support local pubs as much as we can right now and hope that as they get back on their feet that they can lose the...

On holiday nearby and booked a table to have Sunday lunch for our Anniversary...had a generous Roast beef dinner...a variety of green and root vegetables and a delicious cauliflower cheese made with a proper cheese sauce..oh and a huge light Yorkshire pudding all served with a rich gravy. Husband had dessert (I was too full) and was presented with a huge slice of lemon cheesecake with vanilla ice-cream... definitely homemade and delicious. Service was friendly and efficient and we are planning another visit before the end of...
