The Riverside at Aymestrey - winner of Visit England 'Best Tourism Pub 2018' and ‘Herefordshire’s Best Restaurant 2021’ - is situated deep in the heart of Herefordshire countryside. On the southern edge of the Mortimer Forest, we are a short drive to the quaint market town of Ludlow and County Capital of Hereford.

Food

Dining at the Riverside

Sustainability and ethical sourcing is important to us for our mussels and sea fish. We also score well regarding food miles for British produce and Fair Trade sources for imports. The kitchen garden is an important ingredient in the creation of menus and Andy and his team prepare the ground, sow and reap the seasonal vegetables and fruits.

We have designated "dog tables" in our bar should you wish to bring your four-legged friend to dine with you - please mention this when booking.

We are also able to cater for groups, so should you wish to join us for a special occasion please contact us to discuss your requirements.
