Best pub in the City by some distance. If you ever wondered where the real pubs went, then visit the Barrels. Great beer, real cider on tap, but the real gem is the enormous courtyard, much of it under cover. Prices are about 5 years out of date so it won't blow a hole in your pocket. Don't bother with the Barrels if you want a pretentious, plastic pub with kitsch on the walls. Jalsagor curry house across the road worth a try too.

Been coming to Hereford for years & only discovered this pub this year. Quality establishment. Great beer, friendly staff & great atmosphere.

It's certainly one of the best pubs in the area. Locals (if thats what they are) are friendly enough once the ice is broken. I got the impression that many of the 'locals' are from the local (top secret SAS) barracks, or at least are ex-service. Recomend this pub to all.

Lovely "no frills" little pub with really friendly owners. Facilities are quite basic for camping but the welcome is so lovely and the staff are more than helpful with everything we've ever asked of them.
Can't wait to come back!

Nice Picture, maybe we could have a competition for best photograph of a pub. This could be quite a contender!

Nice spot by the river, though can be busy with campers from the adjacent site, so maybe not for Summer weekends. Well-served local beers (Wye Valley etc.). Can't comment on food - the kitchen was still out of action following flooding when I visited, but we'll go back to try it.

Taken over by new landlord in 2007 (?). Now sells excellent real ales at affordable prices, and good food in the renovated Stable Bar. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

A bit of a foody pub but cracking pint of Yorkshire Gold (yes I know.....keep it locale, but I had already sampled the local brews elsewhere that day)

i recently visited this pub on a Friday night and was not impressed by the manager. my party of four were treated to a prime example of a rip off!
don`t know which company this is .....what an ATTITUDE.

Visited to find the place empty,Sugarbabes blasting. The ale was ok but the place could only be described as moderate. The barwoman was more interested in winning the money the punters had lost the previous night. I stuck a pound in the jukebox but never heard me songs due to it being queued up with the barwomans "NOW 69" Britney Spears shite choices. A few punters from Grimsby in town for the soccer came but went,some without even getting served.

Proclaims CAMRA awards but all from years gone by...........A place seriously living on its past reputation.

Yes indeed, the good ship Victory has been holed below the waterline. The grog has gone off (tasks like they threw the old spinning dog's body in the brewing vats) and the crew stand by to repel boarders (by not changing the bed linen).

I was disappointed on a visit last week to find that of the 5 beers on the pumps when we called, only 2 ended up drinkable. We did get to see the Spinning Dog brewery at the back, and were given somne of the bottles, but had expected to spend some quality time in this interesting pub.

Went to "The Welly" with my girlfriend for an evening meal a few weeks ago and had been warned about how good the restaurant was. I was not disappointed at all. Well worth the 3hr drive from Bournemouth, and all the awards the pub have won are totally deserved on this showing. Congrats on a great establishment.

Wye Valley's HPA on-tap and a brilliant bar/restaurant menu. A little bit pricey, but you get exactly what you pay for.. (and what's not stupidly over-priced these days anyway!!) Went in on a thursday night and just stayed all night.. had some great chats with some 'interesting' locals and then made my excuses. But, blow me, what an experience!

Awards greatly earned. This is a great pub with a hugely successful restaurant and if you go there, you'll see why. They have a Sunday roast to die for, but that certainly isn't surprising when the best locally sourced meat and veg is arriving on your plate. This is one of my favourite pubs in the county and will always be recommended to friends and business partners alike. Wye Valley beers on tap :)
