Eating Out in Hereford

But just a bit further afield there are some great places to eat in Hereford too – just about half an hour’s drive from all parks. Here’s our pick of some of the tastiest locally owned, independent eateries.

Breakfast in Hereford

To start your day there’s some great places serving breakfast around the city – and we’re not just talking a bacon roll and a mug of tea here (although who doesn’t love the simple life?!).

Rose and Ramble Rose & Ramble – Açai bowls, superfood smoothies & tropical vibes has just expanded from a stall in the Butter Market Traders – The Butter Market Hereford to a fabulously styled shop in Widemarsh Street (between the old bit and the new bit). Locally owned, it serves acai bowls, superfood smoothies, overnight oats with a twist and loads more. From a Brazilian (not the bikini type) bowl to Biscoff Bliss – it’ll liven up your tastebuds at breakfast. (Dog friendly)

Sensory and Rye Hereford | Sensory & Rye  is another locally owned, independent restaurant serving throughout the day including breakfast from 8.30. Here you can get a fry up with a twist, or something more unusual like a middle eastern shakshuka. Lots of their food is sourced locally so it’s tasty and sustainable! (Dog Friendly)

Dough Dough café in the heart of Hereford another locally owned eatery that serves breakfast to suit all tastes. From toast or crumpets to the Dough fry up or a straightforward bacon roll – it’s all about the local produce so your food hasn’t had far to travel! (Dog friendly)

Fancy a coffee?

There’s nothing nicer than sitting down for a brew – anytime of the day. All of the above serve great coffee (and tea), and Hereford has all the usual chains if a Nero or a Costa is ground of choice. M&S has a cafe if you’re playing it safe but there are some great independents too.

The Coffee Cart Company is a locally owned, independent that’s been, as they say themselves, grinding away since 1999. You’ll find the Coffee Corner just opposite TKMaxx in the Old Market complex and the Coffee Cart in High Town outside Lloyds Bank. They roast their own beans so the coffee is always cracking but they also do great milkshakes, pastries, paninis and local ice creams. Both locations have lots of undercover seating – and are great places to people watch! (Dog Friendly)

In the Old Market there’s a couple of coffee pop ups including The Sugar Shack Bakery Sugar Shack Bakery & Wholesale with hot and cold drinks as well as lots of homemade sweet treats! Local butchers Heggie’s Heggies of Hereford.
