Here at The Bateman we pride ourselves on our food, and in particular our locally sourced Herefordshire Beef which is, without doubt, some of the finest beef to be found in the country.

Whether you decide to eat in the relaxed comfort of our main dining room, or settle in front of the fire in our welcoming and homely bar, we hope you will agree that a meal at The Bateman will be a meal to remember...

Our Restaraunt is open from noon until 2pm daily, 2:30pm on Sundays. During the week, evening meals are served between 7pm & 9pm, but the Restaraunt is closed on Mondays during the winter period. If in doubt then please contact us in advance for availability.
