We had finally got an evening when we could all go out together and decided to go to the Horse Radish, formerly the Dovecote, formerly the New Inn at Minster Lovell. It was a Tuesday so pretty quiet. Nine of us, very picky, managed to have a most excellent night out. The hosts were very attentive, offering advise on the menu, explaining dishes we weren’t sure of and full of stories to entertain. We were made very welcome from the outset. Whilst enjoying pre dinner drinks on the patio, which has the most outstanding views over the surrounding countryside, we were offered a basket of blankets, should anyone feel chilly. Into the restaurant and the ordering of the main course. Steak was preferr...
We looked at the menu before going due to different dietary requirements, but given a different menu on arrival and told the online menu is only a sample menu and it changes every week. It would be helpful if the website could be updated weekly with the menu. I recommend checking the menu over the phone before going, if in doubt.The tables where we sat are squashed in very tightly together, making getting into and out of your chair quite problematic. Even once in situ, you are quite tightly confined.The food was good but the portion size small, and value for money therefore disappointing. This was compounded by the lack of service. We had to chase for extra drinks, desert menus and the bill...
Would like to say a big thank you to the busy staff here at the Dovecote. They kindly let us bring our puppy with us on Mother's Day for lunch (unlike a number of other local so called dog-friendly pubs) which meant we could join the rest of the family for a lazy lunch. As the people who had the table before us over-ran they were running late, so generously the staff let us have a free round whilst we waited at the bar for the table to become ready. The Traditional English Carvery was very tasty, and we were also given a free taster (full main really) of an Indian dish that we mentioned looked good on a neighbouring table. Full marks for customer service, thank you
My husband and I were looking for somewhere to break up our drive from Leighton Buzzard to Hereford, and were lucky enough to stumble across the Horse and Radish. We sat outside with our two dogs, and looked out across the beautiful lawn and view. The house dry white was excellent and great value. The crab linguine was delicious and a generous portion. We were made very welcome and the covid-19 precautions were all in place and clearly communicated. We enjoyed it so much we booked in again for our journey home on Sunday

Popped in for a Sunday Carvery and we were glad we did. This is a fantastic location for a restaurant, the welcome was loverly along with the service. The staff were very helpful and attentive. We opted for the Carvery which was delicious ????. We certainly will be back again soon, and this time to try the Indian menu. Thank you to all.
You are greeted warmly by the very attentive staff who give excellent service.The food is first rate and they have a very good wine cellar.We were so impressed after our first visit we returned the following day and were pleased we did,conistently excellent.The ambience is very attractive.
Went with a group of friends offered small roast at half price. When we ordered manager came and said they couldnt offer a discount so changed it to 75 percent. Chicken hard, so were veg really not worth the money. Views over valley lovely but certainly wouldnt go again.
We were a table of 19 and everyone’s food came quickly and was really good. Service was great and the food was amazing! We will definitely come again...and thank you very much for the birthday cake :
