Was this Ye Hostelrie?
Yes. Same pub, same people, new name.
The 1851 census lists the inn as Meyrick Arms, and there’s a copy of the page by the bar.
Sundays, noon to 3.30pm. Booking essential.
The Sunday roast
£21 to £25
Children’s roast £13. Sausage and roasties £10.
Pasture for Life beef, belly pork, chicken supreme, or a garden croquette for the vegetarians and vegans. Every roast comes with:
- carrot and swede purée
- greens
- braised red cabbage
- roasted parsnips
- Yorkshire pudding
- cauliflower cheese
- roast potatoes
- bone marrow gravy
The vegetarian roast comes with a vegetable gravy. If you’re vegan, tell us when you book. The vegetables are bottomless. Bowls go on the table, you help yourself, and we keep them coming.

Small plates
Dishes like the ’nduja Scotch egg with black garlic caramel, or beetroot gravadlax with crispy potato hash.
Mains
Haddock and chips, the chipotle bacon cheeseburger, Penang curry, and dishes that change with what’s in.
The garden
Picnic tables on the lawn and herbs for the kitchen. A pint of Wye Valley in the sun.

Where it comes from
Meat and vegetables from Wye Organic, just up the road. Ales from Wye Valley Brewery. Wine from Wythall Estate.
Inside
Low ceilings, log fires, a bar where the regulars stand. Dogs have favourite spots by the hearth, and walkers in muddy boots are part of the furniture. Children’s menu and high chairs. Free Wi-Fi. Card and cash.
The building is Gothick, from about 1830, Grade II listed, and one of the last pieces of Sir Samuel Meyrick’s Goodrich Court still standing. Locals call it the ’Til, and always will.
Godric’s Café
Round the back, through the garden
Breakfast from 8am, Tuesday to Sunday, then brunch and lunch through the afternoon Tuesday to Saturday. Walk in, no booking. Closed Monday.
Before it was Goodrich, the village was Godric’s Castle. We borrowed the name.
