4 more Hereford Pubs re-reviewed

Last week saw an interesting night out for us HM pub guiders, we visited four very different establishments. Just click on the pub names below to read the new reviews:

• The Heart of Oak
  

This is a great pub, very little has altered since our last visit, this obviously isn't a bad thing as the pub retains it's 3rd place ranking.

• The Lichfield Vaults
  

Another high ranking (6th) town pub; however, this place has seen some changes: the area towards the back of the pub has been opened up and is much brighter and airier; and, the beer garden has also had a facelift- but on the downside the old 'Easter Island' statues are gone and are sorely missed (by me)!

• The Oxford Arms
  

We're slipping down the rankings now, the 'Arms' only manages to come out in 33rd place, but that isn't as bad as it sounds. There are definitely some good aspects, such as: the separate bar, lounge and pool rooms; and an extensive grassed beer garden- which is great for a summer's evening drink.

• The Herdsman
  

We're definitely heading in to "local pubs for local people" here, but it's not as intimidating as I remember. It's lowly 51st placed ranking can be attributed to it being a small, slightly shoddy bar but a bit of TLC would do it a world of good.
