The award winning Carriages restaurant is uniquely located within the allpay ltd campus in Whitestone Business Park, Hereford, and has been described as "City chic in rural Hereford".

Carriages was inspired by founder Tony Killeen's passion for trains and the quirky setting of the restaurant, which overlooks the old Whitestone railway station.

You can enjoy views of the rolling hills from the floor to ceiling windows in the top floor restaurant; dine inside or alfresco, on the spacious balcony, or walk the landscaped grounds surrounding the Four Seasons lake - which transforms into a maze of secret gardens, impressively lit up at night.

Carriages is open Friday and Saturday evenings.

For bookings over 6 and/or to book our free mini bus service, for use after dining, please call 01432 852303 or email carriages@allpay.net

Due to the nature of the restaurant, any children dining must be over 12 years old and accompanied by an adult.

Dress code is strictly Smart Casual.

    This was our second visit to 'Carriages' and we enjoyed it every bit as much as the first. Possibly the unlikely situation of the restaurant at the far end of a business park adds to the sense of delight when one finally arrives and discovers the very smart restaurant premises. The service is outstanding and I would like to thank all the staff for making our guest's birthday celebration so civilised and enjoyable. The food was exceptionally well prepared and presented, especially the main fish course, which was perfectly cooked. The wine list is extensive and, we thought, very reasonably priced. On a matter of purely personal taste, I would prefer very soft, instrumental background music - if any is needed at all; vocals can distract and interfere with conversation although, if one were dining alone or just as a couple, then perhaps it would be more welcome. This is a very minor point and in no way affected our enjoyment of the evening. Thank you.

    We had a wonderful evening. It was my husband’s birthday and two friends joined us. Every dish was absolutely Devine. I don’t think any of us left anything on our plates. The service was excellent. The two young ladies were friendly and tentative without being over baring. Thank you to those two ladies, We appreciated the way the tables were well spaced out so we weren’t overhearing other conversations. The background music not too loud and the whole ambiance was just perfect. Good to know we have at least one restaurant in Hereford that have it just right. Thank you Carriages for a lovely evening. We will certainly be back. We all wish you were open more evenings. Any chance of that over Christmas or New Year?🤞

We do have Thursday, 12th December available as an extra date and would love to welcome you back! Kind regards, The Team at Carriages

    We had a lovely evening celebrating my partner’s birthday with friends who had not been to Carriages before. They absolutely loved it and i know if they thought otherwise they would have told me. Absolutely seamless courtesy and service but without any pretension. A very ambient and comfortable environment, with amazing food. We had such a lovely evening.

    We tend to select good quality restaurants. Our experience at Carriages proved to be excellent - the food was outstanding, so much so that we would have liked more vegetables! Our welcome and the general attention received was greatly appreciated. This was our first visit and will not be our last - and next time it will be with close friends. Carriages has to be congratulated.
