Hello! Welcome to our fabulous Herefordshire pub. We are a pub and place for all, whether you are staying with us, passing by or live locally, by all means come and see us.
The Fisherman’s Arms Pub is a 17th century Farmhouse with a wealth of beams and character.
The Fisherman’s Arms is one of the key parts to your holiday. We are open for food and drinks. It’s a lovely place and the atmosphere is always friendly and warm.
We serve fabulous proper pub food to satisfy anglers and their partners.
It’s not fancy food, just proper pub grub, done really well. Have a look at Trip Advisor as it’s one of the best places to eat in the county.
Our Sunday lunches are the talk of the local area serving all day.
The Fishermans Breakfasts where we are open daily, have won local awards.
From light lunches to fabulous daily homemade specials we are every morning and lunchtime *
Evenings we are seasonal – so every Thursday, Friday and Saturday all year around. Monday to Wednesday its summer only.
Adjoining our bar is the restaurant which also has oak beams, flagstone floor and log fires. Perfect for that well deserved meal at the end of the day! Relax and choose from our menu of tasty dishes… And you don’t have to do the washing up!
Wi-Fi is free of charge and available throughout The Fisherman’s Arms.
Disabled access at the rear.
We are a great little Herefordshire country pub offering lovely….. pub grub.
Our pub is a big part of Docklow Pools, which was founded way back in 1972, when two 20-year-olds aspired to getting out of the town and factories to own their own business.
Some 50+ years later, Docklow Pools is not only the first ever commercial fishery in the country, but possibly the most respected and beautiful places to holiday and fish you can find.
Docklow Pools & The Fisherman’s Arms work hand in hand to offer peaceful enjoyable times for both residents and locals a like.
We don’t apologise for the large portions or that the dishes are mostly homemade aimed at anglers and their partners, but its great everyone can come and share the fun.
In the summer season, we are open as a pub, café, coffee shop and restaurant 7 mornings, lunches and evenings a week.
So, you won’t go hungry!
Out of season, we are open Thursdays and weekends for food and drink.
In 2022, the team won the local award for the “Best Breakfast in Herefordshire”.
That wasn’t just for tried and tested Full English, it was for all the marvellous alternatives like homemade American Pancakes and Eggs Benedict.
Super Deb and Tracey quite marvellous at what they do.
Sunday is our local success, our Sunday Lunch served as a carvery. It’s very popular for a reason so it is strongly advisable to book in advance.
Out of season we work 11.30am to 4pm, but in the summer it’s all day, lunch time to 9pm. Poor Neil’s hand must be falling off by then!

Thank you.xxPosted on Ivan IvanovTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely place with good fishing pools . The only downside is that there wasn't ice-cream in the restaurant ;) but not a deal breaker 😉.Posted on Brian HynesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have visited Docklow Pools many times and it is always brilliant. Due to go again on 20th June for a week. Although I booked a ticket on Major Bill pool unfortunately I was unable to do any fishing on my last trip. Enduring Stage 4 cancer for the past 5 years the trial drug Adagrasib is keeping me stable but not cured. Side effects are total exhaustion amongst various others. Sitting on a fishing chair has not been an option for me. I hope to give it a go in June. Looking on the bright side I am still here and the lads are looking forward to my cooking.

Where do I start, what a place this is a fishermans heaven, the place is pristine and the lakes are extremely looked after with a massive range to fish for literally covers for everything you could go for. The venue has the most amazing, helpful staff you could ever meet a big shout out for o'darie (hope i spelt your name right) what an absolute merit she is to this company and an amazing host and also the other team members we talked to, they all make you feel welcome and willing to go the extra mile. And 5* to the chef the food was amazing good old fashioned homey food. Me and my brother will certainly be returning very soon thankyou all for giving us an amazing weekend of memories.Posted on eirlys jonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
