We are thrilled to share that two of our venues have been shortlisted in the Visit Herefordshire Tourism Awards 2025!
- De Koffie Pot – shortlisted for Pub of the Year
- The Left Bank Village – shortlisted for Business Events Venue of the Year
This is a wonderful recognition of the diverse experiences we offer here on the riverside – from relaxed evenings by the firepits at De Koffie Pot, to large-scale conferences, exhibitions and corporate events at The Left Bank Village.
At De Koffie Pot, community, culture and creativity come together. With its riverside courtyard, live music, poetry nights, art exhibitions and famously warm atmosphere, it’s become one of Hereford’s most cherished gathering places. Being shortlisted for Pub of the Year celebrates not only our welcoming space but also the hardworking bar and kitchen team who make every visit memorable.
At The Left Bank Village, we are proud to be Herefordshire’s leading business events venue. Last year, we won Business Events Venue of the Year and we are honoured to be shortlisted once again in 2025. With flexible riverside spaces, upgraded technology and a dedicated events team, we continue to support clients in delivering successful meetings, conferences and celebrations of all sizes.
Owners Gary and Karen Waring are delighted with the dual nomination:
“To be recognised across two such different categories is really special. It shows the strength and diversity of what we offer — whether it’s a business leader hosting a conference or a family relaxing with drinks by the river. Most of all, it’s a credit to our amazing team who make it all happen.”
We’ll be keeping everything crossed for the Visit Herefordshire Tourism Awards ceremony in February 2026 — and in the meantime, we look forward to welcoming you to the riverside.
