Broome Farm Campsite.
They also make about 60k litres of fine cider every year. Great people and good mates of mine. And cheap camping
Ask if you can camp in the Old orchard.
Not far from Garway

All depends on how early is early, Little Garway is in the middle of nowhere, you have more chance if you overnight in Hereford or Ross. Are you looking for a good greasy spoon,something a bit more up market with local produce or maybe a van that does breakfast rolls.
I don't know that area south of Hereford massively well but I know there are few members on here from this neck of the woods.

If you want to stay in Hereford the rowing club next to the river wye has camping/motor home parking and I've heard good things about their breakfast, plus they have a bar 
https://www.herefordrc.co.uk/campsite
About a 5 minute walk into town/ cathedral etc. About 30 minutes drive to Garway.
Rowlestone court has camping not sure about breakfast, Nice setting and homemade ice-cream. https://www.rowlestoneicecream.co.uk/party
Pontrilas post office has a cafe and is on the way from there to Garway. You will need to call about breakfast opening times, plenty of space to park, this is the website with phone number https://www.gvfitnesscentre.com/ (they have a gym attached).
https://www.tygwyncider.co.uk/ is between rowlestone and pontrilas. I guess it depends if you want to be in town or out in the sticks.

Presumably Oldfield Forge?
If so, I can highly recommend the Garway Moon Inn. Gret food and beer. They might even let you park up there overnight.

Garway Moon is a top spot or at least used to be

It certainly was last year when Mrs RWD and I stayed there for a couple of nights. She got me a days forging for my birthday.

Yes I just hope the actual experience is better than the booking process, had loads of issues, Kids bought it but I had to go into hospital for surgery, I had a weekend voucher I had to send a Doctors note to prove I couldn't attend, sent it all off they extended the voucher but will now only let me come in the week and have charged me an extra £50 and we have both struggled to get time off work in the week ( that's why it was a weekend voucher) , every conversation is so long and drawn out over 30 emails.
Lets hope they can redeem themselves.

You're going to struggle to find anywhere that early, most places open at 8am.
Ascari cafe opens 7.30 but I've no idea what it's like I've not been for years plus you'll still be tight for time, Hereford is not renowned for its free flowing traffic
11-14 West St, Hereford HR4 0BX
Opens 7:30 am Fri
Phone: 01432 265147
Is it city you want?

I'm sure I read somewhere that miles/hour crossing Hereford is in the top 7 slowest places in the country.
I don't generally don't have to cross town unless I'm going to buy something but it's small price pay, I'd rather live here and put up with a bit of traffic.

Just an update
The Galway Moon was first class, it was curry night the food was great, the Land Lord kindly allowed us to park the motor home on the carpark, we popped back in for breakfast and had lunch delivered to the Forge, it was all great thanks for the tip.
The Forge experience was very good but badly let down by the booking experience, I have never experienced such poor service even to the point of you book and Axe making course and have to pay extra for the handle!

If I'f honest, the Forge itself didn't impress me either. I did have a lot of fun people watching though!
So it should be advertised as a ‘axe head’ making course. That really is disappointing- and not likely to encourage good reviews!

Just in the process of composing my review, the instruction was very good, safety well could be better, but booking is just very poor and really lets the course down.
