Charlotte Cafe @Malswick House in Forest of Dean

My partner, pup and I stopped on route to Shropshire. We were welcomed by lovely staff who showed us where to log our car for parking. We were shown to our table quickly and a lovely lady brought us a fresh bowl of water for our dog. Our order was taken after a few minutes and drinks arrived shortly afterwards. Our food came quickly and was really tasty. My partner had ham, egg and chips, and I had stuffed vine leaves - both were great. The only reason four stars were given and not five, was the outside looked tired (we had to go inside to check they were open) and the toilets were out of toilet paper and soap - which 45 mins after they opened was a little disappointing.

The most incredible gyros I’ve ever had!! Very welcoming/friendly staff, great selection of drinks, nice decor and seating areas, big outdoor space, plus events and live music!!

This is the second time we have stopped here on our way back from Snowdonia, it is a nice pub set back off the road with plenty of parking. There is a nice food selection, and a good selection of drinks. The owners are very friendly and the service is excellent. On both occasions we have stopped the food has been freshly cooked, well presented, tasty and more than sufficient. I would have no hesitation recomending this place to any hungry traveller needing a rest stop.

My wife and I had heard good things about Charlotte’s Cafe so we tried it tonight. The Gyros was lovely. Plenty of chicken, nice salad and some chips. Just enough to be full. Not massively oversized so there’s loads wasted. Beautiful taste and not greasy or spicy - just right. We will be back soon!

Amazing hidden gem, food was amazing! Best gyros we’ve ever eaten. Friendly couple running Charlottes cafe and good value for money!

Popped in on a whim whilst driving past as we were feeling peckish, brilliant decision. Friendly and welcoming staff on entering and as it was a Sunday then had a carvery on which was delicious. Nice atmosphere with music playing, marquee out the back with a few tables then more tables in the garden along with bean bags which gave it a cool vibe.

Absolutely delicious food, fabulous service and a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend to anyone ☺️🫶🏼
