Fromebridge Mill in Stroud

Officially the worst carvery I have experienced. I have never actually tried to eat shoe leather but I am reasonably sure what my son and I had on our plates today came remarkably close. Staff were polite but busy and if we hadn’t ordered a dessert our plates would not have been collected before we left. I travelled 60 miles to take my mum out to lunch as she had heard good things about the carvery; won’t make that mistake again!

Had a carvery last week, staff there are so friendly, I was served by Marvin who is an absolute star, he looked very happy in his job and it showed, Carvery was lovely as always, we will be back very soon, thanks to all the staff there

It was busy, and we were directed to a table quickly. As a visitor, no one explained the process of how the service worked. I had fish and chips with garden peas, and my friend had the carvery was plentiful. I felt my meal was disappointing as the peas were dried up and tasteless.

Sunday lunch Easter Carvery excellent. Very tasty. Then sat outside, sun was out. Great atmosphere. Well done to all the staff

Went back again today for a carvery, staff are very welcoming and friendly, Marvin served us the Carvery today, he was lovely, friendly and helpful, an absolute charming man who smiled a lot, we will be back very soon. Thanks again for making us feel so welcomed.

Came here for a celebration meal for a birthday so booked a table in advance. Overall the food was fantastic, really lovely food, we all enjoyed ours and my 3yo didn't complain either. So overall, really great to have a good meal. The issue was the service. It took us up to 15 minutes every time we wanted to order from the bar. There were only 2 people working behind and it was very busy. We waited 15 minutes to order our drinks, then 20 to just place an order for food. Whilst the actual service for food was really good, it was really off-putting being stood in a queue for ages. It would have perhaps been better to have one taking just drink orders and one sorting the food, perhaps? As at one point someone was placing an order for drinks and food for a table of 12, and at that moment there was only one behind the bar. So the queue was extremely long! That said though, great food. And everyone there was trying hard so can't fault the staff, just think they need more OR order at your table would really help! Update: Thank you for your response. We didn't know that we COULD order from the app however, no one told us and couldn't see it advertised. Perhaps something on the tables or when busy, staff could inform us? That would have saved a lot of people as so many were complaining. Great to hear we could have though.

Marvin always has a warm welcome and a great smile. The food is always hot and tasty. Excellent value for money. It’s a good friendly restaurant. Keep smiling Marvin

It's a lovely place set on the bank of the river Frome. The food was nice but I was a little shocked to be charged £4.10p for a pint of diet coke .

Absolutely brilliant carvery at thr fromebridge today... beef was absolutely melt in your mouth 😋 thank you all

All meat succulent and tender, veg cooked to perfection. A triumph! Good work Marvin.

We turned up without a booking today for the Carvery and they where incredibly busy but still accommodated us. Carvery as usual was first class especially for the price, the staff work hard and do great job. Credit where credits due 👍

Very good service lovley staff. The food was good. But chicken. Was over cooked. Otherwise, a good visit overall. We would visit again.

Historic. building,fabulous food, friendly efficient staff

It was busy with pub games going on which added to a nice atmosphere. The staff were helpful and friendly on arrival & sat us down pretty quick. We chose fish & chips & homemade beef & ale pie. Both were hearty & on hot plates, which was ideal.given the meals. The pie was full.of beef with hot gravy, the battered fish was a decent portion. Pricing was good with a good selection of beers, cider & sodas. A family would enjoy it as well as couples or singles.

Booked a meal for mother's day booked well before the date was disappoint that we were not put in the main area it was in the drafty area where you get put if you don't book . Had the roast dinner beef bit tuff and some of the veggies were not that hot. Being busy day I understand there would be a time limit but what was disappointing was staff coming down to see if we had finished even low we still had time in our slot. Very disappointed on this occasion for our visit to this pub. Respond to Owner's comment. Sorry but that wasn't the case as we did have staff pressur us we saw them watching us . And I'm disappointed you didn't address my other comments.

Well and truly the best place around for a carvery, beautiful location and atmosphere! Head chef on the carvery counter is well and truly phenomenal.

Really good carvery! We went on a weekday without a booking and it did not disappoint (I assume by the quality that prebooking would be necessary for a Sunday) Decent prices and good portions the Yorkshire puddings were huge 👌🏼 Lovely location too We will definitely be going back

For me the food ie roast was excellent especially for the money. Drinks too were reasonable prices. Will go again soon

Nothing but good things to say about the fromebridge mill and it's staff! We hired the function room to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary and it all went so smoothly, from the phone call to book to the organisation on the night there were 28 of us food came lovely and warm,everyone was happy and helpful and nothing was too much trouble! So thanks again guys for helping us have a lovely evening 😊

Lovely setting , friendly staff , good value food

Nice location. Cheap carvery. Tastes okay though, I guess you get what you pay for. Felt like most the staff were struggling to smile through their shift. The guy serving at the carvery was miserable at best. It felt like a restaurant in a British caravan park.

Service was slow not enough staff on day I visited

First visit here. Not overly impressed. It says dog friendly, but I couldn't find anywhere on the booking to say you're bringing a dog, as they have a certain area for dogs. They have a doggie menu, got our girl the carvery, £3. It was served in a plastic takeaway tub! It was basically left over fat! We wouldn't feed her this at home. We were hoping for a bit of veg as well. Needless to say, don't order this. You need to order your meals at the bar. If you miss the sign when entering, you wouldn't know. The person who directed us to our table, didn't inform us of anything. Only that we have the table for 1 1/2hours! The whole atmosphere felt rushed. Yes it was busy, but people queuing for food and drink was ridiculous. Why on earth do they not take your orders at the table??! The staff were not attentive and not approachable. Will not be visiting this place again. Not very autistic friendly either. The setting is the only best thing about it. Replying to Sacha The food for our dog wasn't altered at all! We were not offered any veg, just to be told that's it. I appreciate that Sunday's are busy. But, ordering at the bar for food can take 15-20 minutes or so, then waiting for the food, so the time is reduced to relax and eat your meal. We had people queuing next to our table, very off putting. The feeling was unorganised and rushed

Called in after a visit to Gloucester, was one of the last people to have the carvery and was very enjoyable. Plenty to choose from, veg was great, meat was great so would call again for sure..

Meat was good rest of carvery was rubbish

Good food and plenty of it but a downside is the queuing. Q to order, pay before you eat and Q for ages to collect your food. Pudding? Q to order etc. Very, very busy and loud.

Our third time here since we first discovered Fromebridge Mill for a family Birthday and always a great experience. Food is good value for money with an excellent all day Carvery in particular. Although it was busy on a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon we never felt rushed and the staff are very accommodating and friendly. Very convenient location a few mins off the M5 junction and a beautiful location next to the river and weir. Big thanks to the team for looking after us and to Pam in particular for taking time to explain the history, show us the old water wheel and workings of the mill. We'll be back soon!

A great pub in a great location. We enjoyed a lovely lunch sat outside in the sunshine overlooking the river. Followed by a good evening meal with friends. The food was well cooked and there was a good gluten free menu. There is a large car park and motorhomes can stay the night.

Had a lovely evening, Fin and Josh were incredibly helpful and welcoming. What a lovely team!!

Me and my husband came in for a Friday night meal and was pleasantly surprised by what the Fromebridge had to offer. From start to finish was top notch. I have to mention our waitress, she looked after us for the whole night and we were very impressed by her service, unfortunately we didn’t get her name but she had lovely red hair. Food was brilliant and not a big dent in the bank either! Keep it up fromebridge we’ll see you soon!

Had a really lovely meal with quick service and Josh was really helpful and looked after us well.

The two of us popped in for a drink after a very nice walk Thought we would take advantage of the steak offer I ask for both to be medium to well and both were rare one more so than the other.Both were tuff and the lady on the table behind said the same Also i don't expected to eat a meal with a member of staff on the phone shouting all about bookings .Not a good review What a reply i do know how to answer a phone and that's not shouting a laughing in a dinning room .Forgot to say fire alarm went off not one person explained what was going on

Lunch deals are limited choice but are fantastic

Outstanding food, mouth was exploding with different flavours when I had a roast here, highly recommended, the views are amazing

Food excellent. Hard to see in there quite dark

All fab one of best Sunday lunch I have had in a while

Been coming to the fromebridge for a number of years now and made some great friends here, the manager, sarah, and her workforce are fantastic, sarah james, Anna, zac, josh just to name a few are so welcoming, chatty, lovely people that make coming here a heart-warming experience. Hats off to the staff and manager! Wouldn't go anywhere else with my friends or children!!! Sat outside by the free flowing canal and waterfall in the summer is one of the best feelings in the world, the perfect destination for a meal, catchup or a date !!!

Banging food carvery is outstanding marvin top guy very friendly and great chef atmosphere is great highly recommended will be coming back no doubt about it

Had a carvery, found beef to be very tough & chewy, sprouts hard under cooked, gammon rubbery. Shame really as there is a good selection of veg. Second time we've found tough beef. Definitely room for improvement.

Another fab carvery at Fromebridge Mill, meat lovely and tender, good selection of veg. Marvin ( Chef) is always so friendly and helpful no matter how busy he is, always smiling. Tracey and team quick and efficient on the bar, a great place to visit especially on a lovely sunny day

Meat was cut so thin and fatty veg Luke warm yourkshire pubs hard and cold very poor experience tried to blame on the time we went

Love this place it was amazing once again keep the good work up

Arrived late evening reasonably quiet excellent Gammon with pineapple and egg welcomed on arrival food served quickly and lovely and hot can highly recommend good value for money Lovely setting will return

Me my gf and her brother came here for lunch on a Monday and waiting almost a hour for drinks we ordered on their app only too be told they don't sell the drinks on their app that we choose.

My granddaughter had her 18th birthday meal hear the food was fantastic and the staff were brilliant they made time to talk to us all we will be back very soon thankyou all for making it a great evening

Extremely delicious carvery 😋🤤 great meat selection Excellent portion size. Awesome veggie selection. Will definitely recommend this carvery.

Food excellent lot of choice in vegetables and meat very nice. BUT what lets it down is the car park, diabolical, the potholes disgraceful and on a wet day impossible to park. Please sort the potholes out.

We came as a large party, service and food was great! Thanks Steve for accommodating us. Highly recommend, lovely place.

The food is solid pub fare however they need to sort out hygiene levels in the rest rooms. When four members of my table had to request soap in the ladies toilets and none materialised after staff being informed on four separate occasions. Shocking! They need to ensure someone is responsible for restocking the bathrooms. Not what you want in a restaurant when Noravirus is rife at present.

First time here and won't be the last. We had the mixed grill and even tho it was really busy we didn't have to wait too long for our food. The food was really well cooked and homemade chips which was a bonus. The staff were all friendly and everyone of them that passed us acknowledged us and the place is super dog friendly which is an added bonus. They even have a dog menu. Coudnt believe tho how cheap the meals and drinks were there compared to where we usually eat the drinks were a lot cheaper and the food was worth every penny ... You have a bar menu and also a carvery, next time I will try the carvery as everything looked and smelt stunning. Would highly recommend this place to try you will be pleasantly surprised as were we...

Had yet another first class meal in a warm,friendly atmosphere with outstanding service as always from Tracy who is always keen to help.

Tiny portion sizes for the price. Paid 8 quid for 4 tiny pieces of so called "crispy" pork belly bites. They were tasty but the price is an absolute joke.

Was realy looking forward to a lovely carvery , The yorkshires were left in a basket so was stone cold , there was no gammon left , the potatoes my friends and myself said tasted funny ? So disappointed with this , the man behind the bar didn’t greet us very warmly no smile etc But the ladies that were waiting staff was all very cheerful and helpful , so not sure if it was a bad day for theses guys. Just not sure I want to go back ? But otherwise lovely. Location great place to visit

I hosted a party of twelve for a delayed Xmas lunch. Ten of us had the Lighter Bites menu, and two had the carvery. No one complained about the quality of the food, but the service was rather slow, both ordering at the bar, where there was a long queue, and in the wait for dishes to arrive at table. Seems like they could do with more staff - the waitress looked very harassed! It was also a bit cold in the place - the radiators were warm but not hot. However, we all had a great time!

Had a lovely carvery here. Arrived Sunday at 5pm. Was busy but got quieter around 5.45. Staff helpful.. lovely old mill building over looking water ways.. would be lovely sitting outside in summer there.. Only down side was we ore booked table and asked window seat.. But they places us table 16 which backed onto the queue area for carvery...so had people queuing and knocking my chair.. Avoid table 16...

Like coming here, the staff are very good, wheelchair access and parking, carvery always good,

Lovely Mill stream setting. Very convenient for M5 journeys. Mainly carvery but other food available. 3 meats on offer ham, beef and turkey. Good selection of vegetables

Great carvery and menu not bad. Amazing building and gardens.

Haven't been there yet. Not sure why you sent me this review form

Fantastic carvery and really good value for money. Service was good, quick to bring other members of the party’s food out and three of us had the carvery. Loads of choice, nice and hot, Yorkshire puds are amazing and massive. We went on a Wed night and it was really busy which is nice to see. It is a big pub so nice to see it ike this.

I came yesterday amazing price amazing food amazing staff always 100 service recommend 😀 👌 always very busy

I spent a long weekend hiking in Gloucestershire and had dinner here on my first night. The experience was so good that I ended up coming back for the next two nights as well! The food is excellent (and reasonably priced) while the staff are all really friendly. The pub building itself is also beautiful and in a nice location with plenty of parking available. Would definitely recommend!

Nice date night for me and the hubby, we picked here on a recommendation from a friend. The setting is beautiful. The building is really nice with its beams and original walls exposed. The service was friendly and helpful, and food excellent. Lots of drinks choice, even non-alcoholic gins. We were really impressed. Thanks for a lovely experience, we will be back 🙂

The Sunday roast is amazing, loads of food - definitely book as it gets super busy.

Food was good lots of veg options at the carvery and Sarah our waitress was very friendly and helpful.

Nice looking and rather large pub with outdoor seating and river views. Nice friendly staff. The beer offering is limited - when I visited the only choices of bitter were bottled and those are always kept in a fridge so too cold to savour. We ate here too - OK so no food poisoning but not sure how you could make a "signature burger" anymore tasteless than the one I ate - didn't come with rosemary skin on fries as advertised and didn't have anything remotely green or red on the plate - some may like that lol but I like a bit of salad. Desserts were better than mains. All in all a mixed bag but I ended up with a full belly, a little tipsy and enjoyed the ace feature of this destination - £10 overnight parking for our motorhome

Had the most fantastic roast today the service and atmosphere were great. Very friendly staff and Sarah made sure we enjoyed our visit.

Very friendly staff, food was nice. And has a good amount of options to choose from, including a carvery.

Arrived to be greeted by the delicious waft of carvery. The food was delicious, staff were pleasantly welcoming and we had a great evening meal. Image the place must be packed out in summer with lovely riverside setting.

Great carvery with lots of choice.

Food was lovely, great atmosphere, excellent service.

Visited january 30th. No steaks. No curry. Rude barman Stephen. Had to revisit bar several times to get a carvery ticket. Won't be going back

Such a beautiful restaurant/pub! It has a very comfortable feel with a beautiful view, delicious food and to top it off, the loveliest staff I have ever come across. They are incredibly kind and genuine people. I have lived in a few different areas and this is 100% my favourite place to go, the staff definitely contribute to the warm and relaxing feeling the pub gives simply due to being kind.

Good food, great service, better quantity food wise than the Toby carvery

I’ve been there a lot with my family, Christmas meal was lovely. And every time we go there it’s always been friendly,

Excellent as usual. Have been here at new year most years since 2000.

Delicious carvery and excellent customer service. Will definitely be back ❤️

Lovey boxing day meal for our family of 12, I thought the staff were brilliant I felt sorry for the two women on the bar they were grossly understaffed. The food came out in good time considering the pub was pretty full. The ordering of drinks & food from the bar was a bit crap on boxing day & we had to que several time through the meal to get everything needed not what you want when out with all your family at a one off yearly event, they could have employed a few extra waiter staff over the Christmas period to take orders considering the prices they were charging. Still a very enjoyable meal & lovely location we've been to many times over the years

Highly recommend this excellent establishment tucked away in the heart of Gloucestershire. Special mention to Steve behind the bar. A true gentleman!

21 of us had our Christmas dinner at the Mill .The food was excellent.Thr atmosphere was excellent.The service was excellent.The views were amazing Thankyou

Friendly welcome, show to our table Food was good hot and plentiful at the cavery counter Which we enjoyed Staff are friendly and helpful

Visited on a Monday lunchtime. The staff were helpful on arrival. There was an excellent carvery, which most diners seemed to choose, though we ordered from the menu. A good range of real ale was available and a well stocked bar. The bar and dining room were tastefully decorated and the atmosphere was relaxed. We will return.

We love visiting the Fromebridge Mill, food is usually very good, the carvery is excellent, so glad they're doing it again. It's always a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The only negative is that there never seems to be enough people serving at the bar.

Just the cutest little place. Great staff. Great food.

Had a carvery twice in the last month and it was great. Lots of veg to choose from, all really nice and not over cooked. Very busy so worth booking but great atmosphere and quick service from the bar and carvery. Will definitely be back soon.

Lovely meal from the Cavery, generous portions, well cooked potatoes and vegetables.

We were so pleased to see the return of the carvery. Loved the meat and the great selection of vegetables, such good value for money.

Staff were brilliant but disappointed as we had rang before hand to confirm carvery was still on and was reassured it was on every day and evening when we arrived at 6.45 we were told it wasn't on it had sold out ,this was the reason we choose the Fromebridge as we wanted a carvery, we eat regularly at the hunters hall once a wk probably and husband was fed up with eatting the same things from menu and carvery was something different for us and the other adults with us.

Visited Fromebridge Mill yesterday for Sunday lunch. We originally booked a table for 2 and then asked if we could amend the booking to 5. Even though the restaurant was fully booked they managed to accommodate us so many thanks to Sarah. All of us opted for the carvery and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The meat was good quality and plenty of veg to choose from. Very good value for money and we will certainly be returning in the near future.

Called in while passing, for quick drink, very quirky unusual place, plan to go back soon.

Lovely old building and setting on the riverside, with small waterfall so lovely on a sunny day. Nice bar left as you go in with old mill equipment on show.main dining area lacks character but pleasant none the less. Very popular early dinner spot and waiting times can be 45min for food. Carvery or menu selection of standard fare...steaks, burgers, fish & chips, lamb shank etc

Fantastic roast , the chef Marvin put so much love and effort the food . The mash is amazing and the cheesy cauliflower cheese was dvinet

If you can't be arsed to make a Roasty and hank Marvin then yiu can't beat a full on carvery at Fromebridge Mill!

First time been there will be going back again lovely food friendly staff and a nice atmosphere 😋

14 of The Family visited there yesterday afternoon Sunday 11 Nov 24, for the carvery. Very Friendly Chef, welcoming and gave proper slices of the meat on offer ...Well Done Chef... Overall very pleased with the Carvery, and will return Thank you, Rich

Great night had by all 24 of us who came for an 18th birthday, we all enjoyed it very much, staff and food was great. Good value for money. Would defo recommend.

Was my first time getting food here and the waiter at the bar (Zack) was very welcoming to take our order and the food came quickly and cooked to perfection.

Very lovely food, and the waiter Zach was very friendly

Food was very good and waiter zach was amazing.

Lovely carvery as always . Value for money
