Hot Bowl Cafe Bistro in Forest of Dean

Had a lovely lunch both of us choosing the fresh fish which is well worth the trip. Beautifully cooked with fresh, more interesting vegetables. Thoroughly enjoyable in a perfect setting. Friendly, very attentive staff with food that is all freshly cooked. Will definitely be back.

We had our extended family Christmas meal here and it was really fabulous. The food was delicious and the staff warm and friendly. Great experience.

Fabulous bread and cakes and lovely friendly staff. I always enjoy their produce and like the fact they support other local small businesses.

We had a fabulous family meal at The Bell on Saturday evening and very reasonably priced. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was beautiful (especially the fish pie, which was to die for) Today, The Bell did us proud again when they provided a wonderful after funeral buffet for us at a very reasonable price. The selection of fresh sandwiches and home made cakes was fabulous plus sausage rolls, samosas, pork pies, sausages, dips, salads, crisps, nuts etc etc. Thank you both for looking after us all so well . We will see you again soon. Xx

Dont bother wasting your money.!! If you are not in a hurry, want to help yourself to condiments and ask for service, and get some dodgy food, go for it! Really disappointing and didn't even offer a refund!
