The Cake Box Tea Room in Forest of Dean

Just had a delightful afternoon tea yesterday at this lovely little spot and cannot recommend it highly enough. We have sampled afternoon tea in many top notch hotels and none of them come close to what the Cake room offers. Fresh home made soup to start followed by scones with jam and cream, a selection of sandwiches and wraps, gorgeous sausage rolls and a wonderful selection of sweet treats and all home made. Absolutely beautiful and enough left over to fill two large boxes to take home. We will def be back. Welll done to the owner and the lovely staff working there!

Delicious homemade cakes which were responsible priced. We absolutely loved the Eccles cakes. I would definitely return.

Un salto en un tocino bocata rápido esta semana porque yo estaba fuera trabajando en la ciudad. Colin el nuevo propietario, utilizada para ejecutar una cafetería en Ledbury comí en muchas veces. Él era el Director General en el Inn (también local Kilcot a Newent) previas a la cocina italiana y siempre fue encantador y amable con todo el mundo. Un café en un pequeño pueblo.

Un pequeño salón de té en el centro de Newent. Un gran servicio a los propietarios. Un buen café y una comida excelente. Vale la pena una visita

Visité aquí cuando yo estaba en Newent el pasado fin de semana con la ONU. Necesitaba encontrar un banco mientras estuve allí y encontré este lugar así que metimos un amigo y yo en una taza de té y un trozo de tarta. Está situado en la calle principal alta y que funciona como un restaurante italiano en la noche. El lugar está puesta con esas pequeñas mesas adecuadas para una familia de cuatro, con pequeños y agradables manteles. No nos detendremos para largo, pero tenía una taza de té y algo de tarta. El té salió en una de esas antiguas ollas que su abuela solía tener en su mesa de la cocina. Tenían tazas apropiada. El pastel era muy bien presentado y tenía un sabor delicioso. Si hubiéramos tenido más tiempo podría haber parado para algunos el almuerzo, pero lo que vi era tradicional, acogedor y irresistible. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo cuando estoy en la zona. Es una pena que no visitar por la noche para probar su comida italiana como es más que un tiro de piedra de donde vivo. En resumen, un pequeño lugar de la vieja Inglaterra. Me alegra ver lugares como éste aún

friendly lovely people food good quality and nothing is too much to ask. have been here a few times and never been let down.

Popped in for lunch. Partner had French onion soup, served with crusty bread. He said it reminded him of a soup he'd enjoyed in Montmartre, Paris, which is a great compliment! I wasn't very hungry so asked if they could do me an egg mayo sandwich. It was lovely! John & Pearl are welcoming & friendly - visit before they retire!

Always good food freshly prepared, The owners are always friends and nothing is too much trouble. They will prepare things that are not always in their menu,

Popped in spur of the moment to grab a bite of lunch as I saw advertised on a board outside that they do soup of the day with crusty bread for £3.25. Todays was Roasted Red Pepper and Basil. The soup was delicious and extremely good value. The staff were more then happy to provide additional bread if needed and were very helpful.

Four of us popped in this cafe for a snack during a walking holiday in Gloucestershire last week. I had a superb parmesan and herb scone and other dishes included a toasted teacake (absolutely massive), a cornish pasty and a sausage roll. Including an enormous pot of tea the whole bill came to just over £8 - we thought there must have been a mistake as it was so little, but no. The two owners were extremely friendly and helpful telling us a little about the immediate area and of a nice walk round a lake. We would certainly have gone back had we been staying longer and I would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely little cafe.

The cake box is a lovely café run by John and Pearl. On a Thursday and Friday night thet turn it into a fantastic Italian restaurant, you really must try. Booking recommended.

This is our third time at this super little Italian in Newent, what a find. The food was superb the sea bass was amazing. Pearl and john are great hosts.

60th birthday party here with an Italian flavour!! Excellent food. Great menu choice! Highly recommended.

We LOVE this place! I had a lemon tart with cream, my husband had a lumpy bumpy cake and we both had drinks, and it came to just £5! Absolute bargain! And the cakes were really really lovely. By far our favourite tea room. And the couple who run it are so lovely. Can't recommend this place enough. Would give them 10 stars if we could :-) Keep up the good work!

hELLO, i am from Gillingham and I would like to share this amazing experience of the Eggfree Cakebox. I had not heard-of EggFree Cakebox before but, a friend recommended it to me. One thing I dislike about the Eggfree Cakebox is there promotional efforts, I have not seen any of the advertisemens. I think that they should not rely on the word of mouth as many have not heard of their fantastic cakes.

Popped in here during the Lunch time whilst visiting Newent with family. Warm welcome given on entry and shown to the one remaining table. Drinks order taken straight away and then left to peruse the menu. Order of 3 x Panini taken within 5 minutes. Slightly disappointed in the Panini as they were toasted baguettes. I also ordered mine with pickle but when it arrived I had to ask for pickle as none had been put in.We felt like a dessert so checked the menu, unfortunately the 3 desserts we ordered were not available and only cakes were offered. We felt we should have been told that the desserts were off and not available when we were given the menu rather than being told when we tried to order them.

Our third visit to this intimate Italian Trattoria and once again we had a perfect evening. The atmosphere , the service and especially the food were all wonderful. I thoroughly recommend the minestrone soup for starter and trout for the main , if available , - it's baked in a bag ! If you still have room , indulge yourself with the lemon tart. You will not be disappointed.

We are addicted to cream teas, and planned our trip to the charming low key market town of Newent to get a taste of them, as well as enjoying the other attractions. We arrived on a freezing cold windy rainy day and were delighted to seek refuge in this quaint little place, all prettily decorated for the holiday season with quiet carols playing. at first we were told there was no cream, just jam and butter, but on seeing our faces the lovely owners rustled up some wonderful thick cream (not squirty cream - they told us they never serve that and the reviewer who mentioned it must be mixing them up with someone else). But the high point of the tea were the scones- the best we have had this trip and maybe the best ever, just the right degree of crumblyness, with not only currants but also candied peel...a large pot of strong tea for us all, and extra hot water and milk for the baby were supplied with pleasure. The tables were covered with beautiful embroidered tablecloths, spotlesslyclean and starched. Altogether a reviving experience.and only ten pounds for the lot for the four of us. Highly recommended

Quaint setting and low cost menu. Average lunch and note squirty cream given with scones. Friendly staff.

Essentially Italian food and makes a change from the takeaways around it. Very personal attention. No licence but they provide glasses for your own wine. I hope it stays like that as restaurant provided wine is around three times what you would pay for the same in the supermarket.A cake shop during the day, and a restaurant at night.

Mine and my mums favourite cafe to go to in Newent, the cream teas are incredible, with perfect fresh baked fruit scones, warm from the oven, and you get change from £3!! John and Pearl are lovely and work so hard to serve fantastic home cooked food with a smile and a lovely atmosphere - would recommend to anyone!! Yet to try the Italian kitchen but by all accounts it is just as good!

We Had a lovely 3 course meal last Friday night at the Italian Kitchen, nice intimate atmosphere. Pearl and John are friendly and attentive and nothing is too much trouble, the food was delicious and very reasonable. You can bring your own wine along too! I can highly recommend the Italian Kitchen, booking is essential as it is very popular.

Pretty little cafe with super friendly owners. Gorgeous white chocolate raspberry cheesecake and lovely coffee. They made a huge fuss of our dog who enjoyed every second of our visit.

My wife and I had a lovely meal here with a couple of friends. It was the best Italian food I have enjoyed since I was in Italy three years ago. No exaggeration. And the service was friendly and helpful. I am so glad I went for the £18 option so I was able to indulge myself in tiramisu for desert. Perfect. I will be visiting again for my wedding anniversary.

We came here for the evening Italian kitchen with friends.The place is very cosy and imitate,you can bring a bottle of wine along too! The food was delicious and great value for money at 2 course for £12 or 3 for £18 and both with an Italian coffee at the end.

Wonderful atmosphere in quaint little tea room in newent lovely hosts amazing scones were served warm from oven 5 star tea room

Always a warm and friendly welcome from John & Pearl, Food is always good and freshly prepared. The coffee and cakes are always good. My favourite is the Carrot Cake with the fruit scones coming a close second. They now open on a Thursday evening for Pasta Nights, and have been opening for Italian Meals on a Friday and Saturday Nights. Booking is essential for the Italian Meals.

We have visited for tea on several occasions and have also had the pleasure of dining in the Italian Kitchen. On all occasions it was great and we love the fact that everything from the cakes (wheat and gluten free available) to the pasta are home made. We highly recommend The Cake Box.

This was our first visit to this quaint and cosy tea room which becomes an Italian kitchen on Friday and Saturday evenings. We received a warm welcome and the service throughout our meal was friendly and attentive.Tables and menu choice have to be given in advance by the Thursday evening which wasn't a problem as we all knew what we wanted anyway. It's a small olde worlde place with quite an intimate feel which we all found delightful.There's no licence to serve alcohol so you need to take your own drinks - however a welcome jug of water is provided on each table.

Popped in here for breakfast for the 1st time in years and it was as good as ever. Nice breakfast great service and change from £5
