The Farmers Arms in Forest of Dean

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!

A diamond in an emerald setting!

Terrific food, though it was bar service which is to be expected from a pub. Didn't ruin the experience at all.

Lovely pub, in an idyllic location. Well worth a visit!

Wellington Heath is reached by narrow lanes. However, unlike Devon in the summer traffic is light and there is no shortage of passing places. The Farmer's Arms has a surprisingly large car park. The building has genuine rustic charm. We were made very welcome. Friends tellus that the food can vary depending on which chef is working. When I visited I chose a pizza. It was a generous size but it was rather dry. The Farmer's Arms is not open every day of the week so do check before travelling. The church at the other end of the village is noted for its wild flowers. These are at their best in the spring and early summer

Great food. Lovely classic community pub. Lovely staff and good quality real ales. Not the most accessible garden, and a bit small, but lovely location

We visited The Farmers Arms for a summer Sunday lunch. Set in beautiful, elevated surroundings - the views from the spacious garden are fantastic. There is a decent amount of seating (bookings aren’t available for outside). Offering a traditional lunch menu with modern, Mediterranean starters (I had the burrata salad). The roasts were excellent. I had beef - portions sizes were generous. The roast was accompanied with nice touches such as extra gravy (a massive plus!) and cauliflower cheese. The drink selection was also decent with a good selection of tap and interesting wines. I can recommend the Romanian pinot noir with the roast. We’ll be visiting again when in the area!

Absolute gem of a place. Great selection of beers, ciders & wines and great food options too with a lovely and friendly front of house team too

Easy to find, but along a very narrow road. They welcomed our large party, including 3 dogs. Lovely varied menu and excellent service.

Friendly staff. Beautiful position.

Great to call in wen near. Good ambience and good staff. Great place to go food looks very good

Nice venue. Food O.K. Great place to visit for summers evening dining

Lovely food and drink. Nicely busy.

Beautiful pub, fantastic friendly service, massive choice of great beers and wonderful food. What more can you ask for

Good chips, cosy atmosphere and a fireplace indoors.

Great pub, good food, lovely staff

Great place to walk to from Malvern, and usually a nice selection of well kept beers on the bar This year's beer fest was nice and chilled, with enough beers to be interesting. Well worth a visit or three.

Second time we have been here….the food and service is excellent no question about that !! But oh dear I hate sharing my lunch with dogs. I know pubs have to accommodate dog owners but this particular party let the dog lie in the pathway thru to the tables and the waitresses had to keep dodging it…as did customers leaving the pub…the other dog kept barking….so selfish. I don’t mind dogs in the bar area better still outside but not in the restaurant. The owner of the pub also kept stroking a dog then on to serve food at the tables. Go again….not sure.

Popped in to look at the Sunday menu, ended up staying for the £5 (homemade) burger deal. The Sunday lunch looked great and tasted better and the service was excellent!

Family of 4 away on holiday and all had a really enjoyable meal. Glad we chose this pub out of all the ones near us, even though we did accidentally drive to another pub of the same name first! The vegan lime and chilli burger was especially good. Portions size was very generous and at a reasonable price. Staff were all friendly and a nice atmosphere, building and decor. Only negative I would say is that there's no kids menu. Could do a 9" pizza, fish and chips, Mac and cheese, chicken nuggets and chips all fairly easily. In fairness they did say the could make some dishes smaller for kids but having a menu would be easier.

Best Sunday Lunch in Herefordshire and Worcestershire!!

Camped in our van in the car park and ate in the pub, fairly busy mid week nice food and friendly service

Great food and generous portions

Lovely country pub with friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. Food was simple and done exceptionally well and the beers and ciders were well kept. The deck outside was a lovely place to chill after a long day hiking.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere and unbelievably good food. Service was very efficient and friendly. Restaurant is a lovely space with plenty of room between tables and relaxing decor. Can't recommend highly enough.

What a fantastic stop-over this pub is, now it has EHU for at least one Campervan. A couple of well kept real ales, the usual 'fizzy stuff' crackin' menu for every day, super Sunday Lunch, friendly owner & family. I can thoroughly recommend this pub. An exceptional Country pub

A group of 15 walkers came to lunch today, Saturday 29th July 2023. The food and the service were excellent and the hospitality was much appreciated. My thanks to all the staff - Chris

Wonderful food n service throughly enjoyed it Happened upon this pub after visiting the red Lyon that was closed was pleased we did xxx

Went there for music festival this weekend great music but we order drinks for our party and had to put a £5 deposit on a wine glass as the young lady stated to me it's in case you steal it or break it charmed I'm sure needless to say did not order food as might have been another deposit required for cutlery.

We stopped in for lunch and it was great. Service was attentive, friendly, helpful and the food was delicious.

Visited this lovely place for drinks and food with friends Fantastic food. A good choice, fresh and homemade. Great service. Extremely friendly staff. Dog friendly too.

Fabulous pub with proper home made quality food. Kind and attentive staff and we will definitely be visiting again as already booked. Would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely pub, friendly staff and good food 😊

Super place. Good food, pub grub but also some beautiful specials. Kids pizza freshly made. Loaded fries delicious! Outside area for the kids was great too. Wonderful welcoming staff.

Our party of 4 & our dog visited this beautiful pub/restaurant last night, unless you were looking for this place you wouldn't know it was there, beautiful surroundings. We had a fabulous meal, we hadn't booked but this wasn't a problem, we were made to feel very welcome. Excellent quality food, with varied choice on menu, we chose the Pork, the line & coriander vegan burger & two beef burgers and they were fabulous, we also had sourdough bread with oil, and a bowl of olive's as a starter. Will definitely visit again, this is a gorgeous hidden gem.

Came for Sunday Roast. Food great. Staff very friendly. Scenery good. Will definitely come again. Also dog friendly.

Sun was out, views from the garden were amazing and such were our meal. Fish cakes are Huge but tasty and the new chef’s Pork chop special was exceptional. I’d go as far as it may well of been the best pork chop I’ve ever eaten - Crusted in a season that was absolutely beautiful to eat.

Had an amazing Sunday roast here, lots of meat and vegetables. Good outside area as well.

Not been here for a while...the pub went downhill a bit. But what a lovely surprise, on walking in we were greeted by a charming young lady and shown courteously to our table. The pub is bright, clean, with well spaced tables... loved it !! The food was not just plonked on the plate but arranged pleasingly....,don't mind paying a bit extra when care of that sort is displayed. Thanks will certainly come again.

Following a visit to the Farmers Arms earlier this month which unfortunately resulted in a negative review, we were invited back by the management and had a wonderful family Sunday lunch. We were made very welcome and this time around it was a most enjoyable...

Excellent customer service. Good choice on menu. Lovely Sunday lunch. Good prices. Friendly staff .

Great local pub near Ledbury. Highly recommended. Good good, friendly team. Clean and smart.

Loved it - really friendly staff. Delicious food and good selection of beers and wine.

We booked the cosy cottage next door for the Easter break and used the pub on a number of occasions for drinks in the garden and meals in the evening. There was a good menu choice and a couple of specials. The food was excellent...

Lovely off the cuff stop for lunch. Friendly staff, lovely food.

Have eaten here about a dozen times over past 12mnths. Expected to have a nice evening meal with my partners Daughter/Husband and child. It was yesterday Wednesday 5th April. There was a specials board with Pizzas available. We were sat at our table, we had...

Good pub with outdoor seating. We showed up without a booking and the staff were very accommodating in sorting a table out for us to eat. Very busy during dinner time on a Saturday night. Food was really good and decent sized portions. Very buzzy atmosphere with the locals. Parking out front if you need to drive. Clientele is a mix of all ages. A bit off the beaten track but worth visiting for food if you are in the area. Lovely countryside surrounds the area.

First time to this lovely village pub today booked under Evans we had a lovely welcome by staff our Sunday lunch was absolutely fab, so tasty and all fresh vegetables I had pork my partner beef so tender it was amazing will definitely be coming back.

Great atmosphere. Beer was excellent. Didn't eat but the food and menu looked good will book a table soon.

I would highly recommend the Farmer's Arms Restaurant Ledbury to anyone looking for a great meal ☺️👏🏻

Excellent food here. Roaring fire. Would

Super cute pub with cozy atmosphere, good music, attentive staff and good food at reasonable prices. Real fire and soft lighting. I had 4 of the starters like a tapas as a main meal which would easily have fed 2 people. Chicken wings - massive...

Best Sunday roast either of us has had in a very long time. Very generous servings of high quality perfectly cooked food, good choice of drinks, great service and really nice staff. Looking forward to returning.

We live nearby and this was our first Sunday lunch at our local country pub. It didn’t disappoint - it exceeded expectations. Too often Sunday roasts are just too large, our lunch was a perfect size to enjoy it all. The pork was sensational and...

Really lovely Sunday lunch menu - I would say its not for fussy eaters though, but it was very generous servings, a lovely location and service was great

Having not visited the Farmers Arms since before covid we decided to try it for lunch. We parked the car and were immediately greeted by a friendly little cat, a good omen! Inside we were greeted by a lovely lady and shown to our table....

Can’t recommend this pub enough! Came here for a Friday lunch with friends whilst staying nearby. The food was fantastic and the staff were so friendly and informative. A good selection of beers and ciders and the coffee was great too! Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in the area!

An excellent pub in a small rural village. Serves food at a standard better than many pubs & well kept ales (other drink options also available). Welcoming, with a well organised & friendly team.

Fast becoming my favourite pub in Herefordshire... always good beer and very welcoming staff.

First visit today after a few years, was always great Sunday lunch previously. Impressed by calm atmosphere, friendly staff and very clean with lots of space between tables. Being veggie I ordered a “veggie pie” listed on the menu to come with the Sunday roast...

We’ve just got back from out trip to the farmers arms . Wow! What a delight. Food reasonably priced and absolutely delicious!! The banoffee pie was the best I’ve ever had. The place it’s self is really clean and welcoming and very cozy. It’s a...

We had a late lunch here and were bowled over by the friendliness of the staff and the great atmosphere. The food was delicious and we had a great time. I wish we lived closer and could visit more often. Thanks to all your staff...

Lovely local pub and very friendly staff. We popped in for lunch and a drink with our muddy dog and muddy boots on a long winters walk. We were made to feel very welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed spending an hour in front of the roaring fire. The food was great too ☺️

Just had an absolutely cracking Christmas Lunch at THe Farmers Arms. The staff were friendly and attentive and took good care to make sure my wife's special dietary needs were observed. The food itself was very enjoyable and of excellent quantity and quality. all in...

Lovely welcoming pub with great beer and food. We loved it!

Superb food, cheerful happy staff...recommended, certainly worth a visit.. 5 star

Our group had their Wedding "Breakfast" here. Food was delicious and staff super friendly. Vegan food made especially was so flavoursome, nothing was too much trouble. No hesitation in recommending this cosy countryside pub. Thank you.

This has become our favourite regular pub under the new ownership. The food is amazing and it’s a lovely country pub with great atmosphere. Would especially recommend the Sunday roast and sticky toffee pudding. Would highly recommend

Went for a celebration meal with extended family. Nice old pub and very good food. Staff friendly and helpful, although we had pre ordered our food we were able to order extra starters with no hassle. The pub got a bit noisy when the local young farmers group arrived but nice to see these youth groups thriving. A great evening and a lovely pub.

Had a roast dinner and it was excellent Service was very good and the food was delivered hot and in a timely manner. The pub has an excellent ambience. Would definitely recommend.

Visited the Farmers Arms yesterday first class service and excellent food will definitely return 😋

Pleasant staff, nice decor, unpretentious ambience, and solid menu of well-cooked food.

Great atmosphere. Warm and welcoming

We just love this pub under its current ownership. It’s hard to find a family-friendly place that also has great food and service but The Farmers Arms does this so well. The pub and gardens are fab and they have a massive box of toys,...

My wife and I visited the Farmer's Arms today after an absence of several years We found the friendly welcome, the new decor and the fabulous food a refreshing change from your average pub restaurant As for R3442JUchrish's strange complaint, all that I can surmise...

Food and drink choices were good. Prices average. Staff were very nice. Very out of the way.

Average beer, limited food menu.

We were in the area so popped in hoping for a Sunday lunch. It was fairly busy so we were grateful that Tom could squeeze us in and we were very glad that he did! Myself, partner and 6 year old son had a really tasty Sunday lunch in what is a really nice, friendly pub. We had the beef, pork and lamb respectively - lots of roast potatoes and carrots, fresh green beans and mangetout, creamed leeks, cauliflower cheese, extra pot of gravy and trimmings for each dish. Good sized portions and reasonably priced. It is well off the beaten track down some little lanes but worth getting too.

My partner and I were visiting the area from Bristol and stopped off at the pub as we’d heard the roasts were great. From the moment we walked in the door we received warm service and the best roast I've had in year's (we both...

My family stopped here for lunch mid week at the Farmers Arms and were taken aback at how lovely the pub was, being very roomy and clean, and especially cosy with all its traditional features. With a large garden too for the children to play,...

We visited the farmers arms recently with some friends for a social gathering. The bar staff were brilliant and very friendly and the food was also pleasant. There is a memorial bench just by the doorway to remember a young regular who passed away. On...

Made unwelcome even though we brought 30-40 people there for drinks got told that we were scummers and that they didn’t want us there. There was no trouble by anyone and this was totally uncalled for. Avoid this pub and die of thirst you will...

Spent the afternoon here whilst camping at the top of the hill. Location is beautiful next to the cornfields. Plenty of outdoor seating. Building itself is beautiful and rustic. There was a big chest of toys outside which was great as we had a 7...

Great Pub with great friendly staff and stunning woodland countryside views Great food fine real ales (Ledbury Ale👍) A must to be visited if your in Ledbury Hereford / Worcestershire - fully recommended 11/10 seeing is believing 👍 Andy Trumpet x Roads Pixley End ♥️💛💚 Random Reggae Show Swindon 105.5

What a gem of a place, hidden away down a little lane. I went for a Sunday roast but I was apprehensive that it may be very busy. It certainly wasn't, it must be a very well kept secret! So often meals are either generously portioned but there's little taste, or delicious food but inadequate portions, but not so here. Delicious food and generous portions, and that is from a very greedy diner.

Have gone with my friend and had wonderful food!!!Very good staff. Overall a really fab experience!!!!

Lovely surprise, country pub in a very quiet and pretty village. Great views if you are lucky enough to get the weather.Staff helpful and want you to enjoy your stay, excellent 👍

Had lunch with my wife and it was lovely.

Popped in to have lunch with friends, Sun was out so we sat outside. Sausage and mash to die for, gammon was also on point - Pint of Henry Weston’s in the sunshine I couldn’t be happier …

Had lunchtime special with a group of friends. Food was excellent and service impeccable. At 2 courses for £12.95, it is well priced. New managment are settling in nicely!

This was our first visit since the Farmers arms changed hands a few months ago and it it did not disappoint.The food and service was incredible, the staff super friendly , the atmosphere lovely and we can’t wait until our next visit. Absolutely amazing, would...

Excellent Sunday lunch, the best we've had in a long time. Prices very reasonable. Staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. The gardens and play area are beautiful. Perfect. Definitely recommend.

Great beer and a lovely outdoor space to drink in the sunshine

Excellent Sunday lunch in a lovely setting.

Afternoon walk over from Ledbury.Stopped for drinks only.Pleasant staff,no issues and not over priced.Found a new pub to walk to.

Good food and accommodating staff

Beautiful and friendly. Cang wait to go back.

Delicious food, pleasant young staff and a fine selection of ales

Went in for an evening drink. Very welcoming, the lady who served was friendly as was another lady who I think is the landlady, and they both were happy for a chat and some lighthearted humour. The atmosphere was very enjoyable and relaxing and will...

Arrived a bit late as they stopped food at 2pm that day, but nice pub, a bit out the way to find your way there
