A very warm welcome for us last night (3/9/24) with help for my daughter who uses a wheelchair, the lady had no issues with putting a ramp out for her. Our two dogs were also welcomed and they slept (mostly) well under the table. The food was really good quality and the rump steak was excellent, well seasoned and a great cut of meat. Friendly atmosphere with lots of dog owners enjoying themselves, The staff were excellent as well and nothing was too much trouble. Well worth a visit in my opinion

We enjoyed an excellent family dinner (for 22 of us!) to celebrate our Mum's 80th birthday. Michelle and her staff were so welcoming and efficient. We chose our meals in advance and everyone agreed the food and service were absolutely perfect; as ordered, delicious and very good value too. The chocolate dessert was exeptional! We would highly recommend this family-run pub especially if you are staying at the nearby Whitemead Forest Park.

We were staying in the area for a few days and this was within walking distance of our accommodation. We booked the bank holiday Monday, which was our wedding anniversary and it turned out to be ‘steak night’, which turned out to be great value. There was an extensive menu aside from the steak option but we both opted for that and we weren’t disappointed. Our meals were very tasty and the service was very good too. What a great find this was.

I've eaten in places before now where the staff are either abrupt, surly or just don't seem interested in their customers, and no matter how nice the food may be, it spoils my meal. The friendliness of the staff at the Fountain Inn make it a great place to dine, so along with the lovely food here, it's definitely one I'd return to if I'm in this area again.

We were on our way to our holiday and taking a slow but scenic drive to get there. The Sat Nav found the Fountain Inn so we stopped for lunch. The Fountain has many items of railway and, including some seriously large spanners, photos etc. Parkend is one end of the Dean Valley Heritage railway. We only had sandwi he's and a drink sandwiches looked expensive but in really were good value for money. The staff were friendly and polite I can't remember any designated bays for disabled parking. All in all a very pleasant experience. If we are in the area again we would revisit.

We stayed for one night, but would have happily stayed for longer. Our room was clean; the beds comfortable; the shower powerful with lots of hot water; soft, absorbent towels; and high quality toiletries. After a very good night's sleep, our pre-ordered breakfast was first-class - fresh fruit and juice, delicious hot cooked eggs, bacon, sausage, black pudding and mushrooms, toast and excellent coffee. We could have ordered a continental breakfast and that looked as good. Add to this, friendly and helpful staff.

We were made to feel like welcomed and valued guests. Great choice on the menu as well as a specials board. I had several vegetarian options and the Chickpea Tagine that i chose was delicious. I was even too full for desert ! We will definitely return, but will book in advance, to ensure a table because this is obviously a popular choice with locals and holiday makers

Had a lovely evening meal at The Fountain. Great service and tasty food. All was done in a very covid-secure yet friendly and welcoming way - well done!

We are on holiday in England from the Netherlands, happened to drive past the George Inn, and decided to eat there. Good choice, delicious food and good, friendly service. We went there for dinner for a second time. Once again delicious food, and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Great service at the minors sling. We stayed here for a night as we were in the area. We ate in the restaurant in the evening, the menu was plentiful and the food was really nice quality. Breakfast was good too. Well worth staying and a nice environment

Much too salty. Salty bread, salty beans, salty crust on chicken pie. Hake on a sea of red mush unappealing. Pie a bit too dry. No sign of a Manager. Not impressed and will not return. At least the prices were not outrageous but standard of cooking below par. Good beer.

The dinner was one of the most inventive, delicious meals we have ever eaten. Faultless, understated and fantastic. Service was unobtrusive and efficient with a very simple, good wine list
