The Globe Inn in Forest of Dean

Such a welcoming visit into a proper pub. Locals, workers finishing after a shift and tourists like us staying at Forest Holidays. The footpath network is extensive and worth printing a map and not just relying on your phone but this is linked to Forest Holidays by a reasonably well lit footpath and has two local stores that don’t show up on Google maps on the way. We picked this pub based on reviews and the footpath as we have two kids and a dog. Staff were really welcoming and helpful, kid friendly and definitely dog friendly. As a result of the good food, good service and choice of seating options we opted for a return visit instead of trying the Dog and Muffler or the New Inn. If we make it out another night to one of those I will write a review accordingly.

Amazing local pub Spotted this pub when we was walking around the local area whilst on holiday at forest Holidays just down the road. Great ales, good food was what it said on the outside so we thought why not give it a try and it did not let us down. Atmosphere 10/10, the locals were all welcoming and the bar staff friendly which u don't always get with local pubs. Ale was 10/10 with doombar on tap Food was 10/10 the gammon was amazing and my other half had the homemade beef chilli with rice n chips not bad for £26 for both It was so good we went back the next day to try out their roasts which I wouldn't believe they could have beaten the quality of food the day before but they did and some more Great local pub with loads on too a band, sport and quizzes I can definitely see why it's so popular Keep it up guys

Having done over 24000 steps a pint was in order, sadly, with it being a Monday most pubs were closed. Then we came upon this gem! Friendly staff, service great, food homely. We left stuffed and content. Couldn’t fault!

Warm welcoming pub, excellent beer and food. The vegetarian lasagna was delicious and homemade, my husband had faggots and said they were very tasty and meaty! A good pub with really lovely staff ❤️

Family friendly, staff are lovely, can’t fault the place for quality and food. Tamara has brought the pub into 2024 and is now attracting more people.

Staff are always welcoming. Food is excellent,well cooked .plenty of it and very reasonably priced . Nothing is too much trouble .

Cracking village pub with very friendly characters, lovely pint of Butty Bach, the food did look good..to answer past criticism, the toilet was spotless and smelled clean, it's an old pub so full of character....it's a pity Wales lost, great stop if you're at Bracelands.

Great selection for food. Huge portions and very tasty. Small carpark in a village setting. The staff were very friendly. The locals treat you as friends. Recommended.

We booked for the Sunday lunch on 28th Jan2024.Please try this pub it was great.Very friendly staff and locals.The food was first class and the Chef catered for our family member who is gluten free.He also spoke to us on the phone to check the special dietary needs.A fabulous experience.Many thanks.

We were staying locally with a friend and the home made pies were recommended to us and now we know why ! Loads of tender beef in a brilliant gravy, a crisp pie crust and Roasted carrots and parsnips. Actually one of the best pies I have ever had, anywhere! Served with a smile and a good choice of beer

Drinks evey day and a lovely meal chips fantastic Vegan food yummy. And a free drink on Christmas day hope to see you in the new year

Our son turned 18 on the Saturday ‘23 rd’ my husband booked a secret family meal for his birthday as we were staying in pods near by. The lady rang us back with in 5 minutes of booking and asked us would we like the room dressed with banners and balloons .. Amazing ! We turned up and they decorated our eating area fantastic ! Free!! The meals were delicious and they were very friendly and would go above and beyond for us .. highly recommend by us xx

Cracking local! It's a proper locals local so no airs and graces but the locals were fab and the staff super friendly. If you don't mind a proper local and you like to chat then this is cool . Everyone made me feel welcome for a well earned pint!

Our favourite quiz night! Marcus has taken the time to get to know the regular quizzers. He is friendly and approachable, making the quizzes fun. The whole team at the globe are friendly and fun, the drinks are a good variety and a good price! We’ll be back for the next quiz!

Best pub in forest. Great food, great staff and quiz master Marcus is fab. From regular quizzers!, Quizzards of OZ.

Lovely pub . In general great . However I found the pub quiz compair rather lecherous towards women . He needs dealing with . Rest of staff are amazing. .

Good selection of beers and dog friendly. Staff were very friendly too. We only stopped for a quick pint but hope to be back before we go home.

Visited this pub on our last evening and it’s a good local pub where we were made to to feel welcome with good value pub grub.

We were welcomed both times we went there (we were staying at Bracelands campsite) The second time we had lunch which was lovely and great value for money. Super dog friendly, we would highly recommend 👍

Friendly staff but food not good!! Child’s sausage was not cooked through, jacket potatoes warm rather than hot and mash tasted days old.

We were staying in the nearby Forest Holiday site, as I had recently lost my husband, I wanted all the family including grandchildren to join me on Christmas Eve and had asked the pub in advance if they could do sandwiches for all, this included dairy free ones too, and they didn't disappoint, the family were very impressed. I had also arranged to collect cold Christmas lunch on the big day, so I could take back to our cabin and reheat, it was a lovely dinner with all the usual trimmings. I would highly recommend this pub to anyone visiting the area, and I wouldn't hesitate visiting the pub again. Well done Tamara and her team, I wasn't looking forward to the big day, but it went better than I could have imagined. Sonia

visited for 3 evening meals while staying in the area. The food was of good quality, freshly cooked and very reasonably priced. Would have liked to try the puddings but too full after main course.Staff extremely welcoming and friendly as were the locals. Our German Shepherd was allowed in the bar. Would recommend The Globe and will definitely return if/when we are in the Forest of Dean again.

We was recommended here , from someone in the town . After asking for somewhere to eat . We wasn’t disappointed, it’s a locals pub with a good atmosphere, friendly staff , and clean . My OH had faggots , I chose the ham, eggs...

We visited of a very hot July evening whilst staying in the Forest of Dean. The bar was busy and noisy, but we were on our own in an adjacent dining room. The food was okay and very reasonably priced, but the atmosphere wasn't great with the noise and often swearing from those drinking at the bar and being on our own.

Second time we've been for a Sunday lunch and we love it! Good quality food for a great price. Lovely friendly staff.

Home made food was delicious vegetarian options available Prompt service Local ambience friendly Great value for money

Staying at the forestry lodges, it’s a ten minute walk; staff and regulars very friendly with a good array of well kept beers, didn’t eat here - but the smells from the kitchen and the plates of food looked awesome.. great traditional pub, pool table...

Brilliant Pub, the food is really good. The atmosphere is really welcoming and comfortable. Has pool, juke box, darts, everything you could want. Staff are really friendly. Tamara is doing a fab job as land lady! Great local pub!

We had the all day breakfast. It was delicious with very tasty ingredients. Great value. The staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming.

Proper pub. Good ale. Nice to have a pool table plus darts board. Need more pubs like this in London. Keep independent pubs going guys.

We were staying on the nearby campsite and called in whilst waiting for Chinese from across the road, the friendly bar staff said we could eat the Chinese in the food and even offered us knives and forks. We chatted with friendly locals and had...

Came in over our time at forest holidays and loved it! Cheers to Tamara who was absolutely ace and the regulars in there for making us feel welcome. Cheers you lot!

This was a last minute booking and the restaurant space was quite small. The food and drink was very reasonable priced and we all left feeling very satisfied. The only negative was that due to high demand quite a few items on the menu were...

Recently visited the Forest Dean, found the Globe pub very friendly and welcoming, lovely food, reasonably priced. Would definitely visit again.

Enjoyed a great meal at the Globe Inn, really friendly staff with excellent food. Often have live music events so we will have to go back!

We have been visiting The Globe for many years now. The food remains honest and wholesome and the team attentive. A must try !

Still doing good food. You need to order by phone and pay by credit card and then collect. Still doing a great Sunday lunch. They offer a small selection of pub grub cooked to order. Excellent value for money.

We had such a great time at the Globe for Sunday lunch! The food was delicious, the building and garden fantastic and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming/ accommodating. Good Covid risk management, too.

Me and my partner visited the globe a couple weeks ago whilst visiting family in the beautiful Forest of Dean, gosh what a beautiful place! We visited the globe numerous times on our visit and found the locals and staff very friendly. We were served by a lady called Jo who was very friendly and polite! She made us feel very welcomed and was easy to talk to! Only thing a don’t like is the green paint in the bar, and what seemed to be German robot funk being played on the jukebox. Not my cup of tea.

Just a local pub, nothing special. Good price for beer. We only had a drink and sat at the front of pub. The sunset was lovely. Couldn’t see it all but the sky was amazing.

We received a very friendly welcome. Lovely Roast dinner, it was such a lovely meal and amazing value for money. Highly recommended

During this pandemic, cooking at home became a chore so I decided to see if any of my local restaurants were still open offering this service. Luckily, I found that The Globe Inn, Berry Hill did. I rang them around 11:40am and immediately got a response they could deliver a lunch of my choosing at around 14:00. I placed my order for a Roast Beef lunch and Apple Crumble with custard this with delivery came to £10. I gave them my address and luckily a order was going by me in 10 minutes they asked if that suited me better. I agreed and 20 minutes later my hot food arrived. The food was well packed and plentiful, after a quick microwave I sat down and enjoyed my lunch with a glass of wine. The food was excellent, quality home cooked food, well done to all staff at the Globe Inn for this wonderful service during uncertain times, I'm glad, that I could support a local business and ensure they remain open. A great local service which provided quality produce -5 stars.

We knew that takeaway was an option due to coronavirus, but that was before the closure of all pubs. So phoned on Saturday to try and order a Sunday lunch. No problem. We were asked what time we wanted. No problem. Delivery offered, but refused as collection is easy. Arrived on time, food was ready and waiting collection from kitchen door. Paid by card - no problem. Food on proper plates. Gravy in microwavable containers. Homemade apple crumble in one container, custard in another. On getting home put plates in oven for 5 minutes ( they were covered with both foil and cling film). Gravies microwaved for 1 minute.Generous portion of pork for me, nut roast for my wife. All vegetables fresh and cooked just right. Owner and staff (Chris, Steve and Jamie) all as helpful as possible. Food very good. Would recommend.

We popped in here for a drink and to see what it was like as we were looking for places we might eat in during our visit to the Forest of Dean.It seemed very popular as it was busy but it was not our kind of place.The place is in serious need of refurbishment both outside and inside.The car park was strewn with cigarette ends, rubbish and an old mattress.The inside just looked tired and uninviting.

The bar staff are friendly. The pub is clean but there’s something missing. Maybe not as warm and welcoming.

Found a while ago So we tryed it as a family sunday dinner,And was over the moon the best meal ive had in a while,Good choice of meats 5 star presentation all cooked by a Chef who loves what he does,loverly staff and owner,This is a INN not to be passed,Highly recomend, I love the place a real traditional Pub.The meek-family

dreadful the potatoes were hard, meat under cooked and service dreadful. Try cracking a smile. Could see into the kitchen and though looked fairly clean the floor was not in a good state

We have visited this pub for the last 3 years whilst staying locally for a week, we eat her each night as the food is fantastic, especially the chicken curry! The atmosphere is fantastic and it really is a pub which is at the heart of the community. Everyone is welcomed, not only by the staff but the locals also. To top it off, it is very dog friendly! We will continue to visit each year.

Stopped here for lunch. I'd seen Tripadvisor reviewer comments about gluten free home cooking, so I was expecting something a bit more gastro. That's not The Globe at all - it's a good honest pub doing tasty, simple food at a great price. The staff are friendly, and the place seems to be a happy place to work and socialise.

Very close to the Forest holiday cabins, this pub offers a wide range of good food. Two members of our party of eight were able to choose excellent home made gluten free food. We were given a great welcome on arriving without booking. It has a good community ambience. The prices were very reasonable and the meals of very good quality.

Been many times to the Globe, lovely food especially the garlic breaded mushrooms and Sunday dinner. Staff are so lovely and the owner always makes time to say hello. It was always a great place that we could take our two collies with us and the staff would always make a fuss of them. Always feel welcomed and staff do anything to help, highly recommend!

Really good atmosphere. Enjoyed a great early evening in here. The drinks were very good, plenty of choice and reasonably priced. A locals pub but they were all chatty, and great bar staff. Dog friendly and we had our 7 month old Labradoodle with us so we were never short of company. Returned night after for a meal. Again with our dog. Not bad choice from menu, food decent for the price which was very budget friendly. Not a place to take the boss out to but we loved it.

Was directed here from the local Forest Holidays site for dinner one evening.

We were staying in the Forest of Dean lodges for a big birthday celebration. We found this pub on tripadvisor. We ordered starters, mains and desserts. Amazing value for money. The potion sizes were very generous £8 for a mains special you can’t go wrong.

What an absolute lovely day we had there. Food was amazing for price. Staff was lovely locals was great and joined in our fun. I would definitely return if I'm up that way 😁

Only popped in for a pint saw the menu and had a burger has to be the best one I have ever had and the staff are very helpful and friendly freinds that have been there have told me that the other food on the menu is first class if you are in the area its a must

We were a party of eight and booked sunday late must say on booked on the morning and they just got us in so I would recommend being a little more organised. The food was really nice 1 course £7.50, two course £10.00 and three courses £12.50. We had a mix of two and three courses and couln't fault the food, drinks are reasonable and staff really friendly. Dog friendly and there is a pool table in the bar area.

Booked here for 10of us for Sunday Lunch.The BEST lunch we've had for ages . Lovely fresh veg,,choice of meats all served piping hot. And the price,,,,,,an amazing £10 for two courses.

Very nice staff great pub and restaurant with tastefully decorated and clean rooms. my only criticism was no internet in my room. All in all a great stay and i will be back

I was working in the area and needed some lunch! Quick search on trip adviser and this pub popped up with what seemed to be very good reviews. Parked up, walked in and was surprised at how busy it was for a Monday lunchtime. I sat in the bar area in front of the tv and the atmosphere was good. Locals were friendly and chatting amongst themselves, bar staff were friendly and helpful also. I ordered the faggots, mash, peas and gravy and for £5 it was great value for money. The menu seemed to have a good selection but I couldn’t resist my choice.

This is a little gem. They sell good beer and although didn't get chance to try it a highly recommended menu which was a very reasonable price. Would definitely go back

Stopped here on the offchance. Other reviews seemed ok. Basic pub grub washed down with a pint of local ale. Exceptionally good value meals. Can't fault it on price. Staff and locals friendly.

Language from the locals was terrible. The food uneatable, dirty glasses and flat beer.

This place was brilliant, only 500m from Forest of Dean holidays. Cheap and cheerful with exceptional food, we were that impressed we went every night for 4 days and never had a bad meal or experience. Staff were so friendly and lovely xx thanks guys

On a weeks stay we found this gem early in the week offering great food at value for money prices. With a good range of beers and drinks.

This pub had been recommended by the staff at Bracelands Camping Site. We decided to check it out with a coffee first. Glad we did. We sat at a table (of which there a very few) overlooking the kitchen, which had music on -v- the juke box in the main bar. Nice enough staff but too much colourful language for our liking on this particular occasion. The mural on the outside is great! Maybe that could be reflected on the inside.

We are visiting the area from Leicestershire and stopped in on a whim for a spot of lunch. I had liver and bacon with mash and peas and it was delish. My wife had vegetable lasagna chips and salad and said it was very tasty. The portion size is perfect not at all small but not so big your overfaced. This also leaves room for pudding and at just £3 a pop it's hard to say no. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the locals make you feel welcome. At £9 for a main and a pudding like the title say I just can't fault it. Lovely.

I often visit with my young child, and I am so disappointed for all at the globe reading one of the quite frankly nasty reviews! The globe is amazing! Excellent value! Great food! Fantastic staff! Keep doing what you do! Haters gonna hate! No pleasing some people!!

We visited The Globe on a steak night, the steaks were cooked exactly to our liking, one vegetarian lasagne was excellent and the sweets were also excellent, we couldn't fault anything brilliant value The chef Steve was very pleasant and accommodating, also Tash from behind the bar was a delight as always.

Just an ordinary pub, a bit tatty, a bit cramped but a friendly welcome and great value food. Apparently they have just put up their menu prices so mains are now £5 AND £6 but starters and desserts still a ridiculous £2.50.

I cannot rave about this place enough! Meals are excellent quality for the price.

NOT TO BE MISTAKEN WITH ANOTHER GLOBE INN!

Had a lasagne there this afternoon. Clearly microwaved, which is disappointing, as it doesn't take much to simply put it in the oven as opposed to microwaving. I wouldn't have minded the longer wait, and my lasagne was pretty much destroyed. My girlfriend's vegetarian was fine, though, as obviously vegetables dont harden like mince does when microwaved.

I’ve eaten at the Globe several times on weekday evenings and have found the pub to provide very good value. The main meals are £5 and puddings £2.50, good portions, the staff are always friendly. It is not cordon blue cuisine, hut nor would I expect it to be, but the vegetarian curry with half and half is tasty and the cheesecake is always good! I like the friendly dog who lives there, as well.

Good, home made pub grub . Well priced , good portions , plenty of selection . A nice warm welcome , plenty of ales and ciders on tap ... highly recommended

Potatoes hard and the meat is obviously microwaved, not a good place to have a Sunday dinner, the serviced was terrible and not at all friendly. We had a dog next to us eating off a plate

Booked at last minute for Sunday lunch, excellent food and large portion sizes. Very reasonable prices. Good customer service, will definitely visit again.

We were staying at a campsite & had just done what felt like a marathon walk through the woods & up to Symonds Yat.

After a day canoeing we dropped in to the globe for a meal .The staff are friendly and made us feel welcome including our pet lab .

sat outside for a refreshing pint of beer at front of pub we didnt have a meal but i was informed by other customers that they do very nice faggots

We booked here to have sunday lunch and its a typical village pub, locals friendly and the food was good, roasties homemade + Yorkshire puddings homemade and the beer was priced okay.. dart board & pool table pretty good went for lunch at 2pm and stayed until 8pm :)

The best chilli con carne that I’ve ever tasted. Fast, friendly service and excellent value for money. My family of 12 plus 2 dogs will definitely return when we next visit Forest holidays. Thank you.

V much a locals pub but we were shown to our table which was separate from the main pub. There were 4 of us plus 2 dogs & we were all made welcome. Value for money was incredible and the food was good pub grub. The puddings went down particularly well. Wld def come here again. Service was good too.

Stopped off here to have lunch not knowing what to expect, saw the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence on the door and thought it must be half decent and it was. Lovely friendly welcome from the barman who as well as taking our food and drinks order managed to also serve a couple of locals who needed their glasses refilling (quite impressive) They don't normally do sandwiches but were happy to accommodate two of us. They even accommodated my eldest granddaughter's strange request for gravy on her mashed potato even though she was having fish fingers with it! All food was tasty and well cooked and extremely reasonably priced. This is a real local's local in a small town and possibly not to everyone;'s taste but we were glad we decided to pull in and try it, we were not disappointed rather pleasantly surprised. Thank you to everyone at The Globe Inn

Looking for somewhere to eat. Surprisingly pleased with result great basic pub food. Very well priced. Helpful staff.

We popped in here whilst travelling through Coleford. We were looking for somewhere to drink/eat and on the basis of previous Trip Advisor reviews decided to stop off. After looking around for a table and deciding it wasn't really somewhere we would want to eat, we decided to only have one drink and a packet of crisps (a safe option) and got away pretty sharpish after that. We didn't get a particularly warm welcome at the bar either, so this really made our mind up not to stay too long.

Had a really good Sunday lunch today. Friendly staff, friendly locals and great food. Astonishing value. Five of us had lunch.. admittedly we had non alcoholic drinks and only three had puds but under fifty quid. I can recommend the beef, but these having chicken were also impressed.

Been here about a dozen or so times now, can't fault any of the meals we have had. The Sunday lunch is exceptional in quality and price. Friendly staff who can't do enough for you. Made to feel welcome any time.

11 of us went for a meal here on Mother's Day evening and it was great.

Absolutely fabulous pub. Staff and locals so friendly had a great time with everybody! Dog friendly too! Food absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced! Loved it so much went several times during our stay in the Forest of Dean.. only disappointment is it’s not closer to were we live!

WE dropped in for a midweek lunch and the Ham, egg and chips are still as good as the last time we were here. We also had a Sunday lunch the following weekend and Chris and staff maintained their good service , great food and amazing value, well done all.

A great pub, super staff that are always very friendly. The food , pub grub, is amazingly well priced & very good, fresh & tasty Guest ales add an interesting note to “having a beer”

We’ve just been for lunch at the Globe. We took our Grandson as it is half term. Good food, and very good value. The Ham Egg and Chips were good. The Faggots and mash were particularly good. Grandson was very nice impressed with the chocolate...

Roast dinner was a disappointment. Very salty gravy that we couldn’t actually stomach. The nut roast was half burnt and the remaining portion tasted of mush. Oh and the white hair in it didn’t help either. Not impressed. Sorry Trip Advisor but you’ve let me...

Dropped in for lunch after a friend recommended the food here, after passing by many times in the past we...

Difficult to believe it's 12 months from last Christmas dinner at the Globe. As ever food, company, staff and price...

2nd visit to this little pub for an evening meal with friends, as usual the menu was small but gave...

No gastropub, but for simple well cooked meals, good friendly service and good beer I couldn't fault it.

Went to forest holidays for our honeymoon and my husband and I were recommended to come here by a staff...

Went they twice and the same level of service, friendly and most certainly went out of there way to suit...
