The Hearts Of Oak in Forest of Dean

The menu is short, which means what the cook does he does well. There’s always a couple of specials, excellent value. It’s a small place, and some people do book tables, but you’ll generally get a place. The guy who runs it is SO friendly, it’s lovely eating in such a happy environment. Great cakes. Excellent drinks. Well worth a visit.

This is a really lovely family-run restaurant, in the middle of Coleford and with a free car park conveniently situated next to it. The service was excellent; really friendly, patient and caring with great attention to detail and frequent checking (from our waitress Gayana) to ensure everything was okay with us. It was a warm and comfortable environment and the food was of high quality (see photos). A most enjoyable meal complemented with tasty desserts and coffee. We'll definitely return next time we are in the area!
