The Jolly Forest Fryer in Forest of Dean

Polite quick clean services. Would highly recommend them

Staff very friendly, however curry sauce was just like water and kebab meat abit tough

I have been a regular here for years and the food is very good value for money but not consistent. One day it’s delicious but then the next day it can be a bit undercooked, especially the chips can be hard. More consistency and you’ll get a 5 star review.

Unfortunately the pizza was not cooked I had to cook it in the oven when it arrived ! Other than that the rest was decent However despite this we do still love the delivery driver he has always been nice

Poor service, rude staff and inedible food served. It seems like a business starting to close down to me.

I ordered food for delivery, and it didn’t turn up for an hour so I tried calling 20 minutes before closing time and a lady answered the phone saying sorry we are closed and hung up the phone! Very rude! Turns out our food got delivered next door and when the neighbours told them they didn’t order food they insisted that they definitely ordered it. They thought it was for there daughter that hasn’t come home yet and when she got home she said it wasn’t hers and it was ours, tried calling them back and no answer. Very bad customer service and even with the right address they still had it wrong! Will be calling up again tomorrow to give them my money back as my food is stone cold! So now had to re-heat it in the microwave! Poor behaviour.

Brilliant staff the place looks lovely and the food is really nice and the staff service are polite I definitely recommend this

Not very happy as when I was eating my food I found a black hair buried in the donor meat I have blonde hair so don’t think it was was mine but really put me off my food such a shame as people are nice and good is a good price

Horrible!!! Uncooked burger the chips was inedible rock hard must have been cooked yesterday the kebab was also inedible ordererd has a meal came with no chips (thank god if they was like the chips on the burger meal) the lamb had been cooked with chicken marinade the salad consisted of half a tomato never again all went into the bin So if you like lamb meat cooked in a marinade rock hard chips uncooked burgers and half a tomato has salad then this vile place would be right up your street!!!!!!!

First time ordering online with delivery. Paid for the order and then an email came through stating ‘order rejected - too busy’! Not even an option for a different delivery time. Won’t bother again.

Live the jolly fryer! I always get the red chicken kebab meat with garlic mayo. Always happy & local restaurant owned by lovely people!

Whats happend to the portion sizes? Tiny compared to a year ago but prices have increased!

Rejects order because “UNAVAILABLE”, this after going through the whole process of creating an account and submitting an order. What’s not available? Or couldn’t you be bothered to deliver?

The nicest person I have ever had the pleasure to meet and talk to

Very quick delivery, food still very hot when arrives. Driver very friendly food very nice, good size kids meals prices very reasonable

Rejected my order, docent tell you there’s no drivers until you’ve wasted you’re time picking, making an account then ordering.

Appauling. 1 Large chips fed 4 children under 5 years old. Nice Chips but Terrible portion Sizes.

Great food. Great variety of food and great service*****

Lovely food, best chips in cinderford. Great customer service

We stayed in cinderford end of September and decided to get a take away on the first night. Everything was great, taste, cost and portion size. It was cheaper than here down in Devon and the size wow biggest portions we have ever had. We ended up having the left over chips the next day for lunch. Glad we picked your take away.

I stayed in nearby Steam Mills this weekend with 5 friends and not knowing the area we struggled to find somewhere to deliver but luckily passed the Jolly Forest Fryer on our walk back from the pub. We ordered a couple of pizzas, fish and chips, and some chicken kebabs and were incredibly impressed by the cost, the portion sizes and the quality of the food. If we are ever in the area again we would make a point to visit the Jolly Forest Fryer.

Absolutely amazing! We ordered very close to closing time yet the still cooked our order for us, which from experience i know is very infuriating so I'm very grateful. Food was absolutely amazing and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely be using again!

Chicken Jalfrezi was absolutely beautiful! My partner had the garlic pizza bread and said it was the best around. Really fast delivery and food was piping hot. Will definitely order again 😋

A business is only as good as their last compaint. I have had meals from this business in the past and been happy with them. Some meals arriving a bit late orin- complete but not a problem. I had to cjhase the order I made yesterday. the 5 to 10 minute delay was 1 hour late, the chips were shrivelled and inedible. The pizza was cold and congealed. Part of the meal was so bad it was discarded.

Brilliant service. Always friendly & helpful :)

Great service, delicious food and polite staff.

Just had a takeaway delivery off these guys absolutely amazing service and quality food will definitely be ordering again

Awful!. Under cooked pie, soggy sausage and rock solid batter. All the food looked disgusting and tasted horrible. It actually tasted like it was left over from yesterday and warmed up.

Ordered a vegetable biryani, what I got was a bag of frozen veg chucked into a biryani sauce, couldn't eat it as the veg was chewy, really not what I was expecting, ended up chucking it away.

Very friendly and extremely fast service... Ended up being parked up in the lorry nearby... They delivered to me and the food was delicious. Highly recommended.

Me and my wife kara always use them great sevice and good food very friendly to

I've only ever had a good and convenient experience from ordering online despite what the other review said. Some quality food and prices are very fair, it can be a little greasy but it's a chippy so to be expected. Staff are always welcoming and polite.

Ordered through their app as thought it would be easier to order ahead and collect. Ordered a meal deal but after collecting and returning home I found it wasn’t the same as there normal menu items. As someone that loved this place and visited a lot, I called them as I was concerned others might get confused. The girl I spoke to clearly didn’t care and after trying to explain my concerns several times she hung up. My phone number was in the online order but since that day a couple of months ago no one has had the decency to ring me to apologise or explain etc. Shame as I loved this placed but will never go back.

Best kebab in the Forest. Kebab is a little spicy with more flavour than a standard one. Chips are proper.

Allways fantastic food and great service,nice family business our favourite...

Loved the fantastic service, generous portions and variety on offer at this little chip shop/curry house! (31st Aug) 2 x large cod, 2 x large chips, 2 portion scampi, 1 veg Korma, pilau rice, curry sauce, fed 6 of us for under £30. Would definitely return if we're staying nearby again!

Lovely food, generous portions and helpful staff. We were on holiday in Newnham and if you stay here I would recommend this takeaway

I was impressed with the quick and friendly service and to it off, the food was great value for money.

Fantastic food and delicious. We always buy our once a week treat from here as a family highly recommend too.

Always friendly and helpful staff. The fish and chips are huge.

never had an issue before... Till i had the curry, egg fried rice. the chicken was fatty and disgusting, the nan bread tasted old... next morning i was woken with dreadful pains and sickness! the food gave me food poisoning.. won't be eating from here again 🤮🤢😷

Terrible place. Took 3 ppl to take my order. As they couldn't understand me. I'm English. Snatched the money out my hand no thank you or please. Disgusting place.

Tasty cod, freshly battered and fried. Chips were good and not greasy. Massive portions.

Good portions of food...their roast chicken breast is extremely dry though as they cook it in the deep fat fryer! And the chicken is tasteless. Other than that, nice staff & cheap food

Friendly customer service, my preferred chippy!

Gd service lovely staff really welcoming and really gd food

Love this place always feel welcome Nice friendly staff. And the food is amazing 👌👏

Called in here as they were the only chip shop in the forest open on Sunday and my grandma had asked me to get her some for tea. The service was good, the food cooked yo order so lovely and hot and they had a good varied menu. Will definitely be back.

Staff polite and friendly. Wife and I shared a large fish and chips with mushy peas. Lovely, couldn't fault it!!

Love jolly fryer... Great value for money.. The food is fresh cooked everyday they're a clean chip shop friendly staff who work their. The only thing i dislike is the pizza's but the rest of the food are lovely

Very pleased with the food and the service.

This is first time ordering and I have to say food was great definitely recommend Thku !

Food came twenty minutes early, cooked good and still really hot!

Lovely Food Last Time but when ordered..Lady on the phone was rude and said pay the extra or don’t order ! Last time we ordered the man was lovely and friendly as was the delivery man..The Food is very nice and highly recommended...The person on the phone this time was plain rude !

Food was great! :) still nice and hot!

Poor food and poor service. Avoid.

hot and spicy I should say! Didn’t say anything about jalapeños on the pizza!

Great food - place order for some foods as you enter to reduce the wait. Can get very busy.

The driver tried to get me to leave the house and walk half a mile to get my food when he had a sat nav in his car. So by the time he called me at 7:15 the food arrived about 7:40 and was cold.

Had the chicken kebab and it was amazing, best by far and best in local area too.

lovely delivery man shame it was inedible reheated chips still feeling hungry :(

Average take away run by Sikhs so great Indian options as well as pizza,fish and chips etc

Cant ya bring somthing with!!8th,there's thetheeetrb70gdg 3GS xb

Lovely food. Nice to have such a vast choice all from one place. Would definitely use again

Despite having to walk up the road to meet the delivery man as he couldn't find the address the food was early, and tasted so good! was still warm even being outside!

Food was excellent. Very very happy with everything except I do feel £2 is very expensive for delivery based on other local options.

I have ordered numerous meals from this restaurant and every time they have provided delicious meals on time. Thank you.

Nice chips and friendly people. Had the doner meat and chips,very nice.

Absolutely vile. All went in in and reordered elsewhere

Food wasn't the best this time

we have tried a few times and it's definitely a let down, won't be ordering again even though it is the only place that delivers to us.

The food was good. Curry sauce could have been better

Delivered quick.Best chips ever.All very nice.Thank you.

As per usual very good food delivered promptly.

Ordered a large mixed kebab portion size was similar to a small ordered salad on it but was only two shreds of lettuce and there little quarter slices of cucumber also ordered large Donner meat and chips with mayo.. there was no mayo and also size was similar to a small.. very disappointed as this was my first time ordering from there

Good quality food at a good price

Best fish and chips in cinderford by far. Had fish and chips from other named chip shops in town and they don't come no where near as good as the chips 🍟 from the good ol jolly forest fryer.

Good freshly cooked chips. Decent value. Will deliver with "JUST eat"

Outstanding food and prompt delivery

Simply great food, great quick service and friendly people. Thank you

Always quick delivery.. prices are good... food is good and always hot

Food hot and very good delivered early Will definitely order again

Always love this food, thanks again for it.

Jacket potato wasn't cooked properly

Worse food ever was dry and cold the pizza was soggy the meat in the kabab was not lamb but covered in a mint sause to taste as lamb.i had to ring and complain to restaurant has the was bones in my food extremely rank

Really good quick service, just a real shame the food was bland and tasteless

Tasteless food. We ordered for 4 adults . Arrived on time but taste was not usual standards. Very watery with typical taste of cinderford chlorine water on curry's. Not quite sure how they make there curry sauce but was more like pea soup than curry sauce. Chips not very good tasted as though they had been reheated from earlier in day. pizza was like cardboard this time around again as though reheated . Usually nice food but not sure what happend this time. Think I'll ask for my 60p tip back aswell. Won't be using again I'm afraid

very good food as usual thankyou

Was a bit cold and not worth the money tbh.

While their curries are certainly very good, the rest of their food varies quite a bit on overall quality when ordered.

I love jolly fryer.great food and all staff are very friendly. Good service. Great job.

Very good food and lovely people. Highly recommended.

great good delivered in under 30 minutes*****

everything except battered sausage was over cooked, poppadoms tasted old not crunchy. I was visiting a friend and did order very disappointed.

Chips were great a bit bitty but good & pizza was nice. Took 60 mins but was good. Will order again.

Great food as always, very prompt delivery and polite friendly staff. Thank you.

unfortunately tonights food was not up to their usual standard. the donner kebab meat was very dry and crispy in places. the mixed kebab was nice though

poor curry . vegetable curry with no vegetables. nan breads average.

Lovely thank you will be ordering again. What to have next . Mmmmmm.

Food is delicious but curry quite watery. Kebabs brilliantly tasty
