The Orepool Inn & Motel in Forest of Dean

We visited on Sunday with family we’ve not seen in a long time, as you can imagine we were looking forward to it and had heard some great reviews! Sadly it was not what we were hoping….. A beautiful venue with table service, however the table service did not extend to the drinks. Food was allowed to be ordered at the table only but drinks orders were refused and we were sent to the bar. Ordering our food was most difficult as we had 1 menu between 5 of us, when asking a waitress if we could have some more she proceeded to say no because we’re saving costs on printing, she then decided we could borrow one from the neighbouring table providing it was put back before the guests arrived. We then asked if it would possible to get an extra Yorkshire pudding as not all of the roasts come with them, we were most happy to pay extra however the server told us she would ask the kitchen but can’t guarantee anything, and then said you will know when your plate arrives as to whether you can have one, followed by I’ve done too many steps today so I’m telling you I can’t guarantee it now as she clearly didn’t not want to return. Most disappointed in our visit, we will not be returning and we will of course be sharing our experience with others who will no doubt not wish to visit your establishment either.

Had a large booking for family party of 17 great selection of food, very accommodating with any extra requests we asked for Dauphinoise potatoes happy to oblige. Even given extra chips they had done. Very friendly pub restaurant and friendly staff, lovely food. Highly recommended. I went for the 20z mixed grill, other family members had steaks, salmon, chicken, Lasagne. Plus great deserts.

A birthday celebrational night out with the family. The food was excellent as was the service.my personal meal was a mixed grill and un like a lot other places who serve up waffer thin dried out cardboard the meat was thick tender and cooked to my liking.the servers were friendly and attentive without being intrusive.the orpool is local to me and I will definitely be returning.

Fantastic as always. I have alway had amazing food and service here. It was my daughters birthday and there was 11 of us. The food was so tasty and amazing as was the service. They also did the birthday cake for us and again amazing service. Everyone is so polite and nothing is to much trouble. I recommend this place 100% for every occasion. Well done team Orepool x

Came here to celebrate three birthdays with a Sunday lunch. The staff are extremely friendly and efficient. They fulfilled our requirements with balloons and decorations. A member of our group had Salmon for lunch and they said that it was the best salmon they’ve ever tasted! Everyone enjoyed their meals and had a lovely time with a lovely atmosphere. James and Becky are excellent landlord/landlady and have an awful lot to p be proud of! Definitely recommend as somewhere to go as a Sunday lunch and week night treat!

Oh dear. An anniversary lunch as our current favourite was closed and the Orepool had good local reviews. Never again!! Good bits, staff lovely, restaurant clean. Not so good no natural light, food very ordinary. There are so many better places to eat close by.

Came here for the Sunday roast, not been since before covid but its still excellent. They are always very busy here but the food always comes out consistently hot and tasty. The food is served in good time we all had 3 courses, they do a child's version of all the mains and everyone in our party was very happy with their food. Staff and friendly and helpful. They also have a nice garden with a small play area for kids

Never been to this pub before and joined two friends for lunch who had been recommended here. Easy to park, (my wife is slightly disabled) There was somebody on the door to welcome us and escort us straight to our table. Nice atmosphere, felt instantly welcome. Food came, allowing for preparation, in a decent time period. (they weren't that busy so it at busy times it might take longer) All agreed it looked good and indeed was delicious. (caviat: my meatballs were a bit 'chewy' but the tomato based sauce and penne pasta made up for it.) As for the puds.....................WOW! Bill including one round of drinks quite reasonable

Four of us visited for an evening meal. There were plenty of choices on the menu and three of us had the belly pork which was delicious while the other had the gammon which was very enjoyable. Surroundings were pleasant and staff friendly. Would definitely visit again.

Had a lovely evening meal here whilst staying in Bream for a few days. I started off with the Bloody Mary prawn cocktail, which came with a very nice salad. For the main course I had belly pork which was absolutely gorgeous. There was plenty of vegetables to go with it, but I particularly enjoyed the spring onion & bacon mashed potato. If I'm in this area again, I will certainly return to the Orepool.

Popped in for lunch whilst staying at Whitemead Forest Park. Great food. Good choices on menu. Lovely fresh vegetables. Amazing chips!

Excellent food and a varied menu.Staff were really polite and pleasant. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. Our group all enjoyed their meals and the smothered chicken proved popular.

Excellent Sunday Lunch, great value and the food was delicious. The staff are always polite, friendly and attentive nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend a visit to The Orepool! We love it.

The Orepool is always a favourite for Sunday lunch with our family and today was as usual an excellent meal. Great service. Great food. Thanks Becky & James.

Staying at a nearby cottage for my wife's birthday,popped across at 6pm not really knowing what to expect. Meal was absolutely delicious,and our waitress Lydia ? couldn't have been nicer, very helpful and all with a smile on her face 😁

My husband and I have been coming over to the Forest of Dean for over 30 years. I can't believe we've only just found this lovely place. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the food is delicious and very reasonably priced. If you're after a great quality home made steak and ale pie this is the place. The chef makes them on the premisis and they're packed with meat. Would recommend their roast dinners too! Looking forward to many more trips!

Out for a Friday night with five friends. Food was nicely presented and hot. The staff were very attentive. The ambience of the dining area was very nice and comfortable. BUT the menu given to us at the table, was nothing like the menu online, when you read the menu online and you get really excited about what you’re going to order for the evening meal and when you arrive and they present you with a mediocre pub grub type menu, it was very disappointing and frustrating. The headwaiter came to our table to apologise given that they hadn’t updated the website because they were busy, this is totally unacceptable. Haven’t worked in the business all my adult life. I know what I’m talking about. You’re selling your business through the Internet and it has to be up-to-date to encourage people to come to your establishment to eat the meal that you are advertising. What was advertised was not what was on offer For me a very disappointing evening.

Great meal, especially as we was a large group. Very attentive staff and a great range of drinks available. Nice Xmas decorations too :-)

We’ve just come back from a fantastic meal for 42 people at the orepool! The staff went above and beyond for my autistic fussy child. The meal was delicious, hot and plenty of it. Service brilliant. Definitely worth a visit. Thank you all.

Great staff, food and location. Eat here anytime. Just close to the Forrest of Dean, Coleford, Lydney.

Last minute walk in - despite having a party very accomodating finding space for us Lovely homemade food, Steak pie lovely and tender. Well priced and large portions

I have mixed thoughts about the Orepool - some good some not so good. To start with the positive all four of us thought the food was excellent and based on that alone I would go again. Unfortunately, taking the experience as a whole I would not return. No clear indication on how to check in so we eventually went to the bar and waited and waited. Service was slow but we were finally pointed in the direction of our table. We were in an alcove with a large family birthday party with several children. The children were delightful and chatty but the party was noisy and as we were obviously four friends out for an evening not the best place to sit us. We asked to be moved which they did but a bit of thought beforehand would have been helpful and avoid the situation. Waitress staff were friendly and efficient so no complaints there. Overall impression the place looked tired and good do with a revamp.

Lovely place to eat with the family. A warm welcome, nice surrounding and the portions are a good size. the food tasted amazing and the service was very good. All in all a very satisfying family lunch

We visited on Saturday in a group of 10. Having previously eaten here a few weeks before for Sunday lunch we were really looking forward to trying the other nenu. On arrival somebody in our party due to a serious illness can not manage an adults meal. We asked for a child’s menu only to be told this was not available. We then asked to see a manager. The manager explained we could not order a child’s meal as we were taken up an adults seat. Weeks before this person ate a child’s roast. Absolutely humiliated she was very upset. Had it not been for such a large group we would have walked out due to how this made us feel. They then agreed to chicken coujons and chips (not too hard to fry). The manager said we need to see it from a business point of view and that they were not being awkward. Well I’m sorry yes you were. You did not question weeks before when we ordered a child’s roast. I don’t believe I needed to book a child’s place after spending how much within a group of 10. Then finishing our drinks in the beer garden got told to leave at 22.30 as you were closing. Great food but highly let down by service and staff. I would love yourself to be in our situation eating out and see how you would feel. We spent a couple hundred pound to be treated this way. I hope nobody experiences this as it ruined our evening.

Fantastic food and great service, as a table of 9 with different dietary needs and tastes we all ate delicious main courses and desserts, easily the best dairyfree and glutenfree meal I have ever had eating out, thank you

Just back off holiday and decided to go out for lunch. Looked on TripAdvisor and had also been recommended by a friend. It didn't disappoint. Drinks were lovely, food was too and staff very friendly.

Had lunch today. A lovely meal, roast beef and a starter. Smoke helpings. I was most impressed with the service. Four busy restaurant areas served by a great team all working together. Nothing was too much trouble. Will recommend to friends. Thank you.well

We have just had Sunday lunch at The Orepool Inn and I would 100% recommend going. The food was amazing excellent value money, the staff were friendly and service was great! We will definetly be returning to sample other things on the menu.

We had a very nice meal with plenty of vegetables which had been distinctly lacking at other establishments . Steak and ale proper pie, tasty pastry and packed with meat. Too full for desserts.

The staff are so lovely, always friendly and welcoming. The food is fantastic and great value, one of the best Sunday lunches around and a delicious cheesecake. It’s a great place to eat and drink. Thank you. Definitely recommend this pub.

Traditional Sunday lunch menu, done well. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Loads of parking. Best to book as it got quite busy

Sunday lunch, vegetables cooked very well, beef was excellent but sadly let down by the roast potatoes these you would need a saw to cut through them, the Yorkshire pudding was also over cooked this was a disappointed visit.

Visited for the first time with family , very good experience in every way. Four different meals all excellent and well presented with very pleasant waiting staff .Will look forward to future visits .

Amazing roast beef lunch with plenty of beef,can't wait to come back great surface lovely garden to sit in

Amazing Sunday Roast and fantastic service. We will definitely be back. A 10 out of 10 experience. ❤

Visited The Orepool last night with my cousin and hubby. Fantastic all round. Lovely food..wonderful service and really spacious setting. Will definitely return when next in the area.

Our first visit to the Orepool recommend by my cousin. Beautifully laid out and spotlessly clean. Service was excellent and food beautifully cooked and presented. Had a lovely evening and look forward to returning.

A very last minute booking on our behalf, Staff did every think they could to accommodate 5 of us on a Friday evening for dinner. The service was very warm and welcoming, nothing to much trouble. All the food was excellent, came out piping hot,...

Absolutely excellent service , beautiful and clean the food was so delicious and well prepared and presented, staff couldn’t be more helpful. Definitely go back.

You don’t find a Ploughman’s lunch very often anymore so when I see it on the menu, it is always my first choice and wow, this was a ploughman’s and a half. There was a choice of either a ham or cheese or mixed and I opted for the cheese. Never seen so much cheese on one plate of ploughman’s, reminded me of a homemade cheese board at Xmas :-) Lovely meal, everything spot on!!Orepool is a regular haunt for my family, it has a lovely atmosphere in both restaurant and pub and always friendly staff, I can’t recommend Orepool enough

Absolutely brilliant food and plenty of it, with a good selection of veg. The Orepool is definitely a wonderful place to eat.

Note easy finding somewhere to eat at the moment but the Orepool was an oasis. Excellent value. Plenty of parking. Staff friendly and helpful.

It has been a very long time since I have been to the orepool. What a great place it has become!!Clean , welcoming, friendly professional staff and a great choice of quality food and drinks.My family and I would like to say thank you for a lovely meal

18 of us met for Sunday lunch on a fine sunny day.The three course lunch was excellent.Good value,plenty of choice and very tasty .Good sized portions, lots of fresh vegetables and a large comfortable dining room.Drinks were well priced with good choices.The staff were friendly and looked after us well.The beer garden was perfect for the young children.All in all a great day out .We shall definitely be back.

You will need to drive here but it is well worth it. I had the steak and ale pie which was crammed full of meat and tasted superb. Even though I was feeling quite full I managed to have a dessert which again was up to the same excellent standard as the main.

We have been here lots of times and not posted a review before, visited today as a group of four adults and all had Roast Beef etc it really is the best roast meal I have had, the beef so tender and the vegetables cooked just right.Staff friendly and good service, will definitely come again.

We visited here a couple of times as staying in area, fantastic food, good portions, even catered to our grandaughter who hates kids menu options they made a kids meal with mash instead of chips and created her a meal from 2 sides, went above and beyond to make sure she was happy too. Staff are amazing, polite and proficient, the pub is welcoming with great facilities for kids outside....highly recommended......book especially in late afternoon/ teatime as busy

Booked a table here for lunch, via a phone call the evening before.Upon arrival we were greeted immediately and directed to our table inside. As the weather was glorious, I asked if it was OK for us to sit in the rather lovely garden instead. This was no problem at all.Drinks arrived swiftly, as did our rather delicious Ploughmans lunches. Served with thick cut, home cooked ham, a generous slab of cheddar, and really tasty homemade piccalilli and chutney.The staff were really friendly, service with a smile throughoutAll in all, I can't recommend this place highly enough for a lunch stop.

Today i came with my sister and niece for lunch and as i am a senior citizen i took advange of the over 65s speacil menu and i thoughly enjoyed the meal i had also ny sister and niece also enjoyed their meals as well and the service was excellent as well

Great food with friendly and welcoming staff. I would not hesitate in eating here again. I have enjoyed every meal taken at the Orepool Inn over a period of two years.

A quick lunch was called for and, having chosen to avoid the Bank Holiday scrum, we chose a sunny Tuesday to visit the Orepool, following a recommendation.We had not booked but assumed, on arrival, that with 2/3 of the garden tables available and no reserved signs, there'd be no problem placing ourselves. An quick enquiry suggested that it might not be possible and they would 'see what we can do.' The deflation only lasted for 5 minutes and we we told that we could stay!From this point service happily became less tense and we enjoyed a pleasant meal. The Cider and Mushroom chicken was very well flavoured with nicely cooked vegetable accompaniments. The Ham Ploughman's was also good with a nice range of pickles to go with good, thick slices of gammon style ham.Worth a visit!

From the road the Orepool Inn at Sling looks rather disappointing, but this was the only low point in an otherwise excellent evening.Inside we were greeted warmly and although the spacious interior looked safe and inviting we were keen to sit outside, although it was a little cool!The staff were all extremely attentive and seemed to share in our relief at being back out again, after the long lock-down.The menu is good pub grub with a wide range of traditional dishes and an excellent gin and tonic!To start we chose some garlic mushrooms served on a toasted bread and whilst this was a little predictable the main course was amazing. We both both went for the homemade steak and ale pie. This was a large, beautifully prepared pie with generous filling and a superb crust. Lashings of gravy, chunky chips and vegetables complemented the pie. A real treat.We would thoroughly recommend this place to you. There is a large garden for the kids to play too, although the swing could do with some WD40, it was lovely to see children enjoying the setting too.

Really friendly and helpful staff. They amended our booking, as we were late.Excellent vegan options, I had the vegan burger (which comes with nice chips), but they even did a yummy vegan dessert - sticky toffee pudding with vegan whipped cream.Good prices, the table was covered, and there was even a heater outdoors.The garden is spacious, and the indoor area (as much as I could see from briefly using toilets) seemed very nice, too.Very clean toilets, with nice soap and also hadncream.It was a great way to end a day of intense exercise, and everyone was really friendly and nice.

Had lunch in the beer garden today on a trip to England from Wales!!! Excellent COVID distancing super friendly staff and superb food. What a great place and weather was perfect.

We have been here three times now for sunday lunch and highly recommend.We can't fault anything feel extremely safe,Food fantastic and staff are really helpful and friendly. They are very attentive and nothing is to much trouble.Thanks for a bit of normality in these strange times.

Stopped by after a cycle and had the most incredible Sunday lunch. Between us we had most items from the menu. It was better than I would cook at home! It was fast, fresh and absolutely delicious. We were very happy. All staff were attentive, friendly and efficient.

Great friendly service even though they were very busy. It was so nice to find somewhere that had a variety of gluten-free options!

Good service. Good Sunday lunch at a very reasonable price.we shall most certainly eat here again friendly efficient service a nice casual atmosphere and spotlessly clean

Excellent Sunday lunch and so much of it I had beef and was beautifully cooked , plenty of veg , cooked to perfection ( hate soggy veg) such good value too , nice friendly atmosphere and lovely staff .. Becky and James run a fantastic pub will definitely be going again ...

Visited here for lunch whilst staying near by , was a busy lunch service and table service was very good, did not wait long at all for the food all of which we enjoyed very much, slightly more wobble to the panna cota would be nice !

4 adults ate here just yesterday. We had a prawn cocktail and whitebait to start which was really delicious. Mains consisted of 2Mixed grills (sausage, steak, pork, lamb),1 Gammon (egg & pineapple) and 1 Rump steak. All steaks served with onion rings, tomato, mushroom, choice of potato’s, salad. There were 2 pints of beer, 3 cokes and 1 soda water and it came to £95. Excellent value and really lovely food - a pub doing great pub food. Not a pub trying to be a fancy restaurant. Service was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble and there was a nice gap between starter and main. Wasn’t rushed and we were there 2 hours. All staff were wearing face masks, hand sanitiser and track and trace in operation. Can’t fault this and would definitely return!

We visited the Orepool on a Friday evening .. the service and quality of the food was exceptional . Lovely setting and very Covid trained .. fabulously clean in the restaurant, bar and facilities. We will definitely be returning when we come back next year ... highly recommended !!! Many thanks

Stripped down large pub with friendly staff. Busy but service good. Prices v reasonable. We took advantage of the 2 steaks and puddings for £28 offer. 2 decent rib eye steaks well cooked with trimmings followed by marmalade bread and butter pudding. We also had 2 baileys coffees and a bottle of red for less than £65. Cannot be faulted at that price

First time back at The Orepool since March lockdown and it's like we've never been away, excellent food, great service from friendly helpful staff. Well done Becky, James & your staff.

On both occasions the food and service were excellent even though they were very busy, we will be there again very soon.

We enjoyed a lovely evening meal at the orepool. The food was gorgeous, all fresh and home made. The staff were polite, friendly and very helpful especially with our two children. A very warm welcome from all staff but especially so from the waiting staff who took great care to ensure we had everything that we needed, nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be visiting again.

Booked a Sunday Lunch with friends on 16th Aug had a fantastic lunch as always. Staff were all very helpful and friendly, cant wait for our next visit.

On arrival there was no clear signage as to which door to use to enter the restaurant. The staff were very unwelcoming and not at all friendly. When we were seated there was only 2 other couples in the restaurant we ordered our food soon after we arrived but had a long wait until we got our food. We felt the staff were not at all interested in us we were asked if our food was OK but it was an after thought as the waitress walked pass us then turned round to ask

Myself my two little ones aged 6 and 4 enjoyed a fantastic pub lunch here last week. Whilst sitting outside enjoying the sunshine we were able to enjoy our lunch whilst being able to social distance with other diners. Menu has plenty of choice depending on appetite and taste and we had no problems deciding what we would like, food came quickly and the waitresses were polite and helpful checking that we were happy with our meal and asking if children would like any ketchup with there lunch. Overall a lovely relaxed afternoon in a lovely family run pub. :)

Extremely average. We had the Sunday roast and it really wasn’t the best. The service was very slow and the waiting staff are clearly without much experience or training. If you can’t get in anywhere else, give it a go. If not, drive on by where you’ll find food of a much higher standard.

Great food, lovely staff. COVID compliant and staff wearing shields. Food is consistently good here and there is a lovely garden with lots of space

Brilliant stay at this lovely family run Motel and pub. Becky and James are very welcoming hosts. All the social distancing protocols were observed and hygiene was scrupulously followed. We felt very safe here in the restaurant and our room. Food excellent as always.

Had a lovely meal here with the wife and kids on the first night of our short break to the area. The food was amazing and very good value. The place is well kept and nice. Good atmosphere despite the obvious constraints imposed due to corona virus

Excellent Sunday Lunch Delivered and up to there usual standard Roast beef and all the vegetables Yorkshire pudding and gravy , plus a pudding, I will be keeping that for tonight

We haven’t been for a while, but as per normal the Sunday lunch was fantastic, great value for money. The staff very friendly and helpful plus the locals give the pub a good atmosphere. We will back more often. Highly recommended

Time i gave a review after eating here about 6 times in as many months.Food as always spot on and presented well.Service always very good and with a smile.well stocked bar and not over priced,Top marks Orepool keep it up.

Our walking for health walking group had our yearly lunch party here today and iit was excellent. Good service excellent food and more than enough .. I shall put my feet up this afternoon ans sleep it off... Thank you to all the staff.

We had no trouble booking a large group for an early evening meal. When we left people were being turned away, so it’s better to book and book early if you can.The food was lovely, everyone in our group enjoyed their meal and had no complaints just compliments. The deserts were also delicious.

Stayed in the Forest of Dean for 2 x nights over Valentine’s day and booked the Orepool after some internet research.Slightly worrying start to the evening when we arrived as they had our booking written down but hadn’t reserved us a table. Quickly resolved but then weren’t given menus once allocated the table unlike the couple who were served ahead of us.Found our table and someone came pretty quickly to take our food order but it took 3 x attempts to obtain the wine list.Starters came and were delicious as were the our main courses.By the time we’d finished the restaurant had quiet ended down a bit and the staff appeared less rushed.The food was great and overall we were pleased we’d gone there and we enjoyed our meal.

13 family enjoyed a 2 course Sunday lunch today, the weather was atrocious but the warm welcome and beautifully cooked food more than made up for that. Thankyou James, Becky and staff.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at The Orepool. The service at the bar and in the restaurant was thoughtful and pleasant, the menu had a good range of dishes catering for all tastes and all the freshly prepared food was most enjoyable with ample portions. Everything was reasonably priced as well.The management of The Orepool deserve to be be proud of what they achieve.
