the village inn in Forest of Dean - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Another amazing Sunday lunch today at the Village Inn! The food never disappoints, staff are lovely and service excellent. It was very busy today (which is good to see) so I would recommend booking in advance. If you want quality ingredients, cooked to perfection served piping hot The Village Inn is place for you (reasonably priced too)

We hired a function room in The Village Inn for around 30 people with buffet food. The pub staff did a great job offering a great array of food, being incredibly flexible in the run up to the event, offering friendly attentive service, and all at excellent value for money. Strongly recommended

We went to this pub after a day out in Chepstow. We were welcomed on entrance. Food was superb and tasted great and was very reasonably. 4 of us had two drinks each and all had starters and main courses. The bill was less than £100. The young lady that served us was lovely and gave us fantastic service that was very attentive

Nice enough,but needed a deep clean.Staff were friendly but "overserved" a chap(who was not violent but a pain in the arse!

This is the third time we’ve been and each time we have loved the food not only are they huge portions but super tasty too and the quality is the best!! We’ve heard the Sunday roast is the best around too so have booked in and can’t wait to try it. Well done to the head chef Jason and his waiting team for being the best!! We can’t wait to try our roasts in two weeks 🥰

This is a fabulous local pub and the food was absolutely amazing and great value. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Amazing home cooked Sunday lunch for Fathers Day, had 3 courses, food was lovely and brought out quickly, we even got some extra veg when we asked. Great service and value for money.

Chef is superb! Slow roasted pork belly, mash, veg medley, cider and apple gravy (off specials board). He said would have paid double the price - and he is tight! Desserts awww!

19/12/2020 meal with friends. Two steaks and a bottle of wine £25 food was fresh cooked and tasty. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Restaurant was clean and cheerful. Will definitely visit again ...

Great food, lovely staff. Our server megan was lovely and attentive. Food came out in no time, my lasagne was cooked to perfection. Also had the baileys cheesecake which was exquisite and divine. Enjoyed every mouthful of my food with a lovely pint. Will definitely be back.

Really awful rude staff. Had a bowl of bleach thrown over the floor by the bar maid in a fit of temper over some false accusation of sickness. Went into speak to her she put out her hand to prevent me from speaking and told me to get out. How rude. She then failed to act when a mixed race man verbally abused me. She has further abused me on messenger, I will not set foot in this establishment until the staff have been changed. The response from my complaint was all factually incorrect information and further abuse. This woman is clearly not up to the job.

Welcomed at the door by Kier who looked after us all day. What a host!!! Great pub, would recommend!!

Really nice evening at the Village Inn, varied menu and very good food in large portions at good prices. The service was also excellent and friendly. The covid health stuff was well handled- not intrusive but carefully done.Next time we eat there we'll skip the starters to leave room for one of their puds, which looked good, but we just couldn't manage another mouthful.

Went in for a meal with my mother, it was good. Kind staff and got drinks as soon a we were seated, after we ordered took around 20 minutes for the starters to come. The starters were nice I had the halloumi fries and mum had the squid. The squid was over powered but tasty. Then the mains came out they were both very good but the beef was chewy. The deserts were both very good also.

Amazing food and fantastic staff. Made me feel so welcome with my friends and they couldn’t do enough to make sure we were happy with our night. The food was delicious especially the chilli beef starter. We will be going back. Thanks for a brilliant night

My husband is based down here for work and this was my first visit . We drove past the village in on Monday whilst out exploring the area and thought it looked nice so we’d give a shot we weren’t disappointed the service was spot on and our meals were tasty and plentiful . We will calm again on my next visit

Had a lovely lunch today with friends. Service was impeccable and swift. Food was great and large portions. Will be returning again for sure. Highly recommend

I attended a lunch at this pub with friends. My mushrooms starter was only luke warm but tasted ok. The main course roast of the day was beef. It turned out to be dry and tough as old boots. The vegetables were only passable. My desert, a crumble, was very nice and that’s why I have scored the pub 2 stars instead of one star. The meal was cheap but WAS cheap! I don’t think I would go there again. I should have sent the beef back but don’t enjoy confrontation. If they can’t get it right I find it better to vote with my feet and they were happy to walk out of there.

Stale Baguette with the pate. Microwaved beef passed off as "Roast of the Day". Ice cream "sundae" was just ice cream. What more can I say, other than dreadful. I won't be returning until this venue changes hands, which I expect won't be long.

We were holidaying in the area and The Village Inn is the nearest pub within walking distance. We took a walk down so that we could have a drink in the garden with our two children and dog. Unfortunately, we were informed upon arrival that there was no children under 14 allowed due to Covid 19. I’m all for establishments being responsible but have not heard of this rule being imposed anywhere else throughout the pandemic. We were practically the only ones in the garden and my 4 year old would not have entered the building itself. We left feeling very confused! It was a shame as we had planned to eat there the following night. We would be very interested to find out the thinking behind this but it wasn’t explained!

Excellent pub food, great service, we are always made to feel welcome, in fact it's that good, we have started eating there 2 or 3 times a week !

Cov 19 protocols first rate , well managed environment First class staff ,very well presented, good service excellent Sunday Lunch Bar service was very professional observed all Cov 19 rules regulations Felt very safe

We had a lunchtime meal with friends recently, £9 for three courses. Yes, £9. And it was excellent. Lots of choice, something for everyone. Our main course was roast beef and it was expertly cooked and very tasty, lots of tender beef and roasties with a good selection of vegetables. We could have had two courses for £7 but the puddings sounded so tempting that we succumbed to those too and didn’t regret it. The pub was nicely decorated and the ambience was good. I would definitely recommend eating there.

Whilst doing my quarterly visit to the nearby army camp my colleague and I called in and had a lovely lunch and excellent pints of Carling. All in all a great lunch and worth 5 stars only spoiled by when paying my bill I was disgusted by yet again a man at the bar belching and burping as loud as he could Absolutely disgusting Hence my 3 star rating when you really deserve 5

Food good staff friendly overall very good service no complaints enjoyed our visit prompt service a nd good beer new landlady is very amenable would recommend a visit

Food was amazing everything very tasty and hot . Service was great nothing to much trouble highly recommend .

Lovely evening out, food was top class. Bar and waiting staff were extremely helpful nothing was too much trouble. Brilliant atmosphere, will definitely be returning with the family!

Enjoyed a good Sunday lunch today. Good portions of roast meat with trimmings and well cooked vegetables served piping hot with extra gravy. Excellent service and value for money - one, two or three courses available. Pleasant environment in the dining room. Definitely worth a visit.

Wow what an amazing night. Brilliant Christmas atmosphere. Friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble,we were served promptly and efficiently and just the right amount of time between courses. The food.... Amazing. Great Christmas menu. Presentation was beautiful. The best Christmas meal out I've had in a very long time.Thank you for a great night. We will be back soon.

Had a fantasic meal here tonight. Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff. The food was amazing, and presented beautifully. 10/10 justin, top chef! Thanks to all the team for making it a really lovely evening. Will definitely be back x

Great food,great staff lovely atmosphere,couldn't ask for any better for me an my daughter thoughly enjoyed an will definitely be returning

Whilst visiting the nearby army barracks I popped in for a couple of pints and what a shock.The men and even the women around the bar were shouting and screaming at the top of their voices effing and blinding oblivious to the little kids running around SCREAMING their heads off whilst clutching glasses and bottles, an accident waiting to happen.Whilst a man at the bar proceeded to burp every few seconds as loud as he could whilst the bar staff stood by oblivious to the bad manners and obnoxious disgusting behavior.

Nice to have a pub that serves beautiful food at a reasonable price right on our door step. The landlady is very friendly and makes the atmosphere more appealing

This pub has been really welcoming and the food and service is absolutely on point, definitely recommend this pub to all, great family atmosphere, and the land lady is very helpful and polite.

Had food here on Sunday and was seated right away, drinks were served right away and then waitress came over to take our order, the wait was only about 10 minutes which you can’t complain about! Brilliant size of portions and was checked on by waitress throughout the meal, tasted fab! would highly recommend!

Quite a long wait for the meal, but lots of apologies. When the meal arrived it was just reasonable for a roast, unusual combination of vegetables, red cabbage with carrot and parsnip, was offered cauliflower cheese which didnt arrive, we asked for it and when it arrived part of the cauliflower was mouldy and the cheese sauce didnt look or taste like cheese sauce, just watery, we told the waitress who didnt show a lot of interest. The gravy was good and the meat was very tender.

Really impressed with the quality of food at the Village Inn, we wanted to try this as they are under new management and very local to us. We ordered from the caribbean menu to try something different and we were not disapointed. The food tasted amazing, and had a variety of choices on the menu. Offered English menu as well however we fancied a bit of caribbean. Very impressed with the excellent service and clean surroundings. Would definatly be visiting again. Thank you :)

Not only did we have to wait nearly an hour for the food, but when it arrived it was inedible. The jacket potato was burnt, the fish so over cooked that the batter couldn’t be eaten and the inside was dry and tasteless, and the peas were stone cold. Really disappointed that they would even think it was acceptable to serve food in that state!

Popped in to The Village Inn as a family to have tea as we have done a few times . Firstly the language from the smoking area was extremely bad ...On entering the pub the cook and landlady seemed to be arguing with a member of staff and the poor girl looked extremely upset , she ended up walking out . This young lady was , in my opinion the best bar maid that had worked here since the pub changed hands . The atmosphere was awful so we didn’t stay . This pub seems to have gone back to the old days when it was a ‘spit and sawdust ‘ pub . Such a shame as it had become a good place to take family to eat . We won’t be returning

Cannot fault roast at Village Inn Sedbury. Meats cooked to perfection, veg plentiful and cooked spot on. Gravy lush. Just wish I'd have bread to mop it up

Had an amazing meal everything was hot and served lovely. Staff all done an amazing job considering how busy it was as it was Mother’s day staff were very friendly and attentive. Well done keep up the good work as I won’t go anywhere else for my Sunday roasts x

Had a beautiful roast dinner today for mothers day best one to date. Very busy but the service was brilliant from karys our waitress, attented 2 our every need nothing was to much trouble at all Thank you Zoe and team.

Last minute decision to go out for an early mother's day meal. Having eaten here on many occasions, all be it lunch time, it was an easy decision to book here for an evening meal. The restaurant was a little busy. Food appeared to be slow on delivery. We are selves waited a good 30 minutes for our meal. No communication from staff apologising for delay. Both my son and my meal were messed up. Into my meal, realised I was missing an item from my plate, up on speaking to the waitress, she then mentioned she hadn't long found out, yet this wasn't mentioned on arrival of the food. We were offered a discount as a gesture. Many thanks. I did feel on this occasion,a special occasion was dampened slightly. I will return at a later date of an evening, to give another try. Such a shame, what normally is a nice dining experience........

only rated at 1 star as must leave a rating. Exceptionally disappointing - Just a really bad place to eat with no effort applied to the food served. Menu has many items crossed through with even items uncrossed not available (fish pie). When the mains arrived the surf and turf was lacking the prawn skewer and when asked about the reply was that the menu was changing - this was not advised when we ordered but could have easily been sorted if they had offered more scampi. The carbonara was made with burnt, fatty bacon, the hunters chicken was lacking in barbecue sauce (must have been out off season) and the Italian burger was made with mozzarella so wet it soaked the bun to the point of being inedible. Hopefully it will improve with the new menu but I am not hopeful as management don’t have a clue. We paid for drinks and the starters though they were just as poor and left.

Amazing food we all had Sunday lunch plenty of everything all full after the meal . Even though they were very busy you still got the best service .

Attended village Inn for Christmas Party Lunch. Lovely food, on piping hot plates , vegetables were plentiful and beautifully cooked . Caramac ice cream was to die for. Staff were very attendative , nothing was too much trouble. Zoe and her team were out standing.

Went for a meal yesterday evening 10/11/2018 with friends, and we all enjoyed it, I had the Ribs &Chicken; with home made fries, mushrooms, tomato, onion rings, and a side salad, all very nice, in fact to much to eat. The meal is very good value for the price you pay, this was followed by Apple Sponge & cream of which the sponge was very light and most enjoyable, would not hesitate in recommending The Village Inn for a decent and reasonably priced meal.

Visited while on holiday here. Food was frozen and heated by microwave and was tasteless. Landlady very drunk, sat eating with friends and the propping the bar up afterwards. Even the poor young lad serving us pointed out how drunk she was. Was very disappointed as other reviews for food look good so we were looking forward to visiting. Big shout out to the young guy serving our table, who was extremely polite and great at his job...hope he's appreciated for his work. Would not return ever.

Friendly staff however the food was normal pub grub - good but noting spectacular. Good prices for both drinks and food.

Called in as the village was an old haunt some 50 years ago. Large car park,seperate restaurant, but plenty of space to eat in and around the bars.Popular local and friendly, lots of beers available both Largers and draught beers. We had a few Doom Bars, it was very well kept... staff very friendly and helpful especially the landlady! Food; great menu with reasonable pricing. We both had the steak, Sirlion and Rump, each cooked as requested and very tasty... Many thanks for a fabulous lunch!

Just moved into the area and due to building work went to the village Inn for our evening meal, what a great choice.

Dropped in here today for lunch. Excellent friendly welcome and brilliant service. Wide choice of meals, including specials but we both opted for the fish pie that was absolutely delicious and my husband had the steak and stilton pie which also was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed our brief visit and would definitely recommend.

we visited the village inn on sunday to meet our friends whilst we were all on holiday. AT first things were going well, we found out that there was only a sunday lunch on the menu on a sunday, it would have been nice to have a option from the normal menu. The food we had was very nice, but one of the waitresses was quite rude, slatting a drink down and also the 1 desert that we ordered. She then went on to drop a clean knife from the kitchen on to the restaurant floor, and then instead of putting it back in the wash it went into the cutlery tray along with the other cutlery.

I used to come here around 3 years ago and the food was wonderful, then it went downhill for a bit and I am pleased to say that the quality is even better than before! You really cant go wrong on price, quality and quantity here. It has it all! You can have a two course meal during the week before 7pm for a tenner with a good choice of food or you can have a steak or chicken dinner for 2 including a bottle of wine for £20!! Thing is it's not of a cheap standard either. I am very fussy when it comes to quality and I must say, this place ticked all the boxes. The menu is very interesting with extensive choice, the chips are hand cut and cooked and the service is very friendly. I can't believe I have been missing out on this place for so long. I shall be returning for sure, especially as it is only 10 minute walk from home :-)

We had a surprise 80th birthday party yesterday at The Village Inn. As we were 40 people ranging over four generations between 1 and 80 years old we decided to have their luxury afternoon tea. Masses of good things from sandwiches, quiches and sausage rolls all the way to lovely cakes. All the family are good eaters and there was still food left. Staff were brilliant and nothing was to much trouble. Would recommend for any occasion. Catherine House

Family of nine for Sunday Roast. Absolutely delicious, well presented food. Friendly, helpful staff and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Spur of the moment, we decided to try the village inn again. Has been a while since my last visit and had changed management in that time.

We went because it came up on a search for places that do gluten free food. I can say without reservation that it is the best place we have been.

Myself and my boyfriend are staying at the NDAC and were looking for somewhere to go for dinner, this pub was local so we thought we would try it. It was absolutely wonderful! The food is so tasty, mostly homemade and you can tell, it’s delicious! The portions are big and the prices small, what’s not to love! The service and atmosphere were also fantastic! Really lovely night! Thank you!

Wow, despite the fact they were so busy, there was no compromise. The food & service were brilliant. The food was piping hot & so tasty. The waiter/esses were so accommodating. Overall - a brilliant meal & service ✅

Came based on trip advisor and wasn't disappointed. Was initially daunted as I was taking my mother out a day early for mother's Day and found the rugby was on on the telly. No problem however as there was a spacious and airy dining area...

Family meal for Mother's Day and was pleasantly surprised. Lovely starters and the main meal was wonderful. Cooked to perfection and plenty of vegetables. Well worth the visit.

Nine of us had lunch, and we were almost all pleased with our food, the only complaint being that the...

Came in here for a business lunch with colleagues, I sent mine back and another colleague had food poisoning.

First time here. Looked it up on TA and decided to give it a go. It is proper home-cooked food....

It was on a Saturday we had just seen a new client. Thought we'd have some lunch as we'd heard...

We booked a table on the Sunday for a Roast, and just as well as the Pub was very busy...

FAB U LOUS! Thank you so much always accommodating and good for the veggie xx friendly staff & helpful

Lovely food this evening , food came out very hot , big portions , homemade chips what more can you ask for ,everyone very helpful . Would recommend going

Last week following my brothers funeral I attended a wake here, I have not been here for over 30 years and still assumed it was called the Fishermans, wow how things have changed.

so how about giving the Village Inn a try?

Have just come home from a meal at the village Inn Sedbury with my walking group. Very reasonable and tasty food.Enjoyed it!

A warm welcoming family pub , with a great atmosphere and fabulous staff ! Sunday lunch is the best around! Delicious in taste and value for money !

Time I wrote another review,because things can change. My wife and I had the 2meal£20 deal, both had steak cooked exactly right. Generous vegetables and salad the Jack Rabbit wine ,that came with the meal was great. A lad next door was having a birthday so a bit noisy but an entertainer started with a great singer and people started dancing. All good fun on a Saturday night.

We went here for something to eat and we had heard there was a band playing. Good parking and restaurant was virtually empty so didn’t have to wait to get served. However, the whole evening was ruined by a group of drunk yobs. They were chanting football songs, accosting people as they left the restaurant, shouting, blocking the entrance. The pub emptied apart from a few more civilised people who were hiding away from the yobs. The landlady seemed oblivious to it all and did nothing to control this. This pub restaurant will fail if this continues to be allowed. We will never ever go there again and we suggest you do the same.

Went at lunchtime for a family meal. We had the small plate version of the meals and still plenty to eat. I had the tikka masala and was delicious. Brilliant value for money.

Attractive pub, helpful staff, good homemade food. We appreciated the smaller portions on offer (a rarity these days!).

lovely atmosphere and wonderful food x very good value for money, cant fault it . lovely week day menu good prices , under new management and family run, very attentive to customers needs, will be going to go regular .

We moved to area 3 months ago and have now found the best Sunday lunch in the area!managed to book in after 2 pm and really glad we did .as it was late in the Sunday lunch window Lamb had sold out,not surprisingly,but our party choice of beef,pork ,and chicken were all fabulous and delicious!with that unmistakable home cooked taste,(think the secrets in the gravy)fantastic value with friendly service the village inn will be our destination for SUNDAY LUNCH FROM NOW ON!

Popped in by chance after our hike. Welcome was really friendly by the barmaid and that was echoed at the table by a really bubbly and helpful young lady. The menu was quite substantial in choice and we were advised you can have chips, jacket potato or vegs Or a mix as we wished. Although the ordering took a little while it was lovely. The fish pie was full of quality ingredients, the begs fresh hot and 4 types and the chips were proper home made. The steak pie was full of lean meat, had a thick gravy and tasted great. The jacket potato was cooked spot on and we were amazed at the low price for such food. You can select little or large for many of the meals and no one seemed to complain. Can I say that the lady did say the IT system was down and she had to do orders manually - irrespective, the meal was worth the wait and the staff as nice from start to finish. A great find.

Visited here for a few drinks to celebrate our anniversary. Staff were so friendly! Beautiful garden, and very reasonably priced.Returned for food a week later. All home cooked, with fantastic offers, including one for children to eat free (with a paying adult meal) Fab idea! Especially for a busy mum of 9 in the summer holidays! I had the most amazing omelette deeelicious! Can't wait to try their steak and wine deal. #datenight!

Popped in today (9-8-17) for a bite to eat. The food was delicious with very generous portions and the waitress was lovely and very helpful. Will most definitely be back.

We popped in for a Saturday evening meal, date night with my lovely wife. We walked down and after 13 years of living literally 10 mins walk this is the first time we have gone in there. We were greeted with a smile and even the locals (we didn't know) greeted us. We got a drink at the bar, shown to a table and the young waiter was on the ball. We had a shared starter followed by a £20 meal for 2 including a bottle of wine! We weren't expecting much but the combo starter was a healthy size including wedgies, chicken, salad, onion rings, deep fried brie, mushrooms and varies sauces for £7.50. The main was a really good portion. My wife had steak and ribs (really tender and probably 10oz), mushrooms, onion rings, chips and salad. I had the mixed grill with steak, lamb and pork chops, gammon, chicken, chips and salad. Add to that a bottle of Jack Rabbit rose included in the price and £20 is extremely reasonable. How long this offer is on for I don't know but worth a visit if it's still on and dare I say, still worth a visit if it's not.Live music started at 9:00pm which sounded pretty good but we had finished so made our way out. Enjoy!!

We have visited here several times for Sunday lunch and it has always lived up to expectations. There is a good choice of meats and always a fish and a vegetarian dish. They serve a small main course if wanted and always with a smile. It is better to book as it is a popular venue.

Arrived at 17:00 to be told that the kitchen did not open till 18:00; which was not, in itself, an issue. Bought a drink and then read the menu. The staff were polite although the locals were unwelcoming and it appeared that visitors are an event for discussion. Having made my selection, at 18:00 went into the restaurant; which is quite pleasant, open plan area, not a place for an intimate meal but clean and presentable. I ordered immediately, sat back and waited, and waited and waited. 45 minutes later my food arrived, a mixed grill. Nothing out of the ordinary or particularly culinarily challenging: rump steak, gammon, lamb, Pork, sausage and chips but the only thing that was hot was the sausage. The rest was tepid, boarding on stone cold. I took one mouthful and took it back from whence it came. I was offered a second attempt but as it had taken 45 minutes for the first I declined paid for my drink and left... never to disturb the blissful peace of this hostelry again. The staff were polite, apologetic but ultimately responsible for awful service.

We have eaten sunday lunch here a few times and it is brilliant value for money and very nice. Also we held a charity event here on the weekend. The staff were very helpful and the management were generous and assisted us in ensuring our day went smoothly. Highly recommend the Village inn. If it is a bite to eat, a nice drink or even a social or family event, the Village inn is the place.

Best meal we had in ages. Very good prices. Pleasant location and friendly staff. Meat was very tender and salad fresh. We will becoming back soon

We had a delicious Sunday lunch there - two courses (soup+main), both of them were amazing! Really friendly staff, quick service and reasonable prices. We will definitely be back! :)

We visited this pub on a pre-booked night out & meal for 27 people. We thought that the food was average, not good & the service was slow. May be just an off night but I would not visit again.

This pub was always "The Fishermans Arms" in Sedbury, locally always known as "The Fish", it has moved upmarket quite successfully and is still firmly in Sedbury although Tripadvisor list it as Chepstow. Sedbury is actually in England whilst Chepstow is in Wales ! We went for Dinner after a long, hard day moving house. The welcome was lovely, we had reserved a table but there was plenty of room in the light and airy restaurant. They were offering a deal of two meals and a bottle of wine for £20.00 and the dishes on offer included a steak at £9.95 if bought separately. The wine that we chose was a very nice Merlot. I had the rump steak which although not huge was really good and cooked to perfection (rare). (I enjoy my steak this way and I find that it is very hard to hide dodgy meat that is served rare). Others had pies of various sorts and although very generous and tasty the pastry was a bit hard. They were, however, proper pies with shortcrust pastry top and bottom and not these abominations in a dish with a puff pastry lid. Our friends are going back today to try the Sunday lunch, which shows how impressed we were. Easy to find, ample free parking ( not sure what "validated parking" means ) but not in Chepstow !

Visited with my family, the food was spot on, very delicious there was a bit of a wait for our food (45 minutes) the service was a bit hit and miss. Would recommend this place, but try to avoid going between 1-2 on Sunday. Very busy

We booked a table and popped in for lunch today. We opted for the 2 courses for £10 which turned out to be excellent in a number of ways. Firstly there was a great choice of starters and meats. Secondly the device was great Lastly the food was deliciousWe will be back

Party of 6 celebrated hubby's birthday here on evening of Christmas Eve. Good food, decent portions, good prices, friendly service. Coeliac well catered for with gluten-free options. Thank you

Visited the Village Inn today for a family Christmas Lunch.Meal was excellent certainly plenty of it, all the family including the children enjoyed it.The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. we will certainly return

We were looking for some pub food that was not from a chain and looking for some winter home cooked food... The prices were more than reasonable with a great seection of meals at an affordable price to suit most pockets.We booked a table and made our way to the pub!Karys our server was fantastic, very attentive, friendly and genuine unrobotic service which is rare in a lot of places..The food was ordered from the evening menu and we both decided to go for the Steak & Ale pie which I have to say was fantastic, this pie is VERY hearty with a generous portion of meat and lots and lots of mash potato, it was a perfect amount and tasted fantastic and fresh.The atmosphere in the pub was friendly and the separate dining area is fab with views over the lovely gardens.I am booking now for Sunday lunch, it was spectacular, we cannot wait to return for that perfect home cooked hearty food and service with a genuine smile to match!Thank you!

We went here for a meal one afternoon menu look lovely and very reasonable. Food was ok did not have to wait long. The only think that let it down was the dog wandering around in the restaurant whilst your eating your dinner that put us off so we did not finish our dinner we payed the bill and left

We have visited and enjoyed all of our meals until the inn changed hands and on our last two visits the meals were very poor I think that half of the food was warmed up and not very nice we would not recommend this inn to anyone on our last two visits we shall not be going back

Had a great meal in August and decided to return with wife. Regrettable as chef had left and standards were not even close. A real shame as the food previously was exceptional. Watch this space.

We called in for lunch one Saturday in September on our way to Chepstow. Followed signs from The A48. Less than half mile off main road. Bright newly furnished pub restaurant with tidy pleasant gardens around. Service was quick and cheerful. Lunch menu fair with a specials board. We had coffee for starters as driving. Starters were truly magnificent and tasty. Mains from the specials board were really tasty and good sized. We had no room for sweets. Tea or coffee to finish. Truly excellent value - about £55 for 4 adult meals and 8 beverages. No question we would certainly go again.

can't take away the fact that the Village Inn is a really pleasant place to eat. The restaurant overlooks beautifully kept gardens. Plenty of seating outside to enjoy food, drink or a ciggie !!! As in my previous review, I made the point that it is unusual for a car park to be transformed into a garden and not the other way round !!! There is still ample parking. A relative was visiting us from Scotland, so we booked a table for Sunday lunch. Booking IS advisable as the Village Inn gets very busy Sunday lunch times. We had extolled the virtue of the food and looked forward to sitting down to an enjoyable meal. Sadly, the meal was very disappointing. We ordered chicken wrapped around stuffing with the usual veg. The chicken was dry as if not cooked that day, the so called roast potatoes were certainly not !!! as for the veg., there could not have been more than 50p worth between three people. Two courses for £10 was acceptable as the desserts alone were £4.50 each, however we had decided on just the main course for which we were charged £8.95 p.p.and most definitely, the meal was not worth that amount. We asked for the bill and after 15minutes and no bill appeared we had to go the cashier to ask for it. Apologies were made for our wait and the reason for the wait was because none of the staff knew how to operate the till !!!We're assuming the eatery is under new management and they are having teething troubles, but the food (we had) was very disappointing and grossly overcharged for what we had.
