From the moment we walked through the front door we were made to feel welcome. The dining room is warm and cozy, the decor eclectic. With a choice of two menus, the bar or specials there was plenty of choice. The bar menu giving you the option to reduce your per head spend. We all opted for dishes from the specials menu!! We are a family that loves our food. Every dish was beautifully presented, well proportioned and delicious. I can whole heartedly recommend the goats cheese and pesto beignets to start and if you have a big appetite the ribeye surf and turf. There was a great choice of gluten free or gluten free adaptable options and with no gluten contamination in the fryers we could all share the fries. We only managed one dessert between six of us and were delighted with the lemon sorbet presented inside a frozen lemon. The staff were all knowledgeable and willing to help with menu suggestions, and adjustments to suit dietary requirements. Nothing was too much trouble. If you are not in the area it is worth going out of your way to enjoy dinner.

After a fab walk around at Puzzle Wood, we jumped in the car for les than 5 minutes to the White Horse at Staunton for lunch. What a lovely welcoming pub, log burners lit, dog friendly and a really welcoming team. The menu was terrific, Jenn opting for the cauliflower and truffle soup with fresh bread, which she said was "amazing" and I opted for the beef curry. I have to admit I was really tempted by the Steak pot pie especially when the chap at the table next to us got his before mine arrived and i was drooling, but I wasn't disappointed with my choice when it arrived at all. The curry was excellent, almost licked the bowl clean! We would both recommend this pub if you've been visiting Coleford, Puzzle Wood, Clearwell Caves in the Forest of Dean, we had a fabulous lunch and the staff were so friendly too.

A really fantastic place to visit. We planned a walk from the pub all through the forest (8miles altogether) and then bundled into the cosy pub for a lovely Sunday lunch. The staff were so accommodating, the food was so delicious- we had goats cheese beignets to start, roast pork and beef and finished with coffee and a chocolate tart. Could fault it- would really recommend visiting here if you are in the area. We’d love to come back.

I stopped off here for lunch with wife on a weekday. The staff were very friendly. It was kind of taken for granted that we liked dogs and dogs were roaming around when we were eating and there was a bit of begging. The food was great quality, fish was lovely and was well presented. I have also had Sunday lunch here before and it was great! The pub has a great selection of beers that are well kept. Toilets are very clean and is always a good sign for a place. My only issue is the price of desserts are a little expensive. Other than that, a great place for a meal.

We were warmly welcomed and seated in a cosy and atmospheric dining room. The staff were very attentive and the food was fabulous one of the best meals I’ve had dining out in a long time. From the delicious pulled beef croquet, fish supper to the tasty treacle tart every course was sublime and beautifully presented. Very relaxed too did not feel rushed in any way. We went on a Wednesday evening and it was full so book to avoid disappointment!

Just returned from an absolutely magnificent meal at this lovely pub. I started with the brisket croquette - soft, rich and perfectly seasoned with a deeply flavorful sauce. I then followed with the monkfish and king prawn curry, which was absolutely sublime. The fish was chunky, soft and served with a spicy, but rich and fragrant sauce with wonderful accompaniments and light, fluffy rice. Perfect. I don’t often do pudding, but succumbed to the treacle tart which was rich but not sickly, but still sticky and chewy and offset perfectly by the fresh vanilla sorbet served with it. An absolutely perfect meal. This pub should be exceptionally proud of what it’s turning out of its kitchen. Genuinely cannot recommend this pub strongly enough. Do not miss this gorgeous gem if you’re in the area.

The pub itself was cosy inside and had a good sized beer garden. We had booked a table but weren't aware when booking that it was relatively near closing time. The service felt quite unfriendly and as a result of the time also quite rushed. The food was very nice so it was a shame as that did spoil the experience for us.

Booked for Sunday lunch here having read reviews on TripAdvisor. Well worth the research. Really easy to find. Fully Covid-secure. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful. I had my favourite lunch, roast beef and all the trimmings. The meat was so tender it melted in my mouth and plenty of it as well. Veggies were piping hot and really tasty. We asked for plain veg.(as my wife is lactose intolerant) which was fab. I finished with jam roly-poly and of course lashings of custard. Superb lunch, excellent service and quality surroundings

I am currently on a very strict low FODMAP diet, for medical reasons, which means I have to eliminate a lot of different foods from my diet, including onion, garlic and gluten to name a few. This has made eating out incredibly challenging and I have had some terrible experiences, to the point it has become a running joke within the family about how cursed I am and given me some form of fear about how bad my meal will be. However I was left feeling incredibly special and cannot falter the team at the The White Horse Inn. From the point of booking my reservation, to advising me on which dishes I could have, to the chef creating me my own delicious dish, the team were very understanding and could not have been more accommodating. It made my experience so enjoyable and restored my faith in being able to eat out, without the quality of my meal being affected, due to dietary requirements, which happens at so many other restaurants. Those who live a low FODMAP lifestyle tend to avoid eating out because it is just easier. But it is so comforting to know that a local restaurant is willing and exceeds expectation when it comes to catering for individuals.

We booked this pub whilst on holiday in The Forest of Dean. It had been four years since our last holiday to this area, but we remembered how good the food was so we were delighted to find that the pub was still being ran by the same people, we booked an evening meal in the garden with our dog as it was a very hot day. There Covid rules were excellent, and the pork loin with seasonable vegetables and spring onion and chive mash with a very tasty sauce were beautifully cooked. So glad we decided to return to this well run pub.

The White Horse Inn at Staunton has been massively supportive of the village during lockdown, delivering meals, shopping and providing support in general. (As seen on Countryfile ) The menu for the meals has changed regularly and they’ve all been delicious and of the quality we’ve come to expect! The vegetarian lasagne, curries, scampi and chips, made-on-the premises pizzas etc have brightened our days. We have been shielding and genuinely could not have coped without them. The pub has been redecorated and looks good. Currently open under Covid19 measures and you need to book a table in advance.

The White Horse seasonal specials menu was delicious last night. Our starters were 'roasted red onion and pear arancini, perl las cream and watercress' - totally yummy and just the right amount to get the tastebuds going and 'smoked haddock hash, lightly poached hens egg, chive butter sauce' in both cases the presentation was superb. For mains we had 'sirloin of beef, parmesan mash, buttered greens and Montepulciano jus' which got the double thumbs up and I had the 'pan seared fillet of salmon,smoked haddock brandade, buttered greens, chorizo sausage, smooth fish cream and dressed leaves'.I've quoted directly from the menu because every dish was thoughtfully composed and we enjoyed our meal very much. Whether you are planning a first visit to the White Horse, or like us you are local and regulars, I fully recommend - but do remember to book in advance at busy times.

Staying locally with friends and their young family we visited on a whim and booked a table for 8 the following night which was pretty short notice give the size of group and restaurant. They put themselves out to accommodate us and on the night looked after us superbly. The beers was well kept and more importantly the food was delicious and just the right proportion.

The first thing that hit us as we entered this pub was the lovely cosy interior and the friendly, warm welcome. Whilst it wasn't particularly cold out it was damp and miserable and the log-burner was perfect. One of our party is in a wheelchair and we were asked to sit at the table we found most suitable. 'I'll let you get yourselves sorted then I'll come back' made us feel totally unrushed. We all struggled to make our choices from the menu as everything sounded wonderful. My sister opted for the lamb which was cooked to perfection as it was so tender. My Thai spiced potato soup was one of the best soups I've tasted and the seafood linguine was overflowing with salmon, prawns, cod & mussles. We were all delighted with our choice of food which was well-presented, good portion size and hot. I'd highly recommend this pub restaurant.

Miraculous pub! Cosy interior, friendly stuff, great Czech beer and amazing cider gives you a great place to spend a nigh. But what makes this pub truly extraordinary is their food. It is not that traditional "fantastic British food" which mostly means "edible". No, this food is FANTASTIC and their chef perfectly knows what he is doing. Everything - taste, plating, ingredient composition, level of techniques, size of portions, everything makes perfect sense. I had a by far the best slow-cooked lamb I've ever had!

We know, because we’re locals! Today’s chicken curry was lovely, served with fragrant rice, mango chutney and naan bread. Attractively presented but I can’t show you because it was so good I ate it all! Beer battered fish and chips also got the thumbs up along with a couple of refreshing pints of ale. We love our local, there’s always a good mix of visitors to the area as well as people we know. You can’t go wrong with such good food and friendly, helpful service in a comfortable setting.

We came in this evening , food was very good , quite expensive . The thing we found which was very disappointing was the customer service , we was not once asked if our meal was ok or if we needed anything else , The vegetables didn’t arrive with our main meal we had to chase them up which was 15 mins after our meal arrived and to top it off we ordered dessert which we had to cancel as we had sat there for 25 mins waiting for it , my husband asked could we cancel it in a polite manner , the waitress came back to say that the chef had lost the check for our dessert , we were offered to have our dessert in the next five minutes but by that time it was far too late we just didn’t want it , and for the record we wasn’t rude at all so please do not tell your staff that we was .

After reading such good reviews on TripAdvisor, we were very much looking forward to our lunch here. We received a warm welcome, the staff are very nice. But the food is really underwhelming. Our starters were ok, nothing more. Our lamb main course was overly rich, it desperately needed something to freshen it all up. The reduced sauce was nice but there was so much of it! And dauphinois potatoes was the wrong choice for an already rich dish. The lamb itself was very nice. Nice glass of wine. Nice staff, nice pub although a bit chilly inside, bit overpriced in my opinion for what was served. Would have given it 3.5 stars but TripAdvisor don’t give me that option. I don’t want to give it 4 either but that means I’d have to give it 3, and I can’t bring myself to do it. I think the chef is trying a bit too hard and not quite pulling it off. We left wishing we’d gone somewhere else.

We were recommended The White Horse by the previous guests in our accommodation & I must agree that the staff, the ale & the dinner was superb. I would highly recommend the Guinea Fowl & the Curry. My Wife would recommend the Lamb & the Fish & Chips. The staff were very friendly especially our waitress who luckily worked on both the Tuesday & Friday when we visited. The beer was very reasonably priced & was one of my favourites, Black Sheep. When we are ever in the area we will definitely revisit for dinner. Exceptional !!

Lunch with two friends, friendly staff, would never normally choose liver and onions in a pub but this was absolutely delicious, cooked exactly as we ordered. Good atmosphere, think it will be even better in the colder weather with the fire burning.

Baked brie excellent and lovely pint of real ale. Sunny garden and friendly staff. Super walks in Forest nearby with a leaflet to describe local spots of historical interest. Great campsite within walking distance at Broadstone Camping and Fishery.

Visited with my husband. Had a quiet table for two. Really pleasant pub. Staff are very cheerful and friendly. Food was absolutely delicious and tasty. We had chicken breast topped with olive tapenade, smoked ham and parmesan and hake in a sauce. Both were succulent and full of flavour. Sweets also wonderful. Would highly recommend.

There's good pub food and then there's The White Horse Inn. I visited here with the family on a recent visit to the area and we were all impressed so much by the warm welcome and amazing food we had here. Everyone was happy (including the kids). I opted for the rib of beef / Sunday lunch and had no complaints at all, lovely in every aspect. This is a definitely place to stop for food if in the area or if not travel into the area to try it.

We had an early evening roast, I phoned ahead to book a table which was needed as a popular pub. The lady said they make fresh early evening roast. It was absolutely delicious, one of the best roasts I’ve had out. There were 6 in our group and we all really enjoyed it.

Prompt service. Staff were very polite. Food looked good. Whitebait was good, but chicken Kiev’s could have had more garlic. Fish and chips were great. Curry was a wee bit bland. Faggots were good and the steaks were great. Sausages were snaffled by hungry children. Big portions. Dessert was a disappointment as the ice cream flavours were tasteless across all 8 desserts. Drinks were a wee bit expensive. We have eaten here a few times now and it seems this time they are made everything middle of the road, whether that’s cos we had kids and a an adult table would get stronger flavours I don’t know. Would eat here again.

This venue is located immediately off the Monmouth Road (A4136) at Staunton. There is a good car park. Internally, there is a bar and a pleasant restaurant. Dining is available in the bar as well as the restaurant.

Went for evening celebration meal and found the food to be surprisingly delicious. Definitely worth a visit. I have a peanut allergy and waiter and chef we’re very helpful and suggested I don’t eat the bread as it is made off site and they could not be sure. Lovely to have such a cautious and understanding waiter who understands traces of allergens as well. Will definitely be coming back soon

This is such a lovely little cafe, one you might miss if you weren't aware it was there. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and know the regulars well. The food is competitively priced and the ingredients are all fresh and great quality. we choose to take our food away however there is a lovely little area for eating and appeared very family friendly

We enjoyed breakfast here to celebrate a birthday, and were not disappointed. We chose the Light Breakfast, but there are plenty of options to suit everyone. A lot of the ingredients are sourced locally, and all cooked and presented beautifully. With a sweet shop as part of the business, it's possible to leave with an extra treat or two for later. Get yourselves down there!

Staying in the area so thought we would take a look at the craft centre and have a bite to eat. The traditional breakfast was generous and flavoursome, the service warm and friendly. Would highly recommend but would book a table next time....we were lucky and got a table.
