Good old pub. Family room large, and nice that it was provided with pods / machine for coffee and hot chocolate, and a kettle for the tea. Extra orange and apple juice, as well as milk in a fridge in the hallway. Local drinks available and we later sat by the fire. We had eaten earlier in the day so did not try and evening meal, but they were booked out Bed was firm and comfy, and we slept well. Cooked full "Miner's" breakfast in the morning, with mostly local produce was great. Other foods available but we were full. We would stay again.

A marvelous place. Good food from local farms, near the Puzzle Wood and other attractions. Please, do not change it! We will surely come back!

Great place, great food, great atmosphere, great service. 👌

Just had our first visit here,will be going again for sure.recieved a warm welcome from the owners and staff,the food was amazing both at breakfast and the evening meal 10 out ten for the food what a gem of a place we loved it

Food was okay but lacked seasoning and needed more condiments. A bit overpriced for the quality.

WOW best meal we have had in a long time, will definitely be coming back. Sorry already ate the profiterole before taking photo.

Visited for Sunday Lunch. I had turkey , 3 roast potato's Yorkshire pudding and a dish of vegetables. Gravy was on plate but they did not serve stuffing with the turkey , shame. If 2 people have Sunday roast it comes on boards to catve your own meat, it looked like you got more meat and roasts this way but lunch for 1 was plated. Hubby had burger and chips. We started with curried parsnip soup and slice if bread , tasted nice but very expensive £8.50 each for soup. £17 for 2 bowls of soup. Nice food but quite expensive.

Best Sunday roast. Good food, good service, good atmosphere, lovely staff.

researched some pubs before coming to the region this was close to puzzlewood so took a punt. fresh printed menu, portions are more designer style cooked to order fresh and tasty, portions were a bit small and owner seemed to have had a hard day, not as cosy as some pubs but all good quality locally sourced food and attentive service

Unwelcoming and rude staff. Walked in family of 6 allowed us to order drinks and say we could have had a seat at the bar once the couple had moved to a table. Manager walked over after 10 mins of waiting for drinks and said they couldn’t seat us or serve us as it’s too busy… ended up walking out. Too many kids working not enough bar staff.

Superb dining experience on a Sunday. Delicious food, attentive staff and lovely atmosphere.

Quite honestly one of the nicest burgers we've had the pleasure of eating in a long time. Welcoming atmosphere, great local ale & cider selection, and dog friendly!

Nice pub for a drink. Quite expensive though

Dropped in for an evening meal with the family. X2 steaks and X2 fish and chips were fantastic. Absolutely delicious. Staff members were nice and welcoming too. Thank you!

Excellent stay. Only reason the room wasn't perfect is because of the creaky radiator and floor in the bathroom, but with earplugs in it was no problem. (I'm a light sleeper, didn't bother my wife). Really nice cozy room and beautiful rustic restaurant with excellent breakfast cooked to order. Great service. So close to nice places to see in Forest of Dean, and random sheep walking around the road and car park, which was nice too. Great coffee machine and milk/fizzy water included in the fridge. Would definitely stay again.

The food was excellent. service was very good, and a good price. Highly recommend it if your driving by.

Pot luck monday, 50% off ....what is not to like!!!

Lovely Sunday Lunch, where you get to carve your own joint brought to your table.

Lovely pub grub at very reasonable prices, excellent service. Highly recommended.

Only went for a pint after a bike ride and was confronted with covid rules!!wait at the door to be seated..table service only..if outside do not move tables..no thanks not again

Fantastic Sunday roast, service from a young team was outstanding. Will be back again.

We had a great stay at the Miners Inn. The rooms were very spacious and there was generous milk and coffee. The team were super helpful in the morning as we didn't have much time for breakfast. Would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.

We just had a meal there was very nice

We booked for our evening meal this Saturday 17th August 2024. We booked online as it said it was dog friendly. We arrived for our meal at the alloted time of 19.00 and were shown to our table. We were just about to be seated with our 12 year old dog when the young lad appeared and said I am afraid I can't seat you here, as it's the area that doesn't allow dogs. Where as I appreciate that certain areas are allocated for people with dogs, we were shown to the table we didn't select it! Also the woman behind the bar saw us go with the young man to be seated. Why were we seated there? That being said we were offed to sit on a couch with a coffee table which we declined, as if I wanted a TV dinner I would of stayed at home instead of going out for an evening meal. They accepted our booking online declaring themselves a dog friendly pub. There was no option online to say we were coming with our dog on their online booking reservation form. So thanks for our wasted journey on Saturday night!

Simple rooms with all amenities breakfast included. Great food, would recommend booking as very busy.

We had a family meal here. Good food and pleasant staff.

What a brilliant pub. In all honesty we only booked here because the pubs in our village were fully booked but after eating here we were so glad they were. Said to my partner that for the price of the meals here (generally £20-25) you expect something a bit more than your typical pub grub, but wow do they deliver. More akin to fine dining than pub grub. Will absolutely recommend it to anyone. Only slight downside is poor selection of ales but only a minor mark against an otherwise fantastic meal.

Really lovely food, two steaks for £30 on a Saturday and they are top notch. Very very tasty and the mushroom omg don't get me started 😋 yummmmmy cooked to perfection

Food amazing, room was basic but clean. What u expect for the money. Would stay again hosts were lovely and friendly

Food is pricey, however they have a great selection and each item we ordered was cooked beautifully. My wife had the fish platter pictured, and I had hunters chicken. Must say it's the best hunters chicken I have had. Well worth the money. Great kids menu to if you have young ones :)

Lovely pub with amazing food, would definitely recommend. Lots of local produce, all very well cooked, the staff were welcoming and attentive. Thank you for such a lovely meal :)

Lovely country B&B, Pub is closed Tuesday and Wednesday but that did not interfere with check in or breakfast which was fantastic. The staff we met , a man at check in and breakfast were very friendly and helpful. Great place to explore Forest of Dean and surrounding attractions from.

Excellent Sunday lunch, lovely staff. 7 happy adults.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch, catered for 6 adults and 2 babies, excellent roast dinners and delicious deserts, all served with a smile. Great communication when booking too. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic little country pub, tasty food, mostly pub classics done really well. Attentive, welcome and helpful service.

Great selection of food and a good location. Good expensive though and the garden is small and grey. Could do with more plants and greenery.

Nice staff. Very overpriced compared to other pubs in the area.

We didn't go for anything special on the menu, just fish and chips and the pie but they were both so good, particularly the pie which was next level melt in the mouth. The specials sounded great so will for sure go again, a lot of the produce is locally sourced and the menu is seasonal. Even though we live in Bristol we may have to make a special visit just to go here

Excellent food friendly staff good service also dog friendly

Great pub, great food, great staff. Did I say it was great Back again after a 12 month gap. Still great food with great staff and great prices. What’s not to like about this place.

Such a comfortable room. Breakfast was superb and evening meal was excellent. Staff so nice and welcoming

Great food, great service reasonable prices...and a rhubarb brulee dessert to die for. I highly recommend The Miners at Sling, Forest of Dean.

Location great for me as working locally for a couple of days. Service was excellent communicative and responsive. Rooms were nice size, clean and good decor. They are going to have all rooms refurbished in June so this will be even better standard when completed. Didn't get to try the food in the evening as the restaurant isn't open currently on Tues/Wed which is a shame as from reviews looks to be excellent. Breakfast however was great with variety of treats to have from traditional to healthy.

Lovely spacious family room. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Food was lovely & all locally sourced. Local attractions are just down the road (Puzzle wood & Clearwell caves). Would visit again.

Large and well-appointed rooms with lots of lovely little amenities and a large bath/shower with daily changed towels. With the included breakfast, the Miners is an absolute steal and reasonably walkable to Puzzlewood or Perrygrove (though a car is always helpful since local taxis are sparse). Come for the fantastic breakfast, stay for the sheep-watching and private grounds!

Excellent burgers, lovely setting, attentive staff, thanks very much

Absolutely loved this place. What a great staff, despite some of then looking young, they are keen as mustard. Really couldn't pick any fault with this dining experience. Professional, friendly and enthusiastic. Highly recomed

Excellent pub selling fantastic foods and beers highly recommend.

Can highly recommend The Miners at Sling, we have had a short break in Forest. Had a wonderful meal on Saturday evening and went back for a great Sunday lunch. Sunday lunch is meats are served on wooden board so that you help yourself, with plenty of potatoes and veg for everyone. Really worth a visit if you are in the area, best to book. Staff are very friendly and helpful, great atmosphere.

Fantastic lunch. Beautiful pub, attentive staff & fabulous food. A*****

We had a lovely meal at the Miners. The staff were accommodating and pleasant. There were 10 of us, and everyone enjoyed the food.

We visited the miners for a Sunday roast. Absolutely incredible. Beautiful meat and service was tip top! We didn't take any photos.... didn't want to waste time with that when we wanted to eat! Hahahahaha

Walked in and asked for a table of 2, hopeful as pub didn’t look busy, met with a frosty ‘we’ve no tables’ , not even offered a drink or even attempting to try & squeeze us in! Definitely would not recommend! As a business owner I understand going out of my way to accommodate a customer, but obviously customers are not important here.

Went here with a little trepidation given some of the reviews However the food was excellent and without doubt the finest Garlic Bread I've ever had! The bread was made with local wild garlic and dripping with cheesy butter. The garlic continued with a chicken kiev that was at least three times the size of what you might expect and I couldn't finish it. The flavour was wonderful and it was served with broccoli and some fries (their thick cut chips were better suited to it). Overall, really recommended!

We've just had Sunday lunch here with friends having driven past it many times. It was excellent! The food was fantastic and served in a novel way in that you can carve your own meat at the table. The quality of the food was top notch and portions generous, the service was great without being pressuring and the dessert menu was excellent. There is nothing negative to say. If you're in and around the Forrest of Dean and looking for Sunday lunch then look no further! Superb 👌

Delicious 😋 Sunday lunch 😋 Would recommend it, and we will be returning.

Friendly service, clean, modern room and amazing breakfast. Would recommend!

Food was fine, nothing special, steak wasn't very rare, despite ordered rare, rest of the food was ok, but not exceptional. Service was good (tiny bit slow when it got busy), and the building is nice. Good and interesting beer selection, and interesting experiments on the menu.

Had a party of 15 or more, the food was good and the service coped fine. I had a shared starter (fish), which was fine and a decent size for 2. The tomahawk steak was excellent - again, enough for 2 (45 quid is very good for that piece of meat). Well cooked (remedies rare) and well served. We had lots of wine and beers and the bill was around 650, but again, for 15, this is good. Generally really pleased, thank you Denis

Nice environment and classic pub feel. Went for the Sunday roast which was nice. Would suggest more veg and less meat, and a classic vegetarian option e.g. nut roast or wellington would be preferred over a spiced option.

Excellent meal at the miners inn on Saturday lunch time . Really enjoyed it and wonderful service. I will be back .

Would recommend...beautiful setting in Forest of Dean. Lovely place to stay, staff v welcoming. Enjoy the hug of FoD and views, whatever the weather.

Best Sunday roast I've ever had. Will definitely be back.

Unpretentious, warm and cosy Pub with great atmosphere. The staff were very happy and helpful. The food was delicious and I would definitely recommend a visit if you are in that area. We were staying at a local campsite and stumbled across this pub. Genuinely a 5 star experience.

Room basic but absolutely to requirements and sparkling clean. Nice addition was Nescafe Dolce Gusto (I think) - hadn't a clue how to use it, no instructions so used the google squad. No milk in the room, just about to call down when I found a note in one of the drawers explaining fresh milk was in a fridge at the end of the communal corridor - fridge located and several pints of semi-skimmed, spring water and fresh orange juice all chilled and gratis - very nice. Dropped star was because I reserve that for a walk-in 'wow' moment. I had room 1 so others may be far more decadent. Had three course meal at restaurant, tipped to be a gastronimic delight and it didn't disappoint. Had battered Haddock with chips and home-made curry sauce. I have never had batter that light and crispy in my 50yrs. Outstanding. My three courses, a pint of draught and a chocolate liqueur - £50 with 10% tip (voluntary). Serving staff very pleasant though the menu could have come with some explanations about some of the more cryptic items and the room (shown to room by serving staff) could have come with a few bits of information first-hand rather than having a mini escape room type feel - how does the coffee machine work? and where is the milk? Didn't have breakfast as had to be out at 6am but no mention of time either when taken to room - when I asked I'm not sure they knew. BUT, 10/10 for sincere welcoming nature and pleasantness from all staff. Room with breakfast on a Friday evening was £75. Large car park and a remote enough feel to know you're away from home and possibly - some of you, having a Forest of Dean vacation. I'd definitely come back - even if just to eat if I were in the area again. Last thought would be 'How nice it must be that the restaurant at your digs isnt just convenient but it's probably serving some of the best food around'. Si.

Service was fantastic. Food was great. Hearty portion size, lovely golden chips and quality beef. Does exactly what it says on the tin. The only thing for me, and it’s purely down to personal taste preferences, is that the homemade ketchup that came with the burger was a bit too sweet and the star anise flavour was a bit overpowering.

Did a stop over with campervan Great meal lovely laid back staff will be back 👍

Stayed here for partners 70th bithday. Lovely room. Friendly staff and fantastic locally sourced food. Would definitely recommend.

We were attending a wedding at Clearwell Castle at the weekend so chose Miners Country Inn. Our room was lovely! Much bigger than expected, and it was really nice to find a fridge full of water, juice and milk just outside the room. It was a winter wedding and the Inn had put some extra standing heaters in our room which helped keep it nice and cosy! My only complaint was that the bathroom was quite cold as you couldn't have a standing heater in there also, but I'm not sure what the Inn could have done about that! The area was nice and quiet and the bed was comfy so we slept like a rock both nights. Only a 4 min drive from the Castle which was ideal for attending the wedding! Breakfast was great, all the ingredients were locally sourced from what I could see and there was a nice choice of cereal, fruit and pastries to go along with the cooked breakfast. We also managed to have dinner there the first night and the food was absolutely amazing! Biggest portion of fish and chips I had ever had! The staff were kind and attentive also, it felt like they couldn't do enough for you and there was always someone to help with a query or a request. The price was great too compared to other places just 4 minutes away. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be staying here :)

Just waiting to get back to this jewel in a crown in the Forest of Dean

Went for a work Christmas dinner. Very lovely staff, delicious food and a very good selection of drinks. Would come back again!

Great stay at the Miners. Amazing food, service and drinks and a lovely room. Ordered from the Christmas menu, which was great value for money.

Fantastic food, wonderful staff and a great room the full English was certainly the icing on the cake

Very warm welcome. Fire place in bar area is a fab place to sit and chill. Food was lovely everything is fresh

We dropped by The Minors at Sling for Sunday lunch with friends This is one of those traditional country pubs that is so hard to find these days There were four of us and we had two good sized Sunday roasts; beef and pork with crackling, Yorkshire puddings, gravy and mountains of fresh vegetables. It was delivered to the table and we carved it ourselves which was rather fun. The staff were delightful, so courteous and welcoming. The food really was excellent, cooked to perfection and there were so many charming and thoughtful little touches which told us that the staff really cared and wanted to produce very special meals for everybody We didn’t have room for pudding but we had them anyway. Each plate was a masterpiece of beautifully presented food. This was a truly delicious, very special meal and I can’t not recommend The Minors more highly.

Booked a table off the reviews, this is another review totally recommending the food here, the meat was cooked to perfection, plenty of veg and great staff, fully recommend to you all

Stayed on a Monday night and had the "potluck" dinner at The Miners. Fantastic initiative - buying leftover stock from local producers and whatever they happen to get on the Monday, they'll make it into a fantastic meal that night at very reasonable prices. Incredibly hard-working, innovative, staff are lovely and our room was lovely and spotless. Would definitely recommend.

We only had lunch there. Sunday roast board was terrific. Will go again.

Had an evening meal on a monday which happened to be pot luck night. Excellent service and delicious food. They catered for my glutenfree diet(coeliac disease) with ease and understanding. We will call in again on our next trip.

Visited about a month ago. Struggling to remember what I had but I do remember all four of us really enjoyed our meals.

Absolutely amazing local food at unpretentious prices. I was very satisfied with the steak + brownie offer. The steak sauces got mixed up, but we avoided catastrophe as both were cooked rare so it only required a plate swap.

Thought we’d try it for an evening meal and it is hands down one of the best if not the best meal we’ve had out for a long time. We had a rump steak, a venison pie and childrens meal of sausages. First of all the ingredients used were clearly excellent, but also someone had cooked that food with experience, skill and love. The steak was cooked perfectly and very tender, and we cook steak a lot at home and are quite picky on it being right. The suet venison pie was a delight, British classic at it’s best, full of rich hunks of meat that were juicy and tender and with a beautiful sauce. Even the sausages on the child menu were good quality and perfectly cooked…no catering rubbish in sight. Chips, potatoes and vegetables were great and, woohoo, a dressed salad instead of a pile of dry leaves! Dessert was sticky toffee pudding and oh my days they nailed it. It was glorious and rich but not overpowering. The pudding was moist, spongy and full of flavour. The ice cream balanced it out as it wasn’t too sweet, and the biscuit/crumbs and sauce complimented everything. Getting a dessert like this right is not easy. Having worked in the industry myself, if I had a very slight niggle I’d say the service seemed to lack a little warmth. It felt like it was more about getting us sat down, taking our order etc but not really engaging with us so much. It wasn’t super busy so I’m not sure if it was staff preoccupied with other things or perhaps a little inexperience as people new to it can be a bit shy to begin with. I must emphasise it wasn’t bad service, it’s just that a bit of proactive extra warmth would make it perfect. As I say though that is a very minor thing, overall our experience was fab and this is our new local favourite place for food and it is hands down the best local place we have eaten at, but actually better than most places we have eaten at more widely (Bristol, Gloucester, etc), and we do eat out a lot. Thank you and we will be back.

Absolutely lovely food, couldn't fault our meal

Excellent food and really great service. The staff were all really friendly and welcoming. We visited on a whim as we were driving past around dinner time, they were very accommodating and found a table for us straight away. Oh and because we went on Monday it was their pot luck menu which meant 50% off food. Result! Really tasty food. Thanks so much :)

Despite the modest exterior the food and atmosphere were excellent. The staff were friendly and efficient and there was a great buzz about the place. Booking advised, especially on Monday nights where food is discounted.

Honestly one of the best Sunday roasts ever! Love the fact your given hot plates & a butcher board to carve your own meat honestly the best! Everything so tasty & home cooked definitely 10/10 for me! And the service incredible & lovely friendly staff all smiles highly recommended:) many thanks

The Miners Sling was the nearest local to our holiday accommodation, so we booked it for a meal out, not realising what an excellent choice we had made. Wev all four enjoyed our meals, fishcakes, mushroom and spinach risotto and mussels. Service was also good. They have various special deals on different nights. On a Thursday when we went there was a choice of about 4 main meals at £10 each.

Really nice & efficient staff. Good prices, but food not quite as good. Worth a try for sure.

What can you say about the miners Arms...incredible food...come see for yourself..

Hi, I walked to this pub with my daughter yesterday, the service was excellent, the staff very polite and helpful, food was excellent, absolutely recommended, thank you, definitely visit again.

Excellent food, good beer, best roast dinner I've ever had.

Such a wonderful meal, thank you 😊

Called in on the off chance of finding somewhere to eat as we are staying in the area and boy what a find. Monday night it turns out is " pot luck night" all food on the "pot luck menu" is half price and what a choice, a great selection of starters, mains and dessert. We had the duck swag bags to start, followed by 9oz sirloin steak (superb by the way) and a gourmet burger and finished off with "the trio of desserts". Now some of you may be thinking as I was. ..1/2 price food = small portions...but no.....proper size portions with bags of flavour too...... Finally I would like to mention that all the staff were on top of their game, very helpful and attentive which always makes a visit worth while.

Not sure whether it wants to be a restaurant or a pub, and tries to be a bit of both. Expensive for what it is.

Good food..lovely atmosphere....staff polite and attentive

Brilliant, a lovely welcoming experience & delicious food.

First time visit. Good food. Good service coming back. For Sunday lunch

Food service good, had to try quite hard to get a glass of wine

Lovely place. We came with our dog. Food was just lovely - we shared a Miners Picnic Board! Couldn't fault it. Good service.

Stayed here with my family and it's a fantastic place. Really friendly and professional staff, really lovely food, breakfast and ales and a really nice, quality and spacious room. I would definitely recommend this place and will definitely stay here again.
