The best restaurants in Forest of Dean South West

We were visiting the area for the Easter weekend and based on previous reviews booked the White Horse for Sunday lunch...and we were so glad we did! Food, service and the ambiance of the pub were all excellent. The price was relatively expensive, but you get what you pay for.

First time I’ve had a Sunday roast here and I wasn’t dissspointed. It was. Fresh. Good choice , they also offer vegetarian options or gluten free to , the staff are very helpful nothings to much trouble for them , and the pudding is to die for , It’s such a cute cosy little place , lovely atmosphere can’t wait to go back

Love this garden centre. A lovely family run centre with a real focus on plants, indoor and out. Amazing selection, always helpful, lovely cafe. The home section near the tills is a bit old fashioned for me so more modern would be great. In a way, it caters for all tastes though. A little gem!

Took my elderly father there this afternoon after a walk on May Hill. He can’t eat large portions so he just had a starter. Mushrooms in a melted cheese sauce with lumps of Camembert and fresh toasted bread, large portion. I had the local sausages with cheddar mash. We both had a pint of Otter real ale. Dad thought the food and drink was ‘just perfect’, and I’m inclined to agree. Worth seeking out this gem of a quirky pub in the Gloucestershire hills, staff were so friendly. Thank you for making my dad’s day!

Summer here so opted for cheese & bacon quiche with salad& chips instead of new potatoes. Look at the size of that plate full and great value for money nearly all meals at £8 or under.

Fabulous produce. Locally made sourdough bread, FAB! Eggs YUM! they tasted like eggs should. Friendly ,happy staff. A fabulous experience in a beautifull village with breath taking views.

Lovely coffee shop ,great flat white plus breakfast.Good staff ,very friendly atmosphere.Great place to stop after early morning walk in the forest

Lovely place. Food is amazing, particularly the homemade cakes, Guineas cake, banana and chocolate loaf, coffee and walnut and many more. Staff very friendly and attentive. The only place I will eat or drink in Cinderford.

Wonderful cake! Really that says it all. Actually this place really does surprise, beautifully quirky and full of interesting things. However, although the drinks are good, the standard of the cake baking is outstanding. Just go in, try the sponge Cake topped with copious amounts of cherries topped with almond flakes. Guaranteed you will go back for a second visit, we did just that. So good.

What an utter gem of a place! We went here for the Saturday afternoon Cheese and Beer experience and it was incredible. Great food, great services, great setting and above all great value. The owners were very welcoming and friendly, and couldn't do enough to make sure we enjoyed our time there. We'll definitely be returning when we're next in the area. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Fabulous bread and cakes and lovely friendly staff. I always enjoy their produce and like the fact they support other local small businesses.

My husband and I have ordered a takeaway on two occasions when we have been visiting the area on holiday. We have never been disappointed because the food is absolutely delicious. We had Thai fishcakes, chicken satay, chicken wings and prawn toast for starters and Thai green chicken, pad khaprao chicken and jasmine rice for mains - all were delicious. It was really straightforward forward to order and delivery was perfect. We will definitely order again when back in the area and would definitely recommend.

Visited on Sunday (I understand Sundays are a relatively new day of opening for Cafe on the Hill) with my lovely family who treated me to a birthday breakfast. This is a really pleasant establishment with friendly and helpful staff. I had vegan valley toast which was absolutely delicious and a vegan raspberry milkshake which was delightful. My Sister had veggie Wye valley breakfast which looked really nice and I will try this on ny next visit. I don’t live in the area unfortunately but I can’t wait for my next family visit so I can return here!

My partner, pup and I stopped on route to Shropshire. We were welcomed by lovely staff who showed us where to log our car for parking. We were shown to our table quickly and a lovely lady brought us a fresh bowl of water for our dog. Our order was taken after a few minutes and drinks arrived shortly afterwards. Our food came quickly and was really tasty. My partner had ham, egg and chips, and I had stuffed vine leaves - both were great. The only reason four stars were given and not five, was the outside looked tired (we had to go inside to check they were open) and the toilets were out of toilet paper and soap - which 45 mins after they opened was a little disappointing.

Amazing cafe the food is cooked and served very well, I've been coming here a while now they definitely deserve a great review. The cafe is clean and the owners are very friendly. If you find your self in Christchurch I recommend giving it a try you won't be disappointed
