The best restaurants in Forest of Dean South West

Popped in for a drink on a boxing day walk. A lovely pub with friendly staff; and most excitingly the wonderful Nightjar Stout from Wye Valley Brewery. Lovely!

We had our extended family Christmas meal here and it was really fabulous. The food was delicious and the staff warm and friendly. Great experience.

Lovely afternoon tea with family, sandwiches were so soft and tasty 😋 great selection of home made scones to choose from. Cakes were delicious 😋 friendly welcome the staff couldn't do enough for you will definitely be back.

Thanks for another amazing lunch, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. The lunch and cakes were some cracking portions and very reasonably priced, so we look forward to our next visit.

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!

Been to The Glass House many times and it gets better and better. Lunch today was excellent. Had the Bellypork and Pork chop. You need to be hungry for this but still made room for dessert and coffee. Service is very friendly and attentive. You might be paying a little bit more than other pubs/restaurants, but The Glasshouse can have my money any day.

This community cafe is a great place to pop in for food. They do an all day breakfast or many other options on the board. Lighter snacks or full meals, plus specials. If you do not see anything you like on the board Sally the manager always does her best to accommodate requests. Personally I love an omelette not on the menu but she is more than happy to make. Today they do a Tuesday special a roast dinner for only £8.00. It came with carrots, cauliflower, broccoli Yorkshire.new potatoes, roasted. Dogs are also welcome in the cafe.

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.

We were so looking forward to Lunch here having read such great reviews. Arriving with a very muddy dog we decided to sit outside. I went in to be greeted with Do you want a menu!! (Abruptly) Yes Please….I said…I will come and take your order I was told. So I went to sit with my partner and the dog. After 20mins waiting we decided the service wasn’t as expected so I returned the Menu and we left. Staff didn’t seem over busy lots of empty tables inside. Working in hospitality we find that customer service with a smile is paramount the excuse of Sorry we are busy isn’t good enough.

The food was absolutely fantastic, we especially enjoyed the green curry and garlic rice but everything was amazing. Delivery was also very prompt and service was excellent. We will definitely be ordering again!

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

Such a welcoming place vegan options great and also welcome dogs - super they gave our dog some treats and enjoyed a chat. This is a super place to visit if in the area

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 a lovely little spot...clean, caring and yummy. Support small businesses, I'm so glad I stopped and ventured in. Toastie was yum and cakes looked lush....if only I didn't overindulge this whole week!

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.
