The best restaurants in Alvington, Aylburton and West Lydney Forest of Dean South West

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.

What a wonderful diner! Excellent service and exceptional food. We were welcomed late in the date with an enthusiastic “Yes!” when we asked if they were still open. Nothing was too much trouble and we spent a long time chatting to the lovely mother and daughter team - sorry for my husband’s constant stories 🤣 The Rocky Road was homemade and to die for! Thank you for a lovely experience.

Lovely place food,drinks,,people and views.

We are on holiday in England from the Netherlands, happened to drive past the George Inn, and decided to eat there. Good choice, delicious food and good, friendly service. We went there for dinner for a second time. Once again delicious food, and the staff very friendly and helpful.

This place doesn't look that good from the front, so we were sceptical upon entering. But I guess the phrase 'never judge a book..' is reality. Staff were very accommodating to us and friendly, happy to do the food just how we wanted it and quite a nice place to sit in, kept fairly clean.

We went on Mother’s Day and made a pretty last minute reservation. We went towards the end of the day. The food was as good as if we had been the first order of the day. Everything was freshly cooked and everything was absolutely perfect. The only downside was that we didn’t have room for dessert! Dee and her team are always friendly and professional and nothing is too much trouble. Our favourite pub without a shadow of a doubt!

The ladies were friendly and despite a gigantic launch the previous day, they managed to provide cakes and buns for us all.

This is my favourite coffee shop ever, I go here regularly or even if I’m driving through I’ll grab a coffee for takeaway. The staff are so lovely and present themselves really well. If you’re ever looking for an aesthetic, nice coffee shop to go with your friends/family or even by yourself to do work I highly recommend this one. The interior is so pretty, and their menu is incredible. I cannot slate their milkshakes/frappes at all. They also have a dessert section that changes weekly, with loads of different cakes/brownies ext. definitely worth the visit if your looking for your new favourite coffee shop!💕

Awesome owners. Great coffee. Lovely place. What more could you ask for!

I ordered the Tandoori garlic chili chicken, which was delicious. Spicy though, be warned :p On the phone we mentioned we’d like a certain dish to be prepared vegan. Which in turn was executed well bij the restaurant. I’d recommend this place, definitely will be trying out more from their menu.

Came across this cafe while doing a camping trip with the grandkids Wow wow wow. One of, if not the best breakfast I’ve had, food freshly made to order, amount was more than enough Cooked expertly Would I visit again, yer dam right I would 5 star and then some 👍👍👍👍

Very welcoming, accepts dogs, good English food, very reasonably priced and lovely service. Inside it’s a bit worn down and dated but didn’t bother us as it had everything we wanted.

Having read the previous “suspiciously worded”reviews about the Golden Phoenix I have never had a problem with waiting times or the quality of the food. The previous review may have been google translated to max 😉 I have been a regular customer for three years.The food is fresh hot and very tasty. The menu is widely varied and the owners freely promote new dishes on the menu.. Tried the others in area with disappointing results. Unfortunately they don’t take cards and that in the current climate needs to change ASAP!

This is the only pub at the top end of Lydney and a handy watering hole if you are staying at the motel two or three minutes' walk away. Good range of beers which for me as a refugee from Surrey are offered at extremely attractive prices.
