The best restaurants in Coleford Central Forest of Dean South West

Went for a spot of lunch on a bank holiday, this was not on the menu, but Sally the cafe manager is very accommodating if she has it she will normally make your request. It was lovely, also and great value for money in this day and age. £7.50 as you can see a good size portions. Support local businesses.

Walking around Coleford and thought I would try this coffee house, well I wasn't disappointed amazing coffee and great, friendly staff. I will definitely be visiting again.

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.

We recently visited this restaurant for a tapas lunch. The restaurant was very quiet, only oureselves and another couple there at the time. Drinks orders were taken and brought quickly. We did wait quite a while for the tapas which was okay but unfortunately the tapas dishes I ordered were a bit hit and miss. Some were lovely, others not so much. We ordered a chilli and nachos dish and unfortunately the nachos had gone to mush and the cheese on top was burned. I'm sure the restaurant would have corrected this had I brought it to their attention but we didn't want to have to wait for them to remake it so we just left it. The decor is lovely and the staff are very nice and friendly but it wasn't my favourite tapas meal so I probably would not return if I was in the area again.

This is a really lovely family-run restaurant, in the middle of Coleford and with a free car park conveniently situated next to it. The service was excellent; really friendly, patient and caring with great attention to detail and frequent checking (from our waitress Gayana) to ensure everything was okay with us. It was a warm and comfortable environment and the food was of high quality (see photos). A most enjoyable meal complemented with tasty desserts and coffee. We'll definitely return next time we are in the area!

Nearly missed this place but thankfully found it after almost giving up on the town. Great decor and atmosphere and team are great. Coffee excellent and although didn't eat the food looked super tasty. It also does special music nights, which would really suit the atmosphere and decor. Hope they do rally well

Best fish and chips I've had. Staff are so friendly, fish is crispy and golden and perfectly fresh inside. Try the spicy black pudding. Curry sauce and gravy is great! It's a treat enjoy yourself and go all out here, it's worth it! Also you can take it to the dog house next door to enjoy with a tasty iPA!

Friendly, efficient staff and every breakfast item was hot including the beans. Great value. Would definately visit again when in the area.

This place was an amazing place for a quiet relaxing Indian, where nothing was too much trouble. The food was perfect usually I can eat a whole meal but the portions here were large and delicious and they let us all have takeaway tubs. We were a bit of a pain but the server didn't complain or moan he was very polite and understanding. I would definitely recommend cinnamons to anyone.

Been before and was disappointed , left it a while hoping things had improved but sadly still very poor quality. The fish was thin inside the batter, and had zero flavour . No flaking or creaminess to the fish at all just tasted of nothing really. Not a big chip fan anyway but had a small scoop but they turned out to be dried out brittle short what we used to call scrumps and were normally thrown out . But anyway they served them and charged handsomely for them . Needless to say they went straight into the bin . Most disappointed as it used to be top notch , with nice lemon wedge and paper wrapped . Now the carbon wastage via cardboard boxes and paper and plastic is diabolical . Sadly won't bother anymore , but good luck anyway. Cheers Fred

i love balti hut! the food is absolutely gorgeous and the staff are super friendly. it’s hard to find a good indian in the forest but this is no.1!

The food itself was very good large portions , lovely tastes. Down side orderd food 5.15 was told 1hour delivery no problem, the food finely arrived at 7.45 after 2 phone calls. Two and a hours late .

Great local pub, friendly, good value for money. Welcomes tourists, children, dogs, also. Do a very cheap Sunday roast also.
