The best restaurants in Hewelsfield and Woolaston Forest of Dean South West

Good quiet place to stay with great breakfast and welcoming proprietor near to Lydney Only problem was my satnav took me to the local post office

Don't take my word.... very popular. Excellent food... would advise booking... pies will blow you away.....

Had a great walk to the pub along the Gloucester Way walk, and despite getting a bit lost and arriving later than anticipated, and the kitchen had just closed a few minutes before, they were more than happy to do us some food. We sat outside in their lovely garden and our food came promptly and was absolutely delicious. Great friendly service, and would recommend. Thank you so much!

Fancied an Indian takeaway so decided to try the Gurkha. Ordered online and picked it up 20 minutes later. My wife said it was the best Biryani she’s had in years. I thoroughly enjoyed a mixed tandoori grill. Will definitely try again, perhaps next time we’ll eat in the restaurant. The menu also has Nepalese dishes which I want to try, and a separate bar for those who just want a drink.

I've been to this restaurant twice now, once with a large group of friends and once for a romantic dinner with my husband. Both times the food was very well prepared, served in a timely fashion and extremely delicious. I think the only let down, if you can call it that, is the bar area can get quite noisy at times.

Having already tried breakfast at the neighbouring Willowbrook garden centre, we thought we would give the Blackdown breakfast a try. When we found the entrance we had to walk through all the departments till we finally arrived at the restaurant section. Despite the centre having several in-store clothing shops, the restaurant was definitely not on a par with other ‘destination’ centres. The breakfast itself was quite good, though toast was not offered as an option to fried bread, neither was there a choice as to how the eggs were cooked. The thing that struck me was that the restaurant was tired looking and not as clean as it could have been. Despite it being fairly early in the day, several tables had crumbs on them. The chrome frames of the tables were covered in smears and the backs of the leatherette chairs had marks on them. The overall effect was of ‘transport cafe’ rather than somewhere to ‘go for coffee/lunch’. A little bit of effort however could make this a nice place.
