The best restaurants in Oxenhall and Newent North East Forest of Dean South West

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.

Stayed here as a member of Britstops, overnight parking for Motorhomes. Nice level parking spaces, quiet for a pub car park, 5 mins walk into Newent. Pub meal absolutely marvellous, both of us enjoyed the nicely cooked and presented food, staff very helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay

Terrible service! We went for Sunday lunch. Despite ordering drinks and food pretty soon after we were seated, we were left waiting for 50 minutes. When we asked the waitress how much longer it would be, she told us that it was coming, with no apology for the delay nor offering us another drink (as we had finished our first drinks). At this point, we were so exasperated that we decided to pay for the drink and leave. We appreciate that kitchens get backed up, particularly on a busy Sunday lunch slot, but the lack of care and attentiveness shown by the staff to even acknowledge any delay or try to make things more comfortable is unacceptable. Do not recommend!

My partner and I had dinner here over the May bank holiday, it was our first time visiting. The restaurant itself is lovely, light and airy with beautiful views over the adjacent vineyard. Very attentive and friendly service from Marta. We shared a few plates between us, everything was tasty, and there was a reasonable vegetarian selection. I thought overall the menu was quite pricey, and portions on the small side (even for tapas/light bites).

Great pub great food,good choice of menu and very reasonable price. Couldn’t fault what we had . The waitress even asked if we had any allergies which is a plus for myself as I’m coeliac. Would recommend visiting plus free parking for motor home over night . Another plus .

Only popped in for a drink, but the landlady was very pleasant

Burgers and fried amazing! Best vegan burger ever. Sadly carrot cake was so dry it was inedible

Avoid at all costs. Received £100 parking fine for stopping here for 30mins. Signs are not lit up in the dark, not made aware of requirements for permit. Absolutely disgusting management

Visited whilst on holiday. We are 2 elderly ladies and wanted 2 children's breakfasts, the others being too large. We were refused, first time I have ever experienced this. Wont be going back. Also entrance was treacherous with slippery moss on paving stones, and very wet.
