The best restaurants in Pillowell Forest of Dean South West

Recommended by the local Dean's Wood campsite with a caveat of it being 'rustic', we enjoyed a very tasty excellent value for money meal and drinks. Our dogs were welcome, and the Land Lady was lovely. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for all weather. With a small play area available for children. Watch out for the local sheep wandering the roads and verges!

Great service, dog friendly.Lovely food

3rd time visiting the area and dining, first time staying in the inn, room was spotless and comfortable, breakfast was delicious, didn’t have an evening meal as we were here for a funeral but spotted the sign on the bar saying they were fully booked which for midweek is a good sign!

We had a very good fried breakfast in here and the cakes were amazing. Great coffee too and the staff were lovely. Thoroughly recommend :-)

Good food and good service.visited forest of Dean and ate here with friends twice.good food and reasonable priced.

Afternoon tea. Very slow service & poor selection of sweet treats as per middle tier on photo. Seated at 3.05pm, set menu afternoon tea served to us a minute short of an hour later at 4.04pm.

Excellent food and service in great ambience. Sunday roast in a country pub at its best.

Lovely spot for a coffee, friendly staff and beautiful scenery, didn’t try any cake but all looked lovely and fresh, will come again when in the area next

Popped in here when staying nearby on holiday… really delicious food, very much enjoyed it. Would highly recommend.

awful service,waitress was rude, drink were watered down,food was cold, was waiting 45 minites for a boat of gravy. would t recomend

Excellent food- this time the sunday roast, This was the best roast dinner iv ever had. Nicest roast potatoes, plentiful. lots of meat, calved from a joint, Turkey beef and pork. big yorkshire pudding. Roast carrot and parsnips. a dish of vegetables each- broccoli cabbage and carrots. Homemade cauliflower cheese. ( paid extra for this- so worth it) Homemade gravy- plenty of it. £15/£16 , Smashing polite young ladies serving and proprietor was so polite and good at his job.

Staff really stuck up, miserable, asked if they did scones she was like errrrr (surely you would know) then was like don’t think so no, had a banoffee cake it was bloody awful!!!!! So dry!! Wouldn’t have been surprised if it was there from before bloody Christmas!! Not a lot of other choice My partner said his was dry too.
