The best restaurants in Forest of Dean South West

good service and delicious cuisine

Awful experience. Used to be great - friendly with good food. Today was terrible. Inedible food, shocking service. Will not be using again.

It was terrible tonight, have had good ones though, cold and a lot of money for very mediocre food, do better please, it’s a special treat for our family

Awful food delivered takesway Worst burger i have ever eaten. Cost a crazy lot of money. Money down drain

Great little stop off for a drink and bar snacks. No food served anymore but well worth a stop off.

The best thing about this place is the staff. They’re all very welcoming, friendly and really do look after you. The food was just ok but it is cheap.

7.45pm on a Saturday night. Was told Chef was leaving now and there was a limited menu. Ordered a fish butty. Not quite what I wanted but limited menu now. The fish wasn't cooked properly. Grey and translucent. I said ' am happy to pay for it and don't want anything else. ' The Landlady stuck her fingers in it and rubbed the fish between her fingers in front of me. No .' it's overcooked she said. Disgusting.No customer acknowledgement or even nicety. I Asked to pay and waited . Offered some discount. Courtesy and etiquette not found here.

Such a welcoming visit into a proper pub. Locals, workers finishing after a shift and tourists like us staying at Forest Holidays. The footpath network is extensive and worth printing a map and not just relying on your phone but this is linked to Forest Holidays by a reasonably well lit footpath and has two local stores that don’t show up on Google maps on the way. We picked this pub based on reviews and the footpath as we have two kids and a dog. Staff were really welcoming and helpful, kid friendly and definitely dog friendly. As a result of the good food, good service and choice of seating options we opted for a return visit instead of trying the Dog and Muffler or the New Inn. If we make it out another night to one of those I will write a review accordingly.

Great pub very friendly staff and locals

Great spot in the woods for a coffee, easy parking and a lovely coffee

Excellent evening here, food was amazing, service was excellent, waitress very happy. Highly recommend the homemade pizzas.

Why play such loud music, it's a pleasant enough pub but dear me, the landlord seems to want the world to hear what's playing...wither that or just doesn't want to hear/speak to anyone because he obviously can't engage with them

Even a bad Chinese is a good Chinese, but not in this case, genuinely inedible

The best kebab in Newent. I eat at least once a week. There is no dine-in facility. All the food here is delicious. But my personal favorite is doner kebab. The staff are good and friendly. They don't accept card payment but you can do an online order and pay by card.

Will never go back, when we got home and opened the bag there was no chips and we had chicken chow main instead of chicken foo young. The sweet and sour chicken sauce was bland, the chow main was very greasy and lacking in substance other than noddles and the spring roll was extremely greasy, almost £26 wasted
