The best restaurants in Forest of Dean South West

We went there to meet some elderly relatives that were visiting the Forest of Dean. Firstly may I say how helpful they were, given that we had two 90 year olds, the lady serving couldn’t have been more helpful, saving a table for five in the window, and when we ordered, she was so polite and helpful. The coffee was excellent much better than we expected, and the paninis and toasted sandwiches were excellent, all served with a smile, and whilst we were sat there chatting for a couple of hours, she even came round and gave us a chocolate. It’s a hidden gem in Lydney, much better than we expected, would certainly recommend dropping in.

Lovely food great staff good price

Lovely place food,drinks,,people and views.

I don't think many people realise what's on their doorstep. Live music, open mics, songwriters, pool, snooker, games night, yoga, bingo and a hireable venue. All sorts. Been in Chepstow for years and had no idea

Great beer and company can't ask for much more !

Lovely village hall that is great for the Brownies and other events.

Not just a pizza shop they are mainly a chip shop which is the menu we also order from as you can't beat a great fish and chips. Food always delivered on time and hot.

Stopped for a coffee and scone both were good . Lots of history to the place . Sat outside lots of seating . Did not have to wait long . Service was very good price was reasonable .

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

We had a fabulous family meal at The Bell on Saturday evening and very reasonably priced. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was beautiful (especially the fish pie, which was to die for) Today, The Bell did us proud again when they provided a wonderful after funeral buffet for us at a very reasonable price. The selection of fresh sandwiches and home made cakes was fabulous plus sausage rolls, samosas, pork pies, sausages, dips, salads, crisps, nuts etc etc. Thank you both for looking after us all so well . We will see you again soon. Xx

On holiday in the area, and as someone diagnosed with Coeliac Disease, I was delighted to stumble across the Cinderford Fryer, where everything is gluten free. Where I live gluten free fish and chips are only available on the first Tuesday of the month! The fish was cooked fresh to order, the service was warm and friendly and the food was still hot on returning to our holiday home 5 miles away where we thoroughly enjoyed it. The curry sauce was amazing. Cannot recommend highly enough 😊

It’s great to finally see this building return to it’s intended purpose. I only stopped for a drink so that’s the reason I didn’t rate the food. The place has a fresh modern twist with an interesting interior. The guy who served me was friendly and the beer is well kept. I hope this place continues to do well.

A great shop with lovely Staff 😃
