The best restaurants in Coleford and Holcombe Mendip South West

Ate here in May. Pretty disappointing. Portion sizes are tiny. The bruschetta was very small, the trout and avocado was very salty. The seafood stew main course had a small piece of fish, 3 mussels and 4 clams. Served with a small piece of sourdough. It was a starter size and definitely not a stew. The wine is overpriced. The pizzas were good and the prawn Pil Pil excellent. Staff lovely but won’t be hurrying back.

I popped in on the off chance for a cheeky cider and some food. The place was very busy, and I didn't have a reservation. But John the Landlord sorted me out with a little table. I order the smoked haddock with chive mash and a poached egg on top. It was absolutely amazing. I was so glad not to see your traditional pub menu. The food was excellent and so was the service. I will definitely be back and I would highly recommend The Bell Inn, especially if you want something traditional and hearty that isn't just burgers and steaks. Although they do do burgers and steaks. I can't wait to return again. Thanks John and thanks the Bell Inn team.

Always a super friendly welcome and fantastic food!! Great pub!

Wonderful stay at The Holcombe this weekend. A very warm welcome, excellent accommodation in a beautiful location, along with food that on its own is worth a visit to try. Lots of care was taken to make it a very special stay for us. We’ll be back again soon!

Went with my dad and we nice loved the atmosphere and the food. I had the 8oz steak and he had the roll of belly pork and both were excellent. Large range of meals you can pick from all superb. Would definitely recommend!!!

Fantastic local pub. Proper old school local drinkers' established. Friendly owner, friendly locals, loads of character and charm... feels like stepping back in time to what pubs used to be. Best of all, you can count on a chat with Aura, the pub cat, who's invariably to be found occupying her favourite chair.
