The best restaurants in Coleford and Holcombe Mendip South West

Got a lovely warm welcome, lovely food and lovely atmosphere. Really brilliant pizza and nice evening. We were looked after by the waitress all evening, lovely and cosy with the fire on which was lovely as it was a bitter night

We came for Sunday lunch, it was the best roast we have had out for a long time, our 2 dogs were welcome and the staff were fantastic, we will be back for sure

Great afternoon, thank you. Food looked lovely and was delicious, service was friendly and attentive.

Although locals we have not eaten at the Holcombe (Inn) for some time Our mistake! Lunch today was really special. My wife fell in love with her starter: Vale of camelot & leek crème brülée. Such an unusual dish but absolutely delicious ( yes I did sneak a taste). My mussels in Thai coconut broth were also excellent, especially with home baked rolls (extra). My wife's main course was hake with dauphinoise potatoes and garden spinach. She also sneaked some of my creamy cauliflower au gratin. My roast sirloin was so tender and of course served with crispy roast potatoes and carrot , Yorkshire pudding and horseradish sauce. The perfect Sunday roast. Not only was the food delightful but so were the waitresses. Our chef and owner, Alan, helpfully came out of the kitchen to explain the recipe for the leek crème brûlée. The SA Chenin Blanc was a splendid accompaniment for the fish and my Otter Ale bright and tasty with the beef. No we did not have room for dessert unfortunately. We should not have left it so long between visits and will seek to remedy that. Even on a wet February day it was welcoming with its log fire but in the Summer is perfectly situated in spacious gardens surrounded by fields. Plenty of parking too.

Not the best experience and possibly 1 of the worst roast beef Sunday lunch I’ve ever had. Alarm bells ringing when they provide a steak knife with roast beef! In fact it was needed to cut through the fatty gristle meat. Roast potatoes were obviously prepared a few days ago and reheated. Shame as I’ve visited before and it was really good. Table service is non existent….. I was glad they didn’t have the cheek to apply the discretionary service charge. When I paid £17 for roast beef I mentioned to the lady on the till that I thought the standard of food was poor….oh sorry was the response! In other words… I couldn’t give a F**k

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.
