The best restaurants serving British food in Forest of Dean South West

Popped in for a drink on a boxing day walk. A lovely pub with friendly staff; and most excitingly the wonderful Nightjar Stout from Wye Valley Brewery. Lovely!

Thanks for another amazing lunch, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. The lunch and cakes were some cracking portions and very reasonably priced, so we look forward to our next visit.

This community cafe is a great place to pop in for food. They do an all day breakfast or many other options on the board. Lighter snacks or full meals, plus specials. If you do not see anything you like on the board Sally the manager always does her best to accommodate requests. Personally I love an omelette not on the menu but she is more than happy to make. Today they do a Tuesday special a roast dinner for only £8.00. It came with carrots, cauliflower, broccoli Yorkshire.new potatoes, roasted. Dogs are also welcome in the cafe.

This is such a lovely little cafe, one you might miss if you weren't aware it was there. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and know the regulars well. The food is competitively priced and the ingredients are all fresh and great quality. we choose to take our food away however there is a lovely little area for eating and appeared very family friendly

What a lovely little spot...clean, caring and yummy. Support small businesses, I'm so glad I stopped and ventured in. Toastie was yum and cakes looked lush....if only I didn't overindulge this whole week!

What an utter gem of a place! We went here for the Saturday afternoon Cheese and Beer experience and it was incredible. Great food, great services, great setting and above all great value. The owners were very welcoming and friendly, and couldn't do enough to make sure we enjoyed our time there. We'll definitely be returning when we're next in the area. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

My partner, pup and I stopped on route to Shropshire. We were welcomed by lovely staff who showed us where to log our car for parking. We were shown to our table quickly and a lovely lady brought us a fresh bowl of water for our dog. Our order was taken after a few minutes and drinks arrived shortly afterwards. Our food came quickly and was really tasty. My partner had ham, egg and chips, and I had stuffed vine leaves - both were great. The only reason four stars were given and not five, was the outside looked tired (we had to go inside to check they were open) and the toilets were out of toilet paper and soap - which 45 mins after they opened was a little disappointing.

We enjoyed breakfast here to celebrate a birthday, and were not disappointed. We chose the Light Breakfast, but there are plenty of options to suit everyone. A lot of the ingredients are sourced locally, and all cooked and presented beautifully. With a sweet shop as part of the business, it's possible to leave with an extra treat or two for later. Get yourselves down there!

Lovely food great staff good price

Beautiful, friendly, cheerful staff, beautiful scenery

Lovely little restaurant, worth a visit, they are a lovely couple that own it shame their hanging up their aprons in April!

We called the evening before for breakfast, as we were on our way home from a few days away with friends. Everyone at Tudor Farmhouse couldn’t have been more fantastic. We also had a dog with us, who was accommodated. The food was delicious and the place itself was beautiful. We would actually consider staying. The staff could not do any more for you. Every need was catered for before you could bought of it. I have to say a huge congratulations to all the staff we saw. They really were the heart and souls of this beautiful place.

Friendly owners, and pub looks very welcoming. Lovely large garden with a pretty substantial kids climbing frame and plenty of tables. Good selection of beers and ciders, and the food is excellent, with plenty of veggie options. There is live music during the summer ... wish they kept it going into the autumn!

Visited for the second time today after daydreaming for two years about the Sunday roast we had last time (in February 2023). I cannot say enough about how good this pub is. It is cozy and the food might be the best pub food I’ve ever had. Top five for sure. We visit the Wye Valley often and this pub is one of the reasons we love coming here.

Having stayed here many times in the past, sadly the stay was nowhere near as good with the change of owners. The lovely warm welcoming atmosphere has gone which was evidenced by how quiet it was on a Saturday night. The place used to be full of locals! Our evening meal was ok. Breakfast was not great, I suspect pre-cooked and no real choice. The place is starting to look tired including our room which had none of the nice touches it used to have and instead had a dodgy shower, a leaking window and a hole in the bathroom ceiling. We had to ask for toilet roll and teabags and a shocked response when I asked for non-dairy milk and was given oat milk that was off!
