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

Lovely friendly pub great atmosphere

We were staying at Whitemead Forest Park and went to the Fountain Inn for dinner on two evenings. WE didn't take our dog with us although the pub welcomes dogs in the bar area. We had to book 24 hours in advance for both evenings and it is nice to see the pub being so popular. The welcome when we entered was warm and welcoming, and after ordering drinks we were shown to our table. Food service was very good with friendly staff. We had spring rolls, bruschetta, pork tenderloin, steak, moules, whisky chicken and chicken and mushroom pie. All were really good with portions that were generous. On our second night there were three menus: Valentines, Main and £10 Winter Warmer. What was so good was that we could mix and match from any menus, and the menu prices were sensible. Overall a nice place to spend an evening with good food and drink and friendly service.

Afternoon tea. Very slow service & poor selection of sweet treats as per middle tier on photo. Seated at 3.05pm, set menu afternoon tea served to us a minute short of an hour later at 4.04pm.

Excellent food and service in great ambience. Sunday roast in a country pub at its best.

Lovely pub to walk to from local accomodation. Great food and drinks. Very friendly staff.

Stopped here for Sunday dinner and then a Monday evening meal, both were amazing, sunday dinner, meat, gravy, veg, absolutely lovely, 1 thing I would have liked more cabbage with the veg, apart from that, knock out. Mo day evening meal, we had 2 meals off the classics, scampi and bangers and mash, partner loved the scampi with the tartar sauce and chips, bangers and mash, the banger were.....banging, the mash, lovely and creamy and the gravy was so nice, a definite stop when we are this way again and would travel here for Sunday dinner alone
