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

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!

Great quality food. Plenty of choice. My Daughter absolutely LOVED the lemon posset. Fantastic service. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Spotlessly clean too. We’re visiting the area over the New Year and we were so impressed, we ate at the restaurant 2 nights in a row! They even managed to squeeze us in following a last minute cancellation on New Year’s Eve. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

We came here for lunch after visiting Ross on wye in the morning. We had lunch in the orangery. I would technically say this is a 4.5* review as wasn't perfect but very good. When we got there the lady serving seemed a bit stressed as it was busy but she had help about half way through. I had the sausage & mash, the BEST sausage & mash I've ever had. If they added onions to it in some description it would be 12/10. So yummy. Pudding was nice but not as wow as the main. Good value for money. Everyone at our table said it was the best meal of the week.

We throughly enjoyed our meal and time with you. We were able to choose a table, near to a cosy fire, with fantastic and friendly service from two of your staff. The food itself was really tasty and great value, and the atmosphere was both relaxing and the right side of busy. Thank you for helping make my dad's birthday an extra bit special.

I recently visited this pub with a friend, and it was a fantastic experience. We ordered a mixed meat roast and fish and chips, and both meals were absolutely delicious with generous portions. The quality of the food was top-notch, and it all came at a very reasonable price—just £40 for two meals and two drinks. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff making us feel welcome. It’s also dog-friendly, which is a big plus! Overall, a great spot for good food and a cosy vibe. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be returning!

As a pub it's OK. As a restaurant no. How hard is it to serve a hard fried egg on a gammon? Three times it took and it still come back with a runny yolk.
