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

We visited on Sunday with family we’ve not seen in a long time, as you can imagine we were looking forward to it and had heard some great reviews! Sadly it was not what we were hoping….. A beautiful venue with table service, however the table service did not extend to the drinks. Food was allowed to be ordered at the table only but drinks orders were refused and we were sent to the bar. Ordering our food was most difficult as we had 1 menu between 5 of us, when asking a waitress if we could have some more she proceeded to say no because we’re saving costs on printing, she then decided we could borrow one from the neighbouring table providing it was put back before the guests arrived. We then asked if it would possible to get an extra Yorkshire pudding as not all of the roasts come with them, we were most happy to pay extra however the server told us she would ask the kitchen but can’t guarantee anything, and then said you will know when your plate arrives as to whether you can have one, followed by I’ve done too many steps today so I’m telling you I can’t guarantee it now as she clearly didn’t not want to return. Most disappointed in our visit, we will not be returning and we will of course be sharing our experience with others who will no doubt not wish to visit your establishment either.

Friendly polite staff. Very welcome and efficient service. Sadly the food let them down. The food looked straight from the freezer. Lasagne swimming in liquid, halloumi cold with burnt griddle lines on it, bun burnt griddle lines and cold too.

Visited the cafe again and just want to say it was a lovely experience, the staff who served us were friendly, polite and helpful. Laura and Millie served us on this occasion and made us feel so welcome, the food was exceptional and coffees lovely and hot. Laura came to check everything was alright with our order, which it was of course and also brought a dog treat for our two dogs and made them feel welcome too. Great visit, thank you.
