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

What a beautiful location. Well presented food for a comfortable budget

This is the second time we have visited The Miners Sling and sadly, this visit was not as good as the previous one. The food was ok but they only had one bread left and this was prior to 7pm so our ploughman's lunch was rather lacking in something to eat the cheddar with. Maybe a few crackers would have been a helpful accompaniment to the one piece of bread provided? Service was tardy too. Shame.

This is is our favourite for weekday lunch, but not tried a Sunday before ,4 of us and 2 chose pink roast beef,1 went for well done beef and the last one had the steak and ale pie. It came with vegatables roasters............Well..we just could not fault it,every dish was spot on,we followed with various sweets which after the generous starters left us all fully sated, with hungry people, our table was 1.15pm,the restaurant was nearly full and buzzing with hungry people ,the service was spot-on.just to finish ,the bill, was £20.00 per 3 courses or £17.50 for 2 so with £ 2.50 between 2 or 3 courses it would be poor judgement not to opt for 3. outstanding value of fresh local ingredients from a Very talented team.

Service was superb. Hubby thought food was great - pie& chips, however steak disappointing. First one over cooked, replaced quickly service super, second steak not great quality.

This is my favourite coffee shop ever, I go here regularly or even if I’m driving through I’ll grab a coffee for takeaway. The staff are so lovely and present themselves really well. If you’re ever looking for an aesthetic, nice coffee shop to go with your friends/family or even by yourself to do work I highly recommend this one. The interior is so pretty, and their menu is incredible. I cannot slate their milkshakes/frappes at all. They also have a dessert section that changes weekly, with loads of different cakes/brownies ext. definitely worth the visit if your looking for your new favourite coffee shop!💕

Great service, dog friendly.Lovely food

None of us could fault the food but the service was poor. We had a table booked for 6.30 but had no confirmation so I rang just to check and was told yes the booking OK. We got there slightly early but it took ages to even have someone take our order. In fact a couple whos reservation was for later than ours had their order taken and had finished their meal before our order had even been taken. It then took over 30 mins to arrive. It looked like there was one chap doing everything. We would go back purely to see if the service was a one off but if it happened again even the excellent food wouldn't entice us there.

3rd time visiting the area and dining, first time staying in the inn, room was spotless and comfortable, breakfast was delicious, didn’t have an evening meal as we were here for a funeral but spotted the sign on the bar saying they were fully booked which for midweek is a good sign!

Absolutely awful meal not great service. Food was cold or no taste, wrong meals. Don't waste your money going here. For a qualified chef it's awful. I'm unqualified and have done better food at home. I know what good food is.

My partner and I had dinner here over the May bank holiday, it was our first time visiting. The restaurant itself is lovely, light and airy with beautiful views over the adjacent vineyard. Very attentive and friendly service from Marta. We shared a few plates between us, everything was tasty, and there was a reasonable vegetarian selection. I thought overall the menu was quite pricey, and portions on the small side (even for tapas/light bites).

We are on holiday in England from the Netherlands, happened to drive past the George Inn, and decided to eat there. Good choice, delicious food and good, friendly service. We went there for dinner for a second time. Once again delicious food, and the staff very friendly and helpful.

The food is OK, but the standard of health and hygiene leaves a lot to be desired. Waitress/kitchen long hair not tied up, no washing hands when going from front of house to kitchen, think they need a refresher in Health and Hygiene

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.

Had not visited this establishment for at least twenty years. Welcoming friendly staff, prompt service, and good beers. Freshly prepared ploughman's and scampi and salad. Sat in the garden in the warm spring sunshine. Will not wait another twenty years to visit

visited the silver fox yesterday 15th may with my wife, we have been a few times to this Cafe and usually the portions are a little on the small side but its been a good experience. how ever yesterday was a big let down to say the least, I usually have the faggot, chips and peas which is what I asked for this day, when it arrived I couldn't believe the size of the faggot it is always one on the small size but this was one very very small cut into two, each piece being the size of my thumb (mine are on the normal size!!) I did complain and they bought out another one. My wife ordered the cheese salad which comes with a half baguette the cheese salad was of a poor portion just a bit of lettuce half a thinly sliced Tomato ,3 pieces of cucumber a small smattering of grated cheese plus a little pot of salad cream tucked inside the bowl(bowl very nice!!) when she came to cut open her bread for buttering she couldn't , I couldn't either it was rock hard!!, I offered to complain but she refused saying we probably wont be back so I didn't . shame really such a nice little Cafe. Faggot,chips and peas £10.95 Cheese salad £8.95 note, not that cheap .
