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

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

A friendly pub with a modest but hearty menu. The food was excellent, good portions and great value. When we visited they clearly had a staffing problem and not everything was available. But for this it would be a clear 4 star. That said we would definitely pay another visit in the future. The eating areas are nice and there is plenty to keep young ones occupied.

Sunday lunch was amazing with the new chef beef was tender and not over cooked. Roast potatoes were very fluffy. A big difference and a massive improvement all around worth a visit. Staff were very helpful and accommodating colouring for the children and not a long wait for a perfect roast Dinner

Good sized breakfasts x 2, with quality ingredients, the vegetarian one (though it does not need that awful facon stuff, just leave it off the menu and and more of something else), and large meat breakfast. Nice coffees and teas and other things if you are hungry. Staff are really lovely! A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for and we don't eat out every day).

Came up from Cornwall to visit my family, my son treated me to fish and chips and curry sauce, living by the sea, i love fish, i must say it was the best fish I've eaten, cooked to perfection and not greasy, when i return i will definately be ordering more, well done, you have done your town proud

What a lovely fish and chip shop 🤩 We called and ordered at 8.20 (just before closing time) for a delivery and the lovely man sent 2 giant bags of the most amazing chips sausages salad and battered mars bars & cheese cake I’ve ever tasted and we only ordered a few things we were taken back by there kindness 5* food also. We will definitely be ordering again, you don’t get community spirit like this anymore and that’s why we will be loyal customers moving forward ❤️ Fast delivery (they were still piping hot) fresh delicious food all cooked to perfection may I add, and with a kindness like this towards the community….that right there is priceless. Thank you very much and just like that 💫 Blakeney chip in you have returning custom ❤️#payingitforward #blakeneychipin

Avoid at all costs. Received £100 parking fine for stopping here for 30mins. Signs are not lit up in the dark, not made aware of requirements for permit. Absolutely disgusting management

Went there tonight for the new pigs in blankets with chips and Yorkshire pudding my boy said it was amazing. We frequently go to als plaice for his burgers as they are the best in town 👍👍

Went to the restaurant as a groups of friends. A little hard to find the way in. It has the feel of an old club hall and bar. The young staff that were in were so polite and attentive. The food was delicious. I have roast beef with a massive Yorkshire pudding and amazing roast potatoes. The beefs seemed a little processed but still tasty. First place I have been to in ages that served enough gravy, sticky and tasty. Friends had chicken and peppercorn which they loved. Very lovely relaxing lunch

Sunday lunch was excellent. Great roast beef and roasties and a magnificent spread of vegetables. A good price and exemplary service. With a great pudding to follow. What's not to like?

Friendly, efficient staff and every breakfast item was hot including the beans. Great value. Would definately visit again when in the area.

We had different meals, the meal was cold and the other meal was late coming to our table. The waitress was miserable who served us. And the money I paid was not worth the price. The quality of food was not worth it.

I have previously had some great lunches and dinners here and was keen to try a breakfast. I went with a friend and we both went for the Forest Full English. I was not disapointed it was a proper size breakfast that would easily carry a person through to tea time. Quality ingredients all freshly cooked, none of this fashion of sausages cooked only on one side and bacon that has been quickly waved over a candle. Every item was spot on and presentation was perfect too. The staff were super frriendly and attentive. I told the staff at the time it was one of the nicest breakfasts I have had in years, on reflection I was wrong. I think it is the nicest breakfast I have ever had (and I am a breakfast sort of person), one of the few places that does tradional fried bread too. I could not recommend highly enough.

Came across this cafe while doing a camping trip with the grandkids Wow wow wow. One of, if not the best breakfast I’ve had, food freshly made to order, amount was more than enough Cooked expertly Would I visit again, yer dam right I would 5 star and then some 👍👍👍👍

My husband and I tried to get tea and cake yesterday afternoon. I am disabled and struggled into the garden to be met by a very unhelpful man who simply said 'its lunch' in response to my husband's polite query! When he enquired further, the response was: 'I'll get you a menu but if you just want tea, there's a tea bar over the road!' Needless to say we didn't bother or wait for the menu! Proprietor should remember it's the customers that keep businesses like this going and respond appropriately! Like another reviewer comments: Bring a packed lunch and enjoy the riverside beauty!!! The person we encountered was really rude and unhelpful!
