The best restaurants serving British food in Severn Stroud South West

Pleasant pub with helpful service and bar staff. As a vegetarian there were a couple of choices as I eat fish, but don’t always want fish. Would have been nice to have a salad choice due to warmer weather, only one was Waldorf with chicken/stilton; maybe a veggie one with goats cheese/ Stilton or similar ? Garden area nice but some tables/ chairs needed updating or replacing.

We handling here every now and again because we love sitting by the small canal and watching the wildlife. The food is good value. I really enjoyed the Waldorf salad today which was fresh and tasty along with cheesy garlic bread which was a perfect side.

What a wonderful afternoon tea we have all enjoyed at Highfields garden centre, the table was laid beautifully and the food and cakes were delicious as were the lovely scones, (we needed doggy bags to take some home, ) there was a fantastic selection and all freshly made. The service was also fantastic and a special mention must go to Mary who made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble ,she was amazing. The only slight niggle is that the afternoon teas are only available on certain days and weekends so made booking tricky trying to get our large family together on the limited dates available. But definitely - definitely worth booking, it was a delicious treat and we all had a lovely time , definitely to be repeated again Thank you Highfields

We stayed in the lodge for two nights. Fabulous room nice and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. We loved the evening meals again lots of choice and very tasty. The best thing about this place was the friendly staff. Just up the road from Slimbridge I would recommend.

When it’s open it’s ok. Seems to be run as a hobby though because the opening times are haphazard at best. Rubbish wine choice. Only a few beers available. God knows when the CAMRA award was given. No chance now. Avoid this pub and go elsewhere.

Can't fault it. Good drinks served quick. Food was brill. Loved my food especially the chunky chips yum. We had salmon and spinach Wellington and chicken stack.

Officially the worst carvery I have experienced. I have never actually tried to eat shoe leather but I am reasonably sure what my son and I had on our plates today came remarkably close. Staff were polite but busy and if we hadn’t ordered a dessert our plates would not have been collected before we left. I travelled 60 miles to take my mum out to lunch as she had heard good things about the carvery; won’t make that mistake again!

The Bell has been doing a deal Mon to Thurs for a couple of months, BOGOF. We would pay full price anyway as very impressed. We have been a few times previously some time ago, but the food here has been amazing recently! Nothing like the bigger chain pubs, clearly chefs not just cooks. Great service and eating area set up as restaurant area, so better than many other pubs. Would deffo recommend to try.
