The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Forest of Dean South West

We were accommodated quickly for lunch and had a good welcome. The service and food were good. Food wasn't anything special but it was filling and the menu has decent choices.

Someone recommended this 'gem of a cafe' well had a day out and visited this place for a coffee to find it was closed on a lunchtime. Oh well a few months later decided to have another try of this place and it was closed yet again on lunchtime. well my third visit - yes I did try again and it was finally open but I was overcharged from someone else that had ordered the exact same. I overheard what I suppose was the owner running another customer down saying people in rental housing and on benefits are scum of the Earth. This made me phyically sick as I am one of those people. I shall not be visiting here again

Having already tried breakfast at the neighbouring Willowbrook garden centre, we thought we would give the Blackdown breakfast a try. When we found the entrance we had to walk through all the departments till we finally arrived at the restaurant section. Despite the centre having several in-store clothing shops, the restaurant was definitely not on a par with other ‘destination’ centres. The breakfast itself was quite good, though toast was not offered as an option to fried bread, neither was there a choice as to how the eggs were cooked. The thing that struck me was that the restaurant was tired looking and not as clean as it could have been. Despite it being fairly early in the day, several tables had crumbs on them. The chrome frames of the tables were covered in smears and the backs of the leatherette chairs had marks on them. The overall effect was of ‘transport cafe’ rather than somewhere to ‘go for coffee/lunch’. A little bit of effort however could make this a nice place.
