The New Inn - Forest of Dean

Overall, very friendly staff, good food, poor choice of ales, prices fair. Jukebox was added entertainment. 3.5 out 5 I'd say.

During our weekend stay at Forest Holidays, we decided to dine at a pub recommended on their website. The pub had a charming atmosphere and friendly bar staff, but unfortunately, the food was extremely disappointing. The lasagne tasted like a supermarket ready meal, and the chicken burgers were overcooked and inedible. It seemed as though the food had been reheated rather than freshly prepared by trained chefs. We were able to negotiate a discount on the bill, as most of the food went untouched due to its poor quality. Overall, we left the pub feeling hungry and disappointed. It is a shame as the pub has the potential to be a great dining spot.

The food was absolutely delightful, the staff were very helpful, and the atmosphere was amazing. I highly recommend trying the roast dinners as they were delicious.

We went for Sunday lunch, the ‘mega’ option was very nice.. and massive! The lovely staff looked after us really well, chatted and had fun with our kids and generally made us feel welcome. Perfect.

Amazing traditional pub. Great beer, amazing food and wonderful hospitality. Big thank to you Teresa for her great service and welcoming smile. Dined on a Thursday, it was so good that I had to go back on Friday and Saturday
