Reviews in Coleford

We had a really lovely meal at the Miners at Sling. My wife is a gluten-free vegetarian and it's usually quite difficult for her to be accommodated when we eat out, but the Miners were absolutely brilliant. The service was amazing, the staff were really polite and kind, and we had a really enjoyable meal. If you're ever in the area, I would thoroughly recommend eating there..

We went on a Monday night. Superb food and excellent service. Would definitely recommend the 5 ways to chocolate!

Monday is potluck-day. Good quality food in a nice environment. We made another reservation the moment we returned to our holiday home.

Came with my family for Fathers day. Roast was exceptional, and the 5 ways chocolate superb as always.Recommend it

Came here for father's day meal Everything was perfect, the staff were lovely and service was great. The roast was lovely abd the quality was spot on . We had puddings to and these were so good !

Excellent meal. Extremely pleasant staff. Nice and relaxed so would definitely recommend this lovely country pub.

My husband, a friend and I had a meal at Wye Valley Catering on Thursday evening, 12th June. The service was very good from the moment we entered when a young member of staff immediately came to greet us and arrange for another staff member to take us to the table reserved for us. I like the new layout of the dining area. I remember it as being straight rows of tables when we last visited, many years ago. The food was excellent as was the wine. We now intend to try the 'pot luck' offer on a Monday.

This was the tastiest/best meal I have had for years. So good I am willing to write a review, which I almost never do. The price was reasonable too. If I lived nearer I would be a frequent regular. Thank you

Lovely food great staff

Lovely food great staff

We had a superb dinner on Saturday night at the Miners Arms. The Madgetts farm chicken breast in Indian spices was the best chicken breast dish I’ve ever had in a restaurant. I normally avoid chicken breast dishes because they are so often dry. Not this one. It was so juicy, tender and perfectly cooked. There was even a gluten free option so I was able to have the onion bhaji for once. The potato fondant was melt in the mouth. I hope this dish remains on the menu for some time because I want to go back for it! I’m really impressed that the Miners are giving so many gluten free options, it makes going out to eat less stressful and I don’t feel like a freak! My husband said his fish and chips were excellent. The staff are always friendly, efficient and welcoming. We are regulars.

This was a real find while staying in the Forest of Dean. I ate there two nights in succession with different people and the feedback was unanimously good. The food was beautiful with highlights being a beef suet pudding and the fish and chips. A five chocolate taster dessert also went down a storm. Service was excellent but unobtrusive. Everyone was really friendly. Prices are in line with pub meals so given the quality it makes an excellent package. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for such a lovely dinner. We do not normally have 3 courses but the desserts were simply irresistible. We are back in the area in 6 weeks and will be back for more.

Delightful meal. However, with no prices listed online, we nearly didn't book, as all the information and reviews implied it would be a costly gastropub. The food was good pub food at a reasonable price - especially if you took advantage of the daily offers. Also, decide whether you are called The Miners or Wye Valley Catering - it's very confusing if you're a visitor, as we were.

Brilliant evening

Thankyou for an excellent Sunday lunch. My husband said it was the best he had ever had! There was something for everyone and all good, for a 3 generation family group that included 3 grandchildren ranging in age from 6 to 19. The butchers board provided an eating experience for all and it made it easy to try bits of each others order, and, I suspect, avoided waste.

This has got to be the best Sunday lunch I have ever had. We were a group of 8 and we all agreed. Succulent joints of beef and pork served with a knife to carve yourself. Perfectly cooked veg and friendly service. We will be back!

Excellent meal, although the portion size of the beef for 3 was on the small size. Whilst my chicken was more than enough for one so shared it amongst the table. Will definitely return. Lovely staff.
