  • Historic Interior

Charming and unspoilt traditional English pub. It is likely that the site of this pub has been occupied since the 13th century when the church known as the 'Cathedral of the Forest', which is where the deceased from the Royal Forest of Dean were brought for their final resting place. The name 'Ostrich' could be a corruption of the medieval name 'hostelry', or from the coat of arms of the local Probyn family. Friendly staff and owners. Always several real ales available. Wide range of excellent food with some unusual dishes. Limited car parking. Also open on Bank Holidays and til 10pm on the Sundays before Bank Holiday Mondays.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

A late -17th-century inn last refitted in the 1950s and little changed since. A flagstone passageway runs from the front door to the rear. To the left, the main bar, which would have been two small rooms in the distant past, has a very large old stone fireplace with huge lintel. The bar counter was installed in the 1950s (the bar-back shelves look more recent) and other features include the dado panelling with bench seating attached, two curved high-backed settles, shutters on the windows and a characterfully ‘lumpy’ ceiling (can you spot the sheep?). On the right of the passage is a small dining room which would also once have been two very small rooms. Outside gents' and ladies' at the rear.
