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.
