Gelsmoor

About

Nestled in the heart of the National Forest within the historic Gelsmoor Inn, Gelsmoor Restaurant offers a genuinely English dining experience centred around its famed "Steak On A Stone" – a charming tradition that combines a juicy steak with a hearty accompaniments plate, all served on a stone slab for that rustic touch. The restaurant’s menu is thoughtfully curated to suit a wide range of palates, from classic roast dinners and homemade pies to a variety of vegetarian, vegan and gluten‑free options, ensuring everyone finds something to please. Beyond the iconic steak dish, Gelsmoor’s early‑bird specials provide flavourful delights such as the New York‑style pizza and a range of hand‑crafted burgers that feature locally‑sourced meats and fresh ingredients. Seasonal menus appear throughout the year, adding a touch of holiday cheer with homemade Christmas pies, festive pies and a dedicated "Christmas Eve" menu that invites guests to experience the culinary traditions of the holiday season. The ambience of Gelsmoor is warm and inviting, with a cozy interior that encourages family gatherings, casual date nights or a relaxed brunch. Outdoor seating is available on a sunny terrace, perfect for al‑fresco diners who wish to enjoy the surrounding woodland scenery. The friendly staff are known for their attentiveness and knowledge, often sharing stories behind each dish, enhancing the overall dining experience. Whether you’re a regular visitor or a first‑time guest, Gelsmoor stands out not just for its mouth‑watering steaks but also for its welcoming atmosphere, affordable yet high‑quality fare and a genuine commitment to hospitality that makes every meal memorable.
