The Globe Inn Alvington
About
The Globe Inn Alvington is a historic pub and restaurant set in the picturesque village of Alvington on the edge of the Forest of Dean, close to the Wye Valley AONB. Housed in a Grade II‑listed building that once served as a coaching inn, the venue blends heritage charm with modern comforts. The interior boasts oak beams, a cosy log fire, and a large beer garden that opens to the lush forest canopy for al fresco dining. The menu features locally sourced, seasonal produce – hearty British classics and a fixed‑price lunch menu available Monday to Friday, 12 PM–5 PM. Saturday evenings are highlighted by live music, while the Sunday timetable offers a relaxed lunch from 12 PM to 7:30 PM. The Globe Inn also offers two modern en‑suite rooms for overnight stays, complete with free Wi‑Fi, a TV with freeview, and tea‑coffee making facilities. Friendly staff, quality food, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a favourite for locals, families and visitors exploring the area.
