Our Ethos �

As a family-run business, we are deeply committed to our local community and to preserving the natural beauty of the Forest of Dean—a place we are privileged to call home. ��

We are fortunate to live, work, and share in the joy of this breathtaking landscape, embracing the ever-changing seasons and all the benefits they bring. ���� With an abundance of local produce—Forest-reared lam

b, wild boar, seasonal fruits, and the bounty of the nearby River Wye ���—we are truly blessed by the richness of our surroundings. At The Farmers Boy Inn, our ethos is simple: to exceed expectations and create moments that make people smile �. We strive to offer an experience that feels like a holiday—rooted in passion, training, and an unwavering commitment to exceptional customer service, every single day. ��

For us, hospitality is about more than just serving food and drink; it’s about building relationships. � We cherish the connections we make with our guests, many of whom become lifelong friends. Sharing knowledge, stories, and experiences makes our journey even more rewarding.

� Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. We use energy responsibly, recycle wherever possible, and constantly seek new ways to reduce our environmental footprint. Respect for our planet is not just a choice—it’s a responsibility. ��

Above all, we believe in innovation and thinking outside the box. � Change is not something to fear, but something to embrace. And remember—perfection is often overrated. Sometimes, good is good enough. �

Now THAT is what we call a Saturday night at The Farmers Boy Inn.

A packed car park, a packed restaurant and the kitchen absolutely flying.

Puff pastry or shortcrust, tonight you’ve been ordering our pies in serious numbers.

But here’s what we’ve always believed.

A great pie isn’t just about the pastry. It’s about what’s inside it.

And ultimately, it’s our customers who decide what makes a great pie.

After 46 British Pie Awards, we must be doing something right.

Puff pastry, shortcrust, gluten free, lactose free, vegetarian or vegan, we want as many people as possible to be able to enjoy a proper Farmers Boy pie.

For over 25 years we’ve listened to our customers. Their opinions matter, their favourites matter and what they come back for matters.

Listen to your customers, give them what they want and let the awards and recognition take care of themselves.

Judging by this car park tonight, you certainly still love our pies.

And we’ll keep making them.

Pics all from this evening and thank you all for your support over 26 years.

Be proud.

OKAY… CHRISTMAS IS OFFICIALLY BOOKING UP! 🎄😂

I know, I know… it’s still August! But here’s why Phil keeps talking about it…

We’ve already got 30+ people booked for Christmas Day, and this year we’re limiting it to just 80 guests.

We normally welcome around 120, but after the passing of our much-loved chef Richard, we’ve decided to make this Christmas a little different. ❤️

So once those 80 spaces are gone… they’re gone!

📅 Christmas Day at The Farmers Boy
🎄 30+ already booked
🎄 Only 80 places available
🎄 Around 50 spaces remaining
🍽️ Christmas menu launching at the end of August

And there’s something new this year…

🥓🍳 Christmas Breakfast!

A brilliant idea from our good friend Gary Brown – a special Christmas breakfast for all the lads, girls and teams finishing work for the festive break. And yes, we’re already taking bookings! 🎅

Plus, the Christmas menu is written and ready to go to print. And Phil has made one thing very clear…

No AI was used in the menu! 😂
Just good old-fashioned food, thought and a proper Christmas menu.

🚗 And if you’re wondering about the road – it’s OPEN! No road closure here at The Farmers Boy.

🔥 And don’t forget Prime Time is still going strong!

🍽️ 25% OFF
🥩 Steak still on the menu
🥧 Pies still going strong
👧 Kids’ options included
🕛 12pm–2pm
🕔 5pm–7pm
📅 Monday–Friday

Christmas may feel a long way away… but those tables won’t wait! 🎄

📞 Book now: 01452 831300
📲 https://linktr.ee/farmersboylonghope

Are you planning Christmas already, or are you still pretending it’s nowhere near December? 😂👇

17/08/2026

YES… WE’RE TALKING CHRISTMAS! 🎄😂

I know, I know… it’s only August! But before you tell Phil to calm down, hear him out… 👀

What a weekend at The Farmers Boy! Friday, Saturday and Sunday were busy, busy, busy, and a massive shoutout to our brilliant team. 👏❤️

You simply can’t do it without the staff. When everyone knows their role, the whole place just hums along – and the best sign of all?

Happy, smiling customers! 😊

🚧 And yes, the roadworks are still causing a bit of chaos around Gloucestershire! But don’t worry – the diversion is open and it doesn’t affect access to The Farmers Boy from Ross. You might just have to wait a little longer for that pie! 🥧😂

Now, back to the C-word…

🎅 Christmas Day is already booking up!

We’ve already got 20+ people booked, and this year we’re setting a limit of 80 guests.

So once those spaces are gone… that’s it! 🎄

And there’s more…

🥓 Christmas Breakfast is coming!
A brilliant idea from Gary Brown – we’ll be putting on a special Christmas breakfast for people finishing work for the festive break. 🎄🍳☕

Our usual Christmas takeaway will also be available, and the full Christmas menu will be online by the end of August.

So don’t say Phil didn’t warn you… 😜

Christmas is coming! Get organised now! 🎅🎄

Remembering Richard on His 58th Birthday

Today, 15th August, would have been Richard Bodger’s 58th birthday.

It still feels strange writing those words.

Richard was part of The Farmers Boy for 23 years. But to those of us who knew him, he was far more than our Head Chef.

He was a friend, a character, a huge part of our family and a massive part of the history of The Farmers Boy.

For more than two decades, Richard stood in that kitchen creating the food and the pies that helped make us what we are today. Together we celebrated 46 British Pie Awards, countless busy services, plenty of arguments, plenty more laughs, and memories that will stay with us forever.

Richard left his mark on this place in a way that can never be replaced.

Today isn’t about awards or business though.

It’s about remembering our mate on what should have been his 58th birthday.

We miss you, Bodger.

Your kitchen carries on, your pies carry on, and your legacy will always be part of The Farmers Boy.

Happy 58th Birthday, Richard.

From Phil, Manda and all your Farmers Boy family.

Never forgotten. ❤️

That Stella glass definitely deserves some credit! 🍺😂

We’ve also had the Prosecco and spirits topped up, with Morgan Spiced Rum proving popular too. So whatever you’re in the mood for, we’ve got you covered!
