We were staying in nearby cottage so thought we'd give it a try for takeaway one evening. The restaurant is attached to a pub so not sure what to expect. Rang through the order and ready to collect in 20 minutes. You don't have to go through the bar to get to the restaurant as entrance takes you direct and... More

Took some friends here on saturday26th January. Some of the best chinese food I have had outside of the far east, good and friendly service and reasonable prices. Dave P

I went for my birthday, incredibly friendly staff and excellent food. We were the only ones in, and had a lot of attention and care. Fab vegetarian options, and the chef even prepared me a birthday surprise of deep fried pineapple with ice cream and a candle to share with the 5 other members of my family. Highly recommend this,...

The service is polite and discreet, the food is delicious and whilst the setting is a bit odd, it is really friendly. If you want high class furnishings and trappings, this isn't the place for you. However, if you want excellent food, cooked to order and with each dish tasting fresh and full of flavour, Hin's is well worth a... More

Good pub with decent real ale. Clientele very local and cliquey; Silence when a starnger walks in, and the landlord could have been friendlier. The Chinese restaurant is attached to the pub, which I've never encountered before. Standard Chinese with the addition of a few dishes made with quorn for vegetarians, which was welcome to us. All in all, the... More

We found this pub arrangement a bit strange but it worked for us coming up from the river with our paddles etc and some of us dripping wet. We sat outside and admired the gorgeous 'dolls house like' house opposite while we dried out and tucked into scampi and chips or sweet and sour or Tuna mayo panini. All beautifully... More

The service was excellent in the restaurant; attentive when needed but also allowed our privacy. The food was superb, very fresh and cooked to perfection. Large portion sizes that we couldn't finish so brought the rest home. We had the set menu for £17.50pp, which was very good value for the food we received (both in quality and quantity). The... More

The Forge Hammer used to have the best authentic Indian restaurant in Gloucestershire, having been there and done that the Landlord has recently opened a Chinese ' Hin's Restaurant' which by all accounts seems to be heading for similar acclaim. The Forge Hammer bar still serves award winning beer with predominately a local clientel which has a lively atmosphere.

This Chinese restaurant had been open less than three months when we stumbled on it. Tucked behind the Forge Hammer pub in Lower Lydbrook, you'd be lucky to see its banner. On an 8 day walking holiday, we had eaten in venues of various value/quality from prestigious bistros to inns. What stood out about Hin's was the quality, amount and... More
