5 North Street in Tewkesbury

Once again Gus has excelled himself, we tried the Scallop, Tiger Prawn Risotto, Ham Hock & Guinea Fowl starters, Halibut and Venison mains followed by Dard Chocolate Marquis and I had the Apple & Blackberry Crumble - this melts in your mouth! The plates were cleaned and the wine empty! The entire meal was absolutely fabulous. I cannot praise Gus and family more - we will be back!

Absolutely perfect, a little gem . We had the 5 course taster menu, which was great for us, and came out feeling full and happy

Excellent food that does not only look like a piece of art but also (and in my opinion more importantly) tastes incredible. The ambiente is very comforting, familial, and the owner is so friendly. We have loved going there for several occasions and it's always been a great experience. Would definitely recommend to any foodies out there!

Firstly, the food itself and the flavours were great, the soup was delicious! And fresh bread too. The reasons we left a little disappointed were that I had provided details when booking the week before that my husband is Coeliac (gluten free), he was provided a shop bought, schar bread roll. This is not Michelin star quality of product or service. Also the canapé was Welsh rarebit, my husband was given slices of tomato as an alternative, there was very little thought or effort put into this. There was an awkward vibe in this restaurant, you could hear a pin drop and it felt uncomfortable to have a conversation. Staff were not at all engaging, very functional, almost transactional as if working through a to do list. Not once did they attempt to engage in a conversation. There was no warmth or friendliness. Also the restaurant itself is a little shabby. I understand it is relaxed dining but the window sill next to us was covered in kitchen towel, I imagine to soak up condensation from the window. Table mats were tatty, things like that, feels a bit like a run down carvery inside. Food was great, atmosphere, energy and friendliness were greatly lacking.

5 North is both the best restaurant in Winchcombe and an excellent restaurant just about anywhere. Winchcombe is a charming town with lots of small shops, a nearby castle, and the great gargoyles of St. Peter's Church. 5 North is almost at the exact center of town in an intimate setting. You will want to make reservations. The setting itself is small and intimate. There are fewer than a dozen tables in two adjacent rooms. What makes this restaurant is the excellent food that is really in the league of those that seek to be a cut above even the best of the competition. It's the kind of place where every serving is made up of several other excellent parts, but all work together. There is a prix fixe menu that we would like to try sometime, but as this was our first night after a long travel day we chose to go ala carte. Even so, the chef sent along some extra offerings each of which was outstanding. The food practically danced across our plate with every serving, demonstrating both creative and perfect preparation, but also clever and engaging presentation. Even our bread was presented with a hint of fun, with two kinds of bread joined together as a single fresh loaf. The service was good, perhaps not up to the quality of the food, but that left the food itself as the center of the show. Those in the tables around us were similarly impressed. I want to come here again.

Have been to 5 North St a few times now and the food is always excellent, full of flavour, from the little cup of soup at the beginning through to the pudding at the end (ginger and strawberry shouldn't work, but it does). Good value for money, too, including on the matched wines.

This restaurant seems to be a Father and Daughter enterprise. Father cooks and Daughter does Front of House. Daughter is delightful, very warm, welcoming, and friendly. Dad seemed to have a good sense of humour when he had time to appear. His cooking was wonderful. We were going to order the 7 course menu, but the Daughter told us that there was a lot in it. She went through it with us and we decided on the 5 course which was more than enough. Fantastic advice and knowledge from one so young. Wonderful culinary experience and exceptional welcome and warmth. I hope that this restaurant continues for many years to come. If I am down that way again I shall certainly try to book a table.

Fantastic meal in an intimate and charming family run restaurant. A cut above anywhere else nearby with a really friendly team. The tasting menu was delicious! Highly highly recommended!

Great venue in a lovely Cotswold village. Marcus delivers a solid tasting menu with big flavours, great wine and friendly service. Really enjoyable evening and definitely a Cotswold gem of a restaurant.

Lovely service and excellent food. Parking can be found outside on the double yellow (no parking wardens after 4pm) or the market square. Each course is thought out and delicious. I was full after a seven course tasting menu, we opted out of the cheese course and bill kindly reflected this. There were also canapés and homemade bread, delicious! Liberty was front of house and did an excellent job at looking after us all. I would come here to eat anytime.

A lovely Christmas Eve visit with my son. Thoroughly enjoying his pub grub, my 13 year old relished the quality upgrade in his plate of perfectly cooked venison with polenta and roast beetroot, while I devoured a fabulous piece of Brill with the novel addition of popcorn that added a nice contrast texture and didn't feel at all gimmicky. This family run business offers efficient but relaxed service, a smile and time to chat, all set in an achingly characterful dining room, that feels like home. Lovely accent touches with warm twinned bread to please white or brown lovers, and appetisers of rarebit and a teasing tasty small cup of warm wintry soup. Free council parking nearby and lots of indy shops to peruse if you book for lunch - go for it!

Thank you all at No 5 for another wonderful Christmas Day! Fabulous food and Gus and his girls so welcoming. A brilliant memory, thank you.

We visited this restaurant following a recommendation from friends who said it was one of the best dining experiences they have ever had. We were treated to one of the best meals that we have ever had regardless of Michelin star status. Each course was packed with exquisite tastes whilst still offering exceptional classic dishes using the best of ingredients. The service was also excellent being friendly and informative. We had the 5 course gourmet menu which at £64 including all the extras was superb value. We will definitely visit again and will tell all our friends not to miss out on this experience.

Been here before and it was amazing so come back but not sure I loved it this time we had 7 course tasters menu started of lovely then haif way thro we had a cheese course never had that before dessert before plus she made us 2 Irish coffees and with cheese never it was very heavy then we had 2 sharing deserts and im the worse person to share food with I absolutely hate people eating of my plate we felt very rushed and it spoilt my night a bit cheese coffee should come at the end thats how I have been all my life never had in in middle of a meal

We went to this restaurant for a special birthday with our friends. The service and food was absolute perfection. We cannot thank the staff enough for such a lovely evening and will definitely be back again soon when in the area.

Superb meal from start to finish. We had some substantial dietary requirements and Kate and her husband dealt with them as if they were no fuss at all- that is what I call excellent customer service. The taster menu is brilliant value for money and my family were delighted with every course. These hard working pair of lovely individuals deserve to succeed and prosper and they are a prime example why we should keep supporting local businesses. Keep up the excellent work Kate and husband, 5 North street is definitely a place I will be returning to!

A fantastic evening. The food was exceptional and the service just as good. Would highly recommend for a fine dining experience you won't forget.

An absolute treat - we were made so welcome, the staff were lovely. Food was just amazing, savoured every mouthful. An evening to remember.

Ate here while staying in Winchcombe while walking the Cotswold Way. Restaurant is quite small but there seemed to be plenty of space. We were expecting a tasting menu but they seemed to have changed their offering so you could choose what you wanted from a short menu in the normal manner. Service was good. I can't remember exactly what we ate but it was all excellent and beautifully presented. I couldn't fault anything and for the quality of food and service the price seemed surprisingly reasonably overall. Would definitely return if in the area again.

We visited in June for taster. What an amazing evening. We did not get to review at that time, but having just made a return now worthy to post and share as both visits were great. We had 7 course taster both our trips - amazing flavours, exceptional presentation and plenty served great portion sizes. You will not be disappointed at all, what a great experience. The wine list has some real gems too. All of this reasonably priced. Great friendly front of house team and great service. What a great restaurant, we will be back for sure.

An unforgettable evening in a beautiful atmosphere with a very tasty 7-course menu and perfectly served wines, rounded off by great service. We enjoyed every minute.

Very disappointed. The restaurant is small. We were seated at a table for two up against a wall adjacent to a table for four people. For Nick to get to his seat two of the diners at the next table had to stand up. We felt hemmed/crammed in and our evening was dominated by the conversation taking place at the table for four. Service felt rushed. The waitresses were pleasant but it felt like they were really keen for us to drink our wine quickly and twice we had to ask not to have more poured - who pours cold wine into warm wine? Courses came almost without a break, so no time to relax and let one course settle before the next was upon us. The table charge of £6 a head for bread felt a bit excessive - the bread was nice but..... Nicks main was the 'rack of Cotswold lamb' at £26. Rack? Nope, one cutlet. We are more than happy to pay top prices for a good quality experience, but we expect good quality in everything and I am afraid tonight was just a disappointment all round. We won't be going back and sadly, can't recommend 5 North Street after tonight's experience.

Well, superb Sunday lunch! Amazing starter, pork terrine and mains of rack of lamb. Super and friendly service. Will definitely come again! Thank you

Superb dinner at 5 North Street. The food was delicious. We visited four years ago but won't leave it so long before we visit again.

Very carefully prepared dishes with strong flavors. The 7-course tasting menu also includes one with cheese. If you don't like that, you should put together your own menu. At the end there were two desserts "sharing". We particularly liked the ox cheeks. A game course was a bonus over the a la carte menu.

Every crumb savoured. Truly amazing food. Two couples dining and nothing left at all. Decently priced wine to accompany. Very accommodating hosts ! A FIVE STAR experience.

Absolutely fantastic food, and lovely staff. We had two starters and a main each, so 6 different dishes to try out and every one was amazing.

Every dish from the canapes to dessert is a delight. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Mains might seem a little on the small side, but with everything that comes before and after, you won't be hungry - you just might wish there were more to be able to share with your dining companion. This isn't a "drop in and have dinner" sort of place - it's an event.

Exceptional meal and great service.

Superb meal, definitely on par with or exceeding 1-star (and some 2-star) Michelin-starred restaurants. The food is exceedingly good, creative, and perfectly executed. We were scraping sauces and very near licking the plates clean. Definitely an underrated and understated but outrageously good meal. You don’t get the bells and whistles of some fine dining restaurants in terms of decor or plates coming at exactly the same time, but as a trade off you get truly phenomenal food, hot, and just beautifully done in a comfortable, cozy environment. The most outstanding meal of our trip — hands down.

Everything about the food was fantastic. The canapés, appetisers and bread were just perfect, so expected big things for the main meal. The Ox cheek was cooked ridiculously well for the starter, while my wife had scallop and crispy lobster. Main course was lamb (again, perfectly cooked) while my wife had monkfish. Finished with a sharing cheese plate which was the ideal way of closing the night and washing down the remainder of the bottle of Gavi. Total cost - around £150. If this were in the centre of Cheltenham, it would be double the cost and thinking it through, I am not sure I would even see that as too much for food this good.

This is a real little gem of a restaurant. We travelled and stayed in Winchcombe just to visit No 5, so worth it! A warm friendly welcome, a charming bijou restaurant and the most delicious food - with vegetarian choices. Yum from start to finish - oh and you definitely won’t leave hungry!!!

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in a beautiful setting, look no further than 5 North Street. From start to finish, every aspect of our evening was exceptional. The food was incredible and we were blown away by the quality of the ingredients and the skillful cooking techniques. Every dish left us wanting more. But it's not just the food that sets this restaurant apart. The service was truly outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Kate had excellent recommendations, and he helped us pair our dishes with the perfect wine. Finally, the ambiance of the restaurant is simply lovely. The decor is elegant and sophisticated, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We felt completely at home while also feeling pampered and indulged. All in all, we couldn't recommend 5 North Street highly enough. This is the kind of restaurant that you'll be talking about for weeks, and we can't wait to come back again soon.

We visited 5 North Street for a special family meal and it was a really fantastic experience that I think we’ll be talking about for some time to come. The restaurant itself was small and cosy and an easy walking distance from a local car...

Superb venue - small but excellent menu. Lovely intimate atmosphere.

Sublime food. Thank you Kate for your attentive, friendly service. All praise to Gus for your exquisite food. We would find it very difficult to select a favourite plate amongst the seven course tasting menu. Every dish was well sourced, perfectly seasoned, incredibly tasty and...

Warm and welcoming on a blustery March evening, we enjoyed a memorable meal and cozy evening! This is a small and lovely environment and thanks to Kate and Gus for hosting us a year after our first visit! This restaurant is one of the reasons...

Such a lovely experience - the food kept coming and coming. We did the 7 course taster but had more food than seven dishes. Was so delicious and so well presented, really beautiful and very different. Such interesting dishes - full of surprises. Great service and lovely environment. Wine was fantastic too.

The food was excellent, we followed the 7 course tasting menu which didn't disappoint!! Beautifully prepared and presented, and portions are adequate for a nice diner. Good selection of wine. Small restaurant, calm, friendly owner and service. No parking, so we had to drive further down the road to find a place. Thank you for this nice evening.

Fantastic restaurant. Great food, lovely people, Nice choice of wine. Well priced. No pretentions. Mitcheln star absolutely deserved.

We were a family party of seven adults including one Gluten-free (me, the author) and one vegetarian, all out for a culinary experience. Five had the seven course tasting experience and two ordered three courses off the menu. Food was exceptional - perfectly cooked, arranged...

Took many customers here always good comments on there food ...

Very special place, small family run restaurant that has the most amazing food,

A lovely warm welcome in pleasant surroundings with a special atmosphere! Seven, or was it eight, courses of beautifully presented, freshly prepared, expertly cooked festive food; from artichoke velour to scallops to perfectly cooked duck . All accompanied with some excellent wine from an extensive...

Chef Marcus has the most exceptional ability to blend flavours to develop fantastic dishes. From thyme and elderflower with cheese to exquisitely subtle herbed cod. Great ambience and unpretentious service. Who needs to slave to retain a Michelin Star when food is this good. 2 visits in 6 months and every mouthful a delight - Enough familiarity to feel consistent and comfortable. Enough variety to continue to develop and push the boundaries of great food.

We had a table for 7 to celebrate a birthday, and really enjoyed the night. Most of us chose three courses and they were all delicious. I had the tuna to start, which was a dish full of interesting flavours, and was beautifully presented. I...

Fine dining, relaxed atmosphere, food beautifully presented and superb - one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. Chef and his wife (and their lovely dog) were incredibly accommodating and thoroughly pleasant!

Amazing experience as usual. Keeps getting better. The scallops, tuna and deserts were amazing.

The food is amazing, we had a tasting menu and it was just lovely! Looking forward to go back even though the service wasn’t the best one, they can improve a lot more.

We booked for our 10th anniversary whilst visiting Winchcombe. Food was faultless, very well presented and tasted incredible. The service let down the whole experience! Before my partner took his coat off, the waitress started to tell us that they had substituted on the menu....

Fabulous food and relaxed atmosphere.

We plopped into the restaurant in our walking gear after 20 miles on the Cotswold way. Utterly exhausted. This place was such a delight. We were served by a lady who made us feel so welcome in a very unpretentious way. Nothing seemed too troublesome...

Perfect in every way. We arrived late after a long walk on Cotswold way ( following a reassuring phone call that that would be ok) . No time/ energy to change and we’re welcomed in to a comfortable environment where we had unfussy friendly and...

We had read a lot of reviews about this place so our expectations were high. Safe to say that they were certainly met and exceeded! The ambiance is very different to your normal Michelin (certainly one’s we have been to in the past) as it...

Gosh this was a lovely trip - it's high end but really unhurried and the owners could not have been nicer and more welcoming. if you like really delicious food, served in a really unhurried and pleasant environment, I'd definitely recommend

We always have the tasting menu here. It is a lovely restaurant and the food is amazing.

My family had a great experience at 5 North. Taster menu was amazing and more than enough. No awkward long waits for courses either. Would unreservedly commend. They even put up with my dogs!

A superb meal in relaxed intimate setting. The bread accompanied by beef dripping and the amuse bouche of celeriac and apple veloute got things off to a great start. Scallops with lobster was incredible. I pigged out and had two further starters of cured tuna...

Wow, well worth a visit. Food was amazing, 7 course taster was truly amazing and unusually for a taster, very filling. Can’t recommend it enough !!

My wife and I have dined at No 5 on several occasions and each time we are treated to the most memorable food, service and atmosphere. No 5 is a very special restaurant, run by a dedicated family team. The standard of food is outstanding in every respect, an absolute treat to the eye and the palate. Every element of each dish is created to perfection, and complements exquisitely. This is fine dining without the pomp and inflated prices. A jewel in Winchcombe’s crown and we will return. Thank you.

Booked for an anniversary dinner. Only a small number of tables but busy. Most diners were going for the tasting menu but that seemed a little much so went a la carte. Menu had plenty of choice, but did not notice much choice for vegetarians...

Exceptional food. An absolutely amazing menu full of deliciousness and everything cooked to such a high standard. Very friendly service too and great wine. 10/10 would recommend.

Always a lovely experience. Thanks

My wife and I had the pleasure of eating at this terrific restaurant last this week. What an excellent find! One of the best meals we have ever had. We had the 7 course dinner, which really was about 10 courses with the various “amuse...

We booked a table thanks to a cancellation. There are only seven tables in this quaint looking restaurant tucked away in Winchcombe. I understand they have been there years. They offered a 7 course tasting menu but we chose to just have three courses. We...

My third time visiting. I couldn’t choose my favourite thing from the taster menu as everything presented to us was exquisite,so many wonderful flavours and textures. Dining here is always such a relaxing experience. Good wine list too.

Fantastic service, exciting and surprising flavours and textures. Everything I'd hoped it would be and more. Thank you from Giffords circus!

Arrived at time booked to a very small but lovely restaurant for the 7 course tasting menu we had a wonderful lunch tasty hot and pretty on the plate the 2 ladies serving were very good Well worth a visit

Having eaten at a few Michelin star restaurants I wanted to give this one a go. I have to admit the decor wasn’t what I was expecting but it made for a lovely, relaxed and comfortable experience. The food was well presented and tasty. What...

Enjoyable dinner. Reasonably vegetarian friendly. Interesting wine selection. Atmosphere felt casual.

It was ok, which at the prices charged is poor value for money. We had to wait half an hour between starter and main course. The monkfish went down well, but my beef sirloin was disappointing. For both starter and main the plates did not all arrive together.

This is a superb small restaurant. Service delightful and personal, food exquisite—every dish we had was delicious. Interesting , v good value wine list—we would recommend the Burgundy

Its such a treat to find quality food that caters for my gluten and food intolerances. Nothing was too much trouble, and the service was very efficient and freindly. What a treat, we will be back soon!

We were quite excited to come here after seeing the reviews and this being in the Michelin guide. First impressions - the environment was very tired - to the point of being a little shocking. Tables, chairs and carpet looked well past their best. The...

Everything about the meal was outstanding. The ambiance, the guidance on how much to choose and the lovely food. All of the party loved what they had and we will definitely return.

bought my mum here for mothers day.. what an experience..every mouthful was a taste sensation.. beautiful serice, outstading food

We had the most amazing experience at this restaurant. We had the 7 course tasting menu. It was amazing. The presentation and flavours were delicious. Kate the host was amazing. She explained every course in detail. Thank you so much Kate and Marcus for a...

Lovely place, very hospitable hosts. Great quality food.

We booked as we were celebrating 2 60th Birthday celebrations and wanted to push the boat out and treat ourselves. We had the tasting menu, the whole experience was sublime, with every dish flavoursome and tasty, how tiny apple balls can be so zingy to...

Went here for valentines day. Was lovely work n there 9 course set menu, highly recommend!!

We came to 5 North Street on recommendation and it certainly was worth it! We had an excellent meal, one of the best in a long time, all dishes were so tasteful and beautifully produced plus the amuse bouche were a lovely surprise Good selection...

We loved dining at Number 5, the food and wine was simply delicious! We had the seven course tasting menu plus a bottle of Nyetimber and a delicious red wine (I can’t remember the grape!) which was all really excellent. It was very busy and...

I will not bother with superlatives. I have eaten in hundreds of restaurants in 63 years and I would recommend that you visit 5 North Street to judge for yourself. It's in my top 5 ever!

Great fine dinning experience with some outstanding dishes. 100 percent worth the trip.

A great little find for Sunday lunch. We had the tasting menu and spent a pleasant 4 hours eating devine and interesting food. My one recommendation would be to wear a mask, not because of Covid but because it is so cheap for what they...

I really enjoy eating here as a treat. It is expensive but its really high quality food, lovely atmosphere and a friendly host.

We ate here as a couple on an October Wednesday night. Restaurant was full apart from one table which cancelled due to a late COVID diagnosis. Restaurant is reasonably small but we really liked the predominantly dark red and wood decor which made it feel...

This is a small restaurant run by a husband and wife. The food was wonderful and the chef is obviously passionate about cooking. Unfortunately his wife didn't seem to be so passionate about front of house, she somewhat rushed through telling us what each dish...

Michelin starred meal, 7 course tasting menu, but at a very reasonable price. Great service, really nice atmosphere. In this medieval market town, it was just a lovely dining room. Recommend.

Absolutely faultless food. Had a lovely long lunch with great wine and service. Tiny restaurant but very comfortable and friendly. I’m gluten free and I was very well catered for. Very reasonably priced given the quality of the food. Also we left really full…that’s not...

Best. Meal. Ever. Husband-and-wife team Marcus and Kate richly deserve their Michelin Star at 5 North Street. Every dish is beautifully presented and every mouthful is full of flavour. Kate’s friendly front-of-house welcome and excellent service completed our very enjoyable evening. Doggy friendly too! We will return!

Went here last night with eight friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the evening. The restaurant is small cosy and unpretentious. We were served by the joint owner the chef’s wife. We didn’t actually know that until the end but we should...

My husband and I visited on Sunday with 2 friends and our puppy Beau - we were welcomed with a smile and the great service continued. The food was exceptional (Michelin standard 100%) , the taster menu flowed and every course was fantastic. We had...

It's rare to get such classy food at a small local restaurant. In addition to putting out consistently excellent dishes, the service is both efficient and feels personal, which is no mean feat. A real gem.

Superb menu large or small. But just as important was the impeccable service on a seriously warm evening! The home made bread was to die for! Will revisit when in the area again.

Unbelievable food and not unreasonably priced. The food was absolutely brilliant, faultless. We had the tasting menu and there was so much fantastic food we could barely move afterwards! The maître d’ was so lovely, knowledgable and helpful about the local area. No question that...

This was the third time we've eaten at 5 North Street and it never disappoints. Lovely front of house and delicious, seasonal food with many exquisite touches. Great atmosphere, nice and relaxed and perfect for any special occasion. We'll be back again!

Incredible restaurant in the Cotswolds. Michelin star dining that is affordable and unforgettable.

This place is the real deal. Unexpected ‘amuse-bouche’, followed by a Quail starter and Lamb main course. Both cooked to perfection. This is Michelin-starred quality at a more affordable price. A must-visit if you’re in Winchcombe.

Wonderful food in a lovely old building in beautiful Winchcombe. Very good service, an extremely knowledgeable front of house lady, and an obviously brilliant chef. Looking forward to returning.
