We've been meaning to visit The Parsonage for a while now, since it opened last year we've heard lots of mixed opinions on the place and we have been interested to see for ourselves what it's really like. Sadly we weren't terribly impressed, while the food was quite nice it simply wasn't nice enough to justify the price tag, other reviews have mentioned portion sizes and I completely agree with them, you leave the restaurant feeling like you've been had, the price is compounded even further by a 10% service charge! Overall I'm glad we gave it a try, it was ok but we won't be visiting again.

Restaurant area nicely appointed. Food and service excellent. A little disappointed that a few items on the menu were not available. Would definitely eat there again if in the area.

We had a really nice dinner. Food and service excellent. The place is decorated in an amazing style. Is it grass or moss framed on the walls!? My only recommendation would be to see one or two more 'classic' type dishes on the menu. The chef seems very good and I'm sure could turn their hand to anything

Met friends here for dinner on a Monday night. Parking was easy and it was not busy, so we were led to a nice light table next to a really funky green wall made of what looked like real moss. General decor light and clean. Drinks and food were ordered, service was friendly and efficient without being fussy. Food was excellent but not cheap, drinks were more like pub prices and a nice selection.. we will certainly go back and would recommend the place as one to try.

Popped in here for a bite to eat after a wedding ceremony. We had time to kill before the evening reception. Unfortunately, we missed the lunch service by about 20 mins but the kitchen very kindly still offered us ciabattas/flatbread pizzas. So kind and really appreciated by our group. The smoked trout ciabatta that I had was lovely. We spent a good few hours sitting inside having some drinks and playing board games. Was the perfect spot to relax. The staff were lovely and made us feel very welcome.

Would have liked to given a 3.5 as good but not very good. Food was really good and service lovely the server made us feel so welcome. Shame we were the only ones in dining room as no atmosphere. Maybe could have been offered to eat in bar.

Dropped in on a whim. Absolutely amazing food, my only complaint is that we were both so full we couldn't manage pudding. I had monkfish and hubby had T bone steak. We'll have to go back again because the gooseberry fool is calling me.

Have eaten here previously when it opened one evening and now returned for Sunday lunch. Tables were spaced out nicely; restaurant was well presented and the atmosphere was excellent (full). We had good service throughout (although I do like to leave service at my own discretion rather than being on the bill already). The food was excellent; the beef melted in the mouth and the roast potatoes and vegetables were cooked to perfection. We welcomed the inclusion of cauliflower cheese. I’m not a huge fan of gravy but it was delicious. The wines were excellent. We really enjoyed our visit plus the Castle Bar is an excellent addition to Dursley and just lovely inside.

Very much enjoyed a two course light lunch this afternoon, a real treat to experience with service, atmosphere and fresh quality ingredients. Had Asparagus and pea soup to start followed by pan fried Pollock, Samphire and New potatoes, simply delicious. Would highly recommend, don’t hesitate to try a welcome drink in the Castle Bar beforehand either, as the two go hand in hand. A real find and will be back, thanks.

Firstly, a lovely friendly welcome when we arrived. The decor is lovely and atmosphere a really cosy welcoming vibe. We went for dinner and opted for Olives and Red Pepper Houmous which were amazing followed by Chicken and I had trout. Both were really well presented and tasty!! Wine list choice was great too. Desserts on offer offered fantastic choice but we were too full to try them this time. I really liked the menu and it wasn’t full of the boring traditional options and it gives you an opportunity to try new things! It is on the more expensive side for mains but you are getting local, high quality ingredients. I want to go back for Sunday Roast. A great place, lovely staff and great food.

We visited the restaurant with friends for Sunday lunch. The whole meal was flawed . Small portions no extra gravy,soggy over cooked greens. All of it needed to be served a lot warmer. My pudding was very disappointing.Stodgy lemon polenta cake and the sorbet looked like the scrapings of the inside of a deep freeze! This made the sorbet inedible.

We have been to the restaurant twice this week. The first visit was an evening, portions were small and service not great. The second visit was Sunday lunch with friends, the main course was luke warm when it arrived (the gravy had set on the plate) a couple of people had the belly pork, they had asked if there was crackling on it and told yes! It arrived and was soggy and inedible. Desert arrived, the crumble was just warm and the custard was cold! We had asked for extra custard more than once but it never arrived. Again the service wasn’t great.

We visited for the first time for lunch and were very impressed. We all enjoyed the prix fixe menu which was interesting, tasty and well executed. We especially enjoyed the pheasant croquettes and the guinea fowl. It is great to see these types of meat on the menu. Look forward to returning.

This is a truly excellent restaurant in Dursley. We gave them a call and made a booking for the same evening and had a lovely experience. The service was first class and the food is second to none. We had a lovely starter followed by truly delicious mains. The ambience is just right and the whole experience is great. We will be going again.

A newly-created stellar restaurant we've all been waiting for--and on our doorstep--is in this corner of the South Cotswolds. What an excellent family pre-Xmas lunch get-together it was! Ten of us really enjoyed a superb meal in this elegant gem. The moment you walk in the door, you know you're some place special. Hayley (and her colleague) warmly greeted and expertly looked after us throughout, and we all were treated to great food. I recommend the venison on the a la carte menu. Our 3 bottles of wine were excellent, including a very reasonably-priced prosecco to start things off. A brilliant way to begin festive celebrations. Thank you!

I booked tables for a group of 23 friends for a celebration 70th birthday Sunday lunch. I was concerned that everything should go smoothly but I needn`t have worried. Sam was managing our party and from meet and greet with prosecco to final goodbyes, she was an absolute star. Although the restaurant was busy she ensured that our tables were served quickly and efficiently with food that was well presented, hot and delicious. Importantly she ensured that no one was ever left waiting for a glass to be refilled. After our meal we stayed to enjoy coffees or drinks of choice, chatting with our friends. When we eventually left, everyone agreed that it was a great meal, in a beautiful place, with really helpful and friendly service. Six stars if it were possible!

It is unfortunate I have to write this review after being one of Tomari G’s biggest fans previously. We arrived Friday evening to extremely bad service and without half the menu available. The waitress basically ignored us for 20 minutes. When she arrived they had no Rose wine. When we went to order they had no sushi ! One of the main reasons we visit!! We then asked for Salmon Poke Bowl, this was not available, We asked what was available the answer was just Ramen. I have also had a few friends visit who expressed there concern on the lack of menu available recently. I understand that this has happened since they have been taken over. We visited when it was the previous owners and it was amazing. My advice, try somewhere different. Nagomi in Cheltenham is amazing so we will be visiting that restaurant instead In future.

Last time visited “ small Americana “ was 1.95. Then 2.10. Today……2.60. No reason despite costs…..to elevate to this price… There are unfortunately not a lot of “ good coffee shops in Dursley” could do with “Costa” or Coffee1 “ Wake up call……for these stupid prices…..if you want to “ stay open” I’d review all your prices/ ….or you soon will be “ gone” No one wants to fell “ conned” last visit for me!!
