The Cotswold Grill in Cotswold

Used to come here when living locally, at one time Hicks Brasserie. When we arrived there was a tech issue re card payments - no matter, we went to the the nearest cashpoint and obtained funds. Just as well we weren't in any hurry - service was, shall we say, relaxed, to the extent that one of us had to keep going up to the bar to get menus, order drinks, food etc as the staff were definitely in no rush to attend to the sparse number of diners (and there was no-one in the Fig restaurant when we looked). Pretty limited menu, however we'd booked and Chippy was busy so we stayed put. What we had (mains a kind of deconstructed Caesar salad, a couple of puds, plus a drinkie each - no offer of table water) was decent enough but not exactly generous and, given it was a Sunday, sadly no nod to any Sunday fayre. Overall, disappointing - and there are plenty of other options in CC.

We made a reservation several weeks ago - we were looking for a nice formal dining experience for the four of us, during our visit to Chipping Campden and the Fig restaurant appeared to offer that. I booked online, and rang specifically to confirm our reservation was at Fig (NOT the Bistro) So we were very disappointed to be telephoned at lunchtime yesterday, telling us we could not eat in Fig, as there was a wedding in that venue. We pointed out that that this could hardly be a new development, but were told that the people at reception would not have been aware of the wedding as it is a separate booking system! Had we been told weeks ago when we made the reservation, we could have come on for example the Friday instead. Or booked elsewhere. This was all rather gave the appearance of being very badly organised. But at this late point we had no choice but to accept the alternative offer of a table in the Bistro. On arrival we were offered both menus, which was fine. However, things soon went downhill. It was very evident that the staff were overwhelmed by the demands of the wedding party, leaving little time and attention for restaurant paying guests. Eventually we were also brought drinks and wine menus, and our order for both cocktails and food was taken simultaneously. Menus were removed, including the wine menu - we never saw it again. We became very frustrated seeing some of our own drinks ignored and waiting on the bar counter, whilst staff served a constant stream of wedding guests drinks instead. Eventually, after sitting at our table with only a glass of water each for 45 minutes, our starters arrived, closely follow by our cocktails - what we had planned to be our pre-dinner drinks. We were then obliged to eat our starters whilst drinking martinis - not actually a pleasant mix. Our starters plates were swiftly cleared and our main courses hurriedly arrived and we were still trying to drink our martinis! We never did get the chance to order wine. Visits from any staff were very hurried. The whole experience was becoming most irritating - it was plain that the staff, though nice enough, simply could not cope. But worse was yet to come - unfortunately a young bridesmaid was violently sick on the floor next to our table and whilst we can appreciate this was very unfortunate for the poor child, you can surely imagine how extremely unpleasant this was for us as diners. Despite pleas from her older sister, no member of staff came to any assistance to clear this up, and in the end the girls wedged the door open and left it there. This was by now intolerable for us, we called for the bill and paid and left. A member of staff offered to fetch the manager, but to be honest, we couldn’t wait to get out of the place. In summary, this has been one of the worst organised, and badly managed food situations we have ever had the misfortune to encounter. The staff did explain that the issues were due to the wedding - well if that is the case, they should not have taken any restaurant bookings. This should not have been our problem. As for leaving vomit on the floor next to diners, that is absolutely inexcusable. We were frankly, disgusted. There is no way we can recommend this poorly run estsblishment.

Waited over a hour for a simple burger as my order was lost! Not acceptable as Bistro was empty so clearly no monitoring of kitchen from bar staff who take orders!

Abysmally slow service, provided by waiters that always seemed to be chatting, despite there being other tables waiting to be served. I've been a gourmet diner all my life and I can hardly remember such chaotic service. There was clearly no line of communication amongst the staff, as result two of our orders were wrong and the group had to leave hot food, grow cold waiting for the corrections on the previous two orders. That is despite the long wait for our drinks and food. General impression is there isn't real leadership or orientation for the young staff, that despite being polite were a bit lost and all over the place. Saw someone with spiky hair and suit, at one moment that looked like he could be a manager, but he ducked and scurried away as quickly as he appeared. Food on a whole was 'ok', this was a real let down. The food used to be really good, we dined there previously in the spring and summer and had really good experiences. It just seems unnecessarily over priced now.

I checked out the online menu before booking and was very impressed; always a deal breaker. On the night, we were not seated in the Bistro, but in the hotel dining room, and the menu was completely different and more expensive - too pretentious for our liking. I thought we were in the wrong restaurant and queried it with the waiter, but he said that the dining room and the Bistro were the same and had the same menu. I said that it wasn't the one I'd checked out online, and he apologised and said they hadn't updated it. As we had someone disabled with us, and it was getting late and I had no idea if there would be a table free at another restaurant nearby, we had to pay out the extra money for a menu we didn't want. The food was very nice, actually, when they got it right - I said I could not eat green garnish or leaves, but the food was served with them. I was beginning to despair by then. It was a joint 80th birthday celebration for our guests, but it turned out to be a rather fraught evening. I see that they have now updated their menu.

Really enjoyed my latest visit here on Thursday night. All staff were very friendly and closely following safety guidelines which was very reassuring. All of the food was absolutely delicious - including the best Creme Brûlée I have ever eaten! Would absolutely recommend a trip...

Great value afternoon tea, very generous portions! Service was quick and staff were friendly. Would recommend!

On the whole, Covid precautions taken, no track and trace. Meal good, slow service, but otherwise good. Plenty if space between tables.

The food was quite average and particularly overpriced. £11.5 for an Aperol spritz seemed over the top. Starters were excellent, but the mains were pretty bland and they served 1 main 10 mins after serving the other 2 which is quite poor service. The staff...

Nice atmosphere. Nice food. Nice staff. A very pleasant evening. Would return without hesitation. All good

Dinner here for two people was tasty and nicely served though by the time the main course reached us it was lukewarm. A well planned menu and an excellent creme brûlée. Serving staff were not wearing masks and did not maintain social distancing.

I had lunch today (20th August) with a friend.My choice was very poor.The Panini was dry and it had 3 pieces of cod gujons inside,with some peas.A piece of lettuce and a few. Chips came with the panini.For £10.50 ,it was not worth it.We won’t...

We opted to dine here as we were given a £5 discount each after having a very enjoyable spa treatment in the hotel. But it wasn't what we expected. The food was slightly odd. My husband went for the sirloin which was nice, but it...

Good to try this place again. The food was delicious and well-prepared. I had duck breast salad followed by Monkfish/Chorizo dish. Live music not necessary as it made it difficult to talk to the friends we were with.

My husband booked a table here on our last night in the cotswolds and it was a winner. Pleasant greeting and sat at bar for one of their speciality gins. Shown to our table and offered menus. Relaxing time spent pursuing menus. Salmon starter was...

Overall the meal was ok. Nothing special. We had a sharing board that included grilled vegetables. Apparently (according to the waitress and then the chef) grilled vegetables means pickled Gherkins and sun dried tomatoes (both out of a jar). We did get some grilled vegetables...

Great service, delicious food and an amazing Gin list. Having already eaten earlier in the day we were just looking for a light meal. A menu with plenty to choose from it did not disappoint and our food came quickly and was delicious, accompanied by...

Had the pork belly and my partner had the vegetarian option. Both delicious and good service with reasonable pricing

Staying at the hotel we decided to eat in the bistro for 1 of our 3 night stay, so glad we did I had the best lamb dish I think I've ever had. Staff were very attentive and helpful, no pressure to vacate the table...

Great choice of gin and lovely service. Nice touch serving crackling on the bar for the people drinking.

A pleasant space spoiled by inexperienced, untrained wait staff and a shared charcuterie plate with a total of 6 slices of cured meat (for 2 people to share) and spoiled further by a “chef” who seemed to think that appropriate accompaniments were flabby sliced bread...

The bistro is well located in town and has a friendly vibe, food and drinks were brought quickly. We had a couple of sandwiches which were good, but for the price not very generous.

My husband and I had dinner in the Bistro. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was also very good.

Nice atmosphere, great gin and wine and really delicious food. The chicken on mash was delicious and starters too. Our favourite place to eat in Chipping Campden! Friendly staff!

Very welcoming staff.Marco was very efficient.Good variety of dishes.Well prepared and tasty.The calamari was lightly fried with no rubberyness.The organic salmon was delicious.The chicken and mash were perfect. Lots of gins on sale with. sharing boards which looked interesting. Price was mid range.

We x 12 stayed in the hotel overnight and visited the bar at Bistro on the square. The range of gins is fantastic. Knowledgeable staff will recommend the perfect mixers.

My partner and I visited here today for a lunchtime drink. The hotel and bar were lovely. We would love to visit again in the Summer when you can sit outside in the garden. We must mention Sally who was very hospitable, polite and very professional in her job.

Their extensive gin menu looked cool and this would be a cosy place to stop for a drink, but I would not get the food, which was simultaneously too rich and not flavourful.

Excellent service, beautiful food of generous portions and lovely atmosphere. The chefs at this hotel are incredibly talented and their food should not be missed whilst in Chipping Campden.

My wife and I ate here on a Friday night. It was quite busy as its clearly a popular restaurant. The staff were excellent and the service was superb. The food was cooked to perfection and I’d highly recommend the chicken supreme. The icing on the cake is the gin menu, as I’ve never seen so many gins to choose from along with a great choice of tonics and garnishes. If you’re a Gin lover then this place in heaven.

Had lunch in hotel which was lovely- piripiri chicken on open sandwich with chips.Very relaxing time in spa. Excellent back & neck massage given by therapist called Carol.Plenty of free parking behind hotel

Very well presented food that was of very high quality. Amount just right for all 4 in our party. Complimentary wine as Fig restaurant not open on Monday.

Was in the cotswolds for a romantic weekend and booked this in anticipation of a nice meal out to make our weekend complete but was left sadly disappointed! Let face it its not cheap to have a meal out and a bottle of wine so we at least expect a bit of a smile and some friendly patter rather than what we got which was mostly ignored with our finished plates left in front of us for nearly 30 minutes per course , There was no pouring of wine or asking how our food was either . My hubby had calamari which was nice but nothing special I had the mozeralla and it was not nice it was a large ball and all runny in the middle and the sun dried tomatoes were grey ? My husband had steak which was OK but there was about 7 chips I had the risotto which was also grey and not great on presentation or taste for a total bill of £88 Id really expect a lot nicer and we got up to walk out after getting fed up waiting for the very miserable waitress to take payment . The atmosphere was also very lacking we sat in the back part as there was some very noisy customers in the front bit but the decor and ambiance was zero and like being in some 80s wine bar , I feel disappointed as this was supposed to be a special meal out . There are other places in Chipping Campdean that look a lot nicer than this place and wish we had gone to one of those instead of having rubbish food and being ignored !!

Started off ok being seated at our choice of table however once we were handed over to the restaurant staff they were so slow it was ridiculous. We were asked if we wanted our wine poured which I would have thought was standard! After finishing our starters it took about 25mins for starter plates to be removed even though the staff were walking past our table, then same again for the mains. (Steak came with about.9 chips stacked in a square to make it look arty) They weren't particularly busy so no idea why they were so slow. On asking for the bill and leaving my card clearly on show after 20mins we just got up to leave to pay at the bar on the way out which prompted someone to run over with the card machine probably thinking we were going to leave without paying. Food was ok but wouldnt return because I just don't have the patience tbh

We had a lovely 2 night stay here with friends. Lovely, helpful staff, beautiful room and great breakfast. We really enjoyed relaxing and eating in the bistro. Log fires were a real bonus on cold days!

Excellent weekend. My wife really enjoyed her stay, it was part of her birthday celebration. Could not of chosen a better venue. All the staff were very friendly and courteous. They even fixed up a little treat for my wife in the Bistro on the Saturday evening.

I went here for a family meal at lunchtime. I had the 6oz steak which was ok, but nothing to shout about with fries which were rather dry. My Dad had the smoked salmon which was a ‘main course’ but when it arrived it was absolutely tiny - it was not even worthy of being a starter it was that small! He asked for a side order of potatoes - the portion size was minute and was served in a tiny ramekin bowl! The service was extremely slow and the waiter and waitress who served us looked like they didn’t want to be there and lacked any personality! We got so fed up of being neglected after our main course that my husband went to the bar to help himself to the desert menu. Again, there was a very long wait to order a desert, and another long wait until the deserts arrived! We also had to go up to the bar to pay the bill, as we were ignored! The restaurant was very quiet, so there was no excuse for the poor service! We left the restaurant feeling frustrated and still hungry! This is such a shame because thedecor with an open fire was lovely, and cleanliness of the restaurant and toilets was great!

We returned to chipping campden on a snowy January evening after hiking some of the trail. Few spots were open...it was a Tuesday but the bistro looked warm and welcoming. It was. Food was delish. We had risotto, hake, calamari and more. All was exquisite and much less expensive than other meals we had in the area. Cocktails were wonderful with about 70 different gins on the menu. Highly recommend.

Came here for a late lunch and was met by very friendly and attentive staff. Sadly, the food was lacking and the portion size was quite small. Not too many food options in this village sadly.

Having visited a couple of years ago and been very disappointed we decided to try The Bistro again since the revamp under new management.I have to say, this time we were far from disappointed!We enjoyed an excellent lunch. The food was first class, as was the service.

The Bistro is, as our American cousins would say, quaint. Nice food, good standard, nice ambience. Nice casual dining venue.

We came across this restaurant when exploring the Cotswolds. The restaurant is clean and spacious. Food absolutely delicious and the staff very friendly and chatty. Clean bathrooms and convenient right on the square. Parking always bad in Chipping Campden but found space near the catholic church which was a short walk away from this restaurant. Shall certainly go back there if I find myself back in the Cotswolds in the future.

We stayed a couple of nights mid week and I thought the hotel was an excellent choice. From the efficient staff to the warm atmosphere, food, spa and facilities we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel. The bed was very large and comfortable. The bathroom had plenty of hot water, shower, bath together with dressing gown and slippers which are lovely extras and everything was to an excellent standard. Our room was on the front of the hotel and I was pleased I could open the windows and there was no noise. The room also had tea making facilities and good quality biscuits. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety and the staff were helpful and efficient. We used The Bistro Restaurant (part of the hotel) for dinner on both nights and the food was very good quality and delicious and we liked the atmosphere. This hotel was a very good choice for a central location in the Cotswolds. Just one tip for the hotel. I think a magnified makeup mirror would be good in the bathroom.

We had a lovely one night stay at the hotel and it was lovely. The building itself is very impressive and has a real boutique feel. The spa was lovely and tranquil followed by a fabulous three course meal in the bistro. The food was divine. Our room was inviting and cosy and the breakfast served at The Fig was excellent. A beautifully situated hotel with a lovely atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We ate here on our second night and have to say the food was very nice indeed and we cant wait to pop back and dine again

Nice relaxing environment, log fire, menu was varied with a good choice of gluten free options, food and service where excellent.

Este establecimiento definitivamente ha sacado las paradas y ha mejorado en todos los aspectos. Regresamos después de un período de 12 meses, principalmente porque estaba lloviendo y queríamos un refugio rápido, para ver si había mejorado.Nos pareció que tenían la administración del Bistro bajo control. Nada era demasiado problema. Era eficiente, educado y no demasiado dominante una vez que llegó la comida. La elección de la comida fue completa con una buena selección sin pasar por páginas en abundancia. También hay una buena selección de vinos distribuidos en un rango de calidad y precio muy aceptable. La calidad de la comida era excelente y puedo recomendar el plato de pollo. Tiene un sabor excelente y las verduras acompañantes se cocinan a la perfección. Tanto que he tenido el mismo plato en las últimas dos visitas.El ambiente es un buen equilibrio entre restaurante, bar de vinos y cafetería. Echa un vistazo al menú de ginebra / lista / cócteles muy completo. Impresionante.Hay otro restaurante en el mismo establecimiento llamado The Fig y, una vez más, he experimentado el Bistro en la plaza. Tengo la tentación de probar el Fig.

Comimos aquí en nuestra segunda noche, la comida era bastante buena, como el servicio. Ellos almacenan más de 60 gins que fue una gran ventaja.

I enjoy going for a bit of lunch here. Lesley and Vivi are always proffessional, friendly and polite. Just what you need on your break. The hotel always looks clean and tidy, and nothing seems too much for them to make sure the customers are happy.

This stay was wonderful. Such an incredible town. Such history. One of the centers of the Arts and Crafts movement, with 4th generation craftsmen still working in town. Wonderful walks around and up and down. The service was great, with a very enjoyable Bistro with a great staff and a crazy gin selection. We will be back. Plus loved knowing this was the birth home of C Aubrey Smith.

Nice enough food, good quality sausages, great mashed potato and good service. On a cold day it just needed to be a bit warmer inside!

Service was great, food and cocktails were good. I came here to eat with friends and it is a small restaurant and can be hard to get into, I would make a reservation. It was the most expensive restaurant I went to in Chipping Campden.

Delightful setting, even more delightful waiters and waitresses and amazing food make this the perfect spot for lunch or dinner. High recommended.

My friend who is a local to the area and myself visited the Bistro on a Saturday afternoon.

I visited the hotel with my daughter for a celebratory break. The hotel staff were attentive, friendly and professional. The room was comfortable and beautifully clean. We ate in The Bistro which was superb and again we experienced excellent service.

Ate here while staying the hotel. Good food and location and staff all very good. Prices fair. A good range of food on the menu and s decent wine list too.

Recommend Bistro on the Square whilst visiting Chipping Campden. Food is very good quality, nice ambience and the service is very friendly and efficient.

Beautiful old building in the heart of the town. Meal in the Bistro was excellent. Would happily stay here again. Enjoyed the use of the spa and the lovely gardens. The room was comfortable and well maintained.

Lunch was lovely and affordable. The Gin tasting was spectacular and the staff were all knowledgeable with regard to their gins and the appropriate fruit and mixer for each. It was a very enjoyable night.

We can highly recommend Bistro On The Square whilst visiting Chipping Campden. We enjoyed a relaxing lunch with delicious food and cocktails. I would highly recommend visiting the Gin Bar within the hotel too!

A short walk from Silk Mill Cottage - our accomodation in Chipping Camden - made an ideal location for dinner with our daughter and her partner. The Bistro on the Square has a fabulous menu that is regularly updated and is reasonably priced. The star of the show is definitely the delicious and very well presented food. The chicken served on mash with in season vegetables sounds like a plain meal but was mouth-wateringly good. The mushroom risotto and pork loin meals were also very well received.

I visited for afternoon tea with a friend. The tea was good - nice homemade scones and a good selection of sweet things. It was good to be offered a choice of lemon or cucumber water too, on a very hot day. The service was initially excellent - very friendly and helpful. However once we had been served our tea that was the end of our interaction with the staff - no offer of more tea or sandwiches, which is usually the case in hotels in my experience and no checking everything was OK. We were last to leave the dining area and the man then clearing the tables seemed oblivious to our presence and was very unhelpful when I asked for directions to the Ladies. Maybe he was just having a bad day! Yes I would go back for the food and the environment and I hope the service blip was just that.

Chipping Campden looks like what everyone thinks of as a perfect small English village. The Bistro is on the central square in this lovely village. The atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable. We started with glasses of prosecco along with a cured meat plate. I then had risotto and my husband had the pork loin. The food was excellent. With our dinner we had a bottle of a local white wine "Little Oak Siege". We were a little skeptical about ordering an English wine, but it was very good.

Stopped for lunch here, everything seemed freshly cooked but arrived quickly. Service was fantastic and all staff were friendly. Location is great and surroundings lovely. I will eat here again.

The Bistro (located within the lovely Cotswold House Hotel and Spa) provided great food options fairly priced, good service and an excellent center of town location. Definitely worth a visit.

We went for dinner and whilst the service was friendly, the food is massively overpriced. My husband had the sea bream which he mentioned was nice but we did have an issue with the wild mushroom risotto which was literally 12 fork fulls for £16. A tiny portion. For over £1 per mouthful, I expect something special and it wasn't. A shared garlic bread baguette is something uninspiring also. We have dined in more elite establishments across the country and are happy to pay whatever money for an enjoyable dining experience, but I do have an issue of being taken advantage of.

We arrived for dinner and it took 15 minutes to get all drinks due to a barrel being changed... one of us changed beers so they could get a drink sooner and go to our beautifully laid table and we found later (when home) that they had charged for both! The service was disappointing and strained, questions as to wine and food were greeted with irritation (they had been busy earlier apparently) which was a shame as we were celebrating an achievement and a friendly attentive service would have made the evening memorable for all the right reasons. We spent over £200 for 4 mains, 4 sweets and drinks (inc the beer we didn't receive), the fish dishes and sweets were particularly good, unfortunately the service tainted our overall experience which is disappointing as we've been before and it was much friendlier which is why we chose to revisit.

Very nice staff and very welcoming. We stopped for nibbles and a drink which were tasty and the wine was better than average - white house was certainly adequate. Would return when in area

Our small tour group had dinner at the bar bistro since we stayed there for two nights (great lodging). My wife and I shared (had a big late lunch) the following and our ratings were.

Great service and good food, although cheese board was extremely small and well overpriced. Had the mushroom risotto which was lovely. Washed it down with a gin mare which was gorgeous!

Called in for breakfast. Public car park and on street parking outside. Think there may have been one small step into the building. We waited for five minutes before a member of staff came into the restaurant from the kitchens. Service was professionally 'friendly'. The 'full breakfast' was well cooked and presented nicely but disappointing for the price. £12 for a sausage, 2x bacon, half small tomato and half a mushroom. Toasted sandwich was just toast with bacon inserted - very dry. Turned out to be an expensive breakfast but I suppose the clue was in the name - Bistro. Not enough of an experience to want to return I'm afraid.

Beautiful spot for lunch. The food was delicious, with a wide selection on the menu. The service was great, with waiters looking after us all afternoon. Highly recommend visiting anytime, a relaxing spot in a very pretty village.

In town for lunch with a friend. Stylish and comfortable restaurant. We had their toasted sandwiches which were ver good. Swiftly served and nicely presented. Very palatable white house wine. All reasonably priced for Chipping Campden

Had a delicious lunch in the beautiful garden. Very attentive service. Good menu. Good value but delicious food. Highly recommended.

I had lunch in the lovely gardens of the Cotswold House hotel with friends last weekend. The food was delicious and came very quickly. There were several waiters keeping an eye out so we could always get drinks very quickly without having to go back inside. The gardens would make a great location for an early evening drink if the suns out and you are Chipping Camden.

We love coming here for lunch in the summer as we love the garden. We went there again yesterday, but because it's still early in the season, I rang and asked if the garden was open. I was told that it was but that we would have to order in the bar and then the food would be brought to us. We had no problem with that, so we drove to Chipping Campden with the express purpose of having lunch at the Bistro.

Came here, instead of going to Huxleys, for a change. We always go to Huxleys as it is always consistently excellent, but we thought we would give another place a chance! This was a mistake. It was very, very quiet, which we thought a little odd, but we were on the early side. We were given menus by a very sweet and polite young girl. She seemed a little nervous and perhaps new, but she was really lovely. Ordered a club sandwich and my sister ordered the Brie and Bacon sandwich. The food came quickly and looked nice on the surface. Mine, to be absolutely fair, was ok, although as I continued to eat, the rind on the bacon, was so incredibly hard I am surprised I didn't break a tooth!!! This was off putting. But I just took it out and cut the rind off myself. My sister, literally had to take ALL of the bacon out of her sandwich, she said hers was disgusting. So she just ate the sandwich with the brie in it. When I asked for the bill when the waitress was clearing our plates, she could see the huge pile of bacon on my sisters plate, and asked if everything was ok, I politely told her mine was ok, but that my sister (she had gone to the loo) had really not enjoyed hers at all, and could not physically eat the bacon because of the bacon rind. She at this point said lots of people like the fat, I explained it wasn't the bacon fat that was the problem it was the rind! At which point she just said 'oh ok I'll let the kitchen know'! Her attitude was appalling. I didn't expect anything or money off, but I did not appreciate the way I was spoken too and an acknowledgement that there was a mistake might have been a more professional approach. We will not make the same mistake again and will return to Huxleys next time we are in CC.

Popped in for a coffee. Very pleasant surroundings, polite attentive staff and a shortbread biscuit too ! We enquired if a nearby N.T. garden was within walking distance It was not, but we were invited to stroll around the hotels gardens. We did and the garden was lovely. This sort of courtesy doesn't happen often. We were most impressed. The town is one of the most picturesque we visited in the Cotswold, but not heaving with tourists. It would be hard to find a better hotel in a better location.

We ate here on the first night of our two night break at the Cotswold House hotel and we weren't disappointed. The menu was well balanced with good choices for everyone. The food was beautifully cooked, service was extremely friendly and the wine choices gave options for all purses.

My fiance, parents and I came to the venue to meet with Frankie (part of the events team) regarding our upcoming wedding in October. Frankie was very accommodating and the general manager even popped in to introduce himself. Frankie then sent us an email with what we discussed within 2 hours of leaving which is very organised. We also viewed the room which were large and clean. We then had lunch, which was truly lovely, my dad who loves his traditional food cleaned his plate when he had the tandoori chicken skewers with salad (my dad doesn't eat salad). It was seasoned well and we all tried some. They recently got a 5 star for environmental health too. Can't wait for my wedding and thanks again to Frankie and Paul

We stayed in the hotel last weekend on the Ultimate Gourmet Experience. The second night included Gin Tasting and Dinner in The Bistro.

The Bistro is quality dining located in the Cotswolds House Hotel. Of the two restaurants located within the hotel, the Bistro is more casual and moderate in price. The menu is pretty broad and includes a large number of small bite or appetizer type items. There is a full bar and a good wine selection available. Service is good and entree prices are largely in the £14-18 per range.

Met friends and had lunch today at The Cotswold House Brasserie. Chipping Campden.

Was visiting the Cotswold and decided to have dinner and drinks before heading home. Great ambience and wonderfully cooked food that should be rewarded. Service was good and the cocktails are done with desire they obviously train their staff to do these correctly as most places normally cannot get it right. They have obviously spent some money on this place and look forward to trying their a la Carte restaurant next time. Thanks everyone for looking after us.

My partner and I stopped here simply for a coffee after a short walk around the town. The coffee tasted fresh, the surroundings were pleasant and the barman was smiley and polite so this place gets a thumbs up from us!

Terrible reception on arrival, no apology that our reserved table was not ready, terrible cocktails; Bloody Mary had not a celery stalk in sight and the cosmopolitans could’ve caused a fire it was so potent! When we commented on the undrinkable state some of the drinks were, Barman/waiter/manager?? offered to change them and moaned to other bar guests within eye view of our table. Tapas menu advertised nowhere to be seen; needless to say, we paid our bill and went onto the maharaja Indian restaurant which was lively, friendly, accommodating and delicious :)

Fabulous meal followed by a few delightful fragrant gins on a snowy evening - definitely recommend peppers stuffed with feta and the cheeseboard - Cotswold gin with tonic and lime and rhubarb gin with aromatic tonic and apple - delightful - service attentive would recommend

We ate here for my birthday as we were staying in the Cotswold House Hotel.
