The Frogmill Inn in Cotswold

Visited Frog Mill on Thu 17th Oct for dinner. Having a new baby we arrived a little early to ensure we were able to get a table with enough room for the buggy. We settled down for a lovely evening, the food was brilliant, really nice atmosphere, but what made the experience was the amazing waitress, Milly, not only was she super friendly and made us feel really welcome, she also took to our baby and made us feel relaxed. If everyone had customer service skills like Milly, the world would be a better place!

We went for afternoon tea as we were passing through and had the most wonderful experience. The place itself is beautiful and the staff were wonderful. I’ll definitely be visiting again and recommending to my friends. The young brunette female manager(?) was super kind and helpful and definitely made the visit worthwhile

Great selection of dishes which were all delicious. The service was quick and welcoming. Georgie and Millie were exceptional.

As locals we are regulars at the Frogmill and whilst we accept that there are limited areas to have just a drink at, we usually find a seat be it at the bar, sofa area or at a table before the reserved dinner reservation. Perhaps upstairs could be made more available when it is free from private events to help cater for those not eating. We've eaten here many times in recent months and together with friends and family have had really positive dining experiences on each occasion. We find the staff to be friendly, very helpful and eager to please, Sarah in particular stands out with her infectious personality !! The menu caters for all and the recent offering of the vegan mushroom pie and root veg mash was a big hit with vegetarians and meat eaters alike. We're looking forward to trying the new menu very soon.

I've been regularly going to the Frogmill since it re-opened after its refurbishment a few years ago. I've tolerated its teething problems, enjoyed its hospitality, and recently got to the end of my tether with its snobbery, apathy, and ineptitude. On more than one occasion my friends and I have been ejected from the bar as the table we've been sitting at has become "needed for diners", despite no sign of reservation - and despite an empty restaurant. More recently the staff have been poorly selected and/or trained. We went for a meal a few weeks ago and our young waitress (very young, plaited hair) was singularly disinterested in our wellbeing. Initially, there was another waitress who settled us down and took our orders, who was brilliant. However, things went downhill fast. The same disinterested staff member effectively ejected us from our table this evening with a shrug of the shoulders. She's either very poorly trained, or has no people skills, I don't know but our treatment was terrible. I won't be going back, I've forgiven and forgiven, but the place is now no longer a nice place to visit. This evening it was like a creche. I fear that there are enough rich idiots to keep the place going, so my opinion won't matter at all, but felt compelled to write. This place isn't a pub - I'm not sure what it is any more.

Some positives and some negatives. Starting with the positives... the location was lovely, I was part of a large group and we were located in a separate room where we could easily chat together, the food came out punctually and my sticky date pudding was superb. On the negative side... the person who had booked was charged a deposit for each person attending. When it came to payment at the end, it was a real mess. It had been agreed in writing with the Frogmill that each person attending would pay the organiser back their deposit and the Frogmill would therefore deduct this deposit from each person's bill (because the Frogmill had already received this money from the organiser). However, the waitress wanted to charge everyone the full price of their meal and we had to get the manager involved - it still took about 15 minutes to resolve. This soured a really enjoyable evening. Other negatives were that several of us ordered the fisherman's pie and found it very dry. Also, the Frogmill don't accept any cash payments.

As local Cheltenham residents we are always on the lookout for good local pub destinations. We have been to the Frogmill on various occasions and recently traded up drinks for dinner. Really very impressed. Salt and pepper squid, wagyu burger and miso cod - all genuinely excellent. Top notch pub food in a stylish cosy environment. Food was fresh, hot, delicious and came out quickly. Service efficient and friendly. The garden and interiors both lovely. This is definitely worth a visit

Wonderful dinner and service. Great food, Bea, the manager is absolutely wonderful and friendly. Great service and food

The food was fabulous - we booked a dining table but as the evening was beautful we asked if we could sit outside and we were told, yes. The drawback was that we seem to get forgotten about. After we finished our main, we sat there for 15 minutes (not an exaggeration, timed it) with our empty plates laid out, waiting for someone to take them away and offer us desserts. Plenty of waiters and waitresses around but they all seemed to just bypass us. Eventually I had to say something to someone. We sat on a table near a plant pot and there were many occasions where waiters and waitresses tripped up on the pot, or bumped into our chairs trying to squeeze round. I moved the chairs but still didn't help. I felt sorry for the waiting staff, but afetr a while it was also quite irritating for us as well! All that said the food and the environment here is really gorgeous and we had a lovely relaxed meal out. We'd happily go back again.

Had a terrible experience from start to finish! The mussels were overcooked and watery and tasted of nothing but grit! I had the venison for mains which took 45 minutes to come out I asked why the wait was so long and was told that in other words the chefs were Indian and didn’t have a clue what they was doing. This shocked me a bit I didn’t really know what to say! My server was grace who was excellent up untill she made that comment. Was very disappointed and will not be returning.

Took my daughter for a birthday treat having had a lovely lunch here back in the summer. Did not disappoint. We arrived early but our table was free so we were shown through. All the staff were friendly and helpful, attentive but not hovering. The food was delicious. It was so filling we had to take the cake home with us. Reasonable price. Would highly recommend.

We booked the restaurant for lunch.We were stating at Holme Lacey and this was a great place to stop. The menu was extensive. The lunch was amazing.I had the scotch egg and burger,my husband had the cauliflower wings and the Venison. The food was absolutely fantastic. We were served by Bea,who was so friendly and attentive. I would diffinately recommend to everyone.

Recently visited the Frogmill for a fantastic Sunday roast courtesy of a recommendation from a friend. The cozy atmosphere, paired with a perfectly cooked roast, made for a delightful dining experience. I highly recommend the roast beef! Special thanks to Elliott, our waiter. His recommendations and warm demeanor added a personal touch that made the experience even more enjoyable! The frogmill is a gem for anyone looking for a delicious roast in a warm and cosy setting. I will definitely be back again!

While staying at The Frogmill, we visited the restaurant for dinner twice. The food was outstanding and the service, provided by Bea was exceptional. The atmosphere is lovely. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

A truly Cotswold experience, a beautiful old mill set in a lovely garden with a picturesque stream running through it. Good variety of dishes on the menu, and the food is presented well. The bar stocks a wide range of beers, spirits and other drinks. The bar area is cosy and the staff are welcoming, I have to mention Elliott who served us and is very friendly. We will definitely be visiting again.

I booked The Frogmill for my husband's 50th birthday party. From the initial booking to the dinner itself, I cannot fault The Frogmill. I wanted to book the alcove but it was booked. Fortunately for me it became available and was called to be offered it. The link sent out to the guests to preorder was excellent, and the night itself went very smoothly..the food the drinks and staff were all great. Would definitely recommend it for a large group.

Went for Sunday lunch the service was spot on the Sunday roast was a good one the plates hot as I had asked for my thing the beef was tender as where the meats on the 3 meat roast all in all a lovely lunch my only downside the vegetable I would say no more than a tablespoon full of carrots peas and tiny bit of shredded cabbage I think they should give a little more vegetables and more seasonal variety

To all the wonderful staff and management. Thank you for making my granddaughters bithday so fantastic great food and service. Scott

My partner and i dine yesterday at the Frogmill, was bit wait to be seated. The food was delicious we had the Squid, Cauli wings to start and we enjoyed the confit duck and the risotto, Lemon meringue pie was outstanding. kat was our waiter she was amazing. We will be back soon.

Ate in the restaurant. Staff were not ready when we arrived and we waited 15 minutes for any attention. Asked for some bread for the table of 6, and got 4 pieces of toasted break without any butter. Staff were inattentive and undertrained, and had a merry conversation about a family member rather than serve us. Waitress was pleasant enough but everything was very functional and not what the prices demanded. Worst of all was the confit duck which was excessively salty to the point of being inedible. My honest assessment - they think they are better than they really are - I would suggest looking elsewhere. Finally, as we left, two busloads of people arrived - we got out just in time.

We had two evening meals at Frogmill. The food was delicious - meats cooked to perfection, tasty sides and lovely presentation. Staff were friendly too. Would definitely recommend and revisit.

Came here for an afternoon tea. Lovely setting restaurant was very pram friendly. Staff were attentive afternoon tea was delicious they even catered for a diary free option too.

Quite seriously the best lunch out we’ve ever had. We came here for Sunday lunch which was also our first meal out together as a married couple! The service was super quick and friendly, she didn’t give us her name but our waitress had brown hair and said she lived local- whoever you are you were SO LOVELY! She even sorted us with a chocolate ‘congratulations’ plate with mango sorbet. The roast was crazy good- we both had the serloin which was cooked so well and there was plenty of it, veg was amazing, kept getting little bursts of garlic I think from the crispy roasties which was incredible. We also had the cauliflower which wasn’t really saucy like most it was so balanced and didn’t weigh down the rest of the veg. We aren’t usually dessert people but we finished with the apple tart which was more like a flan/sponge base but don’t change it please it surpassed any apple tart I’ve had before and the crème anglaise- the goddamn crème anglaise. I could’ve drank it with a straw. Only bad side from this place is that we are from Northumberland and all our local roast spots are now ruined. Thankyou for a lovely meal! Josie and Archie

All 6 of us ordered 3 Cote De Boeuf, despite this being a demanding order with a very busy evening ahead of them, the chefs and front of house staff were superb. Georgie, Lulu and Sarah were very attentive and patient! Spoke with Matt, the GM, the end of the night, what a charming young man! Thank you all.

One of the worst meals we have had for a few years. My wife had tempura battered crab. The disgusting batter was thick, soggy and doughy, sent it back. My tuna was very fatty and a low quality piece, difficult to cut and it was raw, sent it back and it returned totally overcooked and like rubber Rest of the party had finished eating by the time I started my tuna Waited 1 hr between starter and main, took 20 mins to pay the bill Lovely surroundings, spoilt by a very poor experience

In my local pub, the staff actually look you in the eye when serving you.. if you’re expecting me to pay £17.50 for a glass of wine, that would have been especially appreciated!

Fantastic roast lunch, for both vegan and meat lovers. The interior always creates a great atmosphere for a sophisticated, country chic Cotswold pub. Great service from our waitress Amber. Definitely will be returning.

A very underwhelming afternoon tea sadly, beautiful surroundings and lovely dining room but that's where it ends. A very blunt waitress with no hosting skills asked if we wanted anything while we waited er yes a drink please! Brought out the afternoon tea with no...

Very good, Ollie was super and very attentive despite it being such a busy evening 100% would come back again Matt has curated a wonderful venue and I can’t wait to see what it has in store moving forward

The Frogmill is such a lovely venue in a very pretty setting Top notch service and food Can’t wait to go back again soon!

Brilliant service, amazing food and overall welcoming. Excellent evening meal celebrating my mums birthday! Will definitely be returning!

Had a lovely evening with my friends for dinner. Was served by the lovely Georgie and Izzy H, thank you very much

1st visit for Sunday lunch all in all a lovely lunch in a nice restaurant the drinks where slow in coming but the food hot fresh and lovely and offered more roast potatoes if we wanted them

Amazing staff, location and food. We had afternoon tea, it was amazing value, bottomless tea / coffee / hot chocolate! Georgie and Holly were our servers and were very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Amazing find and we will be back, thank you x

There were four of us and when we arrived we were slightly concerned as it was very, very busy. However, having looked at the menu we thought there was a great selection on offer - not just the traditional Sunday Lunch options, there were others...

Lovely food, great cocktails and even had treats for the dog! Relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to Sarah for amazing service.

We had a wonderful experience at Frogmill Restaurant. The steak meals were delicious, cooked to perfection. The lemon meringue dessert was a highlight. Our server, Amber, provided excellent service. Can't wait to visit again!

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Served by Amber who was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend

Great venue, amazing food and friendly and attentive staff. Well worth a visit. Special thanks to Amber.

Fabulous food, lovely service, beautiful hotel. We got married here 10 years ago, and re-visited for our anniversary. The staff were lovely, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was fab. Georgie & Lulu served us, they were very personable and helpful.

Food is very overrated Very over priced For what you get Breakfast comes out cold We sent our breakfast back which took a hour to come back Not run at all well!!!!!!! Lovely building but run by people who really do not understand the food...

Lovely restaurant with great service from Georgie and Lulu, the Camembert was absolutely awesome! Overall the food was amazing and in a lovely location. We will definitely be back soon.

Love this hotel but cleanliness in the bathroom could have been better. All of the staff that we met were friendly and a credit to the hotel.

My husband and I booked a lunch reservation as a birthday treat for him. Disappointing outcome making it a ‘memorable’ experience (as claimed on the website) but for the wrong reasons. We both ordered steaks with broccoli as a side. When the meal arrived the...

Very disappointing food and service. Waited ages at dinner and at breakfast - despite having been asked to request food in advance for dinner. Breakfast consisted of toast that wasn’t toasted at all. A tomato salsa with chives and olive oil was non existent and...

This my 3rd visit never let me down, the Roast dinner was exceptional. we enjoyed the sun in terrace, superb place for a cozy meal.

Die Erfahrung im Restaurant war leider nicht so gut. Ziemlich unfreundlich. Als wir dann 2 items auf der Rechnung gefunden...

Third time going here...one mediocre experience, two bad. Two were not by choice, and would never go again. - Booked a table, 15 minutes to be seated (or even acknowledged. A 'with you in a minute' or 'sorry for the wait' goes a long way)...

What a picturesque location, beautiful stone Cotswold buildings, running water, and an excellent outside terrace. Food was very good but I did remove a star for the service, which did not live up to the other elements (food missing / delayed and the no cutlery,...

Great food, friendly service. Had an amazing time catching up with friends. I would highly recommend it!

We had a three course meal each when we stayed here for our anniversary. We both opted for the squid to start, which was delicious. Then my partner had pork for her main and I had a sirloin steak with king prawns off the Special's...

The frogmill is a lovely place and amber was great. The food wasn’t as good as we had hoped and had to be sent back to be reheated. However the service and atmosphere was good

We attended on Easter Sunday and sat in the bar area and it was busy. We had roast beef, roast chicken and a fish pie which are priced quite high at £17.95. Unfortunately the quality of food wasn’t great - the portion sizes are small,...

We’ve just had the worst roast dinner we’ve ever ordered in a restaurant. There was nothing “roasted” about the roast potatoes, they were basically boiled. They did come round an offer us extra potatoes so we accepted some crispier looking ones but they tasted like...

The venue is stunning and very well decorated. The waitresses were attentive and helpful. The food, wow, what a let down! Bland, tasteless and very over priced for the quality. We ordered the wagyu burger which was dry, over cooked and incredibly basic (big slices...

I was pleasantly surprised by the politeness and professionalism of Lara, who tended to my friends and I during our meal. Her smile and happy temperament made this visit a delightful experience along with the fantastic food of course! 🍴

The food was outstanding, the service by our waitress Lara was sublime and will be recommending to all friends and family.

Really lovely Friday night impromptu supper … Sarah was brilliant and very attentive … Food was excellent and a table in the bar made for a great vibe. We will definitely be back soon …

Sarah and the staff were lovely. I had the fish pie which was lush, lemon meringue was very marsh mellowy 😍 oh yes and the truffle nuts are nut tastic! we will be back 🥰

Third visit; chosen by a colleague (not my first choice at all). Food is “ok”, nothing special and relatively overpriced. Waldorf salad with chicken had a meagre portion of chicken. Colleagues ciabatta was ok. Menu lacks something; there is a restaurant and a bar with...

Wonderful evening with attentive non intrusive staff, meal was excellent as always special mention to Electra for her friendly service.

Lovely food, gorgeous surroundings and attentive service from Michal, Katarina and Electra. Kids were given activity packs, relaxed atmosphere for family gatherings.

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at the Frogmill. We hadn’t booked so were seated in the bar area which has a nice and cosy feel. Lara was very attentive and the menu and food were great. Menu offers pub classics and some more elevated options too....

Thank you katarina and michal for the amazing service at lunch today. As always, the service and food were excellent.

Freddie & Mimi sorted me out with a bottle of Special Effects (which I add does not result in any special effects!). Great service from this friendly, happy duo. This place is ahead of the curve with low and no alcohol beers and I’ll certainly...

Great service by Amber. Very attentive and very friendly. Food was lovely and well presented. This needs to be 100 characters so just typing now.

Called in with a family party of 6 and were lucky to secure an early-evening table. It's a traditional Cotswold Inn going back hundreds of years with many of the original features still present, although there have been lots of extensions and additions in order...

Fantastic roast dinner, everything was cooked beautifully and my gluten intolerance was well catered for - it might be the only time I’ve ever had a GF Yorkshire pudding when eating out! Our server Kat was very friendly & attentive and looked after us well,...

Beautiful hotel and restaurant in glorious surroundings. Hugely tempted by the Sunday roasts, but instead as a couple, we went for the beetroot risotto and the 8oz wagyu burger. Both looked stunning and tastes just as good. Clearly made with the very best of ingredients....

Had a lovely celebratory Sunday lunch. Lots of choice and very attentive staff. Nicole looked after us very well. Thank

We came here to meet up with friends for lunch as a central location for us all. Alway superb food and service from Michal & Kat. Great atmosphere & location. Highly recommended!

Lovely place, great food and atmosphere, Katrina and Michal provided great service! Real ale and wine very good too. Thanks.

Beautiful property with plenty of parking, plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and a feeling of space. We were warmly welcomed and sorted quickly with drinks. I was driving so it was good to see a no/low alcohol drink selection. Had a lovely alcohol free...
