The Hideout Cafe in Stroud

Stopped off at the Hideout Cafe for a morning coffee. Really liked the look of the yurt. Very good choice of cake and snacks so opted for the marshmallow rocky road cake which was delicious. As it was a lovely day sat outside but it is also very nice in the yurt. Lovely to see a selection of toys for young children which my friend’s great grand daughter appreciated. Staff were also very friendly.

Ordered a quick snack, very tasty, a fair price. Helpful staff . Nice grounds to sit and eat outside.

Great selection of cakes and food from snacks to light lunch. Spotlessly clean and tidy. Excellent staff and service

The awful experience here overshadowed any pleasure we might have enjoyed on our trip to Berkeley Castle. We were made to wait 45 minutes, outside in the cold, for baked potatoes. The manageress apologised for delays, but should have done much more. It was wrong to take our money at the outset without warning us that we would have to wait so long; the warning only came later when we expressed concern. She might have offered a free drink while we waited, or our money back. She argued that over a thousand people were visiting the castle that day. They certainly weren't all in the yurt; there were only 4 people ahead of us in the queue. If you cannot succeed in delivering a potato within a reasonable timeframe in an establishment claiming to serve food, there is something badly wrong. When they arrived, the baked potatoes were tolerable, but nothing more.

Found this wonderful cafe on our coach trip to Berkeley Castle. Lattes were superb, skinny decaf !! Sausage roll, warmed, big enough to share and delicious! After brilliant tour of castle went back for lunch, I had home cooked ham eggs and chips, my husband the castle burger. Freshly cooked and delicious. We then shared a slice of warmed hot cross bun, white chocolate bread and butter pudding, also home made. Best thing is you can visited without paying to go into castle!! So locals could use.
