Stayed here for one night & won't make the same mistake again.Having said that, great location near the town but that's about the best thing.Place shabby,in need of TLC,our room was poky & cold,two single beds in a space that could barely hold one single,& a tiny cold bathroom,no television.Having read rave reviews @ breakfast I was looking forward to that, but at best it was adequate & not very warm.Staff were friendly enough & room was clean but that's about it. To be honest I couldn't wait to leave.

Small does not adequately describe the room size. Two tiny single beds with a narrow gap between and a small cupboard converted to a bathroom with a sink the size of a small seashell. Nowhere to open a suitcase. We had to leave them in the car.

Claraboya encima de la cama. Toallas limpias todos los días. WiFi gratuito funcionaba que es algo grandes cadenas no pueden alcanzar.

We arrived a little late at our B&B and used the pub as it was almost next door. It was a little quiet, but the staff were friendly and the menu more traditional pub food. I had the steak and chips which was excellent, well cooked and good value. My partner had macaroni cheese which was also excellent. We were served pretty quickly and would go there again.

We stayed recently on a Satruday night and had a lovely time. We had a family room which was comfortable and spacious. The bed was comfortable and the shower amazing!! The pub is approx 5 minute's walk from town so the location is very close to everything, yet very quiet. There is no parking at the pub, but there is a public car park (Waterloo) on the road behind which is very reasonable (free after 6pm and free on Sundays). Breakfast the next morning was lovely and definitely set us up for the day. Cirencester has beautiful buildings, coupled with some lovely pubs and restaurants. We'll definitely be visiting again, and will defintely stay at the Waggon & Horses. The only thing to note is that the pub doesn't open until 5pm weekdays and is open from 12-3 and then after 5pm on Saturdays. Worth bearing in mind when considering check-in times.

Welcome was friendly on entering with my colleague. Menu was easy food after a long day and not expensive. Cosy atmosphere with a mix of patrons, from 3 different countries on our visit. Food was good with no complaints. Only question we never asked was the doors on the ceiling. But hey, every place has its little quirks. Would say it is a cosy little pub with decent food.

The food is seriously over priced. Sorry. Burger was burnt. Ciabatta bread had plastic sliced cheese which should have been mature cheddar. Also a few lessons on how to make a salad would be great as I got a plateful of rocket ( no onion, tomatoes or cucumber which makes a simple salad taste great).Staff were friendly beers great.Just a shame the restaurant side is letting it down. Wont be back.

Went with friends as we've often walked past and wondered what it's like. Food was shocking, salad consisted of rocket leaves and nothing else. When asked for salad as menu stated meal came with salad, was provided with a bowl of purple leaves and a tomato cut into quarters. The cheese on the burger was practically non existent and couldn't be tasted. I asked what cheese was used in the cheese and chutney ciabatta and was informed it was mature cheddar, this turned out to be pre packed sliced processed cheese with absolutely no flavour whatsoever. Will certainly NOT be returning and suggest no one else does either. Absolute rip off.

Following a long day touring in Dorset, my Wife and I were making our way back home to Lincolnshire, when we encountered traffic delays in Gloucestershire. As a result of these delays we decided to stop over night in the Cirencester area. We chose the Waggon & Horses, London Road, Cirencester. This establishment did not have visitors car park, but a council operated long stay car park was only 5 minutes away. This was where we left our car. On arrival at the Waggon & Horses we were immediately made welcome. The landlord noticed that I had mobility problems and he immediately changed our room to a downstairs room, without us having to ask. We were shown to our room, which was very clean and had been used as a family room, with an extra bed. The room had en-suite facilities, the shower was extremely large, which we very suitable for my mobility difficulties. On returning to the bar area, we ordered our meal from the extensive bar menu. The bar had an extensive range of craft beers and ciders, I tried the still cider and my wife had fruit cider.My wife and I chose the same meal to eat; Gloucester Old Spot pork sausages with mash potatoes and curly kale, with onion gravy as the accompaniment. The meal had excellent flavour and texture, after we had consumed our meal we retired to our room for the night.In the morning after a good and comfortable nights sleep, we took breakfast at 08:30hrs. The food available at breakfast comprised of a choice of cereals, full english breakfast, vegetarian breakfast, bread or toast accompanied with butter and a selection of jams or marmite. Drinks wise, tea and coffee was available along with orange juice. We chose two full english breakfasts.In summary, the Waggon & Horses provided very good value for money, particularly with respect to the food and drink available. The room was very clean and comfortable.

We'd come for lunch on the basis of the positive reviews for food, and that it did look like a cosy country pub. There's no car park, but you can park in the pay carpark next door, although it was full when we arrived, we didn't have to wait long to get a space.There wasn't the fire that we had hoped for, and the dining room was too cold to sit in, but the bar is nice, and the kids loved that there were doors hanging from the ceiling, and that there were games to play; very child friendly. I've given the two stars for that. However, the standard of the food in the compared to the reviews, and the pictures that they themselves advertise was shocking. Like a different place entirely. You might expect this standard in a local cafe/greasy spoon, but not at this price. We ate it (all except the still frozen faggots, which we returned), because we didn't have time to deal with anything before we had to go our separate ways - and the the children didn't mind. But would never come here for food again. I rarely give negative reviews, but I wouldn't want others to be misled as we were by the number of great reviews for food. I don't know whether there has been a change in management or cook in the meantime, but something's changed drastically. This might be a lovely local for a pint (it was empty when we were there) - but I'd recommend going elsewhere for food.

High hopes based on reviews. Beer fine and good pub games-but (a big one) standard issue microwaved pub food - massively overpriced and topped off with one dish of rock hard frozen faggots. 2 microwaves required in the kitchen to cope with an order for 7.

Stopped in for a couple of beers and some food while waiting to see a performance at the local theatre. Plus points: looks good , clean, decent enough service. Downside: waited a long time for our food once ordered (I don't often have to clock watch when eating) fish and chips was not cooked properly. Batter still raw in some places. Cold fish. Informed the member of staff. He didn't seem that bothered. I wasn't asked when paying if everything was alright (it wasn't). Would probably go back, but not to eat, nor would I recommend the food to anyone.

We stayed here for one night and some friends joined us for dinner. The accommodation was OK - it was great for one night; very clean, recently decorated, but I wouldn't choose it for a weekend away break. The very small windows, with frosted glass made the room rather oppressive and there was no TV - didn't bother us, but if I was staying there on my own, say on a business trip spending maybe more time in the room, I would be be disappointed. At the end it is a pub first with some simple accommodation.Breakfast, however was excellent - lovely food, locally sourced and served in a special little room at the back of the pub. A nice touch we felt were the cafetieres with coffee in them ready for you to fill from a couple of kettles, just when you wanted it to the strength you wanted.The bar is very cosy with a great atmosphere serving good beer - has a nice locals feel about it.We had dinner in the restaurant at the back of the pub - again, excellent food served by very pleasant staff and great value although the room itself lacked atmosphere - it looked very bare (if the tables were presented fully laid up it would make a difference).A good find and we would stay again.

We visited this restaurant quite recently following a recommendation from a local. There is nothing better than to be recommended to somewhere by someone who knows the area, and we were not disappointed. It is easy to see why this pub/restaurant has received 2 Trip Advisor Excellent awards. Immediately we entered we encountered smiling staff and everything was done to ensure we had a good visit. The only thing to detract [and this has nothing to do with the restaurant] is that there is no car park and parking in the nearby Pay and Display car park could make a difference. This did not affect us as we ate in the evening and parking at that time was free. Real ales were available however Jayne had a very pleasant house white wine. Our meals were piping hot and well cooked I had my usual fish and chips and Jayne chose just a starter of haddock fish cakes as she does not have the appetite that I do. had Jayne had more of an appetite we would have taken advantage of the "Steak Night" that was on that night. We loved Cirencester as a place to go and will no doubt make the trip there again. When we are next in Cirencester we will certainly the trot along to the Waggon and Horses.

Stayed here for a night after an evening at Made by Bob. In hindsight it probably speaks volumes that everywhere else to stay in Cirencester was fully booked with just this place left with occupancy. Should have also known better when ringing to make the booking the person answering the phone opening line was how did I get his number???Room 1 was pleasant enough with reasonable clean and tidy decor. Trouble began at 3:45am when it became apparent how terrible the sound insulation between rooms was with returning guests returning and spending the next hour talking and smoking. They weren't unreasonably loud but might as well have been staying in the same room! Oh well at least I can complete a trip advisor review....Also no parking on site. You have to use a public car park, pay for it and then walk 200 meters with all your gear...Would strongly advise you avoid staying here if you want a reasonable nights sleep!

As locals we decided to give the revamped Waggon & Horses a go for an impromptu dinner on a Thursday evening.To say we were pleasantly surprised is an understatement. Two Jesse Smiths steaks and an ok bottle of red for £35 was very good value. The succulent steaks were cooked as ordered, great handmade triple-cooked chips and a well cooked, non-greasy mushroom exceeded our expectation.Our totally chef made pudding of sorbet, chocolate brownie and honeycomb was excellent.The Waggon clearly have a chef who knows how to design, prepare and cook food to a very good standard.The staff were friendly and engaging. Service good. The decor was a bit quirky/different but not unpleasant.With different Specials offered each week day evening we will definitely return.

We last came here a couple of years ago and had a delightful Thai meal. We returned expecting much the same but then noticed it had a new chef and menu. We were sad to see the Thai gone. The food was good quality and tastes great - BUT the portions were tiny for the money. The duck was £15 and consisted of 3 tiny pieces. More like a starter ! Desserts were nice although the creme brûlée lacked flavour, the ice cream was good. I think the menu is overpriced for the portion size - it's still pub food at the end of the day!

We thought Justin would be a difficult chef to follow but the new chef has really excelled. He was second chef at The Falcon at Poulton, one of our favourite restaurants in the area. Now we can walk to good quality food and a great menu. The ambiance and service are very good too. The vegetarian option was so yummy and my husband and friend said that the salmon and burger they had were very good. We shared a ham hock pate with bacon chutney for a starter and there was ample. The thrice cooked chips were very good. It is very reasonably priced. We will be returning and are so pleased to have found a good quality local establishment who cooks from scratch.

We had 3 courses and all arrived quickly and the chocolate brownie dessert with raspberry sorbet was gorgeous, very more-ish.A few teething problems to iron out in regards to the waiting staff but very minor - forgetting a dessert spoon and spare cutlery for the starter. All staff were friendly and welcoming.Will be coming back again in the near future.

We called in here as it was quite close to where we were staying and were greeted warmly. The menu is a little limited but that's not necessarily a bad thing and we were enjoying some very nice real ales whilst we chose our food.Both opted for a pate starter which was very good and for mains I chose the rump steak, whilst my wife had the sausage and mash. Whilst her meal was a success with three very large and tasty sausages my steak, whilst cooked absolutely as requested, turned out to be difficult to eat as it was so tough. I did mention this to the landlady and she apologised and did say that they obtained their meat from the local butcher who has a very good reputation.When it came time to pay they'd taken off a round of drinks as an apology which was fine.

After meeting friends we walked to the Waggon and Horses following a brief dicussion on the reputation of some of the best pubs in town. When we walked in at about 8pm on a Friday evening the place was virtually empty apart from 4 locals clustered around the small bar making it difficult to actually be served and a couple sat having a meal in the corner. Clearly catering for the real ale market the choice of drinkable largers was limited to bottles. Looking over the menu I was suprised to see that it was very typical pub grub, Steaks, Steak and kidney, Fish and chips etc. The other suprise was the prices. £16 for a steak and a further £2 if you wanted a sauce with it!I ordered the special, Smoked Haddock and Leak Rissoto. One of my friends had a steak, and the other the fish and chips. We waited with baited breath expecting something special only to be served with what can only be described as average grub! The steak arrived, minus the sauce. That followed five minutes later. The small piece of fish was perched on a mountain of fat chips which filled the plate to overflowing. But the best of all was the rissotto. I have to say I've never had a rissotto like it. It was certainly well cooked. The mushy rice was encased in a thick, stickey cheese sauce which stuck to the roof of your mouth. The were some pieces of Haddock in there but the sickly sauce wiped out any flavour the might have been. It was easily the worst and at £12 the most expensive I have ever had. So a combination of an atmosphere which was moon like, beer that was well over priced, and food that was poor at best and far too expensive. The only reason for the second star is the friendly waitress who was unfortunate to have to serve us with the meal. The Cotswolds, and Cirencester in particular, has more than it's fair share of pretentous and over priced restaraunts and could certainly survive without one more.

We had to find somewhere to celebrate my wife’s 60th birthday and selected Cirencester as it was not too far for anyone to travel. As a venue the Waggon and Horses turned out to be ideal. We used the dining room that was separate from the rest of the building and it was perfect for a family get together. Eighteen of us fitted in with some space to spare and the buffet was really excellent. The staff were most welcoming and more than happy to oblige and the cost was more than just reasonable. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Wagon and Horses and would/will most definitely use it again.

The Waggon & Horses would not be my 1st choice for a Sunday Lunch, but my wife insisted that their new chef had made a big difference and that at under £12 it looked great value. We arrived at 1.00 and were quickly shown to a table by the bar. Gin & tonic and Bloody Mary were served while we waited for our lunch. Caroline chose the roast beef while I had the roast chicken.Just as we finished the drinks lunch arrived. Caroline's roast beef looked great but my roast chicken was the surprise as it was half a stuffed chicken, with chipolatas wrapped in bacon and 6 different vegetables! Amazing value and a real man's meal. No room for pudding although their Apple pie has a great reputation.

Really difficult to find anything good to say about my visit to the waggon & horses.Firstly I found it very odd that a pub would choose not serve any draft larger. Not a massive issue but certainly something I would generally expect when visiting a pub!The menu looked nice and offered a good variety of options. Unfortunately every main course ordered was simply horrible. Tough, inedible beef, uncooked veg, dishes containing more fat & gristle than actual meat. Service was equally poor. Main courses delivered 10 mins apart & a just a general lack of any form of service at all.It was clear that things have gone majorly downhill since change in ownership & I certainly won't be returning back here again. A massive let down!

Arranged an evening out with friends for a Saturday evening. Pre-booked a table for 7.30pm. Ordered drinks, pub had a good range of beers but no draught lager, only bottled. Shown to our seats in a very tasteful restaurant. Meal order taken, and then we waited waited waited and waited some more. Our meals finally arrived 50 minutes after ordering and 1 hour later than our pre-booked time. There was a large party in the restaurant at the same time as our party and several tables in the bar area had also been reserved for diners. However, as we had pre-booked I find it unacceptable to wait this long. At no time did anyone apologise for the delay. The two waiting staff appeared to be college students working a Saturday job. Although I find it encouraging that students like to work while being educated, they lacked leadership from the experienced staff. All that said the standard of the food was excellent and had the service matched the food it would have received five stars. In my opinion, eating out should be the whole experience I consequently have scored it average. I would return as the food was first class, but the service would have to be better for me to become a regular diner.

Celebrated my in laws 50th wedding anniversary here today. We were a party of 15. The food was absolutely amazing. Great choice, very generous portions and fantastic quality. The food was Timely served and piping hot. Between us we had a variety of the Sunday roasts and meals from the regular menu. ALL were super. The waitresses were great, friendly and efficient. We were made to feel very welcome on our arrival. Lots of real ales were available at the bar. We will definitely be visiting again.

My Mum and I both chose the goats cheese, mushroom and spinach filo pastry tart with veg (green beans, spinach and new potatoes), followed by the cheese board to share. It was delicious and very good value. This is a pub that needs more publicity :-)

I've just moved to the area and this place is at the end of my road. I liked the look of the menu and the welcome was good. It was down hill from there. The food was barely edible. Tuna fish cakes with hollandaise sauce was tinned tuna mush in a sea of butter with soggy spinach. The fish cakes were also burnt. The chef apologised. He accepted the good was unacceptable however the bill was presented in its entirety. No apology or attempt to make things right. I will never go there again and certainly wouldn't recommend it.

We visited here as were staying close by. Apparently it used to be a thai restaurant but now it serves good quality food which we thoroughly enjoyed. My husband had ribeye steak and I had venison, both perfectly cooked and the service was very hospitable too. I would recommend rather than the hubbub of central Cirencester

the wife and I stayed here for five days in late august.it is a great base for exploring the Cotswolds.the room was clean and tidy and fresh towels were provided everyday.the food is excellent and the landlord and chef are great fellas.there is a carpark diagonally left to the b&b which is only 2 pound a day.you get a great cooked breakfast in the morning of your choice which is delicious.cirencester is a quaint little place nice for couples who like a quiet life.while we there we visited bourton-on-the-water which is well worth a visit,a river runs right through the middle of the village and there are lots of little places to enjoy a nice cream tea.it also has a scale model of the village which is just magical.and there is also a bird sanctuary which is worth the seven pounds,and there is a little pen where the children can pet the rabbits tortoises and lizards.all in all a very enjoyable stay will definetly return one day.

Típico pub inglés, con clientela local. Muy amables, tanto los camareros como los clientes. La cocina está abierta hasta relativamente tarde, lo que se ajusta más a los horarios de los españoles, aunque nosotros no cenamos allí.

We stayed here for two weeks visiting family and found the staff and accommodations to be charming! The rooms are newly converted from stables and the bathrooms are small, but thoroughly modern with an excellent shower. The full English breakfast was complimentary and the comical and friendly chef was willing to prepare a to order breakfast for those wishing something different. We also ate here for dinner on several occasions and found the food to be prepared with fresh local ingredients. Would definitely recommend. Glad we stayed here.

Dave, the pub owner, is a lovely cheery character and very proud of his award winning ales and whiskeys on offer. The food is lovely (albeit no beans or veggie sausages for breakfast - what's all that about??) Fairly large and modern internal pub, friendly and relaxing. Can be quiet on a Saturday night if you want to chill out with a cold one, rather than go out on the tiles, they even had some John Coltrane on when I stayed there after a busy Saturday. The food is very tasty, but the veg provided for the Sunday roast is a little mean and could do with being a tad more generous. What I really liked was the Rik Mayall tributes (courtesy of a certain real ale brand) placed amongst the many beer tap labels lovingly strewn around the walls.

The Landlord, bar staff and the chef were all very welcoming with time to chat. The bar area has a traditional feel, like a proper pub, with a lovely dining area and a good selection of real ales. There were some lovely touches,such as small appetisers before the meal and a palette cleanser presented at the end. Food was delicious and the menu interesting and varied. All in all, well worth a visit if you are feeling thirsty or peckish in Cirencester.

Having wanted to try this place for a while we went for dinner last night.. The Thai chef has returned to Thailand and so now the menu is more standard steaks, burgers etc.In summary poor, slow service because the waitress was also serving at the bar, potted rabbit starter was a small pot of rabbit cubes in a ramekin full of oil ( although in fairness the chicken livers were well cooked), for main a burger which was sent back after one bite, and sausages and invisible mash in a bowl full of unappetising gravy..No thanks

The signs outside showed change - no longer a Thai chef but a new menu with a local chef. I also noted the sign saying "no TV, no World Cup" - that sounded like a peaceful evening on offer!The restaurant is behind the bar and on the way through to the B&B rooms. Alternatively there is a side entrance for direct access to restaurant and B&B. The menu is very much a restaurant menu rather than bar snacks but meals may be served in the bar.There is a good range of food including meat, fish, vegetarian and weekly specials. I felt that the menu was more interesteing than many which just have all the currently fashionable dishes.All the usual bar drinks are stocked and there is a wine list of about 20 wines providing a reasonable selection.Service was friendly and there was a warm welcome - we plan to return.

I've visited here before and, while the Thai has never come close to the Thai Emerald down the road, the burgers were good. My recent experience suggests that things have gone down with the new chef. The rice was almost porridge-like, the curry sauce lacked any complex spices and it was all just not worth the prices. I won't be back - will head to the more authentic Thai Emerald next time.

We were staying for the weekend at the Waggon and Horses in the newly refurbished rooms at the back of the pub. On Saturday evening our group of about 18 people ate privately in the room which is also used for breakfast for those staying (so not in the main restaurant area). Despite the size of our group, and the main restaurant being busy, the orders were taken efficiently, and the food came more quickly than I'd feared, and was hot. We mainly ordered from the main Thai part of the menu, rather than the English alternatives. All our group enjoyed their meals - which for a large group with a few choosy eaters, is very positive feedback!

It's OK, but nothing special. The restaurant part was actually closed when we arrived (in fairness about 9pm) so sat at the bar. The locals were friendly, but some more drunk than others, which became a little tedious and off-putting. We had the Thai food, which was average.

I didn't like the waiter as he was a bit slow and seem to play around just a bit.. also I think the landlord should give the staff a uniform code.. as a waiter/waitress they shouldn't be wearing jeans I have seen staff at other restaurant with uniform they look neater and smarter.. overall it wasn't bad but was't brilliant

No room at many of the inns on 31 December, but luckily we visited the wagon and horses. Though the Thai chef was on holiday, so no restaurant or take away available, we were presented with a steady stream of Thai hors d'oeuvres free of charge. They were lovely as was the warm welcome we received from the owner and staff.I have no problem giving this pub/restaurant a high rating. Beer was very well kept as well.

A landlord who generally cares about his beers and clientele. The Thai style food is very well cooked and nicely presented by a star chef and waiting staff. The landlord has made a welcoming and friendly pub out of an awkward building. Hopefully in the future a micro brewery and some Thai style street food banquets could be an option ?

From the outside the Waggon and Horses looks like a traditional English pub and the bar has lots of character. It is very inviting especially with a log fire to warm up by in the Winter, and the Ales are excellent. The real surprise is the delicious Thai food - we really enjoyed our meal which was very good, full of flavor and spices. A great place to combine excellent Ales and Thai food.

My partner and I have eaten in the restaurant before and the Thai food was gorgeous! We had a takeaway this evening that was just awful! We ordered 2 starters, both priced between £5-6.50, the chicken satay was just chicken, no satay sauce! The fish cakes were very small and dry, again they did not come with any sauce (as advertised). The chicken in the main courses was also very dry and chewy- unfortunately most of it ended up in the bin! Such a shame as we have previously thoroughly enjoyed it and recommended it to others!

The Waggon and Horses provides a rare combination of good food (Thai and English), good beer and wine, and a relaxed atmosphere. There's a restaurant style room at the back if you want a more formal atmosphere, or you can eat at the bar and chill out with a pint or two.Although it all feels relaxed, it's well decorated and cosy - lovely old building with a good fire and excellent bar!I've also been here in larger groups, and we've been given the use of a lovely converted barn located in the pub garden. This has been great, you feel like it's an exclusive party and don't have to worry about disturbing other diners. Very cosy and there's even an iPod speaker dock so you can play your own tunes.Lovely place - a jewel.

From the outside this looks just like an ordinary pub. You walk in and it's a pub. But through the back they serve really tasty Thai food! We didn't book a table but if we'd turned up any later than we did, we wouldn't have got a seat - it was packed! There were a couple of large parties in so it was very busy and noisy but all the food was still cooked perfectly and arrived in good time. Starters and main meals were both very very good and the waitress (who served the whole restaurant on her own!) was very friendly too. Would happily go back there for more!

It's funny having a Thai restaurant inside a traditional pub, but it works well. The service was good & so was the food. There was a good Thai menu & you could make it as mild or spicy as you like. The couple next to us has ordered burgers from the English selection & they looked like good quality homemade ones. A great place for a group with mixed tastes.The portions were quite large so unfortunately we didn't have room for puddings. Maybe next time!

A traditional English pub with a twist. With Thai chefs, the food at the Waggon is fantastic. Very varied menu and cooked fresh to order so you can choose how spicy you prefer your dish. We often eat here as a group and are either in the main dining room or the barn, which is perfect for private parties. Service is attentive without being too much - waiting staff always available when you need them. Will definitely eat here again and even order a takeaway.

Can't resist a poor Thai pun, me. Anyhoo, where are all the people of Cirencester on a Saturday night? The pubs were all very quiet and the both the restaurant side and pub side of the Waggon & Horses were very quiet indeed, considering it was about 9.30 on the bank holiday weekend. I was intrigued at the prospect of a pub with a Thai restaurant in the back, but I was a bit concerned that it was very quiet when we arrived. This often means somewhere just ain't no good, but apparently this is just normal for Cirencester. We ordered fishcakes and tempura vegetables to start, and bother were very tasty. The fishcakes nicely spiced and fresh tasting, the batter on the vegetables extremely light and tasty. For mains, we has a prawn pad thai and Singapore noodles. My noodles were tasty and had a reasonable heat kick, but the pad thai was drenched is sweet chili sauce which wasn't really what was expected of a pad thai.It was a mixed bag on a slightly odd evening - I just don't think pleasant pub and Thai restaurant live well together in the same building. It was nice, but I didn't feel I was getting an authentic Thai experience, I'm afraid

Visited this place as it received good reviews here.Was not disappointed.Good choice of thai meals,most for around £10.We sat outside as we had our dog with us,it was ok there but seating is to the side of the pub and busy traffic outside due to central location and close proximity to traffic lights.Back to the food,we chose a red chicken curry and mixed meats with Singapore rice noodles.Both were delicious and we were asked how hot we wanted the curry as it would be prepared to suit us.Staff were very friendly and attentive.Overall I would definitely recommend this pub if you are in the area and enjoy thai food.Other people were eating english food and this too looked good.Deserves its position in the list of restaurants in the area.

Although I wasn't sure at first about the combination of Thai food and a British pub, but this was recommended to us by our B&B hosts, so we gave it a shot and haven't regretted it.Very good authentic Thai food in a nice atmosphere. Attentive service. Also good for groups of people where not everyone necessarily likes Thai food, as there are British options on the menu as well.

We were staying in South Cerney for the week and came across this restaurant on the way into Cirencester. I had seen reviews on tripadvisor so we decided to give it a try. 2 adults and 2 young children (4 and 2) so probably not their target market but the service we received was excellent. The waitress couldn't do enough for us and made a real fuss of the children. We all went for the Thai menu and it was excellent - genuinely among the best I have had outside Thailand. The kitchen made slight changes to the food for the kids but it was still very tasty and the portions were full adult portions despite the price being a fraction of the adult price! On the subject of prices, they are very reasonable, about a tenner for a main course.We enjoyed it so much we returned again on our last evening. A different waitress but equally friendly and attentive. Food was just as delicious as the first visit.On each occasion there was only one other couple in the restaurant - admittedly it was quite early when we were there so it may get busy later on. I can't imagine it isn't popular.On the basis of the food and the service this place deserves to be full every night. I just wish our local pub served such good Thai food!

% min walk from city centre.Separate dining room at back of pub. We were told that the chef was Thai and this showed in the food, which was lovely. The bar staff also served in the restaurant, which I felt should have been busier given the quality of the food. Our waitress was sensitive to our needs and very apologetic when a group of rather noisy customers arrived. Good range of real ales in the pub, but only one type of white wine by the glass, but then this was a 'proper' pub rather than a gastropub..
