The best restaurants in Tetbury Cotswold South West

We recently moved to Tetbury and heard some good mumbles about the Woolpack and having the first Sunday off in ages my husband I booked a table online for Sunday lunch. We booked 3pm as it stated online it was open until 4pm. In the morning we had an emailed confirmation as well as a phone call to confirm. At 2.500m we duly arrived expecting a lovely roast, a nice bottle of wine and we even discussions en route of pudding- we were looking forward indeed! However we never got to order anything as the front of house lady advised that the kitchen was now closed and there was no record of our booking , my husband showed her the reservation and explained tge call earlier. A discussion then ensued between her and the chef whether we were correct as if we were being doubted. She did however apologise but we certainly got the impression from the open kitchen that the Chef had seen the opportunity to clean up and get away early and he wasn’t budging. I’m not a negative TA winger but at 3pm on a Sunday it was impossible to find another venue for lunch and we were really disappointed. I feel in this current climate the management should be aware that staff or notably the Chef is dictating their profitability. It would not have been an issue to move our table to earlier in the service to suit him but just to cancel a reservation is exceptionally poor. I have given two stars as I thought the ambience was very nice and I do think the woman server dealt with the situation as well as she could but they have lost some potentially good local customers I’m afraid.

Having just returned from a short break in the Cotswolds would highly recommend the Close Hotel in Tetbury. The hotel & rooms are lovely and well kept, the food was great and the staff were wonderful...... what more do you need?

It doesn't seem to exist anymore

We did stay here already few times and for sure will go back. Room was superb, the pub has great food and drink offer. See you soon! Ciao!

All lovely staff and very delicious food! I especially love the black bean dishes, the Singapore chow mein and satay sauce. The cooks are very friendly and welcoming. 10/10 recommend going here

Fantastic service received by Ben - thank you

Terribly overpriced, over £4 for a weak flat white, fish finger sandwich made with very average supermarket style bread containing basic fish fingers. Two sandwiches and two coffees = £36, including a 10% service charge ! Really poor value for money, very limited pretentious menu. The staff were friendly and the place has a nice ambiance. I won’t be returning due to poor menu, weak coffee, and silly prices.

Staying in beautiful Tetbury and was recommended Cafe53… my husband and I walked in at 11:35 hoping for breakfast we were told that breakfast finished at 11:45 the brunch would begin at 12:00… after deciding what we were having (but knew we couldn’t order before 12) we were then told at 11:55 that the chef has decided not to do brunch and will now continue with the lunch menu only! No apology no explanation, the team were rude and awkward for no reason… I would’ve thought at this time of year you couldn’t afford to turn away customers! It was their loss as we then went to a fantastic restaurant with fantastic service, Blue Zucchini, a real gem!!!

Sadly the proprietors are retiring after 16 years in house.Old customers will mourn the demise of supercharged French Onion soup and all the other favourites on the menu. Many thanks

Really friendly and attentive service with delicious jacket potatoes and homemade cakes. Definitely will go back - can recommend.

Up and coming place. Lovely chef, with great ideas for the place. Worth a visit. Had Sunday lunch, which was very nice. Good value for money. Can't wait to see what they can do..!! Well done!

I call it Little Haven in Tetbury! I go there on most days that it is open and love their freshly made coffee. Lovely manager there too who is very friendly and kind!

We stayed at the hotel and had a deal for breakfast and a £30 meal supplement each for one night through Secret Escapes. We then booked another night ourselves through the hotel and got a great deal, with a cream tea, £25 meal supplement each and breakfast. We also got given the most terrific room for the 2nd night which had a fourposter and it really did make our stay. Thanks to all the staff at the Snooty Fox, but in particular Cris who seemed to be on reception and man of all talents in the dining room also. We do feel he went above to make sure we had the best stay possible. Also thank you to Angie who was so helpful also. We love Tetbury, there is so much to visit nearby so we will definitely be back again.

Been a long time since I've been back to tetbury but barman and staff was absolutely amazing can't thank them enough for looking after are party the separate function room and food absolutely amazing

This small restaurant is a gem. Have been here 4 times this year and each time has been superb. Only had takeaways as I live so close. The Dhansak is delicious as is the Patia. Side dishes are tasty and breads are excellent. Portion sizes are fair and it is not expensive. Will one day dine in but doesn’t have a drinks licence so bring your own. Only has about 20 covers and is tiny ! Very lucky to have this Indian in Tetbury. Average spend for two about £25-£30. Highly recommended..
