The best restaurants in Three Rivers Cotswold South West

My wife and I came here for a coffee to start our day. We shared some sourdough toast with butter and jam, while I had a cortado and my wife ordered a chai. We headed out into the garden and took a seat in the morning sun. The toast was excellent – butter and jam may be simple, but it’s always a winner. My cortado was very good, and if we’d stayed longer I’d definitely have had another. My wife, who’s something of a chai enthusiast, didn’t enjoy her drink, unfortunately. We spent around 45 minutes playing a card game before heading off, and overall it was a lovely, relaxing way to begin the day.

Superb! Haddock and chips along with pie 👌 Traditional pub but keeping up with the times. Brilliant pub and service, a rarity.

Very friendly place and staff it's a must go

Sunday Roast was amazing Great country pub tucked away in the Cotswold Dog Friendly Staff friendly Good service Good ales Recommend ........................

We were staying a very short walk from the pub in a cottage for a visit to the races at Cheltenham. Having already booked our dinner reservation on the Friday some of us who were early arrivals popped in for a drink on the Thursday evening. We were welcomed straight away and did not feel out of place not being locals. When we returned for dinner the following evening we were remembered and welcomed warmly again. Such friendly staff and service, great selection of food on the menu and an extensive wine list! We all enjoyed our meals and had a lovely chat with the staff before leaving. We have booked the cottage for next years festival and we will definitely visit the Black Horse again!

We had a cheeky weekend break in our camper and found this lovely, proper country pub. We both had a meal and could find no fault with either meal. The beer was well kept, the licencees welcoming and the obvious regulars friendly. Dog friendly, though we left our terrierists in the van. Food area in the main away from the bar, so diners get the pleasant experience of not having other customers traipsing by, unless of course you choose to dine in the bar which we did. If I lived closer it would definitely be a regular haunt.

What a lovely experience to follow the two horror stories of dining I’ve had locally recently. An example of doing the basics well. Great service, great atmosphere, great staff and a simple food menu. As a group of 6 we had a smattering of mains from all over the menu. From the chicken to the beef burgers to the fabulous chips and thoughtful side salad and garnish not a single negative comment could be made. Tasty, well cooked and portioned well. I’ll be back sooner rather than later!

We attended a Wedding at Fosse Manor (in their Hyde Barn). The wedding catering was excellent. It is confusing to read the other reviews here as there was no actual restaurant on site that we could see - just the wedding banquet room and adjoining bar. Breakfast however was not good. Pre-cooked under 3 heat lamps and self-service. The tea was very weak even after adding more tea-bags! The breakfast room was styled like a hostel with long trestle tables for lots of guests to sit together, and was extremely noisy. After a night spent in the terrible accommodation here (for which we have written a separate review) we did not enjoy this experience at all. A shame, as the Wedding catering itself was very well done and managed.

We were extremely happy with our stay. Staff went out of their way to accommodate our party. David was funny, polite and helpful. The food was delicious and our rooms perfect. Even an ironing board ready! My clothes were all rumpled on arrival so that really helped. The only thing I would have changed is the weather ! But c’est la vie😊

Enjoyed a nice cream tea at an idyllic place on an idyllic day. Grounds were nice for a stroll. Service was excellent.

We went for afternoon tea. Lovely hotel in a perfect Cotswold village. Idyllic. Staff delightful. Served in a small, beautiful lounge. I had emailed the day before to request no pickle in our sandwiches. I mentioned it again when they took our order. When the tea arrived the sausage roll and scones were delicious. The cakes lovely but a little bit underwhelming. But the sandwiches became a three act farce. Following the no pickle request we received 2 egg, 2 just tomato and 2 just cucumber. We asked why these had no meat or cheese or anything in them. They took them all away and brought back 8 ham only on brown. We looked aghast and said why have we now only got ham, at least we had egg on white before. They returned with 4 extra egg also on brown!!! Our neighbours were enjoying a selection of white and brown of salmon, egg, ham and something with salad. We gave up at that point. It was a bizarre inability to deal with the smallest deviation from the menu which made it all very disappointing. A real shame as it had the makings of a five star experience!

This spot has a cozy charm that draws you in. The service was prompt, and the food was exactly what I needed after a long day.

Arrived after having a year away to find no tea room and part of the shop (next to the actual water wheel). This is such a shame but I suppose its probably due to visitor numbers falling as nowhere to have a cuppa & snack although there are nearby alternatives that are comparable to what were the high prices. The remaining shop stock has stayed the same items of clothing and tourist pieces. Could do with a revamp, new stock items to breath fresh air into it. Other than that staff friendly as usual.

We walked into this Pub to enjoy a coffee on a Saturday lunchtime. It was not busy. We were ignored by all three staff members whilst we stood at the bar. No eye contact, no acknowlegement of our presence - no interest. In the end we walked out. They just could not be bothered.

Went for champagne afternoon tea. The good: staff helpful, food quality ok, nice fire. About as much atmosphere as a motorway service area. Value for money very poor. Reservation a waste of time-seated in bar area at unset up table—was told lounge unavailable due to a conference—so why accept res? Brushing up while we were eating…not good!
