The best restaurants in Cotswold South West

Faultless. Staff, atmosphere, venue, food quality, presentation, portion size & value for money. Unfortunately it's so rare these days to leave a venue completely satisfied. Particular mention for the side salad!

1 glass of wine, 1 pint, 2 lemonades and a trio of crisps.....£28!!! I live in the village so I'm used to the over inflated sense of superiority associated with the 'Beige Village' set of the area but this is ridiculous. It's not even that nice of a bar (you have to pee in a freezing outhouse), grubby tables and the staff were very course and cold. They have perfected not caring about customers.. Tried to contact the business to get verification that there hadn't been a mistake with the bill; never received the courtesy of a response. Obviously. When all the old folks with more money than sense dissappear this place will be lost.

We had a stay for two nights with two rooms, dinner on evening one and two breakfasts. Positive Points 1. Quality steak 2. Delicious mackerel starter Negative Points 1. Cold and unwelcoming 2. Dirty tables and cutlery 3. Very long wait for food and nobody checked if everything was ok 4. Different change for same drinks every time. 5. No staff....one person does everything! 6. Filthy bedrooms, thick with dust and cobwebs 7. Rooms full of broken items ...mirrors, blinds 8. No slip mat provided for elderly people, so unable to have a shower (my mum was told to throw a towel in the bath!) 9. Extremely old mattress, lumpy and uncomfortable, old duvet with lumps and bumps 10. Linen bundles and beer barrels left outside rooms and at bottom of the stairs...huge fire and safety risk 11. Limited breakfast and very small quantity 12. Coffee and tea not restocked, dirty cups left in room and bed not made 13. Bathroom was rusty, filthy and hadn't been cleaned. Toilets were still dirty from previous guests.

Renamed Mrs. Rolt's Tearoom now. Very small and quaint in the lovely village of Bourton-on-the-Water. Welcoming and friendly, another family arrived around the same time and were accommodated even with a stroller, as it was quiet.

Great service and excellent food. There was a group of us that they accommodated even though we were delayed. We gave pre orders and the service was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meal and said they would definitely come back. Beautiful setting by the river too. Just one comment was please can the choc brownie be served warm :-)

Mum held her 90th birthday party here. She decided to have a birthday tea and invited 23 friends and family. Sharon and her team listened to mum's preferences regarding food and seating, were so helpful, putting up the banners and balloons. Everything was perfect. The tea was delicious, the sandwiches and scones were divine and don't get me started on the individual cakes. We also had little scotch eggs and sausage rolls, all on proper tiered cake stands. Tea and coffee was served throughout. Thank you Sharon and your team. We made a lot of happy memories. A special thank you to "The Help"!

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!

The service was terrible…. a bunch of young girls who appeared to want to be elsewhere. We ordered tea and scones. We drank the tea and still no scones. When we asked about them we were rudely told “it’s coming” and she made no effort to check on them. They came 5 minutes later. We could see other people being treated as an inconvenience and being unhappy. Disappointing in a lovely village where everyone else is so friendly.

Waited over a hour for a simple burger as my order was lost! Not acceptable as Bistro was empty so clearly no monitoring of kitchen from bar staff who take orders!

Used to come here when living locally, at one time Hicks Brasserie. When we arrived there was a tech issue re card payments - no matter, we went to the the nearest cashpoint and obtained funds. Just as well we weren't in any hurry - service was, shall we say, relaxed, to the extent that one of us had to keep going up to the bar to get menus, order drinks, food etc as the staff were definitely in no rush to attend to the sparse number of diners (and there was no-one in the Fig restaurant when we looked). Pretty limited menu, however we'd booked and Chippy was busy so we stayed put. What we had (mains a kind of deconstructed Caesar salad, a couple of puds, plus a drinkie each - no offer of table water) was decent enough but not exactly generous and, given it was a Sunday, sadly no nod to any Sunday fayre. Overall, disappointing - and there are plenty of other options in CC.

Visitor to area and called in for evening meal. Sorely disappointed by quality of food considering high prices. Good waitress service.

Our first visit here while on a little lake holiday. Beautifully decorated country style pub. We were seated in the upstairs area which was spacious and decorated tastefully in a winter & Halloween theme. All staff who welcomed and served us were warm, friendly & helpful. Talking us through children’s menu options, specials and offers. A little dog mattress & cup of treats was brought out for our pup. So thoughtful!!! Food was delicious and very generous portion sizes. We had prawn & chicken starters, pie and mash, tapas plates, chicken curry and a brownie for dessert. Irish coffees were lush too. Every aspect of their service was excellent and we wish this was our local.

Absolutely fabulous lunch, well cooked beautifully presented food served by professional but friendly staff. The restaurant has a wonderful warm and welcoming atmosphere. We all had a wonderful lunch and will definitely return when next in this area. The staff even presented my Mother with a Happy Birthday Dessert. Many thanks for a wonderful experience.

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

This is a really welcome, beautifully renovated addition to the area. A warm and friendly local with stone walls and open fires. Food is very good, modern pub style at a very reasonable price for The Cotswolds. Staff are very friendly and efficient and the clientele are a great combination of locals at the bar, people eating and walkers, cyclists etc calling in for a pint. Been several times since it reopened and all have been good.
