The best restaurants in Cotswold South West

I was part of a large group who had a Sunday lunch. The meal consisted of two slices of pork and two slices of beef. I can’t speak for others but on my table of six, five left their meat. The consensus was that the pork was fatty and the beef was tough. The waitress was made aware of this when clearing the table but nothing was done.

Very misleading wine menu, probably/maybe not on purpose. Reads like the price of a bottle of wine is 16gbp, when it's really 45gbp. Bear in mind, I'm not young, plenty of wine ordered, and never got it confused before in my life... Food is really good, but can't help but feel absolutely tricked by the wine list, everyone on the table who looked at the menu fell on the same trap of thinking second column was the price of a bottle. Also not happy with how this was handled by the GM. Guys, please fix that wine list...

Staff always friendly best chippy in Cirencester.

We were very disappointed with the quality of food and drinks. Soup was inedible, chocolate cake had never been near any chocolate and was like eating sand. Paninis were made from awful bread, served with a limp ‘salad’ and a few crisps, incredibly average and extremely overpriced. Chocolate cookie has no taste and again was extremely dry. Coffee was reminiscent of a 00s vending machine. Bring a picnic and avoid this place.

After my car broke down outside The Royal Oak, I was welcomed into the pub and looked after like a long-time local by the wonderful family who run it. They could not have been more kind and helpful. When I returned the next day to organise my car to be towed, again they were so open and supportive. I did eat lovely fish and chips there too. A great local pub, that I wish I had near me so I could frequent it often. Not only were the management fantastic but the locals were equally friendly, sincere and welcoming. Such a wonderful experience after what could have been a real disaster!

Probably the worst Sunday lunch I have ever had, I was told I cannot order a children’s (or smaller size potion) as I am not a child, despite me saying I have a digestive issue and cannot eat large meals. The potatoes arrived practically raw, hard boiled and not a “crispness” in sight, I actually sent them and they came back when everyone else had finished so I decided to take them home instead of eating in my own, everyone else also left at least one potatoe as they were inedible! The photo shows the potatoes in my air fryer at home after about 20 minutes! Service charge was then added on, which I asked to be removed but my friend insisted on paying it, so I paid £30 for roast pork (with a huge rind of fat around it, despite asking for extra crackling) inedible potatoes and “fresh market veg” which were clearly frozen peas and carrots!! Lesson learnt!!

Gott och trevligt på denna lilla pub runt hörnet till vårt Airbnb. Vi har nu ätit här tre kvällar och varit nöjda med allt vi fått in.

I was at the front of the queue then I got sent to the back because I was ordering a cookie not sandwich the man told me to go back and didn’t come after like 10 minutes

Lunch with my mother. 2 starters each. All 4 were spectacular. Chichory salad, burrata salad, devilled kidneys and beef carpaccio. Glass of wine each. £60. Ok there was a cider and fries chucked in for my yobbish tastes. Between us we have about 50 years experience in hospitality all over Europe. But this was best pub lunch in over 20 years, for me.

It's claimed to be the oldest pub in England, but the atmosphere doesn't suggest that it still feels like a modern restaurant and has a London vibe. The food was good , not Michelin style but well cooked. Friendly staff, clean bathroom. Good menu diversity.

Our regular place to meet friends, think we have been around 12 times. Always a great welcome and fantastic service, staff go above and beyond.

This has got to be one of the worst restaurant that I have ever visited,I was not the only one to think this, .many disgruntled visitors. You were told all the things you couldn't have, terrible service, staff constantly getting orders wrong or not at all, long wait for below average food. My advice go somewhere else if you're staying at the Premier Inn

Very dissatisfied, ordered 3 meals, waited 25mins for what was essentially just a burger as the rest was readily available. No apologies offered rven though it seemed the staff were aware. Finally sit to eat, and what a disappointment. Thin fish that was greasy and smelt like beef dripping.. how?! The chips were very dry and not enjoyable. The burger that was waited on was also dry. Considering the price that is charged is above the average you would expect something good but that's not the case. This was in the evening as well and not as busy as I have seen it, so pretty sure that's not the cause.

Top food top guys, just what you're looking for!

Excellent place for an Italian breakfast, excellent desserts too, friendly staff and welcoming place.
