The best restaurants in Stroud South West

What a gem of a pub! A brilliant selection of beers. Great food. Friendly staff. The decor is cosy and inviting. The log burner was on the go. What's not to like?!

Took our money but never delivered the food.

I was finally able to try this restaurant today, I traveled from Pittsburg via BART just to try it. I was at Jack London Square last week, I attempted to try it, but they had already closed. First, I must say that the staff is very friendly, provide service with a smile, efficient. They fix your order when you place it, food is fresh, not sitting under heating lights. I got the Chicken Fried Rice that everyone ranted and raved about in the reviews. It was $14.00 for a medium sized take out container. It tasted okay, but I was anticipating better. I ate some there, took the rest home. It was full of Chicken breast, a bit dry, very little vegetables and barely any egg. I was also surprised by the prices on the website, the items are much cheaper by at least $6.00. I realize the cost of living has gone up, and they have to charge more. It would be helpful if they update your menu/prices so new customers won't be blind sided. Especially, since they only accept cash payments. This was not my favorite so, I won't be going back, do not recommend.

As with previous reviews, rooms are dated but clean enough. The staff though I can't say enough about. Nothing is too much trouble, they are amazing and a credit to the hotel

Consistently good food and friendly, competent staff.

Really good vegetarian and vegan options, unusual for a small town! Delicious food and generous portions. Excellent value for money. Cash only, but the ATM next door charges 99p if you're caught out.

Quick service but the pizzas are terrible. Pretty sure they're frozen. Pick up a piece and all the cheese just falls off. Won't be ordering again. Disgusting.

Great ambience, and excellent service from Hassan and colleagues. Perfect food, beautifully served. I enjoyed the amazing Tandori Lamb Chops, served sizzling, whilst my companion loved the Rogan Josh. All courses were lovely as was the attentive service. Great value too. Thank you!

Really tasty food and very friendly, helpful staff. Chips were especially amazing. Can get busy at peak times but worth the wait.

We where passing threw and noticed this fish and chips shop when entering there was no customers waiting or ordering food our order was one cod two fish cakes and two medium sized chips all I would say to anyone wishing to order food from this place is don’t waste your money very very poor the chips looked over over over done and like it’s been re heated when eating the chips they where so dry the cod was a little greasy I would 100% not recommend

Hasn't served Pizza in months apparently, despite the menu still having an entire section for them. Spring rolls were burnt on the outside and undercooked on the inside. Chips were soggy and soft. Rang many many times with no answer. It wasn't even that busy.

Scolding hot coffee, still too hot 20 minutes later - surely unnecessary to heat it that high. This is my third visit I’ve regretted but sadly I can confirm it’s really gone downhill. The queues were a shambles on my previous visit and the last three flat white coffees did not taste good.

The building and setting at Leaf and Ground is beautiful. I’ve been here before but never eaten in the cafe so wasn’t sure what to expect. We pre-booked a table as we were meeting a friend with their family, making our group 9 people (4 adults and 5 kids). They did charge £5 per person as a deposit but we were glad we could book a guarantee a space for our party. Service was a little slow at points, drinks took awhile to arrive and had to grab someone’s attention to order food. However the food didn’t take too long - it was also delicious and very good quality. I had the chicken parm which was tasty, and my husband had ham, egg and chips, both were very decent sized portions. I would agree with other comments about the kids fries being salty, they were fine to my taste but the kids weren’t especially keen (they don’t normally have salt on their food) - so it might be worth taking that on board for future. We then enjoyed a walk around the grounds after lunch (the kids loved romping around the woodland area). We then had a stop at the kiosk for ice cream/milkshakes, followed by a trip to the kids play area. A very pleasant way to spend a sunny October afternoon and we will be back :)

My partner and I came here for Sunday lunch as a last minute decision. And what a brilliant decision it was! Food was amazing we both had roast beef and it was brilliant, meat was very tender, veg seasonal and cooked beautifully and spot on gravy. Service was both professional and friendly but not intrusive. Can I give 6 stars!!!! Thanks guys

Very nice pub, we randomly stopped here because it was on our way to a ghost hunt in the area, and we are so glad we stopped here, the pub was nice and clean, the mother daughter team that run it was really friendly, and the food was outstanding, very well presented, great prices and yummy! We are going back in December and I’m very much looking forward to it.
