The best restaurants serving British food in Northleach Cotswold South West

So pleased that Lynwood & co have opened a branch in our lovely village (town). I regularly pop in after a morning run to enjoy a coffee which is always superb. The cinnamon Bear Claw to go with it is a delight. Staff are friendly and always find time for a chat. The ambience and laid back friendliness of Lynwoods compliments where we live perfectly.

This used to be a really cosy cafe where you’d get decent quality coffee, cakes and toasties etc. visited today for the first time since before Covid and I’m guessing it must have changed hands. Espresso was undrinkable ( more like filter coffee) and we only ate one mouthful of the cheese ham toastie - anaemic, plastic ham and cheese. Dont like leaving negative reviews but this is more like a transport caf now which is such a shame. Won’t be back.

Amazing pork and apple sausage roll.

Generous roast Sunday lunch which everyone enjoyed, but very intermittent service. After 20 minutes, we had to go to the hostess desk as the sparkling water we ordered as we sat down hadn't arrived, and nor had anyone to take our drinks or food orders. This resulted in our orders being taken, but after another 15 minutes, we had to ask again for the water and the drinks. We were at out table for over 30 mins before we all had something to drink. The food then arrived quickly, although one dessert was forgotten and had to be asked for. The food was all good, but let down by the service. When pubs ask to have the tables back for the next sitting, they need to make sure you are served so that you can eat and have coffee before having to leave.

I only wanted a light lunch yesterday, so I ordered a baked potato. I am in my 60s and I can honestly say it was the smallest and toughest baked potato I've ever had! Quite an achievement. My friend was treating me to lunch and I didn't want to make a fuss but it was horrible and expensive. I certainly won't be going back. The service and the surroundings were fine. But my lunch was not good enough.
