The best restaurants serving British food in Highnam with Haw Bridge Tewkesbury South West

Myself and my now wife had our wedding at Lower Lode Inn. We held the ceremony in front of the water, along with a marquee. Sam, the landlady, was so helpful and helped make it the perfect day alongside her amazing team of bar and floor staff. The day could not have gone any better. Thank you so much to everyone at the Lower Lode Inn.

Visited in past week as not been here for some time; just drinks. Still looks like the back garden area needs some TLC/weeding etc; plants in pots with labels still on and furniture needs upgrading or re-staining. Menu seemed quite pricey for the place, would expect great setting too if paying prices. Might try again if tidied up etc.

We've been customers for years but our last visit was appalling. My mother is terminally ill and in a wheelchair, we arrived for a carvery and found somewhere to sit in the bar which we didn't realise was reserved because there were no reserved signs, only cutlery laid out (which apparently substitutes a reserved sign, whereas most restaurants have cutlery laid out on tables anyway, so how is one to know the difference?). We were then told to move by a red-headed woman with glasses who was the picture of apathy with her attitude and very surly when I challenged her on the lack of reserved signs (apparently cutlery being laid out on a table means that it's OBVIOUS the table is reserved) well, it clearly doesn't suffice or we wouldn't have sat there. I had to move my wheelchair bound mother to sit by the toilets on a table that was raised too high for her to sit at, which clearly wasn't suitable. We were appalled at the servers surly attitude - We would have been happy to move if placed at a suitable table and asked politely. I'm afraid this establishment has lost us as regulars.
