The best restaurants serving Default food in Cotswold South West

Great food, and excellent service, a very agreeable place for food with a nice farm shop attached. Slightly let down by average beer on this occasion.

Stopped in for a drink and dessert. Quiet, cozy and atmospheric bar.

Very warm welcome on arrival. I had booked in for a massage but they’d since closed the spa so offered me a free room upgrade ( from standard to superior) the room was beautiful and very clean and super comfortable bed. The food in the restaurant was lovely and the breakfast outstanding. All staff were friendly and professional, wonderful location. Thank you so much.

The Old Butchers was a highlight of our stay in the Cotswolds. Here’s the funny thing though - despite its name, this is not a steak restaurant. In fact the menu specialises in seafood. The name is something of a local in-joke as the premises were originally the local butcher shop. The food here was excellent. The standouts were the Dover Sole Meunière and the Cornish Mussels Mariniere. The mussels were some of the best I’ve had. The only thing I wouldn’t order again would be the potatoes as they had a distinctive and heavy seaweed flavouring which was a little too strong for my taste. Service was outstanding. We were warmly welcomed and staff were attentive throughout. The owner/manager found time to introduce herself and to check that we’d enjoyed our meals which was a nice touch. There is a nice lively atmosphere to the place - not that it’s noisy, it just has a buzz. It feels like a place where people are enjoying their meals and the staff are committed and have enthusiasm. I note that some reviewers have commented on price and whilst it is a little pricey, we felt that the quality of the food and service was well worth it. Overall, we considered ourselves lucky to have discovered The Old Butchers on our first night - this gave us a chance to return a second time.

I visited the Royal Oak with my family in May '25 to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful, with gorgeous surroundings and very charming. Our hostess showed us to our table and gave us plenty of time to choose from the menu without keeping us waiting unnecessarily. The service throughout was efficient and friendly. The menu is nicely varied, with a subtle twist on traditional pub grub, and priced perfectly. My son and I had the sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection, and the rest of our party had the cider battered haddock which they enjoyed very much. The ambience is perfect, the beer garden is spacious and well appointed, and the location is excellent. Very highly recommended, whether for a date, a meal with friends or family, or a special occassion. I wouldn't hesitate to return, and will definitely be doing so,

Really disappointing. I went to the restaurant for a specific meal they had advertised on their online menu. When I got there, it turned out that the online menu was over 2 weeks out of date and there was a new menu in place, not with my meal of choice on! The new menu was uninspired, but I chose a chicken dish which was the best of a bad bunch. It then turned out that that chicken dish was mid-advertised/incorrectly described, stating it was with a chicken escalope, when in fact it was just a rolled bland chicken breast. The calamari was undercooked too. Signs of a chef that doesn’t know what they’re doing, and a management team unable to get the basics right.

Lovely place with a great choice of wines, beers and cocktails. Nice menu offering well cooked English staples plus a few nice options. Roma are all en-suite and characterful. It’s a 3 star hotel but does much more. Excellent staff who have a great sense of humour! Breakfast is excellent and a large choice.

Disappointing. Looked nicer from the outside but to be honest food lets it down. It was a lovely, sunny day and ended up here for fish n chips. The fish had a chemical after taste, chips were adequate. Small pot of luke warm mushy peas. Wished we’d shopped about a bit more. I’m sure this place relies on a coach load of tourists each day and can get away with mediocre food. We shan’t be back.

This quiet country Cotswolds pub is a beautiful setting for what was simply some of the best food I've ever tasted. As I live fairly locally I've been here a few times and the depth of flavour in each of the dishes I've had is simply amazing. The presentation on modern designer plates is the icing on the cake. I've been to many Indian restaurants all over the UK but this is the best. Sadly, it's now closed. I would love to find out where the chefs are now working, as I would travel some distance to enjoy their wonderful food again.

The most delicious Sunday lunch with a lovely friendly atmosphere! If your looking for somewhere local and kid friendly this is the place

Seems to have taken a nosedive in terms of service and quality. This used to be a great place to come and relax but not anymore.I understand it's been bought out ( franchise).My latest and last experience...The coffee was awful. Lots of young male staff just hanging around behind the service area, stale cakes. Won't be going back again.

We visited the Inn for dinner and lunch over a weekend whilst staying at a great Airbnb next door. Good food options and even squeezed 6 of us in for a late sunday roast lunch. Friendly staff.

Pros: quick service, staff were friendly, plenty of space, were very conscious of allergens, and reasonably priced. Cons: food was mediocre, pouched eggs were hard, and hollandaise was thickened with flour, a few snots hanging from one servers nose, very noisy and echoey space, one dogs continuously barking but staff didn’t say anything.

Fresh food, great service, child friendly too, what more could you want from a restaurant serving Sunday Lunch. We've just come back from Sunday Lunch at Roots + Seeds in Cirencester. Crispy beer batter on the fish, really chunky chips (not fries) silky smooth mushy peas pretty much a perfect combination. The young front of house team have been well trained to make everyone feel welcome too.

Many thanks to The Lakes team for making it possible to have a special, surprise birthday celebration in the afternoon this week. We were a small group but the care and attention was first class. You helped us to make the birthday person feel very special . Thanks to one of the the Team who also took some celebration photos of all of us together.
