The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Upton St Leonards Stroud South West

Delightful little cafe! Have been twice recently, and both times I have had the homemade soup. Really tasty each time and they seem to do a different flavour weekly. A very reasonably priced menu for all their food, cakes, ice creams and drinks. Lovely to wander around the Abbey gardens after, which you can follow a path for a decent walk. Thoroughly recommend this place for a relaxed lunch and an unspoilt easy walk after. I feel I should also add that the service is friendly, fast and always with a smile!

Excellent food, very friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend a visit. The quality of the was good and plenty to choose from.

The first issue with the restaurant is lighting… If you have a window table, they are really dark and badly lit. They also have to shut the window blinds in the evenings because the house is being flood lit from outside - so the light would be too bright - which is a shame because you therefore can't actually look out of the windows in the evening. The second issue I have with this restaurant is the staff spend more time looking at their computers with their backs to all the guests - as if the computer is going to tell them how to give good customer service - when actually all they need to do is face their guests and keep their eyes open. I struggled several times to get the attention of any of the waiting staff. However, once you had their attention, the staff on the whole very friendly and helpful. Particularly the female breakfast staff. The third and most concerning thing about this restaurant is that I ordered something with a side of mashed potato and the mashed potato they gave me was obviously from a packet of powdered mashed potato; it was of a horrible texture and tasted disgusting. This is completely unacceptable for a restaurant at a Mercure hotel. Beware… The hotel also accepts dogs so I spent most of my dinner sitting listening to a dog yapping in the living room through the archway next door. If dogs are barking, the staff need to not ignore this and instead go and have a discreet word with the owner rather than allow them to disturb all the other guests. Not everybody likes dogs - and most people in any event don't want to hear dogs barking constantly while trying to eat their dinner. I don't often say this but I would not recommend until they change a few things.

Having been before on several occasions my husband and I along with our young daughter decided to stop off after a Sunday afternoon walk. The restaurant was virtually empty so we were seated straight away, having now experienced the new menu we can understand why! The food took over 50mins to arrive (would be more understandable if the place was packed!) we were not notified that there would be a wait which is common curtesy especially when you have young children with you. Finally our food arrived, to say the least we were extremely disappointed. My husband had ordered the Turkey roast which should have been accompanied by vegetables, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pudding, sage and onion stuffing and roast potatoes, what arrived can only be described as a subpar school dinner! The Yorkshire was FLAT and wet, there was no cauliflower cheese, approx 3 overcooked roast potatoes and one floret of broccoli surrounded by the small cubed frozen veg which I wouldn’t feed to my dog! The mac and cheese that my child ordered clearly was from a can and the cucumber and carrot sticks were placed on a hot plate, enough said! Needless to say we had to stop at McDonalds on the way home! A real shame as we have always enjoyed our past experiences, the manager I believe she was did offer a free drink or dessert but as my husband has dietary requirements this was not an option for us and he ended up not having a meal at all.
