Restaurant Recommendations

Fabios, Banbury
Recommended by Paulas Mum

Ate in this restaurant as guest of my daughter and son -in -law (I am from Aberdeen). The restaurant was packed but the service was very good and the food was excellent. Fabio greeted diners and made sure the experience was positive in all respects. Don't miss it !

Prezzo Restaurant, Gloucester
Recommended by Angie

Jolly Tar, Swindon
Recommended by Pugwash

Recently found myself in the area and decided to try the Sunday Lunch of succulent, tender roast lamb, accompanied by a choice of freshly cooked vegetables ( wonderful not a frozen pea in sight !) I'm not a big eater but just had to try one of the naughty looking sweets - a slice of lemon flan topped with cream - delicious ! - what a pity I've given up chocolate because those looked very tempting aswell. Very reasonably priced and the service was prompt and friendly - reassuring when one is a female travelling alone - infact I felt so at home that I decided to stay overnight in the interesting accommodation - each room being named after a famous sailor - facilities were great and breakfast was equally as good as the Sunday Lunch - pity I hadn't got time to stay long enough to try the evening meal ! - well worth a visit.

Ugly Duckling, Gloucester
Recommended by Ann

I can only confirm the previous recommendation, I have enjoyed the food of Peter (the owner of The ugly Duckling), even before he opened his own restaurant, so I can vouch for his food.Sadly I have now moved from the area and can honestly say that I haven't enjoyed a meal as much as Peter's since I left. I have been back and it only makes me feel I shouldn't have left the area as we used to eat there up to 5 times a week, so really really miss him. I must also just say that the staff are the most friendly you'll find anywhere, always a smile and excellent service. See you soon again Peter.

We had a fantastic weekend at Upper Court, ate well ( meal booked with James), walked - Bredon Hill and did some art - pottery and printmaking ( all of the family) . A great get away weekend highly recommended.

Tinto, Stroud
Recommended by Mr Coyle

Fantastic Restaurant, The food was delicious and promptly served. The staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. My Fajitas were tastier than a Mexican restaurant that i went to earlier in the week and the garlic bread was the best i have ever eaten! Would highly recommend to anyone!

Hacketts Restaurant, Cheltenham
Recommended by Ann Gibbons

Lovely restaurant, warm and intimate and very much a country house party feel. Food was exceptionally good and very fresh. Also, an extensive wine list.

Chillies Indian Cuisine, Swindon
Recommended by Brumontour

Chillies is special because it creates food that is not normally associated with a standard Indian restaurant. Each dish is different from those that we have tasted at many other restaurants in this area and in the rest of England and Wales. The menu is unique and is all the more a treat when it is served with polite, congenial staff. I cannot recommend it enough and my friends all agree. Please never change, special is hard to find!
