The Old Boathouse – CirencesterWe stayed at the Hotel du Vin for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hotel is in the hip/boutique part of town Montpelier in what I guess is an old regency building. We dined one night and really enjoyed our meals. As the name of the hotel would indicate the wine list is excellent and a weighty tome! I was a bit surprised that a list of bins this vast had a very small/limited food menu to match. However I have absolutely no complaint about the quality. The service was very good also, although no member of staff seemed older than 30 and perhaps the gravitas of age was missing on the front desk. The place has a cool vibe overall and the guests we saw were very much at home in this environment. Overall I'd give it a 7.5/10, well worth a visit to stay and or eat!
Hotel Du Vin and Bistro – CheltenhamWonderful chef and great service - Nice contemporary environment - classy food - top notch, would recommend.
St James Hotel – CheltenhamThis place is fabulous! Its an art deco cinema converted into a restaurant with bar in the upper circle. Takes you back in time but the food is modern British and very good.
Daffodil – CheltenhamWe had a brief 3 night stay at Lower SM a couple of weeks ago - excellent service; discreet yet exceptionally friendly. As the hotel was quiet, we ate once in the main restaurant and enjoyed a fine dining experience. Again the service was efficient, and warm, with food excellent across all courses. What was really appealing to us was the opportunity to use to restaurant and bar at Washbourne Court, the Von Essen sister hotel across the road and river for a really superb bar and dinner. All in all a memorable stay.
Lower Slaughter Manor – CheltenhamVisited Dino's for the first time last night. Excellent Meze for two with a good bottle of Cypriot wine(Aphrodite), pleasant little restaurant with good & friendly service. Meal for two was just over £60 with drinks and dessert - excellent value, will return. (Restaurant is open Wednesday - Saturday)
Dinos Village Taverna – GloucesterNice food and surroundings, and the staff were on the ball. Good selection of dishes to choose from.
Langton – Cheltenhammany people think India lounge is an excellent Indian restaurant well i was very disappointed. four of us went in for a meal and were seated in the window which with their table layout we found very restricted ,having people practically eating off your table. I could write a lot more of our experience there but don't have the time, just to say if you would like to enjoy a GOOD indian restaurant then try THE BLUE LAGOON in Evesham .( now that is a good place to eat)
India Lounge – Cheltenhamvery good, beccy and beccie should definitely go there !
Bear of Rodborough Hotel – StroudA fabulous 'gastropub' for lunch or evening dining, The Fox offers a wealth of delicious food, generous sized portions and lovely, atmospheric surroundings that keeps making me want to come back! I think that one of the signs of a good pub is attention to detail, where little things, like nice home-made chips and fresh vegetables (properly prepared and not dried-out through microwaving) are so important. As you would expect, this is not a cheap and cheerful pub, so expect to spend a little more than usual, but The Fox is most definitely worth it.
Fox Inn – CheltenhamExcellent pub grub , but only served Mon -Fri lunchtimes ....no service evenings . Lovely out of the way pub with lovely secluded gardens . Well worth a visit !
Great Western – Gloucesteralways an enjoyable experience. friendly staff, good food, relaxed atmosphere.
Prezzo – GloucesterI 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.
Ugly Duckling – GloucesterWe 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.
Upper Court – Cheltenhambar nine was a great experience. It was the service and atmosphere that was so defining. the food is adventurous. i had a great kleftico. highly recommend.
The Ale House – StroudOn the whole nice food, but extremely overpriced. Unfortunately you are made to wait an unacceptably long time for your main course, to which an insincere apology follows, and as a patron you are told 'sorry our chef forgot about you', which seems unfair to the chef to be blamed for what seems to be the incompetence of (what can only be described as;) the woman masquerading as the proprietor. Whom one would've assumed surely would make efforts to discretely rectify such an oversight. We found to our amazement that when we raised the issue about the unacceptable level of time we'd had to wait, citing that we would not expect to pay for the full bill, you are met with arguments and accusations from the the woman (masquerading as the proprietor) who advised us that as a gesture of goodwill she would deduct the cost of only one glass of wine, and proceeded to bellow at us to never come back! Suffice it to say the waiting staff and chef were not the issue, but the woman masquerading as the proprietor was, which up until her inhospitable intervention ruined our entire evening. So on the whole you are paying over £75 for a two course meal for two, and to be insulted should you dare to raise a complaint!
Old Passage Inn – GloucesterSimple WOW!
Wild Duck – CirencesterPleasant location, excellent choice of food and of very good quality.
Crown of Crucis Hotel – CirencesterSunday Butcher Boards available 12pm-4pm.
