"We had our Christmas day lunch here this Christmas just gone. Although the overall experience was quite nice, we (2 of us) were very disappointed, when the main course arrived, to find the turkey was very salty, and the veg (because it was plated up before it came out which I thought was unusual for a restaurant of this standard) consisted of 2 small broccoli florets, just THREE brussel sprouts, THREE slices of carrot, and NONE of the traditional parsnips. For £73 a head we were very disappointed."

"Although the restaurant has high chairs, which might suggest that they cater to children, my wife's recent visit with her family proved otherwise. Despite checking the menus online beforehand, they were informed upon arrival that the online menus were outdated. This meant that the items they had intended to order were no longer available. When my wife requested a children's menu, she was told that they did not have one and would have to order from the regular menu instead. She chose beans on toast for our 3-year-old, but was then informed that it was not possible as breakfast service had ended 20 minutes prior and the toaster had already been put away. Their only options for the child were expensive bagels or baguettes, which we knew our picky eater would not likely eat. The unhelpful staff and lack of response to our message to the business personally were disappointing. While we like to support local businesses, it is important for them to prioritize customer care. Unfortunately, we do not plan on returning to this restaurant anytime soon."

"Cafe site and notices on the door say open 10 4 seven days a week. Arrived in cafe on a Monday and male staff member said to us we don't open Mondays haven't done for ages. His address to us was in a tone that suggested we were stupid for not knowing this. I feel we could be forgiven our lack of understanding of this given the fact of the notices and that there were several people sat around with drinks. An apologetic reception would have seemed more appropriate. Treatment of this type is not what I would expect at any café. Given the ethos of Ruskin this is doubley bad. Can't comment on food or drink as got no chance to sample it. All in all I do not see us subjecting ourselves to such Treatment again."

"My partner and I came visit last night, our first date night in a while due to Covid. We sat down outside waited to be served waited 10minutes intill my partner went in to see if they could serve him at the bar. One girl was about to in till another girl came around and said no you have to wait intill we come to you out side. We were waiting a good 20minuted after that, where it got to the point of me going in to ask if we could served as we’d been waiting for god knows how long. People who came in after us getting served before we did. I understand times can be busy, me and my partner worked in a busy pub but when we came wasn’t overly busy at all. Was quite disappointed in the service Garden was lovely and is a lovely pub just a shame about the service."

"Very disappointed as had been recommended The Tipputs and it was our 1st Wedding Anniversary. My starter was completely different to how it was described on the menu. Should have been Wood Pigeon breast on black pudding mash with red wine jus. It came out as a wood pigeon breast with some sort of pickled white cabbage and mustard sauce. I queried this and instead of re plating correctly, I was just brought a little bowl of black pudding mash. I had ordered King Prawns in garlic butter with salad and fries for my main. The dish came out and we were asked if we wanted sauces. I requested salad dressing and the waitress responded 'what? ' so I repeated my request and was brought another bowl with a teaspoon of salad dressing in it. I realised I had no fries so again had to check the menu to make sure I had not been mistaken another trip to the bar to request the missing fries. The plate was cold, the prawns were luke warm and mushy. As the prawns were 'shell on ' I really could have done with a finger bowl. My husband had Rack of Lamb with very little Lamb. We had been advised it would be cooked 'pink ' which would have been perfect except it wasn 't, it was over done. Horribly over priced for the quality of food. We did get a small discount off the bill but even at that price, we felt robbed!"

"What a hidden gem this place is. Location is beautiful, views looking over the water and plenty of countryside on the other side. We picked it as I was looking for somewhere that would keep my little girl happy whilst us grown ups could also relax! They have a new modern play area which kept her entertained and is a really good size, we would come back for that alone I think! However, the staff and the food are really the stars of the show. The staff were so welcoming and kind and helpful from the moment we arrived which set the scene for the whole visit. The food menu is full of lots of scrummy sounding options too. We opted for calamari, white bait, home made faggots, a ploughman’s and a kids chicken nuggets. Every dish was delicious. The kids nuggets were more like home made chicken goujons and the chips were extremely morish! The ploughman’s stole the show for me but my partner couldn’t get enough of his home made faggots either! Highly recommend this place and I am so pleased we chanced it to come here. Please keep doing what you’re doing."

"We were staying locally and our host had recommended this place and it wasn’t a long walk so gave it a try, it was fairly quiet but due to social distancing this suited us well. The man who served us, believes it was the owner was polite and friendly and made sure we had everything we wanted. The food was good and plentiful, popadoms to start then we had a mixed starter which was delicious and samosa then one of the specials, I can’t remember the name, a couple of veg side dishes rice and naan and as we took our own drinks it came to around £43 which is good value. My only negative is that the ladies toilets were pretty grim! The dust on the skirting boards was pretty thick and I made a comment to my other half that as we’ve just come out of lockdown you’d think the least they could’ve done is a deep clean. It’s quite dated but I think the prices reflect this."

"Absolutely terrible! I ordered the Thai Fried Chicken and Sweet Sour Chicken Pad Thai, hoping for the crispy, flavorful chicken we enjoyed at the Saturday Farmers Market. Unfortunately, it was nothing like that. It had no flavor and was bland and soggy. The Pad Thai was equally flavorless. This was one of the worst meals I've ever had—I ended up throwing it away because I couldn't eat any of it. Seriously, do NOT go here. If you're looking for great Thai food, I highly recommend visiting the Saturday Farmers Market at Stroud, where there's a fantastic Thai stall!"

"A small but enchanting cafe with delicious food and pleasant ambience. It’s not large and you won’t get a 3 course meal but if you just want a delicious cooked breakfast or maybe a “doorstep” bacon sarnie then this is the place for you. There is also a large selection of cakes and the tea and coffee is perfect. Michelle , your host is a lovely lady who will cater for your every need. A nice added touch is the low level bacground music which adds to the relaxed atmosphere in this establishment. Well worth a visit if you are in this small town."

"My friend and I have tried the vegan veggie burger multiple times and it is always delicious. The manager recently offered us two options of vegan pukka pies (chicken mushroom or minced steak and onion), and they were both extremely tasty! He is expanding the vegan menu to include burgers, pies, and sausages. Vegan food enthusiasts should keep an eye out for these additions! Additionally, the manager is always friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant."

"This was our first visit to the garden centre since Blue Diamond took over from Wyevale. The place is definitely looking more upscale and the menu looked promising. We opted for the 'over 60s' meal deal which included 2 courses and a hot drink for £9.95, a great value. My husband had the fish and chips while I opted for the quiche with salad and chips. Although the wait was longer than we expected, the food was delicious. My husband, a fish and chips enthusiast, declared it one of the best he's had. The portion sizes were generous, even with the meal deal. We had to order our desserts with our mains, and after a bit of a wait and reminder to the waitress, they finally arrived. My husband had ordered crumble but received jam sponge pudding instead. We didn't want to wait any longer so he enjoyed it. My chocolate brownie with ice cream was also very tasty."

"This restaurant review is extremely negative. The reviewer ordered crispy duck and sweet and sour chicken through a delivery service at 4:30pm, which was the restaurant's first order of the day. Unfortunately, the food was deemed inedible as it appeared to be leftover from the previous day. The duck was hard and dry, likely from being reheated, and the chicken was crunchy and stale. The reviewer suggests that the restaurant should be closed down and declares that they will not be returning as a customer."

"Having not been to the Mariners for an evening meal for a long time I now know why! Ordered the chilli as Chas Andrews makes a great one. We were told that there wasn 't any, okay we chose a sizzler chicken steak cooked medium to well with a pepper sauce. The meals arrived, the sauce was like water so sent them back, when cutting into the steak I 'm sure it mooed! I don 't mind pink but blood, not for me. Asked for them to be cooked a bit more, when they returned our steaks had been put on the wrong platters as we had both cut them before sending back, and had been microwaved! There was no way we could eat this disgusting meal. I asked the staff to see the chef Trevor was told if we can find him, he 's probably gone . When Trevor came out there was no apology told us he had put our steaks in the oven, really? Oh yes a microwave oven! Seriously Chas you need to sort this out as your chef is doing you no favours. The Mariners food was always great but never again!"

"Having booked tickets for a show at The Sub Rooms we then decided to make a break of it. The only hotel in town appears to be a functional hotel and we wanted something more homely, which is how we came upon The Bell, about a mile from town it was ideally located. The rooms are above the pub with a separate entrance at the rear, our room was exceptionally comfortable and clean, it had everything we needed for an enjoyable break. The pub is very welcoming with a good selection of beers, breakfast is taken here with some great options, we didn't get the chance to try the lunch/dinner menu which gives us another reason to return one day. Mark and Sarah along with all the staff were very friendly and welcoming, we shall be checking in on The Sub Rooms site for other shows, should we come again we would definitely stay here."

"It was one of those nights where driving home and then eating would have taken too long so my partner and I opted for Chinese we could take to her parents house. I had a vegetable chow mein, which consisted of three pieces of vegetable. Two bits of baby sweet corn and a long slither of green pepper. There really wasn’t much flavour in he sauce either. Very tasteless. However, the portion size was monstrous. I didn’t go hungry. It just wasn’t the nicest thing to eat. When we got home we realised that one of our sides was missing. Hopefully it wasn’t charged for as I couldn’t be bothered to go back just for crispy seaweed."
