Poor menu on sheet of paper. I ordered selection of mushrooms on toast for starters. Presentation awful. Mushrooms looked dehydrated and was tasteless. Toast was so dry that it made me think that this what it must feel like for a dog to eat a Bonio. Returned it to kitchen. Three main meals two had fish and chips. Chips were French fries no bigger than matchsticks. One fish uncooked and returned. Replacement still uncooked and was not eaten. The other fish batter uncooked inside. I had two sausages on a small blob of lumpy mash and a dessertspoon of undrained greens. Would have sent it back but had to take medication. £12.95p I refused to pay for starter and was virtually called a liar by two members of staff that it was returned to kitchen. Paid bill but went to The Strode for a proper lunch, dessert and drinks. Their menu is extensive and varied plus did not cost a bomb. Food was well presented. Tasted amazing.

We telephoned on Tuesday evening and booked a table after trying twice mid-week in the summer only to discover they were fully booked. Having visited we now know why!The above heading says it all, with the benefit of very friendly local residents making the 90 mile drive from Painswick worth while and certainly one to be repeated inspite of the width of the A39 in places which caused the modern wide lorries to stop and wait for a similar vehicle coming the other way. Yet another downside of being part of the EU which we joined originally for TRADE, not GOVERNMENT from Brussels by unelected employees.Apologies for comments on EU but at 83 I am appalled at the lack of knowledge amongst the younger generation on what happened after 1940 and the massive debt owed to the UK by the EU, the main ones being freedom and life.

We were a Group. A village luncheon club that caters for elderly and disabled people in our community. We were comprised of our diners and our volunteers. Each year we have a sunmer outing and this year opted for something a little more simple than boats and trains and chose a scenic coach trip and a meal. A fish restaurant was idea as our equipment does not allow us to cook fish and it is often requested.The meals were very anple and well cooked and the deserts very well received. The service was excellent. The response from our members was unaminously positive.Thank you.

This is a unique business, having both a very busy coffee shop, within a wool shop, selling large selections of materials, sewing needs and gifts. Its always busy, serving up light breakfasts, lunches and a vast array of delicious cakes and treats. I have given a rating of 4 out of 5, as the place needs a bigger venue, this is how nice it is.

We visited for Sunday lunch . We thought it was very over priced for the quality of food we had . The garlic mushrooms , just a few mushrooms in some cream not particularly tasting of garlic,The beef was nicely cooked but the roast potatoes tasted as if they had been heated over and over and so were not eaten , a few mixed vegetables well cooked but few . Cauliflower cheese was extra not really tasting of cheese. The desert : the crumble was lovely but my sticky toffee pudding was a dry sponge , not in anyway moist , on a plate with a toffee sauce around it , the ginger ice cream was delicious . I feel these where gourmet pub prices for a Wetherspoon quality meal

Unfortunately our experience here on Sunday 1st September 2019 was not a good one, we were looking forward to a hot Sunday Roast- sadly this was not the case- we had roast pork with very undercooked veg, the roast potatoes were not properly roasted- all served with some sort of mustard sauce and no gravy - the pork was so thinly sliced it had the appearance of mass produced box meats - additionally the meals were warm and not hot - at £13.00 per roast it was not good value for money.The front of house staff were very hospitable and helpful with nice décor - but the overall atmosphere was a bit clinical for a lovely looking County Inn on a busy Road - its a shame as we were returning customers from several years ago where we had enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere - however this was not to be on our last visit :(Hello, Thank you for taking time to give feedback. We're very sorry to hear that you weren't completely satisfied with your meal. We pride ourselves on the qualty of our food, and it sounds like your meal didn't meet the high standard that we aim to provide. We have passed your comments onto the kitchen and will be working on all of the issues you raised. We're glad to hear that our staff were professional and friendly, and hope that we get the chance to show you how amazing our food can be with another visit in the future.

This place is excellent not just because of the great pub food but also because of the lovely team that run the place. It's busy so book ahead to make sure you get your table. And if you're looking for a B&B try The Old Stables - a lovely place to stay just a 5-minute walk away.

We were staying for two nights in Shepton Mallet at Longbridge House down the road. This restaurant was a delightful discovery! Very private and small, with very attentive service from the owner, we were extremely warmly welcomed. The food was just wonderful, cooked with love and just delicious! There was nothing that we could fault. we enjoyed it so much that we came again a second time as we wanted to try other items on the menu. We would not find a single fault. Everything was cooked to perfection, the wine choices were excellent and the desserts were just wonderful! I cannot praise this little gem in Shepton Mallet any higher and I wish the owners all the success and happiness for the future! Thank you for a wonderful two evenings!

Came here for lunch the other day. It was busy but our meal arrived remarkably quickly, given the number of people there. Lovely menu. Good food, really tasty and they do smaller portions if you want to cater for people with smaller appetities. Really couldn't fault it. Will be back.

Recommended to us by the owner of a holiday cottage nearby, the recommendation was worth it for the quality of the steak I enjoyed, along with the chips and the accompaniments. Not the biggest range of food on the menu, and if my wife was writing the review she might have given 4* as the lasagna was not to her taste (plenty of mince, but only one layer of pasta, and to her taste a rather thick coating of cheese on top). Portions quite large. Would have liked a "lighter" option for desserts, the three on offer on the day we ate were quite stodgy so we settled for just coffees. Booked a table as it was a Saturday but it wasn't overly busy (in June but before the Glastonbury festival) and our reserved table (along with several others) was in the bar area near the kitchen rather than the restaurant area. Never-the-less quite pleasant surroundings. Service was unhurried - occasionally difficult to get the waitress' attention.
