"Me and my partner and my parents have been on holiday in the Cotswolds the last few days. Last night was our last night so we all wanted to choose a different but nice place to go out and eat. Where we were staying this place had been recommended quite a few times and with it being an Italian something we all enjoy we thought let’s give it a try. It was only 13mins away from where we was staying so we didn’t have to travel for ages. We made our way once we got into the village of Malmesbury which I must say a lovely little village lots of places to eat, the only thing is this place we ate at didn’t have its own car park so we had to park and walk but this was a few minutes away so it wasn’t far. We was greeted by a lovely girl who showed us to our table. We ordered some drinks and browsed through the menus. The restaurant was fairly quiet with a few others eating but it was nice for us to all be out together and have somewhere where we could hear each others conversations. We then ordered our food. We started off with starters. I had the dough balls with garlic butter always a favourite, my Mum had the portobello mushroom with tomato, chilli, halloumi and onions with a small dressing of salad. My Dad and partner had the garlic flatbread one with halloumi the other with mozzarella. We all enjoyed these. Main courses My Mum and I both had the Italian pasta bolognaise which was lovely just the right amount of pasta and bolognaise with some Parmesan over the top. My partner had the special pizza that was on offer with pepperoni added on. And my Dad had a chicken kind of pizza that he enjoyed too. It was a really lovely evening and the food was just amazing. WELL DONE CHEF) The restaurant itself was really beautifully designed with bird cages, birds, old instruments decorated around the room. It was a lovely place to be. Soon after we felt there was room for puddings. Again a wide selection of choices. Me and my Mum didn’t have one we just enjoyed a coffee but my partner and Dad both had the salted caramel crunch sundaes which they both thoroughly enjoyed. As this was our last evening of our holiday we travelled back home today) we would highly recommend and we hope to return some day too!"

"On arrival you drive onto an industrial site, yes they make brushes! Then when you pull up at the front of the factory you come across the entrance to the brush shop, then into a spacious eating area. First impressions… large and very clean. Now...very clean and tidy makes for a good experience ….. and here goes…… on entering the restaurant, greeted by staff, we had booked on line and if you do and register you can then get a reduction in your bill. As we got there at when it opens we were asked where we wanted to sit, nice move. All very good drinks ordered and shortly arrived then ordered food one vegetarian and one full breakfast. It’s freshly cooked so will take a bit of time but it arrived and was tasty and presented well. I must say the English breakfast is very nice. My wife’s vegetarian breakfast though lovely was a bit salty. So if on a low salt diet tell them…. No rush to get you out and by it was filling up. Payment was easy and in all a very good experience though a tad expensive. Now here comes the good bits… Would I go again……. Yes Would I recommend ….. yes It’s very different .. lovely staff… good food though a bit salty… I must say the premises are lovely and clean and the toilets are up to a star plus hotel. Well done and just think you can buy a brush on the way out… Thanks to all the staff Oh and booking online will guarantee you a table.."

"I turn 50 soon and decided there would be no better way to celebrate it than at the Red Lion with 8 close friends (4 couples). The team there were great about sorting out reservations in the Troutbeck and the rooms were a real hit...with our friends, none of whom had ever stayed there before. They are total luxury and beautifully decorated. When this was all arranged we were offered the private dining room upstairs, which we had never seen, and as the first person in the wow factor was massive! It's just the most beautiful setting and I could not wished for anything better. After being seated we were introduced to Vicky who looked after us all night with real care and nothing was too much for her. before longs lots of cocktails arrived, which were delicious and the With Thunderous Applause' toffee apple cocktail was a real hit. What to say about the food???? AMAZING! Each dish that arrived looked amazing, tasted fantastic and everyone was so, so happy with their choices. i had the smoked haddock scotch egg then the venison and was so happy with my choices. The chateaubriand looked amazing and the chips are the best ever. We all had desserts and the panna cotta, passion fruit tart, cheese and creme brulee were just the best way to finish. After a bit of port, sake, scotch or whatever to finish we left full, happy and having had the most amazing time. It's an evening I'll never forget, thank you everyone and, as ever, the breakfasts the next morning really hit the spot!"
