I would highly recommended stopping by at the cotswolds for the day, there are so many activities you can do. Parking is great book online before £14 per car. The aqua park is also great fun (book online before) 1 hour session on the giant inflatable suitable for all ages that can pass the swim test of 20 metres out to the aqua park. Staff are lovely and helpful check there website out

Very cute little place 😍😁👍 great for kids! Good price to get in, per car around £10-20 per car with whoever in. We had a nice day there, in July, while the kids were off...so was very busy! But still very nice to go visit. Maybe when it's quieter next time 👍

We had a really nice day. It was far busier than expected for a school day. It would be quite nice if there was a 12+ area as sad toddlers sort of take away from the relaxing atmosphere but hey ho. The crazy golf shack didn't have staff in so we waited around 15 mins before someone showed up yo give us the clubs, already paid in the shop, not the most inspired course but it was ok and only five pound. We didn't go on the aqua park but it was bookable and looked good fun. Good selection of ice creams and drink. Toilets are unisex which was nice to see inclusivity. No issues. We walked around the whole lake, leaving chairs etc unattended, no issues. Will definitely go back.

We booked ahead by 4 days & caught a very hot day. There was plenty of natural shade off the beach area to stay cool in ! The water was cool but not cold & obviously busy as families splashed around. I counted 4 lifeguards !! Very vigilant and perhaps when it's very busy ball games in the water should be discouraged!! Everything was clean, the bins were emptied every hour & toilets looked like it was the beginning of the day...not the end! Well done cleaning teams! We loved our day & will bring our grandkids back soon.

What beautiful hidden gem 😍..... The trip to this place was so so so exciting and amazing. My kids really had a fun time. The beach area was so good for swimming and playing in 💦 the park area the beautiful swan boating connected to a small island in centre wow really awesome . Must visit place but don't forget only in summer super sunny hot days 😉 they also have a BBQ PLACE TOOO

Took my 3 children and had a wonderful time. There is so much to do. There are two play parks, a toddler paddle area, swimming and family area, sandy beach. Row, pedal and motor boat hire, snack shack, crazy golf and more. What I loved was that everything had been thought out. So many picnic benches, some shade cabins and BBQ spots. Will definitely revisit!!

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that we have such a fantastic location in the UK. With its lovely weather, it's an ideal spot for a day out. The area offers a beautiful beach, various water sports, boating opportunities, and plenty of food and drink options. There are also activities that can be enjoyed with your dog, such as the swan boat ride, making it a great place for pet owners as well!

We visited on a really hot day, arrival by car to what felt very South of France vibe. Shaded outside cafe, much appreciated at the end of our walk. We then started walking through both sunny and shaded woodland. A very eclectic selection of sculpture from small to a huge white polar bear. Thoroughly enjoyed our morning and would definitely recommend a visit to others.

Well worth a visit. Free parking in a gravel surfaced car park with a short walk to the entrance and cafe (which you can visit without paying). The cafe is a good place to start. Great cakes & vegetarian savoury lunch options at around £10. Under cover outside seating is available. We spent 2hrs looking around. Certainly worth visiting when there is some sunshine as it does add to the ambiance and the lighting on the sculptures. There are no steps and the paths are suitable for wheelchairs and buggies etc. If you happen to have membership to Westonbirt Arboretum, you can get 2 for 1 adult tickets, so £5 each 👍☺️.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit, walking around admiring all the sculptures in natural surroundings. Well worth the visit even though it was a very windy day with showers. There is even a small cafe with undercover outdoor seating. Will definitely visit again one day.

Over a hundred sculptures in a lovely wooded landscape. Easy to walk around with a good written guide (free with entry). Car parking on site. Takes about two hours to walk round at a leisurely pace. Plenty of shade on sunny days and seating for a short break on your journey. It has a cafe for snacks, drinks or lunch, but didn't try it.

We had a quietly fabulous time, viewing and reviewing the amazing sculptures. This place feels like solace and offers a eclectic mix of various genres of sculptures. I was told that the exhibits change every year and sometimes more often. Well worth a visit.

What a super place to visit. Nearly 200 sculptures set amongst woodland and paths and a huge pond. A wonderful variety of sculptures of all sizes from people to animals in bronze wood and recycled things. A lovely little cafe us at the entrance and we loved our visit

A spontaneous trip to the Cotswold Sculpture Park using my Gardeners World 2for1 voucher. Thoroughly enjoyed wandering around, through the woodland looking at all the sculptures. We did not stop for refreshments at the cafe, but it all looked very nice. A flat gravel path takes you around the site. Some beautiful sculptures.

After checking the Web site for the opening hours of Cirencester Home Bargains and it finding it was open, I travelled 14 miles and arrived at 1.00pm on boxing day only to find it closed and no sign of life. If your not going to be open.. SAY SO...

Great little shops love it here. The prices are great and more affordable. The staff are also really good helpful and kind.

good value for money but the staff need some training, cannot even say hello, please or thank you, very rude

Great fun to shop at.

Incredibly rude staff. I visit this store every now and then. You usually know what to expect, it's good for a few bits and pieces. On one particular visit I chose to leave an item on the shelf that I no longer wanted to buy, granted I left it in a different place to where it was stocked but the response from the shop assistant left me speechless. The blonde lady rushed over, grabbed the item and aggressively said "I guess you don't want this anymore, I suppose I'll put this back then". Her tone was completely out of line and unacceptable.

This is my go to home bargains as it is my most local. Unfortunately it only gets four stars as i use it a lot for birthday supplies and it is always birthday supplies that they run low on! Wether it be banners, balloons or candles. Other than that, staff always seem to be happy and the store always seems to be clean. Lots of parking too.

A great shop, full of bargains and you can never leave without something. Pop in for one thing come out with bags full. Store.is tidy and well presented, lots of stock and plenty to look at. Staff are always busy but happy to point you in the right direction if you can't find something. Some of the till staff are a little slow and one ID'd my partner after be had paid for his alcohol, which was odd..

Zero star is not available to give a proper feedback. Portion size upgrade is a big scam, especially fries. I was curious what is the difference for extra money. Not a lot. The drink and the popcorn chicken were slightly bigger. The fries are not impressive. They put the fries in different packing. However the difference was neglectable. Maybe 2pcs more fries in large vs regular. I seriously suggest that just pay for regular because extra money doesn't worth the upgrade.

Clean inside. Great choice of food, not a great selection if you don't eat meat, but it is a chicken restaurant! Having said that, it wouldn't matter to me if they had a huge selection as I would always go for their vegan burger... It's the best I've had, just amazing, my only complaint is there could be more options with it, like make it a tower burger/box meal, add another burger etc. Food arrived piping hot which is just how I like it 😁

I have not been to a KFC for a while, today the KFC at Cirencester reminded me why. They now use a special breed of dwarf chickens here. Plus, the potato famine has affected the size of the chip portions. Lots of money, for small measly portions. Be a while before I go again.

Got almost every part of the food order wrong, asked for a 3-piece, received a 2-piece, the server didn't understand that sides aren't included with an original recipe chicken meal and specially asked for ketchup instead of supercharger sauce on the burger, twice, but got home to find the hot sauce was used. I was asked for an order number although I was never given one. The food was good, shame about the service. Do not rely on them getting it right

Good food, hot and fresh. The tables weren’t the best, left dirty and uncleared. Undesirable people were congregating inside and outside. Order was marked as ready for collection but a further 5 minutes passed regardless.

Ordered through uber eats. Food came after nearly 2 hours and was wrong when it came. Food was awful. Chips soggy, no drinks and luke warm chicken. We are staying on the lower mill estate I would avoid ordering from this location. I appreciate the delivery delay was due to uber eats but It came direct and kfc sent it out in that state. Nevermind forgetting the drinks…

Fair price and good food. Very quick service. Eating two paying 14£

We wandered down from the Lower Mill Estate and enjoyed a fantastic Sunday roast here. Nice atmosphere - busy - book ahead to be safe. Friendly team and perfect portion size for a great Sunday lunch 😃

Lovely, attentive staff and food was great, two had the pie, wonderful review on both accounts, lamb Ragu was sublime if a little moist. Halloumi burger very good. Keep up the good work guys

It cashless, so that's not to my liking. Cash is king! Keep cash!! 4 stars. It was a nice place. £10.50 for a pint and a bacardi and coke. 2025

Lovely cosy transitional pub with a good selection of beers and wines. Staff were excellent and food was fantastic too. Eat there twice over the weekend, on the Friday evening, burger was excellent and again on Sunday for a roast which was also very nice. Just a shame it closes early on a Sunday and we would have stayed and settled in for an evening session.

The most warmest and welcoming of pubs with incredibly delicious food! We had such a wonderful Sunday roast whilst on holiday at Lower Mill Estate that we returned a few nights later for fish and chips! Would highly recommend

We were staying nearby and booked a table at the Baker's Arms for dinner on the Monday night. The food was fantastic, its a small menu so between us we ordered most of the dishes and they were all excellent. The service was brilliant too. We would highly recommend.

My visit to The Baker's Arms was for a family celebration (11 guests). The booking was straightforward and updates in the approach to the date timely and reassuring. On arrival, we were greeted heartwarmingly, and shown to the table. The seating area was stunning and had a VIP feel to it: cosy atmosphere with tea lights flickering gently on the table, beautiful artwork on the walls, plenty of space to sit and move around, the sound quality of the entire area making chatter from nearby tables barely audible (which was particularly appreciated as we could enjoy our conversations without straining to speak or hear each other). The service was amazing, and for that I wish to thank Ruth and Karen, who made sure that a high chair was provided for the youngest guest in the party, that our drinks arrived promptly and that food was served in a streamlined fashion, so everyone got to enjoy it as a family. The dishes were hearty, flavoursome and tantalising in aroma and texture, and for that all compliments go to the expertise and culinary passion of the chef and their team. I highly recommend the signature Baker's Beefburger that will make you want to stay and order one more, and the Steak and Cotswold ale pie accompanied with melt-in-the-mouth mashed potato, tender buttered beans and honey-glazed carrot. The puddings menu will tease you and any effort to resist the choices will be futile, so make sure to leave some room to indulge one or two dessert flavours, too!

We went Sunday and the food was amazing. This was topped by the exceptional, friendly and accommodating staff. Josh the lad with curly hair in the restaurant was absolutely amazing attending to the table with a lovely engaging pleasant manor and looking after us throughout the meal. He was also very patient when we had to tell him specific allergies. Thanks again Josh you made the meal experience top quality and a real pleasure.

Excellent Place, we booked for breakfast but a visit for a midweek meal, or Sunday lunch will soon be on the cards. I had full English and my wife had scrambled eggs on toast. The best coffee we have had for ages. Great Service and set by a small brook. Lovely outside area too.

Cozy and the ambiance is great. There is a cricket club behind the Inn where you can let your furbaby have a run around. Just dont forget to pick up the mess. We went for Sunday roast and it didnt disappoint.

Some of the best food we have ever had! Highly recommend the chicken burger, hot dog, beef with red wine and mussels (seriously the best mussels I’ve ever had in my life!), thanks to Alexis, Tatiana and hardy for their first class service - they couldn’t do enough for us!

Great atmosphere and food. Staff incredibly helpful and friendly. Me and my son ordered the Sunday roast and the burger. Both were excellent. It is recommended to book a table as it's quite full. In our case we didn't and the team were kind enough to allow us to have our lunch at their lounge as the restaurant was fully booked.

The fish and chips were unbelievable and reasonably priced for the size of the portion, which was LARGE! Our waiter was really funny and helpful and gave excellent recommendations. We were at The Pig the night before which was double the price and not as tasty in my opinion. The atmosphere in the Crown was a bit intense when we arrived as there was a wedding on and I had no idea where the actual restaurant was or who the front of house was, but once we got around that issue it was fine. Lastly, the sticky toffee pudding was probably up there with one of the best I've had. All in all, I would highly recommend this place. There's also a nice river you can walk to around the back.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at The Crown in Ampney! There were nine of us in total, including two children, and the whole afternoon was perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and it was great to see how kid-friendly the place was without losing its charm for the adults. The food was exceptional – every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. You can really tell that a lot of care goes into both the ingredients and the cooking. A special shoutout to our waiter, Harvey, who was truly outstanding. He was friendly, attentive, and made us all feel so well looked after — nothing was too much trouble. We couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. Highly recommend The Crown to anyone looking for amazing food, wonderful service, and a relaxed, family-friendly vibe. We’ll definitely be back!

Hosted a large birthday party for 18 people in a private dining room. Really attentive staff providing excellent service. Catered for gluten free really well and amended the pre-order at the last minute. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was enjoyed by all, with a good range to choose from. After dinner, we were able to sit in the courtyard to cool off, with really comfortable seating and a nice environment.

A beautiful place in the centre of Cirencester. Lovely building and really nicely decorated inside. Was busy on Sunday for Sunday lunch. We had a drink and booked a table for 7pm andnit was still busy then. The staff are excellent, knowledgeable on the area and the Fleece and very helpful. The food was delicious we had the haddock and chips and the steaknin ale pie. Delicious food and large portions. The beer is great too reallh fresh ale i can recommend.

I stayed at The Fleece as a family party of 8 for a wedding weekend. The location was prefect for the town and church. We had a meal in the Fleece restaurant which was lovely and great service. The breakfast menu had plenty of choice and was lovely. Would definitely book again when visiting Cirencester.

Great service and food. Lovely pub and restaurant and lots of stunning little areas to choose to eat. Went with 3 small kids and they were very accommodating. Kids menu with colouring in paper and pens.

We arrived on Mon 14th Oct. Booked a feature room - not cheap! We had no heating, as boiler issue. Wasn't informed when we checked in. Had a small heater instead. Was offered a smaller room overlooking the noisy town centre. We declined this as it was not i had booked. Had a meal and half of the menu was unavailable. Got woke up at 7am but the bottles being emptied. You pay a premium price for a nice room to be above the kitchen. On check out we settle out bill. The manor reception lady asked how was out stay. We explained, she was said the boiler was ok, but she would reach out to me. As I expected.......... Nothing. I wouldn't recommend staying here. A drink maybe that about all.

Did not stay in the hotel, but made the mistake of popping in for a drink at Sunday lunchtime and saw the food delivered to another table! 2 beef and Yorkshire pudding lunches were ordered and thoroughly enjoyed. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

This is such an amazing hotel, restaurant and pub. It dates back to 1461. Quirky and fun. The staff is top notch. Perfect location in a fun little town in the Cotswolds. Highly recommend!

We have passed this restaurant many times, looked at the menu and thought we really should try it. Well this week we did. It was lunchtime on a Tuesday lunchtime and it was quiet, so getting a table was not a problem. I suspect during busier periods booking would be sensible. The ambience was good with quite a chilled vibe. Service was very quick, friendly and professional. The menu is extensive enough for all tastes and whilst not cheap, proved to be excellent value for money given the quality of the food and the care taken in preparing it. The wine list is good, with a good selection of wines by the glass. I ordered one of the risottos because a) I love a good risotto and b) I find it's a reasonable way of gauging the care and skill of the chef. Mine was extremely good! Likewise my wife's chicken and roasted vegetable salad. My coffee semifredo was delightful and a mention should go to the olives which we had instead of a starter, excellent. So if you enjoy Italian food that is made with skill and care, do give this place a visit, it'll be worth it.

Came here for my partners 30th birthday tonight. All we can say is WOW, the food was outstanding, completely faultless we did not want it to end. We were full but still had food envy watching other tables food come out after eating ours, as it was simply that delicious. Could not fault this place from start to finish, thank you for an unforgettable evening. PS, make sure you book ahead, we saw at least 5 couples get turned away due to not booking - make sure you do, you won’t regret it.

On a Friday night, upon arrival with no booking, the manager skillfully and kindly prepared us a table in a few minutes. Food was splendid. Attention to details was seen in penne pesto served with pine nuts. Pizza was delicious to its dough. Gelato - sorbet with cream based added a lovely touch. Not to mention their limoncello spritz. Wonderful place of delicious meal and ambience

Had a great lunch today—penne was full of flavour and satisfying. Tasty onions rings. Ambience and Aura was calming. Friendly service. Will visit again.

A Slice of Italy in Every Bite – From the moment we stepped into this charming Italian gem, we were swept away by the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, offering genuine smiles. Their passion for Italian cuisine truly shines through. Now, the star of the show: the authentic Neapolitan pizza. Crafted with a beautifully blistered sourdough base, it was light, airy, and packed with deep, fermented flavor – the kind you’d expect in the heart of Naples. Topped with fresh ingredients and baked to perfection, it was nothing short of phenomenal. I wish if they can do Vegetarian options like Veg Supreme. The overall service was excellent, with each course arriving at a comfortable pace and presented with care. We did indulge in dessert, and while the affogato was a nice finish, it fell a little short of the traditional Italian preparation – a richer espresso and a smoother gelato would elevate it to the standard of the rest of the meal. It’s worth noting that prices lean on the higher end, but given the quality of the food, service, and setting, it still feels like a fantastic experience overall.

A lovely place to lunch. The food and atmosphere are amazing. We had spaghetti bolognaise and carbonara. Followed by Torte Al Lemoncella and coffee all superb. The staff are friendly and efficient. Highly recommended

The food was so delicious, fresh and hot, though we were slightly disappointed with the antipasti price. Great wine list. Fabulous friendly, attentive staff. The pizza chef was great and obviously took so much pride in his work, cleaning down everything when not making pizzas. A great restaurant with a lovely atmosphere.

Lovely outdoor swimming pool! Originally opened up in 1870! It is heated but only heated to 26 degrees, so can be still cold 🥶 - the facilities are lovely and clean! Tuck shop is reasonably prices! They have loads of seating area and they encourage you bring your own food! They dont have bins but will take their own rubbish back! As they recycle and the public werent doing it probably! Another downside is the isnt any parking on site, so we parked at abbey grounds and walks through some public footpaths, about 5-10min walk. The is 1 slide and the is a little pool for little ones and they have some water toys for children to play with! Also the isnt a time limit on your stay, we turned up at 2pm when drop inn swim time opens and we stayed til 4.30pm.

Visited on 26/8/25 bank holiday Monday (28 degrees) , arrived around 4.30pm and only had to wait 5 minutes to get in. The staff were lovely and the pool was clean and well maintained. Water did feel a little chilly but once you was in it soon warmed up. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Great first experience and swim. I was a bit wary about trying, but couldn't have been more impressed. From Ian helping on the phone with extra accommodations to greeting me in person. Thanks also to Tam and Sally for helping me set up an account with patience. The pool was lovely and clean, changing rooms spotless and a lovely atmosphere. I am recovering from a slipped disc in my back, the whole team were lovely and caring to the point that a male lifeguard took the time to check in that I was ok. Really lovely place with a great vibe. Thank you!

Fabulous large family open air swimming pool in the heart of Cirencester, lovely and warm, great facilities, tuck shop and sparkling clean. Perfect for a half term visit today.

This is a wonderful local lido facility. It has a child's pool and an adult pool. The child's pool has toys for the kids and the adults pool has a small slide. There is plenty of seating and a little cafe that sells hot drinks and snacks. The changing rooms are spacious and very clean. You have to pay to use the showers but they're really well kept. The parking is tough but I parked in a local car park and walked to it with the kids. All in all for 2 adults and 2 kids it cost my £16 and there was no time limit to using it.

Excellent place; staff, lifeguards and volunteers are very friendly and helpful; pool is large, clean and warm and; pools have a good range of depths, from a baby/toddler pool to a pool with shallow and deep sections for all swimming abilities. Facilities are on site including: changing areas, toilets, lockers, showers, benches, floatation devices and a food and drink shack. Online booking and drop-in sessions are both easy to do. However, no parking is available dedicated to the Open Air Pool, so car parks nearby must be used to then walk to the destination.

We visited the pool for the first time today. We parked at one of the public car parks and walked about 10 mins to the pool. We were anxious about whether it would be too busy and whether we'd get into the drop in session (and had a back-up plan), but we went straight in with no queue and were told there was actually space for lots more people. Prices are great. The pool and changing facilities were cleaner and in better condition than Wiltshire Council-run leisure centres. And when there were enough lifeguards on duty, the slide (8+, otherwise adult needed in attendance) was a big hit. The refreshments hut served various instant snacks (teas, coffees, packaged ice creams). We'll certainly return some time! Also, everyone except the lifeguards are volunteers, so be kind. They're giving up their time to run it.

Such a lovely part of Cirencester, some lovley trees, a play park for the children. A lake with benches nearby, a duck feeder, such a nice idea. The park is also home to the free Phoenix Festival.

Beautiful small park with a flat, circular walk. Interesting 'ice house' archaeological feature. Wildlife aplenty to spot. Love it and visit frequently. Toilets are newly updated and much nicer to use. Right by town centre too, so easy to grab lunch.

Came across park as I’d sheltered in church from the rain. I was pleasantly surprised at the green oasis right in the middle of Cirencester. Dogs are allowed to run off lead on the grassed area and there are numerous seats facing the lake to rest.

Beautiful place and very peaceful. Full of history

This is a beautiful place with a picturesque view from all angles. A lake full of water birds lots of grass, benches places to sit and soak up the views. Flowers poppies wild flowers trees and most importantly a clean tidy park to enjoy. The Abbey Grounds Park is my favourite kind of place with lots to see and loads of space to walk and sit with a picnic or walk the dog. Plus a great outdoor learning play area for youngsters. 👍

An enormous green space with some flowerbeds and many trees. Dogs north of the water must be on a lead, but south of it, apparently not. Signs are many, officious and threatening and occasionally conflicting. Popular place in warm weather, there's also a kids playground at the north end.

Such a beautiful park, lots of open space, a lake with ducks/swans and a woodland area. When visiting Cirencester (Oct ‘23) this park was a beautiful place to walk with the dogs in the early evening! Historical Roman Town wall and Roman Abbey remains to view too!!

Great little place to get a waffle snack. Good choices. Where else could you get a ‘Baked Bean Waffle’…..delicious!

What a lovely cafe, great choice of waffles from sweet to savoury. Coffee was smooth and tasty which I had along with my sweet strawberry waffle. 😋😋 So light fluffy and very very tasty. Staff very friendly , polite and efficient. And I just love the name of the cafe, very ingenious. A cafe owned by a fabulous female run by friendly girls. Up with women's lib 👍

Hands down the best waffle I’ve ever tasted! The salted caramel with banana was delicious. Quick service and a friendly smile. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Great place for a weekend family treat. The waffles and choice of options on the menu are great and the staff are very friendly and do a great job. The place itself could do with a bit of a spruce up as it’s very tired but that won’t stop us heading back for more waffles 🤤

Excellent waffles and friendly service!

What a great find, we had a raft if different waffles including a customised one for a picky 5 year old. They were great, they were make fresh, took no time at all and were scrummy. My bacon and maple syrup one was the best and even came with a fresh side salad.

We would have visited just for the name, but the sign outside sealed the deal: we ALWAYS chose waffles! We continue to visit because the waffles are great and they have so many topping options. I've tried several, both savory and sweet, and they've all been delicious. They also have really good hot chocolate, which is always a plus in my book. I took a star off because the seating arrangements are not the best, tables are really close to each other, very tight and not comfortable.

Worth visiting for some fine architectural and other features. A large and impersonal building lacking atmosphere. Large number of unused pews in the main building while a service was on, attended by four people, in a side room. Not a church that is welcoming . But as an historical relic worth a look

I am aware of how many houses of the holy I'm getting through looking for the smiting one. Let's be clear, they're all magnificent structures. They're all remarkably well built, the craftsmanship is second to none and this example is fairly typical of how good they all are. My mind is blown on a regular basis and will continue to be blown as long as I remain untouched by lightning 🌩 bolt.

I’m not a Christian, but I love visiting churches when I travel, because I can feel the history, culture, and life in them. St. John the Baptist Church in Cirencester is a symbol of the town. I was captivated by its delicate architecture. I recently saw the musical “SIX” and became interested in the six queens, so when I found that there was a “Boleyn Cup” here, I was so excited!

The Church is beautiful, lovely service and I was made to feel very welcome ❤️ there is a fantastic selection of things to buy in the shop and the staff are very helpful. I will never forget my time here and I will definitely be back in the near future. God Bless you all 🙏🏻🕊️

Fantastic town excellent Baptist Church not religious but love buildings this is definitely one to go look around

Free to visit but they do ask for donations. Little shop inside, very pretty well worth a visit.

An excellent parish church which is large and grand enough to be a Cathedral. There are plenty of interesting exhibits inside the church, including some amazing monumental brasses and a Lego model of how Cirencester Abbey used to look. There is also a shop and a visitor book inside.

Pro: Great food. Con: Took 2 hrs to get our food. Con: It was freezing inside with AC since we spent hrs in total to get food Pro: They had blankets when I asked. Con: This delay caused us to take the food home instead as we lost our appetite Con: we missed our evening plans due to this, and forgot about the overstayed car parking.. Pro: I looked for the manager who took the correct steps to try to resolve their mistakes, and had a word with their staff who made the mistake. Things offered wasn't suitable but had some discount on the food. Con: Since the service was bad, I removed this. Con: We were actually sat by the stairs (enterance and till) so they walked past many times but never checked on the fact we haven't ate anything for 2hrs. Pro: desserts was nice. Con: It was a first special occasion so it was a shame it went like that for us, and my partner having to stress about something that was the restaurants control/ out of his control, and I handled the situation. Reservation was 7pm, we arrived 6:50pm. Left there 9:30-10pm.

Everything was perfect! From our French onion soup and salad to my salmon and veggies and my husbands burger! The mousse was to die for as well for dessert!

Excellent service and delicious food. We were served quickly, the staff were polite and friendly. Special thanks to our waiter, Constantin, for his attentiveness and professionalism. The wine recommendation was spot on and perfectly matched our dishes. The only minor drawback was the noise level due to closely placed tables. Overall, a pleasant dining experience — we’ll be happy to return.

We had an absolutely fabulous Sunday lunch on 9th November. We arranged this as a birthday lunch for our mother who is 82. We have been to Cote Cirencester on a number of occasions in the past and repeatedly look to come back because of how wonderful the experience is each time – and last Sunday was no different. The atmosphere is perfect for families, young and old. We have found it increasingly difficult to find restaurants which don’t insist on blaring out music or where the sound is echoey and background noise very clattery which makes hearing hard and conversation difficult. The ambience and environment created in Cote Cirencester is a perfect atmosphere. The food is sensational. Our starters and mains were all delicious. The roast chickens were superb and the description from our waiter that they were so fresh was evident in the cooking and in the tasting. The free flow fries were an outstanding menu option. We were also impressed with the options available for gluten and dairy free dietary requirements and the waiter was very helpful in explaining and facilitating this from the menu. All in all another excellent experience and above all the whole lunch was made memorable by our superb waiter Constantin. He was always friendly, warm and helpful. Throughout he brought humour and a genuine sense of care and sincere attentiveness which projected a strong desire for us all at our table to have a good time without this seeming forced or false – it was natural and made us all feel relaxed and very welcome. Constantin combines a well judged sense of humour with very strong customer service orientation and he helped make the experience all the more enjoyable. Special thanks to him. We will certainly be back again for another repeat visit.

Scallops to start, Cote de Boeuf for mains and Paris-Brest and macarons to finish. All washed down with a lovely Picpoul. Perfect evening. Constantin looked after us exceptionally well, as usual. Top marks all round!

We came across Cote as a result of walking around Cirencester lanes looking for a place to have an evening meal. Having been to a Cote previously we were pleased to find one in Cirencester. Having had a warm welcome we were attended by Constantin. He was brilliant. He talked us through the menu in terms of what we had chosen and he was also able to comment on the menu items that he had sampled himself. During the meal he checked on us to make sure that all was to our liking. This wasn't done in an intrusive way but merely to check if all was ok. The unlimited free fries with certain selections of the meal were a welcome bonus. I'd certainly visit again.

I came into cote the other day and had a wonderful experience as well as meal. Special mention goes to Elyse as she didn't miss a detail for some of my specific dietary requirements nor made it feel like a hassle to be so diligent with them! 100% will come again and can't speak highly enough of the staff (especially Elyse!)

Absolutely disgusting soggy no effort went into making this very much disappointing will not be ordering subway again as this isnt the first time ! It was meant to be tuna with extra cheese jalapenos and salad !!

Ordered the meal deal, enjoyed the food inside the shop drank the drink (coke from the machine) took the top of the drink to put the wrapping found a large number of dead flys stuck to the inside of the cup. apparently dispence by the machine. Manager only offered a replacement drink for the fly contaminated machine

All windows were completely steamed up with condensation, not a good look, first impressions very poor. Staff were friendly but service was slow. The loaded bacon and cheese melt I ate was delicious, the dispensed Fanta drink did not taste like Fanta, it tasted awful, I couldn't drink it.

Great staff and manager. Customised my sub by "hollowing out the bread", toasting peppers/onions. Good franchise.

Lovely staff, very friendly and the sandwiches are so fresh

Great service from a particular member of staff, refused to tell me his name for credit, top bloke.

Worst Subway I've ever had. Toasted sub was in for about 15 seconds and was stone cold. Was suggested what to put in to my sub when I'm quite capable of choosing what I want. Absolutely shocking state of cleanliness during such times too. Embarrassing to be honest!

Lovely family pub in the beautiful Cirencester. The indoor is really beautiful, very well kept and cosy. Food was delicious: i had their burger, my fiancee a fish and chips and my parents the steak. Service was attentive, friendly, the team was very well trained. Well done Bear Inn!

Popped in for a bite of lunch when visiting the area. Really nice food and atmosphere. We sat in the outside area which was dog friendly. My only criticism would be that it took a while for food to arrive but it was worth the wait x

I came with my dad for the Father’s Day menu, we both ended up having the same delicious two-course dinner. The atmosphere was lively and Alannah was friendly and helpful throughout. A wonderful meal after a warm day at the car show!

Stopped off on a journey thru. What a little gem. Right on the high street & close to the Forum car park. I had the hummus bowl 👌🏼*chef’s kiss and an ice cold G&T on one of the hottest days of the year. Garden seating too and rooms. Cheers guys!!

It always helps when you visit a new place in the summertime but the outdoor garden area was really pleasant, especially with having a dog, just sat off Dyer Street was perfect for having a few beers. We waited until the main menu at 5pm and the food was amazing, they even do a dog chew menu 😃🍻

Quite a large place with a decent patio area at the front. Usual tap beers and a few real ales available. Staff were friendly and polite. Decently decorated. Enjoyed my visit.

Such a lovely experience all round, the team fitted us in at the last minute by taking our pre order on the phone so we could eat before the kitchen closed. The quality and presentation of the food was beautiful, and the staff were so sweet with our 1 year old. We honestly couldn't have asked for more.

Josh was fantastic and was a charmer!! He was so help-full with our weird dietary requests as we were both starving at this point ( me and my mum) We had a vegan panini, a pie and a extra salad with a large glass of wine and tap water :) He made the visit worth while so thank you sir we had a lovely time at the pub! 🏳️‍🌈

We were doing the tourist thing in town, when my super-spouse suggested that we find a pub -- not a restaurant, not an eatery, definitely not a fast-food joint. Mike, the neighborhood security guard, recommended The Crown. Good choice. SS (a Bristol native) commented on the authenticity of her steak and ale pie more than once. I went with a more absurd choice, a Southern-fried chicken burger (I'll attach a photo) -- and it was delicious. For adult bevs, we went with a Stowford cider (for her), a Belt Driver IPA (for me), and a Hugo-something Spritzer (my memory fails on that one, but it was tasty). I'd go back!

Stumbled across The Crown looking for a place to eat, and I'm glad we decided to go in. The staff is Friendly and attentive, and the place has a great atmosphere. The food is very tasty and good portion too. We ordered Chargrilled Lamb Chops, Herb Crusted Pan Fried Salmon, and Thumb Ups for the Bacon & Chorizo Mac & Cheese, absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Highly recommended.

Nice atmosphere. Dogs are welcome. Food is good quality pub fare. Steak and ale pie was very nice. Nice way of spending a Saturday afternoon in good surroundings.

Very good quality food. We had some traditional dishes like pies with chips and gravy. Baby food nice too.

On the corner opposite the church. Decently decorated and a good size place. Tap beers and a few real ales available. Staff were friendly and polite. A dog friendly place with a beer garden at the rear of the premises. Beer was alright. Enjoyed my visit.

A fairly ordinary seeming pub but the burger I had was fantastic. Chips and onion rings were excellent too.

Excellent exhibits with great educational elements! The whole family enjoyed it. The people were very informative as well.

I told one of the staff that the mannequins looked too real and were a bit scary, and then she kindly showed me around the exhibition and told me some stories. All the staff were so nice and helpful, and I learned a lot about the history of Cirencester. It’s one of my loveliest memories in Cirencester. Thank you very much!

Made the mistake of "bigging" the Corinium up in my mind before entering. Big mistake. It could never live up to what my (former) drug addled brain could imagine and when you've taken as many hallucinogens as I have in the past I was expecting to be mugged by an iron age thug or Roman centurian around every corner. It's a museum and is full of museumy things from the past. Daft thing to write as I've yet to visit a museum which looks to the future. Thought it was a tad pricey even though I got the crinkley discount. The staff were nice in the extreme. They put up with the mouthy northern one (me) without banning me from returning at some point. I hope they've forgiven me for leaving my 'up the boro' message before I departed.

An excellent museum with some quite beautiful mosaics and engaging history of Cirencester over the millennia. Let down by some sloppy attention to detail with their timeline boards. Guy Fawkes' assassination attempt was a year later and Edward VII was crowned a whole 3 years before.

Brilliantly presented museum. Small enough to get round in an hour or two yet packed with great exhibits. One of the best range of Roman exhibits I've seen. Kids really enjoyed the interactive elements and the light and open layout.

Such a fabulous museum tucked away. I can't believe we hadn't been here before. Incredible Roman mosaics. Such a swathe of Gloucestershire history. Amazing resource. Lovely volunteer showed us around the Roman section. Do visit.

Entered tobe met bt informative reception staff ! A very nice lady volunteer offered to show us around the museum. We accepted and the the 3 of us will forever be grateful for the knowledge she had and the information and explanation of the museum's wonderful displays!! Thank you !! 😊 13/11/25

A truly beautiful interior. Attracted by this décor, we celebrated our daughter's passed exam. All tables were free, the place was empty, so we could choose the one under the neon sign. In a cheerful atmosphere, we ordered 3x double scoops of ice cream. On the counter there was a price list with a clearly written price: 1 scoop £2.5 2 scoops £4. When after some time I got a confirmation from the bank that I paid £15 (£3 too much) I went to explain it to the seller. It turned out that the price on the counter was old and now it is a new changed price (in fact not displayed anywhere to verify it), the old sign has somehow mystically disappeared. To be honest, I felt cheated, because this is not the way to do business- to advertise the old price and calculate the new one without telling your customer about that (The display showed old price as the seller explained. But is it a really new price ? , because it has not been confirmed anywhere on the display nor menu). It's only £3 difference, but the bad taste remained despite the beautiful interior of this place

Very aesthetically pleasing cafe. Great for photos - super pink and floral 😆. Definitely recommend this place for anyone with a sweet tooth. Staff were kind and patient while I browsed through the menu. Cocktail was fun and tasty. Ice cream was creamy and refreshing on a hot day. The cookie dough is very sweet and sugary therefore it may be a bit much if you’re planning to get other sweet treats on the side as well. Great vibes and lovely cafe decor. Highly recommend for a little trip out, especially if you’re looking to grab something colourful and sweet.

This charming little café never fails to impress — from its beautiful aesthetic to the delicious food and irresistible bakes. I always end up taking a treat (or two) home from the counter to enjoy later! Can’t wait to visit again soon and see the new floral décor. 💖

The most gorgeous girly cafe. The food is always delicious especially the cakes. Also ordered a custom cake from here which was lovely. Also it’s great that the cafe is dog friendly. Staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Never actually been to the place, but my wife came home from a girls weekend and brought me a slab of the Milky Way Brownie from Lux.... OMG - unreal!! And I've had a fair few brownies in my time. I'm not even a massive Milky Way fan but seems to go incredibly well with the gooey, chewy, chocolatey brownie. Sensational work!! Going to have to make the 90 minute drive to get some more sometime very soon

Popped in for a little ‘lunch date’ with my daughter. It’s such a lovely location, tucked away down a quiet alleyway and the shop itself is beautiful (as you’ll be able to tell from mine and others photographs). But it’s not all style over substance. The cafe also has an incredible menu serving fantastic quality food and drinks. Finally the staff were just lovely. Really friendly and very kind to my daughter. Highly recommended. Great place.

Lovely staff and amazing food! The decor just tops it off. I came here last year when i was pregnant and now i cant wait to go back been craving it ever since!

Love the Corn Hall indoor market. Always lots to look at and buy, everyone is very friendly and helpful and the cafe is just what you need while shopping.

A collection of mostly wrinkley people selling overpriced tat which should've stayed collecting dust in the attic, where it belongs. Reminded me of my youth when the "rag and bone man" would wander the streets with his horse and cart yelling, "Any old rags, any old bones?!" He paid children with balloons, a currency more fitting in the Corn Hall, methinks. If ya wanna spend a day pointing 👉 and laughing 😃 this is the place to go.

Great antique fair there and a tasty treats cafe both open on Fridays

As a regular Trader at the Saturday Indoor Craft Market I can categorically say that the feedback I get from customers is that the Corn Hall Indoor market is a wonderful place to shop for quality handmade products on a Saturday and a whole a range of other quality products including art, ceramics and jewellery from Sunday - Thursday. The previous review was obviously about the Friday Antiques market which is indeed full of nik naks and collectibles probably found in people’s attics and appeals to collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy rummaging for a piece of treasure. The comments made do not reflect the markets held on other days of the week. As small businesses it’s important that we are supported and valued by the general public. Cirencester is a vibrant town with so much to offer visitors including experiencing the Corn Hall markets and the Diversitea cafe.

Really yummy afternoon tea with great service. Plenty to eat and good selection of sandwiches, cakes and scones. Including a special dairy free one.

You can find paintings, knitwear, soaps, candles, jewellery, clothing and more under one roof. Perfect items for birthday/christmas presents, or a little treat for yourself. Great little cafe there too.

A nice experience with a broad range of art and crafts set in a warm, dry and interesting hall. Particularly enjoyed the quirky crafts, the hare theme in the artworks and the candles and soaps.

Lovely hidden gem, with good signage, footpaths, seating, and a small, free car park. Lots of trees and birdsong, Amazing ruins covered in grass, but it's a shame you can't see the stones

Well preserved remains of largest Roman amphitheatre in UK. We worth a visit if in the area.

This amazing Amphitheatre sits on the edge of the town and is totally abandoned. It has only had one minor excavation so very little has been discovered about it. You can clearly trace the shapes of the interior, the steps on which people would have sat and the access routes into the stadium. It is such a shame that more has not been made of the site.

The Amphitheatre is very large in person, you can imagine it with all of the stone seating! Bummer that no stones are left, but visiting it gives you a sense of the scale of the site.

tall,large, covered by grass, it used to be monunental, now it serves for dogs.

Somewhat underwhelming overall. Nice for a walk from the town center (though walking there is not well posted). Not sure why, and I had not read any reviews so my bad, but I was somehow expecting a few stones or remnants, but it is basically just a grassy area where the amphitheater was.

Impressive. Adds to one's appreciation of the significance of Cirencester in terms of British Roęmano history. Nice place for a picnic on a sunny day.

We had a lovely meal here with some friends and family, and everything was spot on from start to finish. The restaurant looks fantastic after the recent refurbishment…fresh, welcoming, and beautifully updated without losing its charm. A special shoutout to Charlotte, who was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Her service really added to the whole experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it’s clear that a lot of care has gone into improving both the look and the overall experience of the place. We’ll definitely be coming back, highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of enjoying a truly delicious Sunday lunch at The Kings Head Brasserie, made even more special by the outstanding service from Audrey. From the moment we arrived, Audrey was warm, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. What stood out most was how accommodating she was when I kindly requested salmon for my main, even though it wasn’t listed on the Sunday menu. Without hesitation, she made it happen and I’m so glad she did! The salmon was cooked to perfection: tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It turned out to be one of the most delicious meals I’ve had in a long time. Every part of the lunch was delightful, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet refined the perfect setting for a leisurely Sunday meal. Audrey’s genuine hospitality and attention to detail truly elevated the whole experience. I can’t recommend The Kings Head Brasserie highly enough, and I’d especially like to thank Audrey for going the extra mile. I’ll definitely be returning and hoping to see that salmon on the menu more often!

Great service ever. We went in for our dinner and boy oh boy. From start to finish. Everything was absolutely exquisite. But one person stood out for us. Audrey was amazing in waiting section. Very attentive to detail on and always serving with both enthusiasm and great sense of humour. Five stars all the way. Keen it up Kings Head.

This was our second visit. Our first was exceptional. Perfectly cooked beef and lamb, super friendly front of house team. Today was less good. A two hour wait for our food, and when it arrived it was like it was cooked by a different person. Very overcooked and very unexceptional. We were greeted on arrival by Audrey who was the star of the day. She warned us there was a delay when we arrived , but I don’t think even she thought it would be as long as it was! She stood up, stood out, and because of her - we will be back. I love hospitality and obviously so does she. She was professional throughout but was let down today. The conversion is fantastic. What a great venue We will be back but maybe just for a drink next time, and will give your kitchen time to bed in. Jack Harries.

Went in at 2.30 for food, got a table straight away, waited a while for menus. A varied menu, prices on the high side. I ordered half a chicken with fries and coleslaw - which is exactly what I got - 2 pieces of chicken (if that was half a chicken it was a very small chicken!), fries and a small pot of coleslaw, no salad. Tasty but a little disappointing. Husband had ham and eggs so he said was nice but nothing special. We did ask for dessert menus but they never arrived - not sure if it was the time of day but service was very slow. We were sat next to the bar too so no excuse for being out of the way. Family we were with had Sunday lunch the day before and said it was excellent so it's possibly that Mondays isn't the day to go. I personally wouldn't return. Not sure if it's just had a refurb but internally it is an impressive looking pub.

We came for lunch so can’t comment on the rooms but food was excellent. We were served by Finn who was cheerful and helpful - we were a large table so a lot to look after. The hotel and restaurant have only just reopened and we are looking forward to seeing them go from strength to strength.

Receptionist excellent. Our room was cold despite switching on heat/ac combo. Not a cold day either. Receptionist provided oil heater which eventually warmed the room. No heat apparent in corridor. Many plug points but mirror too high over desk/dressing table. Had to stand to dry hair. Since built in wardrobe with shelves. Minimal hanging space as housing bulky ironing board. Bed very comfortable. Toiletries good but.no shelf in shower so had to store on floor and keep bending down. This hotel has been refurbished so not good. The service in the restaurant was v slow. The young staff are v pleasant but need.morw training to understand service levels required. Main meals served on cold plates. Breakfast was v poor. No plates, tongs, fruit juices empty. Again staff not taught to be checking on such items and also to clear tables. This particularly bad in the bar area the previous night. Hotel well placed but needs to improve in above areas.

Gorgeous little independent restaurant with lovely friendly staff and amazing food clearly created with passion and care! So good I went two nights consecutively, which I rarely do when I’m on the road! I highly recommend all the dishes especially the flat iron steak!

My all time favourite restaurant, the flavours are out of this world and cocktails are so good! Gluten free & allergen friendly- team are super helpful & knowledgeable! Highly recommend the Mama’s Feast, the beef tacos are to die for!

Always my go to for a guaranteed delicious meal, they have expanded the menu since they first opened and it's all super yum and flavourful! They have a nice outdoor area in the summer too. It has a nice chilled atmosphere and all the staff are friendly. Very good value for money, all portions are big!

Chose this place to celebrate my birthday and it didn't disappoint!! Every dish was delicious and the flavours were everything you'd hope to get when enjoying Mexican cuisine. The staff and atmosphere was super friendly and enjoyable. Highly recommend!!

Loved my visit to the restaurant. Very nice vibes inside, waitresses were friendly and service was fast. I had the elote corn which was rich and delicious. My ancho chilli mushroom tacos had a nice balance of flavours. I opted for a Virgin Piquante cocktail, which was lovingly made and presented. It tasted wonderful too! I would highly recommend the restaurant and if I’m ever back in the area I will pop in again!

We wanted some good food and a good atmosphere to celebrate our wedding anniversary and goodness did this place deliver. The food was amazing. Good portion sizes, perfectly spiced, full of flavour and reasonably priced which always helps. There was so much choice but the menu was easy to navigate and it didn’t take long for us to narrow down our choices. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff attentive without it being too much! We will definitely be back!

I don’t tend to post reviews, but omg the food was amazing, one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been too!We don’t live locally but if we’re ever back in the area we’ll definitely visit again.

Just been for a Sunday Roast as we were visiting the area. Booked at 1pm and they were very accommodating saying we could dine at 3pm. The beef roast dinner was incredible! The Yorkie was huge. Beef was sooo tender and everything was delicious. Good ales too. Highly recommended.

We stayed 2 nights in the family room, which was perfect. Clean and nicely decorated, with big comfy beds and a good shower. Check in was super easy and we were made very welcome. We ate in the pub one evening and were very impressed, the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for having us!

I had the venison casserole with mashed potatoes and winter vegetables — absolutely delicious! The food was hearty, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. The beer was spot on too, well pulled and served at the right temperature. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making for a really lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended if you’re in Cirencester and fancy good food, good beer, and good company.

Fantastic food! We had the mushroom risotto, it was amazing! 2 young men served us, very professional, polite and helpful. I highly recommend this place for food/drinks and the great customer care. The location was also wonderful! We ate outside with a gorgeous view upwards towards the magnificent church.

I can't comment on the rooms as I didn't stay here , we stopped by for a drink, we sat in the courtyard space which was nice on a hot day . The ambience was laid back but we were there during the day and I can see that it would probably liven up in an evening, the decor of the pub was lovely , and from the front it looks way smaller than it is . The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks on offer , we didn't eat but saw some of the food coming from the kitchen and it all looked really nice . I would visit here again if we were in the area . Great central location also .

We went here for lunch. The surroundings are homely, the staff are attentive and the food is amazing. If you are in Ciren and fancy a good meal in delightful surroundings make a slot in you day to visit.

Visited for lunch. Excellent service. Staff very friendly and professional. Food, reasonable prices and quality good. Great atmosphere. Would definitely visit again. Recommended

Ordered on line for collection which was ready on time and very fresh in fact I arrived slightly early and they were finishing my order of. The chips are very thick cut which I really like and cooked to perfection not greasy at all. Haddock and small cod were cooked perfectly and really tasty as was curry sauce. Highly recommend.

This used to be a great Fish and Chip shop, however after my recent experience I needed to write a poor review in the hope that our local fish and chip shop can improve. When I got the order home I found that one item wasn’t in the bag and I had to return to the shop. There wasn’t an issue with giving this to me. The fish was over cooked and the batter greasy and the pieces of fish were presented in rectangular blocks. It used to be a whole fish! My wife was Ill during the night after eating this. I ordered mushy peas, which tasted very peculiar. ( I have had similar comments from friends since) Overall I rated this meal 2* as I thought it was very poor. This is a shame as it used to be great.

The worst fish & chips I’ve ever had!! Greasy battered completely over cooked fish with anaemic chips full of eyes and the strangest mushy peas. Over £17 for large cod meal (nothing big about it) left me feeling completely ripped off!. In fairness the staff were very polite and the shop was clean. First and last time for this place, what a shame :(

Tried the gluten free Mondays that they do once a month. Can’t fault the batter which was delicious. Sadly the chips weren’t very well done but would definitely recommend the monthly gf Mondays!

I’m new to the area and have just discovered this place, I had the fish and chips and really enjoyed it! The staff are really friendly and helpful too so I’m now looking forward to my next meal here and happy to have found my new local chippy :)

Great chips as always no fish tonight but normally really crispy. However a little disappointed tonight with the curry sauce it was rather runny. Hopefully next time it will be thicker keep up the good work !!

The food is of great quality, and the service is fantastic. The curry sauce was beautiful, one of the best in the area.
