    It was a cold and dark January evening. I was driven straight from Swindon station to this…read moredelightful little country pub. I'd had a busy day in London - it was a Friday and very very cold - so I was itching to get out and experience something rural - heartwarming and cosy. As you drive into Oaksey - everything in Winter is dark - so unless you know your way - you have to be careful not to miss any of the signs. We pulled into what was a very very small village - typically Cotswolds. Small cottages etc - think 'The Holiday' with Cameron Diaz. The pub is off the main road. Inside is a bar area, with a smart looking restaurant around the back. The crowd looks country-ish - yet smart and welcoming. We were shown straight to our table. Usually you'd have to book, but on this occasion - and it being bitterly cold - it wasn't too busy. The menu is fantastic, and our waitress (working alone) knew a lot about the food - despite appearing to come across like an A-Level student. There's an 'Award winning' burger which my friend had, and a spectacular selection of vegetarian offerings. I say this is as most British country pubs specialise in meat; the good ones will have vegetarian options that surpass the meat equivalent - not seeming like 'a second option' or a 'viable alternative'. The bill was reasonable (I guess that) I was lucky enough not to see it. In any case, most country pubs don't exceed London prices - some of them may try and match them. The exception being where there is a celebrity chef involved. As we left, everything was covered in a blanked of snow, and I felt very sleepy whilst being driven back to where we were staying. Possibly because of the Chilean Merlot I had. Overall, I would say it's a gem of pub - which in the winter - is like a haven amidst the darkness.

    The Thames Head Inn, despite it being listed here on yelp as a "pub" ,is actually a whole lot more…read more Yes, it's a nice pub serving very good food (said the person who ate a breakfast, a lunch, and a dinner here over the course of 2 days) but it's also a place of lodging, a campground, and the closest business to the headstone marking the origin of the Thames River (if you're into checking that off your list). As for the lodging, assuming you're not camping, there's a handful of rooms on the property, outfitted very nicely. They're quiet, pristine, and open directly onto a simple patio space. My sole complaint is that the bathroom featured no overhead shower, just a handheld sprayer, which I imagine was intended for use in the tub as there was also no shower curtain. I scouted out the camper/caravan space sitting about a 10-second walk from the rooms, and it was vey attractive, green, and clean. Restroom and shower for these sites is over near the patio space shared by the rooms. Finally, I am happy to give the pub itself a thumbs up. All of the food I had here was delicious and the space itself is nicely appointed. It's clear that someone puts a great deal of care into the entire enterprise, and I appreciated that. The Thames Head Inn might be the place closest to the source of the Thames River but if you're into that, lucky for you, as there's nothing here that's not to like.

    One of the very few pubs open for food after 2pm in the area. Really cosy place and very friendly…read morestaff. Food is quite good, their puddings are amazing. I recomment.

    Very nice Italian restaurant in the centre of this historic market town. The interior isn't the…read moremost cosy or interesting - there's a row of banquettes down the middle, so it feels a little more like a cafeteria. But we found the food and staff great, and it was good value. Our three courses came to just over £32 a head, including service and drinks: whitebait and a bruschetta (very generously smothered with tomato and garlic) to start; Pizza San Guiseppe (mushrooms, ham, tomato and mozzarella) and Penne Primavera (tomato, garlic, peppers, aubergine, courgette and olives) for mains, and for dessert a Panna Cotta with caramel, and a "Gusto D'Italia" ice cream sundae with cherry ice cream, whipped cream, amaretti and flaked almonds. All were freshly cooked/made and very tasty. Service was efficient and friendly. Somewhere we'd happily return to.

    La Passione is a decent choice for Italian in Cirencester. We visited late as an unplanned last…read moreresort and they were very cordial with excellent service. Restaurant is priced well and is ok given natural market around them. We had an overall pleasant experience and food was fresh and prepared with some care. Food is typical Italian American or Italian British cuisine- an interpretation of Italian dishes anglosaxonized to local pallet. Not bad, but not what I rate a 4+. I'd have to lower or change my expectations to return, but have to be fair in that they served us with little fuss. It is decent and definitely recommended given all choices surrounding them.
