There's a substantial selection of fine liquors and wines, with very knowledgeable, friendly staff to guide your palate. It looks a bit small from the street, but there is seating downstairs and, if it's not too cold, out the back. Of course, it's also in lovely Cheltenham, near other Montpellier pubs, and so you should be here really. I find it impossible to be in Cheltenham without paying a visit- this time for some rum and prosecco. Yum. Be warned though, it's not the most wallet-friendly place and it can be hard to stop!

We had a fabulous series of visits to the Bistro! First night in Chipping Camden we had drinks with…read morea friend staying at the hotel - delicious gin and tonics and good wine. They have a nice wine list featuring European wines. The gin is plentiful, and they offer gin tastings. We enjoyed delicious gin and tonics on both nights, including those using Cotswolds Gin! On our second night we ate at the restaurant. We arrived early, around 5 pm, after a day of traveling around the Cotswolds. We had a drink and then said we'd love to come back in an hour to have dinner - they said that was no problem (and this is a bank holiday)! We wandered off to a pub down the street (Eight Bells), which was suggested by the waitstaff. We had a great time having a glass of wine there, where we mixed with locals and visitors from near and far. We returned to the Bistro, which was pretty much full - except one table! They had held our table back, with three settings for dinner. We shared excellent food (and more g&ts!) including classic egg pasta with shaved truffle (yum!), the avocado and egg salad, and a side of lovely, buttered green beans. Overall, the meal has been the highlight meal of my trip to the England. The staff was fun, hardworking, and really made us feel welcome, even if the majority of the guests were "stiff upper lips" in regards to us having a fun time. If I return to Chipping Campden, I'm staying at this hotel and dining here for sure! A lovely experience!

My wife had the chicken which was good. My daughters had the orzo dish. It was also good. But for higher prices, I wanted the food to be a step above the others. I do think if you were a gin lover, this might be the place for you. They had many different types of gin and associated cocktails. We are not gin drinkers so that was not a highlight for us. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the dining room, dishes, plating was excellent.

Our party of six was easily accommodated in their upstairs dining rooms on a Thursday evening around 8:00pm. We made a reservation on open table earlier in the day. Our server was Meghan who was cheerfully warm, welcoming and quite knowledgeable about the menu. Meghan made excellent menu suggestions. Loxley's also has a gluten free and a dairy free version of their current menu so special orders are simple. We started out with a charcuterie sampler that was full of delectable treats. I enjoyed the mushroom risotto and added some tiger prawns. Others in our party enjoyed the pork belly, duck and cod dishes. All delicious and artfully prepared. Of course Loxley's has a wide assortment of beers, wines and cocktails to enjoy with your dinner. If you are looking for less touristy fine dining in Stratford on Avon you will find it here. Double highly recommend.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!…read more I visited Café Huxleys on my mum's 69th birthday with my stepdad. We were staying nearby and wanted to explore the area, having not visited this part of the Cotswolds before. Unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing and concerning -- particularly for anyone with food allergies, intolerances, or ethical dietary requirements. If you have a food intolerance, allergy, or follow a vegan diet, please exercise extreme caution here. I fancied a hot chocolate and specifically asked the senior waitress whether it was dairy-free or contained milk. She assured me that it was made only with cocoa powder and that if I chose oat milk, it would be dairy-free. On that basis, I ordered two hot chocolates (both with oat milk) and my mum ordered sparkling water. When the younger waitress brought our drinks, a biscuit was placed on the saucer. After taking one sip of the hot chocolate, I instantly recognised the unmistakable taste of dairy -- something I haven't consumed for many years due to intolerance. I immediately asked the young waitress whether the biscuit was dairy-free. She said she didn't know and went to check with the owner. I witnessed him smirk, laugh slightly, and tell her that it was dairy-free. His reaction already made me uneasy, so I asked directly, "Are you sure? I'm dairy intolerant." Only then did he quickly change his response to, "Oh yes, it's dairy -- don't eat it!" At that point, I called over the same senior waitress who had taken my order and asked again whether the hot chocolate was dairy-free. She looked flustered and admitted, "Oh no, it's not dairy-free -- only the oat milk is." Before we'd ordered drinks, I had actually spoken to the owner about whether they offered any vegan meal options, as we were considering returning later for dinner. He didn't even make eye contact -- he just smirked and bluntly said, "No," in a dismissive tone. Once it was clear both the owner and waitress had given me incorrect information, I told them calmly that I was extremely unhappy and would not be paying. I had specifically asked whether the drink contained dairy, and they had explicitly told me it did not. The most troubling part of this experience wasn't just the rudeness or dismissiveness, but the lack of responsibility around food safety. It appears they only take dietary restrictions seriously when the word "allergy" is used -- not when a person says they are vegan or intolerant. As a result, I became unwell and what should have been a lovely day celebrating my mum's birthday was ruined. This café needs urgent staff training around allergens, dietary awareness, and customer care. Until then, I would strongly advise others -- especially those with allergies or ethical food requirements -- to avoid this establishment.

For dessert we had the Eaton mess (good, but small) and the strawberry frangipane (the better of the two desserts). Service was quick and friendly. A great find in a charming town!
