Delicious dinner (tasting menu) and frankly the best I have had in Cheltenham…read more The tasting menu cost £60, with an added £38 per person for wine pairings. This is what me and my hubs had. The dinner started with a bread course - 3 types of bread. Butter was good, just the right amount of saltiness. Also served with taramasalata, which tasted like a cross between roe and smoked salmon. The sourdough was my fave of the breads. Moving on to the amuse bouche - a really large serving! This was trout sashimi and was super delicious. I think it also had beets and another vegetable served with it. The next 2 courses were also seafood - halibut and lobster. The halibut had this really good cucumber sorbet served with it - maybe just a tad to much for the serving, but it was tasty either way. The lobster - I forgot to take a picture it was so good! The final main course was lamb. Normally, I don't really like lamb all that much, but I really liked this dish. The lamb wasn't too gamey in either the steak style or brisket style lamb. There was also sweetbreads served on the side which was perfectly fried. On to the desserts - there was a cheesecake, a chocolate dish, and petit fours to finish. These were all good, but I honestly would have preferred one more savory dish and one less sweet one. Wine pairings were on point for all the dishes. Standout for me was the British wine that was served with the trout I think? The pours were all very generous as well. Overall, great service, great food, great little restaurant. Highly recommended.

It all tasted so nice, we had the sea bass and chicken and for dessert chocolate mousse with ice cream. The ice cream was quite a unique taste so we asked what it was and even the ice cream was actually homemade! The menu deal was quite reasonable price for around £18 for 3 courses. Overall this was a really nice surprise and a restaurant with some amazing food.

This unassuming ice cream hut is tucked away in the hills of Stroud. You definitely have to know…read morewhat you are looking for to find this little gem. It's on an unnamed road on the side of a hill - but once you've found it - you've struck gold! All of the ice cream is made right there and they have some great flavour choices. Choices such as: honey comb, banana toffee, rhubarb, blackberries and cream...it was so hard to make a choice! I settled on a single serving of blackberries and cream in a waffle cone (also made right there). The ice cream was super creamy and flavourful. The waffle cone was nice and thick and had the perfect toasty flavour. We are SO happy we stumbled upon this place. It's worth going out of your way for some of this wonderful ice cream!

Stopped by after their fetching window display of jarred sweets caught our eye and we did not leave…read moredisappointed. They have a large selection of boiled sweets and so we got a small mixed bag just to try a selection. After enjoying a few pieces, we decided to return to get more for friends and family back home - our favorites were the apple, pineapple, pear and rhubarb & custard boiled sweets. They also sell ice cream, and other sweets. While the packaging in the store (the perfect lines of jars etc) were really cute, I do wish that they had cuter packaging for when you buy your sweets to go. Otherwise, very happy we found this place!

At least, those of them from Mississippi State always said this -- perhaps because, as a major AG school, many of us take the production of good ice cream very seriously. We're not called a cow college for nothing. :) G & D's, of course, refers to George and Davis. And, indeed, they have very, very good ice cream. I tend to keep it simple with chocolate, and theirs was always stellar. They have a couple locations around town so you can pick the one most convenient to you. It's a very popular place with a loyal following of students, residents, and tourists alike, and definitely worth giving a try.

Don't let its lack of originality put you off though - this does what it does exceedingly well and you won't be disappointed. It pretty much just does drinks and although there are a few seats and lots of standing room, it's designed mainly as a takeaway shop. The drinks come in 2 main varieties: super sweet and sickly treats and super fruity health boosts. The milkshakes can involve any manner of gooey delights - you pick what you want from a huge list on a board on the wall, then watch as the staff chuck everything into a blender to create heaven in a cup. And I mean anything: whatever the chocolate bar, you name it. Then add in some ice cream, sauces, sweets, toppings, pretty much anything you can think of. I had marshmallow, Dream bar and ice cream. It was good. No, I couldn't finish it. If you're feeling a bit healthier, there are all manner of fruit smoothies and juices, which are all freshly made on the spot. There are suggested combinations with explanations of what they do for you (Eg: help you get over a cold/give you an energy burst/make you feel lustful) and you can get additional healthy shots of things that are good for you. But I challenge you to go in just for a smoothie - the milkshakes are definitely where it's at...
