The Royal Oak in Gretton is a lovely country pub. It has a wide range of beer and ales, a decent…read morefood menu, and a huge open area outside with seating for lazing away the day (and, in warmer weather, evenings). There are nights with live music (usually performed by local musicians) and a summertime beer festival which has a selection of drinks, and live music outside in the huge garden area behind the pub. Even if you aren't local, you will be welcomed here!

Background: We are three Americans, and three British; ranging from ages 23 to 87. One thing we all…read morehad in common was we were hungry! We came to The Corner Cupboard not knowing what to expect, but were blown away! From the appetizers to our main coarse, everything was cooked to perfection. We tried the chicken, liver and mash, lamb curry, salmon cakes, and braised beef and loved it all. Possibly best of all the waitress kept our ice water filled the entire meal, which is uncommon for British restaurants (at least as an American tourist). We would have stayed for dessert except we were completely satisfied and couldn't justify getting anything else. Seriously: Don't hesitate to come here if you need a great meal.

Fantastic, what a find. LOvely pub in lovely village near both Cheltenham and Tewkesbury.

THe owners, Mike and Wendy are friendly and keen to ensure you enjoy your experience. Can also cater for in house parties which we have done - Mother In Law's 60th (sit down meal for 35 adults and 3 kids) and again they came up trumps - the meal was fabulous and I can't believe the price they did it for. Cannot fault and would highly recommend.

The Wesley House is no longer a pub or a restaurant. It remains a 15th century Merchant's House…read morewith lodging still happening upstairs from the former pub and restaurant. There was nothing exactly wrong with The Wesley House as a place of lodging but see if it's for you: * My bags were on the ground floor when I arrived. Nobody offered to bring them up the narrow stairway so I dragged them up myself. * The rooms are small but functional. Somewhat amusingly, the second floor emergency fire exit was in/through my room with the door to that exit ominously labeled "FINAL EXIT". Thankfully there was no need for anyone to run through my room on the night of my stay. * Though The Wesley House had someone on site when I arrived, that person gave me a key for the front entry door for later, when nobody is on-site. One lets themselves into and out of the building, walking through the former bar area to get up to the rooms. * There was nothing wrong with the breakfast that's included in the price of lodging but I will note that it was my least favorite breakfast of the 7 I had at other places during my time in the Cotswolds. The Wesley House is fine (no more, no less) but if you want something a little more than fine I'd keep searching.

Outstanding! Superb gourmet English food at day tripper prices…read more 15th century building that oozes history. Cozy bar area entrance that leads up & into a more spacious dining room, further back is a bright dining atrium. The servers are personable, friendly, genuine, knowledgeable and helpful. Their attention to detail is truly well done. The food is extraordinary. I'm here renting a house in Winchcombe for the week. Getting a good lay of the land. Spent the previous week in London. My dinner here tonight was more delicious and better presented than any meal that I had in the big city. My wife & I each had 4 courses, 4 glasses of wine plus one dessert wine. The total tariff was 71 quid. Simply amazing. In my home, 60 miles north of San Francisco, an equivalent meal would cost 2.5X more. I am a monarchist. I want England to take us Americans back into the kingdom. Failing that I want to plead for political amnesty and immigrate here. (Sssshhhhh, It's really not about the politics. I want to enjoy the superior food for the remainder of my life). If you are in the Cheltenham area and desire a memorable meal, this place will satisfy & delight you.

Both were tasty, though the goat cheese dish had hardly any beet in it (the cheese was delicious, though). For main dishes we had the sausages, the vegetable pot pie (had a sweet potato and bread crumb crust), the fish cassoulet (not a traditional dish, but still yummy), and the duck dish. 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! I recommend making a reservation as it was almost full, even on a Monday night.

Step down and inside, the history of the building envelopes. It's ancient timbers and stone, roughhewn tables, dim lighting - very atmospheric. Friendly greeting by barman and proprietor, drink orders given immediately. My wife is a wine drinker. There are scant selections of wine by the glass. The Tempranillo she ordered was pretty mediocre. My pint of St. Austell's cask ale was sublime, really. One of the most delicious beers I've tasted since 1964. Smooth, luxurious mouth feel with lively flavors. The dinner menu had 5 choices. Bambie ordered the lemon sole fillets in a broth / butter sauce surrounded by a medley of fresh garden vegetables. I had the guinea fowl, the leg cooked confit and the breast cooked by roasting. The freshly puree potatoes were silky smooth without drowning in butter. The big side bowl of green peas, string beans, spinach tasted like they were plucked from the garden that morning. The sticky toffee pudding topped by a creamy vanilla ice cream was yeoman, I gobbled it though my dinner had me bursting to fullness. Total bill was 43 British pounds. By the time we exited at 9:30pm the place was full of happy patrons. All seem to be locals, I'm sure the wife & I were the only tourists. The bar does a brisk business. Ignore the year 2009 review, it no longer applies. I'm here in Winchcombe for 5 days and will report on others eateries. This one is pretty great.

However, the quality of the food has decreased significantly - the cheddar in their mature cheddar and tomato sandwich tastes a bit cash-and-carry, among other things - and the barlady is quite rude.

The menu is small - just one side of the card. Nice. They also have a specials board. I had the Mixed Grill, which I had never tried before. Wow, that was a lot of "meat". I loved it. All the food was delicious, but the service was a little slow. Definitely worth trying. I would come here again.

The most excellent Sunday roast carvery. As their menu noted, their Pork roast was infamous! Which…read moremade me smile. Eleven of our group of fourteen went for the carvery. You could have had beef, turkey or pork. Everything on the carvery was really good, especially the crackling and cauliflower cheese. I went for the pork, which was indeed excellent... it deserved the infamy ;) The service was a bit meh, with the drinks order being brought to the table in ones or twos. They must not have any serving trays! Also one of the mains ordered wasn't great. The fishcakes, soggy from having the chilly sauce pour all over them. But if you are here for the Sunday roast carvery, you shouldn't be let down.
