The cellar bar is atmospheric and offers something a bit different to most city centre bars. There are regularly changing ales on offer and the staff are quite knowledgeable about those too. They often have live music too - and it is great to have such an intimate venue to watch live bands. Don't try and communicate with them via e-mail though, they never reply. IF you want to book a table/function, then give them a call instead.

As with any bar/pub or indeed any restaurant it does get loud when it's busy but it depends entirely on the time of day you go. Weekdays can be fairly quiet. Popular times of course not so much.

The atmosphere was splendid!…read more It's located next to a lake where ducks and swans inhabit and the area has a great nature. I'm sure you'll have a lovely walk around the area. When I entered the restaurant, I was so excited with their british style interior. It was very cosy . Especially a wood burning stove gave us wonderful first impression! The food came with a big portion! I ordered duck wraps and tempura which were delicious and I really liked their asian fusion dish. but I couldn't finish them all... I want to take my family there someday!

This visit we had seafood penne and steak for main and crayfish/prawn cocktail and Camembert tart. We were served really quickly and food was good. Normally I would say it's exceptional but it was ok this visit. The place is well laid out and great with children (high chairs available). Normal bar stocked with a good selection of lagers and wine but no prosecco by the glass :(. If in the area you must stop in and pay it a visit

Topolys offer home cooked Italian food which is utterly yummy and both I and my guests left satisfied. Service is quick and efficient with a decent interval between courses, tables were cleared quickly and all this came at a very reasonable price.

One of the unsung heroes of Gloucester restaurants I really would recommend this place.

Pub downstairs, with indoor/outdoor seating, and a very cozy keep with tall leather chairs for visiting or reading by the fire. A few rooms up top. Beds comfy and proprietors nice and cheerful. Close to the center of town, an easy walk to the cathedral and other limited sites there. Experience was like happening by a real pub/tavern and having a homey evening. Great ales and the food - we ordered the best bangers and mash I've ever had, though eating hours are limited :).

However the staff was really friendly especially because my friend is allergic of eggs. So the staff gave us an allergen menu (which is not common unfortunately in restaurants in Worcester).

The staff are always keen to please and always want to hear that you've enjoyed your experience. The restaurant is always so clean, it's very welcoming. But the popularity of this restaurant means that it does get busy! I would recommend booking a table if you're planning to visit in the evening. The drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but with food of this quality, you can live with that. They also offer a takeaway service, but I have never tried that.

Following the August Bank Holiday weekend a friend and I were looking for somewhere to eat as…read moreneither of us had a chance to grab anything all day. I remembered the wonderful deal I had taken advantage of on a mid week 'Custom Plate' Chinese Banquet at the Shanghai in Gloucester. I took my relatives there some years before and found their system quite unique and very pleasantly memorable. Finding myself once again in their locale I was keen to see if the standard had remained as high. Welcome and service was first class. Indeed the choices were equally as good as before and a very comprehensive table service menu meant there was something for all tastes. The rule seemed to be the same that you could order any dishes or side plates you wanted, the only condition was that any significant left-overs could be charged back at full menu price (on top of the fixed buffet tariff). A crispy duck starter and several noodle and rice dishes were the order of the day. Each one as wonderful as the previous and it really did seem that we had struck gold in terms of our choice of venue. For approx £13 a head (I suspect slightly more at busy weekends), the value and quality more than matched the variety of choices. There were not many empty tables and the atmosphere was pleasantly vibrant. If I have one slight criticism to level it would merely be that the very open plan arrangement of before seems to have been slightly modified to now include a policy of not being able to revert to starter items later on during the service. To me this flexibility was one of the beauties of the former visit and to be fair when I questioned this I was actually courteously allowed to order as I wished. I may suggest that somehow this now needs to be made clearer or better still, left as relaxed as before. There was no pressure to keep re-filling the glasses but due to the length of time we were in the Shanghai, we did sample a small selection of their fine wines and beers. I guess I won't leave it so long next time.
