Cons: canned olives, stale kebabs, and generally sub-par food from a "tapas" menu with misspelled items. The location was less appealing when a town drunk wandered in and started vomiting.

I'll be honest, we didn't know we would be in Hereford and I popped on TripAdvisor's iPhone app and…read moreused the proximity sensor and was delighted to be standing about 100 yards from the 4th best restaurant in Hereford according to TA's reviewers. Fate?! An unusual set up with what looks like a sandwich counter in one corner, a bar that reminded me of Spain in the centre of the room and a dining room with plastic and paper table cloths. The food however was very homemade style and very tasty. It seemed that anything goes at Gilbies. For example I had a burger, the server asked if I would like any topping(s), I asked "What have you got', she said "anything you like!". Great :) Try it for lunch, you won't be disappointed!

The 'tucked away' setting is delightful. It's the sort of place that you can pop into by yourself whilst shopping during the day, meet friends fior lunch, or have a great relaxing evening.

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 just happened to call in for coffee one Sunday morning and obviously got the tired staff from the night before. The atmosphere was dull and even though we tried to be bright and friendly we didn't raise a smile or anything that resembled a welcome. I understand from our younger friends and relatives that it's one of 'The' places to go whatever your age but maybe in our mid 60's we're just a bit too over the hill for them. We won't be going again and in all honesty they won't even notice we're not there.

Cosies Wine Bar has a few different faces. It's located in stateley Portland Square, and during the…read moreday it maintains a quite respectable face. At this time it pulls in office workers and other up-standing member of society sorts. They have a good lunch menu, and the place could pass as a reasonably high end restaurant. Things degenerate (or improve, depending on your point of view) as night draws in. Cosies is also a night club and dubstep, afrobeat, and hip-hop nights, along with various others. Very cool in the evenings, this is about a million miles from Syndicate et al. not so far away in the centre. The different between the its night and day time faces is quite a contrast and makes Cosies worth two visits. Down in a basement, it has a cosy feel to match its name. The best time to vist in the day time is when its a bit cold and damp. During the evening just make sure to get there early to avoid disappointment.

Cosies is another place to the trend, situated in the basement of one of the grand Georgian houses in St Pauls' Portland Square. It's open all day and night, catering to the office workers of the square in the daytime, and turning into one of Bristol's in-the-know clubs as night falls. Some of the best djs can be found playing here, spanning genres from Dub and Reggae to Drum'n'Bass and hip hop. The seats outside, carved out beneath the pavement, are maybe where the place gets its name from, as there's a really great 'cosy' atmosphere in one of those seating hubs. As a result, it makes for quite a smokers paradise, and there's definitely a hint of a few blind eyes being turned. Walking past in the day there's always a board offering some sort of exotic food (always below a fiver, so good value), proving a real temptation to descend the rickety stairs mid-afternoon. Also, there's late evening grub on offer to help the pints go down, the last time I was there goat curry was being sold around 11. You might have to pay a few pounds to get in on a weekend, but I'd safely guarantee you'll have a night worth remembering.
