I remember when this old pub was owned by Brewers Fayre - thankfully the bad old days are over and…read moreit's been taken over as a family run business! I recently visited (on recommendation) on a Saturday. We were a party of 7, and I thought the service was excellent (although the waitresses could be a little more clued up about the contents of the menu). I ordered the Venison Hot Rock, which is a delcious slab of venison, seared and served on a hot lava rock so you can cut bits off and cook it to your own satisfaction - I have to say, it was absolutely fabulous!!!! I also managed to squeeze in a slice of cheese cake, which was so light and tasty it's got to be one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had.

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.

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.
