"my friend brought me to eat in november last year after le champignon sauvage. I have had the luck to eat in some of the best restaurants in the world, but this place really found me out. we had such a great dinner that we decided this time to go back and stay in cheltenham so that we both relax and have a few drinks with our food. we were so excited after our last visit and had so great hopes for a similar experience of our visit only a few months ago this early afternoon in the morning in the morning. when we went through the doorstep in le champignon sauvage, we immediately received a warm and friendly reception from helen, who took our moms and asked if we wished a drink in the bar area. we were in no hurry and wanted to make the best of all so sat and enjoyed our aperitifs while looking for the menu and rehearsal the kanapes that were bought us on the sofa. we ordered both a starter and main courses from the lunch menu, I chose the Beetroot hat followed by the lamm and my friend chose the fish soup and the cable soup. one of the waiting employees said that we also mix and from the lunch and dinner menu, if we liked. for a 2 Michelin star restaurant this was so refreshing that it was so home, comfortable and complete to relax in the experience. the time came to sit in the restaurant where we were presented briefly with a funny bouche that was today a famous veloute. it looked great, but it tasted from this world! then the beautiful freshly prepared brot came along with the champagne and wine we had ordered with the appetizers. it's hard for me to write about it without sounding over the top, because we both completely in alwe of every incredible plate of food that this man and woman team had created. we tried all the others and it would have been really not important what we had ordered as the detail, taste and work that went into the food and everything was impeccable. again we both tasted dishes and tasted every single mouth. Of course we've finished each dessert. my white chocolate cheese cake was beautiful, accompanied by a palette purifying artichoke ice cream. my friend had the blood orange dessert with a coconut sorbet (I really can't remember the names of this dessert) but none of us ever had that. it was unbelievable.br/> we have a little bit about the feeling that we were both so passionate about le champignon sauvage during our time in the restaurant. it was so much more than just being passionate about eating. it was the consistency, personal touch with their customers and integrity that was in the core of everything here. the values of this man and the woman are what makes it a success. thanks to many david and helen, they see again very soon. some months after our visit I was invited by david to work with him and his team in the kitchen in le champignon sauvage. click here to read more about my experience, to work behind the scenes in a 2 Michelin star kitchen."

"Shocking experience! Wouldn’t recommend!! Me and my boyfriend went for our 5th year anniversary meal. They messed our booking up as we had to cancel our first booking but they were under different email addresses and we were told they had sorted it. We arrived to a woman who eventually gave us a table after we had tried to explain they had cancelled the wrong booking even though I had emailed from a different email address and they had confirmed the previous one has been cancelled the day before we made the second booking, she still told us it wasn’t the restaurant fault and we weren’t bothered as accidents happen The food was average at best, nothing special what so ever, I got the fish and chips and the fish was extremely greasy and I found some black plastic in my fish, however I did not complain as I have good manners and didn’t want to cause an issue as we were there for a celebration. My boyfriend has allergies and could not eat coleslaw so we asked for it to be removedhis burger arrived with coleslaw inside!!! Luckily I had realised and warned him before something serious happened and we asked for a replacement which took 15 minutes! I had almost finished my meal by that point. I ordered a sticky toffee pudding and it was completely dry inside, I was struggling to get my spoon through it and we did not finish it. The cocktail and beer was average and overpriced. Paid for a coke, came in a small glass with more ice than anything and wasn’t even half a can. The most strange thing was that when we asked for the service charge of £8 to be removeda very old woman with short hair and large glasses and clearly a temper issue came over and spoke to us horribly and questioned why we had asked for it to be removed. I told her the fish I got was very greasy and the cake was very dry, she did not like my honest reply and started to raise her voice which was very unprofessional, I was so shocked with her tone of voice and then she of all people asked us to leave when we refused to pay the service charge and I told her it was discretionary as it said on the menu. Disgusting treatment from what I’m assuming is the manager and I’ve seen other reviews now that have complained about the same woman. Honestly so disappointing as we went for a celebration and someone had to ruin a nice day for us, hope she gets some help with herself or finds a job more suited to her hopefully away from members of the public. Any further questions please email."
