"Our son is studying at UWE and lives five minutes walk from here. We visited over the weekend to celebrate his delayed degree results. We decided we wanted a Thai meal and he suggested Everyday Thai having been recommended it by housemates. We booked on Friday. Saturday lunchtime I had a call to confirm my booking. How glad I was that we had booked. I couldn't believe that somewhere tucked away in Fishponds could be so busy! The entrance was like bees round a honey pot but our host, Pickky, had everything under control and we were soon seated and drinks ordered. Such a lot of tasty choices on the menu. What to choose. We settled on the Tapas selection for starters: calamari, crispy vegetables and spring rolls. For mains we chose chicken with cashew nuts, king prawn with cashew nuts and pad Thai. Whilst we waited we watched moped delivery drivers arriving and leaving, all handled smoothly and meals being served expertly to a table of eight and a table of twelve, as well as numerous take away collections. Our starters arrived, exquisitely presented how did they carve a carrot into a flower. Very tasty! The calamari was perfect. Sometimes some restaurants can over cook it and it can be rubbery. The vegetables were excellent. Peppers, courgettes, mushrooms, even cauliflower! Hats off to the chefs. My son doesn't care much for cauliflower but was impressed with the taste. The food was all hot We were hungry and even ate the shredded carrot and cabbage dressing, although it was difficult to dip it in the sauce, partly because we'd devoured so much of it! We waited in anticipation for our mains. We commented that we should have ordered some prawn crackers. As if reading our minds, our waiter came over to apologise for the wait and bringing some complimentary prawn crackers! Most welcome. The mains arrived and they didn't disappoint. Tasty and plentiful. A real treat! All too often in oriental restaurants and takeaways the main course meat or fish has little vegetable accompaniment but not so with ours. Equally, dishes with cashew nuts can sometimes have me looking for the cashews. Definitely not the case. Plenty of prawns and chicken. Plenty of vegetables. Plenty of rice. Plenty of pleasant conversation. Plenty of activity still in the kitchen and front of house! All in all a really nice meal, really nice company, really nice staff, a really nice restaurant and a really nice price!"

"I agree with the 'swindle ' reviews below. The price to quantity is disappointing. There are upsides: The food that is served is nice in terms of quality and taste it is just under whelmingly stingy in size. The 'new ' decor is bright and chic, it feels like a good place to eat. There was a healthy buzz of custom which made it feel like a popular joint. However: I opted for the Lamb Kleftiko, a staple dish that should be a good test of any Greek restaurant. This dish alone cost £12.90 and was alarmingly just a small joint of lamb in a dish, no sides. It would be unthinkable in any other restaurant to order something at this price and have no accompaniment. We were warned by the waitress that it is designed for people to order 2 3 dishes, but this is taking the p**s. My chosen side was 'Rustic chips with oregano ' at £4.50 these would be better described as potato wedges. My friend just opted for the cheaper, normal 'chips ' which when they arrived were more what I expected 'Rustic chips ' to be, still dusted with oregano could have saved a couple of £s there! The wine was fairly pricy, opting for the lowest priced bottle of Spanish white £21) was again a disappointing experience it was evidently cheap in taste. There are much better Greek restaurants out there ones that fully embrace the spirit of Xenia. If you 're coming here be prepared to be a cash cow. Between three of us we had a small starter, a meat dish and a side, with a bottle of wine. This cost £85. We won 't be rushing back...."

"Once in a while my wife and I crave a full English . The circumstances have to be right. We have to be hungry and we have to be on a journey or a shopping trip early in the day. So on this day, very recently, my wife and I drove to Gloucester having deliberately missed breakfast we don 't bother anyway most of the time). We knew where we were going because we check Tripadviser for possible locations. We 'd already seen the reviews for the Trojan Cafe so we said OK let 's check it out. The first favourable impression is that the place is kept very clean and that the decor is uncluttered. I noticed some framed pictures of Turkish holiday locations so I 'm guessing the staff may come from Turkey. My wife ordered a basic all day and I ordered the full all day . We had two mugs of tea and much to my surprise the tea tasted good. I 'm the tea expert at home so I know a good cup when I taste one. We didn 't wait long before the food arrived and I was in for a shock when I got my plate. My reaction was Good God when I saw the amount that was on my large plate. This amused the man who brought it. The plate was full and it was all there and it was piping hot. I won 't list the contents of my all day breakfast other than to say all the elements were there in abundance and excellently cooked. I finished the lot except a couple of slices of toast. Had I thought about it I could have asked for some marmalade and I would have finished the remaining toast off as well. Anyway I was full. I realized I wouldn 't need any other food for the rest of the day. And so it proved. One bit of advice I 'd give to the pleasant staff at this cafe is to research the black pudding a bit more. As a Northerner I 've sampled black puddings before they are not all the same. The black pudding served at the Trojan was a little bland. They can be better and probably a little more expensive. Go for the less fatty type drier and more flavoursome. Notwithstanding I ate the black pudding served up to me. My wife and I turned up in smart casual country clothes and we were surrounded by tradesmen wearing their working cloths streaked with paint and oil. I knew we were in the right place. I thought it was funny. We were all there for the good food and tradesmen know where to get the good stuff. So do the local pensioners who were also there. The prices were right. All in all a very pleasant dining experience but you have to be hungry to cope with the Trojan signature dish. My wife and I both returned empty plates. A couple of pieces of toast don 't count. We will return when we feel the need for a proper full English ."
