"I do visit the straw kitchen occasionally and have never been disappointed. Brilliant food! Yesterday's bacon sarnies there were three of us) just perfect beautifully cooked and served with a beetroot relish, unbelievable. All cooked to order, takes a little time but then quality...just cannot be rushed. No matter how busy the SK is, service is always polite and courteous."

"Great aubergine bhaji starter and chickpea Balti. Ordered some from takeaway menu which weren't on the main menu not sure why they are not on a larger main menu, as this would be better. Food is lovely, though the service was a little slow at the start. All of us enjoyed the meal."

"Having passed the sign outside saying pop up restaurant, shop, etc we decided to go and have a look. This being a Saturday Not knowing what to expect we were really impressed by the buildings and presentation. Upon entering the door we were approached by a waiter who it turned was the owner. We explained that we had popped in to see what was on offer. Well it was like trying to extract blood from a stone, we really should have known. Eventually he did offer up information and as the venue was extremely attractive we decided to have a coffee and a hot chocolate, both fine. Whilst having our drinks we enquired of a female waitress if the restaurant did a Sunday roast. She confirmed they did. A little reticent we duly booked for 3 pm the next day a table for 3 persons. On the Sunday we arrived and were shown to a table set for 3 by the owner and we apologised that only 2 could make it. The extra place seating was begrudgingly removed. The change from 3 to 2 had not caused any rearrangement of table placement etc. As we were taking our seats the owner stated we have run out of Beef, no apology, nothing. My wife and I sat down and studied the menu. Having studied the menu to see that on offer was pizza, a salad, hake with rice and pasta. I beckoned to the owner and asked was there any replacement for the Sunday roast as there was no similar type dishes on the menu. The owners reply was gobsmacking. No there was no replacement/substitute, no apology and if we didn 't like we were free to walk. Not wishing to outstay our 'welcome ' we duly 'walked '. So we have a restaurant at 3pm on a Sunday running out of roast, the reason we booked, offering no apology , no appropriate replacement displaying a truely unbelievable attitude from the owner. As we left there were numerous other parties arriving, I hope they didn 't require a roast on a Sunday. I can live with stock shortages, but there are ways of dealing with a situation. What I cannot live with is an arrogant attitude from owners to their guests. This I cannot overlook. You might say a bad day at the office, but we experienced the same attitude 2 days running, there will not be a third. As it happens we are local and may have considered this location for our daughters wedding, absolutely not now. If the owner is interested we did get a Sunday roast at a nice pub/restaurant just up the road and yes they were busy."

"This was our first visit since the ferry changed hands. The biggest change for us was the food. The food is different but still good! We went on a Saturday, so can't comment on the Sunday roast but we tried a fair sample of the plates. For starters, we had a soup and a pate. Both went down very well. The soup was a vegetable soup, thick and dull of veggie chunks. The pate was a generous wedge. For mains, we had a steak and kidney pie, fish and chips, half roast chicken, and a fish goujon sandwich. The pie was well filled and a suet pastry for a change. Fish and chips, a fair portion and light looking batter. The half roast chicken was a fairly large bird and the fish goujon sandwich was well filled and tasty. Dessert was a sticky toffee pudding- nice and light, and a fruit crumble with custard, slightly tart but a nice balance against the custard. Service was fast and the team were friendly. We will be back to try the Sunday roasts soon! Price per person: £40–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"what a pleasant surprise! best Thai food I ever had. a pub that was taken over by Thai cooks and eating was incredible. we loved the penang and the red curry and can not wait to come back and try something else! definitely recommend if they love Thai food or want to try something new. they still had limited English pub traditional options."

"Good quality restaurant, the food was really delicious. I enjoyed my starter and dessert very much. My main was nice, not bad, I had chicken so it's always hard to flavour chicken I think. Presentation of each dish was great. They give you bread at the start of the meal which is a nice touch. Service was good they added some things to our bill that weren't ours by mistake and when we brought it up, they fixed it straight away. The price was quite high I thought but it was a very nice restaurant and maybe I'd feel different if I had a different main. Overall, I'd highly recommend coming here and would visit again if I was in the area."

"Today, on the 100th birthday of my late uncle, my almost 101-year-old aunt, myself, and two close friends decided to honor the occasion by going out for lunch. We have visited this restaurant many times before and have always had a great experience. Today was no exception. We were warmly welcomed as we arrived separately and were seated in a lovely spot in the restaurant. Our server, Sandra, was kind, patient, and lovely. Our drinks arrived promptly, giving us time to peruse the wonderful menu. The food was served right on time, and we all admired each other's dishes. My aunt enjoyed the Lashford sausage and mash with cabbage - the portion was so generous she had to take some home, but she loved every bite. I had the shoulder of lamb with crushed potatoes, carrots, leeks, and cabbage, which was cooked perfectly. The lamb was tender and flavorful, and the jus tied everything together beautifully. My friends both had the quiche with a side salad and were impressed, agreeing that we need to visit this restaurant more often. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert, but they all looked delicious. The restaurant is beautiful, the staff is fabulous, the food is amazing, and every penny was well spent. Thank you for making a difficult day so special."

"We arrive with Family to a friendly welcomed and our booked table was ready and waiting, all the table were socially distance. Being early, 6pmish the restaurant was not overly busy, but still had a good atmosphere. The staff were very helpful and attentive our...order was and the meals arrived in good time and was enjoyed by all 6 of us I would in particularly mention the Fish and chips, which were exceptional well cooked, being beauifully moist and tender fish served with and excellent Tarte sauce and mushy peas, The best battered fish I have ever tasted The only minus was the Lintel curry, although if was a lovely well cooked taste dish, the potion size was a little on the small side for the strapping lad who ordered it"

"Sunday lunch, always on point. We stopped for lunch with family who were travelling back to Lancashire. We called for an early Sunday lunch and sat in the cosy bar area by the log burner. Very lovely atmosphere, with super friendly staff. The Sunday lunch was absolutely delicious. We had the roast which was accompanied by a hearty selection of vegetables and cauliflower brocoli cheese, so tasty. We highly recommend The Golden Cross....hats off to the Chef and front of house team."

"Having not visited for some time after a rather disappointing meal a few years ago, we decided to visit following some great, recent reviews. The decor has been updated and is now a calm, airy venue with well spaced seating. The manager, Carl was incredibly friendly and helpful. But, most importantly the food was fantastic. I'm annoyed that none of our group took photo's now! We had a couple of the small bite plates as shared starters Scampi, Houlloumi, Crispy Cauliflower Tato Tots all were delicious (and the selection made it really hard to choose just 4 . The Fish and chips were fab with a really good sized piece of fish (you know, where it overhangs the plate! , a friend had the vegan burger which she thoroughly enjoyed, and the dirty fries were just fabulous. There is a smaller selection of desserts, but it is probably enough to choose from to be honest. Between us we had the Vanilla Poached pineapple with Coconut icecream and honey comb and the Eton mess not a crumb was left! I'd definitely urge anyone to give them a try. They're trying really hard to bring the place back to it's former glory and are doing a really good job. We'll definitely be going back and recommending to friends and family. The only reason for a 4 for atmosphere was because it was a quiet Thursday evening."

"we were here yesterday to meet a family we had not seen in 20 years. before the hand 8 of us decided to meet a bit earlier and have an evening meal, which we wish we did not disturb. the service was good to start, but then. it went down from there. my own and my partner shared the ham croquets, first they were cut in the half? not sure why, but we think it could have been to check that they were cooked properly, as they tasted, as if they had come out of the freezer. one had the chicken taquitos, that was just a chicken sluice and was not baked. for the first I had the cattle burger, but with red thorny jam and truffle and parmesan fries. burger was simple, no tomato or salate and the jam was just brewed, almost dried red wobble. Burger-Bunge was out of the freezer when it was crooked. the truffle and parmesan fries tasted nothing like truffle, and the “Parmesan” was not parmesan. I mentioned this at the end and the beautiful waitress went and asked and came with “the cook just said that they were very lightly seasoned”. my partner had the pepperoni pizza that was good. two more guests with us had the chili con carne, who was really a puppy game from chili and rice in a bowl with a little sliced chili above. both were sent back when they were cold. again it looked like it came out of a deep cooler and heated again. well to say we didn't go for the desert! the pub is really nice, and the garden is even better. they have a pergola outside with warm lights, which is beautiful especially in summer evenings. would be definitiw again for a drink in the garden."

"Visited for dinner, was greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. We did the tasting menu and were excited to see what the restaurant had to offer. I really enjoyed the restaurant, and found the staffs personalities to be some of my favourite parts of the dinner. We had a special evening trying the menu. The food is incredibly well plated, with some beautiful technique and interesting colours. I found, however, some of the flavours did not match the aesthetics off the dishes overall. We also had empty aperitif glasses along with empty gin bottles on the table for about 4 courses, which I had to ask to be taken after they had been ignored each time. It unfortunately took away from the experience to have our table resemble a pub. We also had to provide a polite reminder to receive the wine we had ordered after waiting a quite a number of courses. Although it is not a deal breaker, this is not the level of attentiveness expected from a restaurant of this calibre. Overall, friendly staff and attractive dishes, but I found the flavours to lack creativeness and the attentiveness could be improved."

"We have been coming to this pub every summer for over 10 years and we all feel it’s really really lost it’s way. Every year we come here as its really near to the holiday cottage we rent . We won’t be coming back. The prices are now exorbitant £7 a pint lager! £10.50 small glass of wine. The staff used to be jolly, chatty and nice but now just look like they don’t want to be there . We could hear the black haired bar manageress swearing in a very vulgar way in the kitchens on a number of occasions in the evening. Just so unpleasant. Not what you want when you are taking your 90 year old parents out. . Made us all feel very uncomfortable when our server came out looking welled up. My dad wanted to leave when he heard this. Being British we kept quiet but it’s bothered me so much since our holiday. I had to write something in the hope that somebody who owns the place might do something about it. Overall now .. over priced, staff who are clearly deeply unhappy and don’t want to be there. Not a very nice atmosphere, particularly when you have paid over £280 for essentially a pub meal I had to stop my 90 year old dad having a rant at her when she came to take payment . Well done lescar You ruined our evening Our last night of our holiday we went to the Norman knight which was a country mile away and a country mile better. £5.05 a pint and £175 for all of us Very disappointed to be writing such a negative review but problems clearly come from the management and to treat young staff this way is unacceptable. Ruined our evening"

"Believe it or not, our recommendation for this gorgeous century inn came from a table mat! My parents have a set of famous English pubs' placemats and this is one of them. As we happened to be in the area, visiting the superb Cotswolds...Distillery, we thought we'd better try it. The Black Horse serves Thai food. A lot of pubs that are converted into restaurants lose their pub character altogether and I was a bit concerned that the Black Horse might be one of them. However, I am delighted to say that the bar and lounge areas still represent a good, traditional English pub with a cosy atmosphere and, by all appearances, a thriving trade entirely separately from the restaurant. The restaurant is housed in a large room with the same old stone and wooden beams as the rest of the inn. The menu is extensive and varied. Prices are fair. Service was very friendly and efficient. All of us found our meals to be absolutely delicious. Oddly, neither desserts nor tea appeared on the menu. Not a big deal but worth bearing in mind. Overall, a really enjoyable lunch. The Black Horse Inn is not on a table mat for nothing!"

"We happened upon this pub looking for a meal that evening (Tuesday). The lovely owner said that he could accommodate us but there wasn’t much food as he was usually closed. He came up with duck, scampi or ha, eggs and chips. We opted for the duck. He took my name and number and arranged to arrive around 6:30. Such a lovely friendly pub, a couple of drinks then we were taken into the restaurant. Loads of old classic motorbikes in there, fab. It turned out to be a set meal, soup (didn’t know what it was, surprise) turned out to be mussel soup. Absolutely delicious with a nice big g chunk of bread. The duck was cooked perfectly, came with mash and fresh veg and home made soup plum chutney, delicious Thought that was it but no, dessert was delicious included as well, out came a Oreo cheesecake, again homemade. Superb welcome, delicious food, we will be back! Thank you"

"I feel ashamed to say I 've never visited this pub, which is pretty close to where i live. However it was my birthday and we decided to take advantage of the Mon Wed 50% scheme. We chose this pub over others because there were at least 4 vegetarian dishes on the menu. The owner was welcoming and very friendly throughout our entire visit. A down to earth guy who was more than helpful to talk through other dish options when it came to ordering food. Drinks a great selection of gins with the option to 'go for a double, at very reasonable price Food brie wedges to start with on a bed of salad and coleslaw...it was so welcoming to see a good amount of salad rather than a few leaves on the side of the plate. Mains ordered; sirloin steak, The Lark burger and goats cheese tart. The steak came with a range of vegetables along with onion rings. The burger and bacon were tasty and served again with chips and onion rings... the goats cheese tart was made with flaky pastry..my favourite. So in total we had 2 starters and 3 mains and 3 drinks £32)!!! It was definitely worth more than the £20 we paid on the food) government scheme, however due to the scheme we went there and we now will definitely go again."
