    Purslane - June 2018 tasting menu

    Delicious dinner (tasting menu) and frankly the best I have had in Cheltenham…read more The tasting menu cost £60, with an added £38 per person for wine pairings. This is what me and my hubs had. The dinner started with a bread course - 3 types of bread. Butter was good, just the right amount of saltiness. Also served with taramasalata, which tasted like a cross between roe and smoked salmon. The sourdough was my fave of the breads. Moving on to the amuse bouche - a really large serving! This was trout sashimi and was super delicious. I think it also had beets and another vegetable served with it. The next 2 courses were also seafood - halibut and lobster. The halibut had this really good cucumber sorbet served with it - maybe just a tad to much for the serving, but it was tasty either way. The lobster - I forgot to take a picture it was so good! The final main course was lamb. Normally, I don't really like lamb all that much, but I really liked this dish. The lamb wasn't too gamey in either the steak style or brisket style lamb. There was also sweetbreads served on the side which was perfectly fried. On to the desserts - there was a cheesecake, a chocolate dish, and petit fours to finish. These were all good, but I honestly would have preferred one more savory dish and one less sweet one. Wine pairings were on point for all the dishes. Standout for me was the British wine that was served with the trout I think? The pours were all very generous as well. Overall, great service, great food, great little restaurant. Highly recommended.

It all tasted so nice, we had the sea bass and chicken and for dessert chocolate mousse with ice cream. The ice cream was quite a unique taste so we asked what it was and even the ice cream was actually homemade! The menu deal was quite reasonable price for around £18 for 3 courses. Overall this was a really nice surprise and a restaurant with some amazing food.

And yes lots of fish but there is a good choice for everyone Its a long way to go for a lunch but I fully recommend it - and - it is reasonably priced...Ramsay always says his lunches in his places are the best value...and so it was here...and a reasonably priced for the quality...3 courses each, total £75 for the 2 of us Nice

    We visited the Rick Stein restaurant on a short stay in Malborough, as my partner loves seafood…read more (Although I am vegetarian, there were options available, including on the set menu.) There are dining rooms both upstairs and down, the latter behind the small bar area. You enter through the shop: the decor - despite this being an 18th century heritage building - is fresh and modern, with dark wood and pale walls, and selected modern art on the walls. We chose the set menu, 3 courses for £26.95. Our starters were the steamed mussels in cider with spring onion and spinach, and roasted red pepper soup; mains were salmon fishcakes with watercress and the chickpea curry (plus a side of hispi cabbage); and we both had the sunken chocolate cake with clotted cream for pudding. (NB the Welsh rarebit isn't veggie - it's made with anchovies.) My starter and main (soup and curry) were perfectly good - the soup especially so - but not exceptional. It didn't surprise me as Rick Stein - both the chef and restaurant - are really all about seafood. My partner found the mussels superb - fresh, sweet, with just the right amount of sauce. Likewise, the fishcakes were excellent and, although they looked small on arrival, they were actually quite filling, and generous on the salmon. The hispi cabbage proved the perfect accompaniment to both mains. The chocolate cake was smooth and velvety, but not too sweet (think a brownie sort of texture) - and perfect if you like dark chocolate. We chose a 250ml glass each of one of the recommended Sauvignon blancs, which also proved a good choice. Service was excellent throughout, and the young server was very skilled at making us feel at home. Including service, the bill came to £95 for two, which for a fine dining experience was pretty good value. Others certainly think so, as on a wet mid-week evening it was packed (so booking definitely advised). There's parking along the main street outside - not a problem in the evening, but potentially a bit more challenging at lunchtime.

    We went here for a quiet mid-week birthday getaway in December and I can't fault the experience…read morefrom beginning to end. The room was a reasonably spacious, well-appointed double en-suite with interesting bits of furniture. Complimentary brownies on arrival were excellent! Good little minibar with a solid small label Champagne. The shellfish tasting menu was lovely with particular highlights being the bisque, scallop thermidore, and the lobster. From the a la carte menu we also had scallops (pork belly, cauliflower purée, lime syrup) which was also very good. Breakfast similarly perfect in the morning with fresh orange juice, poached eggs and toast. Naturally the whole experience wasn't cheap, but it was excellent value.

It would be good for the restaurant to get some of the Margaret River wines on the menu and for some of the Blue Fairy Wrens to flit about in the bushes. The latter can't happen but the former could. However, the seafood platter for two is outstanding and has to be enjoyed slowly whatever the state of the tide.

This has got to be one of the oldest pubs in South Wales, it's medieval and dates from 1380. This is one of those places that reminds you how small we used to be - I'm only 5ft 7 and I stoop through the worn wooden doors. I havn't eaten here, but there is also a well respected restaurant upstairs offering a good selection of seafood dishes. Dishes include: Brixham Crab Cake with baby leaves and lemon butter sauce (£5.25); Plaice Goujons with paprika and a sweet red pepper tartar sauce (£4.95); Roasted Fillet of Hake with a chorizo and roasted red pepper risotto ith tomato, garlic and orange sauce for £13.95 For the vegetarians on the day I visited there was: Tomato Fondue, Wild Mushroom and Aubergine Bake, finished with garlic crumb and poached egg (£4.95) and Rosemary and Truffle Arancini Risotto with a tomato, red onion and spring onion salsa ( £4.95). The restaurant opening times are Monday to Saturday from 7pm to 9.30pm. They also offer bar meals between 12 and 2 pm Mondays to Saturdays and evening meals Monday to Friday from 6 to 8 pm.

    Used to love this place but haven't been for a while and came away disappointed. If you still…read moredecide to go after reading this I warn you to wear layers as even on a hot day it's freezing in there if you sit anywhere near the air conditioning. We had a look at the menu and the waitress came over to take our order. 2 diet cokes with no ice, bbq chicken wings to start, crispy chicken burger with twister fries and 4 onion rings on the side for me and a classic burger 10oz with cheese no tomato, fries and onion rings. We waited a while for our drinks when they came there was ice but the waitress just dumped them and ran off before we could say anything. We just drank them. Our chicken wings came, they were very hot but tasty & crispy. Soft drinks, tea & coffee are refillable. When our meals came my chicken was hot and crispy and fries were tasty. My partner was trying to work out how to eat his burger and he went to cut it in half to make it easier to eat. I spotted something red on his burger bun. I poked my fork in and fished out a very thin slice of tomato. He can't eat tomato due to a medical condition and itches like crazy for days after eating it. He was not happy but the waitresses were the other end of the diner. He asked the grill behind the grill to change it. I think she was just going to change the bun but he asked for s fresh one. She said it wasn't on the ticket but we had asked. I carried on. This was unacceptable to forget two things. We didn't see our original waitress again and another waitress then came over to give the new meal. When he finally tucked in he said it wasn't very nice. So he only had the chicken wings, a couple of bites of a burger and few fries. The second waitress came over to ask how his burger was and he said not nice. She apologised and said she would take it off the bill but before I could say I had an OK Rocks Club card (15% off food) she'd gone. So when she came with the bill she had to redo it to take 15% off. Left very disappointed. Used to love a cheeky burger and a pancake stack and maybe a dollar shake but will think twice before coming here!!

Last visit we had breakfast- we opted to share due to previous visits food not being up to scratch. Had a pot of tea which when asked to refill came back watery - the tea bag was the same as before. It was changed no hassle. Kids food is free when you buy a main which is a bonus. The kids meals were lovely. Can't recall what we had but will add pics
