Sadly, as travelers, most of the places that have been recommended to us were pubs and fried fish joints. The Corner House was a turn for the better! The food here honestly did come out quite nicely plated and the taste was a pleasant surprise! Flavors were nicely balanced and full of delicious flavor. The prices are reasonable, the portion sizes are great, and the service was excellent. This is a nicer place to go for a better dining experience with a fair amount of menu options. The Monk Fish was our favorite. We write more reviews on our EatWanderExplore blog.

As we were leaving the train station and headed towards our hotel, I noticed this little gem. Later…read morein the evening when we were pondering where to go for our dinner, I saw that that Sorrento had received high praise on Trip Advisor, and our decision was made. The small restaurante is owned by a sweet Italian family. I love the homey atmosphere of the place. Large wooden tables, interesting ball wrapped fixtures, and friendly staff who offered quick service with helpful answers to questions about the menu. I had a glass of Chardonnay, which I was told would be a bit dry, but l found it quite lovely and mild. It was easy to drink and went nicely with all we ate. The Mozzarella In Carrozza (Breaded and deep fried mozzarella cheese in breadcrumbs served with basil scented napolitana dip) was fantastic. At £5.50, it was an excellent starter. I was expecting Mozzarella sticks, but what arrived to our table was a 3 or 4 inch round of deliciously oozy mozzarella in a crunchy bread coating. It was delicious. I went with the Pollo Alla Pizzaiola (Breast of chicken cooked in tomato, garlic, oregano, fresh mozzarella, white wine and basil pesto sauce). It came with a side of steamed vegetables (broccoli, carrots and potatoes). I would have enjoyed a small side of pasta with it for £13.50, but it was so delicious. For dessert, I had to go for the Souffle al Cioccolato, which is quite self explanatory. It was a seriously delicious and dense chocolate cake and the centre was so thick and luscious. It's more than worth the £4.95 price. This was by far the best dessert that I have had in England. Superb. I spoke with the owner after the meal to inquire as to whether the desserts were made in house and I was told that they were. The ice creams aren't, but the actual dessert is. I passed along my high praise. He had a nice conversation with us and offered us an after-dinner drink. We selected the Limoncello and it was amazing, and a nice end to a wonderful meal. I highly recommend this restaurant, and will look forward to a trip back to Stroud so we can return.

If you are from the USA, do not go to the Royal Oak in Painswick!!…read moreWe were first in line at 6 pm when they started taking food orders. We waited for our food to come for over an hour, with the waitstaff assuring us they were working on it. Meanwhile, the tables patronized by "locals"--both inside and out--were being served their dinners, even though they put their orders in after we did. Finally, they told us our dinner would be there in 15 minutes. When that didn't happen, we paid for our drinks and left. They did not seem to care at all. We went down the street to The Falcon pub, where the staff was very attentive and the food and wine was very good. I can only conclude that the Royal Oak is not fond of Americans. Worst service EVER!!!

The Royal Oak pub is one of the most delightful I have ever visited…read more It is in Painswick, a village of enormous charm constructed almost entirely of local Cotswold stone. The stone has a soft, beautiful beige cast which sets off the darker stone shakes that make the roofs. The Royal Oak is a perfect example of this lovely architecture. Due to some rather odd bureaucratic nonsense one can enter the pub to the right of the main entrance or the left. This oddity makes one wonder which is the best side to alight on. If one enters right you will see a fireplace festooned with chalkboard dining options, a small bar, and a piano. We choose to enter right and ordered the excellent local beer (Gold) and got our bearing from the owner/chef, Michael who helped by making helpful item suggestions. If one follows the British Telly series "Pie in the Sky", one is bound to be reminded of the late Richard Griffiths for Michael is indeed a man who has created a family in his pub and a pub in his family. The atmosphere is just wonderful and Michael's staff are clearly part of the act. I liked the pub instantly and was now curious about Michael's food. It was all good. I ordered a huge pork rib, so sweet and tender it melted in my mouth. It was surrounded by baby peas and thick chips. My partner ordered battered cod and chips. The fish was fresh, perfectly combined with a light batter, and cooked to perfection. Pudding was a wonderful Spotted Dick so plentiful that we needed to share. During and after our meal we chatted with other patrons, one of whom took to the piano. Michael is a native of Bristol and allowed me to pick his brain for some local lore at the bar after our meal. He suggested I look in his courtyard and see the way it protects patrons from unwanted breezes. I found it a comfortable place to sit if one wanted quiet. I peeked in the window of the "other" side of the pub and found several patrons watching a game and gossiping. I wanted to go in, but Michael said with a twinkle, "That's where I put the naughty patrons." It's a week bit smaller than the piano side, but just as warm and friendly. Michael has created an atmosphere that is hard to find almost anywhere and deserves six stars in the pub category.
