Stayed in Cotswold over NYE. Struggled to find somewhere to have dinner, luckily I was able to book in at Bitter & Twisted. The food menu prices are very high… however, the meal was really tasty. I had the salmon and my partner had the Lamb Souvlaki. We both really enjoyed the meals. It was NYE so we stayed a while, the staff was welcoming and attentive - table service was ideal, as I’m pregnant so it would have been too crowded to constantly order at the bar. The music was good, and the atmosphere was lively! It was a lovely place to spend our NYE. I’ll definitely visit again when I am able to indulge in some cocktails. ☺️
Had a late breakfast in Bitter & Twisted this morning. Full English - fried eggs, toast, beans, hash browns, cherry tomatoes (lovely touch), mushrooms (beautifully cooked), sausage, bacon, black pudding - and the whole plate was superb. Particularly noteworthy were the sausages, bacon and especially the black pudding, all of which, in some places, can be a bit variable when you go out for breakfast. But not here. Exceptional, all of them. Chef obviously cares to source good ingredients, and it shows. Am now stuffed. Will be returning. Thank you, Chef.
We had the Christmas menu, just the mains. It was quite expensive and, honestly, the food was disappointing. The waitress admitted the potatoes were cooked in the morning and reheated so were tough, dry and horrible! The meat was overcooked and very dry and tasteless. The service was lovely and top rate and the atmosphere was good so go for a drink and a chat but not sure about the food!
Good place for a family brunch, it's a bit expensive than usual however the service was fantastic and they also had a good selection of beer on tap. The staff managed to sort out a table for 11 literally within 20mins and the food came out very quickly, but from the looks of it they seemed to have limited seating so best to call and book in advance. They have parking availability nearby that has a two hour limit but it was quite small. There are other parking spots available nearby too. This restaurant is dog friendly. I found the Sunday roast (turkey) was mediocre, it was probably down to my own expectations as it's the first time I've ate a roast but other people in my group gave good feedback. The sausage and mash was good, the steak also looked really good and their burgers are also quite chunky and flavourful. I would come back here to try out different burger options.
Very good smoked haddock linguine. The steak was also good, but just comes with (generous amount of) chips - some mushrooms and grilled tomato would be nice for the price - menu option of rocket salad was declined (does anyone really like rocket??) The daily cocktail offer for £5 is great value.
