I live locally-ish. Tortworth has options for different occasions and I love that. I really should go more often. Last night was dinner with an ex colleague. We’re foodies and want to enjoy what we are eating whilst we gossip. We arrived early, straight from work and first to be seated. We had a perfect window seat looking over the garden and those enjoying their summer drinks in the sun. Joseph/Joe was our server, who was young, helpful and very sweet. Attentive but not overbearing. Great recommendations and insights on what other guests thought of options. Pink Prosecco to celebrate a new job with some olives and artisan bread. Yum! I think my friend had pan fried cod on risotto but I can’t be too sure because I was lost in my grilled halloumi on giant couscous! Really hearty and light at the same time. We had a classic tiramisu but it was dressed with little biscotti, tiny pieces of meringue and fruit, that made it just a little bit different. Nice touch. We finished off in the bar next door with Paloma and a Mojito.
Perfect evening, thanks Tortworth!

Read moreGroup of 10 for food in Resturant and I have to say it was a cluster of errors. Firstly the service was absolutely awful and took close to 40 minutes just for drink to arrive and then a further 10-15 minutes for someone to take our order.
The food, not worth it at all. The pizzas were absolutely awful and looked like they were pre-packed/frozen and then put into the pizza oven. Plastic disgusting pizza, you’ve got 2 amazing stone pizza oven but do not serve stone baked pizzas just makes absolutely no sense to me.
Salmon salad super dry and very little taste but by far the worst was the so called spinach and ricotta tortellini which actually had no spinach in it at all. It does seem that potentially they had run out and went to Tesco to buy some four cheese tortellini with tinned chopped tomatoes instead which at the price of £19 is ridiculous. The only semi decent meal from our table was the goats cheese salad which lets me honest you cannot get that wrong.
Overall, extremely pour experience and I would not recommend or return. The team need to change the menu and actually buy fresh and...
Read moreA little shocked at our dinner experience here. Hubby ordered a steak, they asked which sauce he wanted. He chose one and they charged $3.50 for it. We have never, ever paid for steak sauce before and we travel alot! I had lamb. It was VERY pink in the middle. (I cant honestly say that it was raw as I dont know for sure but it was very close to raw center) then we went to order dessert and mentioned that we were full already but were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. After we ordered and dessert came, the waitress asked if she can send a special celebration dessert with us. Ummmm, why didnt we get that offer BEFORE we ordered dessert? Then to top it off, we got a 10% service charge onto our total yet. Never had that happen here in England before either. We typically tip 20% to 25% but decided with all the strange glitches at such a classy place, 10% was more than plenty. It was a disappointment to our special...
