Cotswold Fire & Grill — Restaurant in Vale of White Horse

Urgent: The Disturbing Truth Behind Cotswold Fire and Grill

You might dine at a restaurant for its food and ambiance, but would you still go if you knew the story behind it? Cotswold Fire and Grill's origins are troubling, rooted in Floyd's Grill owned by Jules Jakoljevich. Before Floyd's Grill sank into insolvency, Jules craftily sold the restaurant to his brother, Sacha, for the lowest legal amount, a move that now appears highly suspicious. Jules also stacked up massive debts with suppliers before closing down the restaurant.

Heartbreakingly, many employees from Floyd's Grill, and now at Cotswold Fire and Grill, have been left unpaid. I am among these devastated workers, left without money for basic necessities like food and bills. Many of us are on the brink of desperation, feeling trapped and unheard.

And if you're thinking the quality might still be worth it, think again. Just this Tuesday, the restaurant received a distressing food hygiene rating of 1 out of 5. A grade like this indicates that "Major Improvement is Necessary". Specifically, this restaurant has been found lacking in several areas: there are concerns about issues with improper food storage leading to high risks of cross-contamination and spoilage, and, alarmingly, severe poor cleaning standards. These are not just general concerns but actual issues reported for Cotswold Fire and Grill. Would you risk your health?

I'm writing this under a pseudonym, fearing retaliation and further jeopardizing my chances of getting the pay I worked hard for. We, the employees, are in an incredibly vulnerable position, reaching out for your understanding and support.

very poor menu choice, extremely basic and was a big disappointment. food was not bad at all, but during the first month that the restaurant was open the menu was rich and various with tacos, sliders etc. now there are very basic burgers, hot dogs and chips, all the good rest has gone. nothing special about the place or menu anymore. When we walk in, there was a lot of staff chatting and chilling and we were the only 2 people in. staff was not welcoming when walked in and food took a while to come out. just our waitress was nice eventually. it was a bit awkward walking in and should have just walked out immediately seen the welcome and the vibes. very poor choices of drinks too. realised when walked out that the offer burger plus drink was no applied either. bring back the menu you had during first month you opened, which was good and various and please make the atmosphere a bit more friendly and welcoming. Would not recommend unless big changes are made. their new published...

First time diners and being local we thought we would check out this new establishment. 2 Adults and a very fussy 7 year old in tow table booked for 1700. Bright well decorated and very clean looking restaurant seated promptly. Drinks were served in chilled glasses and matches the beers lovely attention to detail. We ordered the honey and garlic chicken wings, Beef brisket and Katsu chicken burger, daughter had a Hot doggy dog. Food was outstanding cooked brilliantly, large portions and great balance of flavour. So if the food and premises were not enough to get you to eat there then go for the service, I can honestly say it has been a long time since we had service this great, The manager (sorry did not get the name) was absolutely perfect with his timings politeness and actually got the feeling he loves working there. The 2 girls were also really good. Well done guys can’t wait to...
