A Family Reunion


The ancient Saxon village of Winchcombe, near Cheltenham, is home to one of the best restaurants around. I visited 5 North Street on a Sunday lunch time and you must pre-book as it was full by 12:30pm

There was 8 of us for lunch that day and the only complaint was that the August heat was unbearably hot as we sat at the table by the window.

First we were offered an amazing aperitif of Welsh rarebit. This was followed by asparagus soup served with a mini homemade walnut loaf. The starters and main courses were delicately balanced, everything designed to enhance the eating experience. This wonderful meal was rounded off by a gorgeous selection of desserts. Exceptional service making for a fantastic experience and the bill was more than reasonable for the quality of food & service on offer. I am looking forward to the next visit already.
