"Yet again we had a splendid lunch and an enjoyable visit. The Rattlebone staff are very attentive, the food is excellent (possibly the best pub food in the area) and the pub itself is very pleasant inside. The baked Camembert (a starter for two) was served with a nice selection of breads, pickles and salad. We both followed with the partridge (from the specials board) which was nicely cooked and served with a generous helping of perfectly cooked vegetables. The Butcombe on draught was good. We will be back. Sherston itself is a pretty village with several nice walks in the surrounding countryside."

"I have never felt robbed after visiting a restaurant before, I did last night. Service was poor and slow. Although some staff were good two had attitude with everything they did. The Steak was terrible. Hard to cut despite being medium rare. For the price I could have bought 3 and cooked to a far higher standard. The entire menu is overpriced for what it is. I won't be visiting again. Lack of atmosphere and to hear who I assume is the manager at the bar saying they are too busy for more or something along those lines. It was nowhere near full and you could see they were struggling. There was 6 of us and it was the biggest waste of £200 ever. Edit: forgot to mention the menu didn't make any sense, banoffee pie said it had a digestive base but it they used rich tea. So weird."

"I have always been a huge fan of The Birdcage, and the regular staff are always delightful. Since being diagnosed with coeliac disease last year, I have been eating gluten-free. The gluten-free pizza is delicious (5-star worthy), but they do not offer a small size option and charge an extra £1 for the gluten-free base, which feels like a bit of a disappointment. During a lunch outing with friends, we all ordered the smaller £9 lunch deal pizzas, but I ended up having to pay £16 unexpectedly, as they did not inform me at the time of ordering that the smaller size was not available in gluten-free (or about the additional charge), and only mentioned this when the food was brought to the table and I pointed out the mistake. I really enjoyed the taste and texture of the pizza and will return for dinner, but I will likely avoid pizza lunches in the future as it feels quite unfair. The falafel, which is also gluten-free, is delicious as well!"

"Really frustrated. I ordered delivery and it took 2 whole hours to arrive. I was told the driver did not leave until 1.5 hours after I ordered, even though I was told it would take 30 mins to an hour. The phone operator was aware how many miles away I was but the driver made out like it was my bad for ordering on a busy Saturday. The polite thing to do would be to offer a discount to say sorry for the wait, yet I was still made to pay £5 for a 2 hour delivery of cold food. Really disappointing customer service, especially as I've given this place a lot of custom."
