The Ragged Cot - Stroud

We went for a large family Sunday lunch after the avoidance of the coin for over a year because of bad service and bad experiences. the whole experience was much improved. the meals were nicely cooked, good portions and the young staff team friendly and helpful. well done, please keep it on the head!

Ordered two chicken caesar salads, which were described on the menu, as made from huhn, small gem salat, pancetta, parmesan, croutons with a caesar dressing with a soft boiled egg embroidered. when they arrived, they consisted exclusively of salat and huh with dressing. I wanted to find a worker who saw a few minutes later with two hard cooked eggs on a teller and a smoker who looked like crispy brothcrumbs, apparently that was the panketta. no sign for the rest of the infested and no rabate as apologise describes it completely undermined.

They were short of wein had not the first choice, bottle put on the table said they could not open why. no fish cakes a seabread left, mushroom star good pate tasteless, we sat and sat waiting for main course saw other diners...bedient, waiter apologise said cook on itself, wait again and at the end gave up and went home. I'm sorry that the house personnel don't go back.

The dome experience is definitely not worth the cost. don't waste your money. eating was overpriced and only average quality for what was a Sunday dinner. came from this culinary experience completely underwhelmed and disappointed.

First impressions of venue and car park were great. We were seated with some confusion by a new member of staff. We consistently waited at every stage of the evening. Drinks order took forever, food order took forever. Decided to order bread and oils while...we waited for our starter, what you dont get told is that the bread arrives at the same time as your starter which was ludicrous, this took about an hour. The toasted sourdough bread arrived untoasted, no one came to do a check back to see if everything was ok and there were no staff around to speak too. Around an hour later our mains were ready so our table was cleared, i made a comment about the started and no comment was made in return. The mains were served 2/4 meals were ok, again no one came to see if everything was ok, the fish was inedible and the chips were anaemic. Again no interest in the amount of food left on plates. Dessert was offered but i had to check we would have enough time to eat it given we had already been there 3 hours! We had to ask for drinks, and when we were offered water it took an hour and a reminder to get it. So disappointed that what should have been a lovely night out was tarnished with poor service and poor food. I chose a special local place and will think twice before i do it again.
