Relish - Cotswold

Great food, well priced, good vibe. Great stop in the lovely quaint Town of Cirencester! Gets busy in peak hours.

My wife and I frequently stop here for a mid afternoon coffee and cake. Parking is easy, the surroundings are spacious and the view of the lake and bird activity is very peaceful. The biggest problem is deciding which of the cakes to by. There are so many and so good.

Relish provided their catering and event services for my daughters wedding at our local WI Hall. I would recommend Relish for a wedding occasion the food was superb and the service they provided was first class. Considering they cooked the food in an unfamiliar kitchen the presentation was excellent making the wedding breakfast most enjoyable and positive comments made by all of the 60 guests.

Have visited before for lunch and stopped in whilst visiting Cotswold Outdoor shop next door. I think it depends on whether you are looking for a meal or light bite to be honest. We opted for toasted sandwiches(pitta breads) and a pot of tea. The pittas are in the fridge next to sandwiches and there is some choice , but no prices so we incorrectly thought they would be similar to the sandwiches....the bill for two toasties and two cups of tea was £14.30 ...which I think is quite a lot. However they had fish and chips for £8 ,which the person on the next table had, and that was a huge portion for the price. Lesson learned...the hot meals are far better value. I would not rush back here, but the restaurant is clean and staff friendly.

I have visited relish several times now and almost always have been very pleased with the excellent food. Enough to keep me coming back! My usual dish is the Eggs Benedict only once has this been disappointing. The rest of the time it has been extremely tasty and satisfying. Even my 9 year old wants to order it next time. My last visit was just 'passing through ' and I grabbed a quick prepacked sandwich to take away. I have never had a sandwich packed full of so much chicken! It felt like a proper meal and I was full up afterwards. The salad bar is another favourite. There are always three salad dishes which you can choose from or have a mix of two or all three. All are home made and fresh. Overall, my experience of the food is that it is of great quality, is home made and always has an extra 'tasty ' factor compared to some other cafes. This does reflect in the price but sometimes I don 't mind paying a bit extra for a special lunch.
