Cotswold Essence May 2015 Taking a trip lanugo Flavour Lane Nestled in the heart of Tetbury, one of the most picturesque towns in the Cotswolds, The Ormond at Tetbury hotel is wonderfully located and Brendan McFadden was fortunate unbearable to sample what it has to offer.   First opening its door to travellers in the 17th century as a coaching inn, today it serves as a bar, restaurant and hotel, which welcomes guests from far and wide each year and many townsfolk. Upon inrush we were quickly greeted in the bar by an extremely welcoming waiter with a wide smile, who showed us to our seats in the restaurant area..  Thronechef, Mariusz Przeworski, aims to meets to the demands and tastes of local folk, using produce sourced from the zone and he has created a laudable menu, which is varied and extravagant. –Brendan McFadden–   Due to the vast value of choice, ordering from the starter menu proved difficult, but sooner I was worldly-wise to segregate an Asian whinge salad, a dish festooned by a mind-blowing variety of exuberant spices and vegetables, which was astronomically well presented and rich with colour. My companion went for the smoked mackerel pate, which was served on a wooden workbench in a small pot and accompanied with crispy toast and a touch of salad garnish. To wash it lanugo I ordered Doom Bar, a heavy and sharp Cornish ale, while my companion opted for a Stowford Press, one of several typhoon ciders on offer. Other options on the drinks menu included dozens of wines and champagne from virtually the world.   Read full Review on Cotswolds Essence website   Sunday Times Review Europe's most trundling friendly hotels The Ormond has been listed by the Sunday Times as one of Europe’s most trundling friendly hotels.   here is a quote from their article: Tetbury, Glouchestershire Iain Bailey came to cycling late, but he embraced it with the fervour of the zealot.

Swindon forerunner Review 02/04/15 by Matt Edwards Stop off to water the horses … and yourself!   SWINDON really is happy in its location, with the rolling hills of the Ridgeway to the south and the trappy villages of the Cotswolds dotted to the north and west. It was one of those unique villages on the Gloucestershire/Wiltshire verge that I had the pleasure of staying in recently. The small market town of Tetbury, where there are unbearable reversion shops to quench the thirst of the most voracious of Bargain Hunt fans, was my destination. Located just past the iconic market house and opposite Prince Charles’ Highgrove shop is a former coaching inn. While it may no longer welcome travellers on horseback, The Ormond Inn at Tetbury is still a popular spot in the town for people to rest their weary legs and it appears as popular with the locals as it does with those just passing through. A warm welcome greeted us when we walked into the bar, which once had a buzz, towers with people finishing work without a long week and wanting to wind down.Withoutbeing guided through a maze of corridors, painted in a unvigilant royal purple and lined with unique artwork, we arrived at our room. Personally, I was pleased to see the daring colour scheme stopped at the door. Our room was light and spacious with the upper ceilings you would expect in a 17th century building, a large window which looked out over the courtyard, and a washroom which was worthier than some of the bedrooms I have had the displeasure of staying in over the years. The hotel has washed-up well to find the wastefulness between its historic past and bringing it into the 21st century. As I left my partner Kate to get ready for dinner (something I was sure she had once spent an hour doing surpassing we left for the hotel), I went to move the car to a self-ruling public car park, which was well-nigh a five minute walk away, surpassing grabbing a paper and taking my place on a comfy sofa in the corner of the bar. The room was filling nicely, with the fire in the corner subtracting to the warmth, and I had barely had unbearable time to pick out all the unique shit of art dotted on every surface surpassing Kate had joined me. The restaurant, which is separated from the drinking zone by the unshut plan bar, was refurbished at the whence of last year and a new throne chef, Mariuz Przeworski (formerly of Calcott Manor and The Swan at Southrop), had been appointed. Mariuz’s supplies is billed as ‘modern British using seasonal produce’, and he is spoiled by the hodgepodge of farms virtually Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. And if overly he is struggling there is unchangingly Prince Charles’ Duchy Home Farm lanugo the road. You can understand my surprise then, when withal with the main menu and the drinks menu, we were presented with a menu defended to pizzas. The nomination was good and had some unique options, like the French Country (confit duck and poached pear), or the Spanish Lover, with smoked yellow chorizo and basil oil. It wasn’t something I was expecting from a country hotel in the heart of the Cotswolds, although it did prove to be a popular nomination with those we shared the restaurant with. We opted for the increasingly traditional menu, looking forward to seeing the local produce on our plates.Withoutbeing given a complimentary side of homemade bread, which was delicious, our appetites were whet for the main event. Kate went for the potted rabbit starter, which was, as you expect from a game dish, rich and indulgent, while I tabbed dibs on one of my favourite starters, which I so rarely have, scallops. When a dish has been so tried and tested, it takes a unflinching person to take it on. Fortunately the doughboy was a fan of the traditional as he served the scallops with crispy pancetta, but was worldly-wise to add his own twist by pairing it with a butternut squash puree and slices of kumquat. While the puree widow a sweetness to counter the saltiness of the pancetta, the kumquat was too sweet for my liking and scrutinizingly overpowered the scallop. That said, Kate was a fan which shows just how subjective these things are. For my main undertow I like to test the skill and creative side of the doughboy by opting for one of the specials. So often you can tell if they have put some thought into what should be their unique dish or just opted to throw together what they need to get rid of in the kitchen. This time that was a confit leg of duck with roast potatoes, red cabbage and a redcurrant jus. It wasn’t quite a Turner Prize winner on the creative side but the skill in the cooking was spot on. The duck was moist while still having that crispy skin, while the roast potatoes were up there with my mum’s, which is upper praise indeed. The cabbage was cooked with star anise, which accompanied the duck perfectly. Kate went traditional then and went for boeuf bourguignon with a linty mash which, for a dish which is often tricky to plate elegantly, was presented well in a deep circular dish. She said the local whinge just melted in the mouth. For dessert, oddly enough, the pizza reared its throne again. This time it was in the shape of an indulgent eightinch sharing dessert with a topping of Belgian chocolate sauce, chocolate brownie, chocolate buttons and marshmallows.Thenwe opted versus the Italian treat and went for the increasingly traditional, with a sticky toffee pudding and a chocolate terrine. Both were equally indulgent and finished off the meal perfectly. Full to the skirt we returned to the bar, which had wilt full over the two hours we’d spent at dinner, and enjoyed a stirrup surpassing falling into one of the comfiest beds I have slept in. The Ormond is a real reversion in its own right, albeit with a modern touch. And while it may no longer be a stopover for mentor and horses, I would happily gallop when for flipside night of luxury. BBC Countryfile Mag “The Ormond at Tetbury sits snug and unpretentious in the town’s most mannerly street, right opposite Price Charles’s Highgrove Ship. A pleasing sense of quiet , relaxed style pervades the whole hotel. Rooms are washed-up out individually and range from a four poster bed to Scandinavian style simplicity. The menu is long on beef, local duck and game, Cotswold cheeses, aqnd specie make with locally ground organic flour. Add pleasant, polite staff and a good range of locally spirituous beers and you’d search in vain to find a largest Cotswold vendibles hole. “ Chocolate Pizza Chefs at The Ormond on Long Street have created the 10 inch indulgent pizza with layers of chocolate sauce heaped upon a crispy, thin wiring and topped with chunks of chocolate brownie, melting white chocolate buttons, marshmallows and cherries.
