The Courtyard Restaurant

Starter of Cotswold bread and oil which was lovely. The main meal of lamb was superb, vegetables all beautifully cooked. My son ate the the beef shared platter which was delicious. The atmosphere, service and wonderful historic surroundings were truly excellent. We had noted the varied comments on new menu but I would happily drive an hour to return sooner rather than later

We love this place. Food is great, drinks are great, but Roger the main man made our experience exceptional. He made us feel welcome immediately and helped us decide what food was best for us. We literally sat there soaking up the place while he looked after us, better than we've had in years. We're very grateful to him and will definitely return as long as he is there. Thank you so much Roger.

Finally visited ‘Grill’ restaurant at Lygon Arms and thoroughly impressed with the entire experience (although totally broke as a result!) Having seen some very mixed reviews from others about James Martin’s new restaurant at Lygon Arms, we were in two minds as to whether to cancel and go elsewhere… thank god we didn’t! The service was excellent, starters (burrata and aubergines) and steaks (we both had 6oz Fillets) were outstanding - they were cooked to perfection. We found the red Argentinian Malbec the perfect wine pairing for our mains. Didn’t have enough room - or money - for desserts… which leads me on to the price. It is VERY expensive - I appreciate inflation has got pretty steep lately, and James Martin obviously needs his cut for having his name over the door, but almost £200 for bread/olives, 2 starters, 2 steaks, 1 side, and 3 glasses of wine? Given we’re not in central London I must admit I was pretty horrified when I got the bill. All said and done, it was an amazing meal but I’ll probs need to remortgage ahead of a follow-up visit!

I popped in to try it out and was glad I did, the food was great (I chose a multitude of small starters rather than a main meal) they have a good list of wines to choose from and I loved the darker than usual lighting in there, the staff were all very polite as you would expect in a place such as this.
