We had lunch at Rick Stein's place a few years ago. It was not, shall we say, the best meal we have had

Or there's the Cotswolds. Went there in a rented 246GT and had a fantastic time (with Mrs G). The Lygon Arms is wonderful.

if its not upto scratch there will either be a hefty chunk off the bill or a horrendous scene in the restaurant!
fingers crossed it will be good, mrs smallspeed has been talking about how much she'd like to go there for a while

ps.. i grew up in the cotswolds so its kind of not a holiday if you know what i mean. also if i pass into the thames valley, even on my way somewhere else, 1001 different relatives want to know why i didnt go visit them

pps.. i'm still loving the idea of staying in that grand designs castle! next time maybe

They have some serious savings to be made at the moment booking online for the Lygon Arms.
Stayed there last year with a group of Porsche owners, very enjoyable.
