A gastropub in the Cirencester area has been named among the best places in the UK for brunch by Design My Night.

Introducing the list, it said: “What are weekends for if not lazy mornings and egg-fuelled feasts? Oh, and not forgetting all the coffee.

“Whether you're searching for a hearty fry-up in a cosy country pub, a bottomless breakfast by the seaside or a quirky bite in a top city spot, you'll find 'em all here.

“So, without further ado, here's our ultimate guide to the best brunches in the UK.”

Gloucestershire gastropub among UK's best brunch spots

The Crown At Ampney Brook features in the list along with a variety of eateries across the UK.

Design My Night said: “The Crown at Ampney Brook is a beautiful gastropub where loads of light meets modern touches and high ceilings for a stunning setting.

"But that's not all, as brunch is promising a choice of eggs benny, crispy buttermilk chicken waffle with nduja ketchup, bacon, and avo, or fruit-smothered pancakes.”

On the gastropub’s individual page, Design My Night said: “Eat the best of the local area, inspired by their Cotswold surroundings, with a seasonal menu of weekday lunches, weekend brunches, afternoon tea, and big dishes from their copper kitchen, including ribeyes from their robata grill.”

You can also book a stay at the “happily affordable” eatery with 24 boutique rooms also available for guests – ideal if you want to wake up in the countryside.

Desing My night adds that “the restaurant and bar also offer award-winning dining based on a farm-to-table ethos".

“Sometimes more choice means less quality but not here. The service was exceptional too, especially from our waiter Harvey who looked after us so well.

“Nothing was too much trouble and he spoiled our dog rotten too! This was our second visit and we will certainly be back again soon.”

Another commented: “We all had starters, mains and dessert, every dish was great. Service was fab, very helpful and polite. Standout dish was the tomahawk pork chop from the specials, very well cooked.”
