Not my first time at the Yurt and it's always a very relaxed and friendly environment. We both ate off the set menu having asparagus as a starter and hake as the main. Both were delicious!

We ate from the lunchtime menu, portions were spot on, meaning you could enjoy all three courses without being too full. The food was delicious, vibrant and fresh.

One of the nicest meals we’ve had in a very long time. Beautifully presented, clean, delicious food which for a coeliac is a miracle, given how many so called gastronomy a we have around here.

Very good experience at The Yurt last week. Excellent lunch a la carte - the monkfish, crab and coley scampi to start was delicious, followed by a mouthwatering roast rump of lamb. Limited wine choice but this is soon to be rectified with new wines coming in.
The Yurt at NicholsonsResponded on April 7, 2025
Many thankd for your review, Susan.
Glad you enjoyed it; the scampi is a favourite of ours also!
We are always evolving and finding new wines, so our menu changes often. Please come back soon and try it for yourself!

This is our second visit to the Yurt. We stopped off on our way to a short stay in the Cotswolds. It did not disappoint. The food was, once again, excellent. The quality of produce and standard of cooking doesn’t fit the price you’re billed for it. To call this value for money is an under statement . We have recommended The Yurt to so many people and I highly recommend it to anyone reading this.
