Do not expect fine dining here but the food is very tasty. We all had the banquet which was very good value.

We haven't lived in the UK very long, and we had seen many reviews on C&W's being one of the top restaurants in the area. Finally being able to visit we see why it is so highly recommended! This was an absolutely fantastic experience! The food was incredible and the people that work there are SO nice. We will definitely... More

We visited the restaurant as a party of 12, we all opted for the African banquet. Delicious selection of staters, the meat was falling off the bone and so tender. Very relaxed atmosphere with plenty of time between courses, the mains were as tasty as the starters with a choice of 3 different curries- absolutely loved the goat. The owners... More

This place is a real gem. It is very relaxed (bring your own booze) but the food is sensational. For starter we had barbecue brisket and chicken with plantain and a tomato salad. The brisket just melted, it was incredibly tasty. The chicken was amazing, so moist and full of flavour. I've never had plantain before, but it was a... More

This restaurant was recommended to us on a recent visit to Gloucester. I was able to book a table online just a few hours before we wanted to eat, I also received a call from the owner (Charlie) to tell us what food was available that evening and to inform us to bring our own booze. Upon our arrival we... More

Lovely little place. We showed up without a reservation and were squeezed in even though there was no space. The staff could not have been more obliging. The food is amazing - we were asked if we had any dietary requirements and then we got was was ready/fresh. It was spectacular. If we'd booked then we were told we could... More

I ate here last night with my husband and another couple who have recently moved to Gloucester. We were drawn to try the restaurant due to the reviews and the unusual menu. We did not really know what to expect and were surprised to see a small room with 4 -5 tables, more akin to a family home than a... More

I heard about this place through word of mouth, so went with 3 friends - it didn't disappoint. It was a really friendly, relaxed evening, with good food and no ridiculous drinks bill as you take your own wine. There's free parking over the road from the restaurant in the evening, and it's just a minute or two's walk from... More

A great place to eat, very friendly with a warm welcome. All the food was very fresh and cooked very well, offers a wide range of African foods at a cost that won't break the bank. If you have not been, then go, go now!!
