Kathryn offers a bespoke dining service in one of the UK\u2019s smallest restaurant which offers a range of dining experiences for up to eight people per sitting. The Gloucester Studio is a fine dining experience with The Pyromaniac Chef on-hand. An element of the meal is cooked before guests, before being served on wooden plates, and given drinks from handmade cups. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23199\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/inside-glucester-studio.jpg?resize=800%2C600\" alt=\"The Gloucester Studio\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/inside-glucester-studio.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/inside-glucester-studio.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/inside-glucester-studio.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>Kathryn ensures the guests\u2019 dietary requirements are met, and goes out of her way to ensure that everyone has a memorable experience &#8211; whatever their needs. This includes making her own bread and butter; ensuring that products are sourced locally and the menu adapted to ensure the freshest in-season produce.

I think that a lot of effort and thought have gone into the whole experience &#8211; including the little touches around the restaurant. Parking around the area is a little difficult but most guests take advantage of the drink being included in the price and take a taxi. It is also worth remembering that it is a small restaurant around a fire, therefore diners can expect to get smoky. The only other thing to consider (especially if drinking vast amounts of wine) is that there is no toilet in the restaurant, and therefore you have to go into Kathryn\u2019s house to use the facilities (and it can be quite cold moving away from the cosy fire). I really enjoyed my time at The Gloucester Studio and the food was of a very high standard. In fact I do not even like pineapples but ate my desert and was very pleasantly surprised at how good they tasted!<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/open-fire-cooking.jpg?resize=800%2C426\" alt=\"The Gloucester Studio\" width=\"800\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/open-fire-cooking.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/open-fire-cooking.jpg?resize=300%2C160 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/open-fire-cooking.jpg?resize=768%2C409 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kathryn is now in the process of setting up <strong>Bite into the Cotswolds<\/strong> &#8211; which aims at connecting food producers\/suppliers and restaurants\/chefs in the area to the media.
