The Whitminster Inn

The China Garden is a restaurant of distinction with one of the most outstanding and selective menus available. Since opening in March 2004 it has become one of Gloucestershire's favourite eating places with genuine Chinese cuisine and top class service. You can check for your favourites using the floating list on your right.

The restaurant is part of the Whitminster Inn, set immediately off the hotel reception and adjacent to the rear garden. The conservatory is highly popular, especially during the summer and on sunny days. Should you wish to sit in the conservatory, we recommend that you make you wishes known when placing your reservation. The garden is also popular on warm days, and again, please make your wishes known at the time of booking.

We are open from 12.00 noon to 2.30 p.m. for lunches and 5 'til late for dinner.

There is an excellent wine list to accompany your meal, and of course, our staff are dedicated to your every need. If you wish, you can order your meal when making your reservation. This way your order will be placed with the kitchen immediately upon your arrival without the need to await table service. We look forward to meeting you and your family and friends.
