I've just moved to Tetbury from Scotland, and urgently require advice on the following issues from locals!
1. What's the best pub within 10 miles for a Sunday roast/carvery?
2. What's the best Indian restaurant within 10 miles (I heard passage to India in Nailsworth is good!)
Thanks in advance!

Specifically, has anyone tried the local Bengal Lancer? Is it licensed?

Tipputs www.food-club.com/tipputs.htm is my favourite for a roast. Choice of two meats & good alternative menu and nice wines too. You can walk across the fields via Chavenage if you fancy it. Only had a takeaway from the Bengal Lancer, their dishes are on the mild side, but very tasty. No idea about the drink situation as I stayed in the pub when the takeout was collected ;D |

The Bengal Lancer doesn't sell alcohol but you can take your own in.
Try the Royal Oak for Sunday lunch - great value and plenty of food!

There are many choices for a good sunday roast... The Tipputs as stated is very good, as is the Priory (though can be pricey - in particular do not order the Cabernet Sauvignon expecting it to be the house stuff...instead you get a £28 bottle of, admittedly lovely, fine wine - my fault for not reading the label I guess!!!!). Also very nice is the Black Horse in North Nibley (about 25 mins drive), the food is very good.
A new favourite of my wife and I, however, is The Potting Shed in Crudwell (10 mins drive). This is a fairly new venture and is lovely, both in atmosphere and food.
My final recommendation, if you fancy a bit of a drive to another part of the Cotswolds, is The New Inn at Coln St Aldwyn (the other side of Cirencester)...it is fantastic. One of the beneficiaries from the "Kate Moss effect" to hit that part of the Cotswolds. Again, the food is lovely, and it has a great beer garden for those summer evenings!
As you can tell...we spend far too many weekends sampling our local eateries!!!!
On a similar note, I notice that the Ormond appears to have undergone something of a recent facelift and the bar now seems to reflect the quality of the restaurant. They are also offering a Sunday roast...has anyone tried it yet?

On your other question, the Bengal Lancer is nice, though it closes rather early for an Indian restaurant (10pm). The food and the service are very good. It is unlicensed, but a quick trip to the off-license, 100 yards away, prior to sitting down soon sorts that issue out!!!

No 65 in the high street superb for Sunday Lunch and evening. Very Quiet and personal.
The Rose and Crown in Uley and the pub in Lea very good too. Also super pub in Sapperton.
