Quick info
About Hilltop House
Hilltop House is a Chinese restaurant on Southgate Street in Gloucester, set in an informal dining room. The menu covers the broader Chinese range, with vegan options available alongside the meat dishes, and a pre-ordering option for items such as roast duck to be served later in the meal. Service style and pacing vary, as the kitchen can take time to turn orders around and the menu itself is not always straightforward to navigate. The restaurant takes walk-ins and seats guests in the main dining area.

“The menu can be really confusing, service could be better but the food was amazing and not too dear”
- Raymond Lee
“We ordered the roast duck in advance when booking the table, yet it was served last - about 1 hour 30 minutes later. The duck tasted deep-fried rather than roasted and had no flavour. We were very disappointed overall. Service was very slow, and when we spoke to the staff, they gave multiple excuses instead of addressing the issue. With only two tables occupied, including our group of 14, it's unreasonable to blame the delays on being busy.”

“The best Chinese foods taste ever...Highly recommended. World class chef, well done!”
- Sheryl Waldron
“If I could give a zero for the food I would. Barely any meat and what there was were tough and inedible bbq ribs that tasted more of sweet and sour. More sour! Then came the noodles with duck with bones which again was tough. Like it was a week old! We couldn’t eat it, not just because it was so bad but the only provision of utensils were a fork and spoon yet other tables had some authentic dishes. Literally the only table in there, should have turned around and walked back out. The cleanliness of the restaurant was also extremely poor. Amazed by the positive reviews, they must have gone to a different place! Don’t do it to yourselves.”
