About Curio Lounge

Curio Lounge occupies a former snooker hall on King St in Stroud, and the upstairs still carries that decor. Ordering runs through QR codes at the table, with food brought over rather than full table service. The menu runs from a tapas section, three dishes for £12.75, through recurring plates like the quesadilla, nasi goreng, and triple stack pancakes, alongside a full English and lounge breakfast. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options sit throughout the menu, and a kids menu with toys is provided for children. Dogs are welcome inside. A discretionary tip is added to the bill and can be declined at the till.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return for the lounge breakfast and weekend brunch, with regulars naming the triple stack pancakes, quesadilla, and full English, and one diner singling out the nasi goreng as delicious. Close behind, the kids menu, vegan and vegetarian options, and tapas platters draw repeat praise, and the rustic decor and lively atmosphere come up consistently. Cocktails get mixed notes, with passion fruit mojitos praised while one reviewer warns against the Pina Colada. Service splits reviewers: several describe it as friendly and reliable across weekly visits, but others report slow pacing, forgotten orders, and cold food, with one detailing a rude waitress banging down ketchup and unclean toilets. A separate reviewer describes a gluten free toastie arriving burnt and unseasoned, and one notes a sticky table even after cleaning. Several visitors mention returning almost weekly or several times a month for years.

    “Food is amazing, fries are crispy yet soft inside and very well seasoned. The atmosphere is amazing and the rustic & historic vibe is really lovely to see however table we sat at was sticky even after it was cleaned.. Service was fab too.”
  • Google user
    “The food was rather bland and plain. Very nondescript. In the evenings there seems little choice and this seemed like a good option. In no rush to dine here again. Drinks and service generally good.”

    “Waiter does not even seem professional literally picked from the streets. Can’t even be gluten free anymore, why is an 8 quid toastie look like shit, cheese not even toasted, not even grilled just used a toaster and presentation is straight out of the picture. At this point don’t preach about being gluten free because why is my toastie burnt loaf bread, not even sourdough, at least let the consumer know what they’re getting into.”
