About Us
Report
Gus and Kate run Restaurant 5 North Street with pride. An integral part of Winchcombe's tight-knit community, they provide memorable dining in an uncluttered 26-cover dining room. Gus's dedication to gastronomy was evident from day one. A man with a redoubtable work ethic, he completed his training under Michel Roux Snr at the three-star Waterside Inn, at Bray-on-Thames.
About Gus
Report
Don't be fooled by Gus's low profile. He is a man with a huge talent and a great history. Described by resident Cotswold chef David Everitt-Matthias as 'an unsung hero', Gus cooks straight from his heart. He is not a slave to fashionable food and opts for classic dishes where flavour is king. He was inspired as a boy, taking great delight in his mother's exceptional home-cooked food.
Menus
Report
After blazing a trail at a series of the UK's finest restaurants during an apprenticeship during the 1990s, he created Restaurant 5 North Street. It has remained a perennial favourite for discerning gourmands from across the UK. His menus provide visitors with a taste of The Cotswolds. Impeccable contacts with local, artisan producers ensure that the best ingredients make their way to his kitchen every single day.

His modern British cuisine excites regulars and those from further afield, who are enthralled by precise and innovative cookery.
Our Book
Report
Gus decided to write his own book, Flavour, after working as a chef for more than 20 years. As he says on the pages of that title: I'm an old-school cook; I roast my own scallops in a pan with butter, rather than cooking them in a waterbath. We never do anything just to be fashionable or clever. For me, the most important thing is flavour - it's what I believe good food is all about.
