About
Igloo at 37 Castle Street, Cirencester, is a restaurant owned and run by Oliver and Hannah Matchett. It opens for breakfast and barista coffee, then serves lunch and dinner from a main menu that starts at noon every day, with wine, cocktails and bottomless prosecco.
The owners say they care about fresh ingredients and local suppliers, and that their travels inspire the menu. Breakfast, served until 11.45am (11.30am on Sundays), runs from bacon and eggs to shakshuka and smashed avocado; the main menu has Korean sticky chicken bowls, chicken katsu and bibimbap alongside burgers and grills, with a lighter lunch menu from Monday to Saturday and roasts on Sundays. There is a takeaway service and gift vouchers from £10. The menu marks gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan dishes; speak to the team about allergies before ordering.
Dogs are welcome downstairs, with water and treats, but those tables go first, so book and say you are bringing one. Booking is not essential otherwise. It is on Castle Street, a short walk from the Market Place, and suits a breakfast before the shops, a relaxed dinner or a drink with the dog.
