A raft of celebrities have flocked to a new Stroud eatery.
The landmark Old Music Centre, which has been restored by revered artist Dan Chadwick and renamed Juliet after his wife, Juliet Chadwick, opened in October 2024.
Mr Chadwick’s bistro has now become a mecca for famous faces from all over the country. Multi-award-winning comedian and writer Dom Joly, who is best known as the star of Trigger Happy TV heaped praise on the establishment and has become a frequent visitor.
