Local Pubs & Restaurants
|
|
|
There is an enormous number of excellent local pubs and restaurants.
Here is a selection that we particularly like, although in no particular order!
|
|
Wheatsheaf,
Northleach
 After
a couple of changes of ownership The Wheatsheaf has now returned triumphantly to
our local recommendations. Reopened by Sam and Georgie Pearman in October 2008,
they have turned this into an excellent "inn with rooms". It has become so
popular, in fact, that reservations are probably necessary. Just two miles from
Yew Tree Cottage. Telephone: +44 (0) 1451 860244
Kingham Plough, Kingham
 The
Kingham Plough burst back in to life in August 2007 with a young chef trained by
Heston Blumenthal who, showing considerable local awareness, cloaks
sophisticated cooking in apparent simplicity in very comfortable surroundings.
Telephone: +44 (0) 1608 658327
Kings Head, Bledington
 A
classic Cotswold pub with a brasserie feel inside and traditional ducks on the
village green outside and significant local competition in the form of the Kingham Plough
(see above) just round the corner. Telephone: +44 (0) 1608 658365
Black Horse, Naunton
 A
thriving local pub with very good food and great service at surprisingly
reasonable prices and with excellent and local Donningon Ale too (but with no
food on Sunday or Monday).
Telephone +44 (0) 1451 850565
Sherborne Arms,
Aldsworth
Excellent food at this busy family-run village pub now in their 25th year.
No food on Sunday or on Monday evenings. Telephone +44 (0) 1451 844346
Fox, Lower Oddington
 A
busy, social pub with great simple food, a solid feel and even its own wine
museum. One of our favourites. Telephone: +44 (0) 1451 870555
Horse & Groom, Upper
Oddington
 The
Telegraph's Paddy Burt liked her stay here way back in 2005 although she found the food
portions a little too large for comfort. The kitchen still produces
excellent meals: Roast Gloucester Old Spot Pork Loins are firm
favourites. Telephone: +44 (0) 1451 830584
Golden Ball, Lower
Swell
Now in new hands with Ed Simpson and a great village inn - in just the right
place!
Telephone: +44 (0) 1451 833886
Fox Inn,
Broadwell
A recent guest 'find', and another pub going under the Fox name, a couple of
miles from Stow-on-the-Wold. An attractive and welcoming traditional pub,
not too "restaurant-y", but with a particularly good selection of vegetarian
alternatives. Telephone: +44 (0) 1451 870909
Inn at Fossebridge
 This
300 year old traditional coaching inn set in a dramatic dip on the Fosse Way was
refurbished in 2007 and is now receiving excellent reports from contented
diners. Telephone: +44 (0) 1285 720721

A little further afield
Plough, Ford
 Loads
of horsey atmosphere and great food at this traditional 16th Century inn next
door to Jackdaws Castle racing stables in the tiny hamlet of Ford. Telephone:
+44 (0) 1386 584215
Bell, Sapperton
Chris Lee is now the chef at this local favourite where horses have been seen
tied up outside across the years. This pub always uses local produce in
imaginative ways and simply-cooked but innovative food will inevitably be their aim. Dogs are welcome too. Telephone: +44 (0)
1285 760298
Fox Inn, Great
Barrington
 A
traditional inn in a pretty sitting by the Windrush, just round the corner from
the Inn for All Seasons. They recently announced that they were creating a 'no
smoking' bar, which may be a Gloucestershire first. Telephone: +44 (0) 1451
844385
Lamb Inn, Great Rissington
 A
popular village pub near Bourton-on-the-Water currently celebrating 10 years
with Paul Gabriel. Hearty pub menu and local ales. Telephone: +44 (0) 1451
820388
New Inn, Coln St Aldwyns
 Fishing
and drinking are as central to the New Inn as their excellent food. A (slightly
unsteady) riverside walk to Bibury is a traditional undertaking here after a
fine evening's consumption.
Telephone: +44 (0) 1285 750651
