Local Pubs & Restaurants

The 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

The 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


The 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

The 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

The Sherborne Arms, Aldsworth

Excellent food at this busy family-run village pub now in their 25th year. SatNav is a good plan (GL54 3RB).
No food on Sunday or on Monday evenings.  Telephone +44 (0) 1451 844346

The 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 in 2005 although she found the food portions a little too large for comfort.  The kitchen still produces excellent meals three years later: Roast Gloucester Old Spot Pork Loins are firm favourites.  Telephone: +44 (0)1451 830584

A little further afield

The 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


The Bell, Sapperton
Horses have been seen tied up outside this excellent pub which uses local produce in imaginative ways and where 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
