Local Pubs &
Restaurants

|
|
There are an enormous number
of excellent local pubs and restaurants.
Here are a selection that we particularly like.
|
|
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 Plough, Cold
Aston
Our favourite local
has now re-opened under new ownership (on 26th February 2010.) Hopefully
the new owners will make it "more of the same" but even better under Philip's
continuing management, but further reports are needed before we are safe!
Telephone: +44 (0)1451 821459
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 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: Baked Field Mushrooms and Roast Gloucester
Old Spot Pork Loins are firm favourites. Telephone: +44 (0)1451 830584
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
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. Telephone: +44 (0)1608 658365
Seven Tuns, Chedworth
A crossroads of the Cotswolds: convenient for walkers, cyclists and visitors to
the Roman Villa nearby.
Unpretentious food and fine for ‘just a drink' too and with a very pro-family
feel (Great, unless you are trying to avoid the kids!) Telephone: +44
(0)1285 720242

A little further afield
Churchill, Paxford
No reservations and a chef on her way to celebrity
status make this a favourite,
drawing customers from far and wide. Certainly worth the extra distance if making a trip to Chipping
Campden.
Telephone: +44 (0)1386 594000
The Plough, Ford
Loads
of horsey atmosphere and great food at this traditional 16th Century inn right
next door to Jonjo O'Neil's Jackdaws Castle racing stables in the tiny hamlet of
Ford. Telephone: +44 (0)1386 584215
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 quiet, but substantial village pub near Bourton-on-the-Water.
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
