* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

This “excellent inn” on the northern edge of the Cotswolds (West Midlands Tourism’s Best Pub of the Year 2023) is “exactly what a large village local should be, but so rarely is”. The menu is a bit posh to be described as pub grub and there are alternative options, both for vegans, and for special evenings (for example, game suppers in season).

“Reliable old-school inn”, “in a charming if chilly corner of the Cotswolds”, that “still feels like you’re in the country and not a London trattoria!”. The food may not offer “fireworks”, but it excels for dishes such as “asparagus bang in season with egg and hollandaise”, complemented by “lovely service”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
