Cirencester Restaurants

Restaurant at The Bathurst Arms

The Cotswolds, as we all know, are full of gems of one sort or another, particularly when it comes to what used to be termed 'hostelries'.

Restaurant at The New Inn At Coln, The

This ancient inn has a long history of lifting the hearts of travellers and visitors with the excellence of its victuals and warmth of its welcome. It is, of course, for debate as to whether or not the Cotswolds produces more congenial hotels and pubs with restaurants than anywhere else in Britain but I know where my money would go.

Tunnel House Inn, The

Set in deep Gloucestershire countryside at the end of a leafy lane alongside the Thames and Severn Canal, the Tunnel is a paradise for those who like their eating, drinking and socialising to be done in traditional surroundings amidst people with whom one feels instant rapport, the country sporting set with more than a smattering of students from the nearby Royal Agricultural College.

Village Pub, The

Though this still looks like an old-fashioned pub, in reality it is more a rather upmarket restaurant, though orders have to be placed at the bar, and then the food is brought to the table. Their talented chef, Graham Grafton has won national recognition and many accolades during the last four years at The Village Pub.

Wild Duck Inn

As Michael Caine might have said, not many people have heard of Ewen, which is all part of its undeniable charm, tucked away in a quiet Cotswold village. The pub's history can be traced back to 1563 and once ensconced in the Post Horn Bar you may well feel that not a great deal has changed.
