Cosy Cotswold Pubs and Tearooms Loved by Locals

No stay in the Cotswolds would be complete without lingering in a welcoming pub or tearoom. While there are many wonderful choices, a few stand out for their warmth, character, and consistently delicious food.

Traditional village pubs offer crackling fires in cooler months and sunny gardens in summer. Many serve hearty classics alongside thoughtful seasonal dishes, often made with ingredients from nearby farms.

Tearooms provide a gentler pause in the day—perfect for freshly baked scones, homemade cakes, and an unhurried pot of tea. Some are tucked inside historic buildings, adding to their charm.

What makes these places special isn’t only the food, but the atmosphere. Conversations drift easily, dogs snooze under tables, and visitors quickly feel like regulars.

We’re always happy to recommend a spot based on whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a walker‑friendly lunch, or simply the best slice of cake locally.
