Duke of Wellington in Cotswold

Our family arrived for lunch on a Tuesday lunchtime. We ordered drinks and lunch for 5. An hour later it arrived. There was no warning in advance that there would be such a delay and no apology or even acknowledgement afterwards. The pub was not particularly busy. Was it worth the wait? No. When it arrived the food was average at best.

Absolutely loved our time here breakfast was great staff were very helpful and friendly they are a credit to owners Chris and Tina would thoroughly recommend a stay here

Visited my local for Sunday carvery with a party of 9, prebooked and confirmed via email. On arrival no one was aware of our booking, this was once we could convey this to several oblivious staff members. A very apologetic Craig immediately organised us a table. Quickly It came apparently that there was insufficient food left for 3 of us, this was after the rest of the party were already sat eating. Craig again sorted this.....bless him, because the manageress offered no explanation (other than "I didn't write it in the book") or apology. When airing my thoughts she simply walked back into the kitchen. Thanks for that 👍

Loved this darling pub in the Cotswolds- stopped in for lunch and a few beers. The bartender was so friendly and it was fun to chat with some locals. The food was delicious and the beer, too!

The location was perfect with parking. Very reasonably priced with breakfast included.Room was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was the place needed a freshen up .

Not the greatest hotel with small rooms but the location was fantastic , good for a one night stopover but couldn’t stay any longer than that as bed is very uncomfortable , the breakfast was good and staff very helpful and friendly

Was looking forward to traditional English food in a traditional English pub. The choice was limited and my partner and I both chose a Ploughmans. What a disappointment, there was a good slice of delicious ham but then two small triangles of tasteless cheese, salad, pickles and a small piece of dry focaccia . We had to ask for the pork pie that was meant to come with the meal but wished we hadn’t as it was tiny with damp stodgy pastry and a tasteless anaemic looking piece of something inside. What an embarrassment of a meal to serve to patrons who come for English fayre. With all the gorgeous cheeses and delicious pork pies in the UK it is sad to be served such a pitiful excuse for a meal.

Stayed for 1 night, including breakfast . Very old basic accommodation loads of stairs so if you not mobile no good . Outside area more modern and undercover located next to running stream. Small carpark . OK, but thought over priced and breakfast was like a cafe

I am writing this review from the extremely hard, rickety bed of the hotel. The hotel itself has an extremely unpleasant smell, I would go as far as to say they need to replace to carpets. It STINKS. I actually gagged. On entering our room we had to open all windows. The room is tidy but by no means clean. The toilet was filthy before we had even used it, hairs on it and stains (well, I hope stains as I do not intend to investigate to closely!!) The whole place needs a lick of paint, the rooms have paint coming off the walls and woodwork, toothpaste splats up the wall. I’m disgusted. I have never stayed in a place so revolting. I am glad we are only here for one night, in fact I have tried to book into a different hotel in the area for the night with no such luck. My partner claims the shower is powerful. I am not sure I can bring myself to try it. An awful end to our honeymoon, I have never felt so disappointed. I can’t wait to go home!

Popped in for a quick bite to eat today, I had the garlic mushrooms in bread crumbs, they came out quickly and were delicious, what a fabulous traditional pub with friendly staff, a cosy atmosphere and plenty of outside seating. I would recommend a trip to this lovely pub bang in the middle of this beautiful town.

Returned to the Duke after a couple of years and were pleased we had done so. Really enjoyed our stay pub has a good atmosphere and the staff were friendly and helpful. Can't fault the meals we had during our stay in the bar area and highly rated the full English breakfast and service. Will definitely return!

Possible the worst carvery I've ever had, watery veg, flat tasteless Yorkshire puddings, dry overcooked meat. Real disappointment

We visited on 9th June at lunchtime. Most of our party of 6 had the carvery. The plates were extremely small so it was difficult to get what I'd consider an adult portion. You may have been able to get seconds, but as the roast potatoes were actually coldv(not even slightly warm) it was not a consideration. The meat portion was very meager and barely warm. Yorkshire puddings were dried out and cold. Bizarrely the only items that were popping hot were the cabbage and the gravy (the latter being a saving grace to make the meal warm enough to eat!) Also there was no stuffing or other usual accompaniments that you'd expect with a roast. I felt this was poor when offering a carvery!? Shame, as the meal seemed well cooked and tasty. We thought about complaining, but we had hiked for miles and were starving. Plus it was to celebrate our friend's birthday and she had chosen the venue. It seemed inappropriate to make her feel bad for the recommendation. I notified the bar staff that the kitchen needed to be informed ye carvery was not warm. Salt, with this experience, we feel we cannot recommend. With so many other places to eat, wed likely cost another venue next time we return. On a positive note, the staff were all polite and welcoming.

Lovely pub brilliant team Naomi was helpful and knowledgeable on dishes.. Great service and good food Highly recommended well worth a visit

Delicious food with an amazing selection of vegetarian options! Lovely staff. Food took a while to come but expected on a sunny Bank holiday Monday in a tourist hotspot.

We came here for an evening meal whilst on holiday. The pub was clearly short staffed - we heard that the chef was on his own in the kitchen and there only appeared to be two other people serving at the bar. No one spoke to us at any time, to ask if everything was OK or if we needed anything and we had to tell the people on the next table that they had to order at the bar, as they were clearly wanting to order food but neither member of staff had noticed them. We both had fish and chips which seemed OK at the time, but we both woke up feeling extremely queasy during the night and this was the only thing that we had both eaten or drunk that was the same. The pub was too busy for the number of staff working and customer service and food quality had clearly suffered.

Fantastic atmosphere! A locals pub that’s clean, friendly and super duper service. Hubby and I felt like one of the regulars as soon as we stepped in!

Duke of Wellington Bourton-on-the-Water No Values & Lack of Respect 947392210 Thought we’d stop off and enjoy some spring sunshine in the pub’s rear garden. We were going to order food until we saw the unkept kitchen staff smoking outside. But what surprised us most was the Manager (with key chain)putting his hands down his trousers to scratch his bottom then throwing his cigarette butt into the pretty stream that runs along the pub and through the village! This put us right off eating! No respect = no values. Remember, you never know who’s watching!!

Do not stay here. Pictures are incredibly misleading, I have no idea why the reviews are so good. Staff are clueless and unhygienic and all smoke outside door to room stairs so you have no choice but to walk past. Nobody says hello or thanks for staying or anything. Man on bar in evening was nice and friendly so was chef so made it slightly better. Chef was super friendly at breakfast but also cooking with door open and swearing and talking loudly with staff. I felt so uncomfortable after seeing the state of the kitchen I couldn’t eat. Place dark and dindgy and Wi-Fi terrible. Room is really dated and in poor condition. Shower lukewarm and toilet seat plastic, my mum nearly fell off several times, carpet extremely dated and dirty. Glasses dirty, overpriced bar and food. We felt so unsafe in the room and not even a full sized single bed but at least the beds and linen were clean and so was the bathroom.

Great value for money - 2 smaller meals for £15 - fish & chips and coronation chicken jacket potato - both tasty and more than adequate portion sizes - crumble & custard and chocolate brownie - both delicious - bottle of wine - £50 - bargain! Staff great - polite and friendly. Would recommend.

We came here for the Sunday carvery on Mother's Day. We were served by Rachael who was delightful. The Head Chef, Kari, is new and did a brilliant job on a really busy shift. Really good value for money. My only reason for dropping a star is that food was served on cold plates and as we had some of the elements at the end of their serving pots, food wasn't as hot as I would have liked. If this could be fixed it would definitely be 5 stars for me.

Appalling food, the kitchen here really let their team down, they had an A- board outside that said "support your local pub" so we thought they're right you should, rather than go to the Fullers down the road. Well unfortunately they aren't doing much here to support, none of the food was good, but I ordered the sausage and mash, the sausages may well have been baked first, but upon reheating they'd definitely been in the fryer leaving them horribly overcooked, it was all overcooked and greasy and seemed like the fryer oil had not been changed lately, my partner's fish was also not good. The front of house were pleasant, but ultimately in a place that people are predominantly coming in for food, you need to do a lot better than that!

We booked a table at short notice and had a great lunch on a busy Sunday. The menu wasn't limited to just roasts which was great. We all had something different and all adults and kids really enjoyed their meals. The food was fresh and good portions, and very reasonably priced for the cotswolds. I'd recommend and would return again next time we are in the area.

Great pub to watch football but make sure you get there early as it is a very busy pub! Cosy vibes, lovely wine selection and friendly staff

We've eaten here before, so rebooted for today. The place is nive and warm, plenty of staff, with good service. We ordered food, mine was the chicken curry. The food arrived in good time. The curry was nice BUT the chicken in the curry was poor quality. Plenty of chicken but all the bad bits weren't cut off. The curry sauce was stunning . Maybe you should serve fhe curry with 4 to 5 decent size chunks of clean pieces of chicken breast and not offer too much chicken with the grisly bits left on. This could have been a great meal in a good location.. needs attention. Also stop using sachets of cheap brown sauce and pay a few extra pence for HP. toilets were clean but no toilet roll too.

Absolutely disgusting! Never have I ever had a pub food that bad! The food took ages to come and it was very bad! We ordered Pizza, fish & chips and Lasagne are all very very bad. Tastless, small portion and expensive for what you get! Even the chip! The chips! What kind of self-respecting pub gets the chips wrong! And don't get me starting on the "Duke platter" as a starter to share. We got 3 breaded small prawns, 1 chicken tender ( for honesty it was the best tasting food in the entire evening), 3 fried gyoza ( really greasy) a really bad garlic bread( I'm not even sure that was butter!) Wasn't even enough to share! The Lasagne was exactly two sheets with almost no meat in between. Just loads of cheese on top. No flavour at all! No professional staff at all or even a good service. Save your money and calories and don't go there. The worst pub ever!

Lovely family friendly pub. We came on a Sunday for a carvery and was very impressed. Good price, great food and lovely staff. We will be returning.

Amazing food/service Dog friendly environment Helpful and friendly staff Will definitely return highly recommend to anyone exploring the village Well done to Mel Chris, Tina and the rest of the team at the Duke of wellington You’re exceptional

Having rented a holiday cottage in Bourton on the Water for a week with my partner and Jack Rusell dog, we went to the Duke of Wellington most evenings. The staff were really friendly and accomodating, the atmosphere was brilliant, the Guiness was to die for and always poured to perfection. There was a great selection of wines and gin. We ate on three separate occasions, which included the Xmas Special. You were required to pre-book the meal which we did. When we arrived the following evening, we were shown to a little cosy alcove all to ourselves, which had been beautifully decorated. Considering we had a dog in tow this was really not expected and was truly amazing. The food was exceptional, Xmas dinner with all the trimmings, cooked to perfection, fresh produce, plentiful and brought to the table piping hot. On the two other occasions we had the Curry of the Day, Thai Red Curry Rice and Nan which was superb, the wonderful barmaid even reserved the last helping they had for us. We also had the Gourmet Chicken Burger which was gorgeous and the Lasagne, which was clearly homemade and very tasty. We were introduced to the pubs three dogs which where brought down from upstairs, being dog lovers this was a really nice moment. We had a fantastic time in this pub and would throughly recommend The Duke of Wellington.

I would like to say how great this pub is.we booked a table here one month ago and at the time was told this was going to be a busy night due to Christmas parties but that did not faze us. Anyway but when we arrived we were told that our table was not ready and then they were trying set up a table in the front bar which was really busy But on Friday I was told that we would be seated in the restaurant area due to not having a dog. Anyway we spoke to the manageress and she was great she gave us one round of free drinks on the house and sorted us out a great table in the restaurant the food was great all fresh. Ps this was our second year here and not disappointed. See you next year 👍

Great quirky B & B, great evening meal, good choice at breakfast. Staff lovely & friendly, nothing too much for them. Will definitely return again. Well Situated in the village . Good sized room.

Pizza night on Wednesdays. This was a second visit to the pub this week away. Great food and drink. Go for special Pizza not on menu fab. We should have got one, so taking some back to hotel for tomorrow. Sorry no photos wrote this after eating. Crumble is also fab.

Reading previous reviews this is not a hotel, They are a pub with letting rooms so wasn’t expecting the full hotel experience, but they went above and beyond when asked! It’s a local family run business! Prices are adequate for what they provide! Cheapest around bourton, breakfast option has plenty of choices! Had to leave early one morning for business, If you can’t be around at their times of opening for breakfast, they will accommodate when asked to do more! Absolutely amazing from the staff! New menu has just launched from what I’ve heard and it’s amazing to see staff enjoying what they are serving! Been to many places in bourton and local discount is a thing in this area. Refuse to pay more than the guy before because I’m not local! This place is the only fair priced pub in bourton, They treat people equal rather than charging certain people more! Local pub, local prices for non locals also! When we arrived we noticed a bit of clutter, but saw staff moving heavy items and cleaning high and lows, when speaking to them they’ve just closed one of their other sites, meaning they had a lot of equipment to store, which is explains the slight clutter, by the end of our stay, it was all tidied up and everything looked amazing! Clearly previous reviews aren’t accurate or understanding, this is not a HUGE pub chain! The only family run pub in the bourton from what I’ve found so far! Highly recommend!

Great food, service & prices! Wonderful garden as well. We came with family & the sunday roast was delicious. Good beers & happy vibes!

Terrible food and disorganised staff. We arrived for our prebooked table for 7 of us and our 3 dogs for our mum's 70th birthday. We were seated by a member of staff, and my partner went round the side to the bar to order us drinks. He said he heard a member of staff complaining 'theres a table of 7 sat in the restaurant and they have dogs" rolling her eyes in a stroppy tone. She then came round to us saying loudly "no dogs in the restaurant, you need to sit in the bar area for hygiene reasons" I explained we had been sat there my a member of staff and she just said "well you can't sit here so you need to move" and she ushered us to a table round the bar area. We then went to order at the bar, and asked if we needed to order as one so everything arrived together, we were assured it would all come at the same time as they knew we were all together. Two meals came out first, and they were almost finished being eaten by the time the next ones came out. The food quailty was appalling. Bland, dry, and tight portion sizes. I had the veggie burger which was actually gross, the inside was like slime and I couldn't even eat it.. my niece had soup and it tasted like it had been watered down to an inch of its life. Horrible. For such a beautiful, popular location this place must just rely on natural footfall for business and know it doesn't need to up its game. But Boughton has tons of choice and if you are visiting this area I would advise researching and picking somewhere else, especially as British pub grub can be absolutely amazing.

Well where do I start. I had to go to the invisible reception to check in which I was told was around the back. Turn out this is the bar. After looking silly as couldn't find reception, the same person I asked where to check in checked me in. I was there for a total of 4 nights. It was absolutely horrible. Room smells of damp, no housekeeping in sight and didn't see another member of staff after check in throughout my stay. I could not go to reception as there wasn't one and wasn't going to go into a crowded bar to ask about a room. As I was here on business I was out for the day at a reasonable hour (08.00) so the offering of breakfast at 08.30 was pointless, but paid for. Checking out is the most shocking, as with no reception I had to go out the back door which I had to unlock and leave the key on the side, for anyone to wonder in. No security, no housekeeping, no reception, no staff. I have stopped all around the country on business and this is the worst hotel I have stayed in. Will never return.

It's such a shame this is the only pub that shows football. Eat here at your own peril. Its disgusting. What appears to be cheap frozen nasty food cooked to within an inch of its life

Terrible food. The burgers were basically frozen burger van quality. Lukewarm frozen chips. A McDonald's would have been better. Two of our party had sausages and mash, they both said the sausages were tasteless. 2 stars as it was at least cooked and edible, that's the best you can say about it really.

After booking a table for 8 people, 2 weeks in advance, we arrived at 1-45pm for a 2 pm booking. We were shown to the most abysmal table, in a corner, which I swear was a table for 4, with extra seats squeezed in. Anyhow, we went to the bar to order our food, only to be told that only 2 carveries were available, after ordering 8. Well, disappointed wasn’t the word. They said that most other things were available, great if you are a burger fan. We’ll, to try and retrieve something of our outing, we ordered different things for our Bank Holiday Sunday Lunch. These other meals consisted of:— sausage & mash, a sandwich, 3x fish & chips and a Jacket potato. Now, after serving the 2 carveries, the rest of us waited, & waited, & waited. Eventually, 4 of the meals arrived, 2 of the fish & chips, the sandwich, and the sausage and mash, so all concerned eat their meals, commenting on the fresh fish. So when all had eaten and finished their meals, 2 of us were still waiting. By this time it was 2-50pm, so I went to the bar and enquired as to what was happening. I was told that the food was at that moment being prepared. We’ll we sat and waited another 10 minutes, when one of the staff approached us and asked what we had ordered, ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!!!! We yet again told them and they said they would bring it shortly. When it arrived, the fish and chips were DIABOLICAL. A microwaved, burned, frozen fish, a few inedible peas, and a few, and I mean a few hard chips, which they had charged £18 for alone. Alas, complaining went into deaf ears, I informed them that I was going to put a terrible review, only to be replied with a shrug of their shoulders, and a comment “well, it is bank holiday Sunday” So, I asked why they had accepted the booking if they knew there was going to be problems. NO COMMENT. So, save yourselves the hassle, DO NOT GO TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON IN BOURTON ON THE WATER. Possibly one of the dirtiest disgusting eateries I have ever had the misfortune to visit.

We booked here on the 13th & 14th August, we were shown to our table, the bar was full, I think football was on the TV, the dinning area was empty, after a while we were asked if we wanted drinks & when they brought the drinks which took a while we gave our food order, my husband had the sweet & sour pork with prawn crackers & rice, I had the veggie burger, salad & chips, my husband had a taste of his & said it was disgusting, reheated pork, just didn't taste right, he left his, my burger was dry, the bun had 3 salad leaves on it and the burger (definately been frozen) it was so dry, we were so hungry, my husband helped me eat my chips, we went to the bar to cancel tomorrow nights appointment & when the guy behind the bar asked if everything was ok we told him, he said thanks for letting me know, didn't offer us a refund at all, at £15 each for the food was disgusting, wouldn't go in there again, the staff were not very professional either. What a shame.

Booked in advance for family Sunday lunch for 6. A sign on the bar indicating staff shortages didn’t bode well. Showed to our table but after 15 mins and the queue for the one barman was still over 20 deep we decided to leave concluding...

Often when we have stayed locally we start our drinking in here by the river outside. Met some lively people and again this year. Staff are so friendly and even though look overworked they are always happy. Good selection of drinks and not too pricey....

This has to be one of the worse meal experiences I have had in years.. On arrival we must have become ghosts having passed over to the other side, as the two members of staff continued their conversation, seemingly unable to ackowledge our presence at...

Popped in for drinks but will definitely be back for food as the food looked great especially the burgers so will be visiting soon

Came here last Sunday for a roast, asked for one at the bar just to be told you need to pre book one, after it being plastered all over the chalkboard outside without mentioning about booking online, had to settle for nuggets, chips and beans....

Recommended this pub by the campsite & the outside space was lovely and the beer slightly cheaper than the other pubs. Unfortunately the staff were offish and hardly acknowledged our presence. I may be old fashioned but if you work in hospitality you really need...

Lovely outside spot, sat by running water, not the prettiest outlook, but very calming, visted twice during our recent visit.

Myself and my partner stayed here last night 31/5/23. What a lovely experience! The staff are wonderful, all of them. The room was functional, clean and well stocked. The bar was very accommodating considering we were watching Roma V Sevilla and us and another group...

One of our favourite pubs in Bourton. The staff are friendly and there’s lots of different areas to sit in, in particular out the back by the river when it’s sunny. Menu has a lot of variety and the food is delicious, their vegan penag...

Stayed overnight and had breakfast. It’s a lovely building but the room we stayed in wasn’t very clean. Mucky skirting boards and radiators, filthy soft furnishings and carpets not clean. I can deal with chipped paint on skirtings and a place looking a bit tired,...

Pleasant pub with friendly bar staff. Having booked a table a little disappointed that although most of the tables where empty we were given a very small table right in front of the bar. Poor selection on the menu, not a bit like the menu...

Very disappointed with our stay. The room was filthy and had not been cleaned properly. Dust everywhere, cobwebs everywhere. Floor not clean and didn’t look like it had been hoovered. We also found dog treats on the floor.

Recommended by our driver, this restaurant is slightly outside of the main part of town. At lunch, it was busy but not overly crowded. I had a pint and some stew and the wife had fish and chips. Cozy atmosphere, seating is broken up into...

Taking into account the reduced staff due to illness the service given to us was good with an overworked lady being rushed off her feet. Advertised as a ‘CARVERY’ the choice was limited to beef and turkey. No other meat offered. The order was taken...

We had a lovely evening meal here. The beef stew was to die for. My husband had the burger with the blue cheese which he thoroughly enjoyed. This is the 3/4th time we have eaten here and the food has always been good.

Bad start to our stay in the town. We had Sunday carvery booked. At worst, expected a cheapToby but it wasn’t that good ! I had turkey, which was very dried out. My husband had beef wellington. Oh, no, not beef wellington. My bad. He...

Unfortunately we popped in for lunch on the 30th. The burger was bad, dry bun, tasless burger and found it hard to taste the blue chees. My wife had a fish finger sandwich which was frozen fishfingers and frozen chips basically a child’s meal. We...

Just had a lovely visit to the pub , great atmosphere and friendly staff, good food and good service would visit again , set in a picturesque village

Popped in here for a beer and ended up staying all night, ordering food and joining in the Sunday night quiz! Service at the bar was slow but friendly. Food was good, really enjoyed the bacon & blue cheese burger.

We have just returned from spending a night at The Duke Of Wellington Bourton On The Water. Accommodation and Breakfast was wonderful as were the staff. A fun and friendly place. Cleanliness was 100%.

Good pub with a very nice outside area next to a stream. Decent food at probably the most reasonable prices in town , and a selection of real ales.

Having arrived in Bourton on the Water and booked other restaurants changed our minds for Saturday dinner and Sunday lunch, great value lovely staff

Best pub in town in our opinion. If you want to dodge the crowds and have a nice pint either by the river Windrush or inside to watch sports this is your place. Truly a local place not tourist-y and is just a great pub....

Great Pub, Great Entertainment with an outdoor music and BBQ type event. Great Band, Well worth a visit

We booked up front before we left home as we knew eateries would be busy in the evening. Arrived our allotted time, was shown to the dining room and had a table in the corner on a a raised floor. Service was fine and the...

I think great for a drink but the food is appalling. Nachos do not order them please!!! Ingredients are poor and not worth £9.95. I think the menu needs a revamp

Lovely lunch at the Duke of Wellington, the burgers were excellent, really nice tasting meat. So accommodating for our young child, even making his lunch ahead of food service time to fit around his routine, and it was a lovely child’s meal, locally sourced sausages....

Limited staff on duty. Stressed person taking food orders. Food arrived speedily. It was fine. Pub gave the impression of being unloved and struggling to survive

Friendly pub where we managed to get a table for dinner when the village was very busy. Small menu , nicely presented and good range of drinks. Outside seating by the river available as well as indoors.

Visited a few evenings ago with family. Most had the steak and kidney pie - I couldn't decide and asked for recommendation between halloumi burger and veg lasagne. Lady recommended veg lasagne which was excellent - piping hot and tasty. Served with a decent mixed...

We were 2 couples who ate lunch here. My goodness it was pretty bad. The fish was over cooked and the burgers which 3 of us had were over cooked and tasteless. Really disappointing. Average would be a compliment.

Stayed 2 Nights here after visiting the pub the previous year for food and drink. Staff were amazing and got us in the carpark. The rooms were very disappointing. 2 single beds so small for 2 ladies who are not large at all. TV had...

Really wanted to be able to give a good review but I just can’t…way too many issues. Just an overall bad experience. Found a toenail in my room and feces in the toilet when we arrived. Shower sealant was black and mouldy. The bed sheets...

Thank you Ryan - lunch was lovely. The Lime Fish cake with the new potatoes and salad was especially nice 👌 Great friendly service by Hazel and Anya.

I can't say thank you enough! We looked at so many places to eat but we had a dog and most didn't welcome them. This wonderful place does! The food is amazing, communication on wait time was exceptional (the wait was half an hour, which...

We used to visit this pub lots before covid when meeting with family. We returned today and were very disappointed. The burgers were ok - nothing special. The jacket potato was stale and tasted like it had been cooked yesterday. My mum shared this feedback...

Brilliant service and an excellent meal enjoyed today. Would definitely recommend this very friendly pub

If you pre-book you get a quieter table at the back of the pub. Good home cooked pub food and great friendly service.

May 24 Sunday lunch Went for a family meal.Everyone had roast except me.I have been before and had a lovely meal,Things have changed still very busy but standards have dropped.I am not fussy ,ordered a lamburger tastless no garnish chips OK,not fault of restaurant staff...

Looked a nice enough menu on the website but the reality was disappointing. Ordered the trio of sausages at £10.75 and the Duke burger at £13.95. Burger was adequate, but no more. As for the sausages... If you see 'trio' of anything on a menu...

We stayed here for two nights with one night for friends from the USA. The location Is excellent and the rooms are charming. The car park is quite small and tricky to get into and out of but the staff we VERY accommodating and helpful....

Booked a table for the evening for food, really wish I hadn’t! 1. Not a very welcoming atmosphere. 2. TV on right behind us for football, no sound but people sat watching football/us eating, very off putting. 3. Food was awful, very obviously microwaved. 4....

Basic pub food really did the job was all ok prices on the top side but you pay for the location I suppose staff were very nice would I go back maybe

Visited several times for a drink. Friendly pub, good atmosphere. Good beer. Dog-friendly. Food was good value and enjoyable. We tried the sausage and mash and scampi and chips.

Hannah is an absolute Star! Breakfast was lovely. Hot, plentiful and tasty and importantly served on hot plates ! Nothing too much trouble for the lady who served us

Hungry and thirsty and following the crowd we dropped in to the Duke, luckily grabbing a table right away. Perused the meal with relish and gusto expectantly. Served with alacrity and a smile it all augured well for a nice bite. Shock began to rise...

Visited Bouron with friends and had booked the Duke a week in advance for Friday night. When we got there...no record of the booking.. luckily got a table but when I member order curry we were told they had run out of rice! How can.you...

Good atmosphere lovely staff , very friendly and helpful. Large menu choice . Really tasty food . Well worth a visit for drinks and a meal

Popped in on the first of our three night break to Bourton and popped back the other two nights also . Lovely locals pub with a friendly welcoming attitude . We joined in with the sunday quiz night . Nice raised outside terrace by the...

Don't be fooled by the charming aesthetic. An unwelcoming environment with some of the most tasteless food I've ever had the displeasure of consuming. Do not eat here.

Delicious home-made food, excellent ales, beers and ciders! Also fabulous Bailey’s Liqueur Coffee served swiftly by super friendly and polite staff.

We ate here twice while on a short vacation and both times it was really good, but special mention for the Sunday carvery - really great... Nice friendly staff, good ales on tap.

Brilliant as ever. Love this pub, friendly staff (Hannah front of house, Paul and Jim behind the bar and Aidie in the kitchen yesterday). The food was amazing, we had the Sunday carvery, not only was it excellent but excellent value for money. Drinks also...

Carvery was lovely, enjoyed by all, Pictures on here don’t do it justice, we nearly didn’t go because of the photos on here, but glad we did. Staff are lovely too, especially Paul and chef Ellie, so lovely and friendly. We went again midweek for...
