Seagrave Arms in Cotswold

We've stayed at the Seagrave a few times, though this was the first for a few years. The room was stunning, a little occasional road noise but that's to be expected in a busy little village on a Saturday night! Dinner was brilliant, as was breakfast. The staff we spoke to were all friendly and helpful. We'll be back!

Lovely place, friendly staff and excellent food in their restaurant. Will book again

We were taken there for Easter lunch, while visiting relatives, must say the staff are very friendly and the food was just perfect would advise anyone planning to visit please go and try the excellent food and choice of wine. Book early.

We didn't stay, but had a fantastic night and a lovely meal. This is a great restaurant and completely recommended.

Llamado para almorzar en un día de la semana. Muy tranquilo, solo otra pareja comiendo. El menú era muy limitado y nos decepcionó no encontrar cerveza real a la venta. Se conformó con una cerveza de barril y se tambaleó para descubrir más tarde que eran las 5. 90 una pinta. La comida y el servicio fue bueno pero la experiencia en general fue decepcionante.

Fui a este pub con mi esposo y mi hija de 11 meses después de haber buscado en Google y lo vi recomendado, y también de que había un menú para niños en línea. Al llegar al pub, nos dijeron que no había un menú para niños, pero que podíamos pedir una versión pequeña de algo en el menú. Pedimos un sándwich de queso para nuestro bebé, sándwich de brie y tocino para mi esposo y pastel de pollo y champiñones para mí. El pastel de pollo y champiñones llegó con una capa de aceite de 3 cm en la parte superior y una masa empapada que se había hundido hasta el fondo. Por lo general, no me quejo, pero el pastel no era comestible, así que tratamos de encontrar a la camarera que nos lo devolvía. Finalmente logramos llamar su atención (solo la camarera de servicio) después de 10-15 minutos (cuando había regresado de un descanso para fumar) y después de mostrarle la comida servida, acordó que tampoco querría comer el pastel, y ofreció para sacarlo de la cuenta. Luego pregunté si podía conseguir el mismo sándwich que mi esposo en el intento de pedir el almuerzo, que parecía comestible; sin embargo, los sándwiches estaban hechos de pan barato con tocino extremadamente salado. El queso en el sándwich de mi bebé era duro, rancio, y no esperaría que un ser humano de cualquier edad comiera queso así. Este nivel de servicio pareció trascender a la otra pareja de clientes descontentos que compartieron su consternación sobre el servicio y el estándar del instituto con nosotros. Algo debe haber cambiado en los últimos meses desde las últimas buenas críticas aquí y desde el artículo de Telegraph que lo recomendó. Evitar como la peste. . . o hasta que la nueva gerencia haya resuelto esto.

Popped in for lunch, however no vegetarian food available on menu. Had to get back in the car and find somewhere else for lunch!

No he regresado en mucho tiempo, ya que no estaba seguro si valía la pena volver, pero escuché que había un nuevo gerente y decidí darle una oportunidad. El servicio estaba bien, pero la comida había mejorado mucho, siempre tenía el bistec y fue genial Espero que continúe mejorando ya que le encantaría darle a este lugar 5 estrellas nuevamente.

Reservamos una mesa para cuatro. Zona de bar muy pequeña: la sopa venía en pequeñas jarras tibias, sin oferta de pan. Tres tenían la mejilla de res que era sabrosa pero porciones pequeñas sin verduras, mi marido tenía el cordero que teníamos que enviar como muy grasoso - en general muy decepcionante y muy caro para lo que teníamos - no volveremos

Poco preocupado por algunas de las críticas, pero pensamos que le daríamos una oportunidad. Dos de nosotros teníamos el pescado y las papas fritas con guisantes picados y triples y uno tenía la mejilla de buey. Todos estábamos muy contentos con la calidad de la comida, todos lavados con varios vasos de Hobgoblin. El postre también fue muy bueno con algunas combinaciones inusuales. Me alegro de poder volver a poner este lugar en nuestra lista.

My husband and I returned to the Seagrave Arms recently on our way home to London from up North. We wanted to stay at this lovely little Inn again as we remembered it being lovely with great food, great service and very clean and smart.Unfortunately since it has been taken over with a New Management Group (unbeknown to us) we were very disappointed at how this once little gem has suffered with a new owner.The food was awful, Mushroom soup was lumpy lacked any taste, the bread had been warmed up in microwave (menu claiming to be all homemade!) the dining room lacked atmosphere, the glasses on the table were dirty, had to ask the waitress if she would lite our table candle - doing so she then decided to lite the candles on the other tables even though nobody was sitting at them! Our fish & chips (Haddock with soft mushy batter) and (award winning chips) were frozen potato wedges piled underneath the fish! The tartar sauce was smeared across the plate served with a spoonful of frozen packet peas! There wasn't even a lemon wedge on the plate or the offer of vinegar! The area outside our room was shabby with cupboard doors hanging off, a stepladder, an ironing board and a floor mop along with heaps of bedlinen were all leaned up against the wall outside our room! The carpet was dirty and threadbare - some even with holes! Thank goodness the bed was comfortable and the bedlinen and bathroom towels were spotless. As for the rest of the room, it all looked very unkempt and tired looking. The breakfast the following morning was ok. Needless to say we will not be returning, its a great shame as The Seagrave Arms was once a delightful place to eat and stay at.

Mi marido y yo fuimos para una comida de aniversario. No hay área de recepción, así que entramos en el bar muy estrecho y esperamos. ¿Finalmente fuimos recibidos? 'por el camarero que, lo siento, parecía desaliñado. Nos llevaron a nuestra mesa en otra habitación. Solo estábamos nosotros y otro comensal en esa habitación. La habitación solo carecía de ambiente y no era la falta de invitados. La comida fue excelente pero decidimos tomar un café en casa. Nos sentimos decepcionados, ya que habíamos estado esperando una agradable velada para celebrar. Lo sentimos pero no vamos a volver. (Es gracioso, pero todas las mesas tenían velas y la nuestra salió primero. ¿Eso fue una señal?)

Thought we would give the new management a go. Can’t say it was awful but lacked professionalism. It all seemed a little strained. No candle lit at the table although it was there on a saucer! Claimed award winning chips but that wasn’t them it was before they arrived. No wow factor but such a nice building they could make it so much better. Fairy lights hanging across pictures but it was like they had been thrown not placed just needs a little effort and it could be thriving

With my Wife and Daughter had Dinner there last Wednesday and although the Food was very good, the atmosphere and the Service was just about OK! Was also, very disappointed in the limited choice and poor quality of their Wine List.

Had been looking forward to going here for a meal but was sadly disappointed. There appears to be a couple of areas to eat in. We were sat in an area that was very dark and we had trouble seeing the menu. I went to the toilet which you had to squeeze past a table of diners to get to. They were clean toilets.

called for a meal on our way home. food was ok but room was dark and needed a good clean.when the bill arrived it had a 10% service charge added , as it was also on the drinks we complained and the 10% was deducted.we found out that the manager had just taken over, best of luck.

We had a lovely dinner here with our grown kids and our 8 mos old grandson. The food was excellent and the owner could not have been nicer with our little guy. Highly recommend it! Great artwork on the walls, too.

The staff were friendly and the place was clean and tidy. However, I was a bit disappointed by the poor selection of vegetarian options available on the menu. Portions seemed a little small, but the food was well presented and tasted good. The bar is small and other than a decent gin stock didn't seem to have a great selection to choose from. Overall we had a pleasant evening with carefully prepared and presented food.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here last weekend and cannot fault the food or the service. The surprise was how small the dining rooms are - we were expecting a bigger establishment from the website photos. Looking forward to a cosy meal in the winter.

We were a group of 15 celebrating an important birthday. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Food was lovely. They were great with very excited children, and dogs (who kept lying down in the most awkward of places!). We had a fantastic evening and highly recommend this place.

We had dinner here, as we were staying around the corner. The pub and menu looked lovely on trip advisor. We had a monk fish tail starter at £8 which included a 1” battered monkfish and a full king prawn. The monkfish was nice, but disappointed it was only 1 x 1” piece. Would have expected a little more.

I popped in here for a bit of lunch recently. Flippin' 'eck, £7 for a sarnie. I staggered out in shock, I don't know what else to say really

This is the first time I’ve felt the need to do this, but after my lunch today I feel it has to be done.

.... only to find the staff appeared disinterested and unwelcoming (and it was not busy). It gave the place a strange vibe. We could not bring ourselves to return for dinner during our stay in the village. The "other" village venue suited us much better!

We popped into the Seagraves for a bite to eat after our dog walk. We always receive excellent service, the food is incredible (especially the triple cooked chips) and the atmosphere is always smart yet laid back. Bonnie was particularly good this evening and our dog Molly is always very well catered for. Our favourite drinking and eating spot in the Cotswolds by far.

Service was shocking from the moment we entered, disinterested youths working the bar and restaurant, I use the term working very loosely as they seemed to spend most of there time on their phones or popping off for cigarette breaks. One slightly older lady who was possibly the manager was acting in the same manner, when she wasn’t stood behind the bar drinking.

This is one of our local resturants which today we decided to try. There were only 5 other diners when we arrived. The sunday main course varied between £12 & £18 each. My husband decided on beef (he said was very tasty)at £17, I had the chicken (which was very dry). We had to wait an hour from ordering to it arriving. We asked for the dessert menu. All priced at £7 or cheese at £8. My husband ordered the banoffee pie and I the chocolate mousse. The former arrived as a water glass with broken digestive biscuits covered with banana instant whip with dried banana on the top. Later described as banana paerfait. The chocolate mousse was about a tablespoon size amount in a very small chocolate dish with 1 and a half strawberries and 4 blueberries. My husband had 2 pints of shandy. The bill came to £61.49. On closer reading the shandies cost near £10. In addition to this they put a £5.59 service charge!!! We I went back we were refunded the service charge and an extra £1.20 for something we never had. Please avoid this place.

We were staying at Manor Farm around the corner and visited Seagrave Arms for dinner. Nice tasty meals, good service! Friendly and nice staff!

Nice bar friendly service, room is excellent and the food matched the description on the menu. Well presented and very tasty as well as being good value. Smoked salmon was excellently presented and had a good balance of flavours. Ham and chips were both home cooked. Orchard pig Cider was a bonus!

Been coming here for years every month but a change in management has seen this place become a substandard restaurant, so many issues starting with a lack of warmth upon entering, dirty glasses, no steak knife on table, ordered greens which was just kale and butter, chips cut into huge wedges, no finesse to food, might as well go to a steak grill, manager only appeared at the end of the meal despite an issue with one of the courses. Last manager was excellent so such a shame to see this place decline so rapidly, will not be returning.

We went to the Seagrave arms for Sunday lunch. We found the staff friendly, helpful and looked after us well. The food is of a good quality, however, slightly overpriced for what you get. Overall - a good place to eat.

We are just back from two nights staying at this lovely Epicurean Group property (See separate review for accommodation ) and we ate in the restaurant both nights.

I visited here with my family for a early dinner. The staff were very welcoming and helpful when offering suggested dishes. We had the burns night special which was mushroom and goats cheese wellington which was delicious and a pudding which was creme Brûlée and rice pudding both were delicious. I will be back in March for a nights stay this time! Thanks again!

For a small hotel in the middle of a village I couldn't describe the food and staff in any other way than excellent. Interesting small menu - there are limits to what can be put on menu - but everything was good - and one of the meals (we had a few) was the best steak I've had in a long time. We stayed and have a separate review for the hotel.

We were guests in the hotel for two nights and were lucky enough to eat in the restaurant on the final night. The food was excellent from start to finish, with the flat iron steak in particular being a dream and the chips the best one can find. The staff were attentive and friendly, making the night a real pleasure.

I like this place, its friendly and has a lovely atmosphere, however the standard of food varies so much. I have eaten here over a dozen times, and they have a tendency to really under cook things, so choose carefully what you pick from the menu as it could well be cooked far less than you want or expect. Ok ish..if its a steak, but not so good with other meats. If it wasn't for this I would rate The Seagrave Arms much higher, as its a lovely place and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

What a shame to spoil such a lovely hotel by serving a non-descript lunch on Christmas day

My family and I go to this restaurant frequently and the food is without doubt always beautifully prepared, tastes delicious and service is always good too.

We went to the Seagrave Arms for a family lunch on Sunday 19th November. The pub had a lovely feel to it with log fire lit which gave a cosy feel. The staff were extremely friendly Dan the bar man was so nice extremely professional and attentive to all our needs. The Sunday lunch was exceptional the best we have had at a pub for a long time. All 3 courses were amazing and the desert was out of this world chocolate ganache mousse with homemade orange ice cream. We asked to see the chef to thank him. A lovely young lad called Steve came out who I think was the sous chef he was again so friendly attentive and very professional. Thanks to the whole team Ian the head chef who I believe is responsible for all these super creations, Millie stand in manager, Dan and Steve. This is the Cotswolds best kept secret I highly recommend this pub as a must visit.

We booked for dinner here during our stay nearby as it was recommended as one of Broadway’s pubs (despite being in Chipping Campden). We ate on a Monday evening so you’d expect it to be quiet but it was nearly empty except for one other table. The service was excellent and I️ can’t fault the food at all, it was absolutely stunning. We had the cod and the pigeon as mains washed down with a lovely bottle of Malbec.

Came here on recommendation and wasn't dissapointed. MIlly was very friendly and showed us round as my friend has a party scheduled for January. Nice rooms , friendly atmosphere and food was super. Give it a go when you're in the area.

We only went to eat - so did not stay. The day we went we were the only couple in the restaurant so difficult to comment on atmosphere.

Stopped here for a quick lunch and I found this to be a very pleasant country pub.

We visited for dinner and walked to the location and from initial impressions it looked great.The decor is lovely however having the TV on ruined the atmosphere you were trying to create with 'Big Bang Theory' on - perhaps try some music.Before booking a table we looked at their website and liked what we saw and noted that Mondays was 'Pie Night' - perfect.In the bar area allows dogs which is small and the table given was mismatched with the chairs - this meant our legs couldn't comfortably get under the table.Upon looking at the provided menus we quickly realised we both had different menus and upon confirming the correct one I was also informed that Pie Night was no longer being done and the website was a month out of date.The barman was very kind and brought Biscuits for our dog and when the food came it looked amazing. Shame it wasn't very warm.There is a 10% service charge automatically added to your bill - please remove this and allow customers to add their own.

We visited The Seagrave Arms as a party of 4 for a meal to celebrate my eldest sons' 23rd birthday on a Sunday evening. Last orders for food are at 7pm so we booked for 6pm. It had been a beautiful day and we were looking forward to tucking in to a good meal after a long walk. I'd picked the pub from my 2015 Good Food Guide ap (it is no longer in GFG which we were not surprised to hear). We were shown to a table in a back room, which I think would have been cosy in winter with the fire glowing but was a bit soulless and quite dark. Later diners were shown to tables in the lighter front room of the pub leaving us as the only diners in our room. This pub had top end gastropub prices but the food fell quite short of what you might expect for the price. We were brought bread at the start and told it was freshly baked. Although two of the pieces were OK two of us had pieces that were raw in the middle. When we pointed this out to the waitress she wasn't at all apologetic and said that they'd been serving it all day and no-one else had had a problem! I squeezed my bread between my fingers and it returned to a ball of dough but even on seeing that she seemed reluctant to change it. The bread had also been made using little or no salt so even the two cooked bits (presumably from the end of the loaf) were tasteless. Thankfully our replacements were better. Two of our party had the steak and chips and were impressed, especially with the chips, but still felt the price was high for what they were served (£22). I had salmon that came with a tarragon sauce. However said sauce was chopped raw white onions in vinegar with tarragon - it was not a cooked sauce. As fish goes, salmon is quite robust, but this just wasn't right. Again this meal was over £20 and was just a slab of salmon, some (tasty) potatoes and the strange sauce (which I decided not to continue with after tasting). My son also had fish and thought it had been seriously over seasoned and the crust was very salty. By this stage we had a serious lack of confidence in the food and decided to give the puds a miss. Maybe they'll be good - we will never know! However the main courses hadn't been that filling so we decided to try one of the cheese plates between us. The cheese selection was really good, although I'm not sure why they warmed the biscuits up as they went a bit soggy. So all in all some things were good, but some weren't, and at that price point I'd expect a lot more. The meal cost well over £100 and we didn't have a bottle of wine or coffee etc. We've eaten at some fantastic places recently and this one was a bit of a disappointment. If you do decide to go there for a meal avoid Sunday evening and go for the steak and chips then you might come away with a more positive view than we had.

We called in today hoping to have a good light lunch. First signs were not good as we were the only customers there at 1.00. The chap behind the bar obviously didn't need our custom, there was no welcome no explanation of the food and we were given a small piece of paper which had six items on it, three of which were sandwiches. We left, no words were spoken.

Stopped here for dinner and we're lucky enough for it to be warm enough to sit in the garden. Started with the rabbit pie and pea and ham risotto which were both great, especially the pie. Followed with sea bass with butter bean cassoulet and ham, duck egg and chips. Again, both really good. Mains from £14 upwards. Service friendly and just the right pace. Nice choice of wines reasonably priced. Would definitely return.

Enjoyed a very pleasant meal, more the "nouvelle Cuisine" than "hearty pub grub" but very good. A little more expensive than we had expected.

Service charge was added to already very overpriced drinks and bar meals (for what you get) without any notification or option given whatsoever. Only noticed on receipt when got home. Daylight robbery. I don't mind paying a tip for good service but the overpriced drinks and small portioned bar meals should have quite easily covered a service charge without slyly adding it into the bill.

Website of this place advertises a set menu, so we booked as staying there and no where close byWe were shown the Al a carte menu, we asked about the Set menu but were told not doing this. Bit of a swizz really as they have captive audiencewe did get shown the bar menu , Food was ok

We were so excited about coming back after having such a great meal last summer...having recently moved near by was hopeful this could become a regular..it felt like a completely different restaurant so don't know if it's had a change of ownership. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. The high prices are not justified given the lack of chefferie in the cooking. I had Salmon, which given it was £20 was a tiny unseasoned poached piece of salmon with a small fondant style potato and a cold salsa..my husband had pork which was tasty, however the cassoulet it came with seriously lacked any seasoning.. veg was extra and clearly forgotten as we had to chase it and it was undercooked and poorly presented. The service was pretty awful and very slow, we had to chase to order wine, we saw a number of tables having to chase to order, or chase drinks they had ordered a while beforehand. Also the table next to us had the wrong meal. Clearly some better organisation and customer service is in need. I don't think the waiting staff really cared, maybe they thought everyone was a tourist so it didn't matter. I was also horrified to overhear a foreign guest questioning his salmon to ask if it was cooked, to be told it was supposed to be like that. It was raw and given I had had the same dish, cooked through, one of us clearly had an incorrectly cooked dish. So disappointing we sadly won't be back.

Now I'm torn here ... I eat out A LOT... and try loads of places .. this place was actually great for food.. lovely flavours.. BUT that's where it stopped. Service poor and yet they charged 10% without asking .. pub had no ambiance at all .. no music I'm back ground to make up for the complete quietness .. place still being cleaned when we arrived.. lady to busy to speak to us as she was bottling up .. my food was really tasty my partners came served on a wooden board ( why oh why do they continue to do this) its unhygienic and not practical .. when we requested a plate (yes a normal plate) she was quite rude and shouted loudly ... "they want a plate" when the plate come the waitress stood over whilst he transferred food over.. then when she came to check on how the meal went she responded "did the plate make a difference??" Rude. Would I go back .. honestly no but it's a shame as the chef has potential Why put a service charge on a meal when I have received NO SERVICE? we were happy to tip as we always do!

This is not pub food as many places move away from traditional pub grub, but if you're looking for that in between fodder, then this is a great spot. Fish n chip batter was amazingly light and fish fresh and perfectly cooked. Deserts were awesome, particularly the chocolate pave with tasty espresso cream. But if you want espresso perhaps get your shot through this as the coffee espresso isn't really an espresso! All in all, well worth a Sunday lunch with a decent draft ale.

We stopped here for lunch and were very impressed, would definitely recommend the pulled pork and fennel coleslaw sandwich and the smoked salmon, very reasonably priced!

My husband and I had lunch on Sunday. The menu and the plate contents did not tally. A table of four next to us were charged more for chips with fish. As this is a bit of a classic why do chips cost more and why is it usually served with fries? The meals were pleasant but not as good as previous visits. I hope this was unusual and that normal service will be resumed.

Nice staff and a great ambiance. The food is not low priced but it high quality. Nice risotto and desserts.

Lovely surroundings, good food, experience soured slightly as there is a 10% service charge on your final bill. This is detailed on the menu, however not normal for a British menu, possibly catering for foreign tourists. Would not visit again.

We were walking from Broadway to Chipping Campden, had seen a good review of this pub so decided a detour was in order. We were happy we did, the sandwiches were fantastic, and chips magnificent. The beer was fine too. Service good, but we were the only people there, so got all the attention. Well worth the (high) price, as well as the walk down and back up again to Dover's Hill.

My wife and I ate there for dinner. We had a friendly welcome and were quickly seated.We both ordered dishes with risotto, which was clearly cooked to order as the food took quite a while to arrive. Both dishes were delicious. We also had string beans and seafood broth, again both excellent, although the seafood broth could have been a bit more generous in its portions. If I were just rating the food, the Seagrave Arms would get a four, possibly a five, although it was on the expensive side.But the service left something to be desired. One waiter was friendly and helpful but harried. The other was friendly but hapless. We asked for tap water, had to ask for it a second time, and had to wait almost fifteen minutes before it arrived.There were only two cask beers on tap and one of them had run out, The remaining beer was stale, flat and smelled of mushrooms. I should have returned the pint but it was the end of a long day and I drank the beer for its alcohol, not for the pleasure of the taste.My wife had a gin and tonic but had a hard time finding the gin.

The service was friendly and the surrounding pleasant however we felt it was overpriced seeing that the food did not deliver. My steak was tough, the purée tasteless and the lemon tart cream tasted strongly of blue cheese? My wife's pork belly was very fatty even for pork bellow and her carrots tasted of pure salt. We are new locals and will not be going again. We were one of only two couples, the third young couple leaving after reading the prices. Dormy House charges the same just up the road and are in another league. Sorry. A fillet steak and better seasoning and fresh cream would be a good start.

Went there for a meal with my partner and it was outstanding. The service was excellant from Fergus and his staff. Wont hesitate to go back and try something else from the menu. A lovely pub in the cotswolds

After a couple of disappointing meals elsewhere in the Cotswolds and some unsuccessful attempts at booking a late notice Sunday lunch, we were fortunate enough to end up at The Seagrams Arms, where we enjoyed some quality dishes.We opted against the Sunday roast options, which looked great, at the next table, and went for the delicious pigeon and trout mains and couldn't resist their famous chips, which were pretty good! Our salmon pate starters were also excellent as was the exquisite lemon tart.There is also a wide ranging wine list with several good 'by the glass' options available too.Definitely worth the short drive from Broadway or further!

We had lunch here and will definitely be back - if you are looking for a gastro pub in the Cotswolds this ticks all boxes. It was fairly quiet but we were slightly later than a standard lunch sitting. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. Great menu, all food was excellent and we could completely understand why the chips have won an award! The garden is nice on a sunny day too.

This was the second time we have visited this establishment since it'srefurbishment which is now under new management. We settled for the lunch of the day of fish pie which I would describe as a upside down one mash being on the bottom and the fish on top. The meal was cooked very well and good value, the service friendly and well worth the visit.

We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Seagrave Arms. We were made to feel very welcome. The service was excellent and very friendly. The menu was excellent as was the quality of the food. The price was good value for money.

It's been awhile since we last went here and it is now under new management. Fergus was not there last night and so we did not meet him which was a shame as we had a good relationship with the previous managers. It was a little disconcerting to be welcomed with the limitations on the menu - we had a 7.30pm Saturday night booking and I would not expect dishes to be running out at that point. However, we were 6 people and all ordered different dishes and all were very good. The Seagrave Arms has the reputation for having the best (in the world) chips and I can confirm that the chips are AMAZING!!! My main course was guinea fowl and I was very impressed that Ian, the chef, responded to my not liking the accompanying mustard sauce by replacing it with chestnut sauce and a lovely jus - delicious. I am continuing to recommend this restaurant.

We had a very warm welcome, the bar was great and the room was superb. Breakfast was excellent . . . it's hard to fault the place. The staff make it . . . very special.

Sunday evening isn't a busy time for dinner, so the place was quiet (which suited us very well). Friendly welcome from a cheery woman. They'd been busy at lunchtime, so all the specials were sold out, but that's the risk you take on a Sunday. The starters were both excellent, especially the cauliflower soup with blue cheese toastie. We both had the tri tip steak, which was a tad disappointing: although the flavour was good, the meat was chewy. The famous chips lived up to their reputation - completely excellent. No room for pudding, though there were some tempting choices.

On Arrival at the Seagrave Arms for our evening Meal on the evening of Monday the 20th Of February at 18.30 my husband and I were greeted by a lovely young lady who's smile lit up the room, she showed us to our table and proceeded for the rest of the evening to be very informative if we asked questions about not only our meal,but the selection of drinks available, her managers should be very proud to have a member of there team that is so very passionate about there job and I hope they hold on to her as someone like that can be a huge asset to any business.although the meal we had was very enjoyable it was very over priced and very small portions. in the bar area although very cosy there was only 3 small tables and chairs so an idea would be to take the large eating table out and possibly put another couple of small tables and chairs, we would eat at the Seagrave Arms again as the ambience is lovely,but being the only pub in the village that is open 7 days it would be worth lowering the prices and more choices to attract not only the tourists,but the locals. all the staff were professional and friendly,

We were due to meet up with friends for lunch and both been to the Seagrave seperately on different occasions so thought it might be a good place to meetWe arrived at 1pm to find it near empty and on previous occasions burrsting at the seams... then we found out why as the meal went on as it was very average and hugely dissapointing and no comparison to previous visits.The hostess was loud and brash and delivered drinks by spilling them on our friendStarters I enjoyed, beetroot risotto, but the ladies found the cauliflower soup so thick it was inedible. It looked almost set and you could write your name in it.I enjoyed my main course but my wife didnt enjoy her beef finding it tough, strange flavoured yorkshire pudding and undercooked turnipsDessert arrived and again the apple a pear crumble with just fruit and granola thrown on top, the custard was milk with icing sugar and fridge cold, we asked why, and the manager said it should be hot and she saw it being poured !!! She then touched it realised it was stone cold removed it, microwaved it and returned and walked off.The restaurant was almost empty when we left and they took off the cauliflower soup and desserts as a gesture. We didnt want that, we just wanted a nice lunch.Overall dissapointing, and think we will find somewhere for sunday lunch in the future.A real shame. The upside ... we met our friends who we never get to see after a year, we wont leave it so long next time.

Came here as a surprise treat on Valentine's Day and was not disappointed!Food was lovely and the atmosphere was just right. Can't thank the team enough that night they were excellent and convinced me that I should be going here more often! Thank you

Been going to Cotswolds on regular basis for last 6 years and this place has got to be one of the best places we've stopped from check in to check out it was perfect. Bed was the comfiest ever ! Food was top notch and service from all the staff was brilliant. Will be back

We love this pub ! We've been visiting regularly for the last 2 years and it has never failed to please . The menu is superb and the food excellent . We are always made very welcome and love coming here .

My visit was on a freezing cold day, you know the sort. Blue skies, icy roads. Sunshine and bitter cold. We'd wrapped up warm. Scarves, gloves and hats. Yes that cold. So when arriving at the pub for lunch, having booked online requesting a table near the fire, we were surprised and annoyed to be shown into the empty cold restaurant without any explanation. The fire in the hearth hadn't been lit for a while. Instead two candles sat in the hearth. Even they were not lit. If a pub can't get the basics right there's a serious problem. Service was so slow. The order was taken by the manager. He said the previous manager had left 5 days before Xmas. He came. Ack and served bread and butter. The quenelle of butter, which was served straight from the freezer was rancid. The manager returned to advise that the pie was' off'. He explained- The chef had taken it out of the fridge to serve but the manager had decided it was off and overruled him stating 'it was too risky to serve'. I would not recommend this pub anytime soon.

Some people talk about their mums homemade cooking when they think back about great food, I can't do that as my mum was a rubbish cook.....great mum, rubbish, rubbish in the kitchen.Now I think this meal struck a cord, as..... perfect fish (halibut), hazel nut compote (I love nuts), grilled artichoke, Lentil dall, great chips and a little bit of overlooked pork belly.It was all there.Lovely surroundings, nice smiley people and comfy rooms.Get yourself down there.

Very nice country pub.Very cosy inside with nice fireplaces.The food was really good as well. Definitely would go back.

The bartender at te Seagrave Arms was so friendly and helpful! We enjoyed delicious drinks outside on the patio and would like to come back for a meal or to stay!

From the outside this pub is a pretty Cotswold inn. As you walk inside you are greeted with traditional fixtures and fittings, open fires and cosy rooms. The staff are very present too. Unfortunately this is where my positivity ends, the food was over priced which given the surrounding I could overlook however when your plates arrive you have that sinking feeling of being hugely underwhelmed! Small portions, over cooked and bland. Over to you to give it s go?!

4 of us had a meal recently in this lovely setting. Unfortunately the meal was disappointing. The flat iron steak was not as tender as anticipated and the fish portions were less than expected. My crumble when served was cold in the centre and had to be sent back. The replacement was good but I had to eat alone as my companions had already finished this course. The meal overall was expensive for the satisfaction we had as an experience.

We went for a late Sunday family lunch- a whole room in the pub to ourselves, the kids were running around and no one bet an eyelid. The food was to die for, one of the best pub meals we had in a long time. Staff was lovely and the food came out quickly. After a 90 minute walk the drinks went down a treat- what more could you want?

The Seagrave Arms is a beautiful cotswold building with a wonderful welcoming feeling,Me and my partner ate at this wonderful restaurant on tuesday evening, we both chose the delicious Ham egg and fries which was very flavoursome and well presented, but sadly the noise from the kitchen was very disruptive and at times very of putting but other than that we had a wonderful evening and hope to dine at the seagrave arms again.

Uitstekende prijs/kwaliteit verhouding, zeer vriendelijke bediening. Gezellig interieur. Voor een menu van 3 gangen betaalden we slechts 20 ponden. Een aanrader!

We had booked a night at the Seagrave Arms and decided to eat in the restaurant as part of our stay. I had looked at their menu before we arrived and I was really looking forward to the food and was not disappointed. I was the only one who had a starter, which was the smoked salmon. Whilst I had that, the waitress had also brought out some poppy seed bread which had been freshly baked that day, It was delicious, it was the right combination of spongy, with a light crust, we asked for another serving it was so good! Then the mains, everything was beautifully presented 2 of us had the steak, my husband had the John Dory and our friend had the wood pigeon. Their award winning triple cooked chips did not disappoint lovely and crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, steak was cooked to perfection. I had the Bakewell for dessert, which looked a little burnt on the edge but still tasted good. We had a very relaxed evening and enjoyed the food, and the service was good.

3 strikes and you’re outWe've just moved into the area very close to the Seagrave Arms so we were willing the place to be lovely. The decor is cosy and the staff very welcoming but it’s more my grans sitting room than shabby chic.We sat down to our meal the restaurant was about half full and ordered their go to dish of flat iron steak only to be told they had sold out. (Strike 1)I had whitebait to start which was nice and then we ordered fish and chips and halibut.My fish was disappointing, soggy batter that when removed revealed a tiny piece of fish, the chips were lovely but small portions are served in large ramekins. (Strike 2)My wife’s food was OK but nothing to get excited about.I got an apology for the soggy fish and we left feeling disappointed, the Seagrave Arms is not cheap. 1 starter, 2 mains, 1 glass of wine (from a very limited wine list) and a beer with the added-on service came to over £70 that sort of price point I expected better. (Strike 3)In summary I feel if they are pitching themselves at the higher end of the gastropub market with starters £8 to £9.50 and mains £20 to £26 then they need to up their game.

My family and I were staying in Chipping Campden and my parents fancied fish and chips for this supper!So I had a look on TripAdviser and saw the Chinese takeaway in the village had poor reviews but noticed this pub in a neighbouring village. So we booked a table (after checking fish and chips were on the menu). Four of us had the fish and chips, which looked very nice whilst I had steak and chips which were very good. One person had a baked Alaska and another had pannacotta, which they both enjoyed. We also had a very good bottle of Malbec. We all had a good evening.

We arrived late after a long drive from South Wales, we wanted to eat but were tired. Didn't want a pantomime but needed good food. You delivered. The Flat Iron Steak was as good a serving of good red protein I can any I've ever eaten. Tthere was just the right choice of wines by the glass to wash it down and I was offered a menu of gins for my G&T. Serice was prompt, efficient and unfussy.And it's not really relevant but next morning's breakfast was also excellent.

Delicious, tasty and beautifully presented food. Staff extremely friendly, attentive and nothing too much trouble. Chips were as we were lead to believe..the best. If you bring a mum who lives on the coast and loves her fish and says this is one of the best you know it's good. Ok it's pricey for a pub but no complaints at all and the food was well worth it. Thoroughly enjoyed by all thank you

Have eaten here twice in the last couple of weeks - and on both occasions the staff were fantastic - professional, warm and welcoming.We loved their specialty G&Ts (our favourite was Twisted Nose with grapefruit peel and watercress!) and found the menu interesting and inventive. However the prices seemed very steep given the portion sizes (which were definitely smaller than average!).The bar was beautifully decorated and our dogs were made very welcome - and given water and treats.

We stayed in the hotel which I will review separately. However, on one night we decided to also eat here. I wish we had done so on every night of our stay.The food was stunning. An interesting menu, nothing was too much trouble, excellent service and great value for the level of quality ingredients and preparation.I will certainly return to the Cotswolds purely to eat here.

Absolutely loved the menu here. Want to return to order more from it! Best chips in the UK (officially - they have won an award!) delicious fish and a great selection at the bar. Service also excellent - friendly and welcoming!

Attractive pub serving good local beers and an excellent menu. All the food was well presented and tasted fantastic......chips to die for!!

Lovely building, nice cosy bar, good restaurant.Food is a little on the pricey side, and portions could do with been larger. The chips are especially good.Good selection of local beers, and a good wine list. The toilets are impressive and spotless.

After choosing from a fine range of gins, we decided that we would restrict ourselves to a starter and a pudding. Both of these far exceeded our expectations and gave us a really memorable dining experience.

Stopped off in the Cotswold area on the way to Oxford to wait for our first grandchild to be born and went to a few pubs who either weren't doing food or where we felt unwelcome.Stopped here and had the most wonderful quick bite to eat and a great conversation with the young man working. We were the only people there and we felt so special from the get go. Proper (not New Zealand thank god!) Whitebait with Homemade Garlic Mayo and the Salt Beef Sandwich with a few leaves on the side were beautiful, but we were able to just relax and sit in a nice place and have someone who actually wanted to make our visit there good.I'd said the chairs were a bit uncomfortable, but even my slightest niggle had a solution and I was brought a pillow and blanket straight away. Gentleman appeared to be the only one working (not surprised it seems quiet, maybe busier on weekends) and gave us his full attention, talking about the area and the hotel itself, but genuinely interested in us which is refreshing after a 4 hour car journey with your husband!£20 for two people food and two drinks, a lovely place and very impressed. Shame about the weather!

We said we would be back after our excellent lunch earlier in the year (in the snow). Dinner last Saturday evening was truly excellent; a succulent duck dish and the most tender shoulder of lamb were equally outstanding. The lemon posset and blueberry dessert which followed was outstandingly good. Service was friendly and efficient. We are looking forward to our next visit already! Anyone who has not yet tried the Seagrave Arms is missing a real treat!

Relaxed and friendly staff contributed to a good meal, beautifully prepared and served. Excellent choice of local beers and some interesting gins.

Stayed here as close to family and one of the few places in the area that would accept a one night stay (most wanted minimum 2 nights). Room was to a high standard with excellent shower - despite being next to main road the windows were soundproofed and we had an excellent nights sleep. The restaurant, whilst being expensive, serves exquisite food and the staff are very friendly and knowledgable. If you have any preconceptions about "nouvelle cuisine" forget them and just savour the food, it's truly excellent - the chef is a master. Ditto, the breakfast - the full English is in a different world - just wish they would double up on everything as you only get one egg, one sausage etc .Overall, the stay was not cheap but the staff are brilliant, the food excellent, location central and the rooms above average - only downside is the limited parking.

We've stayed here several times and loved it every time. I'll start by saying that I believe the current owners are making a fine job of both the hotel and restaurant sides of the business. We have stayed in a number of the rooms and would describe them as comfortable rather than luxurious as most are fairly small with small bathrooms. I think it is only the suite that actually has a bath.There is a nice pub bar which it is good to see that locals are using again, and we were made to feel very welcome. There is some good real ale on tap, always a bonus!The food is very tasty, but some is starting to look expensive for what you get. For example, my wife had a single, fairly small, stuffed mushroom as a starter; not a lot for £8.00. I couldn't decide between the scallop or belly pork starter, and the, clearly disgruntled, waitress suggested the belly pork "as you only get one scallop". Good food, but...hence my title.There's a fairly short but imaginative wine list on offer which seems fairly priced by restaurant standards.Breakfast is excellent, with good local meats in the full English, and I can recommend the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.Well worth a visit.

Stayed here last weekend (23-24 April) when walking the Cotswold Way. Room was very well-appointed and the bed was really comfortable. The attention to detail was fabulous - from the fresh milk for your tea and coffee (and lovely tea and coffee) to the gorgeous hot water bottles. But it was the food that was really stand out. Our dinner was superb and the breakfast was perfect. I've never seen DIY muesli in a hotel before and it's a great idea. I've been putting cinnamon in my own homemade muesli ever since. And I can't finish without mentioning the service - really friendly and helpful. I really can't recommend it more highly. Thank you!

We visited for lunch. The menu was varied and interesting. The "ham" egg and chips was spectacular - I've never had such a thick and juicy slice of ham and the butter sauce, poached egg and broccoli complimented it perfectly. My wife had a risotto which was thick and creamy. Some may regard the prices as a little steep, but like most things, you get what you pay for. Such a shame that the constant stream of heavy lorries en route to Honeybourne, Evesham and the M5 interrupt a leisurely drink in the garden!
