The Bakers Arms in Cotswold

(Written Aug 2024) Lovely small pub with friendly staff and amazing food! It’s only a couple of weeks into its new era, but already seeing the bar quite high! We’ll certainly come back when next in the area and recommend it highly!

We walked into the Bakers a couple of weeks ago and I was impressed with the refurb. My friend who is a beer connoisseur was very impressed with the ale. I took my wife and friends for my birthday meal and really enjoyed the food and service. Highly recommended.

CAN THERE BE 10 STARS FOR THIS PLACE??!!!🥰🥰🥰 The absolute best burger and sirloin steak i have had in probably 40-50 years. OH MAW GAWD--- the absolute BEST. The steak tasted exactly like what my dad would grill for us when I was a kid. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very different from a couple of years ago. Excellent food and a reasonable choice of good ales.

Have now enjoyed several experiences at the newly relaunched Bakers Arms. From a quiet pint on a weekday lunchtime to Sunday lunch, it doesn’t disappoint. Good food, without being ‘gastro’ or fussy, along with good service and a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious food matched by excellent service. A must visit

The shepherd pie was lovely and the staff are excellent

A wonderfully cosy classic English pub which produces excellent food in a great atmosphere with very good service

We came last night and had an excellent meal, great variety of drinks and very personable staff. Each staff member took their time to speak to us, recommend places and find out a little bit about our trip. We had a great conversation with the General Manager, apparently he was new and the pub had only reopened a week ago! You would've never known. Great time here and we'd definitely return when we come back! We would 100% recommend a visit.

Charming dog friendly pub, with new decor and management. Warm welcome from staff. Limited menu but salmon and crab sharing platter was to die for and very reasonably Priced. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful little country pub, apparently it’s just reopened. Lovely food - mix of what I would class as classic pub food and experimental dishes. We had Ham, Egg & Chips but also a Bhaji Salad. Great selection of wines as well! Would definitely return!

Just re-opened, they have do it up and it’s look really good now! The food and drink is lovely, recommend popping in.

Ordered the roast chicken from the Sunday menu. Everything was most definitely from a packet and terrible quality, and as you can see from the photos no care gone into the food at all. The rest of the table actually laughed when the plate was placed down in front of me as it looked so bad. Will not be going back.

Looks like the pub needs a good cleaning. The toilet is very grotty, and the hand wash gel was empty. Nobody seems to refill or replace it at all. We wanted to order hot food for lunch, but because the cook has walked out, unfortunately, we can only order sandwiches. Overall, I was very disappointed to have had lunch in this pub. The scores on the door should come & check out their kitchen.

I’m sorry to say the food was really quite bad! Some of my chips were still frozen in the middle, the pie lacked flavour and the meat was chewy, the roast was meagre and absolutely not worth the price. Fine if it’s a pub that just does a bit of food but the food is cheap and it’s more of a watering hole, but for those prices, you’d expect higher quality food and service, it’s a shame because the pub itself is beautiful!

A traditional pub in a lovely village with an open fire. 4 of us had Sunday lunch there. 3 had roast beef and one had steak pie. Unfortunately, all of the meals came on cold plates, so the roast beef and potatoes were cold to start off with. The roast beef was actually 2 small slices, so this did not represent good value. The steak pie on the other hand was very hot and a good size, but the plate was still cold. So all in all a bit of a mixed bag. We wouldn't recommend the roast, but the pie was good. Good choice of beers.

Lovely atmosphere. Food was great. A little slow with the service but it was very busy. Service was polite and friendly. Nice country pub.

Glorious, cosy and welcoming village pub. The Hewitt family had a wonderful time at the pub this week, a big thank you to the lovely and accommodating staff 😀

Great little pub. Cosy and inviting.

Good food, good beer and service

Busy. Big dry cake... not cheap. Coffee ok.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal tonight. Very friendly local with very friendly locals. Dog welcomed, all the meals we had were excellent. Ice cream scoops were massive!

Lovely friendly, historic village pub, great food, good selection of ales, ciders, wine etc. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Nice little pub great pint of cider

Great food served in great portions.

We stopped here overnight and had a beautiful meal, reasonable prices well kept beer. The owner and her staff were really helpful and welcoming. Will definitely return. A big thank you 😊

We walked from Chipping Campden to Broad Campden and stopped at the Bakers Arms for lunch. The atmosphere and was inviting. Unfortunately, we were hoping for some chocolate ice cream, but all they had was vanilla and strawberry.

We have never been in a pub that is so Depressing you have Woldorf & Statler both dog owner's sat at end of bar my God so Miserable for dog owner's worst I've ever come across , took our own dog bowl told not to put on carpet placed on stone floor the carpet was more dirty than the floor, still look on the bright side the food was good. If you are looking for a pub with a great Atmosphere Don't go there. I Don't Apologise for this Review I think you should just stick with your Depressing locals

Good pub food but no vegetarian choice. Lovely setting to walk into Chipping Campden across the fields. Helpful and friendly staff. Excellent range of local beers.

Four of us were there on Father's Day and enjoyed our meal. We stopped by Fri evening to make a booking and Morris Dancers we're there--what a fun, unexpected surprise!

Off the beaten track but evidently popular with walkers. Friendly welcome, prompt service and hot food. Not an extensive menu, but good basic fare

Having spent 11 days on a camp site near you, we used your pub regularly. I was impressed with the way staff both old and young made us feel welcome and even the regulars did that too. Especially the gentleman that sits at the end of the bar with the dog called jack. The food was also brilliant, just what we needed.

Hazel was awful a smile wouldnt hurt she made the experience awful wouldn't recommend. On the other hand Charlotte, Sam amd Toby were great young adults and made the experience a whole lot better!

We had a lovely Sunday lunch, very friendly staff. See you all very soon

Arrived 7.45pm on a Saturday night and the kitchens were closed.

A charming place in a quiet village with a good selection of beer. Very pleasant gardens, so popular with dog owners (I don't think the dogs had much choice, or was it the owners who had no choice...). Anyway, a very pleasant evening spent in the gardens under warm April sunshine.

Excellent pub highly recommend fantastic food but even greater service. Had the steak recently cooked to perfection by the chef ,very talented.

Great beer for when walking the Heart Of England way.

Great food. Good value. Good service(staff are lovely). Very Dog friendly!

Excellent pub food and beer....a good old proper village pub....which seems quite rare around these parts

Fantastic food,lovely helpful people,always visit when in the cotswolds

I loved it I am a big father brown fan, so sitting in the pub where it is filmed made my weekend, defo a worth while visit. Also the food was lovely xx

Good selection of well kept beers, good food in a traditional pub. Pleasant, helpful staff. Nice warm fires

First off, I was very impressed with the staff who are hard working and attentive. There was plenty of choice on the menu and quite a selection of draught beers on tap. What is also nice is that the whole place has the Cotswold feel to it. As you walk out of the car park, you get an immediate view of the Cotswold hills, its in a very scenic village, is close to Chipping Campden, and looks very traditional inside. Well worth a visit.

The dark haired older lady in charge could have been nicer the couple of times we popped in. This was the only place in the Cotswold that was not a pleasant experience. I would say pass on this place and go where you are appreciated and made to feel welcomed.

Can fault service or effort but my god the food is not up to scratch. Not a single meal was finished and sending it back to the kitchen seemed completely pointless. Dog friendly pub but was still strange to have a dog just roaming freely around the pub which seemed to be the owners'. The smell of the dog was a massive put off as well. Plenty of other pubs nearby that I'd recommend to try instead.

Multiple issues Booked on line arrived ahh we don't check Webb bookings but if travelling as we were 35 miles makes sence book . One cold dinner . One dinner served no potatoes ....on pie n chips dinner questioned young person serving to ask where we're never returned . Extremely limited stock drinks wise Lovely looking place just needs better organised staff . Bill was lowerd but doesn't help both meals not good .not sure if gamble again here.

So my partner used website to book table but arrived to be told they hadn't received booking and had to sit in the dining room next to the kitchen with no atmosphere, so ordered food, sat waiting for while and the young lad carried our meals past us and into the bar I didn't say anything as wasn't sure it was ours, 5-10 minutes later he walked from bar and put my partners pie on the table and took mine back to kitchen then returned with hot mushy peas so I assumed meal was hot put mayo on and bit into scampi that was cold and chips I asked young lad if he had just bought back from bar and he said yes, my partner asked if he could have his chips that was supposed to be with meal and they never arrived and his steak pie didn't look like steak pie, meals are small and not value for money. This is set in a beautiful part of the Cotswolds just 5 minutes from Chippenham Camden, whichever way you go it's beautiful with views and scenery. I would say its best to try this pub and make up your own minds.

Brilliant pub, good service, food and beer. Very cosy atmosphere. How a pub should be

Lovely country village pub serving good food and nice real ales.

Delicious steak and ale pies, nice beers, and very pleasant atmosphere.

Excellent lunch. Good service for our large group. Good beer!

A really nice qaint pub. The food was excellent and very filling. The pub was spotless and the staff were nice too. I love the fact that the inside of this pub has been used in quite a few episodes of Father Brown

Cosy pub with yummy meals! :) Could use some vegan/dairy free options though.

Garden is nice with lots of seating but the Sunday roast was beyond disappointing. Standard carling, moretti lagers on tap as well as a handful of ales. It was very cute inside but I'd skip of you want to eat or drink anything

Lovely pub with dog friendly big garden. Nice sandwiches

Lovely country pub. They have what has to be the BEST steak, ale and Stilton pie ever!! Made in house. Outstanding and welcoming staff.

We walked from Chipping Campden to Broad Campden and back and stopped in for a drink. Good range of bitters. Customer service behind the bar was funnily bad.

An excellent pub with friendly, helpful staff and excellent food. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous English pub and great food.

Best pub ... If you like witty banter with the locals, good food, and being able to breathe clean air in spectacularly beautiful countryside. Family friendly, dog friendly, Uber cute place. If only I could still write this but a dire lack of moral integrity would be required on my part to stand by this review and, unlike the landlady and my now ex fiancé, I prize my moral integrity highly - so I respectfully withdraw my recommendation.

Nice pub with a good selection of beers.

Very friendly landlady.will definitely be going back for food.

We've been here twice, first time by chance but second time really wanted to come again to enjoy a cosy Cotswolds pub in a picturesque and quiet village. The Original Beer is really good.

Great little pub. Jordan, the chef was kind enough to drop us home when we couldn't get a taxi back.

Firstly , the service was a bit lacklustre. We had to go to the bar to order the drinks and had to prompt the bar staff to take our food order. The starters were seriously deep fried and a little disappointing. The chicken & leek pie was tasty but the steak we ordered was overdone & not medium rare as requested.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Very nice old traditional Cotswold pub. Recommended.

The pub is nicely situated in a very quaint small Cotswold village. I arrived, to be greeted with a fairly luke-warm reception - but I guess I was an early diner - at 12 noon. The menu was very basic, but is ideal for walkers in need of a pint and a few snacks. I ordered the fish cakes and they tasted and looked, as if they had been bought from a frozen chain food store. The chips and everything else were pretty average - sad to say! The hospitality warmed-up once my plate had been removed with most of the food still remaining. I live in the Cotswolds and so the upside is that the food and drinks are not expensive. Personally, I think that the owner should spend a little more money on the place - refurbishing loos etc without removing any of the character and charm. The pub has the potential to be red-hot but at the moment it is truly luke-warm!

Fresh eggs, tasty Han. Chips were OK, not amazing. Overall, quaint and cosy pub in beautiful surroundings.

Lovely village pub with fantastic staff

Lovely little country pub. Visited New year's eve.

Great food and prompt service in a cosy country pub.

Traditional pub, wood fire, cosy typical Cotswold style. Locals use it, beer is quality.

Lovely pub and gardens, nice walk also

A great country pub serving great food at reasonable pricing

Lovely, friendly local pub that does nice food

Friendly and cosy. It was used to film Father Brown...

Delicious food, great service and very dog friendly

Great little pub tucked away in the village of Broad Camden. Good selection of real ales and food is of a high standard. Portions are generous too.

Lovely village pub with a cosy atmosphere. The owners were very welcoming and the food was good. Would definitely return.

A last minute Saturday night supper booking. Nice, friendly people. Good range of local draught beers, great food, dog friendly (ours was even given a bonio by the landlady [?]). We sat inside, but there was a lovely fairy-lit garden at the back of the car park. What's not to like and the prices were reasonable to boot.

Good range of beers and fair priced pub grub.

Great beer and food. Fab staff. Dave would be really happy xx

Great food and excellent beer, lovely staff.

Had a lovely evening meal. Staff were very friendly.

a beautiful little country pub with tasty, home cooked food at excellent prices. Great garden area and dogs very welcome

Absolute lovely meal. Fantastic starter of tempura vegetables and a perfect gammon and chips. Wife chose the mushrooms to start and the chicken, ham and leek pie. Its was all so tasty and right on point of quality and well cooked 👍. Defiantly going on my shortlist to visit again 👍

Amazing pub, great atmosphere, wonderful welcome

Only called for a well earned drink halfway through our walk but found the staff extremely nice and set in a divine Cotswold village. Food is supposed to be great. Check opening times before you venture forth

Great lunch. Only cheese and pickle baguette with chips but really nice and good portion size 😋😋

Had a warm welcome even though we where 1 hour early. Food and service was very good . Thank you will visit again .

Lovely pub and friendly staff. Had a Hot Pork baguette which was very tasty and the chips that accompanied were terrific.

A lovely walk through the fields from Campden and we were delighted with the atmosphere of this beautiful pub. This is a proper village pub where we enjoyed a delicious, unpretentious meal, good drink and friendly, warm service. I would recommend the Steak and Ale Pie - top-notch and great after a good walk as the portion is generous. The piri-piri chicken was deliciously spicy as it should be and chips/fries superb. We will be back as regularly as we can and I hasten to add we would not hesitate to strongly recommend this pub to our local circle of friends and beyond. 5/5 - Super.

In an area of expensive gastro pubs, run by people with double barreled names, this is a delightful village local. Great beer (many Camra awards), wonderful home cooking in a beautiful village.

Nice , quirky, quaint pub. Very cosy inside overlooking the Cotswolds green fields . Very nice and kind stuff, quick service on a Sunday afternoon. Food was very good. Great garden and outside space. Yes, we'd come here again. Overall 4.5 stars.

Stopped by for lunch at The Bakers Arms on a 12 mile walk from Broadway to Morton in Marsh. We got 2 chicken, ham and leek pies. The pies were very tasty but the fries were out of this world! Thick cut, perfectly crisped on the outside, and an amazingly fluffy center. It feels weird harping on about the chips but they really blew us away.

Welcoming and friendly. Great live music

Friendly service. Nice traditional pub grub

Lovely Cotswold pub located in a wonderful village. Landlord was very pleasant. Superb pint, large garden to rear, regrettably we didn’t get an opportunity to eat here on this visit. We will define return next time we’re in the area.

Just had fish /chips and Chicken Leek Ham Pie takeaway. Delivery covid safe. V.FM. Fabulous meals. Large portions. Highly recommend you try it. Pub when open (lockdown) , friendly staff, Good real ales.
