The Bakers Arms in Cotswold

A gem of a pub found in a lovely Cotswolds hamlet. Our party of 4 were fortunate enough to be able to choose from the newly rolled out menu. We each ordered different dishes and they were all first class. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive, but not overly so. There was a relaxed, convivial atmosphere and for the quality of the food, the prices were very reasonable indeed. We will definitely be going back.

Eaten here 3 times whilst visiting the area and each time it’s been fantastic. Great intimate atmosphere and excellent food. Definitely recommend

Although difficult to find reviews on Facebook, we visited here last night during our long weekend in the Cotswolds. We had great service and the food was delicious. I’d definitely return if in the area.

Went with my brother and family.. wow food was so good the atmosphere great. Just what you need for a lovely night out.

Fantastic food, staff and location. The perfect gastropub!

This pub has been taken over. The bar staff have no idea how to clean beer lines! The beer tastes of chemicals. Staff stand in bar area eating while guests wait to be served. Along with other bar staff who ignore punters & continue talking to whoever? It's such a shame these old village pubs can't get the right staff, letting the landlord down we won't go back now we've tried too many times.

Our first visit this evening. Very welcoming staff, awesome food and relaxing atmosphere. 1st of many visits for my wife and I. Thanks to all at The Bakers Arms.

Me and my partner had dinner here last night. The food and service here were outstanding! The atmosphere in the pub was very homely, welcoming and warm with the fire going. Would highly recommend to any one.

Overall the food was really good apart from the beef which was a bit chewy

Lovely country pub. Beautiful fireplace. Food was delicious with good veggie and vegan options. All the staff were so lovely and accommodating. Lucy was an angel!! Thank you Bakers Arms Team 🩷🩷

What a lovely pub! Friendly staff, super food and a great atmosphere.

A very cosy local pub in a great setting walkers!

Excellent Sunday lunch, thank you.

We had lunch here, which we all enjoyed very much with a glass of mulled wine. It was so lovely to come into a pub with a welcoming fire. Today we tried the Sunday roasts. Beef & chicken were delicious with an enormous Yorkshire pudding, plenty of veg & lovely roast potatoes.

Absolutely wonderful place, staff very welcoming, informative, they recommended the chefs special, it was one of the nicest meals we'd had in a long time .

I don't usually write reviews, but after the exceptional service we received, I felt compelled to share our experience. In particular, Joe our waiter, was incredibly personable and attentive to our dietary requests. Repeatedly encountering butternut squash as the sole vegetarian option in pubs & restaurants can become monotonous. Its encouraging that Joe was receptive to our feedback and kindly spoke to the chef. Not only did the chef prepare us a delightful little taster, but they are also considering expanding their vegetarian options based on our feedback. Its the kind of thoughtfulness and willingness to listen that will definitely bring us back on our next trip to the Cotswolds :-)

The owner let me park on site before they opened. I went for a hike and came back to put some hot tender ox cheek and flavorful mashed potato in my stomach. Felt happy and content. I saw locals hanging out here and dogs are welcomed. Seemed to me a nice locale for the community with great atmosphere and a welcoming stop for travelers with great pub food. :)

We had a superb Sunday roast. Delicious, fresh and piping hot. Lovely staff too. Highly recommended

Found this pub at the last minute. Wonderful welcome, very friendly and efficient service and DELICIOUS food. All 5 of us loved our food choices. Joe our server was fsultless and accommodating. Malbec was delicious and the local bitter spot on. Will definitely recommend and come again when we're in the North Cotswolds. Thank you

Superb food, best fish and chips I've ever had! Joe the bar manager was super friendly and helpful as was the lovely young lady who served us. It was a great experience in a lovely cotswoldy pub, will definitely revisit. Dog friendly as well, top marks

It’s not very often that I look at a menu and want everything on it, but I did today. The squash and mushroom wellington was delicious.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Bakers Arms this afternoon. Although we didn't have a reservation we were warmly welcomed. The food (Rib eye with cafe de Paris butter) was perfectly and deliciously cooked. Our host Joe (not to be confused with Tom, ha ha) provided exceptional snd knowledgeable service. A gem of a hotel in a village location with quintessential English charm. Definitely recommend.

Under new ownership. Best Sunday Roast by a country mile. Live nearby and stopping in regularly. Staff couldn’t be nicer. Lovely spot. Reasonably priced.

(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!

Nice food pub. Well worth a visit for a meal or drinks. On footpaths and decent parking

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.

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

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

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
