The Cherington Arms in Stratford-on-Avon

A Walk -in. Stopped on the off-chance of a Sunday lunch at 2.30 pm. Instantly served by Speedy Gonzalez, aka George, and neither of us could fault it. A great addition to the Happy Wolf Pack. Good Luck; Well done; Many thanks and highly recommended. We shall return.

We booked for dinner on a Friday night and had a great time. We were surprised by the quality of the food and our waiter, George, was extremely friendly and kept us laughing throughout. Will definitely again when next in the area.

Excellent food and attentive staff, great cider too which is a definite bonus. Well worth a try if you’re in the area. Good choice of gluten free options also.

This newly refurbished pub is really excellent. We had an early Sunday lunch with small children. The service was excellent, friendly, child friendly and quick. Basic good food. Limited Sunday menu however the starters and the roast beef were really delucious. So pleased it has reopened. The garden is going to be great in the summer.

Planning a visit to the Cotswolds Distillery Visitor Centre where we hoped to sample lots of their products led me to finding this gem of a country pub. With their kind permission we parked our motorhome on their carpark then walked the ten minutes for a boozy Distillery tour and a wobble back. Dinner at The Cherington was a perfect end to a great day with friendly, attentive staff (shoutout to George!) and delicious, freshly cooked food from a well constructed menu to suit all tastes. Drinks in the Bar after dinner were convivial and cosy with lots of friendly and welcoming locals including Scoff the dog who was sure to greet all comers. We loved the evening, had a peaceful night on the quiet carpark and have already decided to come back. 100% recommendations for this fabulous village pub.

Excellent meal at The Cherington on Saturday evening, delicious chicken skewers followed by fish of the da, sea bass, and then amazing homemade ice cream. All ably served by George and Emmy who were super efficient friendly and helpful. Can unreservedly recommend this venue for a great meal out!

Really yummy meal this week and also have been for drinks there over the past few months. Great atmosphere, George was very kind and helpful! Definitely going back!

Warm, clean, friendly, welcoming, great atmosphere! We had a delicious meal with friends. Such fabulous service by George and Harmony and the food was amazing - you smashed it Will and Elliott!

Lovely pub. Our first visit since the refurb (ad possible new management?) and we weren’t disappointed. We were in need of a pick me up so ordered 5 espresso Martinis which were only £9.95 each. The bar maid was lovely and friendly and the cocktails were fab. It was my friends’s first espresso martini and she wasn’t disappointed. Can’t wait to return next year.

Amazing Sunday lunch! Our waiter George was brilliant! … and a massive mention for my dessert choice.. the crumble .. 10/10! Well done guys!

Wonderful village pub. Food was fantastic and it has a cheerful and welcoming atmosphere. Very dog friendly too. Thank you to George who served us… he was so friendly and helpful. Sunday lunch sharing board with 10 of us was really excellent ..loads to share and really tasty. So good that we keep returning .

Delightful friendly Warwickshire pub with superb garden down to the river and delicious menu. We were comfortable and relaxed in the restaurant. Clean and convivial. Will be back.

Just got back from having a sunday lunch.must say this was the best sunday meal i have ever had.We have been to at least 25 pub stopovers in our motorhome,10 out of 10.

Fabulous food last night for 15 of us. Great Chef and brilliant front of house team of George, Harmony and Jack. We will definitely be back 😋

Came with kids and arrived at door to see man in red shirt with a blond woman totally drunk could hardly stand up and swearing. Left immediately not the place to take your kids

Had lasagne which was a soggy salty mess of a dish, not nice at all. When it came out I didn’t think it was mine as it had an orange sauce over the top, pasta was thick and soggy.

Wow 10 out of 10! A group of us went for Sunday lunch to celebrate a friends birthday. Could not fault a thing. Food was divine as were the staff, thoroughly recommended.

Great food, service and ambience. Really varied but not too large a menu which is always good. Enjoyed the small plates hugely. Mackerel and soufflé both delicious. My only comment would be that I would have liked the plum tart served warm. Otherwise great job

Visited for Sunday lunch - absolutely amazing. Great service and friendly staff, especially to our dog. We went back on the Tuesday evening for drinks in beer garden. Superbly laid out and great drinks in the sun. Would definitely recommend.

We had dinner here last night while spending a night in the Cotswolds. We both had fish and chips and they were absolutely perfect. My husband had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert , presentation was impressive and taste really good. Very important to us was the greeting and service we got while there. The 2 people , a man and a woman were both very friendly and welcoming. Thank you! Would definantly come again!

Staying locally we looked for decent food that would accommodate Gluten and Dairy Free, a wheelchair user and a little dog. I’m so glad we found The Cherington Arms as it did not disappoint. Lasagne, Pork Belly and Burger followed by Tiramisu and Sorbets were all delicious and portion sizes were good. The staff were so attentive and friendly and made us so welcome. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent night with great food and such lovely staff. Tackled the burger and one. A great little menu.

Visited for the first time yesterday. Very welcoming, nice location and amazing food (the monster burger is truly epic), one of our party was GF and their choice was pretty much the same as ours. If we are even vaguely in the area we would not hesitate to go out of our way to visit again.

Lovely pub restaurant tucked away in Cherington. The host Gilberto was warm and friendly with a great sense of humour. The food was really good and the portions were large. Our meal was accompanied by an excellent red wine. The cost for 3 adults was very reasonable for the quality we experienced. We recommend you check them out if you are in the area.

Please don’t waste your money on eating here. Wanted a nice Fathers Day outing with family and it was just a disappointment from the start. Lots of food had ran out, they had obviously taken on far too many bookings and couldn’t handle them. The place seemed very run down and could do with a revamp. Even the plants pots outside were just growing weeds. The food was average. The beef was over done and cut very thick. Such a shame. Wish we had just stayed at home and cooked ourselves. Will not be returning

We booked on line, so glad we did lovely country pub in a village setting, food is freshly cooked and is really delicious My husband had haddock veg and potatoes it had been sauté cooked to perfection. Plenty of veg and potatoes I had slow roasted belly pork with veg and roasted potatoes oh my it was really good and well presented Of course we had to try the puddings Apple crumble was just to die for and the chocolate brownie was lovely again well presented The was enough to eat and we were full we stayed and had a coffee Lovely owners who honestly could not do enough for you lovely and chatted and made us fell very welcome

Pleasant setting. Very clean premises. Nice food. We had a special fish dish with a lovely salad and herb crushed potatoes.

Food was amazing with so much flavour and good size portions. Staff where very friendly and helpful and just a wonderful place to go. Would come here again to try more of menu

Had a fantastic evening, great food and superb company. Elin was an absolute joy to chat with, both her and Gilbert made us feel very welcome. My wife and I had the Portuguese surf and turf, the sauce was so tasty, the clams fresh; a very nice meal indeed. The seafood is brought in all the way from Grimsby, near our hometown of Hull. We highly recommend.

We went for dinner on a Tuesday evening. Mum had tagliatelle and I had a beef burger. Tagliatelle was a large portion with garlic bread. Burger came with chips, onion rings and coleslaw. Both were very tasty and filling!

What a disaster! I booked for Sunday Lunch on my own and specified that I would like to sit by the fire! On arrival the fire was not lit and I asked the manager if he could light it as I was cold! He said that it wasn’t cold and turned on his heels! On ordering I asked him what the soup of the day was, he didn’t know! I then asked him where to meat came from for the various roasts . He new the name of the butcher but couldn’t tell me if the lamb was English, the beef was Scottish or the pork local! I understand that the man was Portuguese! He reminded me of Manuel in Fawlty Tower but without the chaotic charm! 😂

After reading all the excellent reviews on Trip Advisor, we booked into here for a mid week meal. My Mum and I both had fish and chips on hearing that it was a Tuesday night special. We were not disappointed. The meal was excellent, so fresh… probably the best fish and chips we’ve eaten in a long time! The owners are friendly and welcoming. Although we were visiting the area for a couple of days, we shall definitely return to this wonderful pub! 🥰

Absolutely fabulous meal out at the Cherington Arms. Lovely ambience and atmosphere on a Friday evening. The food was exceptional quality and the service was wonderful…chef’s kiss 👌 I had the Peri Peri chicken and my partner had chicken and chorizo tagliatelle followed by churros and sticky toffee pudding for desserts. Not a crumb was left on the plates. The lovely couple who run the venue are clearly very passionate and provide a memorable service. Thank you both!

An excellent pub/restaurant. Well laid out, warm and welcoming. Everything about the place is just so good - service, quality of food, quiet ambience, the lot. And the best pork belly I have ever had. And the churros.....!! If you are in the area and have the opportunity to eat here, just do it.

We came to this charming old pub and whilst it was cold outside- inside our welcome was warm .Having been told that the fish had arrived freshly from Grimsby we decided that it would be churlish not to try it and we were certainly not...

We stopped here for a pint midway around a circular 6 mile walk. The team behind the bar were very attentive and keen to help but the place lacked atmosphere. Despite being freezing cold weather, the wood-burner was unlit, there was no background music and...

Food was pretty average, but pricing reflected the basic choice. Would not have this advertised as a gastro pub, it's not as special as that. Service was good.

New owners who are clearly trying their upmost to build the restaurant , going out of their way to provide exceptional service . So friendly and the food was gorgeous absolutely gorgeous . If I was going to be picky the chips could of been...

Lovely pub in a nice cotswolds village, I had the pork belly which was superb. I would thoroughly recommend as a place to eat or stop by for a drink,

Thank you so much for a lovely meal although we couldn’t do it justice as the portions are incredibly generous! Full marks to the landlord, the chef and lovely staff. We shall be returning👍

The Cherington Arms, snugly located in the heart of this delightful Cotswold village has just recently re-opened after a period of shut down. Cherington locals must have been well pleased when Gilbert and Erin took over the tenancy of this rural hostelry. We called in...

This place needs complete overhaul. Service is moody and unwelcoming. Food can be good. Outside setting could be fab but they just don’t make most of the incredible potential. And unfortunately the attitude makes you not want to give them another chance to impres

We found this pub a couple of weeks ago.The most exquisite food you could wish to eat. Could not be faulted. We would like to spend every evening here !

Sunday lunch for a anniversary with family, good food as always friendly helpful staff. Good choice of meat and vegetables .

This was our third recent visit - twice for their really splendid Tuesday evening fish and chips. The pub is a pleasing building in this unspoilt Cotswolds village, but perhaps its greatest asset is the huge garden at the back- spreading down to the river...

Visited for lunch before going to Cotswold Distillery. One ham omelette and a bacon and brie baguette. The bacon and brie baguette was stuffed with masses of filling and the baguette tasted freshly cooked. The ham omelette was perfectly cooked with chunks of ham. Both...

Pub gardens don't come much more peaceful than the one at the Cherington Arms, in the picturesque village of Cherington, South Warwickshire. This is a lovely, traditional, family-run pub with an amazing French chef. We had two delicious homemade beef burgers - and they were...

Good Beer and food. Great family ambience. Copes well with Covid. Big open beer garden. space for children. Good parking adjacent. Great use of locally sourced food. The chef even grow's his own spices and some ingredients on site

We were staying locally at a holiday cottage but with the weather being so terrible we wanted some junk food, wine and TV. We saw on FB that the Cherington were doing Takeaway pizza and we weren't disappointed. They even had vegan cheese! My hubby...

Visited on 1st Saturday after lockdown restrictions being relaxed. Staff have put in place strict but easy to understand and sensible measures. We ate in the garden and we’re amazed at the quality of the food - ribs with homemade bbq sauce to start then...

Nice old pub ruined by rude staff, bad beer and no heating. The lack of custom apparent is entirely understandable. The prices high. Not a place I will return to.

We are staying down this way on a little break and decided to pop in for a bit of lunch. It was absolutely perfect, couldn’t ask for more great service and great food thank you very much.

Brilliant Sunday carvery post a trip to the Cotswold Gin tour. Excellent service and food and very popular place.

Excellent family run pub. Food delicious, staff friendly and attentive. Dog friendly. Nice traditional menu. Good wine.

What a fabulous evening after the local Cotswolds Distillery Festival! Friendly welcome and great banter with waitress and chef - all very well received! Scrummy food - pub grub with a twist. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

Llamé a almorzar esta semana y se llevó a mi madre y mi perro. Ambos tuvimos el pastel de carne y patatas fritas y estaba absolutamente delicioso. Nos dijeron que habría una espera de 20 minutos, lo cual estaba bien, significaba que se estaba cocinando fresco y no teníamos prisa, salimos al jardín de cerveza y disfrutamos del clima.Era un día caluroso y sin pedirle a mi perro que trajera un cuenco fresco de agua limpia, lo cual ella agradeció y pensé que era el tipo de servicio atento que le faltaba hoy en día. El pequeño equipo fue muy amable y acogedor, y es una pena que no viva cerca de este pub, ya que estaría allí con más frecuencia.Si vas a la zona te recomiendo que vayas a comer aquí. Hay un amplio aparcamiento, una acogedora zona de bar, un gran restaurante y mucho espacio en el exterior, y para mí, la excelente comida y el excelente servicio son un ganador cada vez. Gracias Cherington Arms

Vivimos localmente y hemos estado muchas veces para la cena. La comida siempre es excelente, a precios razonables.He estado con mi familia y el chef fue excelente en acomodar a mi hermana vegetariana para hacerla algo emocionante.Si está buscando una cena cara y lujosa en Cotswold, este no es el lugar para usted, pero si lo que busca es una buena comida en un pub tradicional, ¡este es el lugar!Recomiendo encarecidamente:)

Asistir a una boda recientemente y la recepción se llevó a cabo aquí. A nuestra llegada nos saludaron y nos dirigieron al jardín en la parte trasera del pub, donde había una mesa cargada con fizz de dinero frío que se recibió con gratitud ya que era un día húmedo y húmedo. El jardín es enorme y lo suficientemente grande como para que los niños corran, mientras que los adultos toman el peso de cualquiera de los asientos. Dentro de las mesas se habían colocado bien, no había una gran cantidad de espacio pero estábamos cómodos. Se habría apreciado algún aire acondicionado o ventiladores, pero eso no arruinó el día. El desayuno de la boda era un asador que era excelente. Había carne de res y cerdo disponibles, ambos cocinados a la perfección, junto con grandes pudines de Yorkshire, papas asadas y 4 verduras diferentes. Estaba sabroso y caliente. Los pudines también eran geniales y había muchos en oferta. Solo recuerdo lo que tenía, que era el de baile, y de mí. . que era preciosa y muy muy rica. El personal era encantador, servicial y trabajó muy duro para asegurar que todos pasaran un buen momento y tengo que decir que hicimos muchas gracias.

Traditional Carvery, piping hot, nice range of sweets, good service and lovely staff. Nice relaxing atmosphere in a beautiful location.

Recientemente fuimos aquí con el vicario local y su familia. Inusualmente, había cordero en el menú, que era absolutamente delicioso, junto con carne de res y / o cerdo. Había una buena selección de verduras también. Las dos niñas disfrutaron de salchichas, guisantes y papas fritas. Siguieron los pudines. Es un buen lugar para ir y hay un aparcamiento de tamaño razonable enfrente. Uno puede tomar bebidas en el área de césped en la parte posterior, que conduce a un pequeño río. ¿Esperamos volver alguna vez y hacer que Ben o Bryony reserven nuevamente? Gracias Jean - Michel y Tracy

One of my happiest birthday parties for 40 family and friends: delicious food in abundance made by chef Jean-Michel, and everything exactly as I wanted it.

A good selection of classic pub food with fantastic service in a lovey setting with locally produced beers and gin.

Called in for lunch whilst waiting for access to local B&B.; Found pub on google maps. Was just opening up at noon & staff very welcoming & friendly. Very much a locals pub judging by customers who arrived after us. Rural decor. Old photos on walls. Owners cute black pug came over to say 'hello'. There is separate restaurant which looked fairly large & a group of walkers arrived to take up their booking. Food arrived fairly quickly and tasted really nice. Would we visit again. Yes. Strangely this place was not on dining suggestion sheet provided by our local B&B;.

If you want some peace and quiet in the Cotswolds then the north-eastern corner is great, lovely villages, rolling hills, and gems like The Cherington Arms tucked away in the pretty village of Cherington (also home to The Cotswold Distillery). A friend and I had lunch at the pub today, with Hook Norton ales, great food, generous portions and friendy and efficient service. And a lot quieter than a pub would have been in the more popular parts of the Cotswolds. Maybe not great for business though!

Visited this pub on a Friday evening. Met some of the locals who are great. The food was lovely. Very filling. Couldn't eat all of my meal. Went back on the Saturday lunchtime. More food. Again lovely. And back again on the Saturday night. More food. Again great. Managed to try a pudding. That was really nice. Great guns served and reasonably priced. The bar staff were fantastic. A credit to the pub.

our first visit to this very welcoming pub/restaurant , lunch time visit ,staff friendly and very helpful,nothing was too much trouble,meal was delicious,we will certainly be returning , perhaps on a curry night.....sounds great!!.

The pub was very accommodating for a large group of walkers. We parked all day in the car park. They opened up early for us to pre-order food and use their facilities. After a splendid walk up, over and round Brailes Hill. We phoned up to give the chef half an hour warning of our arrival. When we walked through the door the table was laid ready and the food arrived a few minutes later. Portions were generous and the food enjoyed by all.

Lovely cosy english country pub. Looking at the menu I didn't see any vegetarian options apart from starters but the staff couldn't have been more helpful and the chef offered me two different options. Both sounded lovely and the one I chose (sundired tomato and leek gnocchi) was absolutely delicious. I was blown away by the quality and flavour of this dish and how accommodating the staff were to my dietry needs. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there and if we are ever travelling to the area again, we will be sure to pop in.

Contrary to the earlier reviews we find the team here great and the Sunday carvery is tasty, home cooked and great value.

Great destination pub with a lovely family run atmosphere . Quality food cooked with a Gallic twist . Where else can you get a fab Crepe Suzette?

I had Lunch here yesterday with a group of girlfriends. The food was terrible, not much choice, the veg was over cooked, the meat was under cooked. The staff were rude. I certainly won’t be returning and will be advising people against it!

El hombre que servía la comida era malhumorado y también la comida estaba tibia, algunas verduras cocinadas a fuego lento, calificaría la comida como mala.

Las campanas de alarma deberían haber sonado cuando era el único pub en el área con disponibilidad a corto plazo. No solo la comida estaba fría, el repollo era amarillo y los guisantes como balas, y cuando pedí repollo fresco me dijeron que ésa era la forma en que estaba cocida. ! "Cuando pagué la factura, mi frágil padre de 88 años dijo que hacía frío y le dije que toda la comida era repugnante y que el propietario / chef francés llegó a mi padre listo para darle un puñetazo y su pequeña hija tuvo que ponerse delante de él". para detenerlo. Salimos del bar y nos despedimos el uno al otro cuando él dobló la esquina y trató de llamarme una "vaca de gobby". La joven hija tuvo que ponerse al frente para evitar que me atacara a mí ya mi padre. Llamaron a la policía ya que ambos nos sentimos muy amenazados. ¡No recomendaría a nadie que visite este pub, comportamiento extremadamente abusivo y comida fría absolutamente repugnante! ! !
