The Cotswold Diner in Cotswold - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

we stumbled on this gem parked next to the Cotswold Way & stopped for coffee - very quick service & so reasonably priced we had to have a second mug before we continued our walk.

Just enjoyed our delicious hot breakfast and a feeling of being back to California! The interior is so cool. The view from our window was good too.

Pricy food but tasted ok, wasnt the best but wasn’t the worst either. This converted bus is a fairly cool idea and is immaculately presented inside, the cooking area was spotless. Disabled access would be a bit of an issue though!

The bus has recently returned after having a poorly engine changed out so I took the opportunity to call in for brunch. Prompt service. Well coooked food and generous portions at a reasonable price. Will visit again.

Stumbled upon this , I’m glad we did . Quirky 50s diner style bus parked in a lay-by. It was clean the food was very good and reasonably priced. The staff were pleasant, love these kind of places . 5* to yourselves.

We’ve driven past the diner many times on our way to/from the M5 and finally managed a more leisurely journey that allowed us to stop for a late breakfast. We weren’t the only ones either as there were no spare tables and they were catering for takeaway orders too. It does exactly what it says on the tin: even though it was busy the food and drinks were served promptly and the staff don’t skimp on the portion sizes either. The quality is good, great value for money and we left vowing to return.

Just stopped to get our children some toasties and this is what we received. Unfortunately on the road again so couldn’t take it back.

We had a lovely breakfast here yesterday. The food was served quickly and was delicious. The staff are friendly & welcoming and we will definitely visit again when in the area.

Called here today and enjoyed cheese and onion toastie and a large bread roll with sausage,bacon and egg. Very friendly owner and lovely food. Will definitely return and recommend to others.

We stopped at The Cotswold Diner on our way to Burford for the weekend. Very tasty sausage and bacon roll and reasonably priced, would definitely recommend and visit again

Great food and lovely people! A unique dining experience on the go and highly recommend to everyone. The belly buster baguette is a must try!

lovely setting/idea but quality of food very poor, staff friendly but why ruin what has great potential by buying really cheap food. Such a pity!

Pass this place all the time and only stopped today as we needed a drink. Ended up eating here. It was clean warm and welcoming. Highly recommended and very different.

I’ve driven past this diner weekly since 2017 and never stopped off my loss. The menu is extensive with many choices and options nothing is to much to ask of the very helpful friendly staff from menu options to how you want your meal served. They are equipped to take card which is a bonus and there is a disabled access porta loo to. They offer armed forces discount as well

Good food and a generous serving at a good price. Great setting too! A really authentic place. Owners are always happy too!

Un encantador autobús convertido, justo el trabajo para tomar una copa después de un paseo por el camino de Cotswold. Demasiado tarde para comer algo, ya que cierra a las 2 pm, pero lo tendremos en cuenta para la próxima vez. Estaba completamente lleno cuando pasamos la primera vez, y esa es generalmente la señal de un buen lugar para comer.

Visité con un amigo y nuestros 3 hijos para el almuerzo. Nuestra fiesta tenía hamburguesas, una tostada y un BLT. Todo estaba delicioso, bien presentado, la buena calidad y el tamaño de las porciones eran excelentes. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Hubo un flujo constante de clientes todo el tiempo que estuvimos allí, lo que siempre es una buena señal. El servicio fue muy amable, los propietarios son encantadores y el autobús es un entorno muy limpio y peculiar. Definitivamente volveremos, gracias!

Qué gusto encontrar este lugar al mediodía en una caminata por los Cotswolds. Realmente no sentí que tenía tiempo para detenerme, pero una vez que lo vi lo hice. Solo pedí una hamburguesa con queso, pero fue la mejor hamburguesa que comí en Inglaterra. No hay exageración. Creo que se referían a él como un "gusto", pero tenía una salsa roja y dulce que nunca había comido en una hamburguesa, y fue increíble.El interior temático estadounidense me hizo sentir como en casa, pero la amable dueña podría haberlo hecho sola. Ella era toda una sonrisa, bienvenida, e incluso señaló las monedas de la edición especial Paddington Bear que me regaló como parte de mi cambio de vuelta. Si alguna vez pasa por Seven Springs, intente hacer una parada en el Cotswold Diner. Gran servicio, ambiente y comida.

Been past it a couple of times with only minimal notice. This time we needed food and drink. What a great place. Well organised, great baguette bread for surrounding bacon and sausage or bacon and egg. All in all a great experience.

What a little gem, breakfast was really good, great sausages amd bacon. Staff were so friendly. Would recommend.

First time stopping here, definitely will not be last. Scrambled eggs on toast with bacon was excellent and the service was great thank you so much for making my morning better. I will be there again soon and I will let my colleagues know as well. Once again many thanks.

Called in on a wet miserable day with my three year old grand daughter. We were made very welcome and the grand daughter was given colouring sheets and crayons. the food was brilliant and the service first class

An old coach turned into a static diner. They serve great value freshly brewed filter coffee and cakes. Two coffees and a flapjack for under £4 is pretty good and worth a u-turn at the roundabout

Another fantastic place to stop and eat. Staff very friendly and helpful, very clean. Food great, would recommend anyone to stop here for something to eat.

Highly recommended, stopped for breakfast as we are travelling towards London.Great to see support for the Forces.

Friendly welcome. Good food (but limited choices for veggies or vegans). A great independent alternative to the McDonaldised Starbuxified alternatives on offer.

Quality food, quick service, acres of parking right by the road. You should franchise this idea ! Been here many times for a hearty top up.

Very friendly service.clean and welcoming diner.Great toasted sarnie with lattes.we call in every time we come home from Hereford

Great retro place in an old bus. We've got a crunchy cheese and onion toastie, lovely. Burger was tasty as well.

Great food, service and atmosphere. We both had full English breakfast our children had BLT’s. All delicious, well cooked, friendly staff. Will definitely be back, would highly recommend a stop off at the Cotswold dinner bus.

Eaten here on many occasions. The Cotswold Diner is situated on a large lay-by at the junction of the A435 and the A436. Plenty of parking and it serves fabulous food through the day. Yesterday I enjoyed the full English which is a large plate of cooked breakfast washed down with tea or coffee. Everything was really well cooked, service is always very friendly and the prices are good given the excellent quality. Having walked the Cotswold Way a few years ago it is also great to see the diner after the long walk from Winchcombe, the last place we refuelled beforehand was on Cleeve Hill. Living locally we visit once a week (sometimes more) but it’s great to see all the tourists taking photos outside and I side the diner and clearly enjoying what is on offer. Hope Neil and Maria keep up the good work and do go and make the effort to visit... sooo worth it!

Stopped off here on my way to Cheltenham for a spot of breakfast last Thursday morning. It’s a converted bus that’s quiet unique. All a bit cramped, but nice and clean. The lady, who I think was the owner was very pleasant and polite. The standard breakfast was, however disappointing. Sausages were very poor quality and the bacon was over cooked. Tomato wasn’t cooked. Fried egg was hard with a solid yoke. Might give it a go again in the hope that the food will be better.

Somehow this place has good reviews. I wouldn’t be back and certainly wouldn’t recommend. It’s a glorified food van but at a higher price!

Food was either undercooked or over cooked, waste of money and time. I wouldn’t feed it to my dog. Mushrooms was over cooked, grilled tomato was raw, eggs were burnt underneath. Bacon and sausage was pre cooked and obviously held in a hot hold ( not hot enough) tables were dirty

This is a great stopping place for food. The character is great inside and the staff/ owners are lovely. I am a regular here and will continue to be so

Called in for brunch and found good friendly service and good wholesome food at very reasonable prices.

Always friendly and fun to visit. Food is good value and pretty swift. One of our favorite breakfast bites.

If you turn up the A40 and stop immediately you wont be able to turn around, you would have missed one of the best roadside breakfast in the UK.I don't say that lightly, good food, service with a smile in a bus just to jog the memory.What more is there to say!

In a converted bus in a layby. Popular with truckers and passers by. Decided to have a freshly cooked sausage and egg baguette. Did not disappoint and lived up to the reviews I have heard. Reasonably priced and you can even eat inside the bus at the tables built in. Lovely friendly staff and fantastic food.

Me and my other half had a quick breakfast stop while on our way to oxford (after seeing many other great reviews). I have to say we were not disappointed, I had the best beans and cheese on toast (very adventurous lol) and the other half had an amazing BLT. The tea was also the best I’ve had in a long time ! Spotlessly clean , friendly staff , amazing comfort food , and a very unique venue. We will be going out of our way to visit again !

As we boarded the vintage double decker bus, we was greeted by smiling faces and fresh coffee. The queue was small and the baguettes were big! A perfect place for a quick coffee or a big breakfast. The staff offer 50% forces discount which is also a bonus.

Belly buster was unreal, 100% worth stopping for. 50% Military discount was brilliant. Thanks again guys.

I always stop here when passing. Great scoff, friendly staff and clean novel bus! Oh and a 50% forces discount! Thankyou so much!

On way back from hospital decided to grab a bacon roll or something. This is an excellent diner. Great seating, great selection of cooked food and snacks. Clean , tidy and friendly. Professional as well. As an extra bonus the bacon rolls were great.

We stopped here on the way to Devon, very friendly welcome and good food. Loved the quirky nature of having our breakfast on a red bus! Well worth the stop would definitely go again.

Camping nearby and popped in specifically for breakfast - certainly not disappointed. Delicious full english breakfast, good quality ingredients. Added bonus of the diner being an old converted bus in American style. What's not to like! Well worth a visit.

We had a delightful full-English breakfast here last week that would satisfy the hungriest person. The service was very friendly and the food is cooked to order so no problem with changes to the food offered. The décor inside was brilliant with the booths made from old bus seats together with posters & car plates so typical of a proper US diner. Have often seen this diner when passing but had never stopped for anything to eat before. We shall definitely be visiting again.

So on a journey I had not eaten any breakfast, and was desperate for a cup of tea and something hot.

Whilst dying of starvation en route to Gloucester i spotted this life saving stop at the end of a road. Very glad that i did as breakfast was superb and the location was even better.

Stopped here a couple of times now on way to Oxford for work just an amazing staff are friendly only had a coffee each time but food looks great definitely recommend

If you are traveling through here, make sure to stop here and grab a ice-cold drink or a delicious hot meal ! Can't say you have been in the area and haven't visited this unique fifties-style diner bus!!! Takes you right back into the fifties, and if you weren't born yet you can get a feel how it was back then!

Dropped in to the Cotswold Diner after visiting Ian Coley Shooting School which is just up the road (staff there recommended we try the Cotswold Diner).

Visited this place specifically after driving past it numerous times en route to other places. Just has a cool look to it.

Stopped here on our way to London. It is a fantastic place and is constantly busy. Very clean, food comes quickly and I had a regular breakfast and was a good size. I certainly recommend anyone stopping here.

Quick service, excellent basic food, very welcoming-strongly recommend for a quick snack on the go-will be back soon

Stopped here for a breakfast this week and what a great breakfast it was.Freshly cooked with the presentation as good as what you would expect at a 4* Hotel.

We regularly treat ourselves to breakfast at The Diner. We only live a mile or so away so it’s ideally placed for us. What’s lovely is the food is consistently great, fabulous service and a really clean environment. The team there are super friendly too. So much so that for the last 2 years my daughter, now 12 has insisted she has her Birthday brunch there. 10 of us rocked up this week, not a problem, and we got a birthday cake thrown in too! Absolutely great place. Thank you The Cotswold Diner!

We stopped for a bite to eat at The Cotswold Diner Ltd after having a business meeting in the area. It looked so inviting and we were really hungry. Great stopping off point and nicely presented inside. We were made really welcome by the owners and would recommend anyone travelling past to stop and get a bite to eat with a really warm welcome

I never miss an opportunity to stop at The Cotswold Diner when I’m passing, so called in for a quick brunch.

Popped in here with my trucker mate for breakfast and it was lovely. The only downside is the amount of seating if you time it wrong. Other than that it was a good breakfast and can understand why it gets busy. Definitely recommend and would come back again.

What an absolute delight! Without a doubt one of the best breakfasts around! I have been visiting Neil’s for years and it’s been wonderful to experience the transformation to the site as it is now! Neil’s dedication to presentation and quality has shone through over the years! Nice one mate!!!!

We came across this little diner as we were walking the Cotswold Way on a dreary, rainy day. We were so happy to sit in a cozy booth and have a cup of tea and a great burger! The waitress was extremely busy but warm and friendly. Most booths were full and there was a steady stream of people waiting for take out. Our only complaint is that there's only one of these along the Cotswold Way. We'd love to see one every five miles or so!

Absolute hero, fantastic use of a bus, great service and great food!! I couldn’t have gotten to work without you!! Thank you!

We came upon the Cotswold Diner while walking the Cotswold Way. We ordered sandwiches and tea then realized we did not have money. We tried to cancel our order, but the folks at the Cotswold Dinner insisted on feeding us. The food and tea were great. I appreciate their kindness. Thank you.

Stopped here today after a long morning on the road, I was expecting the usual cheap rubbish but was surprised with the quality of the food and cheerful staff, I had a bkn cheese burger which came fully loaded and was really tasty, impressed.

We were lost in the Cotswolds and it was way past our lunchtime - then we spotted it - The Cotswold Diner ! We went straight ln , loveiy bus diner, very clean with great menu. We had 2 regular breakfasts (for lunch, but that was fine). Excellent meal, then we were on or way. Thank you Cotswold Diner *****

What a pleasant surprise to find this lovely diner on the Cotswoldstrail! Very friendly staff. The lady even gave me a lift to my hotel. Thank you so much for that.

Well, what a great place, best cafe I've visited in years, food cooked as requested (crispy bacon) for me and a latte. Spot on, always served with a smile, cheers Neil and Maria

Stopped off for a late breakfast on a drive thru the Cotswolds, don't let the location put you off, we had the best bacon baguettes ever, mine with mushrooms hubbies with sausage, lovely fresh bread and very well cooked bacon, mushrooms and sausage. Served by a lovely helpfully girl. If the weather is nice pop and sit outside and get a fab view over the countryside. Will definitely be stopping off again

I first stumbled across this place in 2014 and was so happy. It's a really unique little place, the staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. They've really got everything so right. I'll always keep returning back here whenever I'm in the area.

We make special trips to the Cotswold Diner.Great atmosphere,friendly helpful staff,lovely view no matter what the weather and really good food.

Visiting The Cotswold Diner seems to have become an annual event as it is the half way point on our journey to Cornwall providing us with the perfect breakfast stop. This year we enjoyed the same very friendly and efficient service in an interesting and quirky venue. We would highly recommend and will no doubt return next year.

An oasis on the Cotswold Way trail. Provided great food, toilet facilities and a unique haven from the rain while walking the trail.

Found this place almost by accident. Certainly not your usual lay-by food. The venue is unusual but great fun. Although on a rather noisy road, inside the bus was fine. Not sure about sitting outside though.

If you are hiking the Cotswold trail, be sure to stop for lunch at the Cotswold Diner. It is parked on the side of the road near Seven Springs. There is a sign on the trail. What a welcome sign that was as it just started raining. My spouse and I had a great lunch in this charming bus converted to a road side diner! The owners were so friendly too!

The diner is placed just off the Cotswold way, so perfect for a quick lunch.

Unexpected find walking the Cotswold way and perfect timing on a long days walk Delicious toasted sandwich - just what we all needed - even an immaculate portaloo ! Lovely owners A real gem

What a lovely surprise having a bus as a café. We stopped here on our way to London and it was a lovely place to stop and break up the journey. Very good service, lovely sausage baguette and was a lovely spot to have the bus café.

I love these places .... quirky and quaint !

Lovely quality cup of tea... Tetley, not happy shopper. Lovely quality bacon in fresh roll... Lovely service and a 5 star hygiene rating. This is a premium road stop and is recommended.

Stopped on the way home from Cornwall to Warwickshire . Good quick service had a bacon and egg bagettue, cooked to order and fresh bread.

Excellent mix of quality quick food and value for money from staff passionate about service. As a bonus cleanest portals I have ever used.

Came here earlier today for a bacon sarnie and a coffee before my husband set off to walk a section of the Cotswold way. We had read of the Diner before hand and thought we'd try it out. It was smaller inside than we had expected but the service was quick, the food well cooked and tasty and the price just right. We are due to do another section of the walk in the other direction in a few weeks and we'll definately be back but with the whole family next time. Breakfast in a bus! What fun

Dads birthday treat involved a visit to this lovely themed diner. The atmosphere food and staff were all excellent. It has a great buzz we loved it and we will stop in often..

Came across the diner on our way to Burford and what a find. Such a novel way to have breakfast and the food was well cooked and owners very friendly. Pop in if you're in the area as u won't regret it!

Stopped for my 45 min breakfast break. Looks a very nice place and the people seem nice. I thought it a tad overpriced for what it was. It's not very often I leave a breakfast. But the bacon and egg had obviously been cooked on top of where the black pudding had been cooked. Because if there is one thing I can't stand is black pudding. The sausage wasn't all that nice either. For 1 egg 2 bacon 2 sausage beans 1/2 grilled tomato 1 slice of bread cost £5. Unfortunately not the best I've had. Sorry. I couldn't recommend it to any of my trucker mates.

Called in on the way through from London to gloucester.This place is an oasis the foods (we had breakfast) brilliant and competitively priced .It was a lovely day so sat outside even though it's at the side of the road the view is cracking .Their was even a guy outside carving wood which added to the ambience. The tea and coffee were excellent. The staff were polite courteous and really nice to the kids .A big ps try their muffins and flapjacks wrapped and great to take on the onward journey. Highly recommended will definitely be stopping there again

Stopped due to extremely heavy traffic and found a great little diner! Tasty food and reasonable pricing make this place a good stopping point!

The Cotswold Diner catered for our officials and competitors at Cheltenham and District Dog Training Club annual dog show again this year. Lovely food, efficient service and friendly staff - everyone always asks to make sure we are having them back again each year! :) Thank you again!

Seen this mobile (old coach ?) cafe in the lay-by at Seven Springs junction for some time and decided to call in and give it a go. We both had bacon sandwiches with egg and a coffee. Very quick service, good value, food was tasty and well presented.

We were walking the Cotswold Way, and through bad planning did not have a lunch packed on this particular day in July. We came off the path and found the Cotswold Diner. We sat outside at one of the tables, and ate some delicious sandwiches. The sky opened up, and we rushed inside where we enjoyed a lovely latte until the storm passed over. This is a lovely converted bus, owned by a friendly couple. The whole experience was just fantastic. These four walkers from Vancouver were very impressed!! Don't miss it if you are on the Cotswold Way.

I drive many miles all over UK and as a rule do not use roadside diners and prefer to take my own snacks. I used this diner last year and was impressed, and now make an effort to divert to ensure I pass by and stop for a bacon baguette and the best mug of tea I have tasted, whenever I can.

Normally we would not stop for lay-by food but looking for a quick breakfast snack en-route to the Upton-on Severn Blues Festival last weekend, we stopped off at The Cotswold Diner in a lay-by at Seven Springs. It is a tiny cafe in a converted bus and what made us stop was that it looked very clean and shiny. There are tables and chairs outside and diner style seating inside. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast food was cooked to order, plentiful and good quality. You can eat in or take away.

We live about 10 minutes drive away, so thought we better try it out after driving past so many times. We arrived on a saturday morning for breakfast. My husband ordered the £5 breakfast and myself (being a vege) ordered a cheese salad baguette. We were suprised to see hash browns are not on the menu!

Stopped en route home from a mornings shooting. My first visit though ive driven by several times. I wont drive by again without popping in for a snack. The diner is stacked out in americana and is very attractive. The staff are excellent, attentive and polite. The food is all first rate.. Its a great experience do drop in if youre passing you wont be disappointed...

Called in lunch time today nice big layby in the countryside with great views . Lovely clean bus cooking all your roadside favs fresh hot and tasty. Great staff good choice of meals and very good section of coffee. Good value for money will stop again .

Following our first visit last year and on our way to an overnight camp my daughter and I again called in to have breakfast. Huge portions well cooked and in spotless surroundings. Reading a paper whilst tucking into black pudding and all the rest is the only way to start a day and put oneself into holiday mood.

Just stopped there for breakfast, 5 star for cleanliness and food is amazing, big,no huge portions. 50% off for military, which is wonderful. The couple who run it, are just so nice, they make it a good experienece too. Will make it a regular visit

Walkers on the Cotswold Way will catch a glimpse of this fantastic converted bus through the hedge as they approach Seven Springs. Food/drinks are available to eat in or take away and we enjoyed tea and a lovely breakfast baguette during our wait for the bus back to Cheltenham, but there is much more on offer. Definitely worth calling, whether walking or driving.

Stopped in on our way to the Cheltenham festival. This is the simplest idea but it just works, it's fantastic.
