The Eliot Arms Restaurant in Cotswold

Had a pint and food unfortunately did not stay there but and its a big but if the food is anything to go by it's a gem. The service is great but the food, home made lamb pie and the lamb shank just fell off the bone one of the best that I have had in a long time just wish that I lived closer it's a must go do eat and be happy 😊👋👋👋👋 to the chef or chef's 10/10 well done....

Lovely setting for a quiet drink with friends. Will definitely be back.

We went to the Eliot arms for a roast dinner, whilst on holiday, which did not disappoint. We had the mixed meat roast which was very good. As a preference I'd like my potatoes crispier, but really, I can't complain! So much so we would go back when in the area again, and would recommend. The crumble was by far one of the best and most tasty we have had out. The mint sauce was the best we've had out and really added to the meal, I wouldn't usually bother with it, but ate it with everything on my plate as it tasted vibrant and fresh. I love a good selection of veg with a roast and definitely got this at the Eliot Arms. Each food on the plate had it's own flavour and was very tasty. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I like the character of the building which is higgledy piggledy inside with little eating areas divided up nicely. I felt this gives it a cosy quality, which we enjoyed rather than feeling thrown into one massive room. I really valued that they hadn't over crowded the tables and crammed extra in. If you have accessibility needs I would phone in advance as the ground floor had a couple of single steps and I didn't notice a disabled toilet. There was a disabled parking bay in the car park. They have a coffee machine which is good. I would recommend, since the food is of a high standard that it would be nice to offer a good quality hot chocolate. I noticed the famous purple brand beginning with a C but wouldn't say that is a quality of drink which reflects the pub and the rest of their produce. Though I do understand that drinks are often an add on or afterthought for many pubs and restaurants, for me it is the kind of thing I would indulge in after a meal (we were not rushed to leave after eating by staff at all so I don't feel that's the reason). A decent hot drink when staying in a hotel I feel is also a bonus that adds to the comfort. Apologies, the photo I have attached is not the pub's presentation as I'd already begun to eat and took the photo for my mum, not this. I thought it may help people see what's available and how vibrant the veg is.

Brilliant service and amazing food!

Absolutely wonderful place! Room was cosy with an extremely comfortable bed. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Plenty of walks and things to do in the local area, would definitely stay again. 👍

We stopped by as a group of 10 children and adults, a welcomed rest after a big walk! On ordering, the gentlemen serving was really helpful with allergies and alternative meals, as they were out of gluten free pasta. It was agreed my son would have a chicken burger with an alternative bun (as it contained egg). I was feeling confident. On serving the food, the lady delivering it brought 2 chicken burgers that looked identical to the table and said 'that's the different one' and promptly left. When she brought the next lot of food, I questioned this as was expecting one bun to be different, her response was very curt and dismissive, as if allergies were an inconvenience to her. My 4 yr old having a life threatening allergy, is not something I take lightly. Eventually, on the 3rd trip back out, once the food was already cold, she confirmed they were identical and both safe, again she was very rude in her tone. I appreciate they were busy, but this is no excuse. Overall the food was good, but I could not relax and enjoy the experience. The lady needs upskilling on her allergy awareness!

It was a lovely hotel, definitely recommend We stay till 12pm because we think check out at 12pm but it’s 11:00, but no one have been rude about this and very polite, thank you Thomas and lady who be very helpful and polite We stay with our dog, they are dog friendly 🧡 We definitely coming back Thank you

Had a really nice pizza and a pint on Sunday evening. Was lovely to find something open on a Sunday evening.

Highly recommended for B&B Lovely room excellent food great breakfast great pub.

Really nice pub. Good food and drink, friendly service

Stopped by while walking through the Cotswolds and received really great service. Despite the kitchen closing a little before we walked in, they made an allowance for us and served up a delicious sandwich. There was even a bowl of water served up for the dog! Lovely place, will definitely be back!

Sunday Roast !!! Lovely different to the usual Staff very pleasant Tried a new 0 Beer 😁😁 Definitely going again 😃 Coffee a pleasant suprise too

Lovely pub, next to the river, lots of outdoor seating. A great place for a quiet pink and a meal. Really nice on the inside with friendly staff and great drinks selection.

Booking handled in a very friendly but professional manner. Welcomed and shown to same large secluded table as we had last time. Again everyone enjoyed their food with special praise, this time, for the desserts (sticky toffee pud. and brownie). Servers were excellent - friendly and attentive but above all, considering our number, extremely patient (once more, 'A big thank you for that).

We stayed at this delightful pub for 4 days dinner, bed and breakfast in late August. We were very happy with our room with a very comfortable bed and everything in the room provided for our stay. The food was very good with plenty of choice,and we were well looked after by the staff who were friendly and helpful. The only issue on Sunday they don't serve meals in the evening but the late lunch was delicious. Breakfast on Monday morning was slow as a member of staff was off sick and they cook everything individually to order. We would happily return.

The food was really good but the lady with dark hair that served us was truly one of the rudest people I have come across in hospitality. She literally rolled her eyes at me when I asked to amend one of the orders , she had a young guy training with her he was lovely but the way she spoke to him & us was appalling. We have had a problem here before with a previous manager and we didn’t go back for a year but thought we would try it again, just seems they have swapped one rude manager for another. It’s a shame it’s local and a really nice pub, but when I go out and pay good money for food, drinks and service I don’t expect to be made to feel uncomfortable. I couldn’t wait to get out of there, like I say the food is good but why the staff keep reminding you the kitchen is closing (same last year) is beyond me?

This was the best BLT I had in England - super fresh and tasty. The food was fabulous and the service awesome. We will go a long way out of our way to go back when we can.

The rooms at this pub are very nice. We stayed for the Gloucester Vintage Steam Rally and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was one of the better full English breakfasts I've had in a long while and the size was generous. I would happily stay again.

Gezellige pub, die professioneel wordt beheerd. Eerlijke, smakelijke gerechten. Sommige zijn echte uitschieters: de huisbereide hamterrine, de gegrilde makreel. Van de sirloin steak (met perfecte frietjes) waren we minder enthousiast. Zeer scherpe prijzen voor het eten, normale prijzen voor de drank

I visited this pub/restaurant with 10 friends. It is a very quaint, cosy country pub with a high standard restaurant. We had a variety of lunches which in the main was enjoyed by all. The only complaint I heard was about the Lemon Tart as apparently the pastry was a bit soggy and the filling wasn't very lemony. The 3-courses I had were very tasty albeit a bit pricey. The staff were very friendly, polite, helpful and professional

First time visit since the refurbishment and change of owner. Sunday lunch was excellent and being local we will return and recommend it to our holiday lodge guests. We have revisited and were not disappointed. Service and food was excellent.

Can't comment on the rooms, as we didn't stay. But I'm sure their lovely. So after a bit of a mix up with our booking, the rest of the evening was great. Party of 9 of us had a fab meal here last night. Great pub, great location, fabulous food. Service was outstanding and friendly. Very clean and cosy restaurant. Would thoroughly recommend and return.

A bit mixed. Lunch time pint one day was excellent despite the cold weather. Next day the pint was as good but sat inside and a couple of locals were too loud and the language left a lot to be desired.

We were staying at the water park and so came here for our last night’s meal. Although most of us enjoyed our food, we had a vegetarian with us and were very disappointed that there was only one option for them. The portion size and choice wasn’t that great for a 22 year old male and we had to spend another £7 on chips to bulk it out.

Great place for a get together for Sunday lunch. Food very nice. Staff very attentive. Parking a tad tight.

Sunday menu only roasts & 1 vegetarian option, expensive for a Sunday roast.

Great outdoor space at this pub next to the river so a perfect place to stop for a light lunch on a sunny afternoon, enjoyed great drinks and a fantastic charcuterie board with home made piccalilli and a good cheese selection.

We didn’t stay here but we had an amazing meal and couple of drinks! Can’t wait to come back defo pick the steak it’s worth it 😃

Nice evening meal. Extremely good service.

Wonderful pub with a good variety of ale. Definitely recommended.

Very pleasant stay, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The food in the restaurant was excellent. We would definitely stay at the Elliot Arms again.

Brilliant host, the food was hot and well presented.

Really cosy restaurant, nicely decorated & attentive staff. Food was excellent, great quality, generous portion size & extremely tasty. Would definitely return.

Charming pub, nice rooms, very helpful staff. All in a lovely location.

Stayed 3 nights, fantastic. Really lovely room. Breakfast was outstanding. Dinner good too. Lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

Went for Sunday lunch, lovely atmosphere to restaurant. Great service. Very good choice of menu and very tasty. Well worth a visit.

Went for a late Sunday afternoon Sunday lunch approx 3pm. Location lovely. Price a bit on the high side. The food although mostly tasty just was a little cold/tepid for me instead of piping hot. Potatoes were crunchy fluffy inside. Gravy lovely and rich. Tender stem broccoli overdone Beef perfect, lamb a bit fatty Parsnip underdone and a little bland Red cabbage and cauli cheese very nice Service was excellent

Great food. Friendly service. Booked to go back for birthday Sunday lunch, which was excellent. Rib of beef was delicious and good selection of vegetables.

We got together as 6 friends for a catch up lunch and couldn’t have picked a better central location. The staff were all fantastic super efficient and very helpful. We had starters and mains and they were all delish and very well presented. The glassware for wine and water were beautiful! Loads of cosy areas within the pub to dine in small or larger groups. Will be visiting again

Beautiful county pub! Group of 4 for Sunday lunch. Very attentive service, good roast potatoes, massive Yorkshire’s and very colourful veggies! Update: Went back a year later for 5 people. Really good roast. Standard may have improved! Same waitress as last year, she’s amazing. So attentive. We’ll be back again next year!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and a great selection of food on the menu. I recently visited for a business lunch and was really impressed - I will be going back!

Great little pub in the village. Decent selection of drinks. Warm atmosphere. Friendly staff.

It's a pub that shut at 9.30pm 🙄

Very nice place for lunch. Food was excellent. The staff very pleasant. Just sorry we didn't have room for desert!

Lovely pub, very charismatic and great surroundings.

Amanda and the team are absolutely fantastic, a perfect balance of friendly and professional - such a lovely ambience. The food was simply exquisite, we stayed for 2 nights and wished it could have been longer so we could have tried more! 🤣 Truly delightful visit - thank you ♥️

Excellent refurbished pub with a wonderful bedroom and excellent food. Staff all very friendly. Breakfast cooked to order and location ideal.

Really good food (Large Portions - esp Fish & Chips) and nice atmosphere. Staff very friendly and prompt. The waitress forgot one of our side dishes and gave a discount for that which they didn't need to. Will be back in the future.

We called in for a light lunch after a local walk and we’re so impressed with the Eliot. The food and staff were spot on. The bar and restaurant areas were cosy and inviting

A very enjoyable Sunday lunch for a big family party. Staff courteous and made us feel welcome. Roast dinner was very tasty with assortment of vegetables.

Very attractive surroundings, good service, and a nice selection of food made for an enjoyable pub lunch with friends. Could have done with one or two more vegetarian choices on the menu, but everything we had was tasty.

The staff clearly like working here , they were having a good banter and they made us feel very welcome. The interior was very nice, and it felt calm and peaceful, but it did not make up for what I’m about to share with you… I was very disappointed to say we had two starters of calamari between four of us. We were lucky to scrape two pieces each and I felt it was a lot of money for what we had. Moving to the main courses while the options were extensive, we were all disappointed with what we had. My friend, opted for a fish pie. It was listed as served with green vegetables. It’s actually arrived with cauliflower and it looked an appealing and boring. The staff member said she could get some beans to my disappointment. It was not recovered well at all because I was actually charged for them and truthfully. How do I notice that on my bill at the time, I would have mentioned my disappointment. My friend had a risotto. She reported it as planned. My other friend had a salad he rated it was nothing special, and I can’t even remember what my main course was even though it was two months ago because I came away feeling it was absolutely average whatever I had! On that basis, considering it was £140 I felt ripped off and I would not return .

Terrine still had Cling-Film around it. The bread required butter but was unable to request it as no staff asked if everything was ok. A brace of duck eggs was in fact two chicken eggs. The Delice was underwhelming. It was ok.

The recent refurbishment has been a success resulting in beautiful surroundings, the food is excellent and yet quite expensive and the staff are lovely, however, the management have now lost control totally in relation to a group of young males who display a constant disdain towards basic manners, norms, values and acceptable behaviour. In just two nights recently, I witnessed members of the aforementioned group drinking in the beer garden without shirts on, upsetting fellow customers within the bar with extremely loud antisocial behaviour including the regular use of offensive language, rudeness towards members of staff and finally directed verbal crude abuse towards myself whilst I was ordering at the bar. I have appealed to the management on different occasions for control measures to be implemented in relation to this group, but they are clearly Ill equipped and/or far too intimidated to offer any support. It is with regret that myself, my partner and a number of close friends will now be taking our loyalty (and money) to alternative establishments. We wish the Eliot Arms good luck for the future with their ‘chosen’ clientele! ☹️

Long awaited family/friends get together accommodated with large table tucked away comfortably to one side - welcomed and looked after really well - food mentions included the terrine starter and the 'lovely' lamb main course - at the end of the evening comment was made as to how much everybody had enjoyed it.

We were at The Eliot Arms for six days. The place is immaculate, very clean and recently renovated to high standards. The food was very good, we could not fault it. We tried most of the menu between the two of us and were never disappointed. The staff are friendly and efficient. The breakfast menu is varied and started our days off on a very good note every morning. Highly recommend this little gem in South Cerney.

A bit of a maze of rooms but very cosy and a pleasant place to dine. The menu had a good choice and there was a reasonable wine list. I particularly enjoyed having a whole fish which is not available at so many restaurants. Service was good so I felt well looked after.

A fabulous lunch sat in the front courtyard area with our besties. We initially went to the Royal Oak but it was closed, then headed to the George. As we pulled up we preferred the up market feel and ambiance at Elliot’s so headed there. The food was great and service was top notch. A couple of us had smoked salmon sandwiches with side of chips which as fantastic. Will be heading here on our next visit. 😎

We stayed here for 2 nights. We had a lovely welcome and all the staff were very friendly. The rooms were very clean and decorated to a high degree. The food was excellent and we would definitely come again.

Fantastic food and hospitality. Busy on a Monday evening means that they have a great reputation and rightly so.
