The Farmers Arms in Cotswold - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely sunny walk from Guiting Power and back again followed by a splendid lunch at this very welcoming pub. One to definitely return to.

Terrible garden!! Cement mixer in the corner, broken chairs, washing line up still with washing out 😂 also dirty ashtrays, this was early evening . If they can't look after the garden.... Who knows what the kitchen is like!!!!

Very welcoming, jovial host. Comfortable warm atmosphere. Great food, easily accommodated my gluten free requirements on both visits.

A much improved, honest locals’ pub that caters well with walking groups and other visitors. New owners since late 2021 have really smartened everything up. Our walking group praised the lunch options, portions and low prices – service was first class too. There are expensive ‘gastro’ pubs nearby but the Farmers Arms is a much better bet for most people.

The Farmers Arms is situated in a typically scenic Cotswold village, up in the hills above Winchcombe. Whilst being a splendid building in its own right, its appearance still belies what is within. A large bar / dining area and separate dining area also, with a skittle alley too. We visited as a classic car group (pre planned) for a morning coffee and snack stop. We received a very warm welcome. Tom and Liz looked after us superbly and everyone in our party talked of our visit in high praise afterwards. We returned the following day, Sunday, for an evening meal. Again, extremely friendly and very efficient. Meals were promptly served and greatly enjoyed, at reasonable cost. I can thoroughly recommend the stroganoff- a varied menu for a ‘pub in the middle of nowhere’. Also, very busy, which is telling in itself. Highly recommended and all of us said we shall certainly be returning during our annual rally next year.

Had fish and chips for £18. Very disappointed!. Chips were French fries that seemed to have been warmed from lunch time, fish was dry and batter well overdone. The beer seemed flat (Cotswolds gold the only beer I drink). Lukewarm!. For the price I paid I could have got succulent battered cod thick cut chips cooked to perfection within the Cotswolds area for the same price. I know this as I live in the area. I have been here also and had Sunday carvery which was spot on. Couldn’t fault it.

We have never tried here so thought we would book a table. Food was fantastic, staff were so attentive and very polite. This is going to be our new “go to” for good pub food

Recently had a makeover - Sunday lunches are fabulous. Superb meat and a large choice of veg. Despite the pub being busy the service was great and very helpful.

Stopped off for a lunch break and found this an excellent friendly pub. A standard pub menu but very well cooked and presented The home made warm Scott’s egg was outstanding Well recommended

Sunday lunch for a family gathering (6 adults, 2 teenagers, 2 children). A friendly traditional country pub in a picturesque Cotswold village. Whilst the children enjoyed their meals from the Children’s Menu, all the others opted for the Carvery. And what an excellent choice to have made. A wide range of unlimited vegetables with gammon, pork and beef on offer. All the good was cooked to perfection , with extremely generous slices of roast meat. I can put hand on heart and say that was the finest pub lunch my family and I have ever enjoyed, (and I’ve had many in my time!) Without a doubt, we will head for the Farmer’s Arms next time we visit the Cotswolds.

Have eaten here several times and continue to be amazed by the great food at really affordable prices. Really friendly village pub atmosphere and Guiting Power is a wonderful base for some fantastic Cotswold walks.

Popped in for a quick bite in what seemed a very rural and local pub. It was heaving, friendly and run by a lovely friendly couple. We only had baguettes but these were lovely and exceptional value. If we had discovered it earlier I would have returned for fish and chips as that looked exceptional. Well kept beer and a place we will return to.

This is a great, local pub. Really friendly landlord, dogs and locals! The food is simple but really tasty and delicious. I can recommend pie of the day and the apple crumble. The log fire tops off the welcoming atmosphere. Great touches like a basket of reading glasses provided with the magazines/reading matter! So wish we had a local like this within walking distance of our home.

This was a birthday lunch for myself and couldn't have been more perfect. Food was amazing and service exemplary. Thank you to you all. We are local and will be back😁

First visit to this Pub and we were very pleased overall. It is one of a number of Pubs that’s associated with Donnington Brewery. We’ve visited a few, unfortunately in recent years a number of them seem to have sought out the higher end of the Tourist trade and in some cases it has lead to a deterioration in value and service. Not the case at the’Farmers’ - it is a traditional, good value Pub. We visited for lunch, although we were towards the end of service and it was quiet they were very accommodating. Food was very good, mostly traditional pub food at good value. Number of locals at the bar , excellent atmosphere and staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely look forward to visiting again.

Last minute booking for a dinner whilst staying in Naunton. The food was lovely and the very tall chef came out and was really nice when he told you the dessert was hot etc. we would definitely visit again. The young lady who served us was alps lovely. Thanks for being my coat up and accepting our dog who (rather vocally) took a shine to yours! Great service and food all round!

The food in the pub was excellent; my son (fussy eater) said the ham, egg and chips was the best he’d ever had! The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere in the pub was great. Good value as well. Would highly recommend.

We stayed in the local area for two weeks and used the farmers a fair bit. It is a brilliant, proper local pub. Fabulous food, especially the Sunday carvery. Very reasonable prices and family friendly. Great beer and cider with a great friendly, warm atmosphere. Plan your country walks around the Farmers for lunch and you won’t go far wrong.

Excellent lunch stop. It’s hard to find a simple sandwich in many local pubs but we don’t want a full meal when in the middle of a walk. The Farmer’s Arms sandwiches (we had Bacon,Brie & Cranberry and Tuna Mayonnaise) are generous and tasty, come with a lovely side salad and are very reasonably priced. Main meals seemed to be too. Beer & service very good - what’s not to like?

We stopped here for lunch before continuing to Stowe on the Wold. This is a lovely "propper" pub, with wonderful welcoming staff. The choices are excellent, from sandwiches to a cooked meal. I had soup which was hot and tasty and the others in our group had bagettes which were extremely well-filled and huge, so make sure you've got a good appetite!! I would definitely go again should I be in that area and would certainly recommend it on all counts.

Beautiful country pub serving good honest pub food. Great portion sizes at a good price. This is clearly a pub for the locals but you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door. Friendly staff who even opened the kitchen 30 minutes early to accommodate our toddler when we didn’t even ask. The added bonus of an outside dining area and a skittles alley which our three year old loved. Would definitely visit again.

Notwithstanding it was a busy bank holiday we were found a table without fuss. Great atmosphere with very friendly staff. Warming real fire with attendant placid labrador to fuss, very homely. All meals arrived in good time and were enjoyed by all. In particular, the...

Lovely, traditional pub in the heart of the Cotswolds. Came here for Sunday lunch before a stroll in the Cotswolds, for a bit of pre-game energy. Luckily enough for us the Farmer's Arms does a cavery, and it was epic! Wonderfully cooked meat, a great...

Welcoming and friendly staff, well kept Donnington beer, excellent value for money food on both visits

A great, proper local pub that will hit the spot for every occasion, meeting with friends, skittles, watching sport, enjoying a special occasion meal or simply popping by for a pint.

Such a warm and friendly welcome from behind and in front of the bar. We were 11 arriving from the cold for unbooked lunch. Space with no fuss and what a hearty meal with choice and served correctly with a smile and just perfect timing;...

What a lovely little cotswold pun. We visited with friends who use this place regularly who say it was good, and they wasn't wrong. The food was awesome and hearty, my husband was delighted with the ales 🍺 the best he has for a long...

Several Donnington beers on cask (the BB is great). I didn't try the food but appeared to be typical pub offerings. Some cozy seating by the fireplace and in corner booths. Fills up with locals every afternoon which shows people keep coming back.

We were staying locally in the Cotswolds for a week and decided to try the Farmers Arms. This is clearly a community pub with a good atmosphere, warm and welcoming. The menu has a good choice of standard dishes, - expecially of desserts - the...

Guiting Power is about 6 1/2 miles from Bourton-on-the-Water and an equal distance from Winchcombe, so it was a perfect place to stop for lunch on our walking tour. The Farmers Arms was perhaps the most authentic English pub we stopped at during our week...

The food here is delicious, so we ate here both nights at we were in the bnb beyond the carpark. The owners and staff are very friendly and welcoming. We even joined in the monthly quiz which was brilliant

On a Sunday night when difficult to find country pubs open had an excellent meal ,excellent staff and atmosphere . Will be back

Used the Farmers Arms whilst stay in Guiting Power , lovely little village pub with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere . There is a varied selection on the food menu and you really get a substantial plate full , as Tom the manager said ,...

We visited the Farmers Arms while staying at the next door Guiting guest house for a 4 day stay. What a fantastic pub! Proper food, beautifully cooked and great value for money. We ate in the evenings and had a carvery Sunday lunch. The hosts...

We found a recommendation for this Inn at the CMHC site at Bourton on the Water, so we gave it a shot. We're not an easy couple to accommodate, as I am disabled and we have three dogs, but they didn't turn a hair. I...

A new team at the farmers Arms in our favourite Cotswolds village. Lovely welcome and food, we only had soup, sandwich and a dessert but each was very tasty and served with a genuine smile. The young girl behind the bar a definite asset to...

Aanrader. Heerlijk eten; niet duur, en heel vriendelijke bediening. Fijne tuin, rustige omgeving. vooral de zondag was leuk; soort zelfbediening...

We arrived early for the Cotswold Park Farm as we were travelling from Surrey and staying 2 nights beware you can’t book in before 4pm but if you do the same as us we found this lovely traditional pub. It was a very warm day...

Everything about this pub was great but particularly the homemade food! Tom, the landlord made us feel very welcome. I had a very delicious chicken curry, my wife a salmon and asparagus quiche, also delicious. Loads of fresh vegetables. Particularly noteworthy was the red cabbage....

Discovered entirely by accident due to a traffic jam in Winchcombe which involved a forced detour. Nice setting. Friendly and cosy inside. Gardens are a sun trap and although some post winter tidying is ongoing, they are a nice place to sit and eat. Sandwiches...

Tom and his crew are terrific. The portions are generous and the food is DELICIOUS. We are visitors from the US hiking through the Cotswolds, and this wonderful pub in this charming village was exactly what we were hoping for on this trip.

Great pub, friendly, we visited today for a quick pint and bite to eat! The bacon,Brie and cranberry sandwich was amazing quality! Highly recommend!

Friendly country pub. We’ve enjoyed the Farmers Cavery Sunday Roast a couple of times this spring. Two meats with great selection of vegetables & good gravy.

Stopped in today for Sunday Lunch. The carvery was superb! Choice of 2 meats, beautifully cooked beef & pork today. The accompanying vegetables all freshly and tasty. All the trimmings. Fantastic value for a top Sunday Roast 👏 would definitely recommend.

A lovely carvery for Mother’s Day - the pork was delicious & all the trimmings were too! The landlords brother is a butcher & supplies all the meat & it’s all very local & the best quality! 3 clean plates & were too full for...

We stopped off at this pub during a 7.5 mile walk and couldn't have made a better choice for lunch! Proper pub grub, very friendly staff and great Donnington's beer. I had the BB and Gold, both of which were in great condition. For lunch...

The restaurant we had planned to visit was closed on Mondays and we happened upon the Farmer's Arms by chance. Smartly refurbished with adequate spacing between tables and a friendly greeting from everyone when we walked in. Very good food, I had Mushroom Stroganoff, my...

Amazing Sunday roast! The best carvery I’ve ever had! Beef was beautifully cooked and the veg were perfect. Gluten free Yorkshires, cauliflower cheese and gravy meant that no one had to miss out on deliciousness. Puddings were lovely and great choice I had homemade bread...

No starters, no desserts, no frills, just beautifully cooked roast dinner. Our first time at this pub but it wont be the last. We both had the roast beef (the other alternatives were roast loin of pork or a veggie option). The beef was tender...

Had a super carvery today, plenty of vegetables, lovely and hot, they even cooked 2 Chicken breasts especially for both our Mums. Great Atmosphere and attentive friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

The Farmers used to be my local, till I moved away. The death of the one of the previous owners was sad indeed. However, now it has new owners. They are locals and doing a brilliant job of all-round improvements. The beer is delicious. The...

Went for a pint and yes it was mediocre but that's because of a pandemic which didn't help.No heaters in garden also no wind breakers to shelter from wind and cold,so overall if we ever go back which I am sure we will then fingers crossed for good weather, or maybe owners may invest in customer comforts such as basic heating and wind breakers.

Very nice food, nice village pub and very friendly, helpful bar staff. Prices very reasonable and desserts very good too. Definitely recommend. Beware though opening hours very limited - kitchen shut at 1.30 when we went.

Tomamos unas copas cada noche de nuestra estadía en Guiting Power en este establecimiento ¡Nunca hemos tenido una bienvenida tan cálida y cordial en ningún lugar! Sandra detrás de la barra es preciosa! Incluso tomamos una copa con Bunty (un tipo local que es un personaje real) ¡Muchas gracias chicos por la cálida bienvenida! Definitivamente volveremos x

Called in for lunch after being let down elsewhere. Donnington ale only but kept well and good price. Basic pub grub but cooked well and good value. The lady behind the bar was very nice. So all good really.

Llegamos después de una caminata excepcional de 6 millas a una cálida bienvenida de la casera. Una chimenea de leña se sumó a la atmósfera acogedora con muebles agradables y un bar bien abastecido. El menú es extenso y está encabezado por una selección de pasteles, incluido el pastel de conejo que eligieron 4 de nuestra parte de 5. Fue realmente excelente y bien vale la pena las 5 estrellas que he otorgado.

This place is great!! The staff are so friendly and so well organized. I regularly go to this pub and it never disappoints. Great food great atmosphere and so reasonably priced. Will call again soon X

This is a good old-fashioned real Cotswold pub, no pretensions, just delicious fresh cooked food at sensible prices, and a warm welcome from the people there, who are lovely. They also have a skittle alley, which they kindly allowed us to enjoy before lunch!

Our dinner and desserts were delicious. The pub was extremely quaint with friendly service and a great bar.

Meals were delicious and very British. We enjoyed lunch and also dinner at this pub. The choice of beverages was a,so good.

God middag på pubben. Dejlig øl og masser af mennesker der skaber et godt miljø. Man kan sidde udenfor.

Arrived about 10 to 2 looking forward to a pint and a bite to eat. Only had one ale on tap but that's ok. Three people were eating silently. I asked the barmaid (even though I didn't think I needed to) if they were serving food and was met with a blank stare and 'I'm not sure, I'll ask'. 'If it's a problem, I'll just have a sandwich', I offered. When she asked the guy in the kitchen, whom I could see, all we got was a terse 'No' and off he stomped. A tired, grim pub in a lovely location. When so many pubs are closing down and others are doing their best to keep going, this one just can't be bothered. An unpleasant experience

Typical country village pub. Nicely decorated. Landlady very friendly. We had evening meal there which was basic and quite expensive for what we had. £10.50 for scampi and chips.

We decided to stop off for dinner and glad we found this place. Food is very tasty and what I would call a traditional pub, what made it a great visit for us was the hosts, so friendly and really made you feel welcome x

We decided to eat out at the last minute. We called the Farmers Arms and they were so good to accommodate us. We had the by now famous rabbit pie and the Steak and Kidney pie topped off with Spotted Dick a rare site on a pub menu. All was cooked beautifully in a traditional how your mum used to cook it sort of way. The young girl behind the bar was so welcoming and helpful. The owners were a pleasure to chat to. Keep it simple works great here. Thank you so much

We first found this pub over twenty years ago and had some great traditional meals in a friendly atmosphere.

We ate her for 2 nights whilst staying in the villiage...the food is beautiful and we both really enjoyed it.A proper old country pub where we felt very welcome and we look forward to returning soon

Guiting Power es un pueblito muy pequeño de los Cotswolds, ajeno al bullicio de las masas turísticas que asolan (y estropean) otras localidades de los Corswolds más afamadas. En esta traquila aldea encontramos The Farmers- Arm, auténtico pub que con sosiego , amabilidad y autenticidad que huye debla glogalización, permite degustar una cocina de pub sabrosa y contundente, y beber estupendas 'ales' de la zona . Si buscas sofistcación, este no es tu lugar. Si prefieres amabilidad casera y buenos y abundantes platos , seguro que te gusta.

We were made to feel so welcome here and the service was really excellent. The place might not look as fancy as other pubs in the area, but it had a really cosy friendly atmosphere, the food was really good, as was the drink selection, and all very reasonably priced. What more could you want?! We’d definitely go back if we were in the area again.

Arrived in Guiting Power to meet friends but needed to find them in the village, were rudely accosted as we parked and felt completely unwelcome so chose not to eat or drink here.

He estado visitando este pub, tal vez tres o cuatro veces al año, durante más años de los que recuerdo, y nunca me ha decepcionado. Sin trucos, no a la moda, solo un pub tradicional, en un pueblo encantador. Buena comida sana (me encanta el pastel de conejo) y las cervezas locales de Donnington. Qué más se puede pedir ?

Pagamos nuestra visita anual a Guiting Power para almorzar y pasear por la zona. El pub atendía a nuestro grupo de 17 personas (habíamos reservado algunas mesas), entregando las opciones de comida muy rápidamente, como de costumbre. La selección también fue buena, variando desde el famoso pastel de conejo hasta la lubina y el sándwich. El servicio estaba a la altura de su alto estándar de calidad y amabilidad. Se mantienen como un gran pub tradicional, incluso se niegan a instalar una máquina Barista para que puedan pasar el tiempo sirviendo a los clientes con sus opciones. Los cafés eran perfectamente buenos y, servido con leche caliente, el sabor era excelente. Este pub seguirá siendo un lugar habitual para nuestro grupo de caminatas y en otras ocasiones también.

Excellent food and hospitality highly recommended. Good choice of food. Husband tried something new rabbit pie which he would recommend

This is a fantastic pub, just how I like them. Great Donnington well kept ale, a wide and varied menu of super tasty dishes all served by the Landlady and her team.

Desde el momento en que llamamos para reservar nuestra mesa hasta el final de nuestra comida, el servicio fue absolutamente excelente! La comida era buena ya los niños les encantó el lugar! Muy a un precio muy razonable y mucho para elegir del menú. Definitivamente volvere.

Cenamos aquí una noche y ambos optamos por el pastel de conejo. Estaba delicioso y venía con patatas fritas, guisantes y salsa. Lo único que tenía en cuenta era la rapidez con que la comida salía de la cocina, pero como digo, era una comida casera encantadora.

I ate here as part of a group and had an excellent rabbit pie with lovely thick gravy. The staff were friendly. I would recommend it.

There are no aires and graces at this pub, but you get great service, good pub food and drinks at a reasonable price.

Very friendly service, a huge and varied range on the menu. The trout was tasty but served so quickly I did wonder if it had been reheated, but it tasted nice, the salad was basic. My husband was happy with his cod cakes. A nice authentic pub. This is a cute little village and worth a visit if driving through.

We attended as a group of four staying locally. I don't think the place has changed in years, that is a good and bad point! Bar was quite dark and beer garden pleasant but hidden out the back. Lady with darker hair was very friendly, the older lady quite grumpy! Meal was OK, nothing special. It did come out very fast, so I do think much of it had been pre-prepared and reheated.

We were having a drive around the Cotswold's and happened across the Farmers Arms. We were met with a very pleasant welcome. We were shown the menu opposite the far up on the wall. We ordered a pork roast and fish and chips. With drinks £28. We sat outside in the beer garden as it was a lovely day. A short 10 minutes ish later and our food was served. It was excellent. We would go again.

We'll, was this a disappointment or what?

In the village for work and popped in to the farmers arms for dinner. I’m vegetarian and I was spoilt for choice but if you are a meat eater you could take a week to decide. Served swiftly and well and all smiles despite a very busy pub. A very family friendly feel.

We had lunch in the Farmers Arms after a five mile walk in the country, so we had built up a good appetite. The portions were really satisfying and the main courses very tasty. Two of us had the rabbit pie and had nothing but praise for it. I had chicken tikka masala and it was very good with chutney and naan bread as well as lovely rice. The fourth in the party had steak and ale pie ... also homemade and tasty.

A really good place to enjoy food and the atmosphere of a quaint village pub. They have such a varied choice of food on the menu it was very difficult to know which one to choose as they were all appetising from traditional homemade dishes to oriental. Our group of ten ate here on our last visit and liked it so much that we all decided to go back again the following evening rather than try another establishment as we all liked it so much.

I have tried here a few times over the years as living nearby but have always been disappointed. Today in need of a quick lunch it was a lot better. The bar was warm and welcoming but very quiet. I had a steak and kidney pie which was a slice from a larger pie but I did find steak and kidney! The meat was a little tough as perhaps it was reheated but it was tasty. It was served with peas which were fine but some of these could have been substituted for say carrots.

A year ago a friend and I were attending a concert at Naunton nearby. We had travelled from Tetbury, and reckoned the pubs in Naunton would be busy as the church where the concerts are held holds about 150 and is always full. We dropped in to the Farmer's Arms without booking and were looked after very well. So when planning to go to a similar event this year we booked a table. We were not disappointed, thought the staff were quite busy with a local shoot it being a Friday evening. The service was timely and pleasant, and we enjoyed what we eat, and got to the concert on time.

Called in on a cycle ride from Bourton in the Water. Really good selection on the board, meat, fish and veggie options. Good value for money.

Was in Farmers Arms for a quick lunch last saturday with a friend, wasn't very happy with quality of the food, and all was just greasy food. Not bad, but nothing special for me. Thanks anyway.But that Cotswolds area really nice.

We've been Coming to the Cotswolds for many years and always try to visit this pub in Guiting Power at least once each holiday

Bien maravilloso pub país y GRUB en el país, la sensación es agradable, acogedor. Y leña chimenea preciosa en invierno, este es tradicional. Y la decoración. También es tradicional en consonancia con el. Edificio, cómo horrible que seria. Convertir en un ultra moderno bar de...

He oído informes contradictorios sobre la comida, así que no te arriesgues comer aquí. Pero para mí, esta es la personificación de un pub tradicional. Muchos pubs han bajado el "shabby chic" de dirección, que me Carvery Roast" gusta, pero este es un cambio refrescante....

Paramos en este país encantador pub, para una cena, en una visita a los Cotswolds. La comida era deliciosa y servido por un personal muy amable y acogedor. Mi carne casero y tarta de riñón era la mejor que he comido y a mi marido...

Oh Dios mío, encontramos uno de los mejores pubs nunca. El personal era realmente encantadora, especialmente amanecer la casera, ella no podría ser más servicial y conversó con nosotros por un tiempo. La comida era increíble, tuve la carne, tarta de riñón al marido tenía...

If you want good food and rubbing shoulders with locals this is it! The rabbit pie was home-made and the cod And chips was lots of good!

We stopped here for Sunday lunch as a last stop before heading home after staying in the area. As soon as you step through the door you feel like you have stepped back in time! The decor is in desperate need of modernisation and it smells really stale. We only wanted soft drinks because of driving, and these were from bottles of cheap own-brand type "fizzy pop" - there's no gas-pumped soft drinks. The menu is huge which instantly sets off alarm bells because it couldn't possibly all be freshly prepared!! So we ordered a roast as we hoped this would be a safer option... we were wrong - The meal came out in 5 minutes and didn't look very appetising - like something your nan might have prepared in the 80's!! The vegetables were all over cooked and soggy, the parsnips were deep-fried and soggy, and the potatoes were quite obviously pre-prepared (think Aunt Bessie's) and also deep-fried. The whole meal had all obviously been pre-plated and either microwaved briefly, or been sat under a (warm) heat lamp, had the meat added, and then gravy poured only over the meat?!? Very strange indeed!! The staff were very polite and friendly, but I definitely wouldn't recommend the pub unless it has a complete overhaul!!

Place is dirty, sticky, greasy and food is revolting. It is also overpriced for what it is which is cheeky. It has nothing of a charming country pub and we were very disappointed. Attended with a group of 4 adults and 4 children we were all very disappointed and slightly disgusted by the place. Food came in no time which is not a good sign and everything had a greasy taste. It needs serious updating and a new chef! Passers-by AVOID IT - there are many other lovely pubs nearby.

Title sums it up, this is a very poor establishment. The décor inside is seriously outdated and the few wooden tables in the beer garden (poorly signposted) are close to falling apart. The food though was terrible! Three different meals took five minutes to come to our table. This concerned us, as I have previous restaurant experience and the turnaround was too quick.My dad had a Sunday roast, priced at £9.50, mum had a Ploughman's, priced at £9.00 and I had beer-battered cod and chips, priced at £10.95. The roast and cod was clearly reheated. The veg on the roast was pre plated, the meat thrown on before delivery, the Ploughman's came with bread from a Hovis sliced loaf, no pickled onion or Branston pickle and a small, soft, apple. My cod was dripping in oil and rock solid at the bottom. From my previous training I recognise this as a sign of a precooked meal that has been microwaved. Bad, bad, news.Complained to lady behind the bar about the latter and had money returned. "You're the third complaint this week on the fish" came the response, and we got our money back. The lady with grey hair however was very bitter. We commented on the Ploughman's and she bluntly told me the "bread was fresh" (shame, I'd have really loved a stale loaf of bread with my meal, arf, arf.) She then said "the food is good here, we don't do pickle." She'd asked us if we'd enjoyed the meal and clearly could not handle the slightest criticism.The lady with black hair behind the bar was really very nice and lovely, but unfortunately that's where the positive feedback ends. People are really overrating this establishment, it doesn't deserve the feedback it gets.

This is a pub to my taste. Good beer and food, nice staff and very quite with no piped music. If you stay at the guesthouse next door, you'll make it back even if you get more tipsy than expected. The other pub in the village is more like a bar in London.

Just spent a few days at Cheltenham Festival and stayed at Guiting Guest House which is a great little place ran by Jo & Chris next to The Farmers Arms which is run by Dawn, Robert & Sandra, great people really nice, great pub food highly recommended. MB
