Wild Carrot at Chavenage in Cotswold

I’m a cyclist and have come to wild carrot many times over the last few years. It’s steadily got more expensive whilst service has nose dived. It’s home to the most expensive coffee in the area (£3.70 for a flat white) and I had to wait for 19 mins after paying and not even a sorry. All food seems extortionately priced. Such a shame as it’s a lovely setting, but I won’t ever come again.

We have visited Wild Carrot two weekends running. Now a firm favourite spot for us to go for coffee. We visited last weekend with family and found plenty of space inside the teepee. Good that tables show reservation times so if you pop by like we did you know when to vacate by. Also visited today with two spaniels after a 6k walk to beverston and back. Sat outside today. Both occasions we’ve had cappuccinos, great taste and one of the best around. We haven’t had any food yet but the sausage rolls look tempting.

We booked for lunch at the cafe, but when we arrived at 13.00 they were out of soup and only had a few toasties left. We were quite disappointed with the lack of choice and the toasties were totally under whelming, I wouldn’t have again. We had finished our very mediocre toasties when the waitress brought the condiments🫤 They seemed very disorganised, service could be a lot slicker. Very expensive for what you got 😕

The cafe is set in a tepee tent, its nice inside with a wood fire, tables and chairs and a couple of sofas at the top. It seems to be a very popular cycle and dog walk destination, in fact i think we were one of the only non cyclist there. Its a lovely setting within a farm yard. Its expensive, 2 cakes 3 coffees and. 1 tea was 23 quid, and then its served in paper cups! And no cutlery to eat with. Theres something missing….maybe just atmosphere, not overtly friendly.

We visited here for lunch having booked a table on a Friday but needed not of worried as very quiet. Cafe is in two large tipi tents with a rustic feel. The seating is a mixture of sofas and table and chairs definitely very quirky. We ordered toasted sandwiches and coffees. The sandwiches were ok but nothing special. The latte was in a small coffee cup and was very strong so not very latte like. Overall nice place that's that little bit different but would chose differently for food and drink choices.

Friendly service, good coffee, spectacular cake, cycle parking, toilets, water-refills.... what's not to like?

Firstly our Tipi and sight was overall very nice. However one of the main reasons I booked this was because the website reads 'fully licensed bar so enjoy a drink and watch the sun go down'. The bar is only open on a Friday. You can have drinks delivered to your tipi - i.e. bottles of wine etc, but we were disappointed there wasn't actually a bar in a barn to enjoy as stated. Also, it all closes at 5pm. Equally the site reads Tipi with hotel amenities/concierge - this certainly wasn't the case. There is a coffee area all served in takeaway cups, so just feel the luxury is taken away from how the site markets the camp site. Overall had a lovely stay, just wasn't quite what I expected.

We went for coffee and cakes, followed by a couple of beers this Sunday afternoon while listening to the live jazz. Couldn't fault anything about the experience and will be returning!

I come here often with my dogs and family/friends, it never disappoints! The staff are always super nice and it’s such a beautiful spot. Lovely place!

Out on a walk along the Macmillan Way we stumbled across this wonderful Cafe in the middle of nowhere. With its outdoor seating and Nordic teepee for chilly days, it was a welcome find. If you are out walking or cycling around the beautiful town of Tetbury, this is definitely worth a visit.

First and last visit to this cafe. Why? Because we were charged over £15 for two hot drinks, a piece of dry chocolate cake, and a biscuit! Terrible value for money.

Amazing little find. Lovely food and ambience. We had a few drinks in the sun in their secluded garden. Panini and a drink were great.

A lovely setting and location in the countryside. Staff were very friendly and the place was packed with cyclists so knew it was a good place! However, it is a bit on the pricey side with two coffees coming to £6.60

Really delightful place. Best cup of tea I have had in ages, nice selection of cake and pastries. Love the water feature.

Unusual beautiful spot - lovely coffee in the huge tipi with log burner - gorgeous atmosphere and smiley friendly greeting

A friend and I enjoyed a glass of champagne by the wood burner last night. I can highly recommend this tipi as the perfect place for a lovely drink in super comfortable surroundings.

Last night visited for a Fright Night tour at Chavenage starting at the Wild Carrot and moving onto Chavenage. It was super and at one point (that I will not spoil) we all experienced more than a very strange sensation! Went back to the stunning...

11 of my family hired pedal cycles and were given a 5 mile route to complete which turned out to be great fun and value for money. The route given was by way of GPS delivered onto our phones. Staff were extremely polite and helpful...

Beautiful stay in a shepherds huts, with private views all round and private hot tub. A real country escape with lots to do! Extremely friendly staff with all your need met and more. Lovely cafe/bar, bike hire and fun one wheel experience.

We have cycled here a few times now and the coffee, salads and meat free sausage rolls are really good. The location is fab too, especially when cycling and the outdoor spaces and covered spaces are really well designed and a lovely place to be....

We had a lovely stay in the Shepherd’s Hut at Wild Carrot. Caron and the team were lovely. The Wild Carrot has a cafe for coffee, drinks and snacks within a couple of minutes walk and does bike hire. The Shepherds Hut was very private,...

Our cycling group have visited this cafe stop many times this year. The outside seating is well done with plenty of space for the bikes. However, the price of the cakes has increased throughout the year to an astronomic level. On our visit today a...

We booked a couple of nights at the Wild Carrot after being given a "Red Letter Day" present. The facilities were perfect; the bed was very comfortable and warm, the large living area is completely private with kitchen, shower, dining area, and log-fired tub and...

Lovely coffee and snacks. Such an unusual place to sit in a converted barn with carpets and comfy sofas and chairs.

Lovely place and well thought out, the coffee is excellent but the food is expensive and very small portions, when the food arrived it was was not hot enough.

Have visited several times since they opened, our favourite on a sunny day for a nice coffee. Plenty of outdoor seating that’s spaced out nicely. They also have a massive teepee now for rainy days. It was nice at Christmas with the big Christmas tree...

A wonderful afternoon tea for a group of 33 of us. Amazing cakes and what a selection! And copious amounts of tea, coffee and soft drinks too. What's not to like?

Excellent - me and my mum stopped here after a cycle ride for a drink and a bite. We tried the new raspberry-filled croissant and they were delicious: crispy golden pastry folded over a melt-in-the-mouth raspberry jam sprinkled with a delicate dusting of icing sugar....

Spent 4 hours here today meeting up with my sister and her little ones after nearly a year due to lockdowns. What a piece of paradise. Great attention to detail creating a relaxing and quirky place. So calm and peaceful. All staff really friendly. Lots...

Lovely surroundings and everyone deserves a second chance! 2/3rds of a cup of coffee (the rest was froth) which was luke warm at £3.10 is not what I was expecting! I was visiting with a friend on their recommendation, so did not like to complain.

Enjoyed coffee in the new teepee. Huge! Beautifully accommodated to seat guests distanced, but still keeping it warm, friendly and atmospheric. A stunning location, with friendly staff. Brilliant choice of drinks and cakes/savoury snacks etc. Just perfect to get away from all the madness and...

Great find as I was passing by in the Cotswolds. Outdoor cafe with a unique atmosphere.. Winter set up is a huge Norwegian Teepee to keep you warm. All products sustainably sourced and packings recycled. Just off A46 and about an 3 miles or an...

Lovely first visit to Wild Carrot yesterday. Had a socially distanced walk with my daughter to Chavenage and stopped for coffee and hot chocolate. All COVID safe. Shame we couldn’t sit in the huge tent but obviously not allowed at the moment, It was so...

Fabulous place to come across whilst out on a bike ride yesterday. Great place to sit and excellent choice of cakes and beverages. Well worth a detour.

We have just been out to the Wild Carrot and enjoyed their wonderful new tipi. My partner and I are regular visitors and always enjoy the lovely coffee and cake. The tipi adds a very atmospheric element to an already lovely location. The staff are...

Charming off the beaten track place to stop for a cuppa. The coffee is served out of the back of a converted trailer and you sit outside a lovely stone barn to drink it. very peaceful and quiet and ideal stopping off point for cyclists....

Great little spot, come rather a lot! Coffee, coffee, now moved into outside evening drinks and even cane for a fantasy jaz evening. Really different, charming staff and boy can they make a coffee. Lots of cyclists and ok you may have to wait but...

These guys have got it spot on! Fantastic coffee and delicious cakes. A real treasure tucked away in a quiet but welcoming location and a nice walk from Tetbury. We've been two weekends in a row and live an hour away - totally worth it!!

Found by accident a few weeks ago and a return visit today. Great little coffee stop, perfect for walkers and cyclists (would say majority of people on my 2 visits have been cyclists, myself included). Great cake and friendly location, highly recommended

What a fabulous gem of a place to find after a very beautiful walk. Delicious cakes and various drinks hot and cold. Couldn't have been more friendly. We will definitely be coming again. Great to hear they now do live music evenings too.

What a wonderful hidden little gem.,..quirky and beautifully atmospheric. We were recommended to visit as, despite only living down the road, we knew nothing of it! A very pleasant surprise, lovely tea and cakes and the added bonus of live jazz and cocktails. We will...

Came for the first time. Nice coffee and cake. Plus live music also. Would reccomend the venue and if your passing by worth a visit

A hidden little gem with amazing coffee and cake. My first time visiting and made so so welcome by Karen and Devon (apologies if misspelt). Such a relaxed friendly place, all outdoors with a sheltered area, perfect if you’re not keen on venturing inside. Very...

Our 4th visit and still the BEST coffee in tetbury! Fantastic location and lots to choose from to eat and drink. Once done, there are plenty of great walks and things to see.

Great hidden away cafe adjacent Chavenage House. All seating is outside, with some under cover if the English weather turns. Wonderful coffee, good selection of cakes and a great place to stop whether your cycling, walking or driving by. Friendly staff, friendly owner with a...

Great place for tea or coffee. Outdoor cafe. Ideal for cyclists or anyone else happening to be passing. Thoroughly recommended.

Well, this is a small, hidden gem: Wild Carrot Cotswold Cycling has recently opened a delightful open air café right next to the world famous Chavenage House (aka Trenwith, the Poldark family home), just outside Tetbury. The café operates from a well-equipped converted horse box,...

Doing a 30 loop around the Tetbury area and came across this lovely place. Great setting and great coffee will be back for cake on our next ride. Seems a great place for cyclists judging by the number of bikes when we arrived but plenty...

The location is divine, a real sun trap whilst listening to the sound of running water courtesy of the unique and ingenious water feature. There is a super offering of delicious coffee, cakes and even a bar should you fancy a little tipple. The atmosphere...

We would highly recommend a visit. We were made to feel so welcome. Wonderful owners and barista. Great coffee and cakes in a wonderful setting! Whether you’re walking, cycling or just driving past, stop and support this new venture. We’ll certainly be going again!

Lovely pit stop whilst visiting the grounds of Chavanage House. The coffee was good quality. Get what you pay for. The setting is lovely and have plenty of seating available. Staff were friendly enough, although did not seem impressed when I asked for access to...

Lovely atmosphere, brilliant place for a weary cyclist to refuel. Great coffee and the brownie was incredible. We will be back

Awesome coffee stop with very enthusiastic staff & a great ambiance :) Ideal location for cycle routes around the area.

Lovely coffee and great selection of cake. Well worth the bike ride, not too far from Tetbury in truly beautiful Cotswold countryside.

Wonderful place to sit and enjoy a coffee and delicious cake lovely setting and wonderfully relaxing , staff are all so cheery and friendly well worth a visit

The perfect spot to enjoy your morning or afternoon coffee. The coffee is truly the best in town - smooth, beautiful and always has a pretty pattern on top, they really know what they are doing. The staff have smiles for everyone, I will be...

Such a wonderful cafe and an amazing space perfect with the current COVID climate! Delicious coffee and homemade cakes, will be sure to recommend to all! The staff are lovely, thank you and we will be sure to be stopping off again for some alcohol...

Fantastic, friendly and experienced staff serving the most delicious coffee and cakes! 5* experience

The setting, the set up is amazing and cannot be faulted. The coffee on the other hand is eye wateringly expensive and eye wateringly bad. The staff need to be taught how to make a coffee and the buyers need to source better coffee. For...

Stopped off at the end of the day on a bike ride. Amazingly sunny relaxing area full of charm and character. Excellent choice of drinks and delicious looking cakes and ice creams. Friendly welcome , we will be back

Had a lovely cup of coffee here whilst enjoying our local Cotswolds countryside. Amazing cake and Marshfeild ice cream was available too!
