The best restaurants in Cotswold South West

Lovely cafe, beautiful home made cakes and lovely service from the owners. Highly recommend to anyone in the area, wanting afternoon tea

The Hive is absolutely adorable. Best cafe I've ever been to. We visited for lunch as part of our holiday in The Cotswolds. From start to finish it went beyond our expectations. We were warmly welcomed in by the owner. What a lovely lady!! We had the homemade soup of pea, courgette and lettuce with a homebaked cheese scone. Absolutely delicious!!! Seems strange to have soup in August but it was just what we needed. The cheese scone was divine!! Had a really lovely latte and my husband had tea. The decor was really welcoming and comforting too. All the staff were very attentive and helpful and it was very evident how well it was being managed by the owner. Definitely a must if you want some lunch in Stow on The Wold.

Customer service was spot on and very efficient, baguettes were VERY reasonably priced for such a prime location, thank you

Procured a few divine looking cakes with crazy brother, and saw the last remaining quiche… O WOW! Quiche? It’s quiche ? Probably, no certainly the best quiche I’ve ever consumed. The balance, the texture, the flavour… quite amazing. Thank you

YUM YUM YUM YUM IN MY TUM. Most excellent bakery in the whole world. I almost died from happiness eating my cake. Thank you.

Went for lunch and found new owners - however the new owners continues the Jennies Kitchen tradition of great food with excellent service. The garden seating area continues to be a sun trap, and given the fabulous choice of cake I know this will continue to be a favorite spot to stop on any bike ride.

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.

Food was great but a little cold by the time we eat it. The experience is great seeing you dishes being create and cooked Overall 11 course seem ok value for cost. The wine flight seemed overpriced for the size of the pouring but sons interesting wines

Coffee and a cheeky pastry or two all served with a smile . Then I get some fresh bread and groceries to keep the boss at home happy . What Pastries !!!

What a lovely tipi, cozy, pretty, warm and inviting and just so happens to do some of the best Bao buns! Eat and play board games inside or relax by the outdoor fire pit with a cocktail. We spent hours here eating, drinking and playing uno.

Stopped for a breakfast batch, good price around £5.50 and tasted lovely

Alfonso Gelateria was the finest gelato that I’ve ever tasted! My husband and I had just come from traveling through Italy and never found authentic gelato like we found in the heart of the Cotswolds at Alphonso’s. I had read a lot about gelato and what makes it authentic, how it is to be stored to retain the best flavors and texture and the ingredients that go into it. Alfonso’s was excellent and every category. I rarely eat any desserts, but this was worth having an every way! Thank you for doing your gelato in a traditional and pure way. You will really be missing out if you don’t stop by this gelateria in Stow in the Wold!!!!

We had a lovely roast. Great food. Lovely meat and selection of veg. Fantastic service and atmosphere. We were a large family group and most impressed with service by Andy. Would recommend this fabulous roast and experience. Well Done All.

Loved this little find, stumbled across it after a bike ride & didn't want to leave. Drinks well priced with a great selection. A DJ was on & it felt like we were abroad whilst the sun was shining.

The cafe was clean, light and airy, with a small play area outside. We phoned to reserve a table - Shelly was very welcoming and friendly. She was also very informative as we needed local information. Coffee and cakes were delicious 😋
