The best restaurants in Beacon-Stow Cotswold South West

What a lovely place to have a cuppa tea and a bite to eat. The food was amazing. We had sandwiches and the thai pea and spinach soup which was delicious. Jackie and Alan have created a warm welcoming tearoom with some thoughtful and inspiring words of wisdom displayed on the walls. I certainly recommend this place to anybody who visits Stow on the Wold but be sure to book in advance.

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.

Having checked online for some local food places, this became one I definitely wanted to try. Visiting on a rainy day I imagined it to be a bit quieter, but no, there was still a decent queue. Must be good, I thought! We ordered a couple of baguettes and chose some bits to enjoy another time (sausage roll, pasty & scotch egg!). Total cost, around £20. Service was fantastic. Despite being busy, our food was made fairly quickly and staff were really lovely. Our food was delicious and we both decided we wanted to go back for another baguette at some point ;D

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

This busy cafe is known for great coffee, friendly service and now has a lovely new cafe area. Great cakes too! Good coffee stop when on a walk in the area.

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’ve visited Otis and Belle in Stow numerous times ,mainly because it so good. Okay it’s a smaller cafe but on a nice day has numerous tables outside , so that’s where we sat. The cakes and pastries are on a different level , absolutely brilliant. Today we had a Pain Au Raisin and a Strawberry Cube ( a very special take on a doughnut) Other customers were enjoying their offerings too. This was 5 star PLUS experience Thanks

Really great coffee with incredible service. Their espresso and americano was so smooth and flavourful, what a way to start my day. Fantastic coffee in a fantastic location, keep coming back to this one!

A cute tea house with warm atmosphere and nice service.

We visit Hackett’s whenever in Stow for a fantastic breakfast (other meals are available!) and always a warm welcome from Jennie. Fabulous (and very tasty) locally sourced produce cooked to order at very reasonable prices. A great start to the day. Highly recommended! Thank you again, see you next time!

Had an great stop hete eith friends. Best cappuccino ever with grated flakes of chocolate on top 👌

Had a fantastic full English breakfast here (Mega). The food was well cooked and piping hot. I would certainly recommend having breakfast here!

Today was our second visit and as usual it was lovely. I had the cream tea. Lovely warm scone, clotted cream and jam. Served with Earl Rey. Delicious. It was very busy. Hardly surprising as it’s so good. Keep up with the great service. Very reasonably priced too. Thank you.

We ate here 3 times during our 3 night stay in Stow - twice for breakfast and once for evening meal. Breakfast in particular was superb and great value. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They were happy to accept our dog. Beer lovers might appreciate the one handpump (Purity) when we visited and the wines were good. I would definitely eat here again and so should you.

Beautiful hotel. Friendly staff. Room was very clean. Breakfast is included.
