The best restaurants serving British food 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.

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 !!!

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.

Went there without a booking after being knocked back from a few places. The man behind the bar could not have been more accomodating and recommend the place based on the food atmosphere and friendly staff. We waiting for a drink to work out next steps and he in the meantime worked behind the scenes to find us a table and arranged some food (despite being after food times). Would come back here again to stay or for another mea.

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.

This reveiew refers to the Restaurant only, as we did not stay at the Hotel. We have come here on a number of occasions over the past few years. The place was fairly full and as we came on the spur of the moment, we did not have a reservation, but after waiting for less than 5 minutes, a table was quickly found. Service was impeccable. The Menu is not very extensive, I would have liked a few more dishes, but we managed to select a decent starter and Main course. Quality and quantity was good too. Altogether a very pleasant experience. We will be back again.

Absolutely beautiful location, lovely atmosphere, food was delicious, waiters first class nothing was too much trouble would highly recommend. Ten out of ten. Well definitely go back.

We changed our plans for evening meal when the pub we'd intended to eat at was closed on Sunday evening. The change turned out well. We found this lovely pub on a village green. The food was excellent. I had pheasant, my husband had pie. We enjoyed it so much we went back again the following evening. We then both had pheasant. The meal was beautifully cooked, the vegetables were delicious. I only wish I lived closer. Just one note of caution, the village is very dark at night in winter so have a torch or well charged phone. It all adds to the charm though.

Lovely staff. However the food is below average and pricy. We had tuna and cheese melt, tuna mayo sandwich and biscoff cake. All were not tasty 💔 Americano coffee was ok. English breakfast tea also good.

Stayed here as a family. We had 4 rooms. We were in room 1 a lovely split level cottage. Absolutely loved our stay, can't fault the accommodation at all and a lovely breakfast in the morning. Staff were lovely and accomodating for the 9 of us. We will most definitely be back!

Food was nice, but the menu is very restricted with most items carrying a supplement, which made the meal much more expensive than advertised. Not four star standard as the hotel purports to be. The decor is very tired, the chairs are grubby and the carpet just dirty. The staff do their best, but you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear. It clear the owners have lost interest in the hotel and leave the staff to run the place.

had a lovely soup and bread ,on a chilly day.Followed by coffee. Agood brouse round the Antiques centre first.

The coffee shop we intended to go to was packed, so we went next door to Davenford instead as it wasn’t very busy at all. We ordered coffee and pastries and sat down inside with the dog (sign at the front saying dogs allowed but on lead). While we were waiting, a waiter came to give us a menu, not realising we’d already ordered, so walked away. Next thing, another staff member came and said dogs were only allowed at the front part of the store. No one mentioned this before! So we had to pack up our things and head to tables outside because the minimal tables were taken inside. After waiting a while, finally got our drinks but no food, he said it was coming. How hard is it to put two pastries from the shelf into plates?!! They never came so I went in to cancel the pastries and ask for a refund, because we’d finished our drinks so we didn’t want the food now. They didn’t even give so much as an apology, just an offer to put them in takeaway boxes. Unbelievable! Got back to the car and discovered they’d given us something entirely different to what we’d ordered…no words 😖. This probably explains why next door was jam packed and these guys weren’t. They were so flustered behind the counter, not knowing who was doing what. First and last time visit for us. Dreadful…

Gorgeous impromptu lunch. Lovely flavoursome and fresh food. Very nice staff, great wine by the glass. Would definitely recommend.

Great 3 day stay over Twixmas. Carol, Alex and the team made me feel at home and welcome . Fabulous room (Rabbit), warm cosy bar, and the tastiest food. Beautiful, friendly pub/rooms. Well done team! I’ll be visiting again.
