The best restaurants serving British food in Bourton-on-the-Water Cotswold South West

My wife and I were looking for a restaurant for our evening meal. We tried the Rose Tree - it was busy and we had no reservation but the staff moved a few tables around and were able to fit us in. The place was very busy, but very friendly and cosy, the food was excellent and we had a really good evening.

We were debating about where to have dinner on our last night in the area and ended up booking dinner at Mousetrap. We were not disappointed! The building itself is very cute and we loved the subtle mouse related decor; it as fun to spot them. The food was generous and hearty with a very nice job in the plating creating a lovely first impression. I ordered the spinach and mushroom Pithivier and it was delicious..definitely not something I can get back home. My better half very much enjoyed his chicken. We had just enough room left to share a delicious dessert which also looked great.

We walked around a went in as we liked the menu options and the food did not let itself down, beautiful prawn sandwiches, milkshakes and tea. The ground floor is in desperate need of modernisation and decorations to make it more inviting, the menu holders looked years old and quite grubby, old fridges standing around and looked generally unloved, otherwise would be 5 stars

Excellent coffee and cake in a stunning location. Comfortable chairs (we sat outside with the dogs). Very clean. Friendly staff.

We had a stay for two nights with two rooms, dinner on evening one and two breakfasts. Positive Points 1. Quality steak 2. Delicious mackerel starter Negative Points 1. Cold and unwelcoming 2. Dirty tables and cutlery 3. Very long wait for food and nobody checked if everything was ok 4. Different change for same drinks every time. 5. No staff....one person does everything! 6. Filthy bedrooms, thick with dust and cobwebs 7. Rooms full of broken items ...mirrors, blinds 8. No slip mat provided for elderly people, so unable to have a shower (my mum was told to throw a towel in the bath!) 9. Extremely old mattress, lumpy and uncomfortable, old duvet with lumps and bumps 10. Linen bundles and beer barrels left outside rooms and at bottom of the stairs...huge fire and safety risk 11. Limited breakfast and very small quantity 12. Coffee and tea not restocked, dirty cups left in room and bed not made 13. Bathroom was rusty, filthy and hadn't been cleaned. Toilets were still dirty from previous guests.

Renamed Mrs. Rolt's Tearoom now. Very small and quaint in the lovely village of Bourton-on-the-Water. Welcoming and friendly, another family arrived around the same time and were accommodated even with a stroller, as it was quiet.

Excellent choice, quality food and plenty of it Highly recommend

Very good special hot baguette (bacon, Brie and chilli jam) and vegan spicy vegetable pasty. Very good coffees. Not too long to wait, and made to order No complaints and visit again.

Outrageously good food! Such a welcoming, lovely pub that serves gastronomic treats at amazing value! Every dish that came was beautifully presented and just as delicious! Highly recommend a visit here!

Fantastic hospitality and wonderful food. Sunday roast to die for: roast beef cooked perfectly, vegetables, excellent choice for time of year, also cooked to perfection. Not my first visit and looking forward to my next. Thank you, Sheila, Graham & Staff 😁 Regards A-J & Pat

Our family arrived for lunch on a Tuesday lunchtime. We ordered drinks and lunch for 5. An hour later it arrived. There was no warning in advance that there would be such a delay and no apology or even acknowledgement afterwards. The pub was not particularly busy. Was it worth the wait? No. When it arrived the food was average at best.

Very dissatisfied, ordered 3 meals, waited 25mins for what was essentially just a burger as the rest was readily available. No apologies offered rven though it seemed the staff were aware. Finally sit to eat, and what a disappointment. Thin fish that was greasy and smelt like beef dripping.. how?! The chips were very dry and not enjoyable. The burger that was waited on was also dry. Considering the price that is charged is above the average you would expect something good but that's not the case. This was in the evening as well and not as busy as I have seen it, so pretty sure that's not the cause.

This is the first time we have been to the coach and horses and we were not disappointed! Although they were very busy we looked after very well. My daughter is very fussy but the staff had no difficulty to accommodate her needs. There was a bit of wait for the food but it was well worth it! The beef was cooked beautifully and came with lots of vegetables and cauliflower cheese! Will recommend to all our friends and we will be back soon! Thanks to all.

Terrible service. Just a bunch of teenagers with no training AT All! Gin And tonic … no lemon… shrug of shoulders when requested. Overpriced, over cooked , not fresh and really shocking attitude for a time of year when they should be encouraging the scarce amount of customers in Bourton
