The best restaurants serving British food in Fairford Cotswold South West

As locals we wanted to pop out for Sunday brunch…initially tried Cerney whereby the wait times was ridiculous…crowds everywhere! Then called around Ciren to be told continuously that no, they either were not or were no longer serving brunch at 12.15! Then we thought about this cafe which we have driven past but never visited. Called and spoke to a lovely person who confirmed that yes that would be no problem! The cafe is tucked away next to the waterski lake and a hidden gem! The menu is varied and the staff are friendly and keen to help. You can see that hygiene is being taken seriously with staff reassuringly cleaning down tables, chairs and menus. As the sun came out we decided to eat outside. The outdoor area is really pretty with tables and umbrellas to give shade, overlooking the lake. Food was delicious and well presented on pretty plates. Likewise the cut glass flute used to serve my Prosecco brought a smile to my face. Do not hesitate to stop here for food…I have no doubt we will become new regulars!

I was meeting up with my Daughter for a lunch out and as she lives in Fairford, I suggested that we go a short distance up the road to the neighbouring village of Quenington and go The Keepers Arms, which to be fair, we'd only been to for a drink, so the thought of eating there was a great opportunity to see what it was like. The whole pub is well laid out, nicely decorated and furnished to present a warm, welcoming and cosy space to relax and enjoy your visit. It's a family owned Freehouse with rooms and they've achieved some nice accolades over their 17 year ownership, including awards from CAMRA and a winner of the hit Channel 4 series, Four in a Bed. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and they have a good selection of beers, wine and spirits. The food is absolutely delicious. Nothing fancy, just good, honest, well cooked dishes, that are sensibly priced.I'm so pleased we went there and we will definitely be back again, so I can heartily recommend you pay them a visit. They are dog friendly too.

Really great food for a local pub/restaurant. We were lucky to unexpectedly have booked steak night which my husband could not fault and although it was a relatively busy Friday night the service was great and the food portions excellent. Very very tasty indeed!
