The best restaurants serving British food in Cotswold South West

Been here several times this year to both eat and drink. I previously gave this pub a very mediocre review based on a single visit but have changed my mind completely. The food has been great every time. The hash browns, tomato, avocado and poached egg dish has been stolen and is now a firm favourite at home. The Butcombe beers are really good. I particularly like the Tall Tails IPA. And the staff behind the bar are chatty, friendly and a good laugh - this place is what a pub should be.

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.

Pretentious place. Staff don’t listen to requests, e.g. brought drink with ice when asked for no ice, brought dessert with clotted cream when asked for pouring cream. Food at best average.

Wish that I had read the reviews before eating here. Carvery was very poor quality. We both had beef - very cheap joint, tasteless and like chewing on leather. Don’t know how they managed it - but everything was tasteless and not hot. Service was ok - although not asked how the food was!

We ordered the BLT for £5.95, but they'd run out, because it was a lovely day and they'd been busy. The server didn't tell us this and just changed our order to the Classic BLT on Ciabatta for £7.95, without informing us! When the Ciabatta BLT, for an extra £2, turned up... it was three anorexic bits of back bacon in a roll! Massively disappointing and equally ripped off!

Nice environment, food looked lovely. However all but one staff member looked like they would rather not be there. Food was disappointing, sandwich bread was rubbery, both ciabatta and baguette. The sandwich fillings were extremely salty. The baked potato was cold, the only good things from our group were the sausage roll and fries. Mint chocolate and coffees were decent.

I don’t usually leave reviews for places I’ve visited, however I felt the need to leave one. I visited coffee#1 on Thursday and was served by a young brunette girl , she was so lovely and so polite and welcoming. My cappuccino was so good , probably the best I’ve had in a while!! Deserves an award for her great customer service Will be coming back often!!

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.

Stopped for late lunch burgers were great sat by lakeside . Took a box of cakes home which were equally good. Worth a visit to the Shed.

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

Good service in the bar and restaurant. Food excellent! Staff very pleasant and efficient. Set up efficiently for Covid.

Comimos aquí este mes pero el cartel decía 'Lyndseys'. Le preguntamos a un miembro del personal y me dijeron que los dos sapos cesado en 2013 Agosto así que un poco sorprendido por estas dos comentarios! ¿Por qué la gente examinar ahora?

Beer was good, glasses clean. Food was good, but we were not warned about fresh-from-the-oven hot bowl for the chips. Ouch. Oh, and a long hair in the burger. Grubby. Who wipes bogies on toilet walls? Regulars? Staff? Japanese tourists? Who can say, but the amount was disgusting and unusually tolerated by the management. Why is it tolerated? Because it hadn’t been cleaned off! The regulars had a great rapport with staff- nice to see, so I’d hate for it to be a regular wiping biohazards on the gent’s toilets wall seeing as they’re mates with the bar staff. Tables were wiped down, but it was hard to discern which one was done first and when with the “hot soapy water” as they all had a sticky lacquer on them. The tables and the table cutlery/ packet sauce holder were grubby. Cleaning , whilst a chore, is necessary in food service establishments, at daily intervals. Booked a table in advance, which was held for us, but rich mouthy cry-baby boomers kicked off about not being able to sit together in their group of 8. Poorly managed by the staff- just felt inexperienced and clumsy. We moved our party and at least got the drinks on the house. Boomers didn’t have the courtesy/ decency to actually ask us…they used the young manager to do the deed. Not the fault of the pub, but there’s a training need for how to handle people and customers there. Watch out for already included and assumed service charge (15% IIRC?), which is presumptuous and not necessarily earned. What do we tip for? Service? Food? Cleanliness? No bogies? Hard to say what the pub is- it’s affordable with reasonable beer and food, but it’s not a professional establishment. The level of cleaning and management inexperience showed this. Have used this pub on and off for >20yrs, this is the worst it’s been. Sad to see this in a place with such an exclusive location.

Went for champagne afternoon tea. The good: staff helpful, food quality ok, nice fire. About as much atmosphere as a motorway service area. Value for money very poor. Reservation a waste of time-seated in bar area at unset up table—was told lounge unavailable due to a conference—so why accept res? Brushing up while we were eating…not good!
