The best restaurants serving Default food in Cotswold South West

The stay was very enjoyable , staff were very attentive & the food, we had breakfast and evening meal, was exceptional. We have stayed in Chipping Campden several times and would stay here again.

Was happy to sit down and have a drink and a bit to eat after a long afternoon of shopping, however as soon as we got there we were disappointed and should of known to turn around and go elsewhere. The host had a disgusting attitude and was rude, never saw her smile once, we sat down and waited and waited for our order to be taken, people who got seated way after us were served before us, we got walked past about 10 times and a server was stood doing nothing and looked at us many times but never bothered to come take our order, so I had to ask a server to come take our order, so then he tells another server to do it then he goes to take someone else’s order. We were ready to leave but finally a nice young lad acknowledged us, we both ordered a scone and then got told there was only one scone left (bear in mind this was at not even four in the afternoon) so my mum ordered something different, my scone came freezing cold and my mums food was very unsatisfying. Will definitely not be going 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.

Enjoyed a pleasant lunch on a Thursday. The menu was not extensive but that is to be expected on a Thursday lunchtime. But of the choices available they all sounded appealing. We both had crayfish cocktail which was beautifully presented and just right on a hot day. Then ribeye steak and fish and chips both attractively presented and well cooked. Finished with a very pleasant Eton Mess. Friendly staff. The seating on the terrace by the River Windrush is idyllic and peaceful on a hot day (which it was). The silence was remarkable, no traffic noise, no aircraft noise, just birdsong and the chink of glasses from contented customers. There are many beautifully situated pub/restaurants in the Cotswolds, but this is one of the best.

Great little locals pubs .staff was friendly and helpful. Locals very pleasant and chatty

Stow-on-the-Wold was our Cotswold base for several days so we became quite familiar with the town’s cafes and pubs. Popping into Huffkins for a toasted bun and a pot of tea became a favourite thing to do. Their specialties are cream teas and home-made cakes and buns but they also do more substantial breakfast and lunch meals. An interesting thing about Huffkins is that it is housed inside Stow’s oldest building, built around 1450. Heavy wooden beams still feature in the ceilings but the rest of the decor is modern and whilst its clean and neutral, it lacks any historical charm. For those interested in the history, there’s a blue plaque on the wall out the front which gives a brief history of the building.

This is what other restaurants can get example of.

We had a really great evening meal for a table of 10. Given a nice table location. Staff were super helpful. And all the food were fresh and tasty.

Fantastic food and amazing atmosphere and lovely to catch up with one of the best chefs I've ever worked with. Lovely to see you brother

Did not stay here but visited the pub. Good beers and interesting how they store and get to the beer. See video.

Site small and clean. Food in pub amazing, staff lovely. No buses close to Cirencester.

Good pint of beer and friendly staff 👍

It's been a few weeks since our visit to this place, but I knew I had to rate it. This place has a well deserved reputation. The steak over pasta dish I had was a delight to my taste buds. I believe (but could be wrong) the past sauce was based on marsala wine - a very unexpected surprise. The service was very welcoming and accommodating. In particular, the person in charge that night was chatty with great personality. I will probably make some attempts to recreate the dish - it was that good. Would love to get the recipe. I don't recall what my honey and sister-in-law had, but I know they were very happy with it. I will have to go back here on my next visit to the Cotswolds. BTW, there is a beer (and wine) garden out back which was the perfect precursor to dinner. Highly recommend.

We booked early at 7pm on Saturday. It wasn't very busy with not many tables occupied. It was our first visit to The Hungry Horse and we were impressed by the menu options and the reasonable prices. Service was good. However, two of the three meals were ok but the fish and chips was poor. The fish was overcooked and dry. I really should have sent it back. We were then told the bar was shutting at 8pm and we were asked to get any further drink orders in. The reason was apparently trade and staff issues because of the A417 road closures. I had some sympathy for this because managing the pub in this location must be difficult during the A417 construction. However, that was no excuse for the poorly cooked food which we commented on. The website hasn't been updated with changes to opening hours.
