Pubs & Restaurants in The Cotswolds

Good food is a big part of the holiday experience, whether it's in a sophisticated restaurant, or in a simple pub. Either way, you're never far from good food and drink in the Cotswolds - and not just in hotels and restaurants.

The Cotswolds is an agricultural area and its food producers have wonderfully tasty cheeses, wines, fruits, vegetables, juices, biscuits, beers, meat and fish. You should be able to buy these from local shops in towns and villages in the Cotswolds. Farmers' markets are also held regularly in many of the market towns in the area.

The Cotswolds is known for historic hotels and a great tip is to visit these for afternoon tea, where you can enjoy traditional scones, sandwiches and cakes. There are also some excellent tea rooms in the Cotswolds and nothing beats afternoon tea in a busy market square.

If you are going sight-seeing or walking don't forget to stop at the village shops to buy a few items from them - most stock local produce, know the area well and you will always be welcome.
