You'll find this riverside pub in Norton, a small village just outside Evesham, sitting right along the banks of the River Avon.
It's been serving the community for years and offers exactly what you'd want from a country pub – straightforward, satisfying food and a solid range of drinks, with local ales taking pride of place alongside the usual options.
The real draw here is where it sits. You can watch the river life unfold from your table – boats and swans passing by – and there's a garden for outdoor eating when the weather's on your side. If you've been walking the towpath or arrived by riverboat, it's a natural place to stop. Even if you're just after a relaxed meal, the unhurried atmosphere makes it worth seeking out, especially if you've been navigating the busier stretches elsewhere in the Cotswolds.
Location-wise, it's convenient enough if you're based in Evesham or exploring around Tewkesbury, yet far enough removed to feel like a genuine step away from the usual tourist routes. There's that comfortable feeling of a place where locals belong and visitors arrive as genuine guests rather than passing trade.
