La Bobina is a Spanish tapas restaurant in Stratton, a village just north of Cirencester, offering a real change of pace from the traditional pub meals you'll find throughout the Cotswolds.
The kitchen focuses on authentic small plates designed for sharing—patatas bravas, chorizo, gambas al pil pil, and similar Spanish classics feature regularly on the menu, with paella available if you'd prefer something more filling to anchor the meal.
The dining room has a relaxed, welcoming feel with genuine energy to it, striking that balance between lively and comfortable without ever feeling stuffy or formal. It's the kind of place where you can take your time, linger over drinks, and enjoy the company around you. The location in Stratton village makes it straightforward to reach whether you're based in Cirencester or travelling through the broader area—close enough for a pleasant walk from the town centre or just a short drive if the weather isn't cooperating.
If you're travelling with friends or family, the sharing format works particularly well. You can order several dishes across the table, trying different flavours and discovering what appeals to you as you move through the meal. It's a sensible choice when you want something genuinely different but still want that unpretentious village dining experience that defines so much of the Cotswolds.
