Lucky Boat is a Chinese restaurant in the village of Lower Compton, located between the market towns of Tetbury and Malmesbury.
If you're looking to step away from the traditional pub fare that dominates dining across the Cotswolds, this offers a straightforward alternative for an evening meal or takeaway.
The kitchen handles the familiar Chinese dishes you'd expect—sweet and sour chicken, chow mein, crispy duck—the sort of food that sits well after a day spent walking the countryside or visiting local attractions. What works about it is the unpretentious approach. The atmosphere feels welcoming and relaxed, and it's an easy place to settle into whether you're local or passing through. There's nothing heavy-handed about it, no historical gravitas or grand ambitions—just decent food served without fuss.
It's worth keeping in mind if you're staying in Tetbury or Malmesbury and want a change from the evening's usual options. The takeaway service is equally practical if you'd rather eat back at your accommodation. Given where it sits geographically, it's a sensible choice to consider if you're exploring this part of the south Cotswolds and want something warming and flavourful for dinner.
