Just outside Gastard near Corsham, this traditional country inn operates as a genuine local gathering spot rather than a tourist attraction.
It's the sort of place where you can settle in for a proper meal and a drink without pretension, whether you've just finished a walk or you're taking a break from exploring the surrounding villages. The menu leans toward classic pub food with occasional modern additions, and the drinks selection includes regional ales and ciders worth exploring.
The atmosphere is genuinely comfortable. You can warm yourself by the fire when it's cold outside or take advantage of outdoor seating on nicer days. The building carries the character of a long-established village pub, the kind of place that's been woven into the community over many years.
Its location works well for several reasons. If you're visiting Corsham to see its historic court or spot the famous resident peacocks, this is a convenient stop. The Box Valley with its walking routes is close by, and you're well-positioned to explore the wider southern Cotswolds. Bath is also within easy driving distance, so the inn functions equally well as a destination in itself or as a pleasant break during a larger trip around the region.
