Pheasant Inn

It's a proper traditional pub where you can settle in with a meal or a drink after a morning spent walking the local trails.

The village itself is known for Stanway House and its striking fountain, both just a short walk away if you want to add some history to your visit. Inside the pub, you'll find a genuine local atmosphere, complete with open fires when the weather turns cold. The food draws on local suppliers, and they keep a good range of regional ales and ciders on hand, so you can eat well whether you're after a full lunch, dinner, or something lighter.

Because the area is well served by public footpaths, you'll often see walkers and cyclists coming through, particularly on weekends. The location works well as a base if you're planning to visit nearby towns like Broadway, Winchcombe, or Cheltenham, all easily reached by car. It's the kind of place where you get a genuine sense of how people actually live and eat in rural Cotswolds villages, without any pretence.
