This traditional pub sits at the heart of Broadwell, a quiet village surrounded by rolling Cotswolds countryside.
Stone walls and an open fire create a warm setting, particularly welcome after a walk through the surrounding fields. You'll find locals and visitors mixing naturally over drinks and food, and there's a genuine sense that The Bell has been looking after its community properly for generations.
The kitchen focuses on comfort food with contemporary twists, drawing on local ingredients whenever possible. They're equally committed to their drinks selection, featuring a solid range of local ales. Whether you're stopping in for a quick pint, settling down for lunch or dinner, or just grabbing a coffee, the atmosphere accommodates whatever you're after without any fuss.
Location-wise, The Bell serves as an excellent base for exploring further afield. Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh are both a short drive away, and Kingham train station is within easy reach, making this a practical stopping point if you're traveling by rail. The pub represents the real centre of village life around here—the kind of place that encourages you to slow down and absorb the actual rhythm of how the Cotswolds works.
