The Old Bankhouse in Lower Compton is a pub and cocktail bar that captures genuine local character without any pretense.
What's now a welcoming social space once operated as a bank, and that history remains visible in the building's fabric, though it's been thoughtfully updated for modern use. The drinks program is genuinely capable — you'll find well-crafted cocktails on the menu, plus a solid selection of local ales and spirits for those who prefer them.
This is a comfortable place to spend an evening with friends or simply pause and refresh yourself after time in the Cotswolds countryside. The atmosphere feels relaxed and authentically hospitable, the kind of space that works equally well whether you're a regular or passing through for the first time. Practically speaking, you're well-positioned here for exploring the wider area. Tetbury lies just a short drive away and rewards a visit if you're interested in antiques, while Malmesbury with its historic abbey is equally accessible nearby. If you're making your way around this corner of Wiltshire, The Old Bankhouse serves as a natural place to stop, settle in, and take stock before moving on to wherever comes next.
