The Riverside is a traditional pub in the small village of Little Faringdon, positioned right alongside the River Leach.
It works well as a stopping point when you're exploring the quieter eastern reaches of the Cotswolds, offering a comfortable spot to rest after a walk along the riverbanks or to enjoy a meal with a view of the water.
The pub serves straightforward pub fare and stocks local ales, making it a reliable choice for lunch or dinner. The outdoor seating is particularly appealing on decent weather days, giving you a chance to sit back and watch the river while you eat. The building itself is constructed from the honey-coloured stone typical of the region, carrying the understated character of a place that's been part of local life for generations.
Location-wise, you're in Oxfordshire close to the Gloucestershire border. Lechlade-on-Thames, a busy market town popular for river activities, is just a short drive away. Fairford, which draws visitors for its notable church, is also nearby, as is the historic market town of Faringdon. The Riverside gives you a genuine taste of rural Cotswolds hospitality without the crowds that gather at some of the better-known destinations, making it a sensible choice if you're spending time in this part of the region.
