Martha’s Coffee House

The Cotswolds


In an appealing historic cottage on the main road, Martha’s is a local mainstay, dependable from the moment it serves the first of its all-day pancake-and-eggs breakfasts to the last of its £7.50-per-person cream teas. Lunchtime sees good-value sandwiches and toasties, but the real highlights are the £4.50 savoury scones, featuring flavours like beetroot and basil.
