Wheatsheaf

Top choice in The Cotswolds


Lively, stylish and laid-back, this beautifully revamped coaching inn – where diners dig into excellent, elegant seasonal British dishes with a contemporary kick – is a huge local hit. The inventive, unpretentious menu delights with seasonal risottos, shellfish, richly flavoured pies, succulent steaks and some tempting sides, along with all-essential aperitifs and complimentary sparkling water. It also has fabulous old-meets-new rooms, upstairs.
