The Bathurst Arms

We stayed here after visiting the beautiful gardens over the road. The new tenants are lovely. We had dinner and breakfast, all gluten free and no contamination. All meals were delicious. A nicely situated, lovely country pub with local flavour.

So this was the walk today which was excellent set by Stickman and guided by Kitkat. Now the roast dinner review you have all been waiting for. I booked a table for 2 at 7am Saturday 3rd for 1.30pm Sunday 4th at the Bathurst Arms. Confirmed the booking via a text. We arrived back at the pub 12.45 on the Sunday excellent service cross the bar for a couple of pints of St. Miguel. Checked that the lunch was still good for the 1.30 pm booking, all good so far. Ordered another pint of St Miguel at 1.15 pm and ordered the Roast Beef and Pork belly for 1.30pm paid for the beer and both meals, asked to include the service charge of 10% which I paid. Total £50.99 (£4.64 service charge) Shown to table at 1.35 pm no one approached the table to ask about our order, so spoke to the waitress at 14.00 to enquire about our order and remarked the service was not up to scratch. She returned saying our food would be ready in 5 minutes. The gentleman who was serving behind the bar came to the table with £4.64 in cash, no apology. The meals turned up about 5 minutes later the Yorkshire pudding was with the pork not the beef? Asked if we would like sauces asked for apple and horseradish sauce which turned up 5 minutes later. My food was very tasty and all cooked just right, Sue’s food was also eaten but she wasn’t very happy with the pork. There were 2 pepper pots on the table so we swapped one for a salt from the table next to us, there wasn’t any salt in it. To round things up good service across the bar, tasty food, terrible table service and lack of attention to detail. Would I eat there again?…..you decide I probably will never go to that pub again.

The food was excellent for our lunch time meal and birthday celebration for 88 year old, the crumble was the best ever and everything was absolutely amazing the welcome, the service and the food will definitely be going there more often. Thank you the staff at the Bathurst Arms.

we just popped in for lunch on our way to Cirencester. A nice pub in a pretty setting and good range of beers. We had fish and chips which was £12.50, we were surprised to see such a small piece of fish offered for this price. It was all cooked fine just a very stingy portion.

My husband and I were looking forward to a great Sunday lunch yesterday after a long walk. Unfortunately it was the worse lunch we have had for a long time! I had the Stilton mushrooms to start, they were swimming in oil and I couldn’t taste any Stilton, hubby had the salmon which looked good just served with a stale slice of French bread. We both had the beef, I had to leave all of mine, firstly I couldn’t cut through it, I had so much fat on my plate and secondly it was red raw, don’t think it saw the inside of a cooker! Luckily the veg and roast potatoes were nice but the gravy was so tasteless, as if every fat from every joint was mixed in it! The young girl that served us was so slow. She asked us if we would like to see the desert menu, 10 minutes later she gave us one! I would have liked the crumble as I was still hungry but we never saw her again! So after 15 minutes we paid the bill of “£97” and left! Such a shame as it has the potential of being a great pub, but management need to sort the job out! We won’t be returning!

Food and service was amazing especially the home cooked pies ☺️ and so was our chats with the landlady and landlord , such a warm welcoming Cotswolds pub , we will most certainly be back and looking forward to meeting baby Gabriel, see you soon
