Food scene
An easily accessible country pub on the A435 heading to Cheltenham. The garden fronts the River Churn and this pub has just been voted one of the best pubs in The Cotswolds by The Times. The food is not typical pub food - the idea is that you choose two or three small dishes per person - it is delicious. Do book.

Proper pub - good food and worth taking an ordnance survey map and heading out for a walk. The little shop is pricey but lovely for deli style treats.

Really, really worth a trip. Fab tree top walk and The Gruffalo and Friends lurk in the woods here - it really is a lovely place - especially at Christmas when you should book The Enchanted Walk.

This place is absolutely brilliant! A fringe theatre that punches well above its weight. Check out what is on and book in advance if poss. Also try out the little restaurant next door... I cannot recommend this place enough.
