Wine and Dine in the Cotswolds
Spend a chilly November evening in a cosy country pub and enjoy a variety of locally sourced food. Our favourite is The Churchill Arms, an idyllic 17th century pub with a celebrated menu and a good choice in wines and local ales. Proprietor and head chef, Nick Deverell-Smith successfully delivers dishes with a twist on traditional British classics. A trip here is a charming experience and a must for anyone visiting the Cotswolds.
