The Craven Arms - Cotswold

Eating was fantastic, the service was great. I had a roasted bark meal that was perfectly cooked, and lemon cheese cake dessert. I would definitely recommend, very satisfied with my visit, will soon be back

Went to the craven arms on Sunday for Mother’s Day with my family. The food was amazing, great quality ingredients, cooked to perfection. Service was just as good as the food, friendly and helpful waiting staff. Would definitely go again and would recommend to others

This pub is a hidden gem, welcoming staff, traditional and cosy atmosphere and the food was amazing. Perfect roast potatoes, meat cooked to perfection and a good verity of yummy veg washed down with good quality wine. We have eaten at most of the pubs...in the area on a Sunday but The Craven is by far the best! We will certainly be visiting again.

Stopped here for lunch whilst passing through The Cotswold Hills and based my visit on current Tripadvisor reviews. It's a lovely pub with a great atmosphere and well worth the small detour off the beaten path to find. They had non local Butcombe Ale on,...which was absolutely fine with me as the Haka Pale was superb. I was met by friendly people and had the Aranici starter, followed by an awesome beef and red wine pie with chips and the chocolate mouse to follow. What can I say? They have a very good chef, service was very good, but expect delays at peak times due to staff shortages. My mid-week lunch was unaffected by this. Portion size was reasonable for the price, but a little more veg and a few extra chips on my main would've helped, but I do have a hearty appetite. I could say the same with dessert, which was superb, but I could've easily eaten twice as much, it was that good. One thing to note is that a service charge is included, but my experience of their service was exemplary, so I was happy to pay. All in all, a top place to stop over, for lunch or dinner, in The Cotswolds.

We arrived as part of a groups of us, It was very cosy end warm throughout the pub as it was cold outside and warmed up very quick. Staff were friendly and smiley which made us as ease, From the drinks we had they were...lovely, and the ale tasted as it should. The menu wasn’t presented to well, I felt like a I had to sieve through it, that’s where the complaining ends. The food was hot, tasty and visually looked good, I had the duck, bubble and squeak and cherry sauce, we waited about 30/35 minutes, table of 6 of us but it was very busy so we were happy. Dessert we had cheesecake which was lovely also. Definitely come back, fair value for good food and lovely atmosphere and staff .
