Taste of the Cotswolds

Fresh, fabulous and found locally; the Cotswolds offers an amazing selection of quality food and drink.

From field...

Meet farmers and producers first-hand; farmers’ markets take place in most towns, and the award-winning Stroud Farmers’ Market spills out through the streets every Saturday morning. Why not pick up some local produce and make up a picnic to enjoy in the beautiful Cotswold countryside?

Foodies will love exploring local farm shops, distilleries and specialist food stores for local favourites such as Tewkesbury mustard, Stinking Bishop cheese, Hobbs House bread and Cotswolds Dry Gin.

Tickle your taste buds at the food and drink festivals that take place throughout the year in Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Witney, as well as in the grounds of stunning Blenheim Palace.

To fork...

The Cotswolds has earned itself a well-deserved reputation with foodies for the quality and variety of its pubs, cafés and restaurants – and it has a happy sprinkling of Michelin stars too!

Cheltenham is well-known for its café culture and after dark you will be spoilt for choice with the wide array of restaurants and bars. Market towns such as Moreton-in-Marsh, Stroud, Tewkesbury and Witney are bursting with independent coffee shops and restaurants. While in most villages, you will find a traditional country pub or quintessentially English tearoom – perfect for a Cotswolds afternoon tea.
