About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Located just a few miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, it offers the perfect country retreat and is an ideal base from which to explore Shakespeare’s haunts as well as the rolling hills and river valleys of the Cotswolds.

Steeped in history, the building once housed the local blacksmith and in the 18th Century became a popular Coaching Inn. It remains Armscote’s only pub and, saved and sensitively refurbished in 2013 by the family behind Baylis & Harding, it retains many distinctive character features. Beautiful exposed beams, flagstone floors and magnificent fireplaces give that rustic feel with clever and contemporary touches, lending this remarkable building a luxurious yet comfortable atmosphere, which can’t fail to charm. We welcome children and four-legged friends and our pub garden is ideal for families to enjoy leisurely lunches, drinks or snacks whilst the beautifully landscaped courtyard garden offers a sophisticated area to drink or dine.

    This would be a 5 star but for some strange reason the menu is firmly in winter. Winter fruits, winter vegetables etc. I’m not sure why Spring and Summer have bypassed the midlands? I’d expect a restaurant of this standard to be making the most of UK seasonal produce. Shame as it’s lovely.

    Superb establishment. Amazing food . I'm G F and they obliged with differentiating dishes. Wine was stunning and not too overpriced for the quality. Staff and management were friendly and efficient. Definitely would recommend.

    Olivia was very helpful indeed. Nothing was too much trouble from start to finish.Olivia explained the menu very well. All the other staff were very friendly as well. It is ,without doubt, one of the very best Sunday Lunches I have ever eaten. Scrumptious
