The Fox

Set in the picturesque Windrush Valley, this busy 17th-century former coaching house is at the heart of this pretty village. Popular with walkers, cyclists and with those attending Cheltenham racecourse, this quintessential Cotswold inn is built of mellow local stone and characterised by low ceilings, beams and log fires. The inn offers a range of well-kept Donnington beers and a concise wine list. Enjoy a meal in the main bar or the riverside dining room. Quality produce from local suppliers dominates a menu that might offer dishes like filo parcels of Windrush goat's cheese, leek and mushrooms; Tagmoor Farm strip steak Stroganoff; local Bibury trout with salad; or whole roasted Cotswold pigeon with cranberry and orange stuffing. The pub has a delightful patio and large beer garden overlooking the River Windrush - on warm days it's a perfect summer watering hole and base for lovely local walks and cycle routes.
