The Experience

Find a series of very comfortable beamed dining rooms around a cosy bar, with old flagstones, rugs on boards, blazing winter log fires and a happy mix of locals and walkers with their dogs – it’s a bustling, happy place. Top-notch local food evolves with the seasons and includes home-baked bread, beef from the Cirencester Park herd of cattle, venison and lamb reared just fields away. Summer evenings in the charming courtyard garden will be memorable.

Bedrooms upstairs have calming colours, large beds, smart TVs, sound-proofed floors and mini kitchens but you won’t want to miss the food downstairs. Breakfast is a feast of all the usual culprits plus smoked mackerel with scrambled eggs, oyster mushrooms and spinach with cream cheese on toast, porridge with honey. Ale lovers will find plenty of local beers and there’s a wine wall for buying or drinking here.

Stride out on glorious Cotswold walks or potter along the canal tow path.

Reviews

The trailblazing Cotswold 'gastropub' continues to wow walkers, drinkers, and diners for its laid-back charm, local ales, unique wines from small producers, seasonal menus, three charming upstairs rooms, and the beautiful hillside village setting close to Cirencester Park. All have been key ingredients to the roaring success of Peter Austen's spruced up 300-year-old pub.

Location

The neighbourhood

The village is famous for its connection with the Arts and Crafts movement and there are many fine buildings to gaze at, including the magnificent village hall. You're near to Cirencester Park and the town itself for good shops, a market on Saturdays and an outstanding church. Romantics will head to Kelmscott Manor for an insight into William Morris's life or Woodchester Park for walks and lakes.

Local points of interest from Peter Austen

  • Corinium (Roman name for Cirencester) Museum is a must-see visit for this Roman town and its history.
  • Located on the edge of the Bathurst Estate, we have dozens of beautiful Cotswold woodland walks for any ability, literally on our doorstep. The Estate has the most historic Polo Club in the country. Tournaments finals are usually played on a Sunday.
  • New Brewery Arts is a converted Victorian brewery and it's a hub of excellent visual art, crafts and performances.
  • The Abbey Grounds was consecrated in 1176 in the presence of Henry II. In 1539 was completely demolished.
  • The village of Sapperton is famous for the English Arts & Crafts movement. The village church and Village Hall are both of historic interest with links to the movement.
  • The Sapperton Canal Tunnel runs for 2 miles under the village and fields and was once the longest tunnel in Britain. The disused canal and tunnel portal are just 10 minutes walk from the pub.
