About
Eleven Bibury is a café, brasserie and gallery shop at 11 The Street, directly opposite Arlington Row, in the middle of Bibury village, for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. It opens every day from 9am to 5pm.
The day runs from coffee and pastries baked on site, through breakfast from 9am to 11.30am, to a brasserie menu served from noon: flat iron chicken at £24, a vegan sweet potato salad at £13 and sandwiches from £13, as priced in 2026. Afternoon tea is served from 3pm to 5pm and booked by phone; the Arlington tea, £35 a head in 2026, is for two or more, and a cream tea was £10.50. The café closes at 5pm from Monday to Thursday; Summer Lates keep it going until 8pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and were still running in November 2026.
Behind the building is a terraced garden for coffee or a glass of wine, and inside a gallery shop of work by Cotswold makers. The village post office is here too, on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 4pm. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the café and outside, and walk-ins are always welcome.
It suits the early visitor best. Come at 9am, see Arlington Row and the river before the day fills, then walk the 4-mile loop by the River Coln from the bridge by the Swan, or cross to the trout farm. Parking in the village is limited, particularly at weekends and in summer, so come early or by bus.
