About
The Cat & Custard Pot Inn is a village pub on The Street in Shipton Moyne, about 2.5 miles from Tetbury, with eight en suite bedrooms. Well-behaved dogs are welcome throughout the pub.
There are two places to eat. The pub restaurant serves classic British dishes with seasonal, locally sourced produce at lunch and dinner every day, with Sunday lunch from noon to 7.30pm; the roast beef is grass-fed from Luckington Farm nearby. The Chalet, a separate room with a log burner and a terrace, serves southern Italian food from Friday to Sunday: wood-fired pizza and fresh pasta, with pizzas to take away. Local musicians play there on Sundays.
Tables for both are booked online or by phone. Room guests can have a freshly cooked full English breakfast. The rooms are listed on Expedia and Trip.com with check-in from 3pm to 10pm, check-out by 11am, free parking on site and dogs taken in the rooms for a charge, given on Expedia as £20 a pet a stay. Shipton Moyne is close to Westonbirt Arboretum and Highgrove, and about ten minutes' drive from Malmesbury.
