About
The Pheasant Inn at Toddington, about 3 miles north of Winchcombe, is a traditional Cotswold inn next to Toddington station on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway. It is a Donnington Brewery pub (CAMRA's pub guide lists the brewery as the freeholder), serving Donnington Ales, and has been run since March 2016, as tenants, by Rich, who cooks, and Carys, who runs front of house.
The food is homecooked from locally sourced ingredients, on main and Sunday menus that change daily, with separate gluten-free and vegan menus and roasts on Sundays. There is a beer garden. It suits families and anyone spending the day on the railway, whose engine shed and play area are next door.
It opens Tuesday to Sunday from 11am, and on Mondays in December. Food is served at lunch and from 6pm to 9pm, Tuesday to Saturday, and on Sundays at lunch only, from midday to 5pm. Book ahead for Sunday lunch.
