Three breweries supply many of the region's pubs. Donnington Brewery's pubs include the Black Horse at Naunton, the Mount Inn at Stanton and the White Bear at Shipston-on-Stour. Hook Norton runs the Great Western Arms at Blockley, and Wadworth the White Hart at Castle Combe and the George and the Red Lion at Lacock. Our guide to Cotswold pubs and the breweries behind them tells their stories, and our pub walks end at many of their pubs. Our pick of the best pubs in the Cotswolds goes from village greens to riverbanks.
Bybrook, the restaurant at the Manor House at Castle Combe, kept its Michelin star in the 2026 guide. The Trough at Daylesford Farm, near Kingham, holds a Green Michelin star, as do the farm's other two restaurants, the Legbar and the Old Spot.
Daylesford's farm shop opens every day, from 8am to 6pm and from 9am to 5pm on Sundays. Stroud's farmers' market fills the streets around Cornhill every Saturday morning, and Cirencester's Charter Market runs on Mondays and Fridays. In Coln St Aldwyns the village shop, café and post office is owned by the people of Coln St Aldwyns, Hatherop and Quenington, through a community company set up in 2012; Anne Robinson opened the refurbished shop in June 2013. Our page on Stroud Farmers' Market has the trains and parking.

In the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, the Kingham Plough on the green opens daily from 8.30am, and the Wild Rabbit, also at Kingham, serves dinner from Wednesday to Sunday.
