The South Cotswolds holds many attractions and events and the Cat is superbly situated to be able to enjoy many of these. Both the historic towns of Tetbury and Malmesbury are within a stone’s throw of us.

A three-mile radius encompasses Westonbirt Arboretum and Westonbirt school, Highgrove gardens, and the Beaufort polo club. Badminton and Gatcombe horse trials are both within easy reach. We are 24 miles from the Roman spa town of Bath and from the city of Bristol, both with their many attractions. Cheltenham races are 34 miles from the Cat.

Apart from these attractions, we are in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) with many wonderful walks direct from our front door. We welcome well-behaved dogs.
Our chef’s mission is to serve delicious pub food at reasonable prices. Our ingredients are fresh and largely sourced from local suppliers. Our menu changes with the seasons and availability of quality produce.

    The ambience and the food is fantastic , exactly what we’re were hoping for on a Sunday afternoon. The food was all delicious, and the service was good although we had to wait / visit the bar for a drink on occasion ( but they were busy)

    1st time we've eaten here, have come in for drinks on a couple of occasions. Really pleased, a nice menu, well cooked, ALL staff were lovely, but also do leave you alone to eat after checking you're ok. Nice atmosphere, nicely decorated, warm and cosy, the landlord lit the log burner as well which was welcome. We will definitely eat here again, and would like to come back on a summers evening when the pizza over is going. Really happy, thank you

    Food is always delicious. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Food is served in a timely manner. Lovely country pub vibe, especially when the fire’s on.

    Went for a Sunday roast. Very good but the vegetables could have had a few minutes longer in the oven.

    Friendly and efficient service. Main course, roast beef dinner was good. Vegetables brought separately in two dishes were the same, broccoli and red cabbage. We later realised from other diners that one of the dishes should have been carrots and parsnips! We weren’t asked if we required any accompaniments ie mustard/horseradish. The crumble on the apple crumble pudding was very hard (left half of it) and the custard was in a small pot buried in the centre of the crumble. No handle so impossible to pick up without getting the crumble all over your fingers. Very strange presentation. The top of the treacle tart was hard and chewy. Had it been microwaved? The table we were allocated was next to an external door overlooking the patio and an uncomfortable cold draught was ever present. Unfortunately, not up to the standard of our previous visit.
