"He that travels in theory has no inconveniences; he has shade and sunshine at
his disposal,
and wherever he alights finds tables of plenty." - Samuel Johnson
Cotswold Restaurants and Tea Shops cater for all tastes and can be found extensively throughout the Cotswolds region, each with it's own style and specialty.
The English Tea Shop is known throughout the world for it's traditional style, freshly made cream cakes, and pots of tea - a style emulated from the middle east to eastern Europe but never quite like those to be found in England and in particular in the Cotswolds where the tradition of taking tea dates back 300 years.
The great perception by foreign visitors of English restaurant food not having a very good reputation has long been laid to rest and one of the great modern day pre-occupations of the English is the maintenance of high standards of cuisine to equal and if not better their counterparts in Europe.

The Five Alls at Filkins is very pleased to welcome their new Head Chef Rob Wallis.
A specialist in great British Food he has been looking for a suitable break from his busy job as Head Chef at The Thatched House in West London.
Rob has just finished a tour of local producers and commented, "The local suppliers in the Cotswolds are amazing, we can source our dairy from a local dairy, beef from 5oo yards down the road and even have Lechlade Trout for our Gravadlax!"
Even the real Ales have proved popular with Oxford Gold being the chef's new favourite tipple
