The Bear of Rodborough

Description

Retreat to The Bear of Rodborough, set amongst the rolling hills of the Cotswolds and National Trust countryside, where even the occasional cow might wander past. Full of charm and character, it’s the perfect escape — a true home from home.

Sink into a cosy armchair by the fire with a book, or catch up with friends over a drink. From cask ales and indulgent hot chocolate to English tea and homemade cakes, there’s always something to enjoy at The Bear Bar. If you’re feeling hungrier, our menus feature relaxed lunches and hearty suppers to satisfy every craving.

On warmer days, head outside to our Pavilion Garden Bar, where fairy lights, deckchairs, and Kilner jars of your favourite treats create a true garden party feel. Open daily (weather permitting), it’s the perfect spot for family favourites, garden games for the little ones, and even Caboodle treats for your four-legged friends after a walk on the common.

A food lover’s dream without the fuss, our restaurant offers relaxed country dining with a distinctly British touch. Our seasonal menus showcase the best local produce, served in a warm and welcoming setting.

Join us daily for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, or dinner — and don’t miss our traditional Sunday roast with all the trimmings.

We can also offer private dining for up to 80 guests in one of our spacious rooms – contact us for more details.
