About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Dog-friendly
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.

    Absolutely wonderful early Mother’s Day lunch. Had a great walk around the local area and then settled in for a scrumptious lunch and we weren’t disappointed. Fab ambience, great service and the food was amazing.

    Fabulous quintessential village pub who offer an excellent menu together with wine list. Excellent food served together with prompt service and attention to detail. Lovely cosy relaxed ambiance dog friendly and there's a car park. Can't wait to re-visit....

    Unfortunately not very impressed. Table booked for 12.30, no staff at all at the bar to greet us until 12.50. Beef had mounds of horrible looking fat, potatoes were not roasted, whole meal was greasy. Veg was good, but my business partner’s lamb was 50% fat leaving just a few mouthfuls of very chewy truly awful meat. On a positive note, once staff were finally available, they were attentive & polite.

    Staff were friendly, pub was cosy and warm and the ambience was lovely. Sadly the food was a little disappointing. Three of us had steak which was tough and we could hardly eat it. We did tell the server who told the chef and we did get a small discount off the bill. Some of the starters were a little small and bland in taste. So overall it was a lovely place to eat just a little disappointed in the food. We love The Chalet so we’ll be back there next time for super pizzas!

    We had a lovely Sunday lunch. The food was cooked to perfection and the serving staff were excellent. Although busy, we were served very quickly.

    We had a lovely lunch today… impeccable service & the food was very well presented & tasted excellent. 2 course lunch… £21.50 Well worth it ! Wish we lived nearer but have occasional visits to the arboretum so stopping off for a meal here is a must!
