About this restaurant

  • Dog-friendly
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
Set in the picturesque Southern Cotswolds village of Sherston, The Rattlebone Inn is a classic English country pub, rich with charm and character. Led by Head Chef Roger Payne, our menu celebrates locally-sourced ingredients, offering juicy steaks, seasonal game, fresh fish, homemade desserts, and artisan cheeses. Chef Payne’s creations blend classic pub favorites with innovative dishes, making it the best food in the area.

Our cosy interior and fully heated, well-ventilated garden offer comfort year-round. We pride ourselves on high-quality real ales, a wine list with over 30 selections, a fine malt whiskey collection, and specialty cocktails.

The Rattlebone is a community hub, hosting regular events and themed food nights. For larger gatherings, our back restaurant, skittle alley, and garden can accommodate private dining, BBQs, hog roasts, or even a giant paella. Visit us for great food, drink, and warm hospitality.

    Always an outstanding roast and haven’t found better. Huge portions and food is always absolute perfection. Love they do pigs in blankets all year round and great value for money.
