The Bathurst Arms

Sudden decision to take a trip out and came upon the Bathurst Arms. Shown to a table straightaway, ordered drinks (draughty beer - excellent) and off lunchtime menu. Excellent value and food cooked to exceptional standard. Really friendly staff, polite and courteous. Thoroughly recommend.

So this was the walk today which was excellent set by Stickman and guided by Kitkat. Now the roast dinner review you have all been waiting for. I booked a table for 2 at 7am Saturday 3rd for 1.30pm Sunday 4th at the Bathurst Arms. Confirmed the booking via a text. We arrived back at the pub 12.45 on the Sunday excellent service cross the bar for a couple of pints of St. Miguel. Checked that the lunch was still good for the 1.30 pm booking, all good so far. Ordered another pint of St Miguel at 1.15 pm and ordered the Roast Beef and Pork belly for 1.30pm paid for the beer and both meals, asked to include the service charge of 10% which I paid. Total £50.99 (£4.64 service charge) Shown to table at 1.35 pm no one approached the table to ask about our order, so spoke to the waitress at 14.00 to enquire about our order and remarked the service was not up to scratch. She returned saying our food would be ready in 5 minutes. The gentleman who was serving behind the bar came to the table with £4.64 in cash, no apology. The meals turned up about 5 minutes later the Yorkshire pudding was with the pork not the beef? Asked if we would like sauces asked for apple and horseradish sauce which turned up 5 minutes later. My food was very tasty and all cooked just right, Sue’s food was also eaten but she wasn’t very happy with the pork. There were 2 pepper pots on the table so we swapped one for a salt from the table next to us, there wasn’t any salt in it. To round things up good service across the bar, tasty food, terrible table service and lack of attention to detail. Would I eat there again?…..you decide I probably will never go to that pub again.

we just popped in for lunch on our way to Cirencester. A nice pub in a pretty setting and good range of beers. We had fish and chips which was £12.50, we were surprised to see such a small piece of fish offered for this price. It was all cooked fine just a very stingy portion.
