Fab food and a great range of dishes and specials at decent prices. Service was a bit slow, they seem to be trying to recruit more staff, which would help. It was cold in there though, we had to keep coats on. There was a small log fire in one room but that wasn't enough to heat the whole place and the windows are all single glazed. It's an historic building, I get that, and a pretty one at that. But no excuse not to have a big roaring log fire (or three!) on a cold day.

Friendly staff, delicious food and fast service. Have put The Golden Heart Inn on my shortlist for places to go back to Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: Many dishes here can be altered to cater for Gluten or Dairy free

So many vegan options in this outskirts pub! From starters all the way to deserts, even a vegan Sunday roast! Pet friendly place, lovely food and great atmosphere around the fire pit. Recommended Vegetarian options: A full vegan menu

Nice little find when staying in the Cotswold. Brilliant menu with lots of choice and decent portions. Food was service and well presented - a little on the over cooked side (we had Thai chicken and liver dishes) but nice enough. 👌 Service was lovely; staff were absolutely lovely. We started eating in garden but it was a bit noisy (understandably) and a bit on the scruffy side, but overall it is a charming place well worth a visit.

Didn’t have high hopes when we walked in on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon to find it empty, but I have no idea why! The 2 guys serving were lovely, amazing selection of vegan choices which is so rare, and food was lovely and well presented. Lovely to take the dog and look over the fields 👍

We stopped at The Golden Heart Inn on our way to Cotswolds. The place is very cosy, good choice of food, drinks and deserts. The staff are very nice and regularly checking if all is OK.

The "real deal" historic pub, with excellent food (we love what we had, and sneaked peeks at everybody else's food coming out as well!). Friendly service and historic, but comfortable atmosphere. Good news for vegans, massive set of options on the board... Don't be fooled by the website where there's just a few listed. Also nice to play the board games left for guests... Amazingly this 16th century pub was at risk of demolition due to road expansion, a fate that befell it's 18th century neighbor, astonishing.

Came here for a meal out whilst visiting the Cotswolds. Gorgeous food, incredibly friendly service and we would come again. Great vegan options! Our dog loved all the staff who kindly gave her a dog bowl and lots of fuss. 5 stars!

We’ve always driven past this place and thought: “Wouldn’t it be nice to try this one day?” Today was that day, and what a meal!!! Great price for what you get and stunning food; everything was cooked really well and packed full of flavour! There is great choice on the menu, even for vegans (if you are that way inclined) and it’s all reasonably priced! The roasts were £12.95 each and vastly better than a typical carvery! Lots of parking, a charming and well decorated pub. They also had an open log fire and a lovely wood burner in the room we were in! It was so warm and welcoming.
