If your idea of the perfect staycation involves roaring fires, countryside walks, and hearty plates of food that warm you from the inside out, you’ve just found your first stop.

Tucked in the heart of Broad Campden, The Bakers Arms is a Cotswold gem where the welcome is as cosy as the surroundings. Whether you’re staying nearby or just passing through on a crisp country escape, here’s why we should be at the top of your itinerary.

Fuel Up Before You Explore

The Cotswolds is a walker’s paradise, and from our front door you can wander to Chipping Campden, take on the Dover’s Hill Loop, or meander the quiet lanes that make this corner of Gloucestershire so magical. But first, you’ll need something to keep you going.

We’re talking beer-battered fish & chips with pea purée, our indulgent dry-aged beef burger stacked with bacon and cheese, or the comforting richness of our oxtail & French onion soup with Gruyère croute. Pair it with a local ale or a glass of wine, and you’re set for your September trail ahead.

A Post-Walk Reward Worth Planning For

After a day of windswept hills, golden stone villages, and frosty hedgerows, nothing beats sinking into a chair here with something hearty in front of you.

Think half-roast chicken with lemon & thyme, fries and saffron aioli, our smoked haddock croquetas with mustard mayo, or a piping hot haddock & leek cake topped with a poached egg and wild garlic hollandaise.

Sunday Roasts That Feel Like Home

If your staycation lands on a Sunday - you’re in luck, our roasts are the stuff of local legend. Served with golden roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, seasonal veg, and rich gravy. Choose from topside of Cotswold beef, chicken supreme, or roast loin of pork, and settle in for the afternoon.

Drinks That Toast the Season

From local ales and carefully chosen wines to spiced seasonal specials, our bar is ready to keep you topped up. Whether it’s a crisp cider after a sunny walk or a rich red by the fire, it’s all part of the autumnal Bakers Arms experience.

The Perfect Staycation Stop-Off

So, whether you’re here for the weekend or just passing through on a day trip, make us your first and last stop. After all, good food, good drink, and a warm Cotswold welcome are what staycations are made of.
