Best pubs in Broadway in the Cotswolds
The village of Broadway is an iconic Cotswold location with a wide main street, independent shops and honey-hued buildings. It is a popular location with visitors heading to Broadway Tower which overlooks the village and is a pleasant walk from where you can enjoy the surrounding views. With many small villages on the outskirts you have a host of country pubs in spectacular locations to enjoy.
The Lygon Arms
Broadway
The Lygon Bar and Grill is a celebration of all things Cotswolds in a refined and elegant setting that showcases the extraordinary history of this building. Large ornate windows, huge fireplaces and elaborately decorated ceilings are the backdrop to a local and seasonally inspired menu by James Martin. Relax in the lounges with a cocktail and some light bites rather than a full meal if you’d prefer. The pub-style Tavern by James Martin has also just opened and is the perfect place to relax with a local cider or ale.
