The Bakers Arms almost seemed a little basic compared to the grandeur of some of the houses in the village. It's what might be described as an honest country pub without some of the fineries of the establishments in the tourist trap of nearby Chipping Campden. My pint of Prescott Hill Climb was very good; they were also selling Butcombe Original, Wye Valley HPA and Butty Bach all priced at £3.80 a pint.

Tiny village - and somehow, this pub manages to keep five hand pulls on the go.
Can't complain, as the wickwar bob was in terrific condition. Other choices were Stanney Bitter, 2xWye Valley and a Prescott Hill Climb.
Pub feel, with lots of diners.
Good beer guide 2019 entry.

Decent pint of Wye Valley but zilch atmosphere for an attractive pub and a TV blasting in my ear didn't help my impression.
|
Unfortunately this pub is under new management and the locals appear to have left along with the roaring log fire which has been replaced with a log burner. Still has a good selection of beers and Wye Valley HPA was the best along with Stanney Bitter but the atmosphere has gone.

A marvellous pub in every respect. 5 real ales, all beautifully kept, the best of which is Stanway Bitter, served beautifully at a perfect temperature and at �2.30 a pint.
Stupidly my party and I went on to Mickleton and Chipping Campden and didn't find a pint to compare with the Stanway or a price within a �1 of it.
Pick of the afternoon was certainly the Kings Arms in Mickleton who attempted to charge us �3.50 for a pint of Hook Norton ordinary. That's more than a �1 a pint more for a vastly inferior (by the admission of the Hooky head brewer) pint.
Today has been a salutary reminder, even though I live here, that one avoids the tourist centre pubs (Moreton, Stow, Chipping Campden) like the plague and heads for the outlying pubs that actually have to try to attract client�le.
The Baker's Arms is a prime example.

The main part of the pub is a reasonably large room with a big fire at one end and a bar serving 5 real ales and some cider. The pub is, obviously, popular with walkers and it serves a selection of good wholesome food with some specials on the board each day (e.g. pheasant breasts in a mushroom and white wine sauce at 8.95). It's exactly the sort of place you'd want to find after a morning country walk and fulfills this perfectly.
Good friendly staff here including the chef who seems to really be pleased that you're eating well. It's much cheaper to eat here than in any pub in Chipping Campden itself, where meals can be almost twice the price and not always as good.

STAYED IN THE BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE OF BROCKLEY, BUT VISITED THE BAKERS SEVERAL TIMES. BEER VERY GOOD, FOOD GOOD AND BOTH AT SENSIBLE PRICES.
OPEN ALL DAY , UNLIKE MOST OUT OF THE WAY COUNTRY PUBS. THE STANWAY
BITTER HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS IS THE PUB.
|
Pretty sure there were 4 ales, Donnington BB, Stanney, Wells and Tetley. Tried the Donnington's and the Stanney, bizarrely had to ask them to take off the sparkler! Good ale and pretty good value food, friendly staff so well worth a 7 out 10.

Five real ales (Donnington BB, Wells Bombardier, Stanney Bitter plus two guests), well kept in this GBG pub. Thatchers draught cider. Small village pub, with locals at the bar and an overflow dining room. Lovely village unusual for the Cotswolds in that many buildings are thatched. Open and serving food all day in the Summer. Attractive looking menu, found food OK rather than excellent, though was competitively-priced.

Recently returned from The Cotswolds and visited this cosy village pub a couple of times. The atmosphere was welcoming (friendly staff) with a warming fire and the food was 'good old fashioned homemade fare' with reasonable portions and prices. Varied traditional pub menu, plus specials board which changes daily and a decent choice of wines also. Apparently they do a great Sunday roast which we hope to try if we ever visit again.

Cracking pub.
They care about their cellar and their grub.
Always a nice crowd. Has some outdoor seating.
|
A Cotswold stone building dating from 1724. Once a bakery and grain store but now a pub serving Stanway Stanney Bitter, Donnington BB or SBA, Hook Norton, Wells Bombardier and guest beers.Look out for the handwoven rug hung on the wall showing the pub. It's been the local CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2005. There is a very varied menu available and the food is wonderful. Prices for this part of the world are reasonable. Certainly a pub worthy of further visits.
