The Old Lodge
Set in the heart of Minchinhampton Common, well away from main roads and with unrivalled views of the Cotswolds, The Old Lodge is the perfect place to take it easy. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the restaurant offer stunning views of the beautiful common land and the cattle that graze nearby. With locally sourced food and drink, the menu is now packed with a la carte-style dishes by chef Roland, who designs a regularly changing menu of international cuisine. Due to their location in the middle of Minchinhampton common, they’re popular with dog walkers, and golfers who have been playing a few rounds on the adjacent course.
