"He that travels in theory has no inconveniences; he has shade and sunshine at
his disposal, and wherever he alights finds tables of plenty." - Samuel Johnson
Cotswold Restaurants and Tea Shops cater for all tastes and can be found extensively throughout the Cotswolds region, each with its own style and specialty.
The English Tea Shop is known throughout the world for it's traditional style, freshly made cream cakes, and pots of tea - a style emulated from the middle east to eastern Europe but never quite like those to be found in England and in particular in the Cotswolds where the tradition of taking tea dates back 300 years.
The great perception by foreign visitors of English restaurant food not having a very good reputation has long been laid to rest and one of the great modern day pre-occupations of the English is the maintenance of high standards of cuisine to equal and if not better their counterparts in Europe.
