The Crown at Ampney Brook is a lovingly restored 16th century inn nestled in the Cotswolds countryside. Always ready with a warm welcome, they take pride in serving quality, seasonal menus that champion our local farms and producers, as well as great wines by the glass and proper cocktails. Elevate your brunch with bottomless drinks and enjoy complimentary bottomless roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings with your Sunday Lunches.

Food and drink is our pride and joy. The seasonal, farm-to-table menus are inspired by the idyllic Cotswolds surroundings, focusing on top quality meats, fish and vegetables sourced as locally as possible.

At the centre of the action is the open copper kitchen, where chefs cook up hearty dishes such as ribeyes on a Robata Grill, as well as jazzed up classics like prawn cocktails and crème brulées. Sit up at the bar to watch our cocktail shakers mix classic and bespoke recipes, or take advantage of the enomatic machine and get stuck into our fine wines by the glass.

We have something for everyone, whether you’re after a casual weekday lunch in the pub, dinner at the chef’s table or a party inone of the private dining rooms or alfresco domes.

    This place is really cute and cozy. Excellent breakfast. Includes fruits, cheeses, cold cut, cereal etc and an extensive menu of freshly cooked hot breakfast items. Staff are very friendly and efficient. The cappuccino was a bit disappointing. I tried Earl Grey tea the next day and that was also like warm.

    Lovely outdoor seating along the brook. Service was mixed, the person who brought us our food was clearly not in a good mood, whereas our main server was friendly. Our food was good quality, albeit slightly overcooked, despite ordering the steak medium rare. A nice spot and overall the issues did not detract from an enjoyable evening.

    We spent two nights at Wild Thyme and Honey and ate here both nights and had a fantastic experience. Angel was our server both nights and she was great! She was friendly and attentive. The food was fabulous - highly recommend to anyone visiting!
