The Tunnel House Inn
Historic Cotswold Inn
A Gem at the End of the Track
A Beautiful Cotswold Pub
Built in the 1770s to cater for the thirsty navvies & leggers* of the Thames & Severn Canal, it has adapted over the centuries to cater for all.
Set in an idyllic location and providing excellent fresh-cooked food, outstanding ales and a superb wine list, you may find it hard to leave. We will welcome you with roaring fires during the winter and a beautiful beer garden in the summer to come and enjoy Gloucestershire’s finest.
We invite you to join us…
*Navigational Engineers or “navvies” built the canals and the railways in the 18th and 19th Centuries and were famously hard drinking. Leggers propelled canal traffic through tunnels by lying on barges and pushing against the ceiling. Manual labour then as now is very thirsty work.
The Bar & Dining
Eating & Drinking
Our ethos is simple: to serve high quality, good value pub food. All our food is prepared fresh on site, using local suppliers* who share our commitment to sustainable farming practices and the highest animal welfare standards.
To accompany good, honest food we serve the finest ales that England is lucky enough to enjoy, excellent lagers and wines that have been chosen after a rigorous tasting process to give something delicious for everyone to try.
*Meat from 4 Season’s Butchery (Cirencester), fruit & vegetables from Creed (Cheltenham), bread from Hobbs House Bakery (Chipping Sodbury), game (shot locally in season), seafood line caught from UK fisheries
