The Golden Heart Inn - Birdlip

I stumbled upon this hidden gem during lunchtime. The interior of the pub has a charming old-world feel, and there's a lovely outdoor seating area that's perfect for sunny days. While you can enjoy a beautiful view outside, there is some noise from the main road. However, if you sit further back in the garden, it’s much more peaceful. The pub has low beam ceilings and is currently undergoing renovations, but it's still open for business. I was particularly impressed by their vegetarian and vegan menu options.

I was casually seeing this girl and we took a drive from Manchester to Stonehenge for the Winter Solstice. Things got pretty awkward when she found out that I had never heard Wham's "Last Christmas." She became really upset and refused to stop the car for most of the ride back. I was starving, and the only thing she would let me snack on were Jaffa cakes. Meanwhile, she kept playing the soundtrack from Footloose while I pleaded for lunch. Eventually, we pulled into this spot, where we mingled with the older locals and enjoyed a lovely meal—plowman’s lunches all around! I highly recommend eating here—but maybe skip dating that girl.

This restaurant is somewhat secluded, but it features a spacious garden with beautiful views and a charming interior. The menu is quite unique for a pub, but they execute it very well. I enjoyed an ostrich steak, which was outstanding. The service, however, was average and could use some improvement.

Quaint country pub with a roaring open fire and great food. Also carries a selection of interesting lagers from Cotswold brewery, I particularly enjoyed the Cotswold Winter lager.

We had lunch at this restaurant and enjoyed a burger and chips. The meal was flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the chips were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend visiting, as they also offer a great vegetarian and vegan menu. Kayley, the barmaid, was fantastic!
