Description

It doesn’t take long after you enter this welcoming pub before you notice how fiercely proud it is of its horseracing links. Don’t be surprised to see the day’s runners and riders on the TV in the memorabilia-filled bar, where you can settle in for a local ale and the ‘Nap of the Day’ lunch deal. For more substantial fare, head to the beamed dining room for classic pub dishes ranging from Scotch eggs to gammon chop. For dessert, the black treacle and date pudding provides a delightful sugar rush that will have you hurtling over the finish line.

Review summary

Located in Naunton, Hollow Bottom is a traditional British pub with racing history and a cozy woodburner. Based on 80 TripAdvisor reviews averaging 3.8/5, guests frequently praise the warm service, inviting atmosphere, and quality food such as squash and goat cheese pie, mussels, and an excellent wine list. Many highlight its family-friendly nature and dog-welcoming policy. However, negative feedback cites inconsistent food availability on special nights (e.g., missing steak or chicken), slow meal pacing, and occasional underwhelming dish quality. While the ambiance is generally described as characterful, some find it austere. It offers a classic Cotswolds pub experience, though diners should verify menu availability during peak times.

Best for

Suitable for travelers seeking a traditional Cotswolds pub atmosphere, wine enthusiasts, and families, but avoid booking on major holidays due to limited menu options.
