Pubs and Inns

Travelling the Great West Way is the perfect opportunity to discover the real England. And what could be more English than a pub? We’ve got plenty to sample along the route… Traditional thatched village inns with muddy walking boots stacked by the door and dogs lazing by the fire. Award-winning modern gastropubs serving quality local produce cooked to perfection. Busy beer gardens filled with families enjoying the summer sunshine.

Luckily you're never far from a pub or an inn when travelling the Great West Way. The Crown & Anchor in Wiltshire celebrates traditional British cooking with a contemporary twist within a charming country inn setting. The award-winning Queens Arms in Hungerford provides a range of delicious meals in its pub and restaurant.

On a hot summer’s day, there’s nothing nicer than a cold pint of local craft beer, a West Country cider or a gin and tonic in a pretty beer garden. In the winter, head to the pub for a hearty Sunday lunch and a seat next to a roaring fire. In the city, spend an evening at your local for a great night out. If you’re walking or cycling the Great West Way, treat yourself to a rest stop and a well-earned midday meal at a rural inn - you’ll be set up for the rest of the day.

Don’t forget to leave plenty of time for your pub stops during your Great West Way adventure. Popping into an English pub for a quick sandwich can easily turn into a long afternoon spent swapping stories with the locals, playing board games and sampling the local delicacies.
