We stopped by Lucy's Tearoom on our trip to Cotswold. It was rainy and cold day so some hot tea and…read morescones sounded delightful. We were sat upstairs near the window and it was nice and quiet there. Everything we ordered was delicious and we enjoyed our time here. Scone with cream and jam. I ordered plain scone. It was delicious. Warm fresh scone served with yummy cream and jam. I also ordered the chocolate cake tea with the scone and it was surprisingly good. Had some chocolate flavor and tasted good with milk. Hubby ordered Mac and cheese and it was served piping hot with a slice of garlic bread. Pretty good too! Kiddo ordered hot chocolate with marshmallows and a chocolate cake. The cake itself was soft and moist and not overly sweet. Went well with the tea and hot chocolate. The hot chocolate seemed standard and she seemed to like it. The place is not overly pricey for a touristy place. Service was also good and friendly.

This was my favorite afternoon tea while traveling in the UK and surpassed the more expensive…read moreafternoon teas elsewhere. I loved the simple scone with jam and clotted cream. The jam and cream were significantly superior to others I've had. There was also a wide selection of tea and some really funky and interesting ones as well! If I travel to the Cotswold again, I will surely be visiting Lucy's tearoom. The vibe was also cozy and welcoming. The service was a little slower but probably because we were seated on the second floor.

Cute little sandwich shop. Conveniently located, high quality ingredients, excellent service, and…read morethey have everything: ham pork bacon sausage salmon egg chicken, everything. The only complaint I have is that they put butter on my bread (which I do not like). Had I known they do that, by default, I would have asked for no butter. Other than that, everything was great. They only have a single bartop w 5 seats to sit at, so not very conducive to a sit down, but instead a take out place.

They do it so well i think they will be there another million years. Friendly couple in there told me some of the history of the place when i went in, but my eye were fixated on that spit roast spinning behind him. "I damn care about your history bro" i thought to myself, all i wanted that that perfect pork sandwich i know they can create. The place is cheap and the sandwiches are fat as hell.

My family and I (tourists) were in a hurry to get on the road, so I ordered the Hive Breakfast for myself and a slice of Mango, Lime, and Coconut cake for my mom. I was surprised they packed my breakfast into a box so neatly; it slid onto the plate at our vacation house as pictured! Everything was delicious and made in house (easy to taste that nothing came from a tin). They offered me a seat on the cozy couch by the window while I waited for my takeaway, so I didn't feel like I was in anyone's way. Must visit if you're centrally-located in Stow.
