“ Oh wow! We had a lovely lunch today at the Pennycress. We were there at about 12.30 and I’m still not hungry ( 6pm now and that’s unusual!) Great service, lovely interesting menu. We also picked up some local organic milk ( we already had an empty bottle in the car but you can buy a bottle to fill) I also cheekily picked up a lovely bunch of dark purple hydrangeas which were so beautiful. We will be back! Such a gem of a place in a lovely village ”

“ We were travelling from Cheltenham to Salisbury and looking for somewhere to have breakfast that wasn’t a depressing petrol station. We found Pennycress on Google maps and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious with fresh and quality ingredients. The Reuben sandwich in particular was incredible. I wish they were based nearer my home town. Took a few photos but unfortunately the food was too good to wait so it’s just empty plates ”

“ A really lovely little café in a Cotswold village. The staff were very nice and welcoming and the whole place felt warm and cosy, especially on a cool day. It’s dog friendly which was a big plus and they made pets feel just as welcome as people. The fresh bakery items were excellent, you can tell they’re made with care and taste great. A perfect spot to relax, have a good coffee, and enjoy the village atmosphere. Would happily come back. ”

“ Perfect location to sit and chill on any morning but especially today waiting for my car to be MOT across the road. Watching the world go by with a coffee and bacon bap, not forgetting the tomatoe sauce. Lovely cafe, facilities spotless, well presented easy access there is on the road parking or a small car park just opposite. ”

“ What a gem of a place! Service was excellent and plenty of tables available. Food and coffee was 5 stars and a lovely clean place..they even had doggy treats here. We will be returning! ”

“ Great food, but be prepared to wait. The breakfast spread was tasty, especially the fresh fruit granola and the coffee. The only bad part was the long wait time for our order, but the quality of the food made up for it. Would visit again! ”

“ The Pennycress is a little gem! A great family run business with friendly staff, amazing coffee, delicious sandwiches made from fresh ingredients and next level cakes! We had the toasted Rueben sandwich which was so good and the lemon drizzle cake was just wow. We have been in a few times now and the window table spot is a definite favourite! The music was great too, and my favourite touch was the herb pots that are on every table. It’s exactly what the village needed and the fact you can also buy beautiful flowers there is such a pretty idea! We will keep going back for sure! :) ”
