The Gardeners Arms is a 16th Century thatched country pub and restaurant in Alderton, a quiet village just north of Cheltenham in the heart of the Gloucestershire Cotswolds.  A friendly, family-run Free House where you'll find a warm welcome from our staff, and owners Mike & Wendy Wakeman.

Home cooked food is served, seasonal local produce (eg. Asparagus, Strawberries), and offer vegetarian & specific allergy menus, and seasonal fish specials.  Try our popular Takeaway service for selected meals, 7 days a week.

The Inn prides itself on supplying good Ales, Beers and Fine Wines and is a member of CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale. The good beer guide was set up by CAMRA for pubs that keep beers well, pour the perfect pint & other drinks, give a good welcome, terrific food and family facilities to help these pubs to survive. CAMRA members choose the pubs and visit them on a regular basis.

The Gardeners Arms is featured in the UK Good Beer Guide, UK Good Pub Food Guide, and have been awarded the Cask-Marque.  This is from an independent organisation whose aims are to consistently achieve a high standard of beer in terms of clarity, temperature, taste & aroma.  The Inn is assessed several times a year and a minimum of 80% is required to pass & retain the award. They are very proud to have never failed an audit since the Cask-Marque organisation started.

The Pub is integral and popular in the village community, we host many events such as quiz nights, theme nights, Christmas, New Year, Easter & Bank Holiday special events.

Alderton is close to many Gloucestershire & Worcestershire attractions, and the Gardeners Arms is a popular meeting place for local clubs, societies, ramblers, bikers & cyclists.

There is a large free car park, disabled access, large beer garden with boule area, a Shove Ha'penny table and an original well in the lounge.  Children are welcome and dogs are permitted in some of our bar areas.  Our function facilities are ideal for wedding parties & other events.
