Our room was drafty and the bed very small. Clean, comfortable and good smelling, but compared to similar rooms we've stayed in along our walk this was pretty basic. We arrived during the afternoon so had to order from the bar menu, so the food was OK. Would have liked to have tried some of the dinner specials but too... More

I felt so strongly about this establishment that I had to submit my first ever tripadvisor review. I have to commend everyone for the warm welcome and continued courtesy, helpfulness and friendliness that I experienced throughout my stay at the Thames Head Inn, just outside Cirencester. I recently spent 13 nights with them and can honestly say that you will... More

The decor and feel for the pub is alright. The staff were friendly and polite. Took a very long time for food to arrive and it wasn't that busy. Food was average, certainly didn't taste anything special, no real effort on presentation made. However was very reasonably priced.

This pub has had something of a chequered past, years ago was rather cliquey and lost some local customers if your face didn't fit. Not any more - the current landlord and staff go out of their way to be welcoming. The food is very good and reasonably priced, there is a main menu, a bar snack menu plus a... More

We are in the habit or using a pub car park for an overnight motorhome stopover – most publicans are happy to let us stay provided we come in for a meal. It's a win, win: for the price of an official campsite the motorhomer gets a meal and a pitch for the night, and the publican gets the business.... More

We stayed here on the night before we started our walk from the source of the Thames to Oxford and friends from Cirencester joined us for dinner. Excellent, great value pub grub with good variety of beers and sensibly priced wines. A happy atmosphere: interesting and comfortable bedroom in a small courtyard. Although it is just beside a seriously busy... More

Visiting the Thames Head a couple of times, both with my partner for lunch and for drinks with friends. It's in a bit of a strange location, just of a busy road heading out of Cirencester but as long as you don't miss it you are in for a bit of a treat. There is plenty of space and a... More

We had dinner here over the bank holiday weekend and it was one of the best pub meals I have had in a long time. We decided to start with that old favourite prawn cocktail and were very pleasantly surprised when it arrived. The best bread I have had in years and lovely chunks of it. Lots of prawns and... More
