Warmest congratulations on your upcoming wedding! We are honoured that you are considering The Ragged Cot as your wedding venue, and we can't wait to be a part of your special day. As a boutique country inn with a rich history, The Ragged Cot offers a picturesque setting for your wedding, whether in our sun-drenched gardens or by our cosy log fires.

Under new ownership since July 2022, The Ragged Cot has been transformed into a modern and welcoming space. We pride ourselves on our shabby chic interior and comfortable bedrooms, which create the perfect countryside atmosphere for your celebration.

As an independent venue, we offer a truly unique experience. We focus on using the freshest ingredients and providing friendly and efficient service. We believe in allowing you to create your dream wedding, so we offer price guides instead of package prices. This gives you the freedom to tailor your day to your specific wants and needs.

At The Ragged Cot, we have several stunning venues to choose from. The Snug, our most private venue with its own bar, is perfect for intimate weddings and parties of up to 35 guests (or 60+ in warm weather). The detailed beam roof adds a touch of romance to the space, and you can also decorate it with hanging floral and light decorations.

Our restaurant is our largest space and can accommodate up to 45 guests (or up to 60, including the bar area). With its tasteful modern design and traditional Cotswold features, the restaurant is a beautiful space for your wedding cake, guest book, or photo opportunities. The patio and garden can also be accessed through the restaurant, providing a lovely outdoor space for your guests to enjoy.

Speaking of the garden, our spacious outdoor area is the perfect spot for wedding photos. You can pose under our floral pergola or even hire a marquee for added protection from the elements. Plus, we offer the option for customisations, such as a hog roast or buffet set-up, to make your day even more special.

For your comfort, The Ragged Cot offers nine spacious and comfortable bedrooms with modern amenities. These rooms are designed with relaxation in mind, making them the perfect place for you and your bridal party to prepare for the big day. Our boutique-style rooms have received an AA 4* award, and we take great pride in providing our guests with a home away from home.

When it comes to dining, The Ragged Cot has been awarded an AA Rosette for our high-quality food and dining experience. Our in-house kitchen team creates menus with fresh and innovative dishes using only the best local and sustainable produce. We believe in supporting our community and the environment, so we use biodegradable cleaning chemicals and recycle most of our waste.

As a country pub, we take food and drink seriously, and we believe it's an essential part of any special occasion. That's why we offer a variety of options for your bar service, from a free-flowing open bar to an open tab with a price cap. Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality products that match our ethos and passion for local and sustainable products. The Snug also offers a private bar and staff team for your convenience.

We understand that choosing a wedding venue is a big decision, so we are here to help make your day as memorable and stress-free as possible. Our team at The Ragged Cot is always happy to provide a quote and assist you in planning your dream wedding. Thank you for considering us, and we hope to welcome you to The Ragged Cot soon.

Excellent pub

This pub caught our eye one day passing by & we decided to go back & try it. So glad we did as it had a gorgeous interior with a nice fire going and a perfect glass of scotch to go with it. Though modern on the inside & ancient on the outside, all of it was beautiful. I ordered the curry lentils. It was delicious & had a good bite of spice to it.

Never had a bad experience

I'm local (ish) and go here a few times a year. We have never had a bad experience. Food is reliably excellent and the ambience is modern country style. Staff have always been first class. Great wine. In the summer the garden makes a nice spot for a drink. In the winter it is mostly a food place rather than a pubby pub.

Hosted my wedding at The Ragged Cot

I recently had the pleasure of hosting my wedding at The Ragged Cot, and it was an absolutely perfect experience from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning, with a charming ambiance that set the perfect tone for our special day. The food served was exceptional, with each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service provided by the staff was truly incredible - they went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. Additionally, the location is simply fantastic, offering breathtaking views and a picturesque backdrop for our ceremony and reception. I cannot recommend The Ragged Cot enough as a wedding venue - it exceeded all of our expectations and helped create memories that will last a lifetime.

I recommend the Ragged Cot.

I visit the Ragged Cot 3 or 4 times per year and have done sir for years. The pub has a large attractive garden fir so fresco dining if the weather is fine. Indoors there are 3 distinct seas: a small bar area, a cozy pub sitting area and a more upmarket feeling dining area. Service is usually quite good. Food is fresh rather than boil in the bag and generally very good. I gather the pub has a few rooms though I haven't visited the rooms.

They were attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding a memorable occasion. Their attention to detail and their ability to anticipate our needs before we even expressed them was truly commendable.

The food was another highlight of our wedding at The Ragged Cot. The menu, crafted from locally sourced ingredients, was exquisite. Each dish was a celebration of flavor and creativity, leaving our guests raving about the meal long after the event. The chefs and kitchen staff clearly put a lot of love and expertise into their work, elevating our wedding dinner from simply a meal to an experience.

Lastly, the accommodation provided to us and some of our guests was of the highest quality. The rooms were comfortable, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the modern conveniences we could ask for, all while maintaining the charming character of the country pub. Waking up in such a peaceful setting was the perfect end to our perfect wedding day.

In conclusion, The Ragged Cot is a venue that promises and delivers a magical wedding experience.
