International visit
I came for drinks today with an international party that consisted people from 5 different countries. The host Slaw made such an effort with all the guests who didn't all speak fluent English. Very patient taking people's orders for drink and food making sure all details were checked and double checked while understanding their orders that it was exactly how they wanted
Thank you for your kindness and patience. It was not easy with translation but he got it spot on and everyone had such a good time
Thank you Slaw

Darling place in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water
I took this amazing, magical photo of the restaurant as we were approaching and the sun was setting. Bourton-on-the-Water is such a charming little village and The Willow is right in the center of it all. It has a fun patio overlooking the town and if it is colder you can eat inside. If you are there before 7:00 there are amazing early bird discounts.....we were there later but will go earlier next time! The staff were wonderful, clearly, the ambiance is lovely, and the food was good. We had one dish my friend had an issue with and the manager Laura came right over and made everything more than OK, her management and people skills are to be commended. This will definitely be our go-to place next time we are in town. I highly recommend The Willow when you are visiting the Cotswolds.

Overpriced and pretentious.
Overpriced and pretentious.
A place for the tourists and not for the locals. Much better value elsewhere.

Fabulous food, incredible service

Highly recommended, beautiful food and service. Will definitely visit again.
