Award-Winning Restaurant & Pub in The Cotswolds
Welcome to The Crown at Wild Thyme & Honey, a pub with community spirit nestled at the heart of the village of Ampney Brook, near Cirencester, in the beautiful Cotswolds.
Food and drink is our pride and joy. Our seasonal, farm-to-table menus are inspired by our idyllic Cotswolds surroundings, focusing on top quality meats, fish and vegetables sourced as locally as possible.
