About
The Still House Café is on the site of the Cotswolds Distillery at Stourton, on the Whichford road, in the hills between Shipston-on-Stour and Long Compton. It opens every day from 10am to 5pm, with food until 3.30pm, and has seats inside and, in warmer months, on an outdoor terrace. Parking on site is free.
The menu changes with the season, and the current one is a PDF. The suppliers are named: coffee from UE Roasters and meat from Barry the Butcher. There are gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and staff ask you to mention allergens when you arrive.
There is no children's menu, but the kitchen says it can look after young children if you ask. Dogs are welcome on a lead and under supervision. Tables cannot be booked, so a popular day may mean a short wait. The distillery sells tours and tastings separately, on its own pages.
It sits well alongside a morning at the Rollright Stones or the Whichford café, and it opens on the days the Straw Kitchen shuts.
