Fishing

Fly fishing is another great British pastime and one that we’re well-positioned to make the most of at The Trout. There are a number of fantastic chalk streams for hooking yourself a prizewinning trout here in the Cotswolds, just waiting to be explored. Even if you come home empty-handed, we’ll always have plenty of options for a fresh fish dinner on our menus.
