Two standout pubs in the Cotswolds have been recognized for excellence in the prestigious Cotswolds Awards 2025. The Lamb in Great Rissington was awarded Best Sunday Lunch, while The Five Alls in Filkins, near Lechlade, received the accolade for Best Pub with Rooms.
Both establishments are proudly operated by Brakspear’s talented licensees. At The Lamb, Elliot and Kath Cree bring their extensive culinary experience from Michelin-starred restaurants around the globe to craft exceptional dishes. Since taking over in 2024, they have created a Sunday lunch experience that blends international flavors with locally sourced ingredients, resulting in fully booked sittings and rave reviews. Their Sunday roast is complemented by enticing alternatives, including fresh fish and vegetarian options that appeal to a wide range of palates.
Meanwhile, The Five Alls, managed by Tom Downing since 2024, offers guests a luxurious stay with nine beautifully appointed bedrooms. Four en-suite rooms sit above the bar, while five charming cottage-style rooms, including a Family Suite, nestle in the pub’s garden. Recent refurbishments highlight a cozy cottage aesthetic with muted greens and greys, plush carpeting, and vintage furnishings. Guests enjoy premium comforts such as duck down duvets, Egyptian cotton linens, high-end toiletries, and flat-screen TVs, all within a warm and inviting pub atmosphere.

Congratulations to both teams on this well-earned recognition—we anticipate even more awards in the future!”
