Welcome to the Gardeners Arms website !
The Gardeners Arms is a 16th Century thatched country pub and restaurant in Alderton, a quiet village just north of Cheltenham in the heart of the Gloucestershire Cotswolds. A friendly, family-run Free House where you'll find a warm
welcome from all our staff, including head chef Kevin Jenkins and owners Mike & Wendy Wakeman.

We serve home cooked food which includes seasonal local produce (eg. Asparagus, Strawberries), fresh daily fish and local game bird, vegetarian and specific allergy menus. Try our Takeaway service for selected meals, 7 days a week.
We offer Off-licence sales of all our beers & ales, and selected wines & soft drinks.
Integral and popular in the Alderton village community, we host many events such as quiz nights, theme nights, Christmas, New Year, Easter and Bank Holiday special events.
Alderton is close to many Gloucestershire and Worcestershire attractions, and the Gardeners Arms is a popular meeting place for local clubs, societies, ramblers, bikers & cyclists.
We have a large free car park, disabled access, large beer garden with boule area, a Shove Ha'penny table, darts board and a selection of other traditional bar games available, such as poker. There is an original Well as a central feature in the lounge. Children are welcome.

We feature in the UK Good Beer Guide, Good Pub Guide, Good Pub Food Guide and Real Ale Pub Guide.
We have been awarded the Cask-Marque, which is from an independent organisation whose aims are to consistently achieve a high standard of beer in terms of clarity, temperature, taste and aroma. We are assessed several times a year and a minimum mark of 80% is required to pass and retain the award. We are very proud to have never failed an audit since the Cask-Marque organisation started.
We are members of the British Institute of Innkeepers, who promote high standards of professionalism throughout the licensed retail sector.
We pride ourselves on supplying good Ales, Beers and Fine Wines. We are members of CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale. The good beer guide was set up by CAMRA for pubs that keep beers well, pour the perfect pint & other drinks, give a good welcome, terrific food and family facilities to help these pubs to survive. CAMRA members choose the pubs and visit them on a regular basis.

"I have lived in Gloucestershire for nearly all of my life and have always felt a close connection to our woodlands and rolling hills and vales. Living in Alderton, and walking with my dog up our beautiful hill, has inspired this love of the countryside to emerge in my paintings."
"I have exhibited all around Gloucestershire and have run children's mural workshops at local festivals. I am an active member of the Artdepot, a group of artists striving to open an Arts Centre in Tewkesbury. I am also part of a co-operative of artists managing and exhibiting at The Happy Gallery, Bishops Cleeve."
"Besides landscapes, I also paint pet portraits, flowers, murals and abstract work. Commissions are welcomed!"
