Plus, one travel writer who grew up in the Cotswolds reveals their favourite and secret spots FAMOUS FACES The Cotswolds pubs where you're most likely to bump into a celebrity next to your pint Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Cotswolds is a popular spot for celebrities enjoying a pint or two, but there are specific boozers where you're more likely to see them. has revealed three must-visit pubs in the Cotswolds where celebrities have recently been spotted, and they have pints from £6. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 The Bull has been around since the 1500s and is popular amongst celebrities Credit: The Bull 6 The Bull has a cosy atmosphere with roaring fires Credit: The Bull The Bull is a beautiful stone pub in Charlbury, Chipping Norton that has been around since the 1500s and has been known to draw in famous faces. From Jack Whitehall to Robbie Williams even Princess Eugenie and Beatrice - all of them have taken a seat in the historic pub. The Bull serves food from classic pies, to fish and oysters, and there's a cocktail menu and an enormous wine list. Another popular pit stop is The Chequers in Chipping Norton. In January of this year, Victoria and David Beckham enjoyed a cosy countryside pub lunch. The glamorous couple even bumped into Clarkson's Farm star, Gerald Cooper during their visit. It is no surprise that these three have been spotted there - and are probably frequent visitors. Gerald works at the nearby Diddly Squat farm in Chipping Norton and the Beckhams' Grade II-listed farmhouse is located on the nearby Great Tew estate. One visitors to the pub wrote on Tripadvisor: "The locals are more than welcoming, entering into lively conversations. "The space is cosy and this amplifies the energy and the experience. Well worth visiting for a pint or more and a bite." US megastar spotted watching Irish band at Jeremy Clarkson's pub 6 Jeremy Clarkson owns The Farmer's Dog in Burford Credit: Alamy Of course, at The Farmer's Dog in Burford, the TV star you are most likely to see there is Jeremy Clarkson because he owns it. One visitors even said when they visited that Jeremy was sitting just a "few tables away." The Clarkson's Farm star opened The Farmer's Dog in 2024 - and it's been pretty busy since then. At Jeremy's pub, visitors can treat themselves to the steak pie, ham hock terrine, rhubarb crumble, and a wide range of other menu items, that comes from local farmers. Since the pub opened, it has been extremely busy with locals and out of town visitors. Last year, Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi were spotted in the pub watching live music. 6 The Beckhams have dined in The Chequers Credit: Alamy 6 The Falkland Arms was used for scenes of Mobland series two Credit: Alamy It is no surprise as the pair reportedly moved to the Cotswolds in November last year from California. Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia and British star James Blunt were also spotted at the pub for the event. Another pub that has become a popular spot for tourists, although you are now unlikely to see a celebrity there, is The Falkland Arms. The pub appeared in scenes of Mobland series two which stars Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Dame Helen Mirren. So, while you will not actually see the movie stars in the pub (sadly), you can order from the bar and sit where they did. Plus, Deputy Travel Editor, Kara Godfrey, who grew up in the Cotswolds reveals her favourite town to visit.
