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.

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."

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.

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.

‘What a rush' – Brad Pitt on driving Formula One car as new movie hits cinemas
The Hollywood star, who plays F1 driver Sonny Hayes in the blockbuster film, was recently given the chance to drive McLaren's 2023 car around Austin's Circuit of the Americas. Pitt, 61, had plenty of driving experience – including behind the wheel of modified F2 cars – while filming the movie over the last two years, but was blown away by his first taste of an F1 car. 'Oh my God, what a rush,' Pitt said in a video on McLaren's social media channels. 'A lot bigger horse than I've been on.' Brad Pitt LOVES the MCL60 🤩✅#McLaren | #F1TheMovie — McLaren (@McLarenF1) June 25, 2025 Pitt added on the Beyond the Grid podcast: 'I got to hit 197mph this week. I really wanted to hit 200. You know, it hurts me a little bit – three miles per hour short on the straight. This was at Austin. 'You're so focused, but you're not white knuckling. You're just in this sublime groove. It is really extraordinary. 'I try to explain this feeling of downforce, and I fail every time because you try to say like a rollercoaster, but that's not even right, because you feel the fulcrum point underneath you – you're in it. 'I was in an aerobatic plane once, and it's the closest thing, but still this thing… this is such a unique feeling and an absolute high. I'm still on a high, I really am. I'm just still on a high.' Pitt's fictional rookie team-mate Joshua Pearce is played by British actor Damson Idris. Filming has taken place across multiple races over the last two seasons and F1 chiefs hope the movie will follow the popularity of Netflix's Drive To Survive series in cracking America. Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton is an executive producer on the movie, directed by Joseph Kosinski and co-produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, which will be released in the United States on Friday. Hamilton, 40, posted a picture of himself alongside Pitt as he reflected on the journey he had been on while making the film. 'Four years in the making — what a journey it's been,' Hamilton wrote on Instagram. 'I'm incredibly grateful to everyone at Apple and Warner Bros for believing in us and partnering with such heart and vision. To Joe and Jerry — thank you. I've learned so much from both of you and it's truly been an honour to work alongside you. 'These were taken on our very first day on track, with Brad at Silverstone looking into Copse Corner. What a moment. One of those memories that stick with you.'

UK's biggest singer set for epic comeback with new music and surprise Glasto set
A Scottish music icon is said to be making his long-awaited comeback to music at Glastonbury after he took a step back in June 2023 Lewis Capaldi is reportedly set to stun fans tomorrow with the release of his eagerly awaited comeback single, marking his first new music since January last year. The timing couldn't be more electric, as he's also slated for a surprise appearance on Glastonbury's iconic Pyramid Stage. A source close to the singer revealed: 'Lewis took a decent chunk of time away and now he's ready for his fans to hear what he has been working on. "Tomorrow is a huge day for him. He will be releasing a brand new single and it is his Pyramid Stage performance. He is in a great place and feels ready to come back into the spotlight," they told The Sun. Capaldi's last Pyramid Stage show in 2023 was an emotional rollercoaster, ending prematurely with the star in tears. Reflecting on that moment, he admitted it made him realise he needed to 'spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order.' Lewis took a break from singing and touring to focus on his mental and physical health, particularly his Tourette's syndrome and anxiety. He announced an extended break from touring in June 2023, after struggling with his voice during a Glastonbury performance. The Scottish singer has been open about his Tourette's and the impact it has on his singing and stage presence. After stepping back from the public eye, Lewis quietly began crafting fresh material last year, collaborating with British songwriter Dan D'Lion and was even spotted playing acoustic guitar in the studio. His musical return follows two chart-topping albums: the 2019 debut Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent and Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent from 2023. Insiders told the Mirror that Lewis is among a handful of surprise performers at this year's festival. He's reportedly taking the Pyramid Stage at 4:55 pm on Friday. Other secret gigs include Lorde at Woodsies (11:30 am Friday), Olivia Dean and Rachel Chinouriri at Strummerville (8 pm Friday), and CMAT at BBC Introducing (1:30 pm Friday). Saturday's hidden highlights feature Pulp on the Pyramid Stage at 6:15 pm and American band Haim at The Park at 7:30 pm. These whispered schedules have also surfaced on TikTok, with one user posting, 'Heard it here first people,' sharing similar times but placing CMAT at 8:30 pm on Friday - a slot still marked as TBA on the official lineup.

Jeremy Clarkson turns down past rumours 'I have never'
The 65-year-old has recently been seen on our screens presenting the acclaimed fourth season of Clarkson's Farm. Set during last year, we saw Clarkson and co battle the elements and more to get his newly christened pub, The Farmer's Dog, open. But now, Clarkson has gone online to refute claims about where he used to live. Rightmove posted on Facebook: "Famous home alert! Ever wondered where Jeremy Clarkson grew up? "This charming countryside home was once the childhood home of the Top Gear and Clarkson's Farm legend himself! 5 bedrooms, Tickhill. "£1,475,000 Tap here to see the full listing" A fan then posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: "Fancy moving back up north???" To which Clarkson responded: "Keep reading about that. Never lived there." People in the comments then started trying to guess where Clarkson is in fact from. Fancy moving back up north??? @JeremyClarkson One said: "Didn't you live at Hill House School, Doncaster, during your education? That's North." Another commented (rather obscurely): "I thought you were a Tickhill lad like us Jezza. The Carps, The Travs, The Scarbs and The Oak need your Hawkstone". Someone else replied: "Thought it was more Burghwallis area??" Recommended reading: Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson was born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, on 11 April 1960. At the age of 13, he moved to Derbyshire. After that, we're not too sure and don't want to risk the wrath of Mr Clarkson anymore. All we can say for sure is that now, famously, he resides in Oxfordshire. Where he tends to his beloved Diddly Squat Farm daily.
