Discover bold Indian Flavours in a Classic Cotswold pub setting

Looking for a truly unique dining experience in the Cotswolds?

Welcome to The Crown Inn at Cerney Wick - a traditional Cotswold pub with a flavour-packed twist. Our Anglo-Indian menu blends the comfort of classic British pub dining with the bold spices and heritage of Indian cuisine.

Whether you're visiting the Cotswold Lakes, exploring the local countryside, or simply hunting down the best Indian food in the Cotswolds, our pub offers something entirely different - yet entirely delicious.

The Crown’s Anglo-Indian Concept: A Fusion of Heritage and Flavour

Our menu is inspired by the rich history between Britain and India. Anglo-Indian cuisine has evolved over generations, blending aromatic spices with British comfort food traditions. At The Crown, we’ve reimagined this fusion with modern flair - using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and authentic Indian techniques.

You won’t find another Anglo-Indian pub in the Cotswolds quite like this.

Railway Curries: A Taste of Colonial India in the Cotswolds

One of our most popular sections is Railway Curries - a nod to the iconic dishes served on India’s historic railway lines during the British Raj. These hearty, aromatic curries were designed for long journeys and big appetites.

At The Crown, you’ll find slow-cooked Railway Lamb Madras, rich Butter Chicken, and seasonal specials all served with fluffy rice and hand-rolled naan. These dishes are perfect for anyone craving authentic Indian flavours in a Cotswold pub setting.

Naan Burgers: Our Signature Twist on British-Indian Fusion

Our Naan Burgers have quickly become local favourites. Think juicy tandoori-style chicken or spiced lamb kofta, layered with crunchy salad, chutneys, and mint yoghurt - all tucked into a warm, freshly baked naan.

Looking for a fun and flavour-packed lunch near Cirencester? This is it. Bold, satisfying, and Instagrammable too.

Roti Wraps: Street Food, Pub-Style

Our Roti Wraps bring the spirit of Indian street food to the pub table. Served with your choice of filling, they’re the ultimate grab-and-go option - or pair them with a cold pint in our beer garden for the full Crown experience.

Indian Classics, Done Right

We also serve all the Indian classics you know and love - from creamy Paneer Makhani to fiery Prawn Masala and crispy Onion Bhajis. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or just love spice, our menu has something for every taste and dietary need.

From the Handee: Comfort Food with Deep Flavour

Our From the Handee section features slow-simmered dishes cooked in traditional Indian pots, where flavours build over time. These warming bowls are ideal for cosy dinners and long catch-ups over drinks.

Why We're One of the Most Unique Pubs in the Cotswolds

At The Crown Inn, we’re proud to be a little different. Our Anglo-Indian menu tells a story of travel, tradition, and innovation - served with the warmth of a classic Cotswold village pub. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, we invite you to eat boldly, drink well, and try something new.
