Brilliant warm and friendly atmosphere. Recommend the lamb, pork and nut roast. Chocolate fudge, lemon meringue and treacle went down a delight. Will be returning for the food and the view/scenery

Nice steak and ale pie. I would prefer the chips cooked a bit darker but that’s just my preference. Nice meal, nice beer and good music. Lovely pub.

Lovely pub - excellent service from funny and charming staff, beautiful roast dinners which are huge, very welcoming feel, not at all pretentious for a beautiful pub, old pub in the Cotswolds! Very dog-friendly with lots of dog biscuit treats! Excellent customer service, one of our favourite pubs to visit!

We were made to feel safe and comfortable throughout. Pub was spotlessly clean with all necessary measures in place. Fire was on, such a friendly atmosphere. It was an amazing experience. Beautiful food, excellent service and a perfect pint. Can't wait to return. 10/10

Lovely village friendly pub, well organised for social distancing for those particularly concerned over such. My wife had steak and ale pie , mine was stone cold in the middle so clearly not totally fresh and not microwaved for long enough, chips and peas ok. Shame as enjoyed other aspects of the visit.

Really sorted in terms of being COVID 19 safe. Lots of screens, a one way system and masses of outdoor dining space. They have an outdoor takeaway-style menu and an indoor posh pub grub menu. Social distancing is done well and carefully. Perfect place to go for a pub lunch and gorgeous walk/cycle or garden visit.

Because of the covid epidemic the restaurant was quite empty. However the meal was superb, the staff couldn’t have been nicer and we will definitely be returning. We’ll also be recommending!

Landlord very friendly and dogs allowed in the pub. Reserved a table for Sunday lunch and was glad I did as the pub was very busy. Food came in good time although landlady seemed a little stressed. Had a lovely roast chicken dinner. All veg was excellent and they also provided a gluten free meal for me. On top of that, gluten free desserts were available. Left feeling really satisfied!
