| Last visited on New Year's Eve for lunch as part of a walk. Beautifully located with a deserved reputation for food. A good mix of well-heeled clientele and walkers packed both sides of the pub. We were in the well-heated, homely bar and enjoyed both food (superb beef sandwiches and a turkey curry) and beers. I'm not a fan of Otter but it was well kept - better, for me, was the equally well kept Jouster. Service was attentive, polite and, given how busy they were, prompt. You can walk here in about an hour from Painswick or Cranham and less than two hours from Slad. Garganey - 4 Jan 2012 14:33 |
| Sadly, this is another example of a pub that has forgotten what customer service is all about and has the luxury of being able to trade on its amazingly beautiful location and collection of incredibly well healed local(ish) clientele. I echo other comments on here and elsewhere about this pub, (the eye watering rudeness of the manager and his ill trained staff are simply incredible) Avoid. If you want quality food, beer, and service to match, an are coming to sample cotswold beauty then The Bell at Sapperton is a far better bet. BisleyBoy - 17 Oct 2011 09:58 |
| I would not bother visiting this pub unless you plan to eat. They ignored my wife standing at the bar for 10 minutes whilst settling bills for diners who came to the bar. When I remarked how rude I thought it was that they had ignored my wife and served people out of turn, the young man serving told me "No, we're very busy,it wasn't rude and don't come back here again". I don't know if this means I have been barred from a pub for the first time in my life. I have taken it as friendly advice. davejohnson - 1 Aug 2008 15:57 |
| More of a restauarant, you can sit by the fire at the bar end of the place, though no bar stools. Food was good and service excellent when we visited. Beer was good - three changing ales, with Donningtons BB a regular. Visit during daylight to appreciate the marvellous view. krislee - 4 Mar 2008 10:24 |
| Fine traditional Cotswold village pub, a bit out of the way and difficult to find, but worth the effort. Like many pubs of its ilk, its food-orientated. I had a very enjoyable ploughmans lunch and pint of Otter sitting outside in the sunshine watching the locals manoeuvre their 4x4's in and out of the car park Note the unusual pub sign - a farmer with a pig tied to his leg, well its a bit difficult to miss really Good views from the high grassy seating area at the side of the pub Worth finding if you're in the area JohnBonser - 26 Sep 2007 16:56 |
