| Visited on the Sunday of Stroud Bus running day. There was a pong in the air. The "easy-on-the-eye" teenage bargirl put it down to "farmers spreading shite". There were about a dozen in our company. Faces weren't impressed. The Uley Pale Ale was hazy and just not right. The Laurie Lees was hazy and just not right. The Uley Bitter was ok. So we persevered. Had a Sunday roast-£12.50,it was good but the veg could have been more adventurous (carrots and green beans only) and a little less scarce. The mint sauce was superb. But sadly it got worse-the bitter went sour and then ran out and showed little sign of replacement. The gents were visited and found to be rancid. There was(probably still is!) a huge tub of cigarette ends by the kitchen door(opposite the rancid gents) and it was being added to by the kitchen staff. And the pong from the "farmers"-no it was from the pub's septic tank!!!! I might be tempted to re-visit,but if it disappointed like this again it would be a big fat zero next time. an_ecunemical_matter - 7 Jul 2008 19:42 |
| no doubt the locals dont eat here because the food is over-priced. tasty, but small portions for the prices charged. very much aimed at the innumerable tourists... beer however is excellent. Uley beers at their very best. the superb Old Spot is not to be missed. food prices keep it down to a nonetheless worthy 9/10. alehouses - 30 Oct 2007 11:46 |
| Splendidly traditional Cotswold pub, a few miles north of Stroud on a B road. The views of the Slad valley, both as you drive up to the pub and also from the pub garden itself are indeed memorable. The Uley bitter was on fine form on my visit ( August 11th ). Having the car meant that i had to pass on the stronger beers, the Uley Pigs Ear and the Spingo beers from the Blue Anchor in Helston, Cornwall, a noteworthy sighting. The pub is situated opposite the local parish church, which is also worth a quick visit, time permitting. Note that parking is difficult - you may have to park a bit further up the road and walk down. This is a fine relatively unspoilt community local. Recommended JohnBonser - 26 Sep 2007 12:50 |
| This is a great pub, and it also serves great beer. You will not find too many old fashioned rural pubs like this these days...long may it continue unchanged forever! kitcat - 23 Aug 2007 12:22 |
