Superb 400-year-old country pub caught
in a time warp where friendly
conversation prevails. Two tiny rooms,
only one with a bar in the corner and no
bar counter; beer is served over one of
the benches. The indentations in the bar
shelving shows where a china gin barrel
used to sit. The very reasonably priced
beer is kept in peak condition. The pub
is a real labour of love for the
excellent landlord. Two pub signs grace
the outside, one in the distinctive oval
shape of the now defunct Stroud Brewery.
No food at all, but keenly priced beer
in perfect condition. Closed weekday
lunchtimes except Bank Holidays. The pub
is featured in the CAMRA National
Inventory of pub interiors of
outstanding heritage interest.
Local Cirencester sub-branch Pub of the
Year 2007.
