GREENE KING IPA (H)
GUEST BEER Three Guest Ales (H)
The oldest inn in Gloucestershire,
dating from 1308 and features many
separate rambling bar areas, one
boasting leatherwork on the ceiling that
dates to the 17th century. Part of the
building was originally the stables. The
inn's front door is reputedly the second
oldest in the area. Note the intriguing
old photographs of Tewkesbury. Reports
suggest resident ghosts (including an
old lady and a cavalier). A pleasant
terrace patio overlooks the garden and
the river Avon (moorings available),
where children (under supervision) can
feed the ducks and St John's bridge. The
lower restaurant was once the stables
and was used as a hospital during the
Battle of the Roses. Food served daily
1200-2100 (1900 on Sunday).
