Cat and Custard Pot Inn in Cotswold - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Sadly the Cat and Custard makes not even the faintest attempt to hide that casual drinkers are not welcome. The beer isn’t kept well which my guts will testify to. Used to be a great locals pub but sadly unless you’re dining they’re not interested.

Went for a meal with friends . I can only comment on my meal which for the price, £22 I thought was poor. I had pork belly which came with mash and on this occasion cabbage as they had ran out of chard. The Pork was a tasteless piece of fat about 2 inches in size with a chewy skin on top. The cabbage needed a search and rescue team to find it on the plate. Some how the mash resembled and tasted like an undercooked pancake. Watercress on the plate had a balsamic dressing and this mixed with the gravy was a weird combination. Nobody came and asked if everything was ok during the meal and afterwards I told the waitress she gave the usual "I'll tell someone " who obviously didn't care less as nobody had the courtesy to come and speak to me about it. All round pretty poor

Had the pleasure to stay over night at The Cat and Custard Pot. Staff were excellent and made us very welcome.Diner was a real treat and breakfast one of the best we have had for a long time. All in all an excellent visit.

We entertained old friends here. The first impression when arriving in the pub was ‘comfy and welcoming’. Everything about our visit was top class - very attentive staff (what a welcome change); short but very appealing menu for all tastes; prompt attention to serving drinks, timely serving of each course. Top marks to all the staff. 👏👏👏

Disappointed. Had a lovely weekend away in the area. Stopped at this place for Sunday dinner. Had high hopes with it being busy. Took a while to be acknowledged whilst standing in the pub to be seated. Got seated in a doorway as part of a table for two. Ordered two Sunday dinners for myself and girlfriend. Beef was over cooked and veg was shrivelled and looked like it had been steamed for too long. I thought the vegetables were for one person. I asked for more and was told I’d have to order it and be charged as additional side dishes. I’ll be picking somewhere else to go next time and will be avoiding this place.

Wonderful find we really enjoyed our one night stay. We drove from Hampshire, stopping off at Laycock Abbey before heading onto the inn. We arrived at roughly 16:30, checking in with a friendly member of staff. He showed us to our room, The Rose Garden, which overlooked the front of the property. The room was clean and pleasantly decorated, though quite compact. It was perfect for our one night stay. We made a hot drink unpacked and relaxed for a while. We headed down to the bar for a drink as we were too early for our dinner booking. I do not drink k and was very pleased to find they had alcohol free Pentire on offer. Would love to see Tanqueray and Gordon's on the bar list, too. Again, two lovely female staff served us. Our table was booked for 19:30 in the bar towards the back. Service was a little slow, but there was a group of eight beside us. We were in no rush, so we're happy to wait. We both ordered pork belly, which was cooked perfectly very tasty. Desserts were delicious, an Eton mess and a chocolate brownie, the raspberry sorbet was divine. We took a wander into the garden to have a look at the Italian restaurant outside, twinkling fairy lights in a Scandinavian type chalet. Very inviting wish we had booked there! We would definitely stay again, the inn is in a small village not sure there's much else available. Highly recommend staying here.

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Egg allergy no problem and delicious lunch arrived, as did for rest of party. Wonderful place to catch up over a relaxed lunch. Thank you!

Having previously frequented the pub for food with my family, my most recent visits (April 2024) were abysmal. I have never experienced such a hostile environment in all my life, our very presence was an inconvenience. The kitchen was open / closed several times (as they clearly couldn't cope. The manager in charge, was rude, unprofessional, hostile to name but a few. It is a real shame as the pizza's there are tasty, but the overall experience leaves a lasting bitter taste. I will not be back, or will not recommend to others.

Comme souvent en Angleterre, le restaurant est à l'écart des grands axes et situé dans un coin paisible, même s'il est au bord de la route. Et aussi dans une belle maison en pierres, aussi agréable à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur.En plus, et surtout :;-) on y mange bien ::o)Ma compagne a choisi du pâté de maquereau fumé en entrée (7 £) : bon, quoiqu'un peu trop salé.Et son avis au sujet de son plat (entrecôte, 22 £ + 2,50 £ pour la sauce stilton), entre 2 bouchées :;-) : « c'était très bon, notamment ma deuxième entrecôte du séjour, encore une fois parfaitement saignante! ». Petit bémol : elle avait demandé le plat sans frites mais le cuisinier les a laissées.De mon côté, la soupe du jour (mushroom with truffed oil, 6 £) était un petit peu trop liquide, je l'aurai préférée plus épaisse. Le pain d'accompagnement était bon.Et j'ai été content de mon plat végétarien ("vegetarian cheddar cheese and spring onion cakes", 14 £) avec la bonne tenue des "palets" à la coupe ainsi que des originales frites de patates douces en accompagnement. La "sweet chilli sauce" était superflue.Et nous nous sommes accordés pour se partager (encore un avantage de l'Angleterre ::-) un Eton Mess en dessert (7 £).Bien entendu, cidre à la pression dispo !Service affable.

We came across this lovely, quaint pub after a day house hunting in Tetbury just before the 2nd lockdown. Struggling to find a place open and serving food, this place was perfect! We chose the pie of the day and chicken burger, which were tasty and delicious and can honestly say was the best pie I've ever had! We will certainly be returning once we're settled in Tetbury and look forward to taking friends for the cosy experience.

Decided to visit the Cat for a change. Not been there for a while. Very pleased the place has been refurbished but still retains the local feel although due to COVID the bar was not as it would normally be. Nice quiet table beer fine but the Rose wine not as good as might have been. The starters Mushrooms excellent and very tasty. The mains Sea Bream and veg and the Steak was superb and very filling. A crumble to share again a great portion.Great value for money meal and will certainly visit again soon. Worth a visit.

We chose to eat here as near to where we were going. Glad we did. The welcome was good and thorough re covid rules. Service was attentive. Wine chosen was good. Good choice of by the glass if wanted. The portions were certainly generous. My wife's pork was well cooked and the crackling good. I chose a steak pie which filled with meat and delicious gravy.The desserts were also tasty and a good size. Good value, great visit

Excellent food, friendly welcome ...just the sort of pub you wish was down the road from you. Great traditional food with a modern twist, great ales, open log fires. Perfect after a walk around Westonbirt Arboretum on an Autumn day. We’ll definitely be going back.

We had the foresight to book a table here for our first night in nearby Tetbury and were glad we did. The restaurant appeared full by 6.30pm but the service remained prompt and attentive from the lovely young staff. The food was simply excellent - the pork belly and the steak and ale pie were both superb - and served piping hot. This was a great choice for dinner and we hope to return very soon (if we can get a table!).

A pleasant and easy hours walk (or ten minute drive) from Tetbury. Staff are welcoming and helpful. Covid rules being followed. Great Sandwiches. The wide range of hot food looked very appetising too.

We booked a meal for last night looking at there menu before hand and was wonderful the food was absolutely incredible fantastic atmosphere and the service was impeccable We would definitely come back here again and most likely stay too! 5 stars most definitely

Very happy with our overnight stay - we enjoyed great service, good food, pleasant ambiance and good value for money. I would thoroughly recommend the Cat and Custard Pot Inn and we will definitely be returning. A big thank you to all the staff.

Al llegar a esta pintoresca posada del pueblo de Cotswold, estaba claro que habíamos tomado la decisión correcta. Fuimos recibidos calurosamente por Sean, uno de los miembros del personal que nos mostró nuestra habitación. Nos alojábamos en la habitación "Elmleaze", que estaba en el último piso de la posada. Recientemente reformada, esta habitación era la más pequeña, compacta y bonita. La habitación estaba decorada con mucho gusto con un baño limpio y una ducha. Un poco decepcionado porque solo había agua embotellada en la habitación y no había instalaciones para preparar té / café.Reservamos para cenar en ambas noches y no nos decepcionó la elección del menú o, de hecho, la calidad de la comida que se sirvió, todo fue perfecto con abundantes raciones, calientes y muy sabrosas, la zona de asientos está nuevamente decorada con buen gusto con algunos interesantes artículos. En ambas noches, el área para comer estaba llena y estaba bien dirigida por Tom y su equipo de personal de servicio. Después de una cómoda noche de sueño, disfrutamos de un abundante desayuno inglés completo junto con cereales y yogures servidos nuevamente calientes y recién cocinados por Victoria, uno de los chefs.El pueblo tiene una hermosa iglesia antigua y es una base ideal para explorar los Cotswolds. Sin duda volveremos a visitarlo.Gracias Cat y Custard Pot por una estancia encantadora.

Recientemente disfrutamos de otra estadía en esta encantadora y acogedora posada. El ambiente era tan acogedor como siempre, mientras que covid - 19 precauciones estaba bien gestionado y era tranquilizador.Nuestra habitación era muy cómoda y estaba bien presentada, además de ser agradablemente cálida. La comida estuvo deliciosa, y me gustaría especialmente destacar el salmón al pesto rojo, servido sobre una cama de sabrosas verduras y acompañado de patatas tiernas.El personal aquí es amable y muy atento. Para una mención especial están Fran ois, Harry y Vicky. Gracias a todos y nos vemos pronto!

Este es un hermoso pub de Cotswold en un pueblo inglés de libros de cuentos. Más una experiencia en un restaurante que un almuerzo en un pub, pero ciertamente no es peor por eso. Tuvimos un delicioso almuerzo el sábado allí el 10 de octubre y recomendaría de todo corazón la experiencia. Los precios son un poco más altos que los típicos de pub, pero las raciones son enormes y la calidad de presentación es de primera categoría. Incluso los 'bocados ligeros' de las 5 son enormes, así que compruébalo, es posible que desees compartir los entrantes.

Nos recomendaron comer en este Inn por miembros de la familia que se habían alojado recientemente aquí. Después de la comida, le envié un mensaje de texto a mi hermana para agradecerle: tuvimos una comida deliciosa.El lugar estaba lleno y animado, ¡lo cual siempre es una ventaja!El servicio fue muy buenoLa comida era deliciosaSi desea una excelente comida de pub alrededor de Tetbury, no busque más que el Cat & Custard InnLa máxima puntuación para COVID friendly también. . . .

Aparecí para el almuerzo del domingo después de caminar por la hermosa Westonbirt. El pueblo es encantador y también el pub, por dentro y por fuera. El personal fue genial. Muy cortés y servicial. Lamentablemente, la comida no era buena. Rosbif tenía 16 años. La carne estaba demasiado cocida y dura, las patatas asadas estaban coriáceas y sin sabor, las zanahorias estaban crudas, el pudín de Yorkshire estaba claramente descongelado y la salsa era repugnante. ¡Demasiado ajo! Claramente, toda la comida se había recalentado al principio del día, lo que a las 4 pm no está totalmente fuera del camino para un pub el domingo, pero independientemente, la calidad era mala en el mejor de los casos.Muy decepcionante. Gran pub y personal pero pésima comida.

My husband found this little gem to visit. We had been enjoying the National Arboretum, and wanted somewhere decent to eat before returning to our hotel. Great choice by Mr Homer!We arrived with a few hours to kill before evening dinner service, and enjoyed ourselves in the beautiful rose garden, until a bit of rain stopped play.Our visit coincided with the first day of national dining changes. The staff were brilliant and handled the new rules professionally and calmly and provided customers with advice on the new NHS app.The food was definitely worth the wait. I enjoyed the slow cooked shin of beef and it was delicious. I followed this up with white chocolate and raspberry creme brûlée. My husband enjoyed his belly pork, followed by chocolate brownie and pistachio ice cream.We were lucky to have booked in early as the restaurant was busy with diners who also had a reservation. So if you’re thinking of visiting, make sure you book in advance. The food and service were excellent.

Had a lovely evening meal with friends on a Friday evening, mackerel pate was gorgeous, pie of the day was delicious, a little disappointed that my favourite ale (Tom Long) wasn’t available that evening to wash it down 😋

Pie of the day (steak and ale) was over-full of sauce with lots of meat underneath - needed the suggested mash rather than chips ! Slow cooked beef was very tender. We both loved the (different) salad starters !

Coming from Scotland pubs like this are a rarity so it was a great treat to find a true village inn with welcoming staff, fine food and a lovely atmosphere and sitting outside in this peaceful place. The beetroot salad was a visual treat as well as being delicious and the cheese and onion burgers - they were much better described on the menu - brilliant. It was one of those - "Good heavens I can't eat all that" and then an empty plate days.

Hubby and I took a mini-break the beginning of September, and we love a good country pub. I came across the Cat & Custard and booked a table for dinner our second night as we were staying in Tetbury. 5mins from our hotel, we were not disappointed, the pub itself was so welcoming and charming and very traditional, welcome, service and the food was exceptional - love your pies and salads! We enjoyed it that much we returned the following evening.Thankyou very much for two lovely evenings which were much needed. Hope to be back in the near future, please do not change a thing you are one of kind.

Had lunch on a gorgeous day in the garden. Pork belly was amazing! Interesting menu which they are happy to do in kids portions as well. Great table service, and a very reasonable price for a generous and tasty lunch. I’ll come back very soon.

Durante nuestra estancia en Tetbury, probamos el Cat and Custard Pot Inn en primer lugar solo para tomar una copa. En un hermoso día, nos sentamos afuera, bebimos cerveza local y nos sirvió una anfitriona muy amigable, que hizo todo lo posible para conversar con nosotros y hacernos sentir bienvenidos.Así que reservamos una mesa al día siguiente para cenar y la comida no decepcionó. Si querías cambiar y cambiar, por ejemplo, patatas por arroz o verduras diferentes a las del menú, lo hacían felizmente sin coste adicional.Aunque me decepcionó un poco el vino blanco y la selección de ginebra, las opciones de cerveza locales eran muy buenas. Estuvo ocupado durante una noche a mitad de semana y el nivel de la comida que se ofrece es una indicación de por qué es tan popular.Estaremos encantados de visitar de nuevo.

We always enjoyed a simple meal at the Cat and Custard Pot, but have not been back for five years ! What a makeover..Stunning renovations..charming host, and gorgeous grub ! Regret left no room for pud ..next time. Thankyou

Visitamos Cat & Custard Pot ya que estamos en la zona durante unos días de descanso y, aunque la comida era buena, nuestra mesa estaba en una mala posición, justo al lado de la puerta principal que estaba abierta. Tuvimos un entrante muy bueno cada uno y nuestros platos principales también estaban sabrosos, pero decidimos no tomar un pudín porque estábamos cada vez más fríos debido a la puerta principal abierta. No nos quejamos al personal ya que no es culpa, pero decidimos decirle algo al propietario sobre el frío. Apreciamos que covid 19 esté teniendo un impacto en las empresas de todo el mundo, pero la sensación que tuvimos cuando se lo mencionamos al propietario fue que los vagabundos en los asientos son mucho más importantes que los clientes que se quejan de la temperatura del lugar. Quién sabe, podríamos ser comensales secretos ocupándonos de nuestro negocio. Cuando le dijimos, se encogió de hombros y se preocupó más por sus invitados que pasaban la noche ya que recibían un trato preferencial. Un café de cortesía hubiera sido una buena idea, pero ni siquiera eso se ofreció. No volveremos.

Went for my Birthday lunch as accessibility is very good here and I can't walk far. Garden out front is great when weather kind but we had a table inside, September after all. We shared two starters which were really good, partner had Fish main and I had Pork belly. Most of the food was splendid yet my belly lacked much lean, superbly presented and soft but a bit fatty for most. Huge portions really but just managed to finish. Service was excellent, will be going back as soon as we can. Social distancing meant pub was a bit quiet but was pleasant and safe.

Delightful pub setting with good selection of beers and a great menu. Starters were delicious, Steak came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Only wish we had left room for dessert! Good Covid safety measures in place.

Had a lovely Sunday Lunch, generous portions with yummy Yorkshire pud. Quaint pub, good service, will definitely be back.

Tuvimos una muy buena comida allí la semana pasada. El servicio fue un poco lento pero estaba lleno. La comida que tuvimos fue buena comida de pub. La hamburguesa que comí estaba deliciosa y la panceta de cerdo de mi esposo también era recomendable. El pudín de caramelo pegajoso era increíble. Gracias a todos por una gran velada.

We have just returned from two night stay B&B arrangement. The pub is set in a lovely cotswolds village and the food is of a good standard. My feedback is based on the service we received from the bar manager during our stay. I found the attitude as unfriendly bordering on the obnoxious. There was in my opinion a difference in the way he treated his guests who stayed in the accommodation and the locals. My particular review was that I had booked a reservation the previous day with the bar manager for an evening meal at 1830 and when we came down for our meal the table had not been reserved. I was told by the younger member of staff we could have a table for 1 hour, but we had to leave at 1930. On completing my main course we were asked to vacate out table at 1915 to finish our dessert elsewhere. This made us feel like second class citizens. I can't substantiate whether we had bounced from our meal booking reservation or it was a genuine mistake, either way not impressed

We had a lovely meal out here while on holiday, the pub is lovely. The food was absolutely delicious, every meal we ordered was fabulous! The raspberry creme brulee was beautiful! Staff were very friendly and helpful we would definitely visit again.

We have just spent a few very happy days staying here. It was super in all respects. François, the manager, was excellent, and Lesley couldn't do enough for us. Quinton and Chloë were also commendable. We were made to feel very comfortable and had no concern over anti Covid-19 procedures; they were reassuring but unobtrusive. We shall return to this very attractive pub with its relaxing accommodation and tasty food!

Went on a Sunday lunch time, for a good Sunday roast, recommend by friends. Very simple menu with Covid19. I had the roast chicken, When it arrived 2 small pieces of chicken breast. I had to question if that was correct, and was advised yes it was. I then asked for more, to which they reluctantly did offer. The veg was very small portions as well. three small pieces of potatoes and a few bit of other veg. The gravy was extremely thick and concentrated. A very poor meal I have to say. Also the food arrived on a huge plate with small amounts of food.........I know you don't do that. Oh well, I don't think I would return. Service was generally average. The price for the meal and the whole lunch is vey expensive for what you get. NO VALUE for money.

Lunch for 4, August 2020. A very rainy day, so no outdoor eating. Nevertheless, very good food and service and we could take advantage of the £10 per head subsidy. Pleasant staff: I'll name check Henry, very efficient and waiting for his GCSE results!

Ate at the Cat this evening with friends. Food was absolutely amazing - really tasty and good size portions. Pub was very clean and well organised - can highly recommend.

Great pub that serves delicious food and has a well priced wine list. Definitely a bit of a find and I will definitely revisit. Staff are friendly. plenty of parking

We had a really chilled night away. Great food, efficient and friendly staff. The bar, restaurant and accomodation was clean and fresh.

My daughter 16y and her friend visited the cat and custard pot this week She ordered the burger it turned up raw The waitress said that it was fine Luckily she never touched the burger I rang and spoke to the manager and to date I have had no reply Obviously the chef has no clue how to cook a burger

We visited the Cat and Custard Pot Inn again, now that pubs are able to open again and we were not disappointed. Sometimes revisiting a place doesn't work out well - the service is poor, the food pretty average etc and that is always such a shame. But our visit today was thoroughly enjoyed. Excellent menu and wines, good service especially with all the extra running around the staff have to do due to the Covid19 regulations. We will be back again!

Walked here for lunch on the spur of the moment from Whatley Manor where we were staying. A couple of great sandwiches and beers later we left very satisfied. Great value and very friendly service. Clean and very professional C-19 service to add to the experience. Thank you!

A wonderful meal with excellent efficient friendly service. The measures in place to keep people safe was superb!

Excellent food, drinks & service sat outside on a pleasant summers afternoon. Pie of the day is highly recommended.

Great food, good local beer. Super friendly staff. Can highly recommend this place. Dog friendly which is nice.

Such a shame as the pub looks lovely in this idyllic setting. Everyone picked up on this guy's abruptness. Didn't bother going back.

Exactly what local country pubs should be like - good for a passing lunch snack - proper boozer for early finishers from work and perfectly acceptable evening food. Eat drink and be merry inside or outside in a charming pretty pub garden and watch the world go buy. Staff always try their best to please with excellent beers for the discerning ale aficionados - in particular the local Organic Tom Long (whoever he was) bitter from Stroud - hats off to the owners who all live in the village and keep this treasure in tip top nick and well away from the wrong hands!

What a beautiful county pub. Very well coming, very warm ambience. Our waitress was just lovely. Food was very good, not exceptional, but plentiful and good value. Would definitely visit again.

I visited with friends this week. We were the only table eating so there was no excuse for the poor service. We had to ask for water for the table and then we didn't get any glasses. The waitress asked if she could take our sharing platter starter, even though we were clearly still eating. I ordered pork belly, which I had to return as it was chewy and tough. Very disappointing. Although the chef kindly replaced my meal with a salmon fillet, I ate alone as my friends had already finished their meal. We won't be rushing back.

Stopped off for a drink while cycling, and we are delighted to see the Cat back in action and doing well. Very welcoming and well organised with great staff. Felt entirely safe and pretty normal. We sat in the garden and would have stayed for a late lunch if we could, the barbecue looked very tempting.

Visited just after lockdown was eased. I was a bit nervous going away but needn’t have been. Everything was clean and spaces between the tables inside the pub were more than adequate. The food was amazing and served with great care and attention. There were also plenty of tables outside just for drinks. Our room was fabulous loved the bathroom . Francois and his team have worked tremendously hard getting all areas of the cat ready for customers and wish them a speedy recovery from the lockdown.

We visited this pub with friends, as it is their local, for lunch. We had good, prompt service and enjoyed a variety of light lunch choices, for a reasonable price.

After booking a table for 10 to have a post countryside walk meal, we arrived at the pub and received a frosty reception from the bar staff (Like we hadn't pre-warned or pre-booked).The YOUNG staff were trying their very best to accommodate us and we're all polite. The more senior staff however, made the experience one we all would like to forget.After ordering our meals with a few allergens and dietary requirements, they were all ignored. I am lactose intolerant and ordered my chicken burger without cheese, this request was totally ignored. When I pointed out the mistake, which the young staff member apologised for, it was returned to me in less than 2 minutes with the majority of the cheese scraped off but with a few bits still visible. If this had been an allergy, they would have a bigger problem.As a daughter of a very successful landlord, it makes me very sad to see public houses with such great potential being let down by ignorant and ungrateful staff members. As I have previously mentioned, the younger team members were very courteous and accomodating but this was unfortunately overshadowed by the rudeness of, who I can only presume, was the landlady.It's such a shame but as they say you win some, you lose some and they have definitely lost all our future business.

Having visited MANY pubs across the UK, I’ve never been to a pub quite like this one - and no, I don’t mean that in a good way. Most pubs would welcome custom on a Saturday lunch time. As a table of 10, we even had the courtesy to call in advance to give them a heads up. Still, on arrival, we were made to feel as though we were an inconvenience rather than a valued customer. Despite the fact the pub itself wasn’t very busy, our drinks took 20 minutes to arrive at the table and our food order was incorrect on numerous occasions. When we tried to help and order our drinks at the bar, it was made very clear to us by staff and local residents that our custom was detracting from their usual dynamic.Once the drinks arrived at the table, the wine we had ordered was, to put it bluntly, not suitable for human consumption. A glass of vinegar would have been more enjoyable. We asked to swap it for a glass of prosecco instead which was fine. However, when we requested the bill, we realised we were still being charged for the wine. When we challenged why we were paying for it, we were told that the lady behind the bar, who had abruptly dismissed our comments and feedback, had been working in the trade longer than we had been alive and therefore had more taste than we did. It was clear that despite the many years of experience she claimed to have, it had, in fact, taught her nothing about decent customer service or decent taste in wine. This is a pub that clearly thrives off local custom rather than capitalising on those who might be visiting the local area. You’d be better of popping to the local Tesco and having a glass of wine at home.

I chose this place to meet a friend for dinner and found it a good choice. Luckily made a reservation on line as it was Friday night as it turned out to be booked up until later. I found it to be a warm, relaxed atmosphere of a local neighbourhood pub, but the food was first rate gastropub experience. TI had the "pan-pried" cod, which did not really see fried at all, but a moist lovely cut that exceeded my expectations. Staff also friendly and atentive.

The Cat and Custard Pot is a charming village pub with lots of character and beautifully decorated inside. We've been a couple of times for Sunday lunch and never been disappointed. The food is delicious and freshly prepared and the service is top notch. Even though the pub was really busy (so best book to avoid in advance) we were served our drinks straight away and food in about 20 mins. We'll definitely be back!

Our third visit, in less than 5 weeks. If I could I’d be there every week. As soon as you walk in the door, there is a feeling of coming home. The decor is beautiful, the food is amazing (best Sunday roast ever), the service is outstanding. Nothing is to much trouble. Can’t wait for my next visit.

What a great little place. The Inn is lovely, staff polite, a good selection of drinks, food was tasty and delivered to the table quickly. Our room was in the eaves, but cosy with a large modern bathroom. A really lovely place and all credit to the families for saving this little gem.

We are very lucky to have such a wonderful pub in the village, bought by a few of the villagers to preserve its legacy, and what a great job they have done on the whole. Food is very good and consistent and the service is very good and friendly too. My negative as a local would be the rooms have taken precedence over the pub to a degree so the management are constantly fussing about noise in the pub - surely there should be a clause when you stay in a pub that 'pub noise comes as an occupational hazard at times!' Also I have noticed pub bar trade itself has died off a fair bit - a few charming girls behind the bar at times might increase the volume (opinion of 98% of the village male drinkers! - a dying breed although there are still a good core who support) - would love to see the landlords focus on getting the 'boozer' aspects of the pub more robust. Very happy overall though.

Exceptional Sunday roast at the Cat & Custard Pot! The beef was incredible. Staff very friendly and welcomed walk in’s as it was, quite rightly, heavily reserved. Lovely ales also. Highly recommended.

Cosy, friendly, stylish and the fire was lit! Such a great place with a lovely team serving wonderful food. I had a delicious pie, we also had scallops and ham egg chips... Fantastic! We will definitely go back... Regularly I hope!

We all enjoyed a fantastic meal to celebrate my parents 66th Wedding Anniversary. The food was delicious and the service excellent!

Just had an excellent meal for two here. Steak and Pie, just wonderful. Followed by Crumble. Definitely going back next time we are near.

Had a lovely meal here, still cosy with log burner and Christmas tree despite the Christmas party. Fish was cooked perfectly and pie great. Staff are very helpful and friendly will definitely return when next in the area

This was recommended by a friend who had previously stayed here whilst visiting the area. The room was very clean and comfortable. Our only complaint would be the coffee maker which one had to use to make tea.

We came here as an alternative to the overpriced hotel we were staying in and it was a really good choice. Great atmosphere, delicious food and great service from the young members of staff and manager.

Having visited Westonbirt Arboretum we had lunch here. There was a very good menu including traditional pub meals. The staff very pleasant and welcoming and the pub was very busy but we didn't wait long for food. My husband enjoyed a cheese souffle as a starter which he said was delicious followed by haunch of venison which again he enjoyed very much. I only had a main course of pork belly which was also very nicely cooked and tasty. Only one had dessert which again was excellent. My only criticism is that although they were very knowledgeable regarding the contents of their food and very helpful, but as a coeliac and unfortunately lactose intolerant too, it limited my choice very much. Had they used cornflour in some of their dishes instead of wheatflour then there would have been a greater variety of things I could have had. I would thoroughly recommend this pub to anyone as the food is well presented and fair prices.

Magnificent. Went for lunch, dinner, stayed the night and finished with breakfast.

We stopped here for lunch after a trip to Westonbirt Arboretum. It was a particularly busy day and they were tight for tables. After being sat originally, we were then moved to a better spot (unprompted) which was most appreciated as we had a bit more space! Gorgeous food, lovely and welcoming staff - can’t be faulted.

Esta es la segunda vez que visito aquí un domingo y no me decepcionó. La comida y el servicio eran geniales: el almuerzo del domingo tenía una buena relación calidad-precio y había una buena variedad de postres. ¿Está a 8 minutos en coche del arboreto de Westonbirt y una parada que vale la pena?

Ok pub grub. . . . Pero no tan especial. Tuve gambas y patatas fritas. . . . me llevó de vuelta a los años setenta / ochenta y estuvo bien, pero era gambas y papas fritas al igual que las gambas y papas fritas que recuerdo ed. Para empezar tuve soufflé de queso. . . . Cualquiera que se ponga un soufflé de queso debe tener mucha confianza en la cocina. . . lo cual creo que fue un poco fuera de lugar en esta ocasión. No fue el soufflé más ligero. Así que básicamente una buena cena, pero no tengo prisa por volver

Would just like to say had a lovely stay here and the manager Quentin went over and above the norm! Breakfast was very nice also

Recibimos una cálida bienvenida y nos llevaron rápidamente a nuestra habitación

Two of us visited 13.45 on a wet Monday. Told party of eight would be arriving and unable even to take our order for half an hour. In other words we don't want your business.

Beautifully restored inn and surrounded by peaceful, scenic walks. The meals are delicious and it feels as though you are at home. We asked many questions and learned about the area.

Day tripping with family in the Cotswolds we sought advice from Trip Advisor for a good lunch spot nearby. We followed the reviews and made the trip to Tetbury village where we found the pub gardens, well maintained with colourful hanging pots of begonias inviting us in. Inside the intimate small bar with a few characters chatting on the stools soon had us feeling part of the locals.

10 of us had lunch here last Sunday prior to a dog walk around the village. I haven’t eaten here for about 10 years. I’m glad we did and the service was good,friendly atmosphere and a good roast. Washed down with a couple of nice pints of Bob.

Had an early supper and thought the food and wine was very good. Decent burger - if rather too many chips and a tasty steak. Landlord was friendly and helpful and pub was nicely decorated and welcoming.

My wife and I stayed for one night in a very comfortable room and had an excellent meal. My only criticism is the current state of the car park - a good size but needs some work on the finish. Overall a lovely stay thank you

Had lunch with husband and father in law today. Excellent service and great food. I had scallops with black pudding and parsnip puree which was delicious! Definitely worth another visit. Thanks

I can only give 10 out of 10 for everything at this charming inn in a delightful village. The service was first class, very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Our meals were beautifully cooked and served, the battered cod and chips were the best I have ever eaten - crisp batter and white, flaky fish and fat, well cooked chips. The smoked chicken salad was a good size portion, with lots of colour and flavours. Excellent coffee. There is a lovely garden at the front and although facing the road, this is a very pretty village and the cottages and gardens around are lovely. First class clean toilets and good disabled toilet.

The pub is in a small hamlet with just a church and village hall circa 2 1/2 miles outside the beautiful town of Tetbury and very close to Prince Charles home Highgrove. We stayed overnight and ate in the pub on the Saturday evening. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. Our rooms were to a very good standard and the evening meals were excellent with the best of ingredients. The breakfast offered was Continental with Full English breakfast too. There is an outside eating area only at the front of the pub and plenty of parking at the back.

This lovely country pub with rooms caters for all. We had Sunday lunch for 4 and all the food was excellent. Interesting starters which the Chef had obviously given a lot of thought to. Not your usual run of the mill. We all had scallops with black pudding. At first glance Expensive at £12 but the portion size was big with 3 full king scallops served. So value for money. Roast dinner of Sirloin and belly pork was delicious with plenty of veggies served separately. All well cooked. The service is friendly and efficient and despite being busy there were no issues with time delays or quality. This is a great pub, well managed with the manager Francois, providing a very friendly welcome.

Great service, exciting menu and lovely ambiance. Second time we have been and would highly recommend this pub/restaurant. If you are staying in Tetbury or near by make the effort to go. You will not be disappointed.

A little off the beaten track, but worth a visit. Lovely atmosphere. Good varied menu. Meals reasonably priced, well cooked and presented. Staff polite and friendly. What's not to like?

Good menu and all done well. Excellent beer and good service. I had the cod and chips with onion rings, as an extra. The pork scratching, as a starter, was superb.

Excellent food although service a little ‘patchy’ at dinner.

Our first visit on Sunday 14th July, and we weren't disappointed. A great place in a lovely village.

We came here a few times when we were staying in the village, the food was very nice, large portions and friendly and helpful staff.

We booked easierly through booking.com

Stayed for two nights and had a great time. Great beer, superb food, and a really good sized room. Staff were super friendly. Lovely location with some great walks.

Excellent find off the beaten track near Tetbury. Freshly prepared meals which we were able to enjoy outside on a beautiful summers day. Everyone enjoyed their mains and too full to partake of a dessert.

We visited having heard good things about the refurbishment and supposedly excellent food. It was a disappointing experience all round. The bar is now almost non existent and has lost all its charm, having been taken over by overflow dining tables which was the area we were seated in. It also seems to have lost all of its customers in the process, so is now totally soulless.

Couldn’t have asked for more from a pub B&B.; Room was gorgeous with a beautiful en-suite, food and drink was excellent plus sensibly priced and the overall atmosphere was so relaxing. Just wish we’d booked for more than one night!

Turned up here for a lunchtime meal on the back of some positive reviews only to discover the chef had walked out that morning. We were warned that there was a slight delay in service of approx 30 minutes but after a while we still hadn’t ordered. The waitress said it would be 30 minutes from order which could be a while longer.

I'd definitely recommend this as a great place to stay. The room I stayed in (Silk Wood) was very comfortable. I spent two nights there. One night I was going to Westonbirt Arboretum for an event and had left it too late to book a taxi. Two members of staff volunteered to help by taking me there and picking me up at the end of the night! I was so grateful - above and beyond the call of duty!!
