Fossebridge Inn in Cotswold - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We now understand why the food is so good and reasonably priced ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the owner is in the kitchen! Celia runs the bar, excellent local beers and a smile and very helpful. We don't go often, we must go more, the steak sandwich is enormous....best to share!

Sunday lunch brilliant, Roast beef to die for! cooked to perfection, been a couple of times when passing through Fossebridge. Thank you

A great place to stay so close to fine walks and great racing stables, particularly that of Ben Pauling.

Went with my sister for lunch to visit the Fossebridge where our late Mum was a cook back in the 60s and my sister & I worked for a short time while living in Chedworth, The landlord was so welcoming and we both had fish & chips absolutely delicious, nothing has really changed about this beautiful hotel except of course the staff, we had a wonderful day reminiscing and then visited a few old neighbors in Chedworth, will definatly return...

We had an accident outside the pub. The staff couldn't have been kinder to us. They provided tea and a warm place to stay while we waited for recovery. Very grateful for their kindness at a horrid time

We’ve been before as we have a holiday home nearby and they are one of the few pubs in the area that serve food on a Monday lunchtime. We have always found the service to be excellent, the food is a mix of standard items you find on a pub menu and specials - all the food is well cooked, fresh and tasty. This time we took our son for a Sunday lunch. We both had lamb and my wife went the half a roast chicken. Wife and son then shared a gorgeous fruit crumble. My son said it was one of the best Sunday lunches he has had- tender and perfectly cooked meat, a fab Yorkshire pudding, steamed veg, roasties and lashing of perfect gravy. Extremely dog friendly with biscuits and bowels of water for them to enjoy. Parts of the pub go back to the 1600’s and it feels like a traditional Cotswolds pub. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Abbiamo cenato in questo bel pub con attenzioni da ristorantino . Ottima soup , ottimo fish and chips , ma una menzione particolare è per la cottage pie , la migliore assaggiata. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

My wife and I stayed here for one night as we were attending an airshow nearby. Dee and Geoff were welcoming, professional and attentive. The building is charming and over 400 years old. Our room was clean and well appointed, and it was made very clear to us that because the walls are very thick, wifi was highly unlikely to work in the room. Wifi is available in the bar area. Cell phone coverage is spotty because this is a very rural area, and again this was explained to us. We had a drink on the lawn outside, which is beautifully cared for. It was explained that we could not eat outside because at this time of year, insects from the rver nearby would be attracted to the food. This is a dog friendly inn, and we saw a number of people with dogs both outside and inside - a plus for us, but if you are not a dog person, you should be aware. Moving into the bar area for our dinner, we had a great meal, reasonable priced. We needed an early breakfast the next day, so just had juice, coffee, yoghurt and cereal. The lady serving breakfast was warm and friendly. This is a long review, but having seen other less positive ones, I wanted to explain in more detail what our experience was. We consider it a real gem that we have discovered, and we will definitely go back to stay there in the future.

Only popped In for a quick birthday drink after a local walk and got greeted by a rude, abrasive women who clearly had no desire to serve us. Watch out, as welcoming as salt water to an open wound! Terrible. No wonder there was no one else drinking in their gardens, all been scared away!

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights. Room very roomy and overlooked the pubs rear garden. We eat here all 3 nights and all meals were great. It’s so nice to find pubs that still sell good pub food. This is a privately owned property and it shows. All the staff were very friendly, nothing was to much trouble, food very good and as a free house ,very good selection (5) of real ales. All in all a great atmosphere. Would defiantly stay here again.

Really lovely old worldly pub full of atmosphere. Food excellent, beautifully presented. Greeted by the owners dog, friendly but not over-friendly. Service was quick and served by pleasant staff. Would highly reccomend.

Met friends in this cold pub. Was told there was a radiator on in the other room which was full! The main bar area was so cold so I had to keep my coat on. There was no understanding from the landlord, although our waitress was friendly. The chicken pie had a very sloppy filling with virtually no meat, but the vegetables were ok. The exterior looked run down with loads of stone walling falling down and portacabins. There are so many other pubs in the Cotswolds and this one needs to improve.

There are tables outside in a pleasant lawn as well as inside. They have a decent selection of beers and a good menu. Service is prompt and polite.

Me and my family stayed in this inn for 2 days to see family. Now there are basic needs that are expected to be met in this day in age and one of those is wifi. However the wifi is unusable and outright disgraceful. Now the rooms were pretty and the tiling was magnificent but how hard is it to have wifi in this day in age. I do not plan on returning to this establishment until this wifi Debacle is put to rest.

Visited for lunch family of four, we sat in the well manicured gardens and enjoyed lovely service and a really well cooked hearty pub lunch. We both opted for steak sandwich with chips & homemade coleslaw & salad. The kids picked homemade tomato soup with half a baguette & sausages, chips and beans. The sausages were proper ones no frozen rubbish. Really friendly lovely service, we enjoyed our meal and would definitely return.

On a dark and wet evening it was lovely to step inside the Inn with its cosy, warm feeling and wonderful decorations. Great greeting from the resident labrador and the staff. Good variety on the menu including unusual items. Delicious food. Tables were well spaced so although other diners were around we felt safe and correct precautions were being taken. Highly recommended.

Vinimos aquí un miércoles por la noche durante Covid. Todas las mesas estaban bien espaciadas y la camarera llevaba una máscara. Tuve el eglefino rebozado con cerveza y patatas fritas. El pescado estaba fresco y las patatas fritas estaban extra crujientes. esto fue seguido por una tarta de limón casera que estaba deliciosa.

In these Covid times this outlet is handling the situation very professionally. Phoned up booked a table. Sat outside had great Haddock, sausages and steak sandwich for lunch. Beer in great condition. Lemon pud. Wonderful. Will return. Thanks.

Siendo un local pasamos este pub a menudo. Antes de la gestión actual, solía ser "uno de los lugares locales para ir". Acabábamos de terminar un trabajo por la mañana y pensamos que íbamos a tomar una copa y almorzar.El pub rural está muy bien ubicado junto al río con un gran lago / estanque en el jardín trasero bien cuidado. Dentro del pub es grande pero acogedor, con 3 - 4 habitaciones interiores para comer. Muros de piedra de Cotswold e incendios de leña. Ciertamente puntúa 5 por su ubicación y su singularidad.Los menús eran comida de pub estándar de 3 estrellas con poco estilo y mucho para elegir. Lamentablemente, el propietario defraudó el lugar. Tuvimos que caminar por el pub y salir al jardín para encontrar al dueño que estaba destinado a atender el bar. Estaba fumando por la parte de atrás. Entró cuando terminó. Tomamos nuestras bebidas y pedimos una mesa y nos dijeron que todas estaban ocupadas a pesar de que el lugar estaba casi vacío. Sugerí que comiéramos afuera y me dijeron que no servirían afuera ese día. Así que golpeamos la idea del almuerzo en la cabeza. Eso hubiera sido un fácil 100 incLlevamos nuestras bebidas afuera ya que no sabíamos dónde sentarnos ya que todas las mesas vacías estaban ocupadas.Nos sentamos en la zona de fumadores y conversamos con uno de los lugareños que fumaba. Como la tarde era un poco invernal, aprovechamos la lámpara de calor instalada en la zona de fumadores. En poco tiempo la lámpara se apagó y presionar el interruptor de tiempo no parecía funcionar. Luego vimos al dueño regresar al bar. Según el local con el que estábamos hablando, él acababa de apagar la lámpara de calor en el interruptor de aislamiento porque no le gusta usar la electricidad a pesar de que hay un interruptor de tiempo en el área de fumar.Nunca nos hemos sentido tan desagradables en una casa pública. El pub solía estar abarrotando el aparcamiento desbordado. Ya nunca lo veo tan ocupado.

Payed £80 per person for Christmas Day- the service was awful. One miserable waiter to serve 4 tables, the largest being about 20. Ordered drinks with table water- drinks finally arrived after 2nd course, water arrived after 3rd course the main roast. Roast was the worst ever- Meat with pale roast potatoes and boiled carrots, sprouts and cauliflower, no roasting, no seasoning, no flavour, asked for salt and pepper and got given it until nearly finished and was rudely told ‘we don’t use salt here’ the food and service awful. What made our christmas was being together as a family. Would never return to this place again.

A delightful Cotswold Inn but the food was disappointing and poor value. The seating arrangement not good either.

Entramos sin reserva. Nos llevaron a una mesa y nos sirvieron con entusiasmo y rapidez. Todos comimos varias comidas diferentes - comida típica de pub pero realmente casera y caliente. Muy caliente ! ! Otra ronda de copas y nos fuimos a un concierto al aire libre. Definitivamente lo recomendaría si tuviera prisa o un grupo grande. Servicio 100%. Entorno un poco cansado pero cómodo y acogedor.

Nos alojamos en el Stable Cottage al lado de la posada recientemente con nuestra familia de cinco. La gente encantadora en el Inn nos apretó para cenar a pesar del hecho de que no teníamos reservaciones. La señora que nos atendió se aseguró de que recibiéramos nuestros pedidos antes de que la cercana fiesta de los 30 pusiera la suya y nos cuidó muy bien. La comida fue absolutamente deliciosa y disfrutamos muchísimo.

Sentado junto al río con el sonido de las aguas corriendo, remolinos grises, remolinos bajo puentes que siguen la misma ruta que en la época romana, siento que he viajado en el tiempo. Hay pájaros gorjeando y la sensación de que en cualquier momento se puede ver un pez o una nutria por el rabillo del ojo. Un crujido de grava y el ensueño se rompe. Es hora de tomar una bebida refrescante en el encanto del mundo del bardo, características interesantes en el edificio que rezuma un sentido de la historia. Fácil de llegar en automóvil desde Northleach o Cirencester, en la inmersión de una mega colina en la antigua vía romana de Fosse Way, ahora la A 429. Un montón de aparcamiento y preciosos jardines junto al río. Además de buena comida y cervezas. No es un mal lugar para detenerse e imaginar el pasado.

A nice place to stop for lunch on the way to Dorset. Good pub grub, friendly service. Use this place as often as possible. Pleasant gardens to stretch your legs in.

We booked in advance, and mentioned that one of our party was a coeliac (me). I was talked through the menu by a knowledgeable staff member. It was a lovely relaxed meal, thank you.

We used to visit frequently a few years ago as its a cosy pub in a wonderful setting. However, I won’t be going back again.The staff were at times just rude but in the main totally incompetent when it comes to good service. Barman simply walked off half way through our order, waiter said if we don’t sit down now the chef will throw the food at him. Beyond that it was just a struggle to get through the meal. Difficult to get served drinks, condiments, desert etc. It was all hard work.Sunday roast was pretty poor and was no better than i could have made at home. Totally overpriced with staff who were either having a really bad day, or could do with visiting some other restaurants to learn a little about basic manners and service.Felt like the Cotswolds answer to Fawlty Towers

I've been here twice now and on both occasions the bar area was freezing, the stove was on but, should have been lit much earlier in the morning. The food was average and the fries were cold!

Called in on the off chance for an early evening meal. Most of the tables had reserved on them so we nearly left but the man behind the bar said they were from earlier in the day. I had the pan fried sea bass which was very enjoyable & my husband had the sausage and mash (his 2nd choice, as they had no homemade cottage pie)which he said was very tasty. It had a lovely homely feel to the bar/eating area. The only down side was when some locals came in for a drink talking very loudly with some rather unpleasant language. I realise for some people this is acceptable but it's not what I wanted to listen to whilst eating my meal, hence 4 star not 5 for the meal.

This place has lots of Cotswold character: exposed stone walls, wooden beams, an old wood burning stove and so on, but for me it does rather have too much the feel of a restaurant than a pub. Most of the tables have 'reserved' signs on them, even on a mid-week lunchtime and it's certainly not the sort of place to go for a game of darts or doms. Food is very good; nothing too ambitious, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Pan Seared Sea Bass (£16.50), served with spring onion mash and parsley sauce. The accompanying vegetables were carrots, cauliflower and broccoli which were well prepared albeit somewhat predictable. They have a good selection of four or five ales including the tasty Fossebridge Ale, brewed specially for the pub.

Stopped here at lunchtime after visiting Coln St. Dennis across the road and although we had not reserved a table, we were made very welcome and a table was cleared and prepped for us.

Had the lamb Sunday dinner, it was incredible. Friendly polite service. Thats all that needs to be said really, would highly recommend!

Fantastic friendly welcome from Dee, Geoff, Carl and Alison. We stayed in the Fossbridge room, very clean, bed was very comfy! We dined every night in the bar, menu was very good, food excellent, and big portions. Breakfast was cooked to perfection.

Busy gastro pub under new ownership, Cosy & reasonable menu, Sunday lunch quite good too, Staff very helpful and accommodating.

Excellent food, good sized portions in lovely surroundings. Gorgeous garden in the summer where you can sit out overlooking the grounds and lake. Cosy and intimate with log fires in the winter

Pasamos la mañana en la villa romana, necesitábamos comida antes de partir hacia su casa después de habernos quedado en Cheltenham durante el fin de semana, allí estaba un oasis en las colinas, muy útil para encontrarnos una mesa para el almuerzo del domingo en un restaurante completamente lleno un domingo. Sin reserva previa. Delicioso almuerzo con el mejor queso brie, nuez y pozo de espinacas que hayamos probado. Maravilloso entorno y hermoso edificio.

What a wonder setting for a family luncheon Beautiful building and the pub/restaurant was just something special along with the open log fire Meals were terrific and a good selection good ample servings, delicious Recommend for a visit

Llegas a todas las tablas con etiquetas 'Reservadas', pero nadie las usa. Muchos lugareños rodean el bar, sus abrigos cubren las mesas reservadas, muchos perros (no es que nos haya molestado, pero debes saber esto si eres alérgico o le tienes miedo a los perros).

Encantadora y antigua posada en Fosse Way, en Cotswolds, situada junto al río Coln. Excelente selección de cervezas y sidra, muy buena comida y alojamiento. El amable personal que ofrece un excelente servicio. Con el clima adecuado, el jardín es un lugar encantador para comer y beber.

Friendly pub /hotel, we had a very reasonably priced meal ; I can recommend the vegetarian pie and gorgeous sticky toffee pudding especially

This is a lovely little pub with a nice big garden. There is a good food menu, including pies, ham egg and chips, cottage pie , fish dishes etc. Sadly there are two little cars specifically for little children, but both were broken, so why do they bother!

On our second visit to the Cotswolds we had to return to the Fossebridge Inn for Sunday lunch no questions asked!

Good value, generous portions and lovely food, just the right balance between cuisine and pub food. Will definitely go again.

We live locally and thought we would pop to the Fossebridge for a light supper. Man at the bar asked how he could help us. We said we would like to eat in the garden - sunny and still 25 degrees. Man’s reply - ‘kitchen closes in 20 minutes and you can’t eat in the garden after 6:00pm because of the insects as we are next to a river’.

Sunday evening no food outside after 6pm and no food orders after 8pm inside. Meal was average. Advised last table available but in poor position, as all others reserved, but the other reserved tables were not used during the stay. Plenty of other restaurants in the area.

really good location, had a good steak and a beer the staff were attentive and helpful would recomment

Live locally and finally after 8 years we decide to give it a try, wish we hadn't waited so long. We will be back. Welcoming, relaxing and beautiful food. Had starter and main course, couldn't fault it.

A memorable day with friends enjoying the Inn and its grounds and its food. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were particularly welcoming and friendly

My husband and I stopped here on the recommendation of our B&B; hosts. The atmosphere is what Americans would think of as the typical English pub - old and cozy. The publican was attentive, and the food was very good. My husband had the sausage, and it was a large serving, with mash and peas. I had the vegetarian pie, which was delicious and served with sides of carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and mash. There is a nice outdoor seating area for fine days, and well behaved dogs are welcome.

Beautiful setting and seemed like a great pub but didn’t stay to find out rudest landlady I have ever come across.

This is one of my favorite pubs in the Cotswolds. It’s not pretentious or overcrowded. Instead it’s warm and welcoming with great food and beers. The atmosphere inside the pub is lovely and cosy and the gardens are magnificent in the summer. And the best thing of all is the fabulous in-house Labrador that greets you every visit. There was a review that said this place is too dog friendly. No such thing in my opinion. In fact, it makes me more inclined to visit more often.

Visited here for a coffee, and what a setting this has. Road one side, but looks out over beautiful grounds and lake. Gorgeous hotel and bar / restaurant. Friendly local service. Nice ales and coffee served. Only negative was how cold it got in the bar.

We stop here to break up our journey to see family a few times a year; and always make sure we have our dinner here en route. The owners are very friendly, as is the lovely dog which our son loves!

Five adult family members had dinner here during Easter week. The welcome was warm and friendly - from humans and dog. The food was superb. We all had pies - 4 of us chose the beef and one the chicken. The verdict was that they were the best pies ever. The vegetables were also cooked to perfection. We were so glad we hadn't also ordered starters. We'd have exploded! We would also recommend their fruit crumbles and the Sicilian lemon tart. Scrumptious.

Warm friendly pub with the most delicious hot water crust pies. Even if it’s not quite on your route, definitely worth a detour. We hope to return.

Set in the cotswolds this quintessential cotswolds inn has a certain charm about it that will make you feel right as home especially once you see the prices are very reasonable and the food is simple and tasty.

We were staying here for a weekend break and ate in the restaurant on both nights. The food is best described as high quality pub grub. There is a well balanced choice on the menu and our meals were all freshly cooked and very tasty...

We were staying local to the inn and had Sunday lunch. Took the dog and the owners were so welcoming. I have had many Sunday lunches and they never live up to normal food in most places however this is without doubt the best I...

The pies were delicious. The beer was good. A very comfortable and satisfying lunch by the open fire.

We had the warmest welcome for our group of 9. We had pre-booked the table but not pre-ordered the food. Every single one of us had a fabulous meal; we were able to choose from the festive menu, the normal menu and the pie menu...

Just called in at this Inn to get lunch on a Súnday whilst visiting Cotswolds. They were full but offered to sit us in the Garden Room (basically the breakfast room for the Hotel) if we preferred, which had great view of the extensive garden...

There was a warm welcome from the moment me and my son arrived. There were also lovely fresh roses on the tables and a cosy log fire. The food was delicious. My son had very good soup for starters followed by a Prawn Cocktail packed...

Dropped in for a meal, Sunday evening. Great welcome, great service, fantastic food and really friendly local country pub atmosphere.

Stopped here en route to Southampton after a long drive from Chester. A lovely friendly welcome from the owners and their gorgeous dog, Gibson. We had delicious sandwiches made with rustic bread and served with mixed salad and crisps. These were washed down with tasty...

Beautiful location. Nice people. Good pub with perfect service. Nice garden and bar area. Good for dinner or a stop on a journey

We ate here both Saturday and Sunday nights and were impressed with the food. Price wise, it's on a par with similar establishments. The roast lamb dinner was particularly good on Sunday evening and we were able to sit outside and enjoy the lake at...

We ate here on a drizzly Monday night. Traditional country style inn and gorgeous pub dog. I had the biggest piece of haddock ever. It was beautifully cooked with loads of piping hot chips -superb. My partner had shepherds pile which she enjoyed. We will definitely be returning.

Had lunch on Saturday food was excellent very tasty and good portions were able to get a table as they were very busy with a large party we will be returning lots but we will ring to book a table

Visited on 25 Aug lunchtime. Lovely food in a beautiful setting. Sat outside and enjoyed the very generous helping of fish and chips, steak and beefburger.

Turned up for lunch at 1pm on a beautiful bank holiday Monday and told that they weren't serving food. Apparently they would have served us if we'd booked in advance but not as a walk-in group, even though the place was only half full and it's on a main road where they must rely on passing traffic for most of their trade.Not our first bad experience here. SameThing happened last year and we thought we'd give them another chance. More fool us.

As I walked inside I knew we were going to have a great time. The food and drinks were very good and the service was excellent.

Only ate here but very good food although be prepared to dig deep in your pocket.Friendly staff and black labrador. Lovely gardens.

We stayed here for 3 nights with our Golden Retriever, Max. From the start we were made most welcome and introduced to the resident labrador, Gibson.We had an attractive room overlooking the garden with a large ensuite. It did not have a fixed shower which would be good but a slight point. It was a well furnished room with a very comfy bed.Breakfast is served in a large room, also overlooking the gardens. There was a good choice, my husband particularly enjoyed the kippers!Evening meals were taken in the bar, again a good choice on the menu. The staff were very pleasant and friendly.There are extensive grounds with a lake so excellent places for dog walking. Dogs are welcome throughout the hotel.We really enjoyed our visit and would happily return.

My niece purchased a credit note for lunch or dinner at this restaurant for our birthdays. We went to eat today 25/5/17 and were delighted that it was warm and sunny so we were able to enjoy the gardens, lake etc. Service was very good, our drinks were cold and the food was very good. I had a starter of Pate, delicious followed by beer battered whale,( SORRY HADDOCK.) the fish was nicely cooked, the batter crisp and hot. My wife had the sea bass, again well cooked and tasty. We received a warm welcome and great food so what was there not too like, finished of with a coffee. Would not hesitate to call again.

Called for lunch, lucky we got a table as nearly all the tables were reserved.A warm welcome and friendly chat with the owner. I ordered Ham, eggs, chips and side salad, Tony ordered Beer Battered Haddock, chips and peas.The meals cooked fresh and served hot. Tony said the second fish was still hot to the end, when his came I was really glad that I hadn't ordered it too.Both decided no dessert but then he asked if they did Sorbet, yes so he had Sorbet I had Vanilla ice cream, both delicious. It really was service with a smile and made to feel really welcome even though he was really busy, nothing to much trouble.

Fabulous food, excellent service and perfect setting! Our host, Carl, was brilliant, looked after us very well and kept us entertained. The experience felt very personal. We were a large group, 11, and had preordered before arriving. We had a drink out on the lawn before going in to a beautiful room with a view of the lake. The food arrived within minutes and was delicious. The service was efficient and friendly without being in the least intrusive and Carl was very willing to engage with us all and very knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant. He also kept the younger members of the group entertained, showing us a card trick and a new game. We will definitely be back soon and would highly recommend for anyone wanting a nice meal out!

We have a holiday home in Cotswolds so drive down the A429 most weekends and like to try a new place to eat either on the way or on the way home.The outside area is lovely and as it was a sunny day so sat outside - so far so good.I went into the bar to order drinks , extremely slow service for a place that wasn't busy. The manager finally came round to serving me by saying "what do you want" ! This was the start of the rudeness and to cut a long story short , our order came out wrong, slow service,food was very mediocre, the pie was ok but all the veg was raw and cold. We didn't receive our bread and oil which I asked to come out first as we were so hungry. My wife went to check on where this was after about 10 mins and the manager told her that "it does come out of a different kitchen you know"! Well this kitchen must be in Timbuktu as we're still waiting for this bread.When I went to pay the bill, again with the manager he left the bread on the bill to which I challenged and instead of being apologetic he was just rude and saw it as my problem that I wasn't happy with that or the service.All in all not a place I would return to, as I say the outdoor area is nice, but slow service, ok food and disgustingly rude manager means not some where I would want to visit again.

we only went in for soup as it was a typical " Spring " day so not very warm. We had had a similar visit before so made it a stop for lunch. The bread was warm and fresh but the soup was lukewarm. This was easily rectified and we enjoyed our soup with a glass of real ale beer

Relaxing atmosphere, Good choice of real ale, Good selection of winesFood choice excellent, owners of the Fossebridge lovely welcoming people, staff helpful and friendly, plus point dogs welcome Beautiful grounds which surrounds the Inn, large garden with pond. Local walks start at 2miles.We have been staying in the Stables which is owned by the Fossebridge Inn, ample room, sleep up to six, plus dogs welcome I would Highly recommend The Inn at Fossebridge

Good local hotel offering fine dining and bar meals. Very pleasant staff and food very enjoyable. Cosy and warm with open fires.

Part way through our walk we visited this warm cosy pub. We had a lovely welcome from the staff and resident dog Gibson. We enjoyed it so much we went back a couple of days later. We had a prawn bagette and chunky chips it was absolutely lovely! We'll be back again. It's dog friendly too

We saw this Inn when driving through to Stow. It looked very inviting. We dined here so we cannot comment on the accommodation. We walked in and was instantly greeted with negativity from barman. He was curt and unfriendly. This was totally not what we expected and was so unwelcoming I didn't want to stay. The food smelled good when passing by so we ordered a steak sandwich and pate despite being told that food was not being served for another hour by the unfriendly barman ! Best steak sandwich ever. Pink meat and not too bready. Pate very nice. There was then a change of Bar staff with an elder gentleman- wow what a difference. Wished he was on duty when we had arrived. He was totally what you expect in this pub and not the negative unfriendly barman that 'greeted' us. We would recommend going if it wasn't for the first barmans attitude.

We popped in after visiting relatives for a late lunch early supper.The bar was busy and had a nice atmosphere, there's no phone connection as you are in a natural dip, but it didn't bother us! We didn't ask re Wifi.We shared a prawn and chorizo starter which was very good. We then had roast lamb and roast beef which was lovely.There were no roast potatoes so we had new potatoes. The Yorkshire's were large and there were plenty of vegetables.

Have already reviewed this today as the Inn at Fossebridge so not writing it all again.A bloody good pub with bloody good food. And bloody good staff.

Lovely place often driven past but pooped in tonight. Lovely food, big portions and very friendly, took our dog in too.

I grew up near Fossebridge and now live abroad. Every summer we come back to the UK and every summer we have a terrible experience at the Fossebridge inn. We keep returning because of the beautiful garden, but will return no more. The staff are rude and patronizing, and determined to make the visit unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. Want to move two tables together to accommodate a large group? Not allowed. Want to put your umbrella up to keep rain off instead of sun? Nope. Book a table outside but arrive to find they've decided you should eat inside? Yep.. There are so many wonderful pubs within a few miles of Fossebridge. Go to one of them instead.

I have had several lunches at this pub which have been nice. I therefore organised to meet some friends here for an evening meal last Saturday.The garden is lovely and the pub very atmospheric but the food was very poor and so was the service. The steak was very average and the fish and accompanying vegetables were completely overlooked.The pub was empty apart from us and I am not surprised.

Stopped here for a light lunch. The garden had plenty of seating and a wonderful setting. The menu ranged from a sandwich/baguette to a main meal. We opted for a baguette and a pint. We chose an egg mayonnaise, a ham & tomato and a bacon & brie baguette, all delicious, served with crisps and a small side salad. Just the job for a light lunch. We strolled around the small lake after and enjoyed good weather. Not cheap but not overpriced. Worth stopping for.

Perfect for a light Pub lunch and a cold glass of wine in the garden. Great food, excellent Service and a fabulous Location.

Wonderful location for this old fashioned pub and hotel. Beautiful Garden to sit in and lake with birds for adventures if you are a child. Pub has fabulous food, the pies are my favourite! A good selection on the usual menu and specials. There is also a restaurant and menu as well. Excellent for popping in for a beverage, spot of food or an occasion. Must see.

The grounds are so very English with a river running through and swans and ducks. The pub is traditional, and the food is gourmet with options for families as well. Perfect placebos it with a drink on a sunny day, or stay inside the beautiful pub/restaurant on a colder or rainy day.

Despite having lived only a few miles away for over 20 years I only recently visited for the firsttime and have now been 3 times in quick succession. Excellent beers well kept and in good condition. All day service of food makes this ideal for a spontaneous meal at odd times of the day. On separate occasions I have enjooyed excellent chicken pie and a huge excellent Sunday roast. The extensive gardens with large lake are wonderful to walk around or sit and admire. Beautiful in the sunshine. Good parking.

Great inn filled with character and atmosphere. Beautiful Gardens and location. Food and service were both OK. My fish and chips were good but my partners classic pie was made with very hard and over cooked pastry and the venison was chewy and tough. Fine for a stop but don't expect great food.

We had lunch there after a long walk. The ales were good and the pies were also very good.The food took quite a while to arrive but that's what you get with pies unless you want there lukewarm.Both pies were very tasty and with a good portion of mash and vegetables.

Four adults (one vegetarian and one vegan), one baby, and two dogs popped here for lunch mid-week. It's a gorgeous building and fairly quiet during the day. We phoned up in advance and they emailed us a vegan menu (to be pre-booked) as well as the vegetarian menu. All four of our meals were amazing! My only criticism is that the menus are not available online, so people will not know about the great options they have. The man serving us was very friendly and gave the dogs some treats. There were no baby changing facilities but they kindly let me use one of the hotel rooms. Great place, thoroughly recommended, and we will be back again soon!

We called in here by chance for lunch when we were in the area. It was a Friday and there was a wedding party in progress. However we received our meals in good time and with pleasant service. The lady that took our order offered a smaller size fish and chips for my elderly mum and she thoroughly enjoyed it. There were anchovies in my delicious caesar salad - I am always disappointed when served this dish without them! So full marks for food! Its a comfortable, old inn with pleasant gardens. Would pop by again.

We were staying locally in Calcot and we stopped in for an evening meal. Lovely big beer garden with a stream running through, friendly and helpful staff. Very tasty food, good portions. Great atmosphere inside, great looking building with lots of character. Highly recommend! Thanks for the birthday cake! :)

My Niece and her newly wed husband had their wedding reception here at the Fossebridge Inn.I can honestly say that this was the very BEST wedding reception Lady Katherine and I have been to.Catering for wedding guests is not easy for an establishment and I have to say in all honesty the Fossebridge Inn excelled themselves.The food was AMAZING! Right from the word go, everything was delicious. We were greeted in the garden by a charming gentleman who served us with drinks. A glass of sparkling Prosecco, fruit juice or fresh lemonade.The start of service was late, but, that was no fault of the establishment. Hey, it happens and people have to deal with this sort of thing. However, once service was under way, the food was well worth waiting for.The cream of vegetable soup was both tasty and piping hot. There is nothing worse than luke warm soup.Roast beef and all the trimmings was next. Oh my days, what a plateful we received. The portions were very generous and everything was cooked to perfection. Again, it was piping hot and beautifully presented on the plate. Not just thrown on there and drowned with gravy. This was both elegant to look at and a joy to eat.Lemon tart with homemade ice cream and a while chocolate shard was next. A beautiful dessert both to look at and eat. My hat goes off to the Fossebridge Inn, they truly exceeded our expectations. As I mentioned before mass catering for over 50 people is not easy and yet the Fossebridge Inn managed extremely well.The staff were very professional and very diligent and were very eager to help. The whole day went like a fairytale and the Fossebridge Inn was the icing on the wedding cake. Well done to the whole team.

We went here for Sunday on a beautiful day and were able to sit outside and admire the lovely view all around. From the moment we walked in we were treated as valued customers who wanted our business . The food arrived very quickly. I had a child's portion which was the same size as I would have had at home but my husband's portion was huge although he managed to eat it all. It was well cooked and the meat was well cooked and very tender. The sweets too were delicious too. The waiting staff were very accommodating although they didn't say much but were efficient considering how busy they were. I would certainly pay it another visit.

We've had lunch here twice before and enjoyed it. We returned yesterday for the first time for 2-3 years. What a shock. Previously the place has been heaving with punters. Yesterday, almost empty on a beautiful sunny May day.The starters were fine. For main course I chose cottage pie (made to the family's special recipe .. sounds really good I thought). Well it wasn't; in fact I couldn't eat it. I had trouble finding the meat - the whole thing was bulked up with vegetables.We skipped the desserts and ordered coffee at the bar, by which time we were now on our own in the restaurant. Notwithsanding that it took 15 minutes to arrive, when it did my double expresso was lukewarm.Never again
