Ranchers Steakhouse in Stroud - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fantastic fresh food in a cosy friendly environment. A hidden gem that we are so lucky to have in our local town. Great seafood tonight.

The food!! We went for a game tasting night and it was excellent. 6 different dishes. All cooked to perfection. An absolute gem hidden in the Cotswolds. Well worth the visit.

An absolutely brilliant menu, fantastic service for a big group and not rushed to leave. Haven’t had such a good meal in a long time

Delicious Sunday lunch. Excellent portion sizes, with good variety of veg. Several vegan/vegetarian/gluten free options. Very efficient and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend for a great value, excellently cooked Sunday lunch.

I can highly recommend the Oak at Kingshill if you want a really delicious meal, in lovely surroundings, served by really competent waiting staff who are very attentive. Twice I’ve eaten here and both times the food has been amazing. The first time was fish and last time was on steak night! We shared a delicious 20oz T Bone. The next time you’re wondering where to go for food, don’t hesitate to go to the Oak!

This is definitely the best place in dursley. Never had a bad experience. Fish is always lovely. Great chef, great staff

As a couple we have just enjoyed another special dining event atThe OakatKingshill. Consistently good cooking is enhanced by regular special events. This evening’s focus was a Caribbean evening. The menu included fried salt fish,curried crab, prawn gumbo, pork ribs curry goat, jerk chicken rice and peas and corn on the cob with optional extra sides and a choice from two desserts. All at a very fair price. Many thanks to Jonathan, Becky and team.

Always excellent food and good service. Great value for money and the quality of the food is always top rate. Well done

Good service, nice food however, the wine at £21.50 was the same as the one sold in the off licence 30 yards away for £7.49 which left me feeling disappointed.

A really lovely pub and extremely friendly owners. The pubs really nicely done out inside and is clean and welcoming. We were staying in our van in the carpark which was great. Lovely walks near by.

First time in a while we have been out for Sunday lunch, and was not disappointed. As always the food was exceptional, staff friendly and helpful. So nice to see that the Oak at Kingshill continues to serve excellent quality food, despite the challenging times we all live in. Will be back soon.

We booked dinner for 1830h, going to a concert. Arrived at 1810h, just as well. We were seated straight away, the restaurant was almost empty, just a chap next to us awaiting food. Four staff buzzing about... friendly... but no one really bothered about serving us. After being given the wrong menu, we were finally able to order by 1840h. No starter, just a main. And then we waited and waited. In a way, this is good; the menu is small and all cooked fresh. But our dinner arrived at 1910h, an hour after we walked in. That's a long time, in a near empty restaurant. While we waited, we took in the decor. Battleship grey. Downlighters. A total ambience bypass reminiscent of a dentists' waiting room. At the end of the bar was an overflowing bin and two mops, in plain sight. But what about the food. Venison haunch, potato au gratin, cabbage with bacon, mashed swede. Was it worth the wait. Yes. I don't think I have ever eaten a dish better cooked. The venison - and plenty of it - perfectly timed, seared on the outside, pink within. The potato nicely moist, well flavoured. The cabbage just nutty. The swede, soft. And all attractively plated and piping hot. But then to go with this five-star meal we get salt and pepper in sachets, not even a grinder. Bizarre. I'm sure that could have been forgotten if we'd had time for a pudding. But we had to leave by 1930h, an hour twenty after we arrived. No pudding. I always have a pudding! And I didn't leave a tip. I can't remember the last time I left no tip. So, a remarkable mixture of superb cooking, dull decor and poor service. If you enjoy good food and aren't in a hurry and not bothered about the surroundings, give it try. If you are in a hurry there are three takeaways 100 yds away.

Had Sunday lunch with a large group of friends. There was another large group at the same time. The meal sizes were enormous . The service excellent . Had a great time

Very friendly and helpful hosts helped me plan a surprise party. The room was warm and excellent for our party. We decorated the room with bunting and balloons it looked fab. The banquet of hot food with salads and side dishes was really excellent. Family and friends were impressed by the quality and the quantity of food. The cocktail jugs went down very well too. Big thanks to Becky and Jon and their staff too who looked after us very well.

The roast was excellent yesterday at The Oak, even though we arrived at 2.30! . Cooked fresh and with love! Succulent meat, tasty veg and fantastic roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Friendly staff too. Definitely the best pub roast we've eaten in a long time. The other food on the menu looked excellent too. We'll definitely be back!

Just discovered the Oak. Cheerful and friendly serving staff, really good food. Good value. Look forward to coming back often

Very good Sunday lunch here today. They kindly squeezed us in, short notice. Lovely buzzing vibe with very efficient staff. The roast pork was really good served with a great selection of home cooked veg. Nice to be back.

This is undoubtedly the best place for food in Dursley. From an old run down local pub this place has now grown into the place to come for quality food. Every mouth full of food I have had here has been excellent bursting with flavour...

Another outstanding meal at The Oak today, 10 out of 10 all round. Today was especially wonderful as we were treated to some ‘not yet on the menu’ delights. The owners and staff are always welcoming, friendly to all of us including kids. Can’t rate...

Excellent food - brown crab mousse, Ham hock terrine, Cornish sole, Hake etc. The standard of cookery and presentation is what you would expect at the very best of gastropubs and is better than the well known fish restaurant a few miles away. This restaurant...

Best Sunday lunch for miles! Very friendly, lovely restaurant, can’t fault at all very family friendly and a lovely play area outside

Several friends had recommended so we decided to go for lunch. Food was excellent. Starters of Filo prawns and monk fish tails. Mains Lamb and Hake. All very tasty. Recommend

Found this place at the last minute on the way back from a day out. Was really impressed with Covid measures and staff wearing masks. Food was delicious and excellent service.

Tried this place recently for the first time. Had seen some nice things on a menu online but unfortunately they change it regularly which meant those things weren’t on it. So there was only one thing we felt we could choose (a burger.) Despite this...

Excellent service, amazing food. Definitely a hidden gem. Will definitely be returning soon. Can’t recommend highly enough

The food is top class in both taste and presentation. The menu changes regularly to take advantage of seasonal ingredients. This time I had the venison which was outstanding with one of the best sauces I have ever had. The wine list is very well...

Never disappointed here - the standard of cooking is very high; service is efficient and friendly; tables are very comfortably spaced. We had a partridge breast starter, venison main and cranachan pudding and cheese and biscuits. Given notice, the chef will prepare variations. We are...

On a friend's recommendation we booked a table for four for a meal on a Friday evening. We were not disappointed. Delicious food and an interesting and varied menu to select from, all very sensibly priced. Service very efficient and pleasant. Tables are well spaced...

Tried the OAK at Kingshill this evening for the first time since the most recent change of ownership. Upon arrival, the pub and restaurant is nice and clean with a good choice of beers. The staff are friendly and polite and seem happy to engage...

Great staff, lovely food ( perhaps a touch expensive) clean and attractive inside, small outdoor space with kids play equipment ( could do with a little attention) but all in all well worth a visit

It was an unfortunate circumstance that took my wife and I to the Oak At Kingshill but we are so glad we ventured through the door and booked a table for our evening meal. We where pleasantly surprised by the new feel the owners Jon...

Well what a transformation. Beautiful interior and great staff. A massive addition to Dursley. This is a great pub, we didn’t eat but the food looked really good.

Just had a fantastic meal at The Oak in Dursley. Service was excellent, the food was amazing and delicious. A very nice evening was enjoyed by all. Will definitely be returning very soon - will definitely recommend

Another excellent meal at the OAK. This time two of us sampled the Korean Steak and two the Roast Rack of Lamb with Dauphinoise Potatoes (best ever) followed by 4 desserts. All beautifully presented,excellent Flavours.. Would highly recommend.

The pub has been re designed and re decorated inside and looks great, very clean lines and buyable art on the walls. There is a raised terrace at the front and a secluded garden at the back and plenty of parking. The chef is very...

Lovely little lunch trip, they have spent some money doing it up inside although we chose to sit outdoors, great menu and well priced and the service was lovely. Really impressed and will visit again with the kids

Just had the most delicious lunch at The Oak. A selection of beautifully presented little dishes to share. Will return soon.

This is hands down the best Sunday Roast we've ever had out. We messaged in advance mentioning one of us had Coeliac disease and would need Gluten free. We were told not a problem. We all had the roast dinner, including a gluten free version...

Just had a super seasonal meal of venison and partridge. The food was delicious, and the crispy kale was just astonishing! Can't wait to go back.

We have been twice and each time tried different items from the menu and both times the food took a very short time to come out of the kitchen. The first time we went, my partner had the roast beef Sunday lunch which is super...

The food here is excellent. Cooked from scratch. The menu is simple but varied and very well considered. Balanced. And tastes wonderful. You can tell the chef really takes pride in his job. All covid measures are implemented well with a calm, polite approach. They...

We tried to get a table during August when the "Eat Out To Help Out" scheme was in place...however the Oak was booked up. We'd heard such great reviews of this once "locals-only" pub so decided to go on Sat 17th Oct. To say we...

Came for leaving drinks with a two friends and was amazing! Such friendly staff! I asked about the jackfruit curry but changed my mind last minute to the oak burger (which was amazing) but they brought out a taster of the curry! It was lovely!...

On first glance this looks like an ordinary local, but the food is really top class, restaurant quality, using local and seasonal ingredients at a very modest price - a few miles into the Cotswolds and you'd be paying double for this sort of fare....

It's rare I leave a review. Went for a family meal for 7. My wife is vegan which can sometimes makes things awkward. Popped in and spoke to the chef a few days before our visit: no problems he said, I always have a vegan...

Desde el exterior no parece mucho, pero por dentro está limpio y ordenado, el personal fue muy amable y servicial. El menú era un poco limitado en la elección, sin embargo, la comida era muy buena. Recién café también era muy bueno. Se admiten niños y perros, y aunque el clima no fue bueno en nuestra visita, hay una zona de juegos para niños en la parte de atrás.

Este pub ha cambiado de manos desde diciembre y tiene un nuevo menú interesante y un personal amable. El chef es muy talentoso y aunque la elección del menú es corta, la comida es excelente. La lasaña con cobertura de rarebit era muy sabrosa y la costilla de ternera estofada lenta con puré de ajo y col roja era encantadora. Buen valor también. Vale la pena una visita.

Excellent food, good prices and all homemade to order, with friendly polite and nicely attentive staff - well worth a visit and definitely one I will be going back to.

Vine con mi compañero para bebidas y comida de celebración un sábado y tuvimos una velada encantadora, ¡no puedo recomendar lo suficiente! Los nuevos propietarios Becky y Jon son excelentes anfitriones, muy amables y nos atendieron muy bien ellos y su personal. Nuestra comida estaba impecable y a tan buen precio! Creo que Jon es el jefe de cocina y nos impresionó mucho, nos encantó especialmente el delicioso chocolate y el caramelo con helado de pimienta rosa, ¡una combinación inusual pero súper deliciosa! Es realmente bueno que el menú ofrezca algo un poco diferente de lo habitual. Yo diría que esto se convertirá rápidamente en un lugar popular y ciertamente traerá algo diferente al área local. Definitivamente volveremos!

Upon entry you could tell it was a Friday evening for the locals . Once we were being served you could tell the bar staff was more interested in what the locals were saying as we had to repeat what our drinks order was a couple off times . They weren’t loud just a bit merry . Once we had been seated and gone back to order food we settled down to enjoy our evening . We ordered starter main and a kids food . All food came at once . So we had starter and main meal together . I said to the waitress and all she could say was that’s what we were given .. Looking at the kids meal we notice she was given a adults starter not a kids meal which they didn’t mined as she enjoyed or .. my complaint is it should matter what day off the week it is or if locals are in or not . Please keep your mind on the customer in hand .. all in all we enjoyed the food . Just won’t be back on a Friday .

Nicely cooked and good value food and drinks. Staff also friendly. Enjoyed the garlic chicken while partner enjoyed the 16oz steak, all good!

Comer en el Ranchhouse el sábado 15 de mayo no fue la mejor experiencia. El restaurante no está lleno, pero nos pusieron en una mesa cerca de la zona del bar. No es la mejor posición ya que el área del bar está ocupada Nos dieron los menús. El camarero no explicó 2 estaban sin gluten. La camarera vino a tomar orden de las bebidas. Solo Chardonnay disponible para vino blanco. ¡Ella ofreció otro nombre pero regresó para decir que estaba apagado! ! ! ! ! Elige algo diferente. Uno de nuestro grupo pidió tarta de queso de cabra con espárragos. La camarera tomó el pedido, pero regresó diciendo que no había tarta de queso de cabra, pero podíamos tener queso de cabra sin los adornos. Cuando se le preguntó qué pasaría con la camarera no sabía. Ordenó otra cosa con fichas extra a las 3. 00 por porción. Cuando llegó la comida, las papas fritas, como extra, se colocaron en el plato como parte de la comida, pero aún así nos cobraron los 3 extra. 00.Se repartió el menú dulce, no hubo conversación con el camarero y nadie volvió a tomar un pedido. También había un grupo de hombres que se pararon a un lado de nuestra mesa y nos dominaron mientras comíamos. No es culpa suya sino culpa del diseño. Pagamos y nos fuimos y no volveremos pronto.

It pains me to write up this review after being a loyal customer and supporter of the venue since its opening and forming friendships along the way. As the food prices are slightly above the average for the area, you would expect the quality to match which it doesn’t quite often. The breakfasts are generally good but it is hit and miss. The baguette lunches fall below expectations with the fillings tasting like Sunday leftovers, I ordered a chicken one which had gamey, chewy skin on and not nice tasting. The roast dinners were absolutely lovely some time ago but now the lamb cuts are tough with quite a bit of fat on, I cannot comment on the beef alternative. At the beginning you used to get your own vegetables and cheesy cauliflower with the roast, now you share – Therefore be sure to order your roasts separately otherwise you’ll be sharing vegetables in appose to having your own. Steak nights are rubbish in terms of deal/value: the venue discounts a few pounds and removes the sides, resulting in you ordering back those sides and spending just as much as any other night, maybe even more. Approximately two weeks I ago I sustained a fall outside the premises, as the owner witnessed the incident and expressed no concern, I returned home and rang Highways. Despite my descriptions they did not know who was responsible for the land and advised me they were going to look into it. Approximately a week later I noticed a car parked over the pothole, indicating there was a matter. I walked into the venue yesterday to receive allegations from the “hot-headed” owner that I was pulled into the pothole by a dog I was walking (the dog was on the left side of me and the pothole was to the right), that I had also been drinking and lastly my complaint was a deliberate attack. I reminded the owner that once I got up to my feet I said “that needs sorting” pointing to the pothole which he did not respond to and continued his conversation with someone else.Additionally I mentioned that I had left the premises that day to collect my daughter from school and so extremely doubt at my age I would be leaving any premises intoxicated for such an occasion, the owner’s reply was “I do not care about that.” Needless to say what I do with my life outside the venue is not his business however it does question his capability to hold an alcohol license, with such attitude.If you are visiting watch your step and perhaps ask to pay for your food at the end, to enable more recognition and compensation if appropriate.

We went for a meal in mid-May and were really impressed with the food. The quality was amazing. Everything is clearly made fresh and we couldn't find a single thing that wasn't amazing. Service was quick at the bar and we will be visiting again.

Hermoso domingo asado ayer, había más de 30 de nosotros celebrando el 16 de mi sobrina. Realmente disfrutamos deliciosos G&T en el jardín. A los niños les encantó el área de juegos y el jardín, mientras que los adultos se sentaron en una gran área de descanso disfrutando del sol. Pedimos entrantes / domingo asado y budín todo estaba delicioso y el personal realmente nos cuidó. Este es mi segundo Sunday Roast en Ranchers lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Tried Ranchers for the first time this week. We were very impressed with the quality of the steaks. The children's menu was excellent value. The garden was an added bonus for our grandsons. The staff were excellent, very cheerful and efficient. Went again last night. Good quality food again. Only downside for me was the volume of the music. Another customer did ask for it to be turned down and the staff did it immediately. Definitely an asset to Dursley.

This place has had a chequered past and has been in multiple ownership for several years . It was sold by the brewery nearly a year ago . After a shaky start , it now has a great value for money menu with very good food in nice surroundings . There is still some renovation work going on and you must check out the tree carvings in the garden . From a pub with a bad rep , it is transformed in to a great pub restaurant that I am happy to frequent .

Was just looking for some pub food on a Sat eve and the locals only serve till lunchtime. We found this place and enjoyed the amazing value starter and a main for £10 each! This was washed down with a few pints of BOB.

We took my dad out for a steak , I had fillet, hubby had rib eye and my dad had T-bone. It was lovely. cooked perfectly. lush chips. followed by a lovely dessert and floater coffee. lovely and clean place, great service. will return

Very busy and still got served quickly. The food was really nice and even extra gravy, couldn't fault the food, service or beer. Great price too, nice friendly, family pub, would recommend booking for Sunday lunch.

My wife and I paid a visit to the Ranchers Steakhouse to celebrate Valentines day the service and quality of the food was superb..

Lovely clean, nicely furnished restaurant. We had a 1.30 p.m. booking for 6, one of which was vegan and one a child. All were well catered for and enjoyed our meal and wine. A jug of water was on the table without having to ask. The service was really good, we were not rushed. We felt very relaxed and had a lovely family meal.

Went there yesterday for a meal. Asked owner if he could delay putting on rugby until we had finished eating. His response was a disgrace- poor customer service.

Googled "best steakhouse in Gloucestershire" and this place came up second on the list. The first was already fully booked so decided to try it out. Unfortunately, if it's true, that's a pretty sorry recommendation for Gloucesterhire steakhouses. The service was fine, the starters were ok, the steak itself was a little chewy even for rump, but the biggest faux pas was that they seem to have a chef who does not know how to cook it. For an establishment marketing itself as a steakhouse that's a pretty basic requirement. Asked for medium rare, it came out blue. Sent it back, stressing again I wanted MR, and it came back still very rare I.e. raw across 3/4 of its thickness and pink at the edges. They did knock it off the bill and were very apologetic, but I would much rather have paid for it and enjoyed my meal !

Caught up with some favourite dog walking friends for a New Year breakfast at Ranchers, fantastic food, Eggs Benedict's and a full English, all good quality, full of flavour, nicely presented by friendly and cheery staff, even the dogs enjoyed it - and were welcomed. Very well located within a good area for local shopping. Keep promising to return for a Sunday lunch and an evening meal. Great value, good quality produce, great local! Try it!

Good pub food selection, menu is interesting and food is tasty. Local beers on tap. Kind waitresses .

Because we were due to go on holiday later in the afternoon we decided to have lunch at this pub (Sunday jan 6th). It was our second meal here. We were not disappointed. Lovely atmosphere, good food and good service and good choice of beers and other drinks. Well worth supporting this venture. Use it or lose it!

Fabulous food and atmosphere Ranchers. My family and I went for lunch as a pre Christmas celebration and we were really looked after. We all had steaks that were all cooked to perfection and so tasty . We all really enjoyed our food and wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Bar staff very knowledgeable too when talking about gin! Looking forward to going back.

We visited the Ranch House on 28/12/18. Expected it to be quite post Christmas but we were the only people eating there that evening so it did lack atmosphere. The menu choice was okay, average pub food. The meal we chose was nicely presented and very tasty but a little overpriced. The staff were very pleasant but the evening was mostly ruined by the loud drunken behaviour in the bar which continued for the whole time we were there.

I went to Ranchers for the first time on Saturday 22nd December for a pre christmas get together. There were 9 of us and we all had different cooked breakfasts and hot drinks. Our orders were taken efficiently and all our breakfasts were brought out to us quickly, hot and very tasty! The coffee is barista standard and the atmosphere was lovely and festive! I also thought it was great value for money.

Visited this restaurant to taste their breakfast, the service was very poor, the waitress took our order from behind the bar as she could not be bothered to come to our table. The food arrived hot but the order was wrong, fried bread instead of toast, no black pudding and they even charged us full price despite getting it wrong. Not a great visit will clearly not be using this place again for breakfast in the future.

Visited with family and greeted by a wonderful lady. When food came, the rate of the food I think is very excellent.

Visited with my dad, booked a table before we arrived. A lovely friendly member of staff greeted and sat us at our table. Looking at the menu we chose the 2 x 8oz rump steaks with a bottle of wine for £25. The steak arrived promptly, both steaks were incredibly tender one ordered as rare and the other medium. Generous portions with the chips, stilton sauce was fantastic! Would highly recommend a visit, we will be returning!!

Staff were friendly. Good value lunchtime specials board, 2 courses for £10, but only 3 choices each for starter and main - choices were average, mostly deep fried pub grub. Main menu - high prices for average food, I had 2 courses and it came to a whopping £22.50! Starter of griddled vegetables was underwhelming - only a few pieces of veg, on a limp half a bread roll and an undercooked poached egg for £5.50. Steak was very chewy, onion rings were not nice, chips were bog standard. Despite being lunchtime, some people were quite rowdy and so it wasn't very relaxing. Disappointing.

My fiancé and I went for a couples meal to celebrate our anniversary.

Stopped with family for lunch. Food portions terrific and really good tastes. Everyone was happy with the food and service. Well done

Family had a great lunch here with huge, fresh, homemade portions. So many options to choose from with ample fillings for potatoes or sandwiches. Service was attentive and atmosphere was relaxing. There were clear set areas for drinkers with their pets too, nowhere near food tables.

What an accommodating place to dine! They dealt with our multiple allergies perfectly and even made a completely custom, off-menu salad for me which was delicious. Prices are very reasonable and all of the food was high quality and delicious. We will be regulars now!

Had the chance to stop by for breakfast and see some of all the hard work which has been taking place here. Cheery and friendly greeting in nicely refurbished surroundings. Tempting Gin bar!, spotless & pleasant interior. Breakfast was great, very good quality sausages, perfectly cooked & excellent value - just what this area needs - a friendly local serving great food at sensible prices. Looking forward to an evening meal here. Decent food, nice staff, great value. Fascinating wood carving underway at rear - kids will love it .Good luck & thanks for having faith in this community.

Very impressed with the newly opened Restaurant. My roast beef was perfection,all the food was so tasty. The rest of my family thoroughly enjoyed their meals too. The service was prompt and friendly. Really really helpful staff and Dogs are welcome in the lounge area which is a bonus. I would highly recommend.

We've just been for breakfast at the newly refurbished ranchers steakhouse and were very impressed. Friendly and prompt service, great food and lovely fresh decor. Well definitely be back and looking forward to trying the Sunday roast and evening menu - not today though as the breakfast was very generous so we're still full!

We needed a meal after being delayed at the local hospital so decided to have lunch at this newly refurbished which was previously The King’s Hill.

Visited for lunch on Sunday 19.08.18. Never been for a meal here before since new ownership. Was very clean (as was tables and cutlery!) and staff were welcoming. There was a number of choices for Sunday Roast (Chicken, Pork and Beef (and a vegetarian option)). I had chicken and the rest of the family had beef. Served piping hot with lots of vegetables and extra gravy and was all really tasty and well cooked. Table service was great and nothing was too much trouble for our waitress. Went with our children and portions were generous for their meals too. Well priced at £8.95 for adults and £5 for children.
