The Hog at Horsley in Stroud - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Nice country village pub, basic well cooked food with lovely staff.

We recently went for the first time since having our baby for one of the pop up nights. We asked for a high chair and they said we could find one outside. They were honestly awful - clearly left outside to the elements, they were filthy and old and none of them matched so they were clearly an after thought. Ikea high chairs are so cheap - how difficult is it to have a few on hand and kept inside for guests with young children? We had to leave, I wouldn’t put my baby in one of those. Such a shame, especially as they have a kids menu so clearly market themselves as being family friendly.

Beautiful pub in the middle of the countryside!! Food, atmosphere and staff are awsome🙏🏽💃

Came in for dinner whilst camping up the road and having this place recommended to us. It didn't disappoint. It's a proper local as local pubs used to be. The staff are lovely. Food was delicious (particularly the fresh pizzas) and came out quickly. Prices were quite cheap for fresh food in a pub (two mains with drinks came to £30). Although we didn't use them, there were a selection of board games up on the shelf which was a nice touch. Toilets were clean. The pub is also handily situated next to a small free car park. If I were a local I'd be in here all the time.

Lovely old pub, friendly staff, great ales

Fabulous in all regards. Happy Face

Brilliant local pub. We were visiting family in the village and this place was great for a few drinks and plenty of space, with a friendly welcoming atmosphere.

Absolutely awesome gem of a pub. Cosy, friendly atmosphere, delicious Wood-fired pizza, Luke and Christian are welcoming and attentive, loads of board games to play, super range of drinks, and really good prices. 100% would recommend The Hog.

Decent selection of tap lagers and awesome rotation of food vans

Stopped in for a quick drink. Fun place!

Vicki, Christian and Luke were absolutely amazing behind the bar! Vicki especially was outstanding, went above and beyond for us, would absolutely recommend the Hog! Ask for Vicki behind the bar!

Having completed a circular walk that started and ended in Horsley, we thought we would pop into the local hostelry as a reward at the end of our travails. And what a joy it was! The welcome was friendly, the Moretti was cold, and the (assumed) regulars seemed to be chatty and sociable. We started in the garden but then rain threatened (wrongly, as it turned out) so we took our second drink inside: a lovely choice of places to sit, some very "loungey"; we picked a table by the window where we found a huge array of box games to select and play! We will most definitely be returning to this place, not least because we now have four stamps on our loyalty card towards a free pizza or pint!

Great country pub that welcomes dogs! Had a delicious Thai meal from the pop up restaurant that night. Friendly staff and good selection of board games too, making you feel welcome to hang out. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Staying in horsley for a week and wow do we love the pub. The themed food nights are fantastic. Really loved it. The service was brilliant. Such great staff to us "out of towners". A lovely local feel and vibe but also an "everyone welcome" feel too. Really would recommend and wish this was our local!

Nice place for a drink, food was okay. Either pizza or burger/hotdog

It was a last minute booking , and I'm glad we picked the Hog . Set in such a cute village in stunning country side . Room was spacious and clean , with great thought to small details . Service in the bar was friendly and helpfull and very accommodating.

Good people and service here in a dreamy location, ideal for a walk into the beautiful valley. Try the pop up kitchen nights!

Always an enjoyable visit. So many different events and bits on throughout the month too. Food is always fantastic!

Nice vibe but food was awful. Pizza burnt to a crisp. We were given no cutlery or serviettes. Chicken burger was so-so. Go for drinks only

Wow what a beautiful little pub. We came upon it accidentally. Will definitely be going back. Fab bar man, polite and friendly pub. Loved it. Thank you

Great relaxed pub. Variety of events hosted and friendly staff and customers

Awesome pub, good selection of drinks. Enjoyed darts and music night!

Wonderful local village pub, in my opinion exactly what a local village pub should be. Basic yet delicious bar food that you don’t need to get on a month long waiting list to enjoy and a genuinely warm, friendly and relaxing atmosphere 🤩

Great friendly pub with a fantastic selection of well kept ales ! Home made pizza. The best. The monthly pub quiz is a must !

Lovely pub, friendly staff and beautifully decorated interior.

A clean tidy warm welcoming pub selling well kept beers.

Lovely atmospheric village pub, perfect...not much food choice at the mo, but hey, it's a pub...

Good atmosphere and a great team running the pub. Have missed it during lockdown.

Wonderful pub defo worth a visit

The best local you could ask for. Super friendly pub with loads of different activities/ themes through the week. Family- run comes with a big welcome and huge soul. Extremely reasonable prices. Food is unpretentious and filling. On different days you might find yourself at a quiz night, board games, pop up restaurants, live bands and jam nights or just a good chat with the locals. Highly recommended

Limited food, however lovely staff and great atmosphere.

We have always driven pass but on this drive by, we decided to stop. Great food and service is great, recommend.

Good atmosphere and friendly staff. A Selection of beers on tap and food menu to cover all tastes. Extensive outside seating area For a relaxing time in a great village pub.

From my 5 year old son.... " If I had 10,000 thumbs, I would put them all up"

I don’t often write reviews but The Hog is such a fantastic pub, it had to be done! We went in yesterday evening (our first visit) and were well impressed. I’m into my beers and there was great selection of well kept real ales and craft beer (only 3 stamps to go on my loyalty card so will be back soon for the free pizza 😋), the staff were all really friendly and a nice atmosphere too. Affordable food (a rare thing in pubs now) and what we had was spot on (chips topped with chilli and humous with flatbread). Lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the sun (or shade) and we also enjoyed the tunes inside as it was vinyl night. It’s a really nice walk to/from Nailsworth (via Ruskin Mill area) which was another bonus. In summary, it’s a must visit pub and we will be back!

First visit for a long time, inside I liked the new layout. Landlord very friendly and approachable, beer very good, prices excellent. We will be back again soon. Loyalty card 10 beers entitles you to a free pizza.

Brilliant night. Really enjoyed it. Very Happy and friendly pub.

In my final weeks living in the Cirencester area, my girlfriend and I decided to travel around to places that we had never been locally as well as re-visiting areas we knew well but had not properly exploded. The village of Horsley in the Stroud area was a new exploration (although we had been in and around Stroud many times before). Given that the village and my girlfriend share the same surname it was a must. During our travels around the Cotswolds, we have visited plenty of pubs, cafes, and eateries. Many of these are perhaps best left for those who frequent and enjoy them so much - the locals. Indeed many are somewhat unfriendly to a stranger’s face we have found; while we find this most amusing knowing that our meer fresh-faced company is a curse, it does not inspire one to return. The Hog at Horsley is not one of these establishments. Indeed, it is the friendliest place of hospitality that we visited along our jaunts, being cheerfully welcomed and not stared down by suspicious locals, although many locals were in on this rainy Sunday afternoon, as we could tell by the fact the barman seemingly knew them all by name - a delight in today’s society of strangers. We drank cider and ate from what, although somewhat limited, is a very modern, well presented, refreshingly simple, hearty, and filling menu. We would have left wanting for me if we weren’t so full from sharing a pizza and some vegetarian chilli chips (sadly the meat option wasn’t available, as we were kindly informed before ordering - but were told there was plenty of the vegetarian option. It suited us fine). I have rated the Hog at Horsley four stars, only for the reason that I personally find it a shame not to get a proper Sunday lunch in an English pub on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Although the Hog offers meaty rolls as a substitute for their inability (or perhaps unashamed unwillingness) there were none left by the time we arrived and ordered food. Despite this, the food we had was first class and filling, without much waste. It was flavourful and well cooked, and you felt that you received value for money. The cider we drank was refreshing after our day walking around the Cotswolds in the rain and we could have easily drank a lot more of it. We look forward to returning to the Hog at Horsley again one day, where we hope we will not be too late to grab ourselves a meaty Sunday roll. The pub is vibrant, modern, family friendly, and there was a real sense of community atmosphere when we visited. We highly recommend, and have few doubts that had we been able to have a proper Sunday lunch (or meaty roll - they advertise quite clearly they do not serve a full roast dinner) that we would have rated it five stars.

Was driving past and stoped for a bite to eat. Although if the menu wasn’t huge the food was very well prepared and very good value for money. In some ways it’s lucky we don’t live near as the wife would have to drag me out most days. The staff were very friendly and welcoming

Staff and other Patrons very friendly lovely atmosphere.

What delicious food and beer. The bar staff was funny and friendly. The food was plentiful. It is a lovely pub with great outdoor and indoor options.

Great local pub with lovely food and lots going on!

What an amazing village pub, as people not from the area as visiting for the horse racing we were made to feel very welcome. During our week in the area we visited three times and just love the environment of the pub featuring great background music. The food was great the small menu allows for the food to be cooked fresh and taste great. The hog pizza was my person favourite. The quiz night held once a month was so fun with the owner taking up the mic and being our jolly quiz master. The pub is just a short walk from the air BnB / house we had rented and I recommend anyone who visits the area to come to this great pub. Thank you to all the staff for making our week so lovely.

Warm welcome from Sara Luke Christian enjoyed couple nights good homemade food and a great sing-along moving back to gloustershire soon so looking forward to seeing them all 'jude &alex

We were staying at an Air BNB down in Washpool, literally down the hill. On arrival we thought we'd check out the local pubs, on arrival Luke and Christian made us feel so welcome. A great locals pub, but they make holidayers feel local, and very welcome too. We were in the area for 3 days and visited the pub each day. It's warm and welcoming, reasonably priced and the food is what you need when you're in for a couple or spending the day watching rugby. They had a great set up for the 6 nations (but if sport isn't your thing it didn't dominate either), family friendly, dog friendly and just the kindest guys. We'll be back (if you'll have us...)!

Small ambient pub in the lovely village of Horsley. Really cosy, well kept and something for everyone (books for children, 6 nations on etc). Sizeable beer garden for when the weather improves. Small snack type menu but it’s what we were expecting as per website. Everything was tasty and cooked well, I had the ham, brie and chilli jam pizza. Really friendly staff. Impeccably clean toilets (odd thing to note but always reassuring to see !). They do pop up nights for different foods, I believe their kitchen is very small so it’s lovely to see them offer some variety etc given constraints.

Fabulous lunch for a large family gathering. The chef also went to loads of special extra effort for my son who has a dairy allergy. He was thrilled. Atmosphere and staff brilliant. Would highly recommend. Thank you :-)

We are French and were in holidays in the Cotswold with friends. Our daughter celebrated her 9th birthday there. Our host had the kindness to find her a candle for her birthday cake. When he served her, how huge was the surprise for her to have the whole pub, including the musicians, singing «Happy birthday »!! BEST BIRTHDAY EVER! (In her own words). Everything was perfect, from both for children and adults.

Took my daughter to our local pub for a drink and bar snack. Pub atmosphere was perfect, felt really cosy and warm. The cheesy chips were delicious. Would highly recommend.

Called in after the village fete for a quick one, great service...First pint changed without question when I returned it after a quick swig, it wasn't to my liking but the replacement was excellent. Booked a table for the evening and ate lovely fish and chips whist listening to live music in the garden. Great atmosphere, great food and drink, great service.

What a lovely find this pub was in the village of Horsley. We stayed in the local area to visit the Cotswolds. We visited this pub most nights as it had a good atmosphere, the staff were great and really personable as were the locals. We enjoyed the Jam and bingo night. The food was good too, great pizzas at such a good price in comparison with other pizzerias. If your in the area of Horsley I would definitely recommend visiting this pub, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks guys for making us feel so welcome. We will be back 😀

Lovely pub , very friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, so you can imagine my disappointment at lack of FRESH food , we ordered two meals with additional sides and everything was cooked from frozen , the guacamole was from a jar ( tasted to dry to be homemade) the scampi was so small I looked like a child’s meal , PLEASE PLEASE rethink the menus it was so small you could at least cook from fresh even Peel a potato for chips would be a start and grate your own cheese as buying pre grated cheese it was so dry not moist as cheese should be ,

This is an excellent local pub, most especially since being taken over by new owners in 2020. Good & varied food, friendly service, attractive inside & outside eating areas, dog friendly. Vegetarians & vegans always catered for too. Occasional live music which is great. Lockdown...

We are staying locally for a few days and found The Hog after it being mentioned on Facebook so decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised how lucky we were to have such a well presented, welcoming, friendly pub on our doorstep!...

Visitamos The Hog en nuestro viaje en bicicleta desde Cardiff a Cheltenham y, cuando llegamos, necesitábamos sustento después de toda la escalada en los Cotswolds. No nos decepcionó. Recibidas por jóvenes cálidas, amables y encantadoras que nos hicieron sentir como en casa de inmediato. El menú tiene algunas opciones muy interesantes, como el frío de venado, el hinojo y el pato ahumado (mi compañero tenía esto y me encantó). Me decidí por el pollo hecho en casa más mundano, Kiev, pero estaba hecho maravillosamente, un gran pecho suculento cubierto por una capa crujiente con una sabrosa salsa de ajo dentro. Servido con sabrosas papas fritas y judías verdes (creo que con trozos de tocino) fue, en mi opinión, una ganga a los 13. Para mí, la guinda del pastel fue ver el póster de la banda Stiff Little Fingers en el inodoro. Cuando le pregunté a la señora que dirige el lugar por qué lo tenían allí arriba, dijo: "¿A quién no le gustan los dedos pequeños y rígidos?". Muy contenta de haber parado allí.

I work away from home 4 nights a week.. I have stayed at various hotels throughout the past 15 months.. The Hog was the closet I felt to being at home. For me it was quiet, and also convenient to pop down to the bar for a nice pint, lovely food and to relax at the bar.My room was comfortable and cozy & I slept like a log. That’s all I need.. so kudos to The Hog

Simply loved the hog!! As a former pub operator I can appreciate a great pub. The good people at the Hog nail it. Highly recommend and enjoy one of their superb specials

Friendly, willing staff but below standard on....time to take orders, space...cramped next to neighbouring table, poorly kept ale, disappointing food.Staff respond well and without fuss to issues raised but there are too many basic things that are not up to scratch. Never know what to expect here so won't be back in a hurry.

Came here to meet an old business friend and was sold on the reviews but have to say we found the meal very disappointing. Service and welcome was very friendly and can’t fault it but the fish and chips we had felt a bit catering pack to be honest - especially given reviews we’d read. Maybe we came on an off day but it wasn’t the best.

We booked the Hog for Valentines night as they'd been advertising a special evening on Facebook. We duly arrived and found our table and there begins our story.

This was our first visit to the hog, and we were very impressed with the very warm welcome that we received. It’s Also very nice to see the chef working on our meal .

A visit pre booked and pre ordered for Sunday lunch... Lunch was served approx. 1 1/2 hours late with with a shortage of basics like roast potatoes (and some of that did make serving were so over cooked that parts were not edible).

After a busy Sunday morning we decided to seek a late Sunday lunch.

We are not local but needed a quick lunch whilst in the area and stopped at the Hog. We were warmly greeted at the bar and told the wait would be about 10 mins which it was. The place wasn't overly busy for a Friday lunchtime but steady trade with diners.

Saludo amistoso a la mesa reservado con antelación. El menú tenía algunas alternativas interesantes, pero todos estábamos de humor para los asados ​​del domingo. Tenían carne de cerdo y cordero en oferta y entre nosotros probamos todos ellos. Todos disfrutamos la carne y me gustaron especialmente las zanahorias de varios colores. Pensé que el pudín de Yorkshire parecía un poco cocinado, pero en realidad sabía maravilloso. Yo comi el lote La mesa para cuatro era de buen tamaño (otros restaurantes a menudo tienen mesas pequeñas). Todos pasamos una buena tarde.

Desde el momento en que ingresas hasta el momento en que te vas, es feliz. El personal es as, servicial y fresco. El cerdo sirve cervezas locales increíbles y combina eso con el chef Dave, que tiene un toque divino en la comida. Tuvimos un asado de carne y fue sin duda uno de los mejores que he tenido.

This pub is a must! Excellent food and a warm welcome. Very beautiful location with a good circular walk printed and ready on the bar. Thank you.

Ocupado pub con amplio menú de almuerzo de domingo Buen nivel de servicio atento. El rango medio de precios de la carne asada fue uno de estos modales modernos, todo en el medio del concepto de plato. Por mi parte, esto disfrazó el hecho de que el cordero que había elegido era una porción exigua, mientras que la persona que estaba a mi lado en la mesa tenía mucha carne. El cordero no era demasiado sabroso, ya que estaba saturado por los sabores de todo lo demás. Los postres a las 7 cada uno parecían un poco caros para un pub, a la par con algunos restaurantes de Londres. No hay rastro de los propietarios presentes cuando voy aquí.

Como grupo decidimos volver a visitar el Hog para la prueba del pub. El personal es excelente y amable, pero parece que todo no cuenta para nada, pagas 13 por lo que crees que será la hamburguesa gourmet más increíble, y resulta seca y los chips grasientos como el infierno. Te sientes robado francamente. Esta fue la segunda mala comida aquí, y creo que necesitan dar un paso atrás y reconsiderar su nivel de cocción y precios, porque lamentablemente la comida no es tan buena como consideran que es. JD Wetherspoons hace un mejor trabajo con su hamburguesa gourmet, que es mucho más barata. ¡Ciertamente podría competir con su chef cualquier día, y francamente preferiría quedarme si el estándar de cocina va a ser más bajo que el mío!

We decided to go out for a meal on my wife's birthday and invited our teenage granddaughter. This seemed like a good idea for a social occasion so we then invited two of our children and partners plus two grandsons. Our other daughter has been in Australia for twenty odd years so we took her photograph along to adorn the table! We rang the Hog several times gradually increasing the numbers from two initially, then three, then five and eventually nine. Each time we rang we were greeted by a cheerful member of staff who assured us that it was no trouble. A few hours before we left, they rang to say that due to a hitch over the August Bank Holiday, they could not serve alcohol on that evening as their licence had not come through in time but we could bring our own and corkage would cost nothing. When we got there, the atmosphere was buzzing as always and everyone there was enjoying their meals. We had a selection of dishes from the always excellent menu and everyone was very happy. You always feel happy in the Hog because of the friendly service and welcome. The various excellent dishes on the menu and specials board are always beautifully presented and extremely tasty. Our choices ranged from fish dishes, pork belly, burgers and chicken all of which were very good, We had a wonderful birthday party..

Delicious Sunday lunch! Could not fault it. Great place to relax and enjoy great food. Loved the quirkiness of the place. Staff friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend.

We ate here as it was the pub closest to our airbnb getaway. I brought my other half away for his birthday and was a bit worried when I read some of the reviews....I should not have worried! Not only were the staff lovely and welcoming, there were 4 very tempting vegetarian options! The 2 we picked were extremely tasty and the portions were huge! Extremely happy with our experience and feel bad I have left it this long to write the review given the bad reviews I had read... thank you to the chef and the staff at the Hog. You made the birthday get-away even more special!!!

It was one of those occasions when we were too tired to cook for ourselves and wanted a simple, wholesome meal out. We both ordered hake and it was delicious. The beer was good too. Not much more to say really

We had a family lunch on Sunday sitting in the sunshine outside. The pub was full of walkers and locals and the new menu worked well for us: fish pie with a runny poached egg on the side was best choice. Decent selection of beer

Great lunch had by all. Homemade chicken Kiev was delicious, fish pie with lots of varieties of fish and s perfect poached egg and the haloumi salad didn’t skimp. Garden was a sun trap and all the staff were lovely. Definitely recommend this pub.

Went with my partner and 2 children, some time ago now, but it seems that they haven’t got any better. My daughter, who is vegetarian, found bacon in her vegetable soup, and they didn’t believe us until they took it away and looked at it themselves. They then said we could have free coffee and a liqueur! Not surprisingly my daughter refused liqueur! And were very worried about our comments on trip advisor!! But no real apology. Very poor attitude.

I had heard good reportsabout this restaurant but was very disapoointed with our experience.

I stayed 2 nights in one of The Hog's' 2 B&B; rooms. My room was larger than expected with a clean, modern look and a spacious en-suite. The room opened onto a Juliet balcony that overlooked the neighbouring churchyard that made eating the supplied continental breakfasts a morning treat as I eased into the day. I only had one meal in the restaurant below, the Hog Burger, which was very good. The local craft brews were also very well received.

A friendly evening with good food. We enjoyed the breadth of vegetarian options. Halloumi starter was delicious, and the fish pie was very good if the side greens could be served hotter. The fish and chips good as ever with homemade tartare sauce. Friendly management gave us a warm welcome.

We were directed here by our origional booking as their chef had gone off sick, wish we had made our own decision. It was fairly busy on arrival but not so much that a well run establishment could cope with. The staff are young and felt they were new to their job, they did not know the table numbers so our bill at the end had to be examined and items taken off that we did not order. They had run out of one type of beer which took then 20mins to let us know, the bottle of wine we ordered took half an hour to arrive at our table and was warm and not come from a chilled cabinet and we had to ask for ice to chill it. After taking our order it took a while for the waitress to come back to us to say one of the starters was not available. When the food did arrive it was ok but served on a plate in a way that it was not ie: poached egg with the fish pie and the belly pork was served with "Raita" which was a strange combination and pimping the plates to make it something it was not. My sister in-law had the Greek salad and felt it was a bit gritty and the lettuce had not been washed properly. The menu was photocopied which is ok but a bit crumpled and marks on it from too many looking at it and did not feel very hygienic. Not much to choose from on the menu so what you order should be available. The Manager needs to get a grip on running the pub in many aspects or the village could loose this facility.

Friendly, young staff.Pleasing venue.

Nice enough interior if they'd tidied it a bit. Service friendly. Smell of fat from kitchen area quite noticeable. Forty minute wait was acceptable as food freshly cooked... unfortunately standard of meal wasn't that great. Good tastes but way too greasy, although to be fair it was a chicken Kiev, but the butter filling was all over fries and beans. Neither of us finished it and now feel a bit sick. A real shame because it could be so good.

Again given this place the benefit of the doubt, but it disappoints. One of our locals and used to be so good, but sadly last 2 trips have been pretty poor with poor menu selection and really awful food. Never eat the cous cous as its like wallpaper paste, the chips are from a plastic bag, and the service is surly. I am giving up on this place and recommend others do too until it bucks its ideas up. Expensive for what is is... And that's not great!

After originally booking for somewhere else we were then given the option of The Hog with a cocktail thrown in as a way of an apology for the mis hap... We clearly got too excited too quickly. We were asked to pre order which was perfectly understandable as we were a group of 14... Arrived and sat outside which was lovely. Table booked for 7.30pm and all pre orders had been received. So by the time 9pm came we were all getting a little bit hungry and had gone up a few times to ask where the starters were. The other big table had apparently pre ordered also and had booked first so they got their food first (we hadn't by that point received an apology or a proper explanation by the lady who was serving us) so starters came out albeit missing a few items off the platters which we then again had to ask for. Mains started coming out and the starter dishes were still on the table... I thought I had ordered a chickpea curry but had infact ordered the most expensive chickpea in tinned tomatoes I'd ever eaten the only saving grace was the aubergine!!! Glad I didn't order the £21 steak that was over cooked and had to be sent back!! I felt sorry for the waiting staff and the poor guy trying to do the cocktails. What let the pub down was the management, rudeness and the food. Lack of communication and lack of an apology. Luckily the bride to be was still smiling.

We recently visited as a party of 14. Gladly pre-ordering our food as there was so many of us. On arrival our seating was set for 12, despite confirming the 14 more than once. This was corrected. Our food was due to come out at 7.30. We finally got our starters of breads and cold meats at around 9.05.

A group of 14 of us recently visited the Hog for a meal during my Hen weekend in the area. I should point out it wasn't our first choice in location but the venue we'd booked closed for refurbishment at short notice and the manager kindly booked us a table at the Hog which she also owned and offered to send over the mixologist to make us some cocktails too.

Disappointing meal, as part of a large group. Poor customer service, mediocre food. I expected more from them, given that we were a pre-booked group and we had pre-ordered our food. We had to wait an hour and a half for starters to arrive, and even then they got some wrong. The place looks nice but it appeared that they just couldn't cope with more than one meal at a time and had absolutely no idea about customer service. Will not be returning.
