The Horseshoe Inn in Stratford-on-Avon

Lovely friendly and cosy pub. Great selection of meals and beer, all fairly priced. Easily my favourite pub in Shipston.

Stopped in on a whim while I was waiting for a bus. Excellent food. Sandwich was perfect and chips were hot and delicious. Also a great beer selection for a small pub.

The Horseshoe is a striking venue, on the Shipston central road. They serve traditional British pub fare, cooked well. Mozzarella sticks, barbecue chicken, ham, egg and chips. Quiet in the restaurant, but busy in the bar. The Wye Valley IPA ale was good, but it's a shame there is no local Cotswolds beer on tap, as there are so many local breweries.

Had one night in Shipston and after reading reviews gave this pub a visit and pleased we did Hand pulled ale very tasty and fish platter very filling. Well worth a visit

Fantastic pub with great food and reasonably priced. Landlady polite and welcoming. Food was delicious and great sized portions. Will definitely return.

Popped in to this pub while paying a recent visit to Shipston-On-Sour and so glad we did. The landlady was extremely pleasant and really made us feel welcome. The food was lovely traditional pub grub and the chips were to die for. The landlady even brought an extra bowl of peas for our friends dog! (he has weird tastes! :). Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Had a great night at The Horseshoe. There was a band on, who were brilliant. We had lunch and dinner at the pub. Great meals, lots of very tasty food, all four of us enjoyed our meals. Our hosts Andy and Jacqui couldn't do enough for us. All the staff were friendly and accomadating. Lovely cosy pub with a fire and cosy nooks.

Had a fantastic evening here. Met lovely friendly staff and a delicious evening meal. Catered for my mother who is coeliac without batting an eyelid. Sadly Mum was unable to have the onion rings as they are cooked in the same frier as non gluten free options so an amendment needed on the menu but the staff came out to check which was great. I had the cajun chicken which was delicious and a huge portion, my mum had the sweet chilli chicken which she thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to all for your great company, and service.

We were visiting for the weekend and visited to watch the England game. Very well set out and managed. Lovely inside and friendly staff and locals. Really enjoyed the evening.

This pub has a great little beer garden, smart and sheltered. The staff and locals are really friendly. Well worth a visit.

I stumbled across The Horseshoe today, as was visiting a near by shop and I’m glad I did. On entering were greeted by friendly staff and we were instantly made to feel welcome and comfortable. Great menu and a specials board to tantalise your tastebuds, even more and saw they are doing offers on certain days of the week. Like Burger and Pint. The food and quality was outstanding, fresh and clean plates all round. Even managed to squeeze in some chocolate cake😜 The landlord informed us he had only taken the pub on 2 weeks ago. It’s clean, friendly, excellent food, child & dog friendly and Covid safe. We will be back very soon.

Visited with family. Very COVID friendly. Food was lovely and staff are so friendly, felt very welcome! It's dog friendly, my doggo enjoyed relaxing by the fire. Would highly recommend a visit here.

Visited the Horseshoe, had a great meal, menu good pub food. Under new management and found a friendly atmosphere and staff attentive, due to Covid-19 table service only, didn’t need to wait too long. COVID-19 measures within premises made you feel safe to eat out.

Went for a couple of drinks there with my partner. It seemed like they had changed management very recently and we were very Impressed. Really friendly and helpful staff, they even moved us to a new table when they noticed the sun was in my eyes which was going the extra mile. We didn’t eat but saw another table getting fish and chips and it looked delicious abc good portion size! Would definitely recommend.

This pub has a nice atmosphere and has a car park at the back. We booked for Sunday lunch which is a buffet with a choice of roast beef, slow cooked beef or roast pork. We felt we got the tail end of the meat....a couple of small slices were served. We helped ourselves to vegetables. The roast parsnips and carrots were very soft. Otherwise there was Savoy cabbage,roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese. Desserts cost £5.85 and were disappointing. In particular the ‘special’ bread and butter pudding was dry and not made like a proper traditional recipe. It consisted of 2 half slices of bread on top of one another . It was not appealing to look at or eat.

Arranged to meet some friends for dinner having seen the menu looked interesting and had quite a few vegetarian options and wanted to try somewhere different. Had tried to eat here earlier in the year and hadn’t worked out. I ordered a goats cheese tart which sounded delicious, served with fries. When it arrived there was 3 small new potatoes that had been halved and no fries. The tart itself was bland and pretty average and seemed to of been heated in a microwave so had slightly soggy pastry. There was a tiny amount of salad drowning in dressing. Others had meals that they enjoyed, just seemed to be mine that wasn’t great. Staff were friendly and will maybe try again at some point in the future.

After a distillery tour a few miles away we happened upon this lovely quaint pub. Beautiful tradition pub with a modern twist , very clean & well maintained. Staff couldn't do enough for us. Excellent service at the table. We had 3 small dishes between the 2 of us. I had the homemade soup with a huge wedge of bread lightly toasted. It was delicious. My hubby had chicken wings & we shared cheesy chips. Very reasonable prices too. Very enjoyable experience. Many thanks

Appealing pub close to the centre of a small, country town. Internally there are wooden beams and some exposed stone walls but overall it has been fairly well modernised, with a central bar and two distinct areas for drinking/eating. On a cold day, the heating could have done with turning up a notch. The menu isn't the biggest and I was informed on arrival that some of the items listed were not available. I opted for the pan fried sea bass (£14.50), listed on the menu as pan fried salmon, but they informed me the principal ingredient had been changed. Not a problem, as it was a delicious piece of bass, perfectly cooked, served with a pesto dressing plus sauted potatoes and green beans. There are four handpumps featuring, at the time of my visit, the ubiquitous Doom Bar (groan!) plus three well chosen ales including the locally brewed North Cotswold Fosseway Flanker, which was my choice. Overall this is a decent pub, four stars all the way, but just falls short of that wow factor which would elevate it to a five.

The Horseshoe is located just a short walk from the very centre of Shipston. If arriving by car look out for the archway entrance to the on site car park.A friendly welcome and assistance for my partners niece who is a wheelchair user.Good food and service. Plenty of onsite parkingWould recommend

Lovey place for a relaxing drink or a meal. Staff are so helpful and friendly. No trouble to sort out a meal at short notice.

The Manager went to a lot of trouble to squeeze us in at the last minute, then all the staff bent over backwards to be helpful (we had a frail elderly lady in party). Mushroom and tarragon soup was delightful, followed by a very enjoyable carvery, sticky toffee pudding/crumble and coffee. Thank you.

2 sausages & an over cooked & reheated Yorkshire pudding does not make Toad in the Hole. Yes, both of the constituents were there but it felt like they couldn’t be bothered to do it properly. Very disappointed, especially when we go out so rarely.

I have been going to a great pub in the Cotswolds for a couple of years, and then I learnt that their manager had been head hunted to take over the Horseshoe in Shipston-on-Stour, so of course I wanted to visit.The car park that is tucked out of site around the back is really big. The beer garden is very up market, and the recently redecorated bar has been very tastefully done, with a mixture of subdued lighting and great window seats to watch the world go past.The pint of Shagweaver Ale had been kept perfectly and they had other good real beers.I went for a hamburger for lunch which is made on the premises with mince sourced from the local butcher’s and that is impressive, both that the kitchen produces real homemade food, and that it tasted just so good. I also bought a glass of red Rioja, which was perfect. The young lady who served me was delightful.All in all, 11 out of 10.

Decidí venir aquí para celebrar un aniversario de alguien que perdimos, ya que este era uno de sus locales de bebida, la decoración general del pub estaba limpia y una gran mejora, los baños eran encantadores y limpios, el personal del bar muy amable no podía hacer lo suficiente para ayudar, aunque muy decepcionado por la comida en sí, el chef salió y hablamos, sin embargo, todavía estoy esperando hablar con el gerente tres días después, ¡después de que me dijeron que se pondrían en contacto! ! ! ! ! !

Asistí a una familia importante a reunirse en la herradura mientras guarda recuerdos de un ser querido. La comida no era comestible. Las papas fritas eran como palitos de pan, guisantes como balas. El pan de ajo que goteaba en un filete de grasa que se suponía que era mediano fue incinerado. El chef vino a la mesa y nos dijo que no comería. Se suponía que el gerente nos llamaría para hablar sobre la comida y la terrible noche que tuvimos pero no tuvimos. No me importa en absoluto. No dejaría que mis perros comieran allí.

We had an evening meal here - main course and pudding. The food was good - goat’s cheese salad for one of us and faggots for the other. A range of traditional and more modern dishes as you can see. There was a choice of local ale. We had blueberry bakewell for dessert- delicious. The lad on the bar was friendly and looked after us without being overly attentive.

just called in for drinks and wow since our last visit the place has been completely revamped to a very good style.....

El servicio fue agradable y amable. Pudimos pedir un pequeño filete de cadera que estaba delicioso. Esto significaba que teníamos espacio para el pudín, ¡y un delicioso brownie también lo era! Hay mesas en la parte de atrás, un montón de lugares en el bar y el restaurante y tiene un aparcamiento de tamaño decente también.

Great food, nice decor, very friendly staff who were excellent. Ate here for four nights while here on holiday. Thoroughly recommended. Special thanks to a young man called Lewis an a lady who happened to have been an ex landlady it the place.

Este es ahora un buen lugar local para llevar a familiares y amigos a comer. Una cálida bienvenida por parte del anfitrión en un entorno atractivo, y la comida y el servicio fueron excelentes y muy realistas y competitivos en los precios. Sin duda recomendaría The Horsehoe, y espero muchas más visitas, gracias a todos los interesados y buena suerte en el futuro también. Penélope Trevose - Clowe.

A bright friendly and busy bar with couples and families dining. Didn’t dine but enjoyed a drink and chat with friends

1st visit the other day and had a good time with the family. Nice and chilled pub with good food and good service. We will see you soon. Thanks for a nice afternoon.

Visited this pub for the first time since ownership changed and decor has been updated for the better.

Friendly welcome, very clean and warm pub with wonderful food. I had prawns and spaghetti thank goodness I chose the smaller portion. Very tasty meal. We had table service - although you are eating in a pub. Ice cream was also very creamy and tasty. I wish this was my local pub!!!!

We visited on Sunday 10th March for the carver. The food was fresh, delicious and tasty. Excellent value too at £10.95 for an adult portion. The pub interior has been recently refreshed and is clean and inviting. Highly recommended !

Mrs H and I were visiting Shipton on Stour, on a beautiful sunny February Saturday, and fancied a lunch time meal and drink outdoors.

Excellent lunch - Really good lunch at reasonable prices - well worth a visit. Refurbished to a high standard since previously but always enjoyable.

Haven't been here since the New owners have taken over,

We visited on a Saturday night for drinks only, lovely staff, well stocked bar, fair prices, all set in nice surroundings.

We chose this pub from the reviews but it didn’t live up to the hype. The staff were friendly enough and explained they were out of the Chicken main ... and the kids chicken .. and the kids burger ... and all chicken of any sort.

OMG - the food here is amazing. My considered view is - Michelin star quality with the down to earth twist. The re-vamp and new management of this place makes it a gastro hot spot. Everything seems to be homemade down to the tartare sauce. Main meals and puds delicious. In fact best pud I ever had - how unsuual = blueberry bakewell. Well done to the chef.

First time ever eating out on Christmas day.Food great, hot and plentyful, saddle of venison delicious,atmosphere friendly and festive. Really really enjoyed it.

Visité este pub el sábado a las 13: 00. Un lado del pub estaba lleno de comensales, el otro vacío. Nos quedamos en el bar esperando hablar con alguien. Los tres miembros del personal que nos pasaron estaban claramente demasiado ocupados para reconocernos. Finalmente, alguien pareció preguntar si podían ayudarnos. Les preguntamos si tenían una mesa para 5, pero desafortunadamente no lo hicieron. ¿La razón? El otro lado del pub había sido instalado (y uso este término de manera muy general) para una fiesta en la noche. Cuando dije que 'armar' las mesas se habían juntado, se habían colocado los cubiertos y las botellas de salsa en el medio. Entonces, nos fuimos y seguimos nuestro camino alegre - su pérdida - más de 100 gastados en uno de sus competidores, y también fue una muy buena comida. De hecho, muy bien, ¡ya lo he recomendado a mis amigos!

I think people should reject views from the past, new owners ,lovely refurb,fab pub ,give it a try ,

Habiendo vivido en Shipston durante más de treinta años, hemos usado The Horseshoe muchas, muchas veces y podemos decir con absoluta confianza que esta versión es la mejor. El pub ha tenido una actualización importante, que se necesitaba con urgencia; El resultado final es que ahora es un pub realmente agradable, brillante, limpio y ordenado. La comida y el servicio era muy bueno y el valor similar. Nuestra única queja menor era el precio del vino, que era un poco superior; Pero por lo demás, estuvimos muy contentos y volveremos pronto.

Enjoyed a couple of meals here during weekend stay, excellent food, the fish and chips was the best I’ve ever tasted, cooked to perfection so thank you and if we are ever in the area again we will definitely be back for more

Lovely decor, very well styled pub/restaurant. The interior works well with the historic nature of the building....with 17th century coaching inn origins. Very friendly welcome and pleasant ambience. The sea bass was beautifully cooked and very enjoyable, a very good meal experience.

Clean and friendly. Good lunch menu fairly priced. Good portions.Bright modern interior belies it's traditional exterior.

Visited for first time since the refurb and we were not disappointed.Decor was nice,fresh and clean.Steak was fantastic and all the meals were reasonably priced.Good portion sizes.Sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel ice-cream was one of the best desserts ever!They also offer half portions if that`s what you wish.look forward to returning!

Went out as family was visiting and booked to eat at The Shoe.what a difference steak was the best we had ever had compliments to the chef. Atmosphere was great and service was excellent will definitely be going again. Thankyou Lorraine. Denise

Visited today and we both had the fish and chips which was delicious. Batter was light and tasty. Staff friendly helpful and welcoming. Thank you.

Lovely new decor and a relaxing atmosphere to match. I have eaten here several times under the new management and have to recommend the faggots. The Wye Valley HPA is also excellently kept, and the staff are friendly too, which is always an added bonus!

We were a party of six who had made a booking for a table in the restaurant area. When we arrived we were eventually shown to a table in the bar area underneath the flat screen tv which was hardly conducive to conversation! We asked to be moved and were then given a table in the restaurant. One of our party ordered a pint of local beer which he had to reject twice as it was as flat as mill pond and the staff did not seem to have any idea as to how to serve draught beer. We all live locally and try and support local hostelries but to be honest the experience here was poor. We gave our food orders in to the server and awaited our meal - the starters came out as ordered. However when it came to our main courses five came out together with an apology that they had forgotten to put through the other meal ordered, so five had to eat their meals whilst the poor unfortunate member of the party had to watch and then eat his in isolation when everyone else had finished. Yes we were offered complimentary drinks but this really is not adequate compensation for totally disjointed service. Also the hand dryer in the Men’s toilets was not working and no paper towels had been put in place. I had to go to the bar and advise them of the situation and was given some paper napkins to dry my hands.

Visiting the area and called in for a meal. They cater for people who want gluten free food and a reasonable choice of GF food as well as other options. Staff were welcoming and helpful and took time to go over the menu which was also marked up, The food was good, the sweets were excellent and both reasonably priced, a good selection of drinks, looks like it's had a refurbishment and everything's fine. Certainly return again.

Went here for a family Sunday lunch. Lovely and welcoming environment and very friendly staff. Carvery was hot, delicious and cooked thoroughly (no hard vegetables and the potatoes were crispy) I cannot fault the food and it is reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

We booked as it was Fathers Day. Carvery was excellent, good choice of meats, plenty of veg etc. Everyone’s very welcoming, under new management and looks like it’s been passed into safe hands. Have eaten and drank in here before and it’s definitely a seamless transition. Refurb scheduled for July so things can only get better for this little gem of a pub. Oh yes good choice of puddings too!

Lovely food and drink fabulous atmosphere warm and friendly landlord even arranged a lift for us to get to evening function when we couldn't get a cab thank you very much will def be back

I'm a tour guide and was accompanying 2 guests on our way to Blenheim from Stratford. Greeting was warm and friendly - from both the young barman and chef. One of my guests was ill in the toilets (nothing to do with the pub) and the guy behind the bar cleared it up in the same genial manner that he greeted us. The Horse Shoe should count themselves lucky that they have such decent staff. Food was very good - we all had the beef and horseradish sandwich. Music a little too loud and incongruous to the setting - they turned in down for us. Decor could do with a bit more TLC but otherwise great place to stop off. We would visit again.

Wonderful carvery today with the family. The kids loved it! Proper pub with lovely locals who entertained the kids. Lovely little town as well to wander round. It’s under new management and will be refurbished so will be visiting again !

Lovely pub in a lovely village. We all had the set 3 coarse meal priced very reasonably, staff were very attentive and helpful. Would recommend.

We stopped by for Sunday lunch- without a booking. It is a real pub with locals drinking at the bar and well behaved dogs lying on the floor. There is a separate restaurant and food served in the bar as well. The beer is well kept.

Just visited this pub for a drink whilst passing through Shipston on Stour and were attracted by the timber framed exterior. There was a good choice of ale and cider on tap, comfortable seating, and locals were holding forth in the bar. There appeared to be a good choice of food available, but we didn't eat. A good traditional pub.

Looking for a Sunday lunch and was enticed in after speaking with the landlord who was sitting outside.

I visited this pub on Monday lunchtime with my Auntie who lives near the Horseshoe Inn. There was a good choice on the menu, I opted for a ploughmans, which was served with a warm crusty roll, nice salad, cheese , ham and pickle the only thing that let it down was I would have preferred butter to the spread that was provided. My Aunt had Gammon, egg and chips and said the chips were delicious. It was very busy for a lunchtime Monday which is always a good sign.

So friendly and welcoming. Lots of locals relaxing and chatting with each other, but ready to banter with newcomers too.

We needed an early and relatively quick lunch, in order to reach an appointment at the Cotswolds Distillery close by. We chose the Horseshoe Inn partly because it had its own car park. What a good decision it was. On arriving before 12 noon, we asked if we were too early to order food and the very pleasant barmaid assured us that we were not.

Our daughter lives in Shipston and the 3 of us (my husband , daughter and myself) visited for lunch. Friendly and welcoming pub, good choice of food, lovely staff and a welcome from other customers too.

We called into the Horseshoe for lunch.. I had scampi and chips and my husband had sausage and mash. My...

On our arrival the pub was very busy as it was their regular Quiz Night.. However,this did not impact on...

Stopped here for lunch on our way north from Somerset. The young man behind the bar was very helpful in organising our food and drinks. A lovely village pub which the Cotswolds are famous for. Will certainly seek out this place again next time we are down that way which will be soon.

Un antiguo pub, buen menú y comida cocinada a la orden, la gente amable y personal. Buena selección de cervezas y sidras, y se aceptan perros domésticos!

We have visited this pub on many occasions and have never been disappointed, the service is good, the food is of high quality and very tasty.It's good value for money and we will keep on returning!

We needed somewhere to have lunch before a visit the Cotswold Distillery and most places were closed as it was a Monday We found this public house and stopped for lunch. We explained that we were in a rush as couldn't find anywhere to eat closer and they couldn't have been more helpful. Took our order and then got our drinks . The food which was delicious came out promptly and was absolutley great. Very generous portions and beautifully presented. The prices we're very fair and they made sure we had all that we wanted. Can really recommend. Will definitely be going there when we are next in the area . Well done to the staff and the chef. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Definitely recommend coming here for food. We had a great lunch ,good size portions and excellent service. The Beer is kept well, and dogs are welcome .

Popped in with Hubby and two kids. We were hungry, tired and couldn't decide what we wanted so thought we would eat out instead!The Horseshoe was perfect as had enough variety to please all of us. Had curry, burger, baguette and pie. All were scrummy and filling and we didn't have to wait too long either (vital with teenagers!) Had a good range of drinks, several lovely cask ales (so my husband tell me!)Plenty of space to park - another winner!

Very disappointed in the food. I had the ploughman's which was plentiful and very good. However my partner had the scampi and chicken strips with chips at £9.95. I can only describe it as a "kids meal". Cheap, nasty, dry and an absolute joke. My mother in law had the fish pie. This was supposed to be served with peas but she received SALAD instead and the fish pie was bone dry with no sauce so it was OBVIOUSLY overcooked. Would DEFINITELY NOT eat here again. Poor, and bitterly disappointed. Mother in law lives in Shipston and was really upset at the standard and quality of the food

We had a lovely evening meal here but couldn't manage a pudding as it was a very generous main course (delicious though). The landlady and her staff were very friendly and chatty and made us feel very welcome.

Food is fantastic and prices are spot on and staff are so pleasant and polite. Absolutely loved my time there will 100% be going there again.

Not fancy; just a comfy old pub, but with wonderful food. We got to talk with one of the cooks, who was serving, and she was deservedly proud of her cooking--especially the sticky toffee pudding, which was the best we had on the whole trip!

Good food. Friendly hosts. Menu small but fair priced. Old building which makes for a cosy feel. Has a beer garden

We received a warm and friendly, welcome as soon as we stepped through the door of this charming old pub, particularly from the landlord who is a venerable old chap of character who sports a grand white beard but assured us that we would be treated like royalty and we were.The food is uncomplicated but is cooked well, served hot and portions are generous too. Good value too as our bill came to just under £30 per head and we all had two courses and a bottle of wine each.Just a few minor niggles: they had run out of a few things which was a surprise for 7pm on a Saturday evening, especially as it wasn't busy; and there was no real ale on offer which goes against the look of the place, particularly the hops hanging from the old oak beams.I would definitely recommend booking here for a meal though.

Having recently moved near to Shipston we had recommendations from a few people about the food here. We had our first overnight guests since moving and dinner out was on the agenda, we wanted good food and plenty of choice. The Horseshoe scored 10/10 for both, we were spoilt for choice, locally sourced meat etc. Two of us had Cotswold faggots - delicious. The other two had Chicken with Stilton which was also very tasty. We could each of easily chosen at least three or four other options each. We did manage a pudding. The sticky toffee was declared the best ever tasted by a homemade sticky toffee officiando! On top of all this the service was great, the pubs really friendly with a mix of locals and people from further afield. We will def become regulars at The Horseshoe. Thanks for a great evening.

Good pub great cider. Had a fish soup very disappointing. £8 for good bread but soup was very poor value. Just a brown liquid with about 5 very small squares of fish in it. For that price thought it was going to be a harty filling soup. Was hardly a decent starter!

Stopped here for a quick light lunch, we had the fish finger baguette and sausage, bacon and black pudding baguette which were marvellous. The black pudding was the best I have ever tasted. Ambience was very friendly with a great choice of cask ales. Perfect.

Super inn. Good beer, great food, locally sourced. Sunday lunch specials. Good portions and great value for money.

Great food,good service ,one of the best places to eat in Shipston.The steaks are amazing and all the food is from the local butchers and farms .

Spending a birthday weekend at a local large house 13 of us went here for a Sunday carvery. Lovely choice of meat and plenty of vegetables. Our non meat eater was quickly prepared a fish pie and there was even gluten free Yorkshire puddings for our coeliac guest. A special thank you to Becky for helping to,organise this part of our lovely weekend.

After a big night at the weekend, we craved a big fry up and The Horseshoe didn't disappoint. Generous portions and great value. Good coffee as well.

Ended up in the horseshoe with a friend after a random road trip! Lovely relaxed pub, the food was great and we managed to watch the rugby. We had locally made rabbit pie with really good chips and gravy. Can't fault the service or the friendly welcome we had.

Currently sat in front of the fire with our dog & have just enjoyed a baguette & chips each. Really tasty food. Cajun chicken and chips with curry sauce and a bacon, Brie & cranberry with cheesy chips. Baguettes nicely lightly cooked & really tasty fillings. Good locals, friendly & chatty. Dogs welcome. Nice fire. Nicely priced.

A fun type of pub with friendly staff and choice of good ales. A real old established bar with lots of locals. Quite bohemian but suits the place. Good selection of nibbles and great fun!

I live 30 mins away from Shipston but at least once a month my gf and I drive over for a Sunday Carvery. The meat is always amazing. ( and very generous too) There are loads of vegetables to help yourself to. And proper old fashioned gravy too!I cannot recommend this lovely old pub enough. It's a proper old school pub so lots of friendly locals enjoying a chat. The odd dog stretched out on the carpet. This place is like going back in time. And it's Perfect!So for a Sunday roast like your granny used to cook, plus a couple of soft drinks for under £25 this place can't be beaten......Any chance of you putting mashed potato on for Sunday lunch???id be there every week if you did!!

Visited this evening. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The pub and the atmosphere was traditional and homely. Great menu choices. Both mine and my partners food was exceptionally good.I would say one of the nicest meals we have had in a long time and would not hesitate to return or recommend. Excellent value for money too. Really impressed. Large car park to the rear which was helpful considering shipston on stour's limited parking.

We had evening meal/bar snack for three nights in a row, as we were staying Bed and Breakfast in Ilmington. There was a really good selection of 'normal' food at sensible prices. The bar staff were great and the locals were welcoming too.

What a lovely friendly pub. We arrived early as we had tickets for 'Dad's Army' at the lovely little Townsend Hall theatre in Shipton. , and asked for our food as soon as their kitchen opened at six.We had two delicious meals on the table at 6.10, in time to relax and enjoy them and sample the real ale selection. American I.P.A recommended in this CAMRA pub.Well worth a visit if you are in this area.

Met up with family and friends service was fab as usual food was great would advise if you're going to eat book very busy pub and restaurant plus car parking to the rear

Popped in here during a visit to shipston. Fab atmosphere and very friendly locals who made us feel at home. Bar staff great and food looked really nice although didn't eat ourselves. A proper English pub unspoilt. The cooks from Swindon

We had dinner and a drink here and it was absolutely delicious food - I had blade of beef with kale and mashed potato and it was perfectly cooked - the beef fell apart in your mouth. The selection of beers was also really varied. The only slight downside is that there were some very loud locals/staff who made it a little hard to hear each other. To be fair, there were quieter areas of the pub that we could have moved into had it been necessary.

I have a lovely time every time I come hear I injoy all the food the drinks all lovely staff. and my little girl had a great sunday lunch and so did I. and as always I didn't need to wash up

My partner has to eat gluten and dairy free food. Glad to say that Swampy and his colleagues couldn't have been more helpful and a perfect meal followed without any prior warning. Excellent beer and local cider. Loads of mouthwatering specials on the board so something to tempt everyone. Very friendly so visit when you can!
