The Lazy Pug in Mendip

Went late lunch very quiet. Nice manager/excellent food and dog friendly decor could maybe do with overhaul on busy road would recommend yes

Food was very good and cost reasonable. But when paying the bill we were charged £30 for 2 pints and 2 gin and tonics. Spoiled a good experience.

We stayed the night in one of the rooms on a baking august night. The room was on the road, which was very loud. The bar was also very loud and you could hear from above, so heat and noise made it an impossible night sleep. The room however was really nice and clean and well furnished with a super comfy bed. So I give it more for that. The food was good too with a good selection of beers

We were staying here last week for a couple of nights so decided to have food and drinks here. The staff were so friendly. The food was decent. Wine was good. Hubby enjoyed his pints of Guinness.

Came here for food last night, food was nice but took ages, we weren’t told about this which was a bit disappointing. Service was really slow too although the girl serving was lovely. The worst part was a table of other customers who were so rude!! They were practically shouting at each other, belching, swearing and complained about everything it just put us all on edge and ruined it really. The lady did apologise, totally appreciate it wasn’t her fault but she could have offered to move us to a different table or even some drinks but anyway, shame it was let down by other customers.

45 minutes wait for a breakfast that was uneatable,the plate had been left on the hot plate so long that the butter in the plastic container had turned to liquid eggs had turned to a rubber consistency bacon, sausage, mushrooms and toast all burnt,at least they gave me a full refund.

Really lovely place, with a real pub feel, served cheerfully by staff and the food was good, friendly lively locals to boot 🤣

Nice little pub / hotel. We stayed for 1 night while visiting the local area. Room was nice, a little on the warm side and no fan or air con and a very noisy street if the window was open. Not the end of the world though. We had dinner in the pub and breakfast the next day, both meals were good value for money and tasted great. Staff were friendly and polite.

We stopped off in Shipston-on-Stour, on our way to Chipping Campden. I had looked up dog friendly pubs and this was just right! The staff were lovely and made a fuss of our dog. Brought him a treat and a bowl of water. The food was really nice. It was Taco Tuesday and I had a mix of 3 tacos, they were delicious. My husband had the scampi & chips, also yummy! Definitely worth a visit!

Hands down the best burger I’ve ever had in my life!!! I can’t believe there’s hardly any reviews for this place, not sure if they have recently opened or had a refurb, but my god, what an absolute gem of a pub. I had the Paris Stilton, honestly unreal!!! Compliments to the chef! My partner has the fish and chips which was also delicious and my daughter the pizza which was really good!! If you are in the area give this place a go! Shout out to the waitress too (American lady, apologies I didnt catch your name) however she made us feel so welcome and a fantastic waitress for my family. Thank you :)

Just popped in for coffee, delicious. Welcoming atmosphere. Looked at menus and will come here to eat ( we live about 10 miles away)

Morgan was a sweetheart, more than helpful with my attempts to find a taxi that could get me back to banbury. Was really pleased to be able to get an oat, vanilla latte that just hit the spot specially for a lactose intolerant person like me. Also had a pie while waiting for the taxi and it was absolutely perfect, clearly homemade, with honey roasted vegetables that tasted amazing. All in all a great experience, if I had to point a flaw would be that the place could do with a revamp but not overly important for the quality of what I had.

It's a cute little place. We stayed one night, room was fine, clean, but very dusty and still had crumbs from previous guest, soft furnishings could do with scrub and clean. Rooms are noisy due to the fridge and outside noise. Staff are lovely! Sadly breakfast was below standard, firstly it was not served with sourdough bread, as advertised, bacon beans poor standard, pancakes were burnt , seemed to be thrown on a plate. Coffee, cappuccino ,served in a large tea mug. Also not charged at £10 as advertised on our booking.

A dog friendly environment with great staff. I have been in a few times for lunch and/or drinks and they are a very friendly group who look after their customers really well. Morgan especially is always happy to go the extra mile and make us feel welcome and provide great service. The food has always been great and served within reasonable times when I've eaten there. Would highly recommend anyone to stop in.

Just had food in the lazy pug and I must say it was delicious highly recommend 😍 staff were very friendly and welcoming loved my experience 😊

Very dog friendly, the staff greeted my dog with a bowl of water and a treat. Then great food was amazing and the service was excellent

Fabulous room,friendly helpful staff.Great cocktails and breakfast. We will definitely stay here again .

The front end; booking, talking with Poppy without any quibble, what follows they shared as I did real time. The long wait after ordering was brought to an end by us being told the chef had felt ill so stepped out then returned, an apology was offered, jokes were made about hangovers as it was New Years day. After about an hour 4 of the six covers arrived, the final two 2 pizza's, so not being cooked as any other dish followed 8 or minutes later. One being for a 5 yr who waited patiently. My Pleased to Meat Ya pizza was to have pulled chicken, pork, sausage, sliced pepperoni and chilli flakes on it. With the exception of the pepperoni the other meat were represented in such small amounts and looking so similar that when the 'how is everything with your meals?' visit came from staff I pointed out underwhelm with meat amount, the lack of ability to differentiate type meat on the modest sized pizza and that no chilli flakes were present, the very embarrassed staffer apologised and said the chef would be fedback too. We finished, there ensued a long wait for half the table to be cleared before a bigger table took the attentions of floor staff. After another short wait during which we had to ask for desert and were told 'The kitchen is now closed', the response to which being 'you've taken so long to serve and not cleared the table or checked for dessert as it two children you ought to be able to provide a scoop of ice cream and sourdough cookie'. This was provided and announced as uncharged due to poor service and the chef had walked out/left their employ, necessitating another step in. I'd go back. BUT I'd ask about staff availability and health. I think it is a great place but our experience was no 'management ' the emerging issue which could have been explained to keep us alongside by being offered an understanding of the problem without the extended waits. If the manager wants to talk about it my booking was for 6 between 12:30 and 14:15 01/01/2024, it'll be on you system with my contact detials.

The one star is for the servers. I’m struggling to describe what was served to me because it was so badly cooked, cold, totally indiscernible and totally tasteless. That this stuff was passed for service is crazy. Lazy Pug cooks…I have always supported local services but I honestly will never return as the experience was so bad. Such a pity, get it together guys and see what you are dishing up.

Not very busy and it lacked a bit of atmosphere but a great selection of drinks just suffering from lack of atmosphere.

“Boutique rooms” is how it’s described on their web page…… what is boutique about grubby, bare, noisy rooms? Walked in to see ear plugs on the cups and soon realised why……. The huge gap under the door and no doors between the bar are and our room meant our bed May as well have been in the middle of the pub. Then the loud music started again before 7.30 so no lie in. Plus no double glazing and overlooking the main road meant we might as well try to sleep on the M6. The person in the room above obvious got no sleep either as was pacing most of the night and every step sounded like they were coming through the ceiling. The food in the evening was ok but breakfast was awful. My eggs benny was fishy tasting (turned out to be salmon on it) and hubby’s sausage on his bun was burned. Cups were returned as dirty.

Great pub and hotel, stopped I night after a visit to Cotswold Distillery, really friendly and helpful staff helped us with our luggage, cosy room with everything you need, lovely gluten free pizza and breakfast too,would definitely return.thanks to all the staff.

Stayed here whilst on a course at the Fire Service college. My room was called Dream on the 1st floor and it was fine for my needs. The bathroom looked like it had been recently refurbished and it was to a high standard. My hearing isn’t great ( I’ve seen some previous comments re noise) so I had no issues with noise but it’s a pub so if you’re after an early night you’ve got to expect some noise. My room was very warm but I’d brought my own fan so was ok but there wasn’t one in the room. Definitely worth asking if one is provided before you book. I ate here every night and what I had was great, plenty of it and at a fair price. The staff were great. The Cotswolds is expensive but I thought the Lazy Pug was fairly priced for the area.

So we had high expectations of the lazy pug but to be honest we were left disappointed. The photos show something different to reality. The room was nice but obviously due to the heat was extremely hot so had to leave windows open. No fans...

Was a great night ..a nice warm fire and welcome from the staff ..it was Burger night 2 or £20 very tasty washed down with a few beers we were travelling through but would definitely go back .. See you again soon

The rooms were well equipped, the beds comfortable and the rooms were warm. The staff were friendly and helpful. Ideal position to access the Cotswolds.

We had been given a voucher for the Cotswold distillery tour and booked a cheap budget pub B&B. Just somewhere to sleep. We were pleasantly surprised that the rooms were really bright and comfy with lots of little nice extras. Massive walk-in shower, big fluffy...

Holidaying near Shipston and called here for a quick drink. The staff were very helpful and when we found out they could provide gluten free meals we came back twice more for food. Some great drinks available, food was delicious - especially the pizzas and...

Ordered 2 burgers and chips. Chicken burger was smaller than a child’s portion, the chips were dry and lacking flavour. Very disappointing.

Came here on an off chance just for a drink but liked the place so decided to try some food the following night - they were some of the best pizzas we've had and gluten free ones too. Great atmosphere - good music and nice...

My friend and I called in for a late lunch on a Friday. Lunch is served here until 5.00pm. I chose the Garlic Butter Prawns, with Herbs, Double Cream, Parmesan Cheese and Chives. It's the best pasts that I've ever had! My friend chose the...

We really enjoyed our recent stay here. The room was very trendy, staff very friendly and hospitable. The food was excellent. I especially liked the touches such as a nespresso machine and an actual fridge in our room. Would definitely return.

First and last visit to the lazy pug. We have been to all the other pug pubs in leamington and warwick and have never had a bad meal. No option of alcohol free cocktails said they could not do one. Ordered a kids starter of...

We didn't book and were lucky to get a table on a Saturday night. The place had a lively buzzing atmosphere. The staff were friendly and the food came quickly. It's not fine dinning (and doesn't pretend to be) but the food was good and...

Mother’s Day lunch. Great menu. Each course was cooked beautifully and tasted great. Roast beef was perfect. Helpful and friendly staff and really nice atmosphere. Can’t wait to return for another super roast!

Great place with great vibe! Huge selection of gins which pleased our group of 10. They accommodated our large group well. Big menu with loads to choose from, with everything we ordered tasting delicious.

Had a lovely time , staff couldn’t be friendlier or more helpful. Love the modern rooms and the neon lights are the perfect photo opportunity.

The staff are great, the food is great and beer selection is awesome Our favorite haunt to take the very welcome dog

Really disappointing. No vegan options but my vegan friend picked toast, hash brown, mushrooms and grilled tomato. Was charged £8. Nearly 30 minutes later and the poorest excuse for a breakfast arrived. ONE hash brown. ONE slice of toast. 1/2 of a grilled tomato and...

Second visit to this new venture in Shipston. Service is excellent as is the food & drink. Beavertown Neckoil, hot wings and dirty fries - just fabulous. Very quickly becoming one of our favourite haunts in town. Oh and they love dogs - water, treats...

This once rather lacklustre “boozer” has been transformed into a delightful, atmospheric gastropub which has burst onto the scene from lockdown with style & aplomb! The menu offers an eclectic choice of bar food type platters, plus more fulsome mains for those wanting a “proper”...
