The Mount Inn in Wychavon

We fell in love with this pub the first time we visited, and second time we returned, we were recognised and treated like regulars. (Nowadays rare and) outstanding hospitality, thank you! They grow their own vegetables: the food is fresh, seasonal and very well presented. Also, quite big portions. They do get very busy, therefore, if you want to eat or sit inside, you must book in advance. Otherwise, there is plenty of seating outside to enjoy the beautiful views.

Avoid! Rude staff, slow service, chaotic atmosphere, average food and ridiculous hours including the kitchen closing before advertised. Won’t be back

Really great visit for Sunday lunch. It’s a great pub in a stunning spot and very good value too. Well worth a visit!

Excellent food and lovely service.

Nice restaurant at a beautiful location with lovely views.

Thanks, Pip. We had a lovely meal. Chicken and potatoes cooked to perfection. You were just what we needed. We will return again and again to the moat idyllic spot, outstanding service, and the best food and beer.

Incredible view, well kept beer and good food. I’ll be back!

This place is very expensive for what you get , I ordered beef burger at £18 or more, which didn’t taste right & it was red inside, I told them about it, & all that was said was, I’ll let the kitchen know. I’d left most of my burger & the chips that came with the meal, the chips was more like scratching from the bottom of the bag. She did not offer to do anything to put it right & no money off bill.

It is a lovely place. Food is fantastic, service is superb, Pip and Karl are very lovely and warm welcoming. Highly recommended.

Great food, dog friendly, good service and friendly staff

We haven’t been to The Mount for years but it is just as great as it ever was. Same couple who run it. Very friendly and food delicious. Really worth a visit. Views are amazing and pub is lovely and cosy. Lovely outside seating. Large veg patch so no wonder the veg tastes fresh.

We got there just about lunch time - unknowingly before the lunch rush. We have been in England the whole week and the weather has been great. Blue skies and sunny as you can see in my pictures. My wife and I split the Greek salad and the Chicken leek and potato pie. The food was amazing. The salad had mint and that was a nice little touch, along with the dressing and fresh tomatoes that made the whole combo delicious. The pie was also nice and hot and filled with great chunks of chicken and potatoes. The gravy was very savory and added to the whole pie experience. The hand cut chips (French fries) were very good too a shame they only had 50% reduced sugar ketchup. But the view was amazing and the food matched the view.

One server for whole restaurant, she looked on verge of tears at one point. Hope she's okay. I guess other member of staff called in sick. Food was really good for price, big portions. Views were lovely outside looking over hills and pretty village.

Arrived here ten minutes ago mid way through a hike. Quite busy, so asked the lady in a striped top 'is this the queue to order food?. I got a sarcastic and sharp response, while ignoring my question initially. No need for such rudeness. Left. Will not give such places my custom.

Attractive location with lovely views. Easy parking. Clean toilets. But: Disappointing atmosphere and mediocre food. Won’t repeat our visit.

Amazing views and great place to stop, good food but staff are a bit grumpy

The Mount has become our favourite place to eat in this area, the welcome and food are second to none. It's a superb location too, in the picture box location of Stanton, set high up with views to the west. A great menu with something for everyone, we had scallops as a starter with skate wings, off the bone, as a main, both were exceptional put together by a chef who knows his craft. It's a lovely old pub with a great character where you are really made to feel welcome. Look forward to the next time.

The Mount is my favourite place to eat in the area, great menu and great food. Beautiful location with stunning views over Stanton to the west. Always a warm welcome in this lovely old Cotswold pub. Locally brewed Donnington beers complete the experience. Look forward to next time.

Such a lovely pub with great views, impressive food (chicken burger in image) and staff who work hard to make sure you're looked after quickly! Thanks

Turned up at the pub looking for a beer and a lunch as the website stated that the pub was open, only to find a notice that the pub was closed owing to annual holidays. I was far from the only person who arrived and found the same information.

One of our favourite country pubs in the area. Stunning place for a sundowner. Hope the chef returns as the food is usually excellent.

Every thing this couple does here is fantastic they work hard really care give great service I don’t know the Alison p women I was with a large group and she was horrible we all felt for the girl behind the bar there was no need looked at this ladies reviews she’s got a real chip on her shoulder about everywhere she goes can’t say enough the food was amazing

Terrible experience when away for the weekend. The chef Carl was argumentative and rude when I returned the food he presented and told me that the other people he had served had not Complained so therefore I was wrong and would have to pay for two diners. He refused to remove the meal from the bill even though not eaten . Morally corrupt and greedy. The only PUB in Stanton so obviously felt he had the right to be a bully. We had to pay for food not eaten and kindly left a tip, for his wife, but would not recommend that anyone eat here with that attitude of godlier than thou and utter rudeness to a customer . Very unpleasant experience. Do not bother.

Good view across the Vale. Steep hill walk nearby for more views.

Amazingly friendly service and also so kind to our six-month old puppy - even offering us a great table to sit at so she could sleep. Don’t skip the chicken pie or lamb rump - my husband and I would both recommend to friends.

We had a great time here after a 2 mile walk on the public foot paths from Buckland on a Sunday afternoon. We were delighted to see the shoe covers for our Wellies as the paths were quite mucky. Pip, our server, was personable, fun and gracious. The views are just stunning! All four of us highly recommend this spot!

Nice place and good food 👌 😋 service very good 👍 👌

Had our reservations after reading the past reviews and we had to chase to confirm the booking. Superb location, fantastic views. Can’t fault the service, generous food portions and very tasty. Reasonably priced. Great ambience All in all can’t fault this, great experience and we would definitely go again. If you arrive early don’t expect your order to be taken until it is the time you booked, that’s just how it works here. Thats ok Definitely worth a visit

We've been coming to The Mount for years and last nights dinner was the best ever! The pork with delicious crackling sat on sage mash with lovely fresh vegetables. Also excellent was the roast partridge with mushrooms. Pippa and her colleague was so attentive and gave us great service. The atmosphere and warmth were classic British pub.

Always delivers! I so love The Mount, I just wish I lived nearer. Met a friend for lunch today, he had the Goat Cheese Tart starter and burger Main, I had the Boeuf Bourguignon. My friend raved over his meal, the BB was utterly outstanding. The beef was soft and succulent, the gravy, was full of flavour, the home-grown vegetables and mash utterly mouthwatering. Well done to the lovely Pip who despite scurrying around like a Duracel Bunny(!) always had time to stop, smile and listen to her customers. Prices very reasonable, portions generous. Cannot wait to return.

One of only 2 pubs in the town of Stanton. Elevated location (up a pretty steep hill) provides a nice view of the surrounding countryside. The people at the Inn were welcoming and warm, as was the atmosphere they helped to create. We had ciders and rested our feet while it showered outside.

Wow, what a fantastic pub so unusual with plenty of space inside and outside right by the canal. It is a great place for meeting up with others and socialising. I would highly recommend

There was 2 couples and 2 dogs for lunch. We were all given a warm welcome. The food was excellent. For the main course two of us had the halibut which was really good. One of our party had the Pavlova for dessert and said it was the best she had ever been served!

Absolutely fantastic. They looked after 6 of us for dinner so well. Strongly recommend booking a table in advance - they were really clear and helpful via email in making the reservation, and everything was perfect when we turned up. Service was beautiful, best we've had in ages. Food was brilliant, with some ingredients from the pub's garden and portions from chef that defeated some of a fairly sturdy walking party! Excellent local beers too, and a cosy atmosphere plus pub cat. 100%, thank you so much to everyone at the Mount Inn!

What an amazing place, you must visit. The views from the pub are something else. We only stayed for drinks as they had sadly stopped serving food until the evening, menu looked so good. The owners are a delight, very welcoming and full of local knowledge. Can’t wait to return next time we’re visiting the Cotswolds.

Absolutely fantastic place. Service and food is top notch and not so pricy it hurts. Add to your list for sure!

We were on a walking tour and The Mount Inn was highly recommended as a lunch stop (I'd recommend it for dinner as well). The service was fantastic - despite no wait staff - the chef and his wife looked after us. The food was creative and delicious, a fair bit sourced from their own garden, and the entire experience very pleasant. It's not a large place (though charming with a fantastic view), and the demand is high, so I highly recommend you obtain reservations in advance; we were strongly advised to book in advance. I observed a few people turned away because they were fully booked out (with some grumbling) and that is also evident in other reviews here. This is not a function of this place being bad - quite the contrary. Just about the best lunch experience we had in 8 days.

We called in last night, just for drinks. What a lovely place! Fabulous views, great outdoor seating and envious, looking at the vegetable beds! We didn’t eat this time, but will definitely come back, the menu and the food looked good, great aromas, too! Essential to book for food, as very busy, which was lovely to see. Great range of beers and lager, delicious cappuccino, with more depth of flavour, I was spoiled! Thank you!

What a gem! Beautiful setting with fabulous view just wish we'd found it sooner as it was our last night in the Cotswolds. We were so lucky as we hadn't booked but managed to bag the very last free table. The food from chef Karl was fantastic and presented beautifully. We couldn't fault a single thing about our visit. Pip and Lisa our waitresses were very welcoming and attentive. We will definitely be back and can highly recommend.

This place is absolutely charming. We were staying in Broadway at Russell's and came here for supper one night. The place is delightful, the menu is a little more interesting than the usual pub suppers to be had in the area. The service is attentive and gracious and the food was delicious. Note that for the full restaurant menu you have to sit inside (there is a smaller menu for outside), but that won't stop you from going outside on the terrace after you eat and sitting with a drink looking out over the village. Highly recommended.

This review relates only to the service, as we did not eat anything. We visited in July 2024. We arrived 30 minutes before closing time, which I knew and acknowledged to the woman behind the bar the moment I walked through the door. With a smile I clearly stated that we weren't looking for food, only a quick drink on the terrace where there's a wonderful view. The response, and our treatment during our stay was nothing short of shockingly rude. After informing me in a very unfriendly tone that "the kitchen is closed anyway", we were begrudgingly served drinks, and two chairs on the terrace were dried off as it had rained shortly before. We were three people, however, and when we asked if one more chair could be dried off it was done with a very snide remark, something about us figuring out where to sit. I went to the bathroom immediately, and thank goodness I did because while I was in there my husband and mother were informed that the bathrooms were closing. We were then locked out of the building along with a few other guests (mind you, this was still about 15 minutes before official closing time), forcing us to exit directly from the terrace via a steep path with no handrail that was not easy to navigate for my 82 year old mother, or me with an injured knee. I've never left a one star review before, but never before have I experienced such terrible ill-mannered service, for no apparent reason other than having the audacity to ask for a drink in an establishment that is still open for another 30 minutes. A final remark: I don't believe this had anything to do with us or our behaviour, as the other guests seemed just as shocked and bewildered as we were.

Not for walkers? The other reviewers here are right. We waited outside until the midday opening time and then waited inside in a queue of four couples. A staff member appeared and seated the first couple and then started taking their drinks order and putting it in their computer (slowly…!) while we other three couples were still waiting in the queue for 8+ minutes to be seated. Then a second staff member arrived, by which time we had given up and concluded at the rate things were going we would be there a few hours to get lunch, and decided just to buy a bag of crisps at the bar. I said ‘I see you have beef flavour, what other flavours are there?’ In reply to which the staff member said ‘On the board’. She came across as rather perfunctory. Our impression is that the staff here wouldn’t know hospitality or friendliness if it hit them in the face! My partner felt very much treated like a second class citizen. Maybe their attitude to us was because we were in hiking clothes although we had removed our boots at the door as their sign requests. Perhaps they are really targeting the long lunch trade. A very unsatisfactory experience.

Stopped while walking on Cotswolds Way. Great place to grab a pint, fill your water, and be on your way!

I really enjoyed the food, the service, and the location. And I want to highlight that my server was amazing. Unfortionately, the chef didn't feel the same. Every time our server stepped back to the kitchen, the chef would scream at our server at the top of his lungs. The swearing, name calling, and patronizing language from the chef made for a very uncomfortable atmosphere and was clearly creating a negative working environment. No one deserves to work in this kind of environment. I left that place feeling absolutely terrible. I was literally shaking.

Lovely food and beautiful scenery

This is the only restaurant in the village and there are no grocery stores. I requested a reservation online for our party of five, but never received a response. We went to the restaurant and were told they had not received my request, but if we were patient they would seat us. After two and one-half hours of sitting in a hot glass enclosed area while other dining parties came and went, and after receiving several rude corrections of our use of English language by the waitress named Pipster, she disappeared without providing a bill, so I paid at the counter just so we could be done and escape the dismal experience. Pipster, in the future it would be better not to seat someone than to do so and ignore their presence.

By far the best burger I’ve ever had. The staff was an absolute delight, helpful, caring and considerate with my disability. If you’re round the area, by all means, come along! An absolute must in the Cotswolds!

Went for a lunchtime meal. The place was fairly quiet but the welcome was excellent. The food was nothing short of brilliant - extremely well cooked and reasonably priced. The views were amazing as the pub is perched on a rise looking out over the edge of the Cotswolds and across to the Severn flood plain. Well done!

Poor service and food. Originally booked a table inside but decided to eat outside to admire the view. Was told they only offered a limited menus outside. Ordered fish and chips and scampi and chips and a pint and a half of San Miguel. There was a problem with the beer so after waiting at the bar 10 minutes I was told to sit down and they would bring the drinks over. The food arrived before the drinks! The fish and chips were greasy and more batter than fish and the scampi was not much better. The tables and chairs were cheap plastic and not cleaner between customers. Luckily it was overcast as there was not any shade or parasols outside. The staff seemed unable to cope and seemed harassed. Plates were not cleared quickly in fact people were taking their own plates to the bar to clear their table. When asked by the waiter if everything was ok I said the fish was very greasy, he said in a blaze manner ok, I will mention it to the chef and walked off. The village of Stanton is well worth a visit but I would eat elsewhere. They are guaranteed to be busy as they cash in on the amazing view but their service and food is poor

I am reluctant to post negative reviews, but we had been walking on a hot day and included the pub on our itinerary as a place to stop for a drink (from Broadway to Winchcombe, there are only a few possible places to call in) The pub said it was open 12-3pm on Tuesdays, and we got there just before 2.25pm, along with another lady from Canada and a family of 4 in a car. A couple waiting for a taxi said the pub had closed early as there was no food. Fortunately we had water with us. There are no shops in the villages.

Beautiful location. Food was lovely and portions were very large. Friendly service. Views from the Mount are spectacular

A charming Cotswolds pub with lovely staff and amazing food. Highly recommend that you try the specials!

Wonderful location but very poor attitude to service. If you want service with a smile or even a simple sandwich after a lovely walk then this is not the pub for you! Pity as it could be vreat

Great service and very friendly staff. Welcoming and warm manners. Perched up on the hill, beautiful view of the valley and shared a pint with some locals and tourists.

A lovely venue, landlady needs to gain a personality.

We walked in, and it’s a bit of a hill. Ample parking for those driving. Food was good, service attentive, and pints cold.

Lovely place, we hadn't booked and the staff were helpful and friendly and found us a table in the bar area, also very dog friendly. Food was fantastic, price reasonable (we'd been in nearby Broadway all day which seems more expensive). We had the chicken in leeks and pulled belly pork. Misty evening, would love to return on a sunny afternoon and sit in the beer garden, admiring the fabulous views. Highly recommend.

They had closed between lunch and dinner and were tidying glasses away. I was desperate for a drink after a long hike and asked just to buy anything and they said no. Only place to buy something for 5km. Appreciate it’s not a food review and they weren’t actually open but it says a lot about the staff that they didn’t want to help someone that needed it.

Always surprised when people are rude for the sake of being rude. Not a good experience which seems to be the norm. Not worth a visit with other good pubs in nearby villages

We visited here on a Sunday after a 40 minute car ride, lovely village and the pub is situated on the top of the hill overlooking the village and neighbouring countryside. It is quite beautiful. We were ignored whilst waiting by the bar by 2 staff members who continually passed us without acknowledgement. After 10 minutes or more we found a table outside and took a menu. Within 5 minutes we were approached by a member of staff who informed us we were too late for food and she took the menu away from my hand telling me we wouldn't be needing it! Her manner was very abrasive and rude. Despite all the beauty, we were rather taken back by the rude staff and wouldn't return.

Took some friends visiting from Australia. They were speechless with the ambience, views & service. They said it was worth travelling half way round the world for. Most certainly highly recommended.

Saturday lunch, great food and service, terrific atmosphere and views plenty to like here

Admittedly we were 3 mins after closure, all we wanted was a drink and to sit outside, had only been open 4 hours so hardly had a long shift! But the both women work were extremely rude I tried to make it easier and quicker for them. by having the same drink and trying to pay quickly, and was responded with sarcastic comments the whole experience was most unpleasant.

We went here looking for food on a Sunday afternoon, it's situated in a beautiful village, and the pub is very picturesque too. Unfortunately we found the staff rude. We arrived and waited by the small bar, a young male member of staff came out, didn't acknowledge us and walked past us. He did this several times and didn't once speak or make eye contact. A woman waitressing passed us a couple of times, also not acknowledging us. After 10 minutes we found a table outside, after another 5 minutes we were approached by a member of staff, she told us they were no longer serving and said we'd no longer be needing the menus & took them back! She did say we were welcome to stay for a drink, but honestly her tone was rude and brusque. So a beautiful pub, sadly, badly let down by the staff!

Stunning view with a beautiful beer garden on the hillside! The food was impeccable and the service so friendly. I would highly recommend this spot - just make sure to make a booking!

Met friends and had a lovely evening. The views are stunning particularly as the sunsets. The food was good, the ambience was comfortable and we were made to feel most welcome including our dogs.

Unfriendly staff. Order online in the pub. Can't sit outside, staff weren't prepared to service the outdoor area. Not the first time we've been disappointed so even though lovely position, unlikely to return.

We didn't have any food but the smell from kitchen was really good. It's a very beautiful place with a wonderful view.

After doing the stanton circular walk, we were pleasantly surprised to find the pub situated at the end of the walk. We ordered the goat cheese and beetroot tart with a portion of chips, and they went down a treat sitting on the outside terrace

Wonderful food great atmosphere and the 2 waitresses superb!!!

My husband and I went in for a drink. We sat outside and the views were superb. The service was quite abrupt.

Really lovely pub with good food, friendly and helpful staff. Not too expensive and in a superb location with amazing views.

Perfect Cotswold pub. Great food and beer

Sweetest cat on earth. Also, very helpful and kind staff, pleasant food.

Did ot stay more than two minutes. Very rude staff. Asked if there was a table available only to be told. No. Can't you see we are busy? Don't you ever think of booking? We went to eat an excellent meal in Broadway.

Called in last minute as passing by. Sat outside as everywhere was reserved inside. Was served excellent food really quickly and it was great. Decent value and the views from The Mount are second to none. Excellent pint for a sundowner and very good place for lunch.

Amazing. Great food, excellent service, and really nice atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough. Best skip lunch to get all the generous portions in as well

Food stopped at 2pm... not exactly the destination I hoped for having walked from Blockley. My fault for not checking website before visiting. At least I know not to bother next time... who can eat in that short a window?

Cannot find fault. Excellent food drink and ambiance. Wonderful staff.

Traditional English pub offering great food. The setting is sensational the hosts are brilliant. Try it you wont be disappointed

Amazing food, fantastic service. Gorgeous traditional pub! Pip and her team couldn't be more welcoming. We visited with a group of 16 whilst enjoying a few days away for the Cheltenham racing festival. The age range was from 20 to 70+. Everyone loved the food and the beer was great too. Can't wait to go back next year! Thanks Pip!!

Amazing location, beautiful pub, lovely beer but no food for walkers! We stopped in on a long walk expecting to get some food but we were refused food and told we could only eat if we booked. Lots of tables outside but they weren't prepared to make us anything not even a bowl of chips. Could you even just have a plate of rolls on the bar for walkers to buy? We saw at least 4 other groups in the same boat 😕. Lovely pint and some crisps but not what I was hoping for.

Very welcoming and went over and above for dogs. Even a dog menu! Had cosy “local livingroom vibes” Would recommend!

Love this pub! The food is just fine for what it is but the atmosphere and interior are so cozy and so beautiful. I usually do a long days walking in the surrounding hills of the Cotswolds then nip here to have a bite to eat, a pint, and take in the beautiful sunset from any of the large windows at the back. Great team who look after the place. A very local vibe.

Every time I've been to The Mount Inn, I've been impressed with the delicious food and excellent service. Highly recommend their Sunday Roast.

The landlords are wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. They were attentive and even remembered me from my last visit. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and the community is so kind. The duck was to die for and the open fire was the icing on the cake. I can’t wait to return! My pub away from home.

Absolutely fantastic food, lovely experience and very welcoming hosts. Our dog Winnie also loved stopping by! Highly recommended.

Lovely friendly pub and staff. Food was excellent.

Lovely pub, amazing food and very welcoming…

Wonderfully festive atmosphere in quintessential Cotswold village setting. Welcoming open fire. Superb menu range, freshly cooked, generous tasty portions. Reasonable prices and excellent friendly hosts. We'll be back at daffodil time. Thank you both x

We stumbled in to this cracking pub on the end of an autumnal walk through some wonderful Cotswold countryside. Lovely welcome and cosy atmosphere with a log fire going. The lunchtime food being served looked great so we decided to return the following evening for dinner. Equally warm welcome and now we’re able to vouch for wonderful food as well. We opted for one of the specials although the regular plates looked equally as good. We’d stayed in Broadway for several days but this was the best food we’d had during the trip and well worth the drive to get there.

Set in a stunning Cotswold village with exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. Lovely little pub, open fires, dog friendly, the food was exceptional. I highly recommend booking a table. We were lucky to get seated without a booking. The pies were delicious and served with great homegrown vegetables and chips. We will definitely be going back and look forward to trying their Sunday roasts.

Enjoyed a fab Sunday roast in this lovely pub in an idyllic setting. The portions were very generous, service was great and they looked after our Jack Russel, and he even had his own menu lol. Will definitely return if we are back in the area.

An excellent lunch with friendly service and some local beers, arranged for a group of us by a friend who lives in the village. Stanton is predominately a village of honey coloured stone properties that lies on the Cotswold Way which passes by the pub, which sits high up a steep road. Even if driving there’s a steep slope then steps down to the entrance. Lots of outdoor seating for summer views. Portions are substantial - we saw a mezze platter at a nearby table that would easily cover more than the 2-3 stated, and all of our mains and desserts were excellent. The main menu is very short, but the specials extensive and varied with many fresh veg seeming to come from the pub garden. I suspect booking is essential

Excelente todo! Comida, servicio y vistas.

Stunning views from a pub in a pretty Cotswold village. Only called in for a drink. Saw some delicious looking Sunday lunches being taken to tables. Hope to return for one myself!

I just wish I had read all the reviews about how rude the manager/landlady is!! From when we first stepped into the pub we were greeted with a frosty reception and no smile. We sat outside and the view is lovely but unfortunately the terrible customer service ruined the whole experience for us. We politely had to complain about one meal as the fish had a funny taste but the manager was very defensive and basically wasn’t going to listen to anything we had to say! No apology was given at any point. We asked for a refund on the one meal which was given. Just very rude and lacking in basic customer service which you’d think most pubs pride themselves on. A smile and friendly service goes a long way!!

Absolutely loved the chips! Will definitely return.

What a beautiful place to stop for a drink and enjoy the view, there is a beer garden area, a restaurant area inside which is lovely and a balcony area. To eat in the restaurant I would book a table as it is busy and reserved. If you eat outside there is a lite bites separate menu you can order from and I must say wow, it was amazing quality.
