The Stirrup Cup in Stroud

We booked for dinner here tonight Saturday 30th March, based on the food reviews and they did not disappoint. The food was amazing, my husband had the soup and burger both of which he said were the best he had ever tasted. I had the cod and again cooked to perfection. Thank you for a lovely dinner.

As usual, this pub is the absolute epitome of every thing I dream a pub would be. Especially in a Cotswold village Amazing landlord, fantastic staff and the food is fantastic!!! A really great mix of people, from locals I know, through an expirenced gentleman cycling to a not so near village in the dark, to a music group in leathers who I had a great laugh and chat to... This is The Field Of Dreams, where all types of people, from all backgrounds, and all different rungs of the social ladder will gather, remember, come together for a laugh, cross perceived boundaries, banter and cajole , but will always help you leave happy and wanting to make the world a better place! I honestly cannot recommend this pub enough. It truly is a genuine traditional village pub, and by Jove, they do SO much to support the Village and the Church, the Fete etc... I drank in Mayfair and around Fleet St/ Royal Courts of Justice for many years, and I have to say, apart from all of us going to a service at St Bride's in Fleet Street ALL those year's ago for Diana's funeral.. an unforgettable period of time... this landlord, these staff, this pub... they remind me of this! FANTASTIC food, great landlord, great staff, great pub, great village. Special!

We have just had the most amazing meal at the Stirrup cup. Food as always is faultless and such a warm friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended if you are after a relaxed and chilled evening. Just perfect x

The Stirrup Cup is a wonderful little gem of the Stroud area and is definitely worth a visit. I went on a Wednesday evening with my wife and upon entering the pub we were warmly greeted by the member of staff on the bar. We had reserved in advance and were shown to our table in the window before being asked what we would like to drink. The landlord Julian (who is also the chef) came out to say hello and then we were given the menu to peruse. It was a nice surprise to be presented with a simple uncomplicated menu and as a vegetarian there was enough choice for me too. I had the halloumi burger and my wife had the ham and egg. The food came out in a timely manner and was lovely as were the desserts that we chose too (Eton mess and sticky toffee pudding). The decor of the pub is traditional and inviting and we had a lovely meal that was well cooked and presented. All in all this pub is a must visit it you're in the area.

What a fabulous place, the food was wonderful and the staff so friendly. Our meal was the best and tastiest we have eaten in a long time. We can't wait to return, an absolute gem of a place.

Lovely well presented food. Definitely worth a visit and will return next time I am in Gloucestershire. Friendly locals and the staff were really kind and attentive even though they were very busy. We were indeed very happy with our food which was nutritious, well presented and cooked to perfection. Congratulations Team Stirrup Cup definitely my kind of pub. Very reasonable priced food and drinks for the area. Steak with all the trimmings, roast pork belly with creamed potatoes, roast carrots, Salmon,prawn and asparagus pie with a very generous portion of fresh veggies and beautiful buttery mash potatoes + 3 drinks for £50. Couldn't fault it. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Awesome food (recommend the roast beef) in the nicest Cotswolds village. This is such a special pub - a proper local that is so welcoming of us townie tourists. Loved it so much we went there 3 times in one weekend. Thank you to Eve, Bev and Julian - the most hospitable hosts and incredible chefs! I hope we'll be back soon. Thank you!!

What a great place. The food was first class, but above that the service was amazing. If your visiting this part of the country then its well worth a visit. Ps, sorry about the photo, but the Sticky Toffee Pudding didn't last long enough.... it was gorgeous.

I called in for a drink whilst exploring the village and walking our dog. Pleasant pub with a good choice of beers. One of 2 pubs in the village

We had a table of 16 people for a Christmas meal. The food was exceptional, generous portions, that were piping hot. Served by excellent staff. We couldn’t have asked for more! Highly recommend

Yesterday Julian and his staff delivered a fantastic Sunday Lunch to our family of 28 people . The food was beautifully cooked and all the veg was freshly prepared and cooked. The meals was priced well and delivered by a wonderful team . Julian even got a round of applause for his excellence. Thank you from our English and Scottish family . Anne & Rob

We really wanted a Great British Pub Meal. And we'd been to this pub before and got exactly that on our past visit. This time it was really disappointing to be served 'freezer to fryer' fare - and pretty average fare at that. It was a nice pint - I had another (yes, the beer seems good) but there's not much positive to say about the food. Covid or not, this is poor. There was almost more staff than customers so that wasn't the problem. There's lots of other options in the area - folks will vote with their feet. I know we sadly won't be back.

Quite possibly the nicest place I've been to in a long time. Thanks to Polly for fantastic service and the whole team at the stirrup very impressive! 10/10.

Great village pub. Very welcoming staff. Good value and excellent lunch. Also a very attractive "upstairs " beer garden. High hygiene standards. Definitely will return

We were lucky enough to find this little gem on our recent travels. Everything about this place is perfect, the food, the beer and the ever so friendly staff & landlord. Would strong advise a visit.

Stirrup cup definitely worth a visit if you are in the cotswolds. Julian and his team truly amazing, food was exceptional and if you have a family member with any food allergies highly recommend, amazing communication and produced amazing safe choices. Thank you to Julian and his amazing team for amazing food, service and setting.

If you are in The Cotswolds, you must visit the Stirrup Cup in Bisley. Julian and his professional team offer good old fashioned excellent personal service with a smile and not to forget awesome food, the beers not bad either😂 If you need accommodation Dove Cottage Direct or on booking.com is the place to stay whilst Julian and his team look after you at this excellent village pub.

Bisley es un pueblo muy tranquilo, totalmente no comercializado que bien merece una visita mientras se conduce suavemente en coche por los Cotswolds.El propietario y la casera del establecimiento no podrían haber sido más agradables y la Guinness extra fría fue la mejor que he probado en mi vida.Le deseamos mucha suerte en estos tiempos difíciles.

Sensational Friday night Fish & Chips. Ordered through FaceBook day before. Agreed time. Easy payment and collection and the fish and chips were amazing. Great work Team Stirrup 👍👍

En estos tiempos difíciles, es genial encontrar un lugar que ofrezca excelente comida para llevar, el almuerzo del domingo es excelente. Los tiempos de recogida están espaciados siguiendo pautas de distanciamiento social y la comida está perfectamente empaquetada, porciones abundantes y cocida a la perfección para que se pueda calentar en el horno o microondas al llegar a casa sin que las verduras se vuelvan blandas.Muy recomendable, ¡pero no aceptes mi espacio de recogida!

¡Guauu! ! ¡Bien, qué puedo decir! ¡Este pub es increíble! ¡El servicio y la comida es espectacular! Siempre disfrutamos de nuestras comidas aquí. Recientemente pedimos un asado para llevar dos semanas seguidas y ¡fue tan encantador! ¡Lo disfrutamos muchísimo! Julian y Helen son tan encantadores y te hacen sentir como parte de la familia. Siempre sonriendo y siempre haciendo un esfuerzo adicional para que su experiencia culinaria sea la mejor posible. ¡Definitivamente volveremos a pedir y cenar!

Comenzó con las gambas y el paté que ambos llegaron muy bien, la comida era deliciosa! Para los platos principales tuvimos la panceta de cerdo con verduras asadas y puré, nuevamente presentación encantadora y el sabor fue perfecto, cada parte de la comida complementando a la siguiente. El personal fue amable en la bienvenida y durante toda la comida, el chef vino a comprobar si la comida era buena, lo que hizo que la experiencia fuera amable y nos sentimos atentos. Sobre todo hermoso pequeño pub y comida fantástica! ! Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera que quiera buena comida con un verdadero ambiente de pub.

The Stirrup Cup doesn’t pretend to be a gastropub- it is basically a decent pub offering a range of staple dishes and daily specials. The staff are friendly and helpful, the food at lunchtime perfectly adequate and well priced - and the beer is always very well kept. Do expect fine dining and you shouldn’t be disappointed. Expect Lunch with drinks to be £15 plus a head which is excellent value.

Fuimos a la Stirrup Cup un sábado por la noche, una mesa de 4. Mis padres tenían el plato de paté que disfrutaron muchísimo y consideramos que teníamos un pan encantador, que no estaba en el menú. Los platos principales eran muy buenos, en particular el pastel de pollo, y a un precio razonable con poriones de buen tamaño. Estábamos demasiado llenos para postres pero una buena selección ofrecida con helado a un precio muy razonable en 1. 50 por cucharada. También encantador ambiente y decoración. Definitivamente volveremos pronto.

Al quedarnos con la hija, el yerno y el nuevo bebé en Giffords Circus cerca, éramos reservadores de última hora para el almuerzo, la primera visita para todos. Bienvenida amistosa y buen rollo sobre el lugar con un '70 th' pasando en la habitación de al lado. La única queja menor (que veo mencionada en otras críticas) es simplemente asados en el menú, suponiendo que solo sea un domingo, un par de cosas adicionales habrían sido bienvenidas (¿vi una crítica de un gran pastel?!). . . Dicho esto, eran muy buenas y cosas simples como las buenas verduras hacen toda la diferencia. Postres disfrutados también. . . Esperamos un viaje de regreso pronto.

We were trying to find somewhere to eat on the way to visit family and found this winderful pub.One of the locals recommended the Sunday roast. This was an excellent choice! The great thing is they had the option of a smaller portion, perfect for smaller appetites.The food was beautifully presented and served with freshly cooked vegetables and a cauliflower cheese that was as good as my homemade perfectly cheesy and I would say a hint of colemans mustards! Delicious. Added to this it came with a piping hot jug of gravy, so often there is not enough when served in the meal.The staff were pleasant and friendly, I would highly recommrnd this lovely pub.

The service and food were excellant. Don't be put off be the relativily short menu. The choice was adequate and the two meals we chose were very enjoyable. At £12 for most meals and £17 for a large steak with a good choice of sauces the prices were very reasonable. The portions were more than adequate

Excellent welcome and very efficient, pleasant service. The menu is quite short, and a bit light on home made as opposed to bought in starters. The soup though was delicious as was the belly pork. The atmosphere in the pub is very cheerful with talkative locals. Definitely to be recommended.

What a find! We recently visited the Stirrup Cup for a Sunday roast. On entering the pub we were given a warm welcome and shown to our table. The service was very good and the food delicious - one of the best roasts I have ever eaten. Unfortunately I was too full to have dessert but I did sample my husband’s crumble which again was delicious.

From the outside we expected a more "oldy worldy" country pub but it was very bright and modern inside so not really what we had hoped for but still nice. Food was just ok, beer was good!

After many years we revisited The Stirrup Cup and it was great! Much brighter than it used to be and altogether a more modern (yet sympathetic) feel.

If it’s your first visit to this pub, it helps to be psychic because you are supposed to guess that menus are not offered on Sundays; one has to select from options chalked on a small blackboard opposite the door. Regulars know the system: visitors do not.

I took my mum for lunch to celebrate her birthday, we both opted to go straight for a main course, we each ordered Pork belly with Tewksbury mustard mash, roasted root potatoes and cider cream sauce..

We stopped by for their Sunday roast and had an excellent meal — chicken and pork, with potatoes and a variety of vegetables. It was delicious and filling without leaving us feeling stuffed. Can’t wait to go back!

We visited the Stirrup Cup for an evening meal. Good menu selection and they also have a special's board. We both choose the Belly Pork, beautifully presented and was delicious

Me alojé en Painswick pero encontré este pub en TripAdvisor

Visitamos The Stirrup Cup en una noche muy tranquila, así que realmente no sabíamos qué esperar. Ambos tuvimos el Belly Pork, que fue increíble. Era tan tierna y sabrosa. Una de las mejores comidas de pub que he tenido. mi postre Sticky Toffee Pudding fue igual de bueno.

Best lunch we've had in a while. Great service, very kind people. I can definitely recommend the bacon&brie; sandwich or the burger!!

Encontramos este pub por casualidad mientras caminábamos el domingo pasado, después de haber abierto el apetito. A pesar de tener un registro para decir que estaban llenos el personal muy amablemente nos exprimió en! Muy complacidos, ya que el asado del domingo estuvo delicioso, el mejor que hemos tenido durante mucho tiempo, cada elemento del plato se cocinó a la perfección. Tuve un delicioso asado de nueces y mi compañero fue por el pollo asado. El personal fue muy amable a pesar de que se apresuraron con una fiesta de bautismo de 40 +. ¡Qué pena que no vivamos más cerca volveríamos este fin de semana!

The food was exceptionally good - belly pork amazing (tender, tasty with crunchy crackling) and the chicken pie was homemade. Fabulous sticky toffee pudding. Really welcoming and friendly service. Shall definitely go again.

Se dejó caer en este lugar después de un paseo de 7 millas alrededor de los Cotswolds. Hubo una cálida bienvenida por parte de todo el personal. Elegí el Belly Pork, que era excelente, y mi esposa eligió el bistec con hongos, que era encantador. Una buena pinta o 2 de Butcombe lavaron la comida. Un gran pub.

Popped in for a lunch rather late in the day to find 'sold out'. About to leave but the bar staff ran to the kitchen to check and was delighted to be told they could squeeze us in. There was certainly no small prtions - they weren't scraping the pot out to feed us, the veg was spot on, meat tender and juicy. All served on hot plates with plenty of gravy and condiments offered. Really good wine list and the beer was quite delicious too. Will be back, highly recommend to anyone wanting a decent Sunday roast. Could spend the whole afternoon there, may well next time.

The Stirrup Cup is located in a very picturesque village on what can be quite a busy country road junction. However, it is inside the 20mph speed limit so there should not be any speeding traffic.

4 of us each had different meals and they were all delicious , served on hot plates too !The gammon steak was particularly good , best ever and all in a lovely comfortable restauarent

An excellent little pub in a small village an absoloute classic. Sunday roast was amazing great serving size at a very reasonable price.

No podemos hablar mejor de este pub, es un verdadero centro local con cervezas y una fabulosa selección de gins.

A nice, well presented pub. Lights too bright but great service and friendly welcome. Dinner of a good standard...fairly uninspired but done well and with skill. Pork belly with a sweet creamy sauce.

Excellent place for food and drinks. Very friendly. The owner and bar manager went above and beyond for us which was really appreciated. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

Visited with friends for a Sunday Roast. The food was amazing and the staff were welcoming and attentive. Would highly recommend a visit.

Mi amigo y yo visitamos un miércoles para el almuerzo. Parecía haber solo dos miembros del personal trabajando, el chef y la camarera / camarera. La bienvenida fue muy cálida y el servicio fue excelente. Los dos teníamos solo un plato principal cada uno, que era un pollo y un pastel de fugas y un cerdo asado con pan de mostaza y verduras. Ambas comidas fueron excelentes. La carne en el pastel de pollo consistía en trozos abundantes y la barriga de cerdo con crujido que se derretía en la boca.

Friendly staff, contemporary decor, clean/modern, dog friendly (with treats on offer), polite welcome, prompt service (for drinks, order & food delivery).

My daughter recently held her wedding reception here. Has a large private room with tables and chairs along with a bar. There were about 60 guests, and room was large enough. We also used the adjoining grass area that also had seating plus a bouncy castle for children, Food was great. Parking is a bit hit and miss as only room for a handful of cars in the car park.Highly recommended

The Sunday Roast is one of the best in Gloucestershire. The pub has friendly bar staff and a really good selsection of booze. You won’t be disappointed.

We couldn't quite work out whether it was a pub or a social club but very friendly all the same & very popular with the 'locals'.

Yes hands up I am a local and wish the Stirrup Cup every success.However have not only enjoyed but have been pleased beyond expectation with the roasts presented to me in the last few weeks.The first was on mothers day when the pub was packed with diners,everyone had their table and no one felt shoe horned in,we had 8 on our table and all our food arrived at the same time and all diners were really complimentary about their meal.Today we returned and were not disappointed we both went for the roast beef which was superb,5 different vegetables plus roast potatoes and melt in the mouth beef,attentive service and a great village pub vibe going on around us but not intrusive..If in the area I would suggest this pub for an excellent Sunday roast give it a try!!

Thoroughly enjoyable Roast dinner at the stirrup cup in Bisley. Nice atmosphere as well. A cosy little village pub with a roaring open fire. One of my friends who is unfortunately a vegetarian had the nut roast and gave it 10/10. Lovely Yorkshire puddings and the deserts were also very nice. Will defo go again.

This pub/restaurant is under new management.

The Stirrup did us proud for a family Sunday lunch. We were given an immediate and warm welcome and our waitress seated us near the fire. The atmosphere was congenial with a mix of diners and friendly locals popping in for a drink. The service was attentive and friendly but not intrusive.

First time visit for a snack lunch for three of us on the Saturday before Christmas.

Popped to The Stirrup Cup for a Sunday roast and the food was exceptional! Lovely large portions of veg and delicious beef. Children’s portions were great value and the kids cleared their plates

Julian and his team hosted the Gloucester Ramblers at lunchtime on 29th November 2017. We were all made very welcome, enjoyed lovely meals and were impressed by the care taken to prepare an extended restaurant table for us to sit and eat together. Very pleased we chose the Stirrup Cup as our end of walk venue.

Julian and his staff provided an excellent lunch, preordered from the walker's menu, for our walking group of 32. The...

I moved to the village in August this year and have eaten at the pub several times - each time...

The Stirrup has been given a lick of paint & some other decorative changes, so looking good :) The staff...

We turned up without a booking but were made very welcome. Large helpings, including lots of veg. Especially good for...

Very enjoyable Sunday lunch. No shortage of veg & gravy. Special mention for apple & blackberry crumble with proper thick custard!

Great find - again somewhat limited in the car park, but again, it's not a chain restaurant...thank goodness. Very friendly welcome and always a great selection of ales/ciders. Great for lunch/dinner etc. Very welcoming for children as well. Some neat ideas on decor too - particularly the hand wash.

Good pint friendly relaxed atmosphere but the decor is somewhat dated, but do you go to a pub for the decor?

I recently celebrated my sons christening at the Stirrup Cup and it was a wonderful day, with excellent food and excellent service. In the lead up to the event Julian could not have helped any more, he was so supportive with food ideas, how the pub would be set out for the day and actually allowing us to take over the pub on a Saturday lunchtime so we could have our own private party, nothing was too much trouble. The service and food on the day was amazing, Julian and his team went out of their way to make sure everything was special and went to plan including decorating the room and providing complimentary Pimms and looking after all our requests. There were many comments from our guests on how amazing the food was. Thank you all for a day we will never forget and we will be back.

My family and I visited the Stirrup Cup today for Sunday lunch, when we arrived the pub was busy it had a great vibrant atmosphere, we were seated promptly and the waitress took our drinks order. My initial thought was that we would be in for a bit of a wait for food as it was clearly already very busy. The waitress was back after a short while and took our food order. We were with our 3 year old daughter and it wasn't a problem to have a child's size roast (this is not always the case in some pubs).Within 10-15minutes we were served 5 adult roast dinners and a child's. We had a massive bowl of veg, cauliflower cheese and loads of gravy. The waitress then told us that we could have more cauliflower cheese and veg if we would like it. It's a nice touch, in some restaurants it can be a little awkward to ask for more.I had the beef, it was divine, and the yorkie was a proper homemade delight.The rest of my family also raved about the quality of the meal, great value at £12.Do yourself a favour, get along to this little Cotswold gem of a place. I will definitely be paying another visit.

After a nice walk around Bisley with our dog, we visited the Stirrup Cup, which is recently under new ownership. We had a freshly cooked lunch in the dog friendly bar, the pub is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Good luck to the new owners.

A group of us stopped here while walking part of the Wysis Way on a sunny Saturday.We had pre-ordered food which was served quickly . Food was average pub fare but the pie of the day drew delighted comments . The pub is clean and simply furnished with some seating by the roadside

Myself and my wife went for a meal here this evening and we were both very happy with our meals and the service we were given, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be returning.

Been meaning to try it out since it has changed hands but just never got round to it. What a mistake!!Sunday lunch was brilliant. Lovely beef and homemade Yorkshire pudding Great cauliflower cheese with proper cheese sauce and nice fresh veg selection. Massive jug of great flavoursome gravy. One of the best eat out Sunday Lunches we have had for may a long time. WELL DONE TO YOU ALL We will be back for sure

I lunched here with two friends, having heard it had been taken over by the nearby Falcon in Painswick, where we have always eaten well.There were very few in the pub having lunch, and it was not very warm (we kept our coats on!).The real ale was good, but the food was bland and certainly nowhere near the standard of the Falcon.

After eating in many establishments the stirrup cup is by far the best.I now eat dinner here at least once a week. Katie the chef is always acconadating as are all staff.The stirrup cup has a very friendly and warm feel about it, and I will continuing to return for years to come.

Three of our party had a good meal here. Unfortunately my fish was way too salty as was the fennel. They offered to re cook it but, not wanting to cause a fuss, I soldered on. I wish that I hadn't as I didn't enjoy the meal at all. Everybody else had a good meal so it could have been a one off and I will give it another try as this is my first time since the new owner. They also didn't bring the bill for some time after it was requested (the second waitress did bring it quickly after we re-requested).

The food was good staff friendly. The decor was nice too. Went in with my wife on a day out. Would definitely go back again.

Incredible food. You must try the ham and mustard sandwich it's so good! Very spacious and good lighting. Great for llegar kinds of visits...family, friends etc. Helpful staff who cater for dairy free eaters too. I love coming here. Prices are slightly expensive but reasonable for the quality of the food I think.

Brilliant food loved every bit off are visit will definitely be going back again and again staff so welcoming and a brilliant atmosphere!

Dropped in on a recce prior to arranging big annual walk/lunch with old London friends.We had used the Stirrup Cup before when it had been run by the excellent host Phil?..now at the Butchers Arms in Oakridge, I gather....so had high hopes we could bring our friends here again after a suitable hike up the Toadsmoor Valley.Well....we probably won't, sadly. Nothing especially wrong, just a few niggles: The squid we had wasn't crispy in it's panko batter, despite it being very quiet and kitchen therefore under no pressure, (very small portion too), and there was a rather annoying and distracting amount of piped music played just a little bit too loud.Would certainly give it another try in the future as it looks really nice and the food was not bad bearing in mind we only tried one starter...but I really don't expect to go to a country pub and have to listen to Coldplay or similar if I don't want to...it's simply not the right environment. Asked for it to be turned down in my area but they turned it up!

I was lucky enough to win a competition to have lunch at The Stirrup Cup, and I was not disappointed! The food was gorgeous, the staff were very attentive, they had a great selection of wine and ales!Looking forward to trying out the Sunday Roast next time we visit - which will be very soon!PS they allow dogs in the pub too :)

Visited with a couple of friends & had a very nice meal. Staff were very helpful & friendly. Had to wait a while to pay at the end but otherwise a good experience.

I enjoyed 'Pie of the Week' and partner's Fish and Chips were excellent, however vegetarian risotto was disappointing and service a bit slow. Generous portions but a tad pricey for pub food ..£6 desserts ..but good. Atmospheric village pub ..recommended.

The new landlord and landlady have done a wonderful job of turning the previously tired pub into a warm, welcoming and cosy place. It has been beautifully redecorated and has such a lovely atmosphere - it really feels like the heart of the village! It is the perfect place to have a beer with friends or a sunday roast with family. Would highly recommend! Dogs are welcome too :)

Went with a friend for dinner. Very pleasant and clean country put that's been given a freshen up. Tables were booked up but they accommodated us in the bar area. Menu choice was good. Shared a starter and I had Ox Cheek which was absolutely delicious and beautifully soft. My friend had the risotto and said it was fine. We had 2 desserts which the owners wife makes and they were really good-sticky toffee and a Pannacotta. All portions were substantial. Would happily go back. Really nice staff too.

Fantastic to have our local Pub back with lovely hosts with excellent chef servingfantastic food and puddings made by the Landlady' Lucy' you must try them. Can't get enough of them.Excellent Sunday lunch, excellent value, nice to have your own veg and gravy portion,not having to fight for the last potato!Menu always changing so always a new delight to try.Well done and thank you Charlie & Lucy

A number of our local pubs have changed hands recently with varied results, so it was a pleasure to visit the Stirrup Cup last week to find a cosy pub with welcoming hosts and a really promising menu. We ate liver and bacon with a bubble and squeak cake and slow cooked ox cheek with horseradish mash: both delicious and very substantial. It was hard to choose, so we'll be back soon to sample more. Good luck to the new owners!

A great evening meal with a group of friends. Excellent service, fantastic food and reasonably priced wine... What more could anyone want??

Had Sunday lunch, it was the best Beef lunch in a long time. the staff were great and the atmosphere pleasant.

We had heard a new young couple had taken on the stirrup cup. So we gave it a visit and the food and staff were spot on. Would recommend to other people to try. Even for a drink. Think with a little hard work the new couple will make a go of the stirrup cup. Now knowing family own the falcon at painswick will give that a visit soon

Sunday lunch was perfect..especially port crackling and cauliflower cheeseNot all opened yet and decor a bit stark, but only been under this management for a month....As long as food stays this good and with Lucy's energy and imagination I'm sure this is going to be a great success

We had a lovely meal last night. Delicious Butternet Squash Risotto, tasty gammon with creamy cauliflower cheese and two superb fish pies. Quantities were ample and service friendly. Charlie and Lucy have made it a very welcoming place.

We had heard that Charlie & Lucy had recently taken over the Stirrup Cup and just knew that it would be worth a visit. Having used the Falcon in Painswick many times, (Which their family also own), we were not disappointed to see that the same style and customer service has come to Bisley. Only after their first full week of trading the pub was buzzing with diners, locals calling in for a quick pint and walkers enjoying a coffee. Having booked a table we took the dog for a lovely circular walk along the valley to return to a gorgeous Sunday roast, which left me full to bursting. One of our party had the butternut squash risotto, which was well presented and very tasty. My wife had the chicken pie which was packed with meat and lovely. We opted for puddings which in turn were also delightful. The menu was varied and the ingredients locally sourced. We will certainly be returning to sample the evening menu. You can just see that Lucy & Charlie have got it right.

Welcomed by friendly new landlords and a roaring log fire. Food was beautifully presented and the service was excellent! Great place for morning coffee and cake, lunch and a walk, or equally good for an evening meal by the fire. Have now been for lunch and an evening meal on separate occasions, and will definitely be returning!

I have a vague and distant memory of this having been a lovely cosy country pub once upon a time - all that has been ripped out now leaving a stark, barren place lacking any comfort and an atmosphere I can only describe as awkward. Maybe that's why it was empty at peak Sunday lunch eating time.This is a shame as the owners clearly mean well and try very hard. The roast dinners we had were tasty and really nicely presented, but the portions were surprisingly small. We didn't feel like prolonging our stay with dessert.Neither of us could get through the impenetrable wifi signup procedure.

Found this pub by complete accident when following re-direction signs on our way between Cirencester and Brockworth. What a lucky pair we are! The food we have enjoyed there is absolutely delicious. George has excelled himself making us feel completely at home and serving us with restaurant quality food at pub prices. I am vegetarian and don't often get such lovely tasty food in local pubs. We have returned there a couple of times now and have not been disappointed. Just wish it was a teensy weensy bit closer to home! Thank you George.

Chose to close for holiday on Ban Holiday Sunday- extraordinary!!Had a look at menu which was interesting - a lot of spicy elements; is that from theirNationality background.?

Upon entry of the "Stirrup Cup" we was met with a warm welcome by the owner. I had a pint of bitter, "The Stroud" which was nice. That was where it ended!!! I ordered the chicken breast and it was embarrassing!! The breast was tiny, I had 2 cauliflower florets, 4 French beans, 3 tiny roast potatoes, and 2 shavings of a carrot!!! To boot it was £11.90!!!!! I would have been embarrassed to have served it to a child!!!! The gravy that came with it was like dishwater, and after I nearly ate all of the breast, blood was coming out of it!!! The family members I was with were embarrassed for me as I was the biggest person there and my meal was so pathetic!!! My wife even joked that I should have picked something else!! I would have done but the menu was pathetic also. You had a limited choice of:28 day mature beefCodPork bellyNut RoastOr the pigeon (aka Chicken)I feel this restaurant wont be open for long as they don't give value for money, the portion sizes are laughable, and upon evidence it was dead. Other than us four there was two other couples in there. If the "Stirrup Cup" was any good wouldn't half of Bisley be in there having they're Sunday dinner!!!! I have been to Bisley a couple of times to visit family, and I envisage many many more visits, however, I will never pay this restaurant a visit ever ever again!!!

Possibly the best Sunday lunch I've ever eaten. Great food and good service. Good atmosphere and dog friendly. Follow a nice dog walk with a trip for a bite to eat.
