One star on food because I didn't have any. Service was what I would expect one bar staff gave exceptional service. Atmosphere was lively but I definitely got the impression it had some idiots in the place that night. Definitely will be going back again

What a great little find. In all the years I’ve lived in the county never even knew of this place. We stopped for a pint whilst waiting for a carol concert at the nearby stunning Gloucester Cathedral. We were served quickly and the beer was very tasty. This pub is a great reason for why people should start using pubs again like we used to. Buying alcohol from the supermarket isn’t really the same is it? Maybe pub chains need a bit of marketing to get out out again. Well done the Sword Inn, we shall definitely be back.

Love this pub , I live in Cheltenham and come over to the sword , it’s a lovely atmosphere and friendly , i and my partner are Gay and it’s lovely to be able to come to a pub that feels to be LGBT friendly, certainly non judgemental to whoever you are. I’m spreading the word around to other gay friends to try visiting the Sword , I think they will be pleasantly surprised. Well done to all staff , your an inspiration to the LGBT community . Adrian

What a joke of a pub... booked 3 local live music groups as a Halloween spectacular. Stopped the whole programme during the first set because their regular clientele didn't find it entertaining. These are local musicians with a huge following, many of whom had turned up in costume for Halloween. To stop a musician mid set to turn on your horrible cd music is an insult. What a lot of custom and money you lost on what was promising to be a great night. Rest assured none of those people will return to your establishment and I personally will ensure through social media that everyone knows you're unreliable, untrustworthy, rude and cruel.

Had a great time at The Sword Inn. A quick visit from London - on a lazy Sunday afternoon- friendly staff and extremely inexpensive drinks (did a double take on how cheap)! We were happy to stay for a while. Plenty of TVs to watch all sports on ... great music. The locals were super friendly and kind- exchanged great stories - would definitely recommend!

I had my Baby Shower here. There were 11 of us in total and we all had afternoon tea which consisted of four delicious courses and unlimited teas, coffees, hot chocolates and water. The food was so good and the service was outstanding. Sharon was so accommodating and friendly and no request was too big. The staff went to the trouble of decorating the chairs for us too! It was a really lovely afternoon full of laughter, yummy food and excellent service and I cannot fault it at all! Highly recommend to everyone wanting a quaint, friendly and intimate setting that serve delicious food and go above and beyond.

The furniture is in need of replacement, as it no longer meets the expected standard of comfort or aesthetics. The quality of the food varies, being satisfactory on some occasions while falling short on others. Additionally, the tables are frequently unclean, often left with remnants from previous customers. However, the staff remains consistently courteous and approachable, providing a positive interaction for guests.
