Ye Olde Hobnails Inn in Tewkesbury

Great food, great service, what more can I say. Well worth the drive from Cheltenham to eat at The Hobnails. See you again soon.

Chose Ye Old Hobnails for a Sunday roast as we have been before and it was excellent but not sure what’s happened change of ownership,management and staff? Booked a table for 4 with a young child which we had to squeeze into an area which wasn’t comfortable, we ordered our food which came promptly which was fine, I had to ask for the rest of the trimmings ie stuffing and crackling as it hadn’t turned up. We had Pork and Beef it was presented nicely but only two small slices of meat and potatoes on each plate 1 small dish of mixed veg and 1 cauliflower cheese for the 4 of us. The roast potatoes were under cooked other mixed veg was ok the only thing that was tasty was the cauliflower cheese. We were all very disappointed with our meal and for £74 felt very much out of pocket. Such a shame that it’s gone downhill as it used to be fantastic food we will not be going back, we didn’t complain like true Brits as we didn’t want the hassle I paid and promptly left.

Very warm and welcoming service with great staff (MJ and Emma!). The food was lovely, with great portion sizes. Would recommend to anybody looking for a relaxed meal with family, we will be back for that 1/2 pint glass !! 🤣

Food came out, lukewarm warm, kids received there’s last, asked for sauces 3 times and still not arrived, one meal forgotten had to ask. Veg to accompany the meal came last. I feel for a 70th family meal the service was poor and things were forgotten customer service needs work Very unhappy with this today About time as a paying customer we all need speak up!!

Lovely pub and great staff.Unfortunately the food was not up to scratch.We had roast dinners.The food especially the plated vegetables and meat were lukewarm. 2 roast potatoes !A piece of parsnip(stone cold) and very small amount of gravy.But the Yorkshire was lovely.Puddings were good !Such a shame as we were looking forward to eating there and came out disappointed.

Dropped in on way home from a day out today. Lovely welcome from host and staff, very good meal, tasty and hot. Would recommend.

It was our daughter’s birthday so we stopped for lunch. The quality and portion size is great. I had the last portion of steak and ale pie Wow, it was so tasty. My wife and daughter were well impressed with their food. We will be back soon.

My first time eating at The Hobnails and I wasn't disappointed. I have a big appetite so I had the mixed grill and struggled to finish it. The portion size was huge and all the food was cooked to perfection. My wife had the fish and chips which was enormous. We also had our dog with us (large boxer), he was welcomed inside by Bill with a bowl of water and 2 gravy bones along with the doggy menu! Awesome 👍 My daughter played on the outdoor play area while we sat and having a after dinner drinks in the sun. Honestly couldn't have made all of us feel anymore welcome. Can't wait to return

First time coming since it's been taken over by new management. One word it was fantastic,very warm welcome ,lots of choices on the menu. The portion size of the food was great. There were 10 of us ,the lovely Mj took our food and drink order it did not take long for the food to come out it was nice and hot all the food came together, we really enjoyed ourselves will be definitely coming again ,i can say hand on heart one of the best pubs around keep up the fabulous work xx

Great food! Steak Night menu is really good value for money and lovely meals. Lovely staff, particularly Mary Jane! We'll be back soon!

Lovely old pub very welcoming only £10 for a light lunch so really good value and camping is available opposite from plotsuk.com if you want to stay over no rooms in the inn

Party of 8 of us with a small dog. We had booked and arrived for 6.30pm. Man behind bar brusquely told us to sit outside with the dog. It was a glorious hot evening so that was no hardship. Ordered and paid at bar within 10 minutes of our arrival. 1 person served halloumi salad quite quickly. Other 7 waited well over an hour for food and that was only after one of us had been to enquire where it was. He was told "you only ordered half an hour ago" but at enquiry they'd already been waiting an hour - time of order was on the receipts! Food actually very good. Staff rude. Wait for food ridiculously long.

Really excellent food with very generous portions. Very large beer garden with plenty of activities for children. Will be back again.

Have been a few times over the last few months and each time have been very impressed. The service has been excellent with a very warm welcome and attentive staff. It was a lovely evening so sat outside for drinks and as the temperature dropped a bit moved inside to eat. Food was absolutely delicious, service was fantastic and such a lovely old building with so much character and charm. Will be recommending and definitely be returning. Thankyou to all the staff that made our visit worth the drive out from Tewkesbury!

An absolutely fabulous find, just 5 mins from where we are staying in Alderton. Dinner with my wife, we are both so impressed with everything… Totally welcoming, friendly brilliant Service, amazing food and seriously proper real Ale. As a Lancashire lad, this is my kind of Pub! Booking in again before we go home…

Came in with my walking group and was very impressed with the staff and food. The manager opened up for us to order before the walk – a surprising number of pubs don’t bother.After a hot walk, the staff were very welcoming. They showed us where to sit in the beautiful garden for shade and brought our much-needed drinks order promptly. I didn’t eat but the food that came out was beautifully presented and tasty. Those of us who hadn’t ordered wish we had!Based on this experience, I intend to go back for an evening meal.

First time back since it reopened. It was good before but its all gone up a notch, especially customer service. Lovely meal in beautiful setting outside. Perfect

Just moved to the area and heard about the reopening of the pub and restaurant, the food was amazing, all fresh with world class presentation!The manager and the team are a total credit to this place, all happy, very friendly and service was top class.Please see photos for some of the food, drink and settings.!!!Wow! Will definitely be back soon.

3 of us booked in for Sunday lunch. Absolutely excellent in every department. Friendly welcome, waitress service excellent and the food was top notch. Would not hesitate to return!

Only just reopened and so everyone still finding their feet a little but a really nice meal and excellent, friendly service. Nice selection of food. Haddock and chips delicious. Will be back soon to try the famous baps. Thank you.

We visited the pub yesterday 11th December, to meet up with my brother and sister in law, as we can’t get together Christmas What a lovley experience, the meal we had was gorgeous, the waiter couldn’t of been more accommodating and helpfulWe will definitely be back , as it is exactly half way for me and my brother to meetThankyou so much, merry Christmas

Me and hubby had a meal today here. And the courses were absolutely amazing. The waiter was very professional and looked after us throughout our courses. I didn't catch his name but we tipped him. If u read this your know who we are. Thank u. And we will be back as we also felt very safe too. Cheers and happy Christmas xx

We booked this in advance Jack kindly opened early for us (8am) We had the lot! Bacon, eggs/beans/hash browns/toast/sausages Difficult to fault difficult to finish the plate !

We decided to try The Hobnails as a birthday treat for my Father-in-law. This was our first visit since re-opening and we were most impressed. The Hobnails has been very tastefully re-vamped with lots of interesting individual dining spaces and a lovely old-world fustic feel throughout.The food was very good. We chose from the lunchtime deals were very pleased with the quality and portion sizes.Topped with friendly staff, we shall certainly return in the near future.Well done team!

Another delicious takeaway from the team at The Hobnails, such a shame we are back in our 2nd lock down or we would have booked a table.We both had the locally shot pheasant with all the usual Sunday roast trimmings.Also had the profiteroles as a puddingHave to say for £30 is really good value..Many Thanks again to Jack & team on duty today.

Today we enjoyed the Hobnails Sunday Roast Take Out,and have to say that both meals and service were outstanding...highly recommend. Will be back!! Thankyou so much Mr Hobnails🙂 Regards, Mrs Ruth😄

Arrived at this rustic historic inn to the aroma of a warming wood fire and were welcomed by the affable young Jack. We were escorted to our table passed the well stocked bar where I noticed a fine selection of non-alcoholic drinks, a pleasant change for the driver, so charged my glass with a Weston's 0.5 Stowford Press. Food order was taken promptly and we ordered two piping hot soups of the day (broccoli & stilton/rustic bread) and the stilton button mushrooms on french toast with a piquant creamy sauce. To follow, a fine rump steak grilled to perfection and ham, eggs 'n' chips. Sadly, the popular sea bass had sold out, but the accomodating chef conjured up a cod, potato and dill masterpiece with a lemon sauce. We were too full for pud, but we shall certainly be returning to see Jack and his friendly crew. First class.

Spent the evening here. Excellent food, great service, good choice of drinks.our waitress Chrissy was very helpful. Jack and Ward of the management team were great. Special mention to Ian for the best gravy ever. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Had a lovely time at hobnails on Saturday. The staff were very friendly and helpful and Covid restrictions were followed. The presentation and food was amazing. Would highly recommend!

Booked a table and had high hopes. I had lamb toast hubby beef roast. My lamb has been out in the frying pan and was tough and tasteless. 3 oily roast potatoes not edible, but nice veg and a Lovely Yorkshire pudding. Hubby said his was ok but he wouldn’t come back. Real shame for £14 for beef and £15 for lamb it’s over priced and very mediocre. Really sorry guys didn’t enjoy mine at all Love what they’ve done to the place. Clean and nice atmosphere but food not great

We booked a table on a whim ,it was Friday night and we were served by Gabby.She was great.....professional,attentive but not overbearing or too familiar which I dislike.I had the beef brisket which was delicious! The meat just fell apart and the horse radish mash was suberb! I like a lot of gravy ,and an extra jug of it was produced, as requested.My daughter had the fillet of beef, which she said was amazing!It was quite simply , one of the best pub meals we have ever had.It was a shame that the Hobnail was so quiet,(COVID ) ,and maybe it's due to being on a main road?? Everybody should visit....real fire ,suberb food and lovely staff!! Cheers,and hope to be back when in the area.

Have passed by here over time and this time decided to stop. Glad we did.Very clean and welcoming. Service was very good. It was the first day of masks for everyone in restaurants and service at the table. The food was lovely. I had pie of the day and my wife a Stilton and onion tart. All was nicely presented. The beers were good as well

I have just had one of the best meals out I think I have ever. The food here is unbelievable ! Simple yet ticks all the boxes. I would definitely recommend this to anybody. It was empty but the open fire and good food was all we needed. compliments to the chef and staff.

While camping in the area, we passed this Inn a few times. We decided on the last occasion to go in to dine. I now wish we had gone in every time we went past! My wife and I were warmly welcomed by the bar staff and shown to a lovely table next to the again. We both chose Cod and Chips. Now word of a lie, they were the best either of us had ever tasted. We also had a desert, my wife had the coconut panna cotta with chocolate ice cream while I had the brownie with vanilla ice cream. Again both top notch. Our meal was excellent value and the staff could not be friendlier or more helpful, given the present Covid 19 restrictions. I will definitely visit again.

Not been to Evesham for a few years but we know that Ye Olde Hobnails was a reasonable eating pubI rang with the request a large T Bone and SirloinThe Manager Jack was "Yup no problems "Immediately I was impressedWe booked a time and date and it was confirmed next day by E-MailNothing else was said no price agreed or anything we were taken on face value for our request and bookingFast forwardSo the afternoon of our evening booking we poked our heads into the pub to check everything was okaySorted says Jack who popped out of the kitchen beaming from ear to earWe'll see you later !Well if you want great service and a cut of steak you like I highly recommend Ye Olde HobnailsPerfect table for two starters offered .but declined as cuts were 16 oz each lolThe chef hand made a superb Diane sauce and our steaks were absolutely spot onDeserts were a sharing brownieNow for the best bitYou're all thinking I paid a premium for two 16 oz steaksWrong the whole bill inc beers and soft drinks was well within my budget for the eveningYou want good food go here

Me and my family ( 5 of us ) went here for a drink and decided to have some food , I couldn’t recommend it enough , the service is lovely especially gabby she couldn’t do enough for us and was very welcoming.

Tonight we had excellent meal and dessert, very well presented. Staff very professional and friendly. Will certainly be returning.

We went to the Hobnails a few weeks ago and travelled from Bristol. We had a great meal. We are staying in Broadway and went back for. Sunday lunch. We both had the Roast Lamb and it was excellent. The service was attentive and friendly. Attention was given to COVID requirements. We are booked to return in two weeks. A definite choice any day of the week, but the Sunday Roast is exceptional.

We were delighted with our family visit to ye olde Hobnails Inn. The food was delicious and well presented; the kids meals were beautiful and the desserts exquisite. We would highly recommend them. Thank you.

What an amazing pub cannot fault it fantastic food and real ale brilliant staff, if you are really hungry go for the xxl fish and chips we'll done to all the staff you were excellent

I’ve give this an excellent rating based on the quality of the food. The service was a little slow however I’m overlooking that because it was really busy. Fish & chips were delicious, as was my husbands pie. Desserts of cheesecake & chocolate brownie were yummy. I’m writing this review at 10 30pm and I’m still full!!!

Visited tonight with my hubby and son. We had read some reviews, but we thought we would go and try for ourselves. I had the steak and I am really fussy with my steak, but hats off to the chef. Chef did good. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection and melted in my mouth. I also had the stilton sauce which was nice, but could have done with a little more stilton for me, but not everyone likes the taste of stilton as i do. Hubby had belly pork which he said was gorgeous and my son had steak burger which he said was the beautiful, tasty and juicy. (What cheese do you use on the burgers) The staff from start to finish were brilliant. They were all really friendly and happy. We will be going back on a couple of weeks when our family from london come to visit. Well done team, the pub food and service was brilliant. Thankyou

Had a 2 course meal in the hobnails, beautiful place and lovely food with my other half. very friendly service from the manager who I picked up a kiwi accent. Defiantly recommend This place

Thought we would try since having new owners.The food was poor.I ordered the beef pie which was bland and the beef was tough as old boots.Came with gravy that was so thick and again tasteless.Other order was the pork bap missing the stuffing and who on earth would put coleslaw in a roast pork bap?????The price for the quality of food was not worth it at all.The waitress came and kept collection stuff leaning across the table for the glasses when we had hardly finished.Will not ever go back again.

We visited the Hobnails when it was taken over, service was poor, meals mixed up, took nearly an hour to come out although only a few other people in. 4 out of 6 meals were cold. Just wrote it off to teething issues. Went back Monday 10th August with my children. Only 1 other family there. Ordered meals all seemed better until they started to arrive. We ordered 2 burger meals, 2 fish and chips and 1 fish cake meal so nothing complex or frilly. It took 15 minutes from the first meal to the last one to arrive. The fish was curled up and dry, the burgers.....well were do I start!.....Why on earth serve a small burger in a massive flour bun, you could of fitted 3 burgers in it and still have loads of bun around it. Then for the fish cakes....ok they tasted ok but came on a bed of slimey lettuce and what can only be described as what looked like a child had cut the cucumber with a chunky plastic knife, nibbled on the slices and chucked into a bowl. Back to the lettuce.....ok prepacked you very occasionally get a piece that has seen better days but you do not expect to be served what can only be decribed as pond algae attached to the lettuce.Spoke to the server which offered a free pudding Just wish I hadn't paid when I ordered. 2 out of 5 of us ending up spending the next few hours on the porcelain pottyWill NOT return NOR recommend that place to anybodyI guess the fact that it was Monday tea time whilst meals had upto £10 off and they were practically empty apart from my family and the other poor people speaks volumes when surrounding places were fully booked

Found this pub en route to The Malverns and what a find it was. Very spacious inside, spotlessly clean and very friendly staff. Lots of choice on the lunch menu, very reasonably priced. Whilst not there for breakfast, that menu looked superb too. Thoroughly recommend

Booked ahead and arrived 5 mins before our slot. Several others arrived just before and after us who had not booked and were also given tables. At 6pm there only appeared to be 2 people staffing the place, one of them a chef and it took some time before our order was taken. I was impressed at this stage as the guy from the kitchen actually told the waitress to take our order first as we had booked and the others hadn't. Several more staff arrived at 6.30 not that the service improved because of this.Sadly, it went downhill after that. A couple sat on the next table to us obviously got fed up with waiting to be served and went to the bar to place their order (after our had been taken). I'm not generally impatient and I understand that everyone is getting to grips with new regimes, however, to be completely overlooked after one member of staff had pointed out that we were the only ones who had booked was a bit frustrating.Eventually, I did ask where our food was and lo and behold it arrived a few minutes later. More interesting was the fact that the couple on the table next to us had noticed that they had ordered after us and had their starters and mains before we saw any food on our table and they felt the need to highlight this to the waitress and suggested we should be given a complementary dessert. There was not a hint of an apology as a result of that, in fact the waitress they highlighted the matter to said they wouldn't do anything for us!! When a different waitress came to clear the table and asked if everything was ok I felt justified to mention my disappointment of an hours wait........"I'm sorry" that was it!Service aside the food was good.

We as a family were long to overdue a nice evening out dinning and choose the newly refurbished Ye Olde Hobnails Inn and I am very pleased to say it did not disappoint. The staff were very friendly, we had a private little room which was full of character. The menu choices were excellent and the food came out very quickly. I had Mushrooms with Stilton to start and was blown away normally anything paired with Stilton very easily looses its own identity but not in this dish the flavours were balanced perfectly my compliments to the chef. My chicken ceaser salad was lovely and I was very pleased when as asked the dressing came on the side. I had a desert from the specials board which was the coconut pana cota it was fantastic my better half had the salted caramel brownies and they were also delicious. The staff were lovely. I will be back here again and definitely recommend to all. See you soon.

We had a lovely lunch today for my Mother in law's birthday. Grandma is 93 and Father in law is athsmatic so social distancing was a key consideration. We booked well in advance and staff were very accommodating. Being an old coaching Inn there was an ideal little side room for the 5 of us and my dog, who curled up on her blanket in the corner. The food was excellent and the portions were generous. I had a steak burger which was delicious, grandma loved her gammon, we all enjoyed our meals and the dog appreciated the little bits we saved for her (it's only fair!) The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. A lot of work has been done inside and out and there is a nice new outside area at the back with a brook along one side.I will definitely return and will recommend to friends.

Having eaten evening meals in here, we decided to try their breakfast. What great value at £7 for a small breakfast which was still a plate full. As neither of us like black pudding we were able to swap that for another item. The food was nicely presented and wasn’t greasy. They also offer a large breakfast for £10 for those with a big appetite! We will definitely be back. Compliments to the chef!

We found this pub/restaurant when cruising around deepest Gloucester. A picturesque but modern refurbishment.We had a lunch of "Baps", something for which it is renown. Pork, crackling and apple slaw, served with a sharing bowl of chips. Excellent!Well worth the time, even with "social distancing", it is there, but kept to a minimum.Jack, the landlord, is friendly and helpful.

Called for a meal Sunday afternoon had run out of most things on menu so gave up and went elsewhere staff not very helpful either

This is my new favourite spot for food and drink, had fish & chips a couple of weeks ago and it tasted amazing, just had the steak burger & my wife had the belly pork bap have to say they were both delicious.Just the right portion sizes.We will without doubt be returning again very soon

We had the steak burger and the pork belly. The pork was lovely but the burger was disgusting. Tasted like horse meat. Would not recommend. The guy I complained to (Gabby) basically told me I was wrong and that no one else had complained and still charged me the full amount!!!!! No apology no refund. Absaloutly shocked. Would never suggest anyone to eat here. Was awful. But the lady who served us was lovely.

Lovely ambiance at this newly refurbished pub. Lots of small dining areas with well spaced tables and a large garden, so no social distancing concerns. Landlord very friendly and let us park our motorhome in the car park for the night. Good choice of well cooked food including vegetarian; my husband had a beef Wellington special and I had beetroot falafel, both very good. Please get the Pims in for my next visit!

called in on the chance of a quick pint,stayed and had sunday lunch for 4 of us.absolutely beautiful....one of the best I've ever had,braised red cabbage to die for....5☆

I ate out here with my father today. The staff were friendly, and welcoming throughout. I am gluten-free and felt this was accommodated exceptionally well. I was served by the manager, who double-checked everything with the kitchen, and was willing and able to accommodate changes to the items on the menu, with many gluten-free options available. The food itself was delicious, and served in an efficient manner, while customers were not put under any pressure to rush, or finish quickly. 5/5 will definitely be back.

First meal out post lockdown.I had the duck from the specials board, it was supposed to be served pink - it wasn't, it was also tough and the fat wasn't rendered down properly. The dauphonoise potatoes were dry and the pickled blackberries weren't. I was very disappointed, having been looking forward to going out for ages.I thought that the pudding might redeem it, sadly not. If I ever go back I'll have the fish and chips, there's nothing much can be messed up with that.I didn't complain, I just won't be back

We went there today for a family lunch and all left with empty plates and full bellies.We used to be regulars until it went downhill. This was our first meal since the new management took over. They have tidied up a bit and added a lovely seating area where the carvery was. They no longer do the carverys however the Sunday lunches are much nicer with 4 meat choices and a really nice vegetarian choice. The Chef is doing a brilliant job and the staff were attentive.This is the type of pub that can look quiet even when it’s busy due to the sheer size and all the nooks and crannies to sit in.To sum up good food and good cider!

It had been a couple of years since our last visit which was a bit disappointing so we were interested to see what the new owners had done, it was a real transformation for the better. Had a good selection of food on offer for Sunday lunch all set off in pleasant surroundings all updated and new but keeping the olde world feel to the place. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Would go there again.

Nice atmosphere and lovely friendly staff . We started with a pate starter and a scallop starter which were both excellent, would definitely order again. We then had the steak bap with stilton and again was very very good. Will definitely reccomend this place and will be going back again .

So glad this pub has re-opened, and much better than in the recent past. Great lunch, good service, and real ale staright from the wood - a rare treat! Strongly recommended.

Under new ownership it has been refurbished to an excellent standard keeping all of the character of the pub. The food and service were both excellent when we visited and we’ll be sure to go again shortly.

We went into the Hobnails to be nosy as its been closed for some time & just have a drink but the place was so beautifully done out(lots of little rooms & nooks & crannies ) that we decided to stay & have some lunch.It was great to see that the Hobnails Baps ,which many years ago the place was famous for,were back on the menu.We ordered steak ,stilton & mushroom which was delicious.We will certainly return for more.

First time visiting ye olde Hobnails, found the service quite slow even even on a quiet evening, on two occasions a member of staff attended our table and no offer of a refill for drinks. Large roaring fire was not lit upon entrance as other reviews have described. Starters were of a good standard and tasty although items missing of main course was a disappointment. No check back was provided throughout our meal which was also disappointing. Refurbishment has been completed to a high standard however I was surprised to find no Waste bins in any of the toilets, especially disabled. Will possibly try again in the future.

As soon as we walked through the door, we was greeted by some very friendly and smart looking staff, place looks amazing inside as there’s separate seating areas as well as a bar seating area :) food was outstanding especially for the price and drinks were fairly cheap too, was not disappointed in the slightest and will be coming back every chance I get :)

Recently re-opened after being taken over and refurbished. Haven't been for a couple of years, after the place really went downhill, but after reading reviews on social media we decided to give it a go, and Im so glad we did. The welcome was friendly, the refurb has made the place feel fresh and warm and the food was fantastic. I never knew a rump steak bap could taste so good, the burger was fresh and not at all dry and the homemade cheesecake and sticky toffee pud was out of this world. It is nice to see the kids meals coming out of the kitchen looking good too. Far too many places stick fish fingers in the oven and that is the extent of catering for little ones, but the fish goujons were actually home made and contained actual fish and not fish mush! We will be returning, without a shadow of a doubt, and would highly recommend giving it a try.

Beautiful atmosphere, decorated to feel so warm and homely. Food was phenomenal, only empty plates at table for the roast and dessert. We will be visiting again very soon!

We popped by today for the first time since this pub was re-opened and I am so pleased we did! I had a great lamb roast followed by delicious homemade creme brulee: the vegetables served with lunch were gorgeous as was the braised red cabbage, and the homemade biscuits with dessert were superb. This is a lovely pub offering great food with attentive service. I will definitely return soon.

A really nice refurbishment - much needed. Now a nice country pub. What stood out for me was the service - a nice welcome, good service throughout. This is a real differentiation from the other local pubs currently. Food is good - pub food with a bit of flair. Our food took quite a long time to come, but the pub has only been open a few weeks, so nothing major. Will be back!

Came here last week for lunch, WOW what a difference when a lot of time, money & lots of effort are put in place.

We haven’t been here for a number years due to the poor quality on recent visits but pleased to report that the new owners, a pub chain, have made a positive difference. The welcome was warm and friendly, but the table itself location was somewhat cold as not by a radiator or fire. The menu had a good choice but not over fussy, standard fare but with a bit of flair. Generally the food was of a good standard and served promptly and well presented. Reasonable value so overall would recommend a visit and we will be returning.

Arrived for Sunday Lunch amid Storm Ciara, to the warm, welcoming aroma of an open log burning fire. Perfect.

After deciding last minute where we should go for our valentines, me and my other half, Sophie had been made aware of a pub not to far away that had recently undergone a major refurbishment - what a gorgeous refurbishment at that!!

We haven't been here for several years but the new owners have certainly redecorated and reformed the old pub! The service was personal and very friendly, the food was excellent and we left knowing we will soon return!

Live locally and interested to see the difference now re-opened. So pleased we did! Lovely selection of room spaces to eat. Great food. Excellent, attentive and friendly staff. Will definitely go again. And again! Loved the open fire as you go in 🔥.

Excellent food on a Sunday lunchtime. Fresh and tasty and vegetables with flavour and not overcooked. This is unusual in most pub restaurants., the veg is boiled to death! Service terrific from both bar and waiting staff. Good luck guys and keep this up!

Booked a meal for myself and hubby on Saturday evening. New owners have done a fantastic job with the refurbishment, lovely open fire, nice large bar, loved the smaller dining areas ie the cottage, the larder, the library etc to eat in, very quirky and oldy worldy! Food was equally amazing, great portions,very tasty and nicely presented. Great friendly staff and excellent service. Couldn't fault any of it - will definitely be returning (this week actually)! Well done everyone!

We heard it had reopened a week ago under new management so went to check it out. Very welcoming and friendly. The carvery section is no more but it didn't matter as it turned out. There were four of us and we all really enjoyed our meals which were very well presented and actually very good value. I personally tried the battered cod and chips, which comes in three sizes, normal, large and XXL. I went for large as I thought the middle size would be about right. It turned out to be a huge piece of very good cod, well battered and very tasty. I can't imagine what the XXL would look like but it would be too much for me. The others with me had the Sunday roast beef with a selection of vegetables which they all said was excellent. The sticky toffee pudding was excellent too. Glad the Hobnails is back, we will be back too.

Our first visit since it has opened under new ownership. Friendly smiles and welcome on arrival. Excellent freshly cooked food, plenty of choice. Very helpful and efficient staff. Will definitely return. Many thanks team for a lovely meal.

Went this evening expecting a carvery but let me tell even though they no longer provide this it did not matter one bit from the decor to the severs and best of all the food especially the desserts which were just superb will diffinatly be returning

Called in for a spot of lunch today 6/2/20

Wow. What a great atmosphere, the new owners are so lovely and they’ve done a brilliant job at adding to the pubs character – low ceilings, cosy corners and open fires.

I was very impressed by the quality of this inn.

Recently re opened A cut above the local competition Daily specials Family friendly menu but great choice of fresh foods and specials Staff are extremely friendly, Lisa A must try

Called into this newly opened inn on the way back from Cheltenham for drink. Was so impressed we decided to order meals and both meals were awesome. We will certainly be back to this different and fantastic inn.

This was our first visit since it was completely refurbished and we weren’t disappointed! The welcome was warm and the food was superb. It is reasonably priced and we will definitely be coming here again and again.

Popped in for a quick drink on Sunday and quickly followed up with Monday supper. Lovely food, great service and good atmosphere, even on the quietest night of the week after a low key reopening! Fantastic to see the baps back on the menu. Looking forward to walking across the fields to the Hobnails in the summer.

I used to come here when I was younger and I have to say, the new owners have done an amazing job! All of the staff were welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure you have an excellent meal. There were lots of choice on the main menu as well as roast dinners on offer. All the food was cooked to a high standard and served with a smile. Could not fault the service or food.

This place has recently been reopened and wow the new owners have done an incredible job. You are welcomed by an open fire and the friendliest of staff. The food was amazing, I had the pie of the day which was delicious and the portion sizes were more than generous. I’d also highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding. I can’t wait to come back to try more of the menu as it all looked incredible. You won’t be disappointed if you come here.

My wife and I visited the Hobnails Inn which has recently been refurbished. The building has been totally renovated and the new owners have done a fantastic job. Despite the fact it is a big pub, It is warm and welcoming with a great open fire as you enter, the pub is full of character with oak beams and quirky areas where you can sit in comfort and eat. The menu is varied and has a great choice. The quality of the food is a cut above many restaurants and we enjoyed it very much. There is a good choice of real ales and the staff are helpful and knowledgeable. We'll worth a visit, we will be back soon.

Went with my family last night hobnails has new owners who are very friendly and welcoming the pub has had alot of work done to it and it looks amazing had a wonderful meal and the staff made sure we was looked after definitely will be going back all the best for the future

Had a great meal, new menu is great, really lovely country pub feel! Couple of nice vegan mains and the puddings were delightful Thoroughly recommended

Its shut and by the looks of it it has been for a while - dont waste the fuel to go. Looks ok from the outside but no one at home - carry on doen theroad till you get to the Pheasant pub.

I went there last week and literally was stood at the bar for an hour and no staff to be seen, i left again the whole place looked a bit creepy.

A couple of years ago, this place was incredibly good, we went a few times. This year we called by again last month. How awful to see such a cracking place closed completely on a sunny lunchtime. The interior is a priceless gem. I understand the family sold it. It Appears the new owners unfortunately couldn’t keep it going. Such a shame. Here’s hoping we won’t lose the historical treasure that is the interior.

poorly trained kids, poor food, few customers, no atmosphere. this years ago under private family ownership was a sensational pub with shredded steak and onions or mushrooms in baps. customers came from miles around, i can remember waiting to get a car park space before my lunch. every landlord since has allowed this great pub to end up as a total waste of time.

So sad to see Hobnails run down scruffy, empty and abandoned when we were in area and called to see what the bad reviews were about.

Thought I would give the place another go after last time but wish I hadn't bothered. Bar staff as miserable as sin with sour faces . Bar swimming in drink and dirty glasses everywhere. Tables throughout the pub not cleared from people eating earlier . Food disgusting-some veg trays empty waiting to be refilled and meat could sole your shoes . I see the pubs up for sale so if there are prospective buyers reading this - please close the place down and start again but this time with a complete new workforce then maybe , just maybe you can make this the best local carvery instead of the worse for miles around .

Although we had visited here for a meal on quite a few occasions and had never been disappointed, I was a little reluctant to go again because of the bad reviews of late....I am so pleased I didn't let the bad reviews put me off.
