The best restaurants in Cainscross Stroud South West

Excellent chippy and the best in Stroud by far. Cash only. Update: still fantastic!!

Sammy and her team hosted my daughters football team end of season celebration, there were 36 of us in total and everyone had the best time, the food was fantastic and great quality produce, both the bar and catering team couldnt do enough. Also having been to the Carpenters for other social events I would recommend to anyone making this a venue of choice for your small, medium or large gathering. John

Good grub, great for breakfast or brunch in cashes green as long as it's not Sunday . Great cakes too. No toilet except in the public car park is unfortunate.

a few friends and I were finishing our walk for the day on the cotswold way. we’d seen a few videos from walkers that were able to stop in at the carpenter’s arm and thought we might try and get there if we could! hands down one of the best stops we made! when we first arrived, there were a group of men sitting around the table talking. there was a local, welcoming vibe from the beginning. we walked out back to put our packs down and realized the outside eating area was one of the best we’d seen! the sweeping views are unreal! we didn’t catch the pub owner’s name, but she is the most delightful person! we ordered a couple pints and sandwiches and it was honestly the best food we’d had since being in country. when traveling internationally, these are the kinds of experiences that you can hope for. We were so thankful for this stop and for such sweet interactions here!

Fantastic village pub. No food but not a drama. Fantastic local boozer. Everything a pub should be and more. The locals and the staff are 10/10. Dog friendly, kid friendly all of which were well behaved. Would not hesitate to recommend and would be back in a heartbeat. Found this place by accident while visiting after a walk along the canal. Thanks for having us.

Very friendly, excellent food and service - multiple sandwiches regularly purchased & they're lovely everytime. The toasted panini's are lush and almost as good as the homemade cakes!! Pleased to return time and time again.

We are local and love kitsch. Friendly staff and a lovely location by the canal. The interior is creatively decorated and has a trendy vibe. We love that kitsch stays open Friday and Saturday nights - our only issue would be the slightly out of context choice of loud dance / trance music in the evenings. Clearly talented DJs are used but it feels a little out of place - maybe the occasional jazz or quiet night would be well received!

Sadly it is not as good as it was , we went for breakfast my husband wanted big breakfast , they only do this at weekends .The server was lovely was very helpful and suggested it in a bap.He left the vegan sausage as it was tasteless.I had the bacon with maple syrup and a waffle , the bacon was scarce and the waffle over cooked. I don’t think we will be going back we used to love it when the previous tenants were there.It's no where near as busy as it used to be which is a bit of a indication as to its popularity .Reduce the rent and bring back the other owners please

Nice new decor ,great food , very friendly staff great with kids requests ,out the back a small secure play area and garden . Themed food nights we went Thursday and it’s steak night …delicious ,good beer selection Will definitely be back

I ordered before they opened on their website and was offered 5.50 delivery time, which was over an hour later. When the food had still not arrived by 6.30 I rang them. They said it had been sent out. Five minutes later it arrived and it was cold, cold rice, cold duck and the chips were luke warm. After reheating the food we found it was not even good. Steer clear, awful experience, we will never order from here again.
