The best restaurants serving British food in Painswick Stroud South West

We visited this Easter weekend as a family party of 11 to celebrate a 70th birthday. Can’t praise the setting, food and service by the staff highly enough. What a lovely experience, thank you ☺️

We stopped here for lunch, what a mistake. I ordered the lasagna salad and chips, the lasagna wasn't in a dish, it was just a tiny little square with little or no taste. The salad with salad cream was something from the 70's. What a disappointment, not like your normal pub grub fare these days. Other people had cold jacket potatoes and wrong orders. It shouldn't really be happening these days......

Lovely pub with great food (delicious Sunday roast, including the veggie option), excellent beers and helpful service.

What a surprise ! We are up on a short trip from Kent , renting a cottage, decided to give this place a try on the spur of the moment Wednesday night. No reviews for a year - Why ? Doesn’t help make an informed decision - I can honestly say that the food was superb on all counts - couldn’t fault anything . 3 of us , Pigs cheek , chicken terrine , cheddar soufflé to start. 2x halibut with a curry sauce, 1 x steak as mains - with triple cooked chips. Puds were cheesecake and a caramel tart. We have eaten at some great restaurants- and I can honestly say- this rates among the best of them - I can’t fault anything. Service was ok - waiter was more interested in chatting to his male colleague than attending to diners - but still ok. Congratulations chef - you certainly know how to cook and present top quality food. Thoroughly recommended

What a fine dining experience in a cute little village pub. Friendly service. Varied & unusual menu with some rare names for some of the ingredients !!! Pretty fresh flowers on each table made it look inviting and lots of unusual pictures and ceilings painted. Not a cheap lunch but it was delicious more of a treat. Every table was full at lunch time so booking essential. Not many local pubs are full at lunch time - their reputation is excellent. Parking on the road outside.

Lovely pub with good beer. Went a few times for drinks, and once for food . The food was plentiful and good quality. Recommended.

Our guide had booked in advance as we were a walking group of fifteen. The exterior looks a bit drab but it is modern inside. We had a long table by the window and received good service. The food was good but slightly pricey. The place was clean and seemed popular though the atmosphere was lacking a cosy feel.
