This was a lunchtime stop so only a half of beer which was very well kept. I have to say that the Cheddar, Brie and Stilton Ploughman's lunch was the best Ploughman's lunch I've ever had. The staff were very friendly and attentive too.
It took a bit of finding though, from the village of Duntisbourne Abbots, best to head for the services signposted off the A417, its at the end of the old road. Definitely worth the visit though.
It has been very sensitively modernised leaving the bar and tap room that you enter into from the front door, probably exactly as they were, still with bare wood floors, open fires, high backed settles and wooden seating and tables. They have extended the dining areas into the snug and cellar and the Georgian extension, all very welcoming.

I love this pub. I started goung there when it was a tumbledown, old fashioned roadside Inn run by an old lady whose name escapes me at the moment. It's been sensitively modernised and retains its small traditional bar alongside a number of dining/drinking areas. Excellent food, excellent welcome, excellent beer, easy parking. Just brilliant

I last got achance to visit this pub just before the dual-carriageway was built outside! Does it still do the excellent local cider which it stocked then?

I really like this pub. The building is unspoilt and it feels like a country pub should. The Timothy Taylor Landlord beer (my very favourite) was excellent, the atmosphere is friendly and warm and the food is really good. It's a bit out of the way for most people but well worth discovering.

Tucked off the east side of the A417 about 4 miles north of Cirencester, on the Gloucester-Cirencester bus route. A warm welcome, three real ales (at the time of my visit), and a mouthwatering menu make this pub the gem of the area.
