What stood out most was the quality of the beef, the most tender, succulent cut of ground meat you can ever hope for, and grilled to perfection. I don't get overly excited about burgers, but this was the apex and I thought I had died and gone to burger heaven. All this is a very charming, tasteful pub in the Cotswolds countryside. Comfortable, cozy and oh so pleasant. We came for lunch just after noon at seated in the restaurant. We were given a choice of that or the pub/bar section. I washed it down with a pint of Cotswold Pale Ale... a great choice with the lunch. Service was professional, friendly and fun. They were very engaged and thoughtful and I highly recommend going out of your way to visit and enjoy this establishment.

They did set my son and I a table in between set sittings for Sunday lunches when we popped in with out us realising you need to pre book, which was nice of them. Friendly well stacked waitresses with a well priced menu, well worth popping in if you can't be bothered to do tea in the week but my wife's not keen as we found dogs poo in the garden last summer as they had/have a Labrador. Not really a drinkers pub more of a pop in type of pub as the bars mostly catered for food.

The middle of nowhere sure is pretty. I stayed overnight here, only a single night first enjoying drinks outside at a picnic table on the lawn. Later that evening, I had a delicious dinner inside, went to bed upstairs, and followed with breakfast here in the morning. So you might say I tried everything The Trout had to offer. I stayed at about 10 different places during 3 weeks in the UK and The Trout might've been one of my favorites. The room was lovely, the building equally so, the food quite good, and the outdoor space 100% inviting. When I think of The Trout and the totality of my experience here the word "lovely" comes to mind. Give the place a try for food, drinks, a room, or an afternoon on the lawn. I'm sure you'll agree.

I have drank many a pimms here and outside it is relaxed and peaceful. However this experience was not as pleasant. We booked a table under "Deacon" for 2.30 and we were asked if we caould move it to 2pm, this cut us short for time in other places but we made it for 2pm. No one greeted us but it is a pub after all so I found our name "BEACON" scrawled across a black board sign on the table (quite embarressing!) We were then left to rot for the next 20 mins, so I helped myself to menus and went to get drinks from the bar. About an hour later we got our very pricey starters each priced about £12. I ordered scallops on a vegetable puree. Not too bad, quite tasty and inventive but luke warm, hmmm. Our maincourses were all good, everyone enjoyed the food, ranging from fish & chips, to seabass to lamb, all looked yummy. I ordered crab, and had to wait ages for the crackers and finger bowl, we were tired of waiting by this time it was in a very rich sauce which one made it rather messy! We recieved no apology for the long waits and maybe if they had gone to the effort of apologising we would go back and give them another chance. But sorry that was your last!

What a great pub…read more My wife organised an extended family get together here last weekend. We arrived a couple of hours early -- quite a trek from the Isle of Wight -- so asked a local and found a lovely walk to a pooh-stick bridge that starts 100m north of the pub. We then followed the burbling river (thames?) downstream even spotting a trout in the clear water. More pooh-sticks on the way back. There is a small triangle of grass over the land from the pub that doubles as its beer garden, very pleasant sipping a pint of Doom Bar, then into the pub for lunch. They had allocated us the old skittles room and had set up a long table on one side, with the skittle lane on the other that the rug rats used to play on. Food was splendid. Starters included: seafood linguine with muscles, clams, butterfly prawns ... yum; a subtle broad bean and mozzarella salad; and stuffed artichoke. Mains included: Shin of beef, a strong stewed meat with oodles of flavour; duck breast, a generous portion of meat, beautifully pink; and cornish hake that just melted in the mouth. Puddings were: the best bread and butter pudding I have ever had (and I don't like bread and butter pudding); gooey tangy treacle tart; and some unpasturised british cheeses. Mmmm. Really friendly and accommodating staff, a good local walk along the river, a pretty position and great food. What more could you ask!
