We were incredibly pleased with how lovely the place is. Great outdoor dining area, and incredibly cosy inside. The staff were incredibly courteous, and the food was just unbelievably good. I'll admit, when I first ordered, I did think that they were a little expensive. However, it turns out that was because I was expecting the food to be of a lower standard. What they brought out to us was worth every penny. This is a fantastic little place, a hidden gem. Worth driving over an hour to go to, seriously.

Now, where I come from, pubs are two-a-penny.

And how blessed am I to be able to class this utter treat as my old local! It's as homely a place as ever you'd find and the beer is twice as nice. The decor speaks of times gone by, and yet the olde days meet the new, welcoming in the latest generation of real ale drinkers who sup on their Uley bitter, like a duck takes to water. And no, in real ale country we don't use sparklers. Pints are filled to the top, if you don't mind, none of that half-a-pint-o-head business in here! Yes, in this CAMRA awarded pub you can expect to find the finest brews. The antiquated sit comfortably next to the whipper snappers and drink harmoniously until close, enjoying the lamp heated sheltered garden and cosy interior. Under the steady headship of Steve I don't think I've ever spent a night in here unsatisfied with the ambience, booze and company - this place is the only place to go in Dursley town.

This place features in CAMRAs Good Beer and Cider Guides - with more than 5 real ales on tap and a choice of 23 ciders (oh, and about 8 excellent wines . . . . and several top notch whiskys . . . . need I say more). The restaurant matches the booze very well, serving a solid and reliable range of English standards done well. For example,there was a Perry Fish Pie, made with pear cider (or Perry), thick cut gammon with a home-made tomato pickle and pickalilli, new potatoes and a chunky salad, there was also a lovely home-made tomato and basil soup and delightfully large and succulent - yet crisp - salmon fishcakes with a potato and parsley mash. We were delighted and impressed with both the service and the food.

When we visited we thought we would grab some traditional pub lunch as we had 1,5hrs to kill. Appearances can be very deceiving and this is a true case. The food is presented in a way that reminds you of a more of a upper class restaurant and not a pub in the country. The food is beautifully presented and the quality is also spectacular. The steak of my wife was cooked to perfection, juicy and tasty and my ribs were so succulent and tender. The ribs were so well cooked that the meat just fell of the bones. Everything from the salad to the French fries was fantastic. Yes you pay a little more than in a normal pub but the quality and food is just outstanding. It seems in a very nice location - offers parking and also outside facilities.

The bar staff are friendly with regulars chatting to the staff. The pub was packed on a Saturday afternoon, but we managed to find a nice spot reading the weekend papers. There is a courtyard here - perfect for the warmer weather and a restaurant towards the back of the pub. This pub has a very relaxed feel about, and as a result is homely. Added bonus is they have a open log fire too - a real winner in my book!

The young lady was so helpful but said there would be a wait of about 90 minutes. No problem to us as we then able to have a couple of drinks before hand. So, a TIP. This pub is brilliant so nearly always full. BOOK A TABLE. A few people turned up after us but were told they couldn't be seated. We were so lucky. The food was out of this world with pricing more down to earth. Service could not be beaten by a wonderful staff of young ladies who, luckily for us, had a great sense of humour. They needed it serving us. Lovely pub with an unusual interior décor which went with the area. A really good wine choice for such a small place. Normally it's red, white or rose. Now to knock a member of management. The board showed two dessert wines, which I love. Unfortunately these, at the time, were unavailable because the owner had gone to Spain with the cabinet key, I was told. Sorry, Richard you nearly lost a star. Just joking.
