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.

It was a lucky dip that ended in a wonderful meal and a very nice experience thanks to the pub owners. We rocked up around 4pm and were told by a staff member in the parking lot, who kindly offered to take our photo, that they were probably out of roast being it was so late in the day but he would speak to the chef. 20 mins later we had a couple of beverages at a nice table in the lounge overlooking the water and a delicious beef roast dinner with root vegetables, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. We cleaned our plates and followed lunch up with a sweet and tasty slice of homemade carrot cake. It was absolutely fantastic. The staff were ever so friendly and really looked after us. What a great little find and we are so pleased to have stumbled upon it! Now, hours and a couple sofa snoozes later, we are still stuffed!

A very memorable experience here on Christmas Eve 2015…read more The place was rammed. It was Christmas of course and there was carols being sung, lead by the local vicar, Rev Julie. How wonderful. After the singing there was mince pies and sausage rolls being brought around on trays by staff, compliments of the house. How wonderful. I gather from what people were saying, it's not just Christmas that draws in the crowds. The Farmers Arms is always busy, especially on the weekend. Regardless of how remote this wonderful English pub is, it attract a good crowd. My verdict? You guessed it: Wonderful!

As you weave your way down the lanes the road suddenly opens up, and the Farmers Arms is laid out in front of you. It is a beautiful, old, black and white building that is straight off the cover of a chocolate box. The food is good hearty pub fare, and in winter there is always a roaring open fire. I would recomend this to locals and tourists alike. It really is worth the effort it takes to get there.

As time went on we decided that we would like to stay and have dinner here but indoors as it was getting cold. There were 14 of us and they managed to fit us into the restaurant area on the proviso we ordered quickly before the 6:30pm booking arrived and one table had to vacate by 8pm. The staff were great and we did not feel that we were being rushed even though some people had starters. A lot of us picked from the specials board and the food came out devine and the service was outstanding. The place was busy as it was the jazz/fringe festival weekend so the clientelle was of all ages (a bit annoying having babies/kids screaming thoughout the meal) including elderly who came in through the fire door for easy access. I would definitely recommend this place which is also dog friendly. This place is soo good that Seasick Steve was playing there that evening and eating his dinner in the pub part as we left.

May Hill came up on the National Trust web site as a nice place for a walk and the AA web site said just over an hour so have got bored of everywhere local we decided to go on a Sunday. Naturally lunch would be a good precursor to a walk (as long as not too heavy) and we decided on this one over the Glasshouse Inn as it was on the north side of May Hill and closer to a recommened NT walk. I emailed the pub late on the Saturday but didn't get a response, I was asking if they offered more choice that just roasts which were listed on their web site anyway we decided to take a flyer and rolled up there at 12.30 aiming to beat the 1pm rush. As many people do we took a wrong turn in the village taking a right too early the web site says turn right after 100 yds but 10 yds after first right is the correct right and my car doesn't measure yards look for the pub sign before turning is my advice! Parking was easy in the upper car park, no hassle, plenty of room. It was very quiet when we arrived, a few cars outside but fewer people inside curiously but it picked up. Ambience was spot on, friendly staff behind counter, nice terrace which is where we took residence. Toilets were clean with nice accessories and paper towels and a hand dryer. Starter of fishcakes for me and artichoke salad were both excellent and we both had the pork which was excellent. We also indulged in a dessert, choc/ginger torte for me and choc brownie for her with a choice of cream or ice cream. The was followed by coffee (unlimited supply is a nice touch) and Earl grey tea, both which we didn't realise at the time were included in the 3 course set menu meal. The total for this with a pint of ale and a lime and lemonade was a modest £38.40, closer to the cost of one persons meal in other more fashionable parts of Gloucestershire. This is one of those pubs that I don't want to recommend to too many people because it might mean one day I can't get a table but this time.. The walk was excellent too, more info on NT web site.

A lovely local pub in Winterbourne Down…read more This has been my family's local pub for around 20 years and it hasn't changed one bit. It's still as charming, still has the same locals, still the same landlord and, I think, still the same roaring log fire. The Cross Hands doesn't do food, but it does do lots of guest ciders, ales and a brilliant atmosphere. The landlord and landlady (Pete and Lesley) are great (Pete is the spitting image of Peter Stringfellow - with open shirt and hairy chest) and make you feel like part of the furniture - which can make leaving quite difficult at times! Friday nights are good fun. Typical local pub style. A bit of cheese on the jukebox and a good mix of young'ens and old'ens to keep it interesting from one end of the pub to the other. But the best thing about this pub isn't its huge back garden. It isn't the fact you can use one of their massive BBQ's and bring your own meat/food. It isn't even the regular events they hold in the summer with live bands and cider in boxes. The best thing about the Cross Hands is the pub dog. A beautiful Staffordshire Bull terrier who has the gentlest demeanour and wonderful personality. She'll pin her belly to the ground and wiggle her way over to say hello. All the while snorting like a little pig. She has her own arm chair and sits with the locals who play cards on the big round table from 4pm every day. This is a lovely little boozer that has a huge garden for the summer and wonderful warm log fire for the winter. As it is out of town, you can knock 40-80p off the price of pint. A must if you're in the area.
