ULEY Pig's Ear (H)
ULEY Laurie Lee's Bitter (H)
GUEST BEER Regular (H)
The understated frontage leads, via an
attractive courtyard, to a small
flagstoned bar and smart lounge with a
large open fire. This thriving 2-star
hotel has recently been refurbished, but
was originally an Elizabethan wool
merchant's house, modernised in Georgian
times. The restaurant, converted from
the old stables, is bright and strewn
with hops, as are the bar and lounge.
The three guest beers are mainly from
unusual micro-breweries for this area.
Both bar and restaurant serve the same
varied and imaginative menu. Food is
served until 1400 at lunchtime and 2100
in the evening. Splendid walled garden
and ample parking at the rear of the
hotel.

GUEST BEER Beer range varies (H)
Pub named after the church across the
road that unusually has twelve bells. A
beer drinkers' haven, lovingly
resurrected by the owner/landlord - a
colourful local character. A lively
front bar is offset by quiet, panelled
rooms at the rear. All rooms have open
fires. It offers five guest beers (some
320 per year), including local session
beer. The food is easily as excellent as
the beer, ranging from bubble 'n' squeak
to king scallop and sea bream thermidore
with ratatouille and parmesan tartlets.
All the food is prepared from fresh
produce. Abandon all diets! Cirencester
CAMRA Pub of the Year 2003.
