Stirrup Cup

Another fantastic meal at the Stirrup cup. Thank you

I wouldn't take much notice of the first review, as the new owners are friendly and the staff are experienced. You do not have to be an older person to be good at what you do! We found the staff very helpful and our meal was amazing. The pub is clean and the food was great. We enjoyed it so much we are going back this week. In life you get what you pay for, so if you want local fresh food then the Stirrup cup is the place to go. We do not drink and therefore do not go into the pub on a regular basis, but when we do the landlord greets us like a long lost friends.

As an experienced pub Landlord and having had several successful businesses in the public services sector through the Cotswolds I have Visited the Stirup Cup on several occasions from mid March to April 2013, and found the menu very basic and unvaried, there were no specials on the menu boards and the tacky paper on a board style menu was lacking in selection as there are no Chicken dishes at ALL or true country foods such as currys, lasagne, game pies etc which were not available and unless you are a chips and very basic salad lover with a steak then this pub is not for you. There was no vegetable side dishes on offer - which is school boy error in my opinion..and the Steak is the only dish I would recommend, which was over priced! The restaurant staff are generally students 16 yrs + that have very little ability to acknowledge customer complaints and clearly have not been trained or briefed on the mission statement by the Landlords as they have no knowledge of the menu or wine selections and have poor serving etiquette. I fear for the new landlords as they have started well, but this might be the novelty factor of a newly re-opened pub. I over heard a recent experience of the management not taking a customers disapproval/comment well and did not offer any compensation for sub standard food or poor attitude! "The customer is always right" and I trust this review helps the owners and can create a sound establish for years to come.

Roaring fire and a friendly welcome. Good pint of Doom Bar and good range of straightforward, reasonably priced food. Fish night Friday, Steak night Wednesday. 15% discount for oaps weekday lunchtimes Popular with locals. Dogs and walkers welcome. Interesting village with lots of history. Dining room used to be funeral parlour and cottages opposite were owned by one of Nelson's captains.
Highly recommended.
