Hard to fault which for me was unusual…read more. How did we end up there from Birmingham? 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 great location, a cut above the usual pub grub. Imaginative menu, locally sourced (Old Spot pork…read morereared in the orchard behind the pub). Lunches are particularly good value. Wine is also better than the norm, even in leafy, wealthy Gloucestershire. Wine opub of year 2010.

Absolutely amazing! I have not had food this good for quite some time. Gluten-free salmon plate was…read moreto die for, from the perfectly cooked salmon to the delicious potatoes to the shaved cucumbers. My fiance's burger was equally good. Handcrafted patty, great chips, and a phenomenal salad, combining both fruit and vegetables. Hardly a pub meal at all. This belonged in a restaurant!

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.

Sad, as more good places to eat are what the area really needs! on the plus side the beer selection isusually good :-) so maybe ok to go for a drink, if you can bear the often rude staff.
