The Grosvenor, Stockbridge

A Georgian Hotel with 26 rooms, the Grosvenor Hotel sits in the middle of Stockbridge High Street. It’s part of the Old English Inns chain (e.g. managed but not owned by Green King), and although that does mean the beer choice is the usual uninspiring options of IPA, Abbott and Old Speckled Hen, it does mean the food menu is more aligned to what one would know as pub grub options when compared to the other more gastro driven options down the high street. Internally there is a bar area (the bankside bar), which is a bit old fashioned décor, but comfortable enough with an open fireplace and leather settee seating. And then there is a wood panelled wood floored dining room known as the Tom Cannon restaurant. Now this may be an unfair and even incorrect comment, but I got the impression that The Grosvenor Hotel attracted the more mature local in Stockbridge while the more moneyed trendy things frequent the Gastro pubs and they certainly seemed to be moving more coffees than pints on the Sunday lunchtime I was in.
