The Old Crown, Stroud

A pretty old stone building (three old cottages amalgamated into one) with a fairly cosy village pub ambience (low black beamed ceiling, red pub carpet, exposed Cotswold stone walls) though some of the loud and well-oiled younger locals in the garden took the edge off a bit. Sports TV in a discrete raised area plus a conservatory restaurant at the rear. Two ales; St Austell Tribute and a very palatable Wickwar BOB, plus Old Rosie cider. Desmond raved about the ‘eye wateringly good’ lemonade. Worth a look.
