A very pretty Donnington pub. I found this a very frustrating group of pubs to tick off - on my tour of this area I drank in eight of them - as they are so variable. Not so much in appearance, as they are almost all made of local stone with varying degrees of well-preserved interiors. The variation is in the quality of the beer, which is a bit concerning, as one of the advantages of selling your own beer in pubs that you also own, served by people you can train and supervise, should be consistent excellence. This is not what happens in my experience. My half of Donnington BB here was too cold and too gassy - how does that happen? It's a cask conditioned beer: serve it at the right temperature but not until it has finished conditioning. Variation in price is almost as alarming, with this beer on sale here at £5/pint and in my previous pub - same beer, same ownership - just £3.50. After visiting more than half of their pubs, it is difficult not to conclude that Donningtons don't know what they are doing. This pub may look very good on chocolate boxes and TV series, but I found it uncomfortable and frustrating.

Gorgeous pub - where the beauty has been picked up by TV location scouts. Its the Pig and Whistle from Father Brown - and has a sign inside used in the tv production.
Overlooking a huge village green.
Classic country boozer inside with a couple of rooms mainly setup for dining and seat in the bay window for drinkers.
Outdoor seating. Pub #2 for me on the Donnington Way.

Donnington's pubs are almost always chocolate-box village pubs, and this is no exception; I just wish I could acquire a taste for their beer. You can't win 'em all, I guess. Anyway this magnificent village green pub remains as described by AW below, now with plenty of outdoor seating and a marquee for inclement days.
It's a GBG regular, the bitter was technically fine, and Covid regs present and correct. Oh and thanks to the guvnor for serving us while they were closing up for the afternoon.
Well worth a visit.

The Fox Inn is in a really nice looking village that is fairly close to Stow on the Wold.
Once inside this pub had a bar area which had a stone floor and normal tables and chairs and there was a small raised area to the rear which was carpeted and a dining area at the back of the pub,there was another dining area to the right this was in a seperate room.
This pub is a Donnington tied house and there were two real ales on the bar i had a drink of Donnington BB and this was a very nice drink the other beer was Donnington SBA.
The toilets are well worth a visit to see the saucy postcards and jokes on the walls.
We thought this was a really nice pub in a lovely setting and well worth the visit.
