Carpenters Arms - Stroud

This pub is fantastic with delicious food and excellent service. The staff are very welcoming and create a lovely atmosphere. The live music adds to the great experience, and there are also opportunities for dog walking nearby.

While staying locally with my Labrador dog, I decided to visit a warm, cozy pub after a misty Autumn day stroll around the Lake. I was pleasantly surprised by the welcoming atmosphere and felt right at home despite being alone. The presence of other dogs and families added to the homely feel of the place. I appreciated the option of a smaller portion of the main meal, and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious duck and pheasant stew. The staff were friendly and courteous, and I was grateful for the availability of newspapers and board games. Overall, it was a great experience at this country pub, complete with a cozy log fire and beautiful surroundings. I would like to extend my thanks for the wonderful service.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the Sunday roast at this restaurant. The boiled parsnips and other bland vegetables were not very appetizing considering the price. The beef was also a bit tough to chew. Despite its great location, I would not dine here again.

Everything a proper pub should be. Excellent beer, food and service. Great for couples, groups, kids, dogs, you name it. I worked a shift here 24 years ago and it's the first time I've been in the area to go back. I definitely won't be leaving it another 24 years for my next visit. Highly recommended!

Telephoned and booked overnight in our small campervan as a stopover on our way to Devon. They have one spot at the side of the pub for a small camper but we were also told that the local primary school, just around the corner lets you stay in their car park overnight throughout the school holidays for a small fee Honesty box on the wall) What a lovely greeting we received by Karl and we were made to feel very welcome. The village of Miserden was peacefull. beautiful and idyllic. We parked and stayed for the evening, drinks selection great, they also made me my favoutire Gin drink. We both had Sunday dinners, which we both really enjoyed. Beef was generous, veg cooked perfect and roast potatoes were superb! I had a bread and butter pudding which was lovely. Staff, owners and other village customers were really chatty and our eveinng was a relaxed , fun ,cosy and homely atmosphere. We had a great night and slept really well as it was really quiet in the evening. We had such a nice time on the way home from Devon, we decided to stopover again. As it was impromtu, we stayed in the School Car Park. School teacher arrived to work, who was really friendly and advided us there was a public toilet, open through the night , just a little way down, over the road. This was helpful for us. Again, had another great chatty evening in the Carpenters Arms and this will be our stopover when we travel South again. Remeber, your night is what you make it, join in converstatons, ask questions, speak up if asked if everything is alright or if you would like something, I asked for extra gravy and a special drink making, nothing too much trouble. Thank you to everyone, we felt very much part of the Miserden Community.
