This Pub is Temporarily Closed

Re-opened 07/09/2024 @ 17:00 after a period of closure under new manager Karri Chambers. The offer has changed away from the previous destination eatery to more of a country pub. Food is available but will be a changing focal pub grub offer.

Dating back to c.1769, the Tipputs Inn is an expansive former coaching inn on the escarpment above Nailsworth built predominately in Cotswold stone but with evidence of changes and extension over the years. Internally the pub has two main areas, a large L shaped bar to the front and a restaurant with mezzanine to the rear. Outside there is a spacious car park to the side and lovely garden to the rear.

Arriving by car will likely see you using the rear entrance which opens to an expansive reception space, with the pool/games room to your left and bar to the right

In the bar, the walls evidence changes to the building over the years with exposed Cotswold stone & brick, painted wood panelling and plaster, which all gels surprisingly well. Ceilings are a mix of exposed beam and plastered. The floors are simple honest boards. To the front Easterly aspect there are carved stone mullioned windows whilst to the rear more modern multi-pane wooden windows are present. Furniture is comprised of period wooden tables, chairs and pews in various sizes and design, some capable of seating 10. Walls are adorned with art for sale by a local artist. The lighting is worthy of mention being artisan one-off of scaffold boards, rope, chain and bottles. In the winter months a cosy feel is provided by the wood burning stove.

In the pool room aside from the pool table there are tables and chairs enabling board games to be played. The space can be configured for different size functions. The Mezzanine adds a dimension to the experience.

Opening times are correct as of 13th Sept 2024

Historic Interest

Tipputs Inn is at the top of the hill from Nailsworth and unconfirmed local history says that it was a hitching point for an extra team of horses to stop the carts descending to Nailsworth from "tipping up"
