Lively back-street local that is at the heart of its community.

A large oak table in a side room is popular with local groups - including Knit and Natter on Tuesday and the Friends of Daisy Bank (the park and children’s playground directly in front of the pub). The Hat & Stick (as it is affectionately known) raised £1,800 for a public defibrillator, which is housed on the terrace at the back of the pub and available 24 hours a day.

There is some new stained glass - look for the Crown & Sceptre in the fanlight over the front entrance passage and the Gents above the passage to the men’s loo. The walls and ceiling of the Gents themselves are covered in posters, while the Ladies are palatial.

A south-facing terrace to the rear offers panoramic views across the Stroud valley to Rodborough Common.

Famed for its Up The Workers good value set meal on Wednesday and its Sunday roasts (booking essential). Football, rugby and cricket screened in the back bar.

Easter and August Bank Holiday realise beer festivals, held in a marquee in the garden.
