Note: Closing times are variable depending on custom.

Compact and friendly 16th century town pub that used to have a brewery at the rear. Comfortable bars and additional room beyond the wood burning stove

Pleasant enclosed courtyard with old pub and brewery signs.

Pub itself has no car park and whilst it may be possible to park on street Painswick is narrow and sometimes congested. Best option is Stammages Car Park just off the A46 on the edge of the village. This is a 5 min stroll away.

Historic Interest

Grade II listed 17th-century inn, first listed on 21 October 1955. The building, formerly comprising two separate inns known as the Red Lion and the Royal Oaks, was amalgamated in 1891. Constructed of coursed and squared limestone beneath stone slate roofs, the building retains distinctive historic architectural features, including double coped gables, stone mullioned windows and an unusual elevated loading door on the principal frontage, approximately two metres above pavement level. Historic England suggests that this opening may originally have served as a window. Historical licensing records identify Nailsworth Brewery as the property's owner in 1903.
