An imposing listed 19th-century facade belies the vibrant atmosphere inside this welcoming family-run pub. Humorous piggy bric-a-brac is displayed, and pig portraits adorn the walls. Up to five guest ales are sourced nationwide, and ciders from Gwatkin and Broadoak feature from April to August. Excellent home-made food is available every lunchtime and on evenings except Tuesday, Friday and Sunday when there is entertainment. An upstairs function room is available for hire. Outside drinking is possible in three small patio areas. Gloucester CAMRA Pub of the Year 2009-2011.
