In Tetbury with work and decided to eat at The Priory Inn, made to feel so welcome although food wasn't served until 6pm, my husband and I whiled away the wait in the beautiful garden area, and Boy was it worth waiting for! I ordered the braised beef on a bed of mashed potato (after swapping out the sweet potato mash on the menu) with steamed tenderstem broccoli and crispy spinach. It was absolute perfection, a huge chunk of braised beef that simply melted in the mouth, the veg were perfectly cooked and the jus just improved an already perfect dish. Highly Recommend and will definitely be back!

Standard of food was excellent. Both breakfast and restaurant evening meals were good quality ingredients, plentiful and tasty. New manager Nat was great. Friendly and although busy always had time to check everything was OK and chat with customers old and new. Would definitely recommend and would stay again when in the area

We went for meal on a Friday evening with friends. The pub is under new ownership and I can report that it shaping up very nicely for the future. The bar staff are very helpfull and friendly, and even knew our table number when we arrived and ordered drinks to join our friends, before we even gave our names. The food was top drawer, it may of been only standard ham egg and chips, but the sourced ham was plentiful and thickly sliced and so tasty. The chips homemade and eggs free-range. We all felt full and happy after our meal. So good to see this great pub in good hands with a bright future, as Arnie said, we will be back.
