Food & Drink

The Stump is an award-winning country pub opened by local food duo Baz & Fred

Food is at the heart of the pub’s appeal. Guests and locals flock here for its wood-fired pizzas, homemade pastas, and creative seasonal plates inspired by Italian trattorias and Cotswold produce. Breakfast is served daily, alongside artisan coffee, and freshly baked pastries.

The bar pours craft ales, fine wines, and signature cocktails in a lively yet relaxed setting — perfect for long lunches, casual suppers, or weekend gatherings. Booking ahead is recommended.

Outside, the garden is the perfect spot from which to enjoy a gin & tonic and the perfect pizza on warm summer days.
