The Porch House Reviews

Tasty Italian ale beer when the crowd was gone. Then Stow is really beautiful

Excellent food, cosy, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff

Great pub
Super service from one of the staff given different tastes of wine to find which one suited me. Lovely lunch. Great service. A lovely find in Stow on the wold

Went into the Restaurant for evening meal (walk-in): Outstanding meals (fish pie and burger meal) for very good price. Superb service and reached out to assist in any which way. Great historical Oldest UK Inn building (947AD). Feature full and lovely design layout.

Great hospitality. Went for my wife's birthday dinner they made it very special and the food and the service was outstanding. Would highly recommend.

Drinks were pleasant and reasonably priced however service was slow and unengaging.

Nice atmosphere, dog friendly. Polite staff and good food/service

Fantastic establishment. Cozy and elegent. Staff are very professional and helpful. Amazing rooms and dog friendly. Food was excellent too.

My husband and I was so looking forward to the roast lamb for Sunday lunch at the Porch House. How disappointing. The meat was tasteless, uncooked and of very poor quality. I could not eat it. The selection of vegetables was not great More

My local so I'm biased. Im not a drinker but they do the best cappuccinos

We loved this place. Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. We forward to visiting again.

Very disappointed with the food. Especially as we have had many meals over the last two years. It seems if there's a different owners or Chefs.

Great spot in a lovely village. The friendly staff were very welcoming on arrival and during dinner service.

Excellent food, very friendly stuff and not very expensive. We had a wonderful time

Overall good food and great desert. The service was lovely snd very accommodating for a big group

We had a fabulous meal with lovely staff and a great nights sleep with the perfect breakfast. We could not of asked for more.

Great hotel however, despite showing a phone number and email on the website, they are literally uncontactable which is utterly absurd for a supposedly 5* hotel.

I have left four or five voicemails over the last two months, and sent emails, regarding a lost item of my ten month old baby and heard NOTHING. Absolutely appalling. Totally ruins any nice experience we had.

Food was poor service was poor told staff food was not cooked well was told ahh

Beautiful location. We had Sunday roasts which were very tasty. There was a generous amount of meat. The staff were very attentive and friendly.

Lovely relaxing meal. Very enjoyable. Will definitely go back

Amazing food - didnt leave a crumb on our plate. Very historic pub one of the oldest in fact!
One comment i would make is 'light the fireplace'!

Best pub in Stow on the Wold. Stopped there just for a drink this time. Excellent choice of wines and real ales. Have stayed there previously and eaten in the restaurant. It was excellent!

We went to the Porch House for a Sunday roast and weren t disappointed! Great quality food, good portion sizes and for a reasonable price. Lovely building and atmosphere too, highly recommend.

I stopped at the porch house for a night in march. The room I stopped in was amazing. The beams in the room were just beautiful. The staff were very friendly. I would highly recommend The Porch House as somewhere to stop and eat.

Disappointed as we were not informed that the restaurant would be closed. An email would have sufficed.

Very good food in historic surroundings. Worth trying just for the ambiance.

Great food, very cosy place with lovely restaurant, very friendly bar staff. Particularly a south African bar tender. Well looked after and the risotto was yummy!! Will definitely be back

Stayed in this charming old pub last night, which has retained the old world charm with comfortable and well appointed rooms. Friendly staff. Great job. Thankyoy

Food is good. Service is great. Lovely atmosphere. 2 thumbs up

Lovely Old Building with lots of character! Friendly Staff, Good choice of drinks would definately return.

Old and welcoming pub, worth a look and a sit down while you contemplate the next place to visit in the Cotswolds. Good bar selection but didn't eat there. Tables outside to lap up the sun...

Was fine mostly, just quite overpriced for what you got.

Having turned up quite late without reservation we were quickly found a table for two in the cosy restaurant by a friendly waiter. We both chose the lamb dish which was tender and tasty accompanied by a rich Rioja. Lovely roast beetroot made was especially nice. We shared a cheese board for dessert and then headed through to the bar area which felt relaxed and welcoming. Staff were efficient and friendly even though it was getting quite late. The food and wine are both excellent value with tempting choices. An ornate mirror and chandelier in the lady's toilets highlight the fact that a lot of thought has gone into the overall decor. We would go back.

Great menu and not expensive. The beer was superb and the coffee was hot would recommend and would go there again

Delicious food and good atmosphere. Booked to go back here again

Can only comment on the food that was really nice. Everybody was friendly enough and attentive. Its clear to me though the owner has been speaking to some marketing person. A bottle of water is placed on your table. It costs 50p if you use it but it goes to charity. Then your asked if you'd like bread rolls, again additional cost. When reading the menu you realise that a service charge/tip is automatically added. The free drink on news letter sign up is delayed to make you come back on a second occasion. It's just all very obvious and felt a little intrusive to the overall experience.

10 out of 10 for the room, the bar, the restaurant and the staff. Lauren looked after us really well. Our waitress at dinner was really nice too. All very welcoming but professional. I stayed there for one night with my brother as part of his visit to the UK from the USA. Just before setting off for our stay, we had to deal with a significant water leak leading to the trip nearly being called off. Eventually we arrived, a little later than planned. We called Lauren and she moved our dinner reservation. When we got there, we received such a lovely welcome it really did feel like we could relax and enjoy our stay. There was an open fire going in the restaurant which added to the cosy atmosphere. I have stayed here about 5 times before and it has never disappointed. This visit was particularly good. Thank you Lauren.

Incredible food, great maintenance and display of the original structure

Just stayed here 2nd and 3rd of October, absolutely top class, excellent service, Room was magnificent, (No 8) vaulted ceiling, open oak timbers, the ensuite was marvellous, If I had to be picky, the only problem would be that if you had this room for a longer stay it would not "fit your bill" as there is no wardrobe and very limited storage for clothing, But as i said, for us it was FIRST CLASS.

Lovely quality food, our party of 6 and 2 children were well catered for and the service from the staff was excellent :)

Stayed here for a long weekend. Beautiful room, excellent restaurant and wonderful staff.

Nice atmosphere, good selection of drinks. Didn't eat here, so can't comment on food. Menu looked good though, perhaps a bit pricey, but that depends on the quality I guess.

Great food . Shame about skip in garden .. needs fencing off

BED BUGS BED BUGS please avoid. We rented 10 rooms for one evening for a work event, and two out of 10 of us ended up with bites and diagnosed with BED BUG bites! Both on heavy steroid creams post this trip. Will not go again! Avoid if you can! Horrible experience.

Great atmosphere. Was a little disappointed that their monk fish sold out so had their steak instead. Service was great. Make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment.... There were quite a number of walk in's turned away.

Lovely feel to the place. Stay extremely helpful. Food was amazing! Would definitely recommend and return!

Very expensive, full of people eating. Definitely not a drinkers' pub

very unhelpful staff, couldn't even sit and get a simple drink without being told to download the app, and provide every detail of your life including date of birth and take a photo of yourself. I'm all for being safe re covid, but this is ridiculous. The questions are needlessly very very invasive and the staff very unhelpful. If this chain goes bust, it would wouldn't surprise me, its just like they don't want any customers.

Wonderful! So much so, we're back this evening for dinner.

Good food, slightly slow service but they were very busy !

An Inn built in 947AD full of character. Very popular restaurant, bar, snug, conservatory and rear garden. Not to be missed.

We loved it.. the food was excellent, the friendly service very patient -we were 6 ladies, no need to say the location and the history is unbeatable. While we waited we visited the chocolate shop and the cheese shop. All wonderful

Lovely place,drinks expensive but the pub is lovely

Great country pub, good selection of beers and spirits to choose from

Delicious Sunday lunch and pleasant staff.
We will be returning soon.

This hotel is amazing, I really enjoyed staying there, staff were great couldn't do enough. Food was great, that's breakfast and dinner. We had one of the cheapest room, but it was beautiful, clean, slept well no noise from outside. The only thing that people might say, is the room is a bit small but it was fine for me.

Great place, I went there for a wedding reception and it was lovely.

Hostile bartender who purposely charged me with the most expensive spirits. His attitude towards us was unpleasant, we felt the opposite of welcome.
