The Horse and Groom Inn aims to provide great food and drink in a quintessential, traditional 16th century country inn. Dining is relaxed and informal in a friendly atmosphere. We stock a wide choice of wines by the glass, cask conditioned ales, lagers and ciders.

Our guests can enjoy dining in our cosy bar or restaurant areas. We welcome well-behaved dogs on leads. Children are welcome if accompanied by an adult and supervised at all times. We also have a comfortable outdoor terrace and garden area with picturesque babbling brook.

We also have a small in-pub coffee shop and delicatessen! Selling the best of local produce, bread, milk and a selection of luxury food and drink items, the shop is open whenever we are. We also provide great coffees to drink in or take away.

Our menu focusses on great steaks and seafood (vegetarian/ vegan always available).

Note: There are two pubs called the Horse and Groom in the area - we are the Horse and Groom Inn at Upper Oddington.

From start to finish we had the best experience and would thoroughly recommend The Horse and Groom Inn . All staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and a credit to the Inn, great beer and great food was had. We both had steak both of which were cooked perfectly to our liking and delicious and the sides were perfectly cooked as well. The crème brûlée we had for dessert was 1st class. We stayed for two nights as well and breakfast on both mornings were of high quality, delicious and served by very attentive and friendly staff. The whole experience was perfect and we will be back in the new year.

My parents were down for the weekend and we needed somewhere nice for Sunday lunch. We live in the Cotswolds but had never been here. It did not disappoint. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The fire was on and the pub had a great atmosphere. We all had the Sunday roasts. The beef was cooked to perfection and was extremely soft and tasty. Crispy roast potatoes but not overdone. Great portion size and the Yorkshire puddings were the size of baby’s head! You made my Father’s Day when he asked if there was any crackling left and the waitress came back with a little plateful! :) Would definitely recommend, especially as all food is sourced locally. Thank you for a very pleasant couple of hours.

We have stayed here before and dined so decided to dine again whilst staying in Stow! The food was as good as we had before but the service wasn’t great this time- so much so felt gutted that we had to pay a service charge as wouldn’t have left a tip!!! At no point did any one of the 3 waiting staff ask if everything was okay- we were left a long time with empty plates and glasses! I had to ask 3 times for a drink and also after waiting over half an hour I had to ask for the desert menu as hadn’t been offered it!!!! Not sure I would return !!!
