Where is your favourite pub or restaurant ?
Couldn’t pin you down to one – I would say I adore The Weighbridge between Avening and Nailsworth for it’s famous 2-in-1 pies (half steak and mushroom and half cauliflower cheese with the best pastry top ever!!) I worked there as a teenager when it was the pub to go to- we all used to pile down there and be teenage drunk and disorderly and at Christmas you’d come back from Uni for Xmas break and wouldn’t be able to move in there it was so packed!! Now it’s a bit more of a restaurant -people travel from far and wide for a 2 in 1 but I still have a fierce loyalty to it as do most 40-60 year olds who grew up around the area I’d say.
You can’t beat The Old Lodge or The Black Horse on Minch Common – very different – Lodge is more upmarket and black horse more of a traditional pub – but the views and sun set from the latter you can’t beat and being up on the common is very special – I spent yesterday at both with a walk in between!
Restaurants in Stroud – I love The Corner House – great food and cocktails – no view but you can kid yourself you’re in Bristol or London -nice atmosphere. And if you want friendly, great food with kids – the Italian Sorrentos every time!!
What do you love about the area?
I like the fact Stroud is a very individual and independent town. Very eclectic really – everybody muddles along together – it’s very arty – mother earth spiritual types all mixed in with your horsey high society set and your common as muck plebs!!- I don’t think you can write it quite like that but do you get my meaning?!! – anybody goes – North Cotswolds I think can be a bit snooty – not Stroud it welcomes one and all!!
Where is the best place to relax in the area?
Well the common in Minch, Selsley or Rodborough on a sunny day or for a walk and a drink ( see question 1) Rococco Gardens in Painswick, Woodchester Mansion for walks. Nailsworth for a meander around the shops and for coffee and lunch
What do you think is the best view in the area?
From my garden in Selsley West!!! – can’t beat it – tiny cottage but with best view and having worked as an estate agent for 16 years now- haven’t and wouldn’t move as a result!! But there are amazing views in every direction!
How would you spend a ‘perfect day’ in the area?
All of the above – walking, stopping and drinking in pubs whilst eating and taking in the views – and then perhaps treat myself to an outfit in Honey Trap and a mooch in Tonic, Domestic Science and Woodcock & Cavendish- perhaps finished off with a 2-in-1 Pie!!!!!!

Recently named the Best Place to Live in the UK by The Times, this historic and alternative town has “a strong community spirit and knows how to celebrate all things local.”
Celebrated for its thriving art scene – Damien Hirst has a studio in nearby Chalford and writer Laurie Lee grew up in the beautiful Slad Valley – and its wonderful weekly Farmers Market which was also voted the best in the country, it’s a desirable place for families and young professionals alike.
Buy local and support independents is Stroud’s mantra. As well as a range of one-off gift and clothing shops, Stroud boasts galleries, pubs, restaurants and cafes catering for all tastes. The recently completed Five Valleys shopping centre is also home to a range of local food suppliers. All the main supermarkets can also be found including Waitrose, Sainsbury, Tesco and Lidl.
As well as a number of good comprehensive schools, Stroud’s two grammar schools – Stroud High School for Girls and Marling for boys – are attended by children across the county. There are also popular independent schools nearby: Beaudesert Park School in Minchinhampton and Wycliffe College in Stonehouse. The prestigious Cheltenham College and Cheltenham Ladies’ College are just 30 minutes away.
Stroud is filled with activities suitable for all ages. The Subscription Rooms is a popular venue for music, theatre and art exhibitions and The Museum in the Park tells the history of this unique town.
Stroud brewery is very well supported and as well as providing a selection of ethical and organic beers also hosts popular social events. The town also has a cinema and a tenpin bowling alley along with a leisure centre offering various sporting activities and a lido.
