The Huntsman Inn

We stumbled upon this gastropub on the way from the M5 to Berkeley on the A38. The exterior appeared to be a typical pub, but we later discovered they also offer rooms. The friendly barmaid greeted us and took our drink orders, as well as providing us with menus. After ordering our food at the bar, it arrived promptly and was delicious. The staff checked on us multiple times to ensure everything was to our satisfaction, bordering on being too attentive. The decor was a bit worn and tired, with dirty seats and dusty furnishings. While the service and food were excellent, the over attentiveness and lack of genuine care brought the overall experience down. Three stars for good service and food, but improvement is needed in other areas.

What an absolutely fantastic restaurant that we found through the great reviews we had read online. Carl the General Managers service and the rest of the team was second to none and the food surpassed all our expectations. The Food and Service was exceptional and...this Pub Restaurant is well worth a visit if your in the area . Thanks Carl for an excellent experience

The Huntsman is situated just off the M5 therefore is an ideal stop off whether you are travelling north or south. The rooms are situated at the back of the pub overlooking the fields, making it very quiet and ensuring a good nights sleep. Bedrooms...are furnished to a very good standard and extremely clean. The food is excellent with a varied menu. The staff are incredibly friendly, and provide a warm welcome. It was a pleasure to visit this pub, with good honest staff, food and prices. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Huntsman, you will not be disappointed.

We only booked an hour before our visit. The Huntsman were able to accommodate 6 of us plus a child. The welcome was warm and friendly and the service throughout was excellent. 5 of us had a Sunday roast and the 6th lesson ordered from...the menu. The food was served quickly and was lovely. We were not rushed at all. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Update on a previous review.....friendly helpful staff serving great food in front of a warming fire, what could be better on a chilly autumn night.
