  “As Foston's Ash Inn isn't nestled in a typical 'chocolate box' Cotswold village setting, it would be easy to just drive by, and we nearly did. Thankfully we didn't, as the pub itself is utterly charming, the service is both personable, professional and fun, and the food is 'out-of-this-world' superb! We spent the remainder of our 3 hour walk in raptures discussing every single mouthful of the delicious monkfish, gnocchi with lemongrass sauce dish we had savoured. We cannot wait to return.”

  “One of the worse pubs we have been to in ages. My dad was unavailable to eat his lunch. To much fat and no meat. Hardly any custard in the pot. Serves was rubbish. Was never asked if we wanted any more drinks. No one came to see if our food was OK and the wait for lunch and pudding was disgraceful, to long to wait for lunch and pudding, yet they seemed they didn't care. Very poor service, need more training. Wouldn't recommend at all. Very poor. Not enough to eat for roast lunch. Also for a vegetarian person their was no (V) signs on the menu or allergy signs with is very important. Very very poor. Need lots of training. Not worse a penny the food. Plus the reviews on the page. Arr wrong. Very bad. 0 out of 10.”

  “A great find! One of the best pub fish and chips I’ve had and the service was lovely. The free birthday prosecco for the guests was completely unexpected and a nice touch to the meal. My only criticism was the sticky toffee pudding was more so a slice of sticky toffee loaf cake, which made it expensive for what it was - would have been much better if it was a bigger portion.”

  “Update 14/03/2026:- Went with family for Saturday lunch. Food still good but overall we didn't think it was up to the very high standard we so enjoyed a year ago. Attentive staff but one of our party asked for some malt vinegar that didn't arrive. A real disappointment was unnecessary loud music with a backbeat. We asked for it to be turned down as we couldn't comfortably chat with each other and the staff obliged but it was still annoying. 19/04/2025:- First impressions very good. Reserved a table for lunch in the bar area which was filling up with punters when we arrived towards 1 o'clock. I advise booking in advance. Didn't notice anywhere for someone to sit if they just wanted a drink which is often a problem when a pub becomes known for its cuisine. The food was delicious, restaurant standard. The service was good except for one server who, in her haste, spilt alittle of our 2nd round of drinks onto the table and made no attempt to return to wipe up. So an ordinary pub after all in some respects! 😄 But important here as they put 12.5% service charge onto the bill. There's a nice garden at the rear that you walk thru' from the carpark to the pub's entrance. They were hosting a choc egg hunt for people of all ages on Easter Sunday! 🐣 All in all we had a great meal and would definitely go again.”

  “Tucked deep in the Cotswolds, The Fostons Ash Inn offers that classic, cozy pub atmosphere you hope to find in the countryside. The food is excellent, with the beef Wellington particularly worth recommending, and there’s a wide range of starters, mains, and desserts to choose from. Prices feel fair for the quality, and the friendly service adds to the relaxed, welcoming mood. The kind of place where you settle in and happily stay for hours. Quietly rated: worth stopping.”

  “We were fortunate enough to win a stay, meal and cocktails at Foston’s Ash Inn. The food was absolutely fantastic! We couldn’t quite manage a pudding but we also had a welcome hamper in the shepherds hut so enjoyed the cookies the next day. The team were very welcoming and we will definitely return!”

  “Amazing place to go!! 5 * food, exceptional service and the friendliest staff. The food was second to none, the best steak I think I've ever had, and it was nice not to be your average pub steak and chips. Everything was loaded with flavour! The staff and locals looked after us well and brought us everything we needed/wanted without hesitation. The atmosphere was very cozy with the log burner lit and candles/flowers on the table really set the place off. Clean and tidy and very welcoming on arrival. Overall probably one of the best "pubs" I've been to. Highly recommend for a family or a romantic couple evening meal!! P.s please excuse the photo of the half eaten desert, looked too good to wait for the photo!! (Chocolate and blood orange rice pudding!!)”

  “We came for Sunday roast, it was incredibly tasty and very well cooked. The vegetarian dishes were full of flavour and presented beautifully. Beef was cooked to perfection. Desserts were decadent but well balanced and not too sweet. This may be an inn but the food is restaurant worthy!”

  “Delicious food and a great atmosphere (lighting perfect, great, simple and elegant decor, and a lovely friendly buzz to the place whether day or night). Good wine list, excellent locally sourced food; smoked roe, oysters, asparagus in crab bisque and gnocchi with stuffed courgette flowers all highlights. For stretching legs before or after a pint and a roast on a Sunday, there’s a lovely 40 minute loop in bluebell woods which can be reached from the car park. A real find.”

  “Taken over by new management and chef in December and this is now a serious gastro pub. My steak was truly exceptional, as was my wife’s pork chop. Lovely accompaniments. Great staff, love the cosy vibe. And our 4 year old well accommodated. Great place to have a birthday lunch!”
