About Vine Tree Inn

Vine Tree Inn stands on a hill in Randwick, Stroud, on the route of the Cotswold Way, with a car park for those arriving by road and a rear garden looking out over the surrounding views. The 200 year old building keeps dried hops hanging through the interior and a fire going, with seating both inside and out. The kitchen draws on local food suppliers for a menu spanning dill pancakes with salmon and prawns, lamb gyros, and chicken souvlaki alongside fish and chips and a burger. Cask beers, wines, and ciders from local brewers run alongside the food. Occasional themed nights, including a Greek Night, have sold out. The pub opens daily, with food served across lunch and evening sittings and a shorter Monday bar-only stretch from 4pm. Dogs are welcome throughout, and booking ahead is suggested for busier periods.

Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out the food quality at this Cotswold pub, with dishes like the dill pancakes with salmon and prawns, the pita with hummus and halloumi, lamb gyros, chicken souvlaki, and rump steak all praised as delicious and cooked well. Close behind is the drink selection, with cask beers, ciders, and wine called out alongside a garden and rear views several describe as a highlight. Staff are consistently described as warm and accommodating, with multiple reviewers recalling being let in for food after the kitchen had closed or squeezed in on a busy night. One visit found portions on the smaller side and the bill over £30 a head, calling it not cheap, though most others call the pricing fair to excellent value. Reviewers who found it while walking the Cotswold Way or from Haresfield Beacon note it looks unassuming from outside, and several say they will return.

    “Amazing drinks selection here. The staff are absolutely lovely, very accommodating and friendly. The locals are all very welcoming. Great atmosphere. The food 11/10, locally sourced and cooked to perfection, great portion sizes and a very fair price for what you get. If you haven’t been here before, go. Recommend booking in advance as it’s always busy and that speaks volume in itself. The landlord even managed to squeeze us in this evening and mate - thank you so so much. Had a brilliant time.”

    “My wife and I visited The Vine Tree Inn for our first wedding anniversary. Our cabin host, Jo, booked us in—and thankfully so, as it was their Greek Night and completely sold out! The pub is warm and welcoming, ideally located just a stone’s throw from our cabin. The staff were polite and attentive, and the garden offers brilliant views. To start, we shared the pita with hummus dips and the halloumi. Both were divine, especially paired with the garlic mayo. For mains, my wife had the lamb gyros and I went for the chicken souvlaki. The meat was cooked to perfection, beautifully presented, and tasted fantastic. The entire meal was exceptional value for money. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll definitely return!”

    “We had such a lovely experience here. We arrived just as the kitchen had closed, but the staff kindly let us order some food anyway, which we really appreciated, especially as it was our anniversary. It made our evening extra special. It was beautiful sitting outside on a warm summer evening, and the atmosphere was so relaxing. We both absolutely loved our meals – everything was delicious. Thank you to the team for your kindness and great hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!”

    “Cracking little pub we discovered during a walk from Haresfield Beacon. Can't belive we haven't found this gem before. Great range of beer and cider, good service and amazing views. One to visit again.”

    “I decided to pop in to this pub, whilst walking the Cotswold Way. Because it is situated on a hill, the pub doesn’t look much from the road. However, first looks can be deceptive! No sooner had I walked in, than I was treated like a long lost friend by not only the lady behind the bar, but also the landlord. It was a genuinely warm welcome and really made you feel at home. I had the burger and it was delicious. If this was my local, then I would be in here all the time!”
