The Lamb Inn is a traditional Cotswold pub and dining destination located in the village of Eastcombe, just outside Stroud in Gloucestershire. Set on the edge of the Toadsmoor Valley, the inn enjoys an elevated position with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Its location places it within the South Cotswolds, an area known for its rolling hills, walking routes and characterful stone villages, while still being only a short drive from Stroud’s independent shops, markets and arts venues.
The building itself is a classic Cotswold inn, featuring honey-coloured stone, exposed beams and a warm, rustic interior. A large garden and terrace area offer additional seating during warmer months, making it a popular stop for walkers and visitors exploring the local landscape. Inside, the pub maintains a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with a mix of dining tables, cosy corners and a traditional bar.
The Lamb Inn focuses on seasonal British pub cuisine, with an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The menu changes regularly but typically includes starters such as homemade soups, pâté, crispy squid and sharing plates. Main courses feature pub favourites including beer-battered fish and chips, burgers, steaks, pies and salads, alongside dishes that reflect regional produce and seasonal availability. Vegetarian and vegan options are offered, and the kitchen caters for dietary requirements where possible. Sunday roasts are a key part of the weekly offering, served with classic trimmings and popular with both locals and visitors.
The drinks list includes cask ales, draught beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks, with a focus on well-known favourites and local selections. With its combination of traditional charm, scenic setting and approachable cooking, The Lamb Inn has established itself as a reliable dining choice within the Stroud area and the wider Cotswolds.
