The Fostons Ash

Call Directions Website

The Fostons Ash Pub open Wednesday-Sunday 12pm-11pm (except on Sunday’s we close at 10pm)
(347)

Set on the Cheltenham Road at the end of the Slad Valley, this really is Cider with Rosie country in the heart of the Cotswold hills. Easily accessed from Cheltenham, Gloucester, Cirencester and Stroud, this Grade 2 listed, Cotswold stone inn is named after a former turnpike keeper and is a great 'drive to' destination and meeting place for friends. Lots of traditional features plus comfortable contemporary furniture make for a varied mix that updates the English country pub. Retaining the original underground purpose built cellar, the ales are particularly fine and Fostons Ash now stocks a lager made locally in the Cotswolds. Fostons Ash is proud to be part of the Gloucestershire Ale Trail and is a must for roaming beer aficionados and, situated close to the Cotswold Way (a national trail), very popular with walkers and their dogs. Fostons Ash is comfortable in every season, with long winter nights spent by the open log fires, alfresco dining on the terrace or gardens for summer days and a quirky new snug table for romantic couples. Open all day every day with plenty of parking, Fostons Ash is family friendly and worth going the extra mile for.

Our French W**e Dinner returns on Thursday 29th October — and tables are already filling fast 🇫🇷

Join us for four beautifully crafted courses inspired by the French classics, rich with the deep and indulgent flavours of autumn. Each dish will be paired with an exceptional w**e from our friends Bancroft W**es, with the brilliant Johnny Patterson guiding us through every glass. 🍷

On the menu: a crisp garlicky frog’s leg bonbon, a delicate trout rillettes infused with horseradish, a succulent and rich duck and pork cassoulet and a silky chocolate mousse to finish. For those who fancy a little more, there’ll also be a cheese course to add on 🧀

Warm, generous and guaranteed to be a hoot, it’s an evening not to be missed.

7pm · £55 per person

Book your table now — we can’t wait to raise a glass with you 🍷

Born in Florence in 1919, the Negroni was created when Count Camillo Negroni asked his bartender to strengthen his usual Americano by swapping the soda water for gin.

More than a century later, that perfectly balanced combination of gin, Campari and sweet vermouth remains one of the world’s great cocktails.

We’re celebrating Negroni Week, come rain or shine, with £5 Negronis all week.

Bitter, boozy and unmistakably Italian.

Salute!

Move over N’duja Scotch Egg… there’s a new snack in town!

Introducing our Middle White Pork Sausage Roll with Green Peppercorn Sauce.

Middle White pork mixed with slow cooked onions, chopped sage, a little ground fennel seed and nutmeg, all wrapped up in flaky rough puff pastry and baked until beautifully golden.

And then there’s the sauce…

Green, black & pink peppercorns, plenty of shallots, Dijon mustard and a generous splash of brandy, finished with rich beef stock and a good dollop of thick cream.

Golden, flaky, peppery and made for dipping.

On the bar menu now. Come and get it.
