Foston's Ash Inn

Foston's Ash Inn is a traditional country pub and inn at the edge of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, England. It is a Grade II listed building in the parish of Cranham, near Stroud, and its origins are said to date to 1790, when the site served as a tollgate. Over time the building was used as a brewery, a bottling house and finally a public house. Today it operates as a local, community-focused country pub offering seasonal food, local ales, quality wines and cocktails, along with accommodation in shepherd huts. The pub's food menu is described as locally sourced and seasonal, created by the owner-chef, and evolves regularly. The drinks offer includes locally sourced ales, wines and cocktails. The inn also hosts events and themed promotions, such as National Sandwich Week, a June BBQ series on Fridays, and World Gin Day celebrations. In early 2023 the Foston's Ash was bought by Will, a chef and publican who grew up in the area and spent the previous 20 years working in top restaurants and hotels in London. He returned to his roots to run a country pub serving locally sourced, quality produce. The inn is located at The Camp, Stroud GL6 7ES, UK.
