The Five Mile House is a Traditional Free House, run by a Father and Son partnership – Jon and Jo Carrier. We have no ties to any breweries or parent companies; we are just running the Pub as we would like to find it. With a little luck, you’ll like it too! Jon can usually be found in the Bar ensuring the beer is in good condition, whilst generally putting the world to rights with his fellow drinkers. Jo and his team of local lads and lasses run the Kitchen and Restaurant, offering you fresh, quality home made food in a friendly Pub atmosphere.
The small Bar leads though to the Tap Room with its high-backed settles and stove. The Snug is down a few steps, and below again is comfortable Cellar Bar. A Georgian extension is now very comfortable Dining Room with a blazing log fire in the winter.

History
A 300 year coaching inn set high on the Cotswolds on a quiet country lane that was once Ermine Street, the main Roman road from London to Wales. Local people sold food and shod animals for the passing trade. Later as a coaching Inn travellers stopped at The Five Mile House to refresh their horses or to take shelter for the night or when bad weather made the road impassable.
