Family-run countryside pub in Lechlade by the weir pool and St John’s Lock – the first lock on the River Thames. The Trout Inn is a traditional English inn with a riverside garden, function rooms, roaring log fire in the winter, ancient wooden beams and some stone floors.

The Trout is not a fast-food or gastro-pub, just a proper country inn with a good range of real ales, ciders, wines and spirits. The traditional pub food is home-cooked to order and all the meat is produced locally and fully traceable. The vegetables and salads are supplied by a local company and are always freshly prepared.

There is often live music in the bar and, in the summer, outside in the garden. There is also a large camp site field at the rear of the pub, but no showers or electric hook-ups. It is the ideal place for a peaceful night beneath the stars.
