Whether you're a Cotswolds local or planning a special occasion in one of the UK's most beautiful areas, if you're looking for somewhere with private dining options in the enchanting market town of Stroud, we've got one for you.
The Stroud is a much-loved boutique hotel with seasonal fare-focused in-house restaurant and stylish cocktail bar. Housed in a Grade II Listed building, throughout the space you'll see those magical original features that Cotswolds architecture is so famous for - from rustic, stone walls to wooden ceiling beams.
The team here enthusiastically welcome private dining bookings and have a dedicated events space that's versatile enough to be transformed into whatever you need. Located towards the back of the property, you'll find a large, open plan events suite with plenty of natural light, historical architectural features and classic-contemporary interiors, which act as a blank canvas for your celebration.
In terms of capacity, the events space can host seated dinners for up to 60 people, or drinks and canapes for 90, when organised as a standing reception. Honest, seasonal food is at the heart of The Stroud, so you can be assured that catering for your party will be gladly taken care of in house. Take a look online for a flavour of what kind of dishes to expect, with example plates looking like pea and mint velvet soup with creme fraiche to start, followed by roast chicken supreme with squash puree and fondant potatoes for mains.
If a canapes reception is more your thing, choose from bites like whipped honey feta with cucumber and fennel cress, alongside confit duck spring rolls and mini Yorkshire puddings with rare roast beef. For a more informal feel, you can also opt for a buffet table laden with sandwiches, share plates and side plates, which is perfect for a day-time event.
