Gay Friendly Inn, Bed Breakfast and Restaurant, Longhope,
Gloucestershire The Farmers Boy Inn, Ross Road, Longhope, Gloucestershire  www.thefarmersboyinn.co.uk We were made up to chance upon the Farmers Boy Inn at Longhope one lunchtime in October, all four of us being in desperate need of a “livener” and something to eat following the hectic party we had attended the previous evening in Cheltenham. Justin who doesn’t drink alcohol was our driver as usual. We were greeted with a crackling log fire and a friendly welcome from Phil (who we later found out owns and runs The Farmers Boy aided by his energetic and friendly young team of staff) who served us our drinks and took our food order. The menu is a treat with good old English favourites together with a comprehensive and an imaginative selection on the á la carte menu. We all chose their famous 2 in 1 Pie (half steak & Guinness and half cauliflower cheese) which was simply to die for. After our meal and a few more drinks we asked Phil if the Farmers Boy provided accommodation and without any hesitation we were shown their guest bedrooms which are located in a newly built annexe behind the inn. The bedrooms are all en-suite, beautifully presented and well equipped. It was nearly 5pm when we reluctantly had to leave this fabulously friendly and beautiful inn. There is something more here than the exposed beams, log fires, exceptionally good food and superb accommodation: it is quite simply the wonderful friendly greeting, atmosphere and the gentle Irish humour from a very special landlord called Phil and his amazing friendly team of staff. The only downside here at The Farmers Boy was dragging ourselves away for our return journey to Wales and work. |
