Pubs and Bars / A-Z Bristol pub crawl
A-Z Bristol Pub Crawl: Upton Inn, Upton Cheyney
On the edge of the Cotswolds, nestled in between Bristol and Bath, The Upton Inn is everything you can expect from a traditional pub.
Exposed bricks and wooden beams make up the rustic interior which is full to the brim with locals on a Saturday evening.
‘Happy Birthday’ is sung across the room by a gleeful table of people all ages as staff dart from one end of the pub to another collecting glasses and keeping up with flowing drink orders.
In a humorous juxtaposition, a mounted shot gun on the wall sits alongside a barrel with a sign on top which welcomes people to help themselves to blankets.

The distant murmur of Footloose plays out but is hardly audible over the comforting hum of chatter.
With a stand near the bar dedicated to dog treats and bowls and a barrel outside with a dog bowl positioned beneath the tap, it is clear this pub caters not just for people, but for their four-legged friends too.
A message on its front door sets the tone for the laid-back vibe of the pub: ‘Please don’t remove muddy boots, we love them’.
Located on a country lane with rolling countryside nearby, it is a perfect stop off point to reward a long hike or a bike ride with a well deserved pint or some classic pub grub.
