The Porch House is a historically significant pub, with origins dating back to 947 AD. Beyond its historical charm, the restaurant and pub offer a well-designed layout, with ample tables allocated for both hotel guests and the general public.
One minor inconvenience we encountered was the absence of menus on the table, requiring us to get up and seek one from behind the bar. Nevertheless, the prices, while on the higher side, were justifiable for a five-star pub.
We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish and chips, which featured a wonderfully crispy and fresh batter. The fish itself tasted far from frozen, and the chips were exceptionally fresh, exuding a genuine potato flavor. The accompanying sauces enhanced the overall dining experience.
A standout feature of this establishment is its warm welcome to dogs, making it a pet-friendly venue. However, it’s worth noting that the practice of encouraging tipping on card machines, although common in America, can be somewhat uncomfortable for the rest of us.
Loved my solo stay here!! Room 9 is divine. Staff and setting are top notch. The coziness and soul of the inn and bar were great. Lots of history and charm here. Very cozy stay. When had dinner and breakfast, Chef’s food is fantastic!! Joan is lovely at reception!
We ate in the Porch House in October 2023 and had a really lovely meal with excellent service. We ate the arancini for starters and fish (monkfish and paella) for main course, both of which was cooked excellently and full of flavour. Their apple crumble was one of the nicest I have had, and we considered a second trip just for it. Staff were very attentive, really smooth service and also very helpful. Would recommend coming here while you are in Stow
