The Kilcot Inn near Newent offers a great Sunday Roast and is a warm and welcoming pub. The historic pub is on the Ross Road in Kilcot it is easy to get to and has plenty of parking outside.
The Kilcot Inn was built in the 1690s although there has been a house there since the 1530s. It has a long and varied history and the pub itself was first built by Thomas Davis, born in 1654.
The Inn had fallen into disrepair and had become derelict before it was bought by a local businesswoman and refurbished. The pub now prides itself on offering award winning food.
The pub serves its roast lunch every Sunday from noon to 4pm. We tried roast beef (£16.95) and pork with stuffing (£15.45). The meat was nice and tender although the beef was cut a bit too thickly for our liking. The horseradish was superb.

And the vegetables had a really fresh taste to them and were nicely cooked. Other roast options include chicken with stuffing (£15.95) and mushroom and chestnut Wellington served with roast potatoes, vegetables and gravy (£15.95).
For dessert we ordered the warm sticky toffee (£6.75) pudding which is served with ice cream. It was excellent. Other options on the menu include lemon tart with ice cream, chocolate and raspberry roulade and raspberry coulis (£6.75 each).
We did not have a starter but they did sound appetising. Some of the options were chicken liver pate served with bread and cajun balsamic dressing (£8.75), lemon and cilantro calamari and king prawns with salad (£10.95).

They also serve classic fried whitebait served with salad and garnish and tartar sauce (£7.50). And have a soup of the day (£7.45).
The Kilcot offers a good selection of wines by the glass that would please most customers. The staff were very attentive and we did not have to wait long for the food to be served.
