Welcome to the Carpenters Arms Westrip

When Sammy took over The Carpenters Arms in 2019, she quickly faced the unexpected challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic, which shut down pubs nationwide. Determined to keep her dream of running a pub alive, Sammy adapted by opening a small shop selling essentials and offering takeaway Sunday roast dinners, along with takeaway beer and cider. This initiative helped support not just the local community, but also the wider Stroud area during difficult times.

Now, five years later, The Carpenters Arms continues to thrive, offering a warm welcome to all. Our food is crafted with care, using the finest organic ingredients sourced locally to ensure every dish is of the highest quality. Led by our talented, qualified chef Leah, we pride ourselves on offering exceptional, high-end dining in a relaxed and friendly setting.

Whether you're looking for a casual bite or a special meal, you’ll find something to satisfy your tastes. Sammy's dream of running a top-tier pub is alive and well, and the doors are always open for you to experience our passion for great food and hospitality.
