The Horse and Groom was Tayler’s Cotswold Brewery’s tap house situated close to the brewery gates in the West End. The Horse and Groom was at one time a monks rest-house at a midway point between Oxford and Gloucester.
The booklet, ‘Gloucestershire Inns’, published in 1924, gave details that ‘It contains an old chapel, known as the Guggle and interesting cellars ‘and whoever is privileged to peep into these cellars is forced to believe that however spiritually minded the monks may have been they were not altogether unmindful of the pleasures of the table.”
