“Excellent pub food, ambience and service” are on offer at this elevated Cotswolds village boozer (fka The Mason’s Arms) from the experienced team of owner Antony Griffith Harris and chef Nick Anderson, who first worked together 35 years ago. It’s a handy watering and feeding hole for the Chipping Norton set, and for escapees from Soho Farmhouse, a couple of miles away.

“Lovely views from the high quality pods in the garden” help set an upbeat tone at this “intimate edge-of-Cotswolds pub/restaurant, midway between Banbury and Chipping Norton” (formerly known as The Mason’s Arms). Included in its attractions: a “creative” à la carte menu incorporating steaks and quite traditional fare alongside more exotic dishes (pass us the Ecuadorian white prawn fritters would you…)

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
