"Discover a pleasing combination of traditional ambience and eclectic food"
Overview
Dominic and Lisa Wood (with help from Alfie the dog) head up the passionate young team in this 17th-century country pub it in the pretty Cotswold village of Asthall, where the Mitford sisters were raised. There’s a large selection of over 150 gins, well-conditioned cask ales, craft beers and ciders plus around 45 wines by the glass. The ambitious kitchen uses only the finest local ingredients to create seasonal dishes such as starters of Earl Grey and gin cured salmon, or chicken liver parfait. Follow with mains of braised shin of beef or wild boar burger with skinny chips. If you’re looking for the ‘pub classics’, there’s also beer battered haddock with hand-cut chips. Either way, you’ll want to leave room for one of the home-made desserts, which tick all the right boxes when it comes to comfort food.
