Grub’s up! 8 of the Best Restaurants in the Cotswolds – Picked by Locals

Best For: Traditional Sunday Lunch

Head chef Joe McCarthy consistently creates wonderful British classics all using local, seasonal ingredients. I particularly love the pub’s handmade pies, especially Joe’s steak and ale pie with broccoli puree, and fondant potato. Fish always features on the menu, too, with the catch of the day changing weekly and always supplied by Patrice Rogers from Chipping Norton direct from the markets.

The Cotswolds are perhaps one of the prettiest destinations for a staycation in England, and cover a huge, 800-square-mile area spanning the counties of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire, Worcestershire and of course, Oxfordshire. And nestled at the heart of the latter, less than four miles from Burford, the historic Wychwood Inn can be found in the picturesque village of Shipton-under-Wychwood.

"Owned by mother and son duo Tracey and Paul Hunt, this family-run business has certainly made a name for itself in foodie circles, having received the prestigious AA Dinner Award and four-star AA Silver Award for the past four years running"
