A wood-fired oven does a lot of the heavy lifting at this Cotswolds gastropub, turning out everything from flatbreads to pizza alongside a hearty, classic British menu that changes with the seasons. The kitchen leans on local game dealers, farmers, and fishmongers, so venison faggots sit comfortably next to chicken Milanese. It's the kind of pub where nobody's pretending the food is incidental, and the drinks list makes sure the evening doesn't end too soon.
