Whether or not you're staying in the cottages here, or are simply passing through the area, the farm shop at Daylesford is totally worth a visit. Pick up some farm fresh eggs & deliciously prepared goods, and stop by at the café for a healthy lunch or a spot of afternoon tea. 

Rated the best pie in England by Giles Coren, The Halfway at Kineton is making moves in the British pub scene. This is your typical country pub, though beyond this, the food is unbelievably good. From its beer battered haddock, its double baked 24-month-old Comte cheese souffle, to of course it's pies, The Halfway is not one to be missed. 

From the team behind other local Cotswold favourites, including The Kingham Plough and The Hare in Milton-under-Wychwood, comes this new reboot of The Norman Knight pub not far from Whichford Pottery (a sight worth popping into independently). Charming and totally tiny with just nine rooms (a mix of upstairs in the inn and outside cabins) set to open this spring, the now-running restaurant benefits from a former Bull in Charlbury head chef. Menu hits already include fried lamb ribs with gremolata, spicy soft shell crab and a very good rotisserie chicken with hasselback potatoes.
