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. 

D'Ambrosi is our deli of dreams. Serving daily changing dishes made to-go, a quick stop at D'Ambrosi is a must before any long adventure. Grab a few salads, charcuterie, and seafood for your picnic lunch and a tartiflette ready to be popped into the oven for when you return. If you also happen to be in the mood for some classic American snacks, head straight to the back of the deli!

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. 

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.
