Harden's survey result
Summary
“Really delicious, well-executed, restaurant-quality food” has established this 17th-century village pub as a Cotswold star under former Simpsons head chef Nathan Eades and Liam Goff since they took over in late 2023; although “it’s a limited space so gets noisy when busy”. The founders meanwhile have new openings nearby: The Horse and Groom at Bourton on the Hill and most recently The Hollow Bottom at Guiting Power.
Summary
“The cooking is really excellent here” – “the best I have ever had in a pub” – says a Putney-based fan of this Cotswolds inn from former Simpsons head chef Nathan Eades and Liam Goff. “The decor could do with a bit of money, but at least the focus is on good food and pleasant local service” – “and it isn’t yet full of Londoners like us, despite Giles Coren’s efforts!” Top Menu Tips – “the amazing celeriac pie” and the “ham hock for two”.
Summary
“Newly refurbished Cotswolds inn now serving high-end pub food” from Nathan Eades and Liam Goff, formerly of The Wild Rabbit in Kingham. “Definitely one to watch”, its cooking is “delicious, well executed and hearty” and “service charming”.
For 35 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
