Since arriving back in 2019, Sebastian and Lana Snow have transformed this 18th-century village hostelry into a style-conscious destination complete with a suntrap beer garden and a three-tiered terrace equipped with pizza ovens and a BBQ. Inside, original features blend with designer curios, paintings, plush fabrics and cushion-covered banquettes, while the kitchen serves up generous and affordable food with strong European overtones. Come here for beef carpaccio, tiger prawn linguine, caramelised onion and Comté tart or chicken milanese with garlic roasties and salsa verde. Pies also feature regularly (lamb with barley, rosemary and leek, for example,) along with dry-aged flat iron steaks, Cotswold game and beef bourguignon ‘with all the bits’. Sides are many and varied, while desserts continue the theme – perhaps frangipane tart with clotted-cream ice cream or white chocolate cheesecake with mango and passion fruit compote. Alternatively, stake your claim ...

Alternatively, stake your claim in the low-beamed, stone-walled bar for a pint of real ale plus some pub grub (beer-battered fish, burgers, nachos, cold-cut gammon with fried eggs). There’s value to be had from the concise global wine list too, with plenty of decent drinking from £23 – plus a goodly number of by-the-glass options.
