They even have a raised bed garden behind the inn. The inn is in a stunningly beautiful building in the stunningly beautiful village of Upper Oddington, east of Stowe on the Wold. We had a 7:00 pm reservation and were seated immediately in the period dining room. The patrons consisted of local residents at the bar, inn guests and other travelers. The dining room was very clean. The wait staff was very attentive, sharpely dressed and very polite. Norman, the owner, explained the difference between cask and keg beers and allowed me sample several ales and ciders. I selected the cask drawn amber ale from North Cotswold Brewery. It had excellent flavour and a clean finish. Norman also checked on our meal several times. He was very engaging and fun to talk with. Next we ordered dinner. My wife had the ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce, chips, sautéed mushroom and onion rings. The steak was prepared exactly as ordered. The peppercorn sauce was so good she used it on her chips also. The mushroom had excellent flavour and complimented the steak and peppercorn sauce. She had a 1/2 pint of Thatchers Golden Cider, which was also very good. I ordered the special, crispy pork belly with a sweet patato purée, fondant potatoes and roasted new carrots. Everything was excellent and complimented each other. We finished the evening with coffee and the sticky toffee pudding. It was moist, flavourful, drizzled with a caramel sauce and accompanied by a dollop of excellent vanilla ice cream. We didn't need it but finished the whole thing. My wife said it's the best dessert she has ever had. We had an excellent meal and a wonderful time in a lovely setting. People from Stowe, Bourton on the Water, Chipping Camden and even Cheltenham need to get out there. I would go every week if I didn't live 3,000 miles away.

Gourmet desserts. Salmon encruste was excellent as was the whole Sole. Tried a standard pub dish, beef and mushroom pie and it was heavenly homemade with a delicate crust.

Well done!!!

The food: simple yet amazing, the rooms: clean and good enough, the bar and restaurant: a winner.

After a long spell of avoiding this place I heard it had recently changed ownership and had changed…read moreto a proper restaurant. The location is ideal for most and simple to locate. We were a large party and given the chefs table next to the kitchen. A spacious and comfortable area that's set away from the other diners complete with a view of what happens in the kitchen. You will need long arms as the table is enormous and he plates are sometimes difficult to grab. Outside the chefs kitchen table room the other dinners seemed to have well spaced tables and comfortable seating. We opted for the Sunday platter with everything. Needless to say the platter was absolutely huge and contained everything.. vegetables came on separate plates, but I defy anyone to finish the entire thing. Thankfully they will offer a doggy bag-type arrangement. The meats were nicely cooked and even some crackling for the old school among us. The staff were very attentive and pleasant, the food was fine for us. Some may wish for a slightly thicker gravy with their meat, but as most of my party are from the North of England, gravy-a-plenty was fine. We also had desert, Eaton Mess and sticky toffee pudding. Nothing was left except a sense that we had all over-eaten and will (possibly) suffer for it later in life. Prices were reasonable, service was good and overall we were very impressed with how the restaurant has changed from its previous incarnation. Ideal for family, friends or just a good, hearty meal with a very nice of the Cotswolds. As a final note, we had a vegetarian order with us. He's not normally a carrot-only enthusiast, but is very fussy about meat (he likes meat cooked until it's "boot leather" which wasn't available here). The feedback was that this option was unimaginative, but did have many vegetables and the portion size was enormous. For those who aren't vegetarian, you'll have no problem. Support your local restaurant and book now. Highly recommended.
