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.

Well done!!!

After being disappointed in Chipping Norton, I decided to head into the country seeking a quiet pub…read morefor lunch. This place was absolutely what I was looking for. The ambiance was exactly what you'd expect in a quiet inn in the countryside. Exposed beams and stone, a big hearth fireplace, clean tables, floors, bar area and restrooms. The service was attentive, but not overly so. I ordered quickly and the food was well timed. I had the fish and chips, which honestly had a bit too much batter for my taste, but the batter was so good, that didn't matter at all. The chips were perfect, and the peas were the perfect compliment. It is clear this is a local gathering spot. By the time I had finished, the bar area had filled with locals catching up and having a good time with each other. If you're touring the Cotswold's and in need of a perfect pub lunch, this place is it. Don't bother with trying to park or navigate the scaffolding of Chipping Norton. Head to the Chequers. It's well worth it.

We weren't sure what to expect on Sunday afternoon in Chipping Norton since most places are closed or close early on Sundays. We started with the Baked Camembert with rustic bread and an apple chutney. This was a great starter to share with a couple folks and enjoy with wine or a draft beer. For our entrees we chose the Sunday roast and the chicken and leek pie. I realize that England has gotten some bad rap in the past about their food not tasting good, which this place disproves. The roast was cooked to rare and was accompanied by roasted potatoes and root vegetables. In addition, there was a side of steamed vegetables made of squash, leeks, and kale. The Yorkshire pudding was a nice addition to the meal. The chicken and leek pie had the same steamed vegetables as well as mashed potatoes and gravy. The pie was very tasty. We also got the cauliflower and cheese bake. It was a side large enough to share. The rum cake was great at the end. The chef is from Jamaica and very talented and the service here is impeccable. We will probably be back again before we leave in a couple days to try the rabbit or something else.
