The Ox Barn
The nineteenth-century Ox Barn was formerly home to the oxen that once ploughed our fields.
State-of-the-art agricultural architecture in its time, Caryn Hibbert worked meticulously to preserve the extensive beams, soaring arches and original Cotswold stone rubble walls.
Now, it's a contemporary restaurant which has stayed true to its agricultural roots. Using picked-that-day produce to deliver food which is all about the best ingredients, cooked simply. The menus change in line with the gardener’s harvests and our partners seasonality.
