Oliver Lethbridge An incredible pub. Food is really excellent, the steak and ale pie & the fish and chips being standouts. Great, friendly service. The outside is perhaps a little unwelcoming (it was hard to tell it was open) but the inside was extremely charming and cosy. If I lived in the area, I’d be eating here regularly.

James Excellent meal at The Fox. The salmon was genuinely lovely. Fresh, well cooked, and not messed about with. Food arrived promptly, which is always appreciated when you’re actually hungry rather than on a lifestyle retreat. Staff were accommodating and attentive without being intrusive. Everything ran smoothly, which sounds basic but is surprisingly rare these days. Good food, efficient service, and a place that understands you don’t need theatrics to do things properly. Worth a stop.

Daz Keal What can we say, what a wonderful trip to Diddly Squat. We stayed for lunch and chose the local pork sausage in a bun with skin on fries. The price was very reasonable at £7.50 for the sausage bun and £5 for the skin on fries. Service was prompt and the sausages were the best we had on our trip. You could taste the quality of the produce. After lunch we visited the shop where the staff were equally as friendly. Well worth a trip.

VP We were so lucky to stumble upon The Cinnamon Stick. Located in the small village of Middle Barton where you’d expect nothing around, this restaurant is a total standout. It offers a true taste of Lebanese hospitality and home-style cooking. ​ The quality of food is incredible. Almost everything is made in-house (except for the gelato), and you can really taste the difference. The dishes are authentic, fresh, and truly delicious. It is rare to find such high-quality Mediterranean flavors in this area. ​ The staff is lovely and provides genuine Lebanese hospitality. You can tell the team cares about their guests and the food they serve. They made us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in. ​ If you are anywhere near Oxfordshire, this place is worth the detour. Huge thanks to the team for their service and for bringing such amazing flavors to a quiet corner of the country!

Darren Metters The pizzas from Fire and Wine are made to order (you book an oven slot) and are absolutely fantastic!! The pizza base was cooked perfectly and the toppings were tasty and fresh. We will definitely be going again when we return to the Cotswolds next year.

C L Had our evening meal here and it was delicious, some of the best pub food I have had. Freya the waitress was so lovely and attentive, will definitely be back here!
