the kingham plough<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. The Kingham Plough <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLike many of the best places to eat in the Cotswolds, The Kingham is described as an extremely upmarket pub. Inside this characterful building, made of local Cotswold stone, chef Jonny Pons’ offers a Mediterranean-inspired menu assembled from locally sourced ingredients that change with the seasons. Specialities (in the summer months at least) have been known to include Woodfired Gilthead Bream and Cepe Marinated Pork Tenderloin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This place is also something of an art gallery. The walls are adorned with superb paintings by celebrated 20th-century artists, and they\u2019re all available to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Wild Rabbit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. The Wild Rabbit, Kingham <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf anywhere can be described as the foodie capital of the Cotswolds, then it\u2019s the village of Kingham. It’s home to The Big Feastival \u2013 the annual jamboree of music and food from Blur bassist turned cheese producer Alex James \u2013 and the achingly cool Daylesford Farm Shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll also find this fantastic dining pub in Kingham, is owned by a local lady of the manor, Carole Bamford, who also runs the Daylesford shop. The Wild Rabbit building dates from the 18th<\/sup> century, and here chef Nathan Eades \u2013 with a Michelin star to his name from his previous restaurant \u2013 has in the past offered a mouth-watering ribeye steak with local Bledington Blue cheese; or salted pollock fish cake with sea herbs, shellfish sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s also an incredible cocktail menu to enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Best](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\")

3. Trough Caf\u00e9, Daylesford <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOne of the area\u2019s best organic eateries, Trough opens early so you might be able to try some superb poached smoked kipper or outdoor-reared Daylesford Gloucester ham. During the day you\u2019re sure to be tempted by the choice of cakes on offer. This normally includes Bakewell tart, Earl Grey fruitcake and marmalade and elderflower cake, alongside some daily specials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The evening menu has meat, fish and veggie dishes, alongside one of the most eclectic selections of pizza. Do you fancy black Iberico tomato with buffalo mozzarella, or nduja and sheep\u2019s curd? Both are featured on this caf\u00e9\u2019s menu in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lamb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. The Lamb, Burford <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis is somewhere where fine dining doesn\u2019t necessarily imply small portions. Even if you eat in the main restaurant, where menu choices have in the past encompassed Gressingham duck breast, lobster risotto and mushroom & ricotta tortellini,<\/strong> you\u2019re unlikely to leave hungry! <\/p>\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s also a daily specials menu of British pub staples available in the adjoining bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lamb is a 15th-century building encompassing several former weavers\u2019 cottages, so a quintessentially English experience lies in wait if you come here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Royal Oak<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. The Royal Oak, Tetbury <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMost of the fine dining establishments in the region offer at least one vegan option. There are plenty of highly-rated vegan eateries in nearby Cheltenham, but this place might be the best place for vegans within the boundaries of the Cotswolds AONB. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this community-owned old-world inn, you can play the Art Deco piano while you wait for your starter of vegan samosa or your main course of smoked fish and chips, expertly prepared by head chef Stergios Pikos and his team. The chocolate fondant with vegan vanilla ice cream is also highly spoken of, so make sure you leave some space for dessert! <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Oak.

6. Three Ways House, Mickleton <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis is one of the best places to eat in the Cotswolds if you love your dessert. It\u2019s perhaps one of the best restaurants for pudding fans anywhere in the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 1985, it\u2019s hosted The Pudding Club, where your glass of Bucks Fizz and the light main course are merely preparation for the Grand Parade Of Seven Traditional Puddings. The idea is to taste them all and vote for your favourite at the end of the night. Favourites such as sticky toffee and syrup sponge might be available all year round, while the summer menu might also include cold desserts such as Eton Mess and gooseberry fool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eckington Manor<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Eckington Manor <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMany people think of the Cotswolds as being in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, but the hills actually straddle no less than seven counties. Eckington is one of the prettiest villages in the Worcestershire part of the Cotswolds, and Masterchef: The Professionals champion from 2015, Mark Stinchcombe, is in charge of this restored 12th-century timber-framed manor house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His seven-course tasting menu and three-course a la carte menu are sure to tempt you in the evenings, but this establishment also offers one of the best afternoon teas anywhere in the region. The five options range from a traditional cream tea to a deluxe Cotswold Gin Afternoon Tea as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nEckington Manor.
