About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
The Ox Barn is a 56-seater destination restaurant under the direction of Head Chef, Charlie Hibbert. Rooted in a passion for the local land, food and entertaining, the carefully curated menus are farm-based and plant-inspired. His team and the gardeners at Thyme work together to select and grow the fruits, vegetables and herbs used to create his Modern British Countryside fare.

The nineteenth century former oxen house is the newest addition to the family of meticulously restored farm buildings. A state-of-the-art piece of agricultural architecture at its conception, Caryn Hibbert worked meticulously to preserve the soaring archways and original Cotswold stone rubble walls, to now house a modern, dining destination - including a contemporary bar and seven and a half metre Charvet open kitchen - to allow for an authentic, heritage-rich dining experience, enabled by today’s best culinary technologies.

    Outstanding in every way! The venue is gorgeous! Keith the manager a knowledgeable and engaging guy. One of the best cosmos I’ve ever had. The meal was our best in the Cotswolds and we are foodies from SF. Michelin star plus!

    Very disappointed with the main course Sauce was served cold and the meat was supposed to be roast pork when Infact it was so chewy I was unable To swallow it when I attempted to cut with a steak knife i couldn’t even cut the sinew off. Very underwhelming Service was excellent

    Spacious, comfortable with very nice feel about the place. Menu pushed us to choose things we wouldn't have thought of, and pleased it did. Very nice food. Nice service. Interesting estate to wander around if weather good.

    Excellent food. Beef made to perfection. The pear and blue cheese wonderful. Dressing light and great taste. Excellent wine selection. Hard to find. Need to go thru the little town and then follow signs.
    The Ox BarnResponded on April 7, 2025
    Dear Karen, We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your food. We are trying to give clear instructions on how to find us, as our main entrance is not on the main A road . Sorry it was a bit of a nuisance getting to us. Hopefully it will be easier next time. Best wishes Natasha
