    Our food

     

    Richard, Solanche, and the team at The Royal Oak are proud to offer Michelin-starred dining on the edge of the Cotswolds, featuring a seasonally driven, wild food focused menu. We work closely with a small group of high-quality producers who share our commitment to eco-friendly practices. Much of our game is sourced from the surrounding hills and estates, supporting local wildlife management and ensuring minimal environmental impact.

     

    We are proud to partner with our neighbors at the renowned Paddock Farm, who practice regenerative farming and provide all our eggs from their super-free-range flock, housed less than a mile from the pub. Their market-garden, no-dig vegetables, rare-breed pork, and Hereford beef reflect our dedication to local, sustainable sourcing and supporting practices that enrich the land and community.

     

    Due to the nature of our seasonal menu, we are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions that pose a serious health risk, including dairy, nut and egg allergies, and we are not equipped to cater for vegan diets. However, we are pleased to welcome vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten-free guests. To ensure we can best meet your needs, we kindly request 48 hours’ notice. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
