  • Our food

    Richard, Solanche, and the team at The Royal Oak are proud to offer Michelin-starred dining on the edge of the Cotswolds, with a seasonally led menu rooted in wild food and sustainability. We work closely with a small network of producers who share our commitment to responsible farming and low-impact practices. Much of our game comes from nearby estates, supporting local wildlife management.

    We source vegetables, rare-breed meats, and eggs from regenerative farms just a stone’s throw from the pub—strengthening our ties to the land and community with every dish.

    Due to the nature of our evolving menu, we’re unable to accommodate dietary restrictions that pose a serious health risk, such as dairy, nut, or egg allergies. We are also not equipped to offer vegan menus. However, we’re happy to cater for vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten-free diets with 48 hours’ notice. Thank you for your understanding.
