The Fox at Barrington is a beautiful Cotswold pub located right on the banks of the River Windrush in the gorgeous village of Great Barrington. Just two miles from Burford, the pub is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery of the Cotswolds. The Fox is run by the King family, who took over in early 2022.

The food at The Fox is outstanding, and the menu features a variety of classic pub dishes and more adventurous options.

The pub also has seven tastefully decorated bedrooms, all newly refurbished in 2022. Whether you’re looking for a place to relax with a drink, enjoy a delicious meal, or stay overnight, The Fox at Barrington is the perfect choice.

AFTERNOON TEA MEETS THE PUDDING CLUB |
We had a wonderful afternoon tea experience at Three Ways House Hotel. Known for their famous-all-over-the-world Pudding Club, the cake layer of this particularly afternoon tea was one we had greatly anticipated. And rightly so… it was utterly delicious! The homemade scones, served with a generous dollop of clotted cream and strawberry jam, were excellent. The sandwiches equally so, featuring a variety of very generous fillings.
