The Swan, Ascott-under-Wychwood
Did someone say quintessential Cotswold pub with a twist? Let us in, right now. We go deep into the Oxfordshire countryside to have a gander (sorry) at the brand spanking new Swan in pretty Ascott-under-Wychwood.

Regally yours: The Crown Inn, Church Enstone
Fine art and luxe design: this Cotswolds pub is upping its game thanks to a fresh new fleet of B&B rooms. Muddy checks in and checks it out.
-
The Boxing Hare
A strong Muddy fave, The Boxing Hare in Swerford comes out fighting with a Michelin chef, experienced owners, a newly renovated orangerie and celeb clientele. Book us in!

The Bull on Bell Street
I'm a big fan of this stylish brewery/restaurant - it ticks the boxes for cocktail drinkers, girl's lunches, family roasts and pretty much everything in between. Read on for my brand new review.

Mmmm for Marlow
The 16th century The Chequers on the high street in Marlow is a carnivore's paradise. But, um, what happens when a vegetarian goes to review?

Perfectly perched
Looking for walk and lunch combo? Muddy grabs a perch at The Perch, the idyllic riverside thatched pub in Oxford's Port Meadow.
-
The Greyhound Inn, Letcombe Regis
Best-selling author Clover Stroud dons the Muddy elastic-waistband reviewing trousers before getting fully acquainted with the menu at this friendly Ridgeway pub. The cheddar soufflé is the one, apparently.
-
The White House, Bladon
Near Blenheim Palace and happen to be starving? The White House, an award-winning, non-tradional gastropub should do just the trick.
-
Muddy eats: The Royal Oak
This village pub on the outskirts of Marlow has an ex-Soho House head chef in the kitchen. So we felt it our duty to nail three courses and report back. Seriously, the things I do for you.
