Tucked away in the village of Swerford, just a few miles from Chipping Norton, The Boxing Hare is a true hidden UK gem. This isn’t your average country pub; it’s a destination for food lovers seeking exceptional cuisine in a relaxed setting. 

The pub is the brainchild of seasoned restaurateur Antony Griffith Harris, who brings over three decades of experience from London’s dining scene. Together with head chef Nick Anderson, a two-time Michelin star recipient, they’ve created a menu that celebrates the best of British produce. From 70-day dry-aged steaks to seasonal game and fresh seafood, every dish is crafted with care and precision.

Inside, the pub exudes rustic charm with wooden beams, cosy fireplaces, and eclectic decor. The spacious conservatory offers views of the rolling Oxfordshire countryside, while the large beer garden is perfect for al fresco dining during warmer months.  

Whether you’re a local or visiting the Cotswolds, The Boxing Hare is a must-visit. It’s a shining example of a foodie pub that combines top-notch cooking with the warmth and hospitality of a traditional country inn.
