The Boxing Hare first opened its doors in 2017, but the journey began long before. The owner, Antony Griffith Harris opened his first restaurant in London in 1987, before moving to another successful location in Notting Hill. Back in 1987, his head chef was Nicholas Anderson. Fast forward to 2017 (and still to this day), you can find the pair together, with Nicholas the head chef at The Boxing Hare. After a period apart, with Antony mastering his craft in the London restaurant scene, Nicholas went off to establish his own restaurant, enjoying recognition such as 3 AA Rosettes and most notably, two Michelin Stars. Now the pair have reunited to bring you one of the Cotswolds best dining experiences, with exceptional food, welcoming staff and reasonable prices, all in the wonderful location of Chipping Norton.
 
There will be no confusion when finding The Boxing Hare, as it is said to be the only country pub in the UK holding the name! Unique in name and in the quality on offer, you won’t find ‘typical pub food’ here, but refreshing, rotating seasonal menus, with something for everyone. On top of the delightful food, this has everything you would wish for from a classic country pub, with great selection of drinks, plenty of parking, large beer garden with stunning countryside views, sun-trap terrace and a range of different areas to dine, each with their own charm. Combine this with the outstanding food on offer, passionate and knowledgeable team, and perfect Cotswolds location, and it’s no surprise that The Boxing Hare is a winner with locals and visitors alike!
