"I do visit the straw kitchen occasionally and have never been disappointed. Brilliant food! Yesterday's bacon sarnies there were three of us) just perfect beautifully cooked and served with a beetroot relish, unbelievable. All cooked to order, takes a little time but then quality...just cannot be rushed. No matter how busy the SK is, service is always polite and courteous."

"Popped in on a spur of the moment thing. Have eaten here a couple of times before. We sat in the bar area and had a selection of starters. Fresh dressed crab with salad, starter portion of moules mariniere, and tuna carpaccio and a side of fab chips, and crusty lovely bread. With a couple of drinks, the bill came to £38 . The staff were attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. Would certainly recommend. Here in The Cotswolds we are a long way from the coast, so to have a really lovely, fresh seafood lunch was great."

"I’m frustrated and annoyed with booking a romantic meal for our year wedding anniversary, with the current pandemic and work commitments it made a change to make an effort and be excited to visit the boxing hare as the reviews had been excellent. We...were seated in the garden room, next to a family who were on first name terms with the waiting staff and who were so loud I thought I was at a Chelsea match! We received complimentary glasses of champagne and we placed our order for starters and main which were excellent however I felt rushed with the service, as much as I tried to have a conversation all I could hear was this family at decibels to which enough was enough usually I would say something, however rather than ruin there evening I asked for us to be reseated to which the waiting staff were in agreement that they were loud! So why place us next to them? We were given a table in a different part of the pub still busy with other diners giving respect to one another. The table given I was advised I had as it was reserved? I placed dessert order and two lattes with baileys followed by the bill! The bill was a tad on the steep side for a gastro pub perhaps the prices are based on the price of fuel to fill the owners Bentley Overall felt it was a rushed evening disappointed with the seating arrangements,I won’t be returning as I felt what was important to us wasn’t important to the Boxing Hare I’ve had better evenings at The Falkland Arms Great Tew, The Great Western Aynho"

"My wife and I were welcomed into the sun and ushered to a table by lovely waitress. We had a hook ale from the brewery down the road- very nice! I enjoyed an excellent sunday pork roast (me) with all trimmings. Particularly the best carrot and parsnips. Really nice gravy. The most splendid yorkshire. Potatoes were so crisp- the chef really does the veges so so well. My wife had fish and chips. The fish had the best batter and the chips very good. Homemade tartare I think- very nice. Normally she does not like the tartare but this seemed fresh and worked well with grilled lemon. We left big tip and will come back again next month when on holiday- forget Chipping Norton, they all overcharge and the customers and hosts out here in the country are quieter and more friendly"

"This is a lovely little pub in the Cotswolds, situated in a lovely village I’ve known well for years and it’s worth a visit if you just want to visit a quaint little village that has loads of buildings with Cotswold stone buildings, to me this is one of the loveliest parts of the Uk building wise. We were there to visit family and do a walk followed by a pub lunch. The Sunday lunch was good, but I wouldn’t say amazing, I chose wrong? I went for the pork and should have gone for the beef. The pork was slightly over cooked and chewy, but the beef looked cooked to perfection and juicy, my wife went for the beef and I had food envy. The best part about the meal to me was the carrots and parsnips followed by the cauliflower cheese. The potatoes were nice and nicer than most pubs but I thought they were a little over done. All in all it was a nice experience, the staff were friendly and the prices were standard."
