Bars in Chipping Norton

“First time eating here and we are local to the area.
Fantastic food and service, food was hot and very tasty.. I'm very fussy when eating out and will complain if need to, but this place is spot on. Great service from friendly staff, great atmosphere in the building everyone seems happy and getting along which makes a place. Toilets are clean and tidy. We could not fault the place....I would say that for the quality of food and service and for the atmosphere of the hotel I would say its my favourite local by far..Will definitely be going back. Keep up the great work.”

“Excellent food, recommend the jacket potato’s and a lovely coffee, found while on our bike ride”

“Exceptional service!
We had a corporate booking for 45 people, and the service ( from our very first booking enquiry right through to the last plate of dessert )was absolutely seamless. The food was delicious, and every single guest left happy. Thank you for making it such a great experience!”

“We were having a long weekend exploring the Cotswolds & had booked one night at The Swan - The room was really fantastic and the welcome from the staff truely personal - so we went straight back to reception after check in and booked another night (we were lucky as our room was the only one available for the second night)
Great beers & wines, the food was faultless and the garden is a very special space.
Magical stay - every member of the team had a genuine human touch that they shared with us and all the guests around us.
We were marking our 40th Anniversary as part of the trip - I still don't know how they knew - but the subtly way that they acknowledged the occasion demostrated the thoughtful way that they approach customer service. Thank you.”

“Booked for my mothers Birthday. The whole experience was first class from begining to end. Complementary fizz for my mum on arrival, amazing food, smoked Salmon starter and Venison for main and rounded off with the cheese board. Friendly staff who were very polite and not pushy. The pub itself was very nice with a lovely Cotswold view. Could not recommend this place enough and will definitely be back.”

“Brought my American guests here especially to meet Chef Ashley, winner of the Great British Menu 2025 — the famous culinary TV show.
Unfortunately, Ashley wasn’t in on the day of our visit, but the food was absolutely outstanding! Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour.

On the same trip, we also visited the charming villages of Bibury and Bourton-on-the-Water — a perfect day out in the Cotswolds. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to experience top-class British cuisine in a lovely setting.”

“We visited last night for dinner as we were in the area. The food was incredible, highly recommend the Pea Pesto Soup, and Chicken Ham Leek Pie! Service great, and everywhere looked very clean.”

“Stayed for two nights in room 7. Outstanding service from Edd & his great time, nothing too much trouble. Great food & we tried Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. Will return I. A heart beat!!!! Thank ”

“We stopped here for some lunch on our motorbikes. A very hot day. We also had a unique problem and everyone in the pub tried to help. Rachel came to our rescue. Because of the people at this pub, Chipping Norton will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you to everyone in the Bitter & Twisted. Specially to Rachel and her mom. We will be back soon for another meal and a chat.”

“Received an email in the day inviting us to preorder as they expected a number of walk ins, lovely attention to detail :)”
