About the restaurant

At Pythouse Kitchen Garden, you'll find an idyllic atmosphere in which to enjoy fantastic food. We offer covered outdoor seating in our glorious garden and indoor seating in the conservatory and potting shed. Pythouse Kitchen Garden is a lunchtime destination only at present.

Head chef Darren Broom's passion lies in producing food with an unmistakable sense of terroir. For Darren, provenance is not just the backstory to his ingredients, it’s everywhere in the look, feel and taste of his food.

We are keen to champion our own produce first and foremost, providing guests with a unique and ever-changing insight into the seasons. We work closely with the garden team to manage and maintain the garden and to deliver a programme of regeneration and sustainability.

I love this place and we go approx twice a year. Only because of the distance from home but also so it remains "special". The garden is a delight whatever season you visit. The menu accommodates all parties and is always interesting and a twist different. I brought my English friend who now lives in Australia and she said it was simply the best food she'd had. She loved the walled garden too- it made her a bit homesick. Great value for the standard and quality and quantity of food. Excellent drink choices especially their Sprigster range. Highly recommend 👌

About the restaurant

The Ox Barn is a 56-seater destination restaurant under the direction of Head Chef, Charlie Hibbert. Rooted in a passion for the local land, food and entertaining, the carefully curated menus are farm-based and plant-inspired. His team and the gardeners at Thyme work together to select and grow the fruits, vegetables and herbs used to create his Modern British Countryside fare.

The nineteenth century former oxen house is the newest addition to the family of meticulously restored farm buildings. A state-of-the-art piece of agricultural architecture at its conception, Caryn Hibbert worked meticulously to preserve the soaring archways and original Cotswold stone rubble walls, to now house a modern, dining destination - including a contemporary bar and seven and a half metre Charvet open kitchen - to allow for an authentic, heritage-rich dining experience, enabled by today’s best culinary technologies.

We’ve visited Bella Mia before the food and service are always excellent. My only comment from our latest visit was the music was so loud we had to shout when chatting. I did ask if the music could be turned down it was but then raised again. This isn’t a criticism just a comment.

We love the seating areas outside, perfect for late summer sunshine. Unfortunately they weren’t geared up for serving food outside in respect of staffing. But we did ask to sit outside in the end, as did other guests, just had to go in to order our food and get our own drinks. Not a big deal. Main courses were great 😊, the pigs ear croquettes starter were greasy and gritty, not pleasant. No desserts. We love the courtyard seating area by the fountain, feels very Mediterranean ❤️

About the restaurant

The Three Daggers is a traditional, cosy and oak-beamed British pub nestled in the beautiful Wiltshire village of Edington, a mere few miles from the Westbury White Horse.

We are honoured to have won the prestigious Pub of the Year Award for the whole of England in 2020, to have continually held our 2 AA Rosettes for culinary excellence since 2019 and to have been awarded 5 x Gold Stars from the AA for Accommodation excellence.

Our food is traditional British pub food with a twist, all accompanied with a carefully curated wine list alongside ales brewed from in our very own Three Daggers Brewery a moment's walk from the Pub. We also have the lovely Three Daggers Farm Shop, groaning with fresh, seasonal fruit & veg with much of the produce being sourced from our Priory Farm in the village.

It is a very attractive old pub with atmosphere. Our food was really good and beautifully cooked and the staff very good, efficient and friendly, especially the new guy who served at our table. The farm shop onsite is a bonus. We really enjoyed our visit.
