Dining & Entertainment
The Duke of Marlborough received the BEST GASTRO PUB award at the Oxinabox awards in 2024 for its culinary excellence led by a recently appointed executive chef. The pub offers two distinct dining areas with roaring log fires and hosts live music nights throughout the week. Groups can order bespoke menus for larger bookings, while all dishes use locally sourced ingredients.

The Cotswolds area, with villages such as Burford and Chipping Norton, is within a 30-minute drive.
