Lovely restaurant built into old barn behind front bar which has cosy log fire. Lovely food, fresh and local, interesting but not weird and good helpings. Plenty of parking. Great little woodland walk adjacent.
Hand and Shears Inn – WitneyWe selected this restaurant after walking the entire High Street looking for a nice place. We were warmly greeted by the owner/maitre d'/server into a cosy atmosphere with table cloths and candles. There were about 12 tables and we were the first diners of the evening although others came shortly after us. We had studied the menu in the window before entering and decided to indulge in our favourite Italian veal dish - Veal Saltimbocca. We were offered and enjoyed a glass of house wine while waiting for our meal to be prepared and snacked on some warm bread that was promptly brought to the table. Our entrees were served in short order and were piping hot and delicious. In spite of an ample serving it was impossible to resist a portion of home made cheese cake as an "after." All in all, a superior dining experience and we would definitely return.
