We Only Went and Won!

We are so proud to announce that The Baskerville has been awarded Gold for the Tourism Pub of the Year category at the @visitengland 2020 National Finals. The Hannah family would like to give a huge thank you to all our staff, old and new for helping us make this possible. The Visit England Pub of the Year awards recognise pubs that make a significant contribution to tourism in their area, with a food and drink offering that includes quality locally sourced produce.

After one of the most challenging times in hospitality, this achievement is amazing, and we would like to thank everyone for supporting us.

Pioneer – our new installation is opening mid-October, with a new menu. The space will be heated by infrared freestanding lamps, and the furniture will be an eclectic mix of country farmhouse and quirky pieces such as Chesterfield sofas and pommel horse benches.

Our grill is fuelled by lumpwood charcoal and either Ash or Cherry wood.

We look forward to welcoming you very soon.

Order one of our family feasts 24 hours in advance, and enjoy a sharing experience ideal for parties of 4 to 6.

We are proud that our rooms have recently been awarded ‘4-star Silver’ by the AA.  Our four tastefully decorated rooms – named after locks on the Thames – are clean and cosy with a relaxing, neutral colour scheme and wooden furniture. Enjoy a restful nights sleep on a comfy King-size pocket sprung mattress and wake up to a steaming hot shower, the morning paper and a hearty cooked breakfast.

You’ll find the Baskerville just a stones throw from the river making it perfect watering hole for hungry walkers seeking a hearty Ploughman’s or homemade pie on a Thames Path ramble – muddy boots and soggy dogs are most welcome! Our spacious restaurant is a stylish yet modest place to enjoy a memorable 3-course meal.

Compassionate farming, sustainability, localism and seasonality are at the forefront of The Baskerville’s ethos. Our accomplished kitchen brigade work tirelessly to source only the best quality local meats, cheeses, fruit and vegetables as possible. Our bread is baked three miles away at Lawlor’s Bakers and much of our meat is reared on Oxfordshire soil.
