This meant finding something to do to while away several hours and I'd be lying if I said that there were many options. After exploring the grounds of a nearby church there were about 2.5 businesses remaining to explore. Thankfully, Farmers Arms was one. I asked very little of Farmers Arms. Though they do serve food I saved that for the only other place in town (The Old Post Office). Instead, this was a pub stop only but one that was enhanced thanks to an intact Scrabble game available for patrons. A couple of pints over a game of Scrabble as I watched a handful of other drinkers and eaters come and go proved not a bad way to kill a couple of hours. A pool table sat mostly unused but I could imagine that being more of a draw than Scrabble for some patrons. I well appreciated the fact that the staff at Farmers Arms didn't mind me hanging out there for several hours even when I was spending very little. I'd not set off with an intention to go to Farmers Arms - or Guiting Power - but if I stumbled across it and wanted a pint neither would I object to a stop here, pretty much in the middle of nowhere.

They even have a raised bed garden behind the inn. The inn is in a stunningly beautiful building in the stunningly beautiful village of Upper Oddington, east of Stowe on the Wold. We had a 7:00 pm reservation and were seated immediately in the period dining room. The patrons consisted of local residents at the bar, inn guests and other travelers. The dining room was very clean. The wait staff was very attentive, sharpely dressed and very polite. Norman, the owner, explained the difference between cask and keg beers and allowed me sample several ales and ciders. I selected the cask drawn amber ale from North Cotswold Brewery. It had excellent flavour and a clean finish. Norman also checked on our meal several times. He was very engaging and fun to talk with. Next we ordered dinner. My wife had the ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce, chips, sautéed mushroom and onion rings. The steak was prepared exactly as ordered. The peppercorn sauce was so good she used it on her chips also. The mushroom had excellent flavour and complimented the steak and peppercorn sauce. She had a 1/2 pint of Thatchers Golden Cider, which was also very good. I ordered the special, crispy pork belly with a sweet patato purée, fondant potatoes and roasted new carrots. Everything was excellent and complimented each other. We finished the evening with coffee and the sticky toffee pudding. It was moist, flavourful, drizzled with a caramel sauce and accompanied by a dollop of excellent vanilla ice cream. We didn't need it but finished the whole thing. My wife said it's the best dessert she has ever had. We had an excellent meal and a wonderful time in a lovely setting. People from Stowe, Bourton on the Water, Chipping Camden and even Cheltenham need to get out there. I would go every week if I didn't live 3,000 miles away.

When we got back we ordered lunch and found a spot out in the garden to wait for out food. The pub itself is the perfect picture of a country pub and it has a beautiful garden with a nice stream running through it. It's a great place to sit and drink a pint. The menu is your typical British pub fare. Fairly cheap and standard. Our food arrived reasonably quickly and was what I expected for the price. The chips were obviously manufactured and frozen and then sausage sandwich was passable but not impressive. Fortunately I didn't pay much for all of it. The one highlight for me of this pub was their excellent selection of Samuel Smith's ales on draft and in bottles. I have always loved Samuel Smith's and this was the first place in the area that I'd found it available. All in all I was less than impressed. It is such a shame to waste such beautiful pub in a nice spot on such mediocre food and service. Perhaps if I'm out on a bike ride through Withington I'll stop by for a pint of Sam Smiths, but I don't think I'll be going back for a meal.
