The current management has boldly expanded the menu, opened for breakfast, provided access to its kitchen garden and detailed the provenance of all of its staple ingredients. Oh, that more places were like this. Whilst there are two car parks, they barely accommodate the number of drivers who patronise the establishment. The one at the front is backed by an attractive decked eating area. My most recent visit was for a light lunch with a colleague, so we each had a pint of Marston's Burton Bitter, and we had a crab and prawn sandwich and a Parma ham, and mozzarella sandwich, sharing a bow of chips between us. This light lunch was delicious, the service was good and the bill, including a large tomato juice, was £26.60. A firm favourite and we'll be back again.

It always used to be the best pub in the Bidford, Broom and Wixford axis and it looks to be back with a bang. The new owners have really spruced up the place, but they have retained the rustic style too. They seem to be heading in the gastro pub direction but I would still feel comfortable going in for a couple of pints which can't be said about a lot of similar venues. They had some really good ales on- I stuck with the purity mad goose as you can't get them up in the grim north, it's good to see them embracing the local upstarts! The food was fantastic- I started with Crab Nachos which were incredible, really fresh and a large portion. They were also available as a main but I think they would have been too much of a good thing. These were followed with the Frito Misto; whitebait, prawns, squid and white fish (Couldn't tell what type but i'm no expert!), in a light crispy batter with new potatoes, samphire, special tartar sauce and crispy noodles. The fish was well cooked, the sauce excellent and I cleared my plate but the noodles seemed a bit out of place and didn't add anything other than bulking out the plate a bit. The other highlights from our group were the pint of prawns- literally a pint glass brimming with steamed prawns, traditional cocktail sauce and bread a butter, the goat's cheese tart and the sea bass served with loads of lovely fishy bits like clams and mussels. Everything was really well presented on your plate. Everyone raved about the triple cooked chips- a concept Rhod Gilbert sums up perfectly for me; "Why didn't they get a chef who could nail them first time around?!" But despite my scepticism they were really good! The only thing that a I could grumble about would be the lady who took our order was a little bit brisk and some customers could see this as rude but the rest of the staff were really friendly and I am only really searching for a criticism! Even the bill was reasonable; just over a ton for four with a bottle of wine and several pints of ale. I really hope these guys succeed, they have hopefully turned around a lovely local pub with a boat load of history. The food and drink is outstanding and fairly priced. The Broom Tavern is just what the area needs as most of the local pubs have struggled in recent times. If they keep the standards up hopefully they can expand and spread their excellence in an area crying out for it!

There's more and more vegan food available in pubs, and this place is well ahead of the curve in beautifully cooking and marketing it. Quality gastropub food at very reasonable prices. We had a nice chat with the manager, the service was gracious and friendly, and two fireplaces made for a very cosy atmosphere. By the time we left, it was full of Sunday diners and drinkers, lots of kids, a very fun family atmosphere. Delightful - we'll be back!

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.
