Restaurant at Burford Lodge
Oxford Road, Burford, OX18 4PH
Burford Lodge's website describes the town of Burford as "a stunning, honey-coloured Cotswold stone town", and it might well include itself in that description. Sumptuous panelling and Regency-style fabrics abound. Comprehensively stuffed with genuine antique furniture, but not lacking in modern twists where opportunity dictates, the rooms are almost in a time warp, yet well able to deal with the pressures of modern living, and nowhere is this more true than in the dining room, open to residents and non residents, offering a menu that is essentially English with European touches. Nor is the Lodge, built around 1814, short on the unusual; after all it is not every hotel where you can choose to have your meal cooked at table on volcanic stones, nor dip fruit, profiteroles and mallows in the Belgian chocolate fountain.Burford Lodge's website describes the town of Burford as "a stunning, honey-coloured Cotswold stone town", and it might well include itself in that description.

A veritable cornucopia of snacks is built round lunch, with light bites of, say smoked haddock fishcake, stuffed jalapeno peppers, or hot hobs, a freshly baked baguette with an attractive choice of fillings. Bigger bites include Thai red chicken curry, or Cumberland sausage with sage and onion gravy. The pie range lists steak, Stilton and mash pie, or various versions of the ploughman's feast.

REVIEWS OF Restaurant at Burford Lodge
French fancy (17 February 2008)
This is a beautiful place - a charming Victorian recreation. The staff are welcoming and the food is very good but some of their fare comes across as frozen rather than homemade. Other than that, they should keep up the good work.
Jo and Jon (13 July 2007)
Our dinner at Burford Lodge was by far one of the most memorable highlights of our UK vacation. My husband and I follow a vegan diet and while making our reservation, we asked if the chef could accommodate us. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. They assured us that would be no problem. When we arrived for dinner, we were seated in a cosy window table and presented with an elegant, specially-printed, multi-course menu designed just for us! I was just blown away. We have dined in many of the finest restaurants, but have never experienced such personal and special treatment. We felt like
Royalty! Each course was perfection - from the savoury sweetness of the locally harvested squash soup to the crispness of the vegetable tart. We were in heaven. And the soy crème brûlée was the most delicious dessert I've ever tasted! I wish I had the recipe. If you find yourself in the Cotswolds, do yourself a favour and make a reservation at Burford Lodge. We are so glad we did and would always remember the great lengths the staff went to make our night so special. A service like that is a real rarity today.
