Just five miles outside Oxford, in the charming village of Toot Baldon, you'll find The Mole Inn, a 300-year-old country pub brimming with rustic character. Its pristine, lavender-filled gardens offer a stunning backdrop for al fresco dining, with an outdoor kitchen, wood-fired pizza oven, and BBQ for warmer days. Inside, exposed beams, rough-hewn walls, and open fireplaces create a cosy and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the local real ales or a leisurely meal. This 2 AA Rosette establishment has a reputation that precedes it, even gaining recognition with a Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons Award for excellence.

The Mole Inn prides itself on a seasonal menu that showcases modern British and European cuisine, with a strong emphasis on locally sourced ingredients. Expect dishes crafted from fish delivered daily, lamb from Oxfordshire, free-range Blythburgh pork, and game from local estates. Whether you opt for pub classics, more adventurous à la carte options, or their famous Sunday roasts, the quality of the ingredients shines through. With a commitment to friendly service and a vibrant community feel, including events like live music and tapas nights, The Mole Inn offers a memorable dining experience, making it a well-regarded hidden gem in the Oxfordshire countryside.
