Head Chef Matthew Laughton serves modern British food in the award-winning restaurant at Russell’s, with local Vale of Evesham and Cotswold produce featuring throughout the daily-changing menus.
The modern, airy dining room is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with friendly staff and laid-back service combining to create a relaxed and warm setting, day and night.
The Cotswold Hills and surrounding area is renowned for its world-class locally grown produce, with farmers markets and food festivals a regular feature on the local calendar. The area is also home to a wealth of good-value, unpretentious farm shops and delis, displaying and selling Cotswold meats and game, pickles, chutneys and jams, cheese from local dairies, and some of the finest vegetables in the UK including the famous Vale of Evesham asparagus.
The menu includes Russell’s prawn cocktail, filo-baked goat’s cheese crottin, Scotch rib-eye steak, fresh fish, salads, sticky toffee pudding and British cheeses.
On Sundays, we serve whole joints of roasted meat flanked by a selection of seasonal vegetables and accompaniments and carved at the table. Just ask about the Sunday Spread when booking. (Only available to parties of 6 or more)
