The Cherington recently opened and doing everything right, from homemade bread and pasta to delicious drinks enjoyed in the cosy bar or alfresco.

There’s individual dishes along with sharing platters aplenty and even a Sunday roast sharer – complete with a whole harissa, lemon and thyme chicken and posh pigs in blankets. Erm, yum!

It’s super dog friendly and there’s meals for your pooch too (and a bar brimming with free treats for Fido). They’ll love the terrace and huge garden, and so will you, with views over the countryside, facing the River Stour. Perfect to enjoy a bottle or two of something cool on a warm day.
