This traditional pub in Witney houses an accomplished Cambodian restaurant that stands out genuinely in the Cotswolds.
You'll find authentic Southeast Asian cooking here that goes well beyond the Thai and Vietnamese options more commonly found in the region, yet Cambodian cuisine absolutely deserves the attention.
The kitchen works with vibrant ingredients, fresh herbs, and the complex spice balances that make Cambodian food distinctive. Whether you're already familiar with the cuisine or trying it for the first time, the flavours here surprise and satisfy in equal measure. The relaxed pub setting means you can enjoy seriously good food in comfortable surroundings without any pretension.
Witney itself is a working market town with genuine character, built its prosperity on blanket weaving, and you can still sense that heritage walking around today. The market square remains lively and worth exploring. Because Witney sits between Oxford and the deeper countryside, it functions well as a base for exploring the wider Cotswolds, or simply as a worthwhile stop if you're travelling through the region. The Carpenters Arms is the kind of place that makes a visit feel properly memorable after a day out.
