You'll find this restaurant in the village of Salford, just a short drive from Chipping Norton.
Hitchmans takes its cooking seriously without making a fuss about it—the kitchen works with seasonal ingredients sourced as locally as possible, and the menu changes regularly to reflect what's genuinely available right now. That approach means the food always feels vibrant and thoughtful, whether you're coming in for a casual lunch or celebrating something special.
The atmosphere here gets the balance right. It's friendly and welcoming without any stuffiness, with staff who know when to check on you and when to leave you be. The space works equally well if you're dining solo, bringing the family along, or settling in for a quieter evening with someone special. This is the kind of place that reminds you why the quieter parts of the Cotswolds have such excellent food hidden away in them. The cooking genuinely tastes of the region, but everything stays relaxed and unpretentious.
Salford itself is worth a wander after you've eaten, and if you want to make more of the day, Chipping Norton is just minutes away by car. The market town has its own appeal and plenty to keep you occupied if you're looking to extend your visit.
