Russells

The kitchen specializes in modern British cooking with a real focus on steaks cooked exactly how you want them, and they've managed to create somewhere that feels both sophisticated and genuinely comfortable—you won't feel out of place in everyday clothes or need to keep yourself stiffly upright. It works equally well whether you're grabbing lunch between browsing the village's independent shops and galleries or celebrating something special.

The building itself has genuine character from its long history, and the central location means you can explore more of Broadway afterwards or head up to Broadway Tower if you fancy the views. If you're moving between villages, it's a sensible stop, with Chipping Campden and Stow-on-the-Wold just a short drive away. The whole place strikes that practical balance between refined and relaxed—somewhere you don't need a particular reason to visit, though you could certainly find one if you wanted to.
