Rooms
There's a choice of six newly refurbished rooms, with four rooms above the pub, and two with independent access. Whichever one you plump for; all are luxuriously finished with Egyptian cotton linens on five Super-King and one King-size bed. Twin beds are available in two of the bedrooms.
All rooms are sympathetically decorated to suit the rural setting with floral feature wallpaper and antique furnishings, and all the creature comforts to make you feel at home, from mohair throws and glossy magazines to mini-fridges with half bottles of Champagne and towelling robes to Tea Pig teas, homemade cookies and Lavazza coffee machines. Retro white bathrooms feature rain showers and roll top baths and locally made Bramley bath products.
Wake up to a great breakfast, whether it's freshly made drop scones, porridge with local honey or the full English with Arlington White eggs, Kelmscott bacon and Paddock Farm pork sausages.
Restaurant & bar
The Kingham Plough is still very much a village pub that feeds locals as well as gastro-tourists. Head chef Jonny Pons continues the pub's legacy of championing local artisan produce and local sourcing of the very best fresh, local, seasonal ingredients for both the new, all-day bar menu and à la carte menu.
Expect flavourful modern British dishes with Mediterranean influences alongside pub classics on the frequently changing restaurant and bar snacks menus. Vegetarian dishes form part of the à la carte menu and gluten-free and vegan options are always available.
Cotswold lager is a best-seller behind the bar, as well as locally brewed Hooky ale and Butcombe bitter from Somerset. Aspall cider is also on offer, alongside a carefully curated wine list with a selection of 16 wines by the glass and 61 by the bottle. The pub's commitment to local sourcing and using seasonal ingredients extends to homemade sloe gin and elderflower cordial using foraged ingredients.
