When we recently released our Bitten roast guide, The Boxing Hare essentially said “hold my beer” and invited us in to try their Sunday roast. A stone’s throw from Soho House and firmly within the Chipping Norton set, we arrived on a Sunday to an almost full car park.

It was my first visit to Cosy Club, I have only ever heard positive things, so I was pleased to finally give it a go and see what the fuss was about. As soon as we walked in, the vibe felt familiar.

Review: The Mole Inn

I’d been told I’d walk through twinkly fairy light lit trees leading up to The Mole Inn, which I certainly did. Situated just outside of Oxford in Toot Baldon, this welcoming country pub holds that real cosy feel, with low ceilings and old stone interiors. However, let’s get to the good stuff first – the food!
