ABOUT US
The Wild Rabbit in Kingham is a fine dining restaurant and boutique hotel in the heart of the Cotswolds. Recognised in the Top 50 Gastropubs, the Top 50 Boutique Hotels, and awarded 3 AA Rosettes, The Wild Rabbit blends culinary excellence with warm, authentic hospitality.

Our bar team works with organic and homegrown ingredients — herbs, botanicals, fruits, and ferments — to create drinks that celebrate the flavours of the Cotswolds.
These ingredients are paired with refined cocktail-making methods, from clarifications and infusions to fermentation and fat washing, allowing us to add depth, texture, and creativity to our serves.
At the core of our bar is a balance of craft and hospitality. Guests receive warm, knowledgeable service, while our team contributes to the development of cocktails that tell a story of provenance, innovation, and care.
