If you’re dreaming of a perfect Easter escape, where the countryside is starting to bloom and the fires are still glowing inside a cosy pub, then make your way to The Fox at Barrington. Tucked away in the pretty village of Lower Barrington, just a stone’s throw from Burford, The Fox is everything you want in a classic Cotswold country pub—rustic charm, roaring log fires, delicious food, and views over rolling green meadows and the River Windrush. 

This Easter weekend, we’ve put together a proper celebration to make the most of the long weekend, whether you’re planning a family day out, a lazy roast lunch, or a glass of something cold in the spring sunshine. 

Easter Egg Hunts with Countryside Charm 

We’re kicking things off with our Easter Egg Hunt, taking place on Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 4pm. It’s the perfect way to keep the little ones entertained while you unwind. Picture the kids dashing around our lovely pub garden, searching high and low for colourful eggs tucked between spring blossoms and rustic nooks, with the peaceful Cotswold hills in the background. 

The Fox has a big, safe outdoor space, perfect for letting children explore while you enjoy a drink or a coffee in the sun. Whether you’re local or visiting for the weekend, it’s a relaxed, wholesome way to start your Easter celebrations. 

Easter Roasts (Without Lifting a Finger) 

On Easter Sunday, we’re serving up the kind of roast that’s worthy of the occasion—generous, hearty, and home-cooked with care. Think slow-roasted meats, seasonal veg, giant Yorkshire puddings, and rich gravy. It’s the kind of Sunday lunch you look forward to all week, and even better when it comes with no washing up afterwards. 

With the cosy interiors of The Fox, exposed beams, flickering fires, and views out onto the countryside, it’s an ideal setting to gather with friends or family and enjoy a long, lazy lunch. Tables are already filling up, so call us on 01451 844385 or book through our website to secure your spot. 

Live Music in the Garden 

From 4 to 6pm on Easter Sunday, we’ll have live music in the garden, bringing a relaxed festival feel to your afternoon. Sip on a chilled glass of rosé or a crisp local ale while listening to laid-back tunes and soaking up the spring sunshine. It’s the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay just a little longer. 

Artisan Pizzas – Fresh from the Oven 

We’re also excited to be firing up our new artisan pizzas this Easter. These are thin, crispy, and packed with flavour—fresh from our oven and perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself). Whether you fancy a bite after the egg hunt or something to accompany the music and a pint, our pizzas are set to be a new favourite on the menu. 

The Perfect Easter Getaway 

The Fox isn’t just a pub—it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and soak up the best of the Cotswolds. Whether you’re joining us for the day or staying the weekend in one of our charming rooms, Easter at The Fox is all about simple pleasures: great food, good company, and a beautiful setting that feels a world away from the hustle and bustle. 

With riverside walks just outside the door, roaring fires inside, and a friendly team ready to welcome you, there’s nowhere quite like it for a proper country Easter. We’d love to see you. 

Happy Easter from all of us at The Fox at Barrington—see you soon!
