Sir Charles Napier

Michelin Starred Restaurant in Chinnor, Oxfordshire, with beautiful gardens & beechwood walks – but only 10 mins from M40 Junction 5 or 6.

“Though the long-term proprietor, Julie Griffiths, hates the term, this pub high in the Chiltern hills, lays claim to being the original gastropub. From relatively modest beginnings, it has become a much-loved treasure, renowned for smart modern brasserie food – scallops with crispy pork belly, turbot with samphire and Jersey royals – and a lovely setting. Best of all are the gardens, scattered with fine rounded sculptures by Julie’s partner Michael Cooper, which make a terrific backdrop for a summer’s lunch. It has a great wine list, too.”
