Join us in The Kitchen, our onsite all day dining restaurant in Lower Brailes, Banbury, where you’ll enjoy a range of creative and thoughtfully crafted menus courtesy of Chef Victoria Hamilton and her team.

Breakfast & Brunch | Banbury, Lower Brailes
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and at Feldon, we’ve certainly perfected our morning spread. What better than a leisurely breakfast overlooking the beautiful North Cotswolds countryside? Made using local ingredients, our hearty morning menu includes all the classics, such as a Full English and eggs on toast, as well as a fresh and colourful continental selection with options including fresh and poached seasonal fruit, homemade granola and freshly made pastries. Just-baked bread with local Brailes honey is an unbeatable start to your day, all served with tea, coffee and delicious fruit juices. 
Fine Dining | Banbury, Lower Brailes
Dining out is the perfect way to mark a special occasion. Feldon’s sweeping views and breath-taking summer sunsets make for the ultimate romantic evening out, while a spacious alcove boasting floor to ceiling windows makes for the ideal setting to bring a group together, be it a birthday, anniversary or family reunion. In the summer months, a wraparound balcony gives front-row seats to the panoramic scenery, earning us the title of ‘One of the 30 best places in the UK to eat alfresco’. Throughout the day, our Bar menu caters for all cravings, whether it’s an ‘Olive’ Scotch Egg for a quick bite or a Braised Beef Short Rib Ragu with Pappardelle for an indulgent lunch, served with a side of rosemary fries ‘to share’, of course. Into the evening, four- and seven-course tasting menus showcase the skill of Chef Victoria and her team and feature the finest seasonal produce, boasting dishes from Hand-Dived Cornish Scallop to Miso Cod and cheeseboards spilling over with the best British bites. Vegetarian and vegan menus can be catered for with advance notice, tailor-made with ‘imaginative and well thought out’ offerings so that everyone can enjoy the Feldon food experience. Seasonal supper clubs also make for the perfect celebratory evening. Reservations are encouraged to ensure you don’t miss out, allowing Chef Victoria and her team plenty of opportunity to meet any dietary requirements and maximise your experience.
Restaurant Opening Hours | Banbury, Lower Brailes
The restaurant is open throughout the week, with a daytime Bar Menu available from midday to 5pm, lighter meals served Sunday-Tuesday evenings from 6–8.30pm and dinner between 5–8.30pm from Wednesday to Saturday. As soon as you pull into Feldon’s entrance, you’re greeted by Cotswold stone walls and catch a glimpse of the modern hotel to the right, before your eye is inevitably drawn to the expanse of greenery beyond. Walking into the restaurant, note the pared back décor as you’re greeted by Restaurant Manager Nick Fenton and his warm, friendly team. Once seated, you’re free to stare at the panoramic views through floor-to-ceiling glass, perhaps enjoying a drink on the balcony in the summertime or enjoying the cosy atmosphere indoors.
Banbury and the Surrounding Area
Feldon is proud to fall under the Cotswolds catchment area and this is reflected throughout the business, from the dry Cotswold wall that greets guests on arrival and the local artists on display, to the thoughtful touches in the hotel bedrooms including books by local authors and about the surrounding area. We encourage all overnight guests to explore the rich experiences on our doorstep, whether it’s a day exploring the clusters of honey-hued villages situated in close vicinity to Feldon or a visit to the nearby Daylesford Farm. Recognised as one of the most sustainable organic farms in the UK, Daylesford Farm’s iconic flagship location features an award-winning farmshop where you will find a Zero Waste Pantry, as well as stunning collections in its Homeware mezzanine and Garden Room. The world-renowned Cotswolds Distillery is right around the corner, offering tours and samples of its award-winning gin and whiskey and for those looking to get active, some of the country’s most scenic routes for walking and cycling are at your disposal, meandering up and over the rolling Cotswold hills and fields.
More Than a Restaurant
The Kitchen is part of Feldon Valley, which comprises modernist accommodation featuring 25 beautiful onsite rooms arranged across one main building, and four standalone lodges nestled in woodlands that runs parallel to the on-site golf course. We strive to use local suppliers and services at Feldon, with profits from the hotel operation given back to local and national charities to help worthwhile causes. We strive to be respectful of nature and have policies in place to protect and nurture this beautiful corner of the Cotswolds. We grow our own summer fruits, herbs and salads to help encourage bees and wildlife and have also installed over a hundred bird and bat boxes across the property. Our bathroom amenities are organic, as are our spa treatments, and our hand soaps are recycled. Even our hotel design encompasses a living roof and when we built our lodges, we planted thousands of bulbs to frame the boardwalk in spring. Every season brings something new and beautiful to enjoy at Feldon, reflected in our seasonal dishes and ever-changing menus.
