Our lucky winner & their guest (and maybe their dog!) can enjoy a two-night stay midweek for two at The Five Alls in Filkins near Lechlade
Autumns beckons… time to seek out your favourite pub & tuck in! And, thanks to local hospitality heroes, we might just have found your new favourite.
This 18th century inn is the perfect sanctuary, retaining all the original charm a beloved snuggly local pub should. Think exposed rendered Cotswold stone, flagstones and fireplaces flickering and aflame as nights draw in. The pub’s been under new ownership this year, and is in great hands with Tow Downing, Rob Willks and team who understand all the ingredients of a perfect pub, including banging food at great prices! Head chef Lucian Juganaru is like a conductor, helping the best, freshest seasonal produce sing with his changing menus.
It helps, of course, that the Five Alls occupies a very special spot, close to treasures such as Bibury (watch this space for a trout-inspired tasting menu). It even has its own orchard. Tom says: “The end of summer is the best time to celebrate English fruits with trees full of ripe apples, pears, plums and damsons as well as wonderful root veg. It’s also time to add hearty soups of pumpkins and squash, pickles, chutneys and sauces to menus along with dishes celebrating local game.” Bar snacks include mac & cheese bites, crispy olives, popcorn chicken and homemade focaccia. There’s a children’s menu, vegan & veggie options galore and the popular burger and fish & chip nights. The delicious, hearty cooked breakfast alone is worth booking a stay for.
Above the pub are four en-suite rooms with five more luxury, lavender-framed cottage-core bedrooms tucked behind. These all have a stunning, roomy en-suite, and super kingsize beds, wood-panelled and pretty with Pinterest-worthy hues & details such as Roberts radios. They are the perfect base for a rejuvenating stay, all the better for exploring nearby Kelmscott (home of William Morris, celebrated this month!). That way you indulge in more than one of the 40 excellent wines on offer, and locally produced craft ales and guest beers.
The whole Five Alls team deserve huge respect for the sympathetic renovation of this old inn, showcasing its original features, including the exposed oak beams and joists and Georgian sash windows. The jewel-toned colours were inspired by a gorgeous patterned fabric, Oak Mere Indigo by iLiv from Just Fabrics in Burford and the effect is warm, welcoming and chic.
