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, we combine culinary excellence with warm, authentic hospitality.

Our menus, created in close partnership with Daylesford Farm, are rooted in seasonality, organic provenance, and sustainability. Under the leadership of Executive Chef Callum Graham, our kitchen is entering an exciting new chapter. Callum began his career in prestigious kitchens across London, Paris, and Geneva, before joining Bohemia in Jersey.
