The Experience

An afternoon you taste and remember

Burford & Beyond is part fine-dining restaurant, part private tour of the Cotswolds' most beautiful corners. Every seat has a view, every course tells a story, and the whole journey is yours for an unhurried afternoon or evening.

Seasonal tasting menu

A five-course menu reimagined each season by our head chef, plated to order in our on-board galley kitchen.

Panoramic touring

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the countryside as we wind gently through Burford and the villages beyond.

A vintage double-decker

Lovingly restored with walnut panelling, sage-velvet booths and brass table lamps — a dining room on wheels.

Local Cotswold producers

Estate game, market-garden vegetables and artisan cheeses, paired with wines from English vineyards.
