RESTAURANT REVIEW: The Boxing Hare at Swerford
06/01/2020
I was looking for somewhere special in the Cotswolds to take my wife for a lunch to celebrate her birthday and, on finding The Boxing Hare at Swerford, it's fair to say we struck gold.
Located just a couple of miles from Chipping Norton, I was not familiar with this establishment but, on a bright Saturday in early January with our two children in tow, we were afforded a very warm welcome from the friendly staff.
