Pit Kitchen in West Oxfordshire

This is a brilliant addition to the area. Casual dining on communal tables under a canopy or on benches by the fire pit. The food is Turkish mezze sharing plates and open breads (choice of lamb, mushroom, halloumi etc) and absolutely delicious. Good selection of local beers and ciders. There’s also wine. My only suggestion would be more cocktails! But they do G&Ts. The staff is friendly. The views are outstanding. We will be back!

This place is just superb. Now in bigger and better premises just outside Moreton-in-Marsh the successful formula of bringing the best quality street food from hip London to a beautiful countryside setting in the Cotswolds offers a real treat for all. The setting is simply glorious. A converted farm building now holds the open plan kitchen where you see the team barbecuing the meats and veggie options over open fires with enough under cover seating for any large gathering of friends. But it's the views and setting that set this place apart. Acres of wild meadow for the kids to play around in whilst the grown ups can relax with some wine or craft beer whilst watching your order being barbecued. Life doesn't get much better than this. And of course the real star is the quality of the food. We could't choose so had one of each and shared. The corn fritters were crunchy and sweet, the Shawarma flat bread was delicious with perfectly barbecued lamb, and the mezze was the best I've ever had. Think of the best Middle East food you've ever tried and bring it to a beautiful Cotswolds setting and this is Pit Kitchen. A special shout out to the team who served and greeted us and to Adam and George who were busy preparing for a very large birthday catering event but still found time to come over and chat and check everything was ok. We had lunch but seeing the open pit fire and festoon lighting, we will definitely be back for an evening.

Food was top notch and impressive views but on the expensive side, especially when it’s self service. Self service makes it feel impersonal. They put bins and a bowl for cutlery on a big table with water in which presumably is to clear your own table? I think this is a bit too far when charging £17/18 for a small main to expect that. Drinks at £5.50 for a small, bang average can is too much.

Try at least once and come with as many people as you want. Book ahead if a large party. Makes a great outdoor casual social venue. …BBQ vibes * Limited menu =easy to choose * Lovely views/surroundings * Plenty of parking * Food tasted great * Value 4… amount of chicken on the shawarma was titch (compared to lamb neck) the side portion of chips with a dollop of aioli for £5..underwhelming and a tad high. Notes: No host. Just sit wherever you want and order at counter. (Unless you reserved for a large party) No service ie collect your food from counter when food plated and buzzer sounds Not…BYOB Outhouse-like toilets Dog-friendly

Great location. Very nice food ( had the lamb). Staff very personable. £5.50 for 330ml can or the best part of £10 a pint is frankly obscene.

What could be better on a warm summer evening than cracking freshly cooked food on a hillside overlooking the Cotswolds. Highly recommended

Amazing food, super quick and really friendly staff. Nice set up with plenty of seating, definitely value for money. Will be coming back!

The experience starts with the drive through the tall crops into the grassed parking area. Once out of the car you smell that meat on bbq wood cooking so follow your nose to the seating area.l Large banquet rustic tables await with the friendly service at the order place / cooking pit. A log fire pit adds to that wood smell and soon the food is ready. Delicious and perfectly cooked and set of by the country views. Dog and family friendly. A very good experience..hope to return.

Said I'd write down what I was just saying to my wife in a review, so here it is (not) verbatim: What more could you possibly want from food? Exceptionally tasty, thoughtful and meticulously prepared dishes that have clearly been perfected over a long period of time, served unpretentiously and with a view of rolling fields and blue skies. Admittedly the weather was fortuitous but I can't imagine a dining experience that hits all these factors better. 100/10.

Amazing setting, amazing food and run by lovely people. The flatbread is freshly baked to order and is a thing of dreams. All the bbq meats and veggie options also done to perfection.
