The Blue Boar Oxfordshire

Overlooking the market square in the historic town of Witney, just seven miles from Burford Golf Club, The Blue Boar dates back to the 17th century. For 200 years, this Cotswold coaching inn bore the name of The Marlborough in honour of the Duke before its original name was restored when it reopened its doors in 2011.

Following our extensive restoration we now offer a 70-seat restaurant, bar area, function room, imposing courtyard and 20 boutique-style bedrooms. 

For an overnight stay, our 20 en-suite bedrooms have been sympathetically designed to reflect the uniqueness of the building. One of the many personal touches found in each of our rooms is a cosy ‘Witney blanket’, placed in celebration of the town’s history.

In addition to air conditioning, a kettle with a selection of speciality teas, a hairdryer, iron and ironing board and smart HD TV, all 20 rooms benefit from free superfast WiFi. Bedrooms located in the main building of the Blue Boar also offer a Roberts radio and Nespresso machine with coffee pods. Each en-suite bathroom contains a power shower and range of toiletries. 

Open daily from 8am we serve a seasonal, Mediterranean-inspired menu in our elegant dining room with open kitchen. Whether you’re tempted to try one of our many dishes cooked to order on our charcoal-fuelled Josper grill, or a Neapolitan pizza, freshly prepared by one of our trained pizzaiolos and cooked in our wood-fired oven, you’ll find we use fresh produce and quality ingredients, traceable from farm to fork.

Our courtyard offers al fresco dining in comfortable surroundings, and an extensive and varied drinks menu can be found within our stylish bar. In addition to our wines, spirits and cocktails, we stock beers bought locally from Wychwood Brewery, as well as firm favourites from Fuller’s. For a more private dining experience, our Bosworth Suite can be tailored to meet your needs, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or planning a corporate lunch.
