The Bat and Ball

Located in the picturesque village of Cuddesdon, Oxfordshire, this community pub reopened in January 2025 as part of The Montgomery Group, a family-run business known for restoring The Lamb Inn in Little Milton. Under the leadership of Head Chef Rick Owens, who previously worked at the two Michelin-starred Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, the kitchen offers an elevated menu of classic pub bangers. We prioritise seasonality, sustainability, and affordability, sourcing iIngredients from trusted local partners such asThe Calnan Brothers butchers, DBF Banbury, Flying Fish Seafood, and Longman’s Cheese. For those looking for an overnight escape, there are five beautifully appointed guest rooms. Each room is vibrant and full of character, capturing the quintessential warmth and charm of a Cotswold home, with bold heritage hues, luxurious Fairfax fabrics, and modern comforts. Whether you’re stopping by for a pint and a snack, enjoying a leisurely Sunday lunch, or seeking a countryside getaway, The Bat and Ball promises an authentic and welcoming pub experience.
