Laying claim to being ‘England’s Oldest Inn’, The Porch House was built in 947AD. That’s a lot of pints. Complete with cosy nooks and roaring fires it’s just the image of a pub you want on a Cotswold visit. The first customers back in 947 would have their minds blown by the negronis and cauliflower wings now on the menu but would probably feel right at home ordering the lamb shank and a pint of Brakspear ale.
