Burford and Maison Blanc for lunch............

Burford is truly a very good example of a typical Cotswold town. The beauty of the town shines through, even on a cloudy day. There is a large public car park at the lower end of the town and walking from there gives you a lovely feel of the streets, houses and buildings.

 

Burford High Street

 There are many restaurants, pubs and coffee shops to choose from. Today we chose Maison Blanc.

Their opening hours are: Monday - Friday          8.30am - 5.00pm
                                    Saturday and Sunday   8.30am -  5.30pm

A view of the entrance.

There was a warm and welcoming feeling from the staff as soon as we entered through the doors. They were helpful, polite and very efficient. Nothing was a bother for them. We tried the open sandwiches, the Tartines, with chicken, avo and dried cured bacon. In one word, delicious!! The menu is large and varied and there is definitely something for everyone.

A warm and inviting interior.



 

We were very tempted by the delicious cakes and desserts but opted for Lattes instead. There will have to be a next time.......

Café latte

 

We arrived early and spent over two hours chatting and eating, and in that time the café filled up quickly over the lunch period. At no time did we feel rushed or feel that we needed to vacate our table.

The staff were excellent.

On your way out, you pass all the delicious cakes and breads and only a strong-willed person will be able to resist!!

Garden Terrace Cafe at Batsford Arboretum

We had a lovely lunch at The Garden Terrace Cafe at Batsford Arboretum last Friday. The weather was mixed but the sun came out around lunchtime and the outside terrace filled up quickly. The sandwiches were filled with delicious fillings and there were several options to choose from.

The outside terrace

Batsford Arboretum and Garden Centre is close to the beautiful village of Bourton on the Hill. It is also about 3 miles from Moreton in Marsh.
