About
The Wild Rabbit is a pub with rooms on Church Street in Kingham, one of the Daylesford Stays alongside the Three Horseshoes, the Fox and the Bell. The building is a 17th-century house and farm, listed Grade II, once Conygree Farm (from the Anglo-Saxon for a rabbit enclosure) and later the Tollgate Inn; it has been a pub with rooms since the 1980s. Inside are a glass-topped well and a double fireplace.
The high-ceilinged dining room has an open kitchen under executive chef Callum Graham, cooking a contemporary British menu from Daylesford's organic market garden: à la carte, tasting and vegetarian tasting menus, and Sunday lunch, with sommeliers on hand. It holds three AA Rosettes and is in the Michelin Guide. Lunch is served from Wednesday to Sunday and dinner from 6.30pm to 9pm on the same days; on Mondays and Tuesdays there are light bites only. The pub is open every day from noon to midnight, and dogs are welcome in the bar.
Rooms above the pub range from cosy and classic rooms to suites under the eaves and the Deer Room, in the oldest part, with a super-king four-poster; the Hedgehog family room sleeps two adults and up to two children aged up to 12. There are also cottages in the village and a concierge. Dogs (£15 a night) can stay in the garden rooms and cottages named Mole, Hare, Otter, Owl and Beehive. Check-in for rooms is from 3pm to 10pm and check-out by 11am; cottages run from 4pm to 10am. Breakfast is served in the dining room from 8am to 10am and is included in the room rates. Two ground-floor bedrooms, the Hare and the Mole, are the ones the inn suggests for guests with reduced mobility; both have a full-size bath with an overhead shower rather than a walk-in shower. Guests park in the designated spaces behind the pub, and a shallow ramp leads into the restaurant. The Chicken Shed, a private dining room, seats up to 18, and the inn hosts weddings, parties and company away days. On Saturdays it runs Wandering Rabbit walks across the Daylesford estate (£40, 2026).
The Kingham, Daylesford and the Evenlode walk starts by the pub and comes within about 250m of Daylesford Farm's shop and café.
