"Calling Burford Garden Centre a garden centre is an understatement. It’s an emporium of tufted Moroccan rugs and chocolate in nice tins, with an all-day cafe that’s set up like a canteen—just one that’s had an extreme glow-up. You might spot the odd minor Cotswolds celebrity next to a serene 60th birthday breakfast, or a Schöffel-clad couple enjoying soup and a catch-up. The seasonal British food at this Burford spot is similarly House & Garden photo shoot-ready: juicy slabs of grilled chicken, tagine humming with cumin and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds, and a dessert fridge that demands a second and third look. The twinkling chandeliers make prosecco with your salad feel like a sensible choice for lunch." - sinead cranna
