The Lord Kitchener

Pub and Restaurant in Curbridge, Oxfordshire

A Warm Welcome to The Lord Kitchener

"Truly a real Home from Home"
Often said but never meant more than here.

Claimed to be one of the oldest pubs in Oxfordshire, the Lord Kitchener is situated on the A4095 Bampton road at Curbridge near Witney. Apparently the pub was originally known as The Head of Swine! Quite when the name changed no one knows but presumably sometime after the First World War in recognition of the Secretary of war, Lord Horatio Kitchener, whose face featured on the famous army recruitment poster and now hangs proudly on the pub sign.

The Lord Kitchener is a place whose warm and welcoming atmosphere means that time spent here, lunchtimes or evenings are more like being home with with great wine, food & company. As soon as you're through the door you're aware that the pub is more than it seems. Good humoured joshing and lots of laughter come from around the roaring log fire. With an excellent reputation locally for it's wonderful food it is well worth the visit.

The Lord Kitchener is a real focal point, the main ingredient that makes Curbridge not only lovely, quaint, idyllic, but a real friendly social village. The pub is the meeting place for The Curbridge Social Club, the most vibrant, well organized club, we've found.

The excellent gardens can be enjoyed even on those colder evenings. With the heated patio area and childrens play area, to keep the little ones amused, it would be easy to stay longer than intended.

In the summer take part in the traditional pub game, Aunt Sally, and sample the BBQ's or Spit Roasts which are served.
