Old Trout, The 
 | The Old Trout is full of surprises. The five hundred-year-old, higgledy piggledy building never fails to delight. Discover the intriguing architecture of this hotel; search for your room through narrow passages, past nooks and crannies. The buildings history is suitably idiosyncratic. Before its transformation into a restaurant, it was an antique shop and prior to that, a row of tiny cottages. Previously known as the Thatchers, the change of name to The Old Trout belies the owners sense of humour! Guests may choose from a number of well appointed bedrooms. Despite a number of charming peculiarities, one of the rooms is accessed through a door only three foot six inches high! The beds are very comfortable; four posters are available. A high standard of service is matched by excellent accommodation, to ensure a good nights sleep and relaxing stay.The restaurant and bar will be closed in the evenings throughout January. | | |  |  |

Old Trout, The 29-30 Lower High St Thame Thame Oxfordshire OX9 2AA |  | Booking/Check availability |  | The grand cru Chateau Lynch Bages and premier cru Volnay en Champans lying in the dining area, together with just a suggestion of the aroma of Roasted Cannon of Lamb Provençal, emanating from the kitchen, rather gives away the surprise of what awaits the eager diner.

The combination of sublime food, an extensive and carefully chosen wine list and friendly, unpretentious service ensures that every visit is a memorable one. If you're feeling particularly replete and nostalgic after these epicurean delights, we can even offer you a glass of 1966 Baron de Lustrac bas Armagnac. To enjoy the experience, take your choice of tables. The Old Kitchen is a separate room for parties of up to fourteen. It was used in the filming of Brideshead Revisited for a spot of fine dining and intrigue away from Oxford. In fact The Old Trout has become quite desirable as a film set. The Middle Room and bar is equally fascinating, with its exposed stonework and bread oven in the fireplace. It was the scene of revelry for Oxford University's infamous Assassins Club - a boast upon which we don't wish to dwell for too long. Ask for Table Twenty and you are shown to an intimate lovers nook just off the third dining room. The choice is yours! |  | |  | Visa,Maestro,MasterCard,American Express |  | 6 |  | - Fax/Photocopying
