Cosy log fires and rotisserie-style chicken and pork belly, against the backdrop of the Cotswold Hills - have we got your attention?

This winter, Pit Kitchen is turning up the heat at Todenham Farm, near Moreton-in-Marsh, with a brand-new all-weather dining space and a comforting rotisserie-style menu for the colder months.

Set under the shadow of their iconic barn, the 80-cover space will bring all the warmth and charm of Pit Kitchen's open-fire cooking to a cosy indoor setting.

The permanent, all-weather structure stays true to Pit's organic aesthetic, with rustic wooden dining tables, a 45ft hessian runner, greenery, and hops draped from the ceiling. Roaring log fires and festoon lighting complete the look, and will create a welcoming space that's perfectly protected from the elements.

The new winter menu introduces rotisserie-style cooking, with hearty, flavour-packed dishes perfect for the colder season. Highlights include quarter and half rotisserie chicken, slow-cooked pork belly, and generous sides of homemade chips, sourdough flatbreads, and short-grain herby rice. Each dish comes with a choice of spiced, herby, or creamy sauces, bringing a little fire to every plate.

For dessert, guests can indulge in mille-feuille, rich dark chocolate mousse, and a sharing selection of homemade doughnuts, from sticky toffee and treacle to blood orange and pistachio.

Pit Kitchen's menus are built around consciously sourced, seasonal ingredients from local suppliers, including meat from Todenham Manor Farm and fresh produce from Drinkwater Farm.

Known for its bold, open-fire cooking, globally-inspired small plates, and a relaxed communal atmosphere, Pit Kitchen has been delighting food-lovers in the Cotswolds since 2019.

George Uren leads the kitchen with more than a decade of experience in hospitality. After two years training at River Cottage Farm in Dorset, where he developed a deep respect for agriculture, seasonality, and wild food, George went on to work in restaurants of all styles, from Michelin fine dining to casual dining, both in the UK and Australia, as well as food development for leading brands.

Meanwhile Adam Thomas, a natural people person and the driving force behind Pit's warm and welcoming atmosphere, ensures that culture, community, and fun are at the heart of everything they do.

George said: "We've always wanted to create a space where people can enjoy our food whatever the weather. This new marquee will let us do just that, and will create a warm and relaxed atmosphere where visitors can settle in for a comforting meal surrounded by great people, good drinks, music, and the smell of fire."

Adam added: "Pit Kitchen has always been about bringing people together. This new space means we can do that all year round. We can't wait to see it come to life over winter, especially as we head into Christmas."

Pit Kitchen's new covered dining space is the perfect spot for cosy Cotswold evenings, festive gatherings, and lazy weekend lunches. The winter concept opens on November 6, running Thursday - Sunday throughout the winter season.
