Join mailing listOne of the Cotswolds’ most iconic racing pubs, The Hollow Bottom, has reopened!
Taking it over is the experienced stewardship of chefs Nathan Eades and Liam Goff. Situated in the heart of the Cotswolds, The Hollow Bottom has long been a favourite among racing fans and locals. Nestled within a few miles of the legendary stables of Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies and Jonjo and AJ O’Neill Racing, the pub’s strong horse racing heritage will continue to be celebrated at its core. Eades and Goff, who already run two acclaimed pubs - the Michelin-recommended Halfway at Kineton and Horse and Groom in Bourton on the Hill, which was awarded a coveted Bib Gourmand in 2025 - bring with them a passion for honest food, warm hospitality, and breathing new life into these beloved village pubs. Each week, there will be changes to seasonal menus with some local favourites, drinks that pay homage to the pub’s heritage, delicious wines, and a vibrant atmosphere. The kitchen will be headed up by Josh Murphy, who has worked in Michelin-starred establishments, including Lucknam Park near Bath and Le Champignon Sauvage in Cheltenham. He will be supported by Nathan and Liam’s long-standing chef Felipe Escoda, formerly of The Cross at Kenilworth, The Ritz, and, more locally, The Wild Rabbit. Alongside the established kitchen team is the Operations Director, Silviu Dinu, who has appointed Claudio Liquori as Restaurant Manager, from The Wild Rabbit. Miles Partridge, who has worked in pubs locally, will also be assisting and ensuring the bar runs like clockwork. “Our main aim is to put the heart and soul back into this fantastic pub, with daily happy hours, racing and other events on the TV, a buzzing garden and high-quality food on the plates” - Nathan Eades The pub's doors reopened last week on Friday (25th July 2025).
