The White Hart in Fyfield has been ranked 11th in the Good Food Guide's 100 best pubs, which covers the whole of the UK. The pub was praised for its kitchen garden and ingredients sourced from local farms for its seasonal menus.

Landlady Kay Chandler, who runs the pub with her husband chef patron Mark Chandler, said: 'We are still shell-shocked. I don't think it's sunk in yet.' She described the ranking as 'such a huge achievement for our village pub' when set against competitors at national level.

Two other Oxfordshire pubs made the list: The Bull in Charlbury at number 63, and the Feathered Nest Country Inn in Nether Westcote, on the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire border in the Cotswolds. The overall winner was the Queens Arms in Eccles, Greater Manchester, a Grade II-listed pub described as the world's oldest passenger railway pub.

According to Adam Hyman, owner of the Good Food Guide, the rankings showcase pubs that continue to thrive despite challenges facing the hospitality sector, combining excellent food, atmosphere and a well-kept pint.
