HAWKSTONE BREWERY & FARMERS DOG EXPERIENCE

Experience two of the Cotswolds' most talked-about destinations with our exclusive Hawkstone partnership. This extraordinary day combines a coveted reservation at The Farmers Dog - one of the region's most difficult restaurants to book - with a behind-the-scenes tour of Hawkstone Brewery, home to the iconic lager made famous by Clarkson's Farm.

Your culinary journey begins at 1:30pm with a confirmed table at The Farmers Dog in Burford. Securing a reservation at this intimate dining spot has become notoriously challenging, thanks to its exceptional seasonal menus, outstanding produce, and the surge of visitors drawn to the area by Clarkson's Farm. As you savour dishes crafted from the finest local ingredients, you'll understand why this celebrated restaurant has captured the hearts of food lovers across the region.

After lunch, make your way to Hawkstone Brewery in the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Water for your 4:30pm guided tour. Step into the world of Britain's premium craft lager, where expert brewers will reveal the story behind Hawkstone's meteoric rise to fame. Discover the craftsmanship that goes into every batch, from selecting the finest barley to the meticulous brewing process that creates Hawkstone's distinctive character.

Your approximately two-hour tour includes generous tastings throughout, allowing you to appreciate the quality and flavour that have made Hawkstone a must-try for craft beer enthusiasts and Clarkson's Farm fans alike. Learn about the brand's journey from television screen to one of the UK's most recognisable premium lagers, and gain insider knowledge of the brewing techniques that set Hawkstone apart.

Return to the Neo-Gothic splendour of Ettington Park Hotel, where a perfectly poured pint of Hawkstone awaits you in our bar - the ideal opportunity to relive the day's discoveries. After settling into your room overlooking our acres of landscaped parkland, enjoy dinner in our 2AA Rosette Great Drawing Room Restaurant, where our chefs celebrate seasonal ingredients with the same dedication to quality you've witnessed throughout your Cotswolds adventure.

Wake the following morning to a freshly prepared breakfast served in our Great Drawing Room, before perhaps exploring our riverside walks or venturing into nearby Stratford-Upon-Avon to discover Shakespeare's heritage.
