Food and Drink

Located just a stone's throw away from our nursery is The Old Mill on Mill Hill. This charming, pub-restaurant (Chef and Brewer) with a contemporary style, offers freshly prepared food and drinks. Great for outdoor eating and drinking in the summer.

At the opposite end of Baginton village 1Km to the south-east is The Oak Baginton which also offers freshly prepared food and drinks. Immediately over the road from The Oak Baginton is the magnificent 350 year old Baginton Oak tree, thought to be one of the oldest trees in Warwickshire.
