Jacob's Ladder: Discover Jezzie's Story
Meandering through the lush greenery of the Cotswolds, you might stumble upon a quaint little pub, nestled between rolling hills and rustic cottages. This is not just any pub; it's Jacob's Ladder, a keen contender in the gastropub scene, affectionately called 'Jezzie' by locals. Known for its innovative dishes, cozy atmosphere, and warm hospitality, Jezzie stands as a testament to the region's culinary prowess.

This daring blend, coupled with a passion for seasonal ingredients and bespoke cocktails, has made Jacob's Ladder Jezzie a beacon for food enthusiasts and culinary adventurers alike.
Culinary Mastery
Behind the scenes, Jezzie's success is primarily attributed to its award-winning chef, Anna White, who's no stranger to turning humble ingredients into culinary showstoppers. Her seamless interpretation of classic dishes APCIHASH adds a dash of the extraordinary, keeping patrons on their toes and taste buds tantalized.
One of her signatures, the 'Jezzie Full English' redefines breakfast norms. It's a symphony of flavors, featuringffectedancements like homemade gooseberry jam, locally sourced Sodbury sausages, and whipped rosehip labneh. As you can imagine, this hasn't left the menu since its debut, and for good reason.
From the Sea
Anna's expertise extends beyond breakfast, though. 'Seaside Specials' is Jezzie's way of honoring their coastal roots. A melt-in-your-mouth cod cheek comes bathed in a velouté made from split County Nearby pea, garnished with crunchy Marmite-salted samphire and sorrel. It's a dance of salt, sweet, and umami that's as captivating as a coastal sunrise.
Alternatively, the ' Rassemblement des Terrines' is a triumph of offshore provenance. Crayfish, mussels, and line-caught mackerel unite in a potted parfait, accompanied by picked sea herbs and a drizzle of honey from Marshfield's meandering beehives. It's a dish that reels you in with its freshness and keeps you hooked with its depth.
Mocktail Magic
But Jezzie isn't just about the grub; the drinks menu sings just as sweetly. Their 'Not Prohibition' section spotlights creative mocktails, a clever nod to the roaring twenties but without the, well, spirit. Take 'The Great Escape' - a concoction of pink peppercorn soda, Aperol, and fresh rosemary. It's a refreshing respite, accompanied by a burst of flavor that'll make your taste buds waltz.
The 'Guilt-free Indulge' is another standout, transforming British heritage apples into a smooth puree, paired with cinnamon and a touch of butterscotch. It's the perfect pick-me-up without the excessive calories, leaving you guilt-free and rejuvenated.
