Welcome to The Pheasant
Nestled in the picturesque village of Keyston, The Pheasant is a beautifully restored thatched country pub where thoughtful hospitality, seasonal cooking and exceptional wines come together in the Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire countryside.
Our menus celebrate modern British cooking, showcasing the very best seasonal ingredients with dishes that are both comforting and refined. Alongside the food, you'll find an extensive wine list curated by Broadway Cellars, carefully chosen to complement every occasion, whether you're joining us for a leisurely lunch, a special celebration or our much-loved weekly dining events.
The bar remains at the heart of The Pheasant, with cosy corners, roaring fires in the colder months, local ales on the pumps, carefully crafted cocktails and an inviting atmosphere that encourages guests to settle in and stay awhile. Beyond, our light-filled restaurant overlooks the gardens and surrounding countryside, offering a relaxed setting for everything from long lunches to evening dining.
When the weather allows, our south-facing garden is one of the area's hidden gems. Enjoy a glass of wine, a perfectly poured pint or something from our seasonal menus after exploring the surrounding countryside. Walking routes are available for those wishing to discover the local area, and well-behaved dogs are always welcome in the bar and garden.
Whether you're visiting for a drink by the fire, a family Sunday lunch, one of our popular events or a memorable evening meal, you'll find genuine hospitality, carefully prepared food and a relaxed countryside atmosphere that keeps guests returning throughout the seasons.

Fine Wines for Fabulous Food
Wine
All of the wines on our list are sourced from Broadway Cellars—our sister bar and wine shop—reflecting our shared passion for great wine. This close relationship allows us to offer a dynamic, thoughtfully curated selection, rooted in quality, character, and a genuine love of discovery.
The team at The Pheasant has carefully tasted and considered each wine to create a list that is both interesting and eclectic. Designed to complement our Seasonal British Cooking, it balances contemporary discoveries with a selection of classic favourites.
We currently offer 21 wines by the glass and nearly 100 by the bottle. Every wine has been personally selected by our team, ensuring a collection that caters to a wide range of tastes and occasions.
We are immensely proud of our knowledgeable and passionate team. Please don’t hesitate to ask for a recommendation—they will be delighted to guide you through the list, whether you’re discovering something new or returning to a favourite.
If there are any favourites you'd like to enjoy at home, all wines can be purchased through Broadway Cellars website.
