    Super yum. Would definitely go again if back in oxford. Wish the weather was nicer to sit outside. Vegan options if you ask!

    It's a lovely old pub that generally caters for those looking for a meal, rather than a drink.

I called up and the guy at the end of the phone was mega friendly and with no hesitation changed our booking time. When we arrived staff where really friendly and on the ball. They supplied great convenient vegetarian options and a wide selection of traditional dishes. I had the lobster, Liz had Mushroom and filo pastry. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Waiter was friendly and quick with orders. Desert was amazing, honey mousse and honey comb. Would highly recommend this lovely retro style country pub, with great service and great food!

    What an experience. We were looking for a great meal a little off the beaten path and did we get…read moreit! Driving down windy one lane roads with high hedges, we second guessed our GPS a couple of times but finally found this gem. Thanks to some magnificent weather, we got to enjoy our meal al fresco. Rustic and serene outside with background noise of occasional livestock or birds. The pub was filling up by the time we left around 7:30 on a Saturday night, but you still had this feel of being the only one there. If you are looking to eat around then I would recommend just calling ahead to make a reservation. On to the food. Started with the salt + pepper calamari, had the polenta cakes and venison for our mains and topped it off with the lemon posset and lemon tart for dessert. All beautifully prepared, letting the fresh local ingredients speak for themselves without burying it in sauces and over-spicing. From the location, to the service and food, tremendously well done. For two we walked out with a 70 GBP bill, but it was worth it. We expected a great meal as we had eaten at the owners London Street Brasserie in Reading where we live, but this was worth the excursion for the environment alone.

    Came here for Sunday lunch yesterday after seeing that new chef, new management etc installed…read more Very disappointing, mainly for the service, or lack thereof. Took ages for us to get drinks and menus. When the food came, I had the goats cheese balls which were fine but had no seasoning at all. The other half made the same comment about the vegetable soup. Two of us had the beef and yorkshire pudding, which tasted ok but the meat was really tough. The knives we had were blunt. The broccoli was undercooked and the parsnips and carrots way over. Yorkshire puddings unremarkable. Also it came served with mash and roast potatoes, which was a bit strange. The other two had the corn fed chicken which they liked. Puddings: the ice cream came with 6 different toppings, which you served yourself; nice touch. The sticky toffee pudding was demolished. Not a word of thanks or enquiry about the food when we left. Very odd; like they didn't really care, which was certainly the impression you got in general from the service. Will not return.

    A fantastic proper country pub,with roaring log fires,rustic freshly made food & real charm…read more The bar menu has snacks like a fishfinger sandwich or boiled egg & soilders, while the main menu will blow you away with locally sourced delicious meals which change regularly. Very pretty little place too, set in a woods with nice gardens. A real find - we have been back time & again!

    A beautiful restaurant and wonderful customer service. The interior is very elegant and I would…read moreconsider using it for an event in the future if possible. Parking was not the easiest. I got the last space, but I couldn't see if overflow parking was available. The appetisers were very good and beautifully presented. The duck that my friend had looked wonderful. Our main courses were very good. The cod was lovely and the steaks were nice. My steak was a little fatty and I found the gristle very chewy on the end piece. I also like my triple cooked chips a little more crispy, but that's just my taste. The desserts were lovely and again beautifully presented. The ginger cake with chocolate mousse and the ganache plate were particularly good. The table next to us has the beef wellington and I would definitely order that if I went again. It looked phenomenal! Overall a lovely experience.

    This restaurant excels at everything it seems..what a delight!…read more - Beautiful indoor and outdoor seating - Perfect service, attentive but not too much - Small thoughtful extras - Excellent food - Very well priced Came in for lunch. Had the 3 course lunch menu for £38 (what a steal!). Lamb belly for starter was delicious, well seasoned and put together dish. Mains I tried the pork collar which was very good but the house made black pudding was phenomenal, best I have ever had..inventively spiced, wish I could buy a kilo to take home. Dessert was fig leaf panna cotta, light and flavoursome. Had a coffee with dessert which was also excellent. Its very clear that they try to do everything to the best standard possible. Wish I lived closer.
