Arrived but they had no record of the booking. They easily accommodated us but made it feel like it was our fault (even though they said it happens regularly and we should have called to confirm, ironic given it does not say this on the website). Waitress seemed a little snooty at first, though not sure what we did wrong. Anyway another waitress who was quite pleasant took our order. Started with some good bread served with oil and vinegar. As a starter, could not decide between charcuterie and rock oysters so ordered two oyster and duck roulette. The oysters were good with an interested dip though a little gritty but the duck was awesome. One of the finest starters I have ever had. I heaping plate of tender and flavorful duck. For a main, I had the ox cheek bourguignon. Initially had regretted offering it as there were some great option on the menu but when I had my first bite I was won over. It was fantastic. A huge piece of meat, tender, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The bourguigon sauce was incredible, rich and delicious, prompting me to eat every bite of mashed potato (I'm normally not a potato guy). For dessert, I had baked alaska. Other than my wife's comments that I had returned to the 1970s, it was a very good rendition. All the other desserts, especially the lemon tart, looked fantastic. The only issue is the lemon did arrive with a fingerprint on it, though the once snooty waitress did quickly replace it. Overall, a wonderful meal.

Our tour director pre-booked a reservation for our group of seven however the restaurant did not…read morehave a table set up for us to sit together and made us split up. This was not ideal for our group celebration. The individual who appeared to be in charge was very curt about the seating. There is a 40BPS minimum per person stated on the bottom of the menu. That's an easy amount to reach, however they also limit what you can order! Many of the lighter starters and sides sounded appealing, but the offered selection of mains was limited. We were not permitted to order any sides unless we ordered a main (which we did not want). I have never before experienced such a restriction. We decided not to stay, paid our booking fee and went up the street where we had a wonderful selection and delicious food.

We stopped by Lucy's Tearoom on our trip to Cotswold. It was rainy and cold day so some hot tea and…read morescones sounded delightful. We were sat upstairs near the window and it was nice and quiet there. Everything we ordered was delicious and we enjoyed our time here. Scone with cream and jam. I ordered plain scone. It was delicious. Warm fresh scone served with yummy cream and jam. I also ordered the chocolate cake tea with the scone and it was surprisingly good. Had some chocolate flavor and tasted good with milk. Hubby ordered Mac and cheese and it was served piping hot with a slice of garlic bread. Pretty good too! Kiddo ordered hot chocolate with marshmallows and a chocolate cake. The cake itself was soft and moist and not overly sweet. Went well with the tea and hot chocolate. The hot chocolate seemed standard and she seemed to like it. The place is not overly pricey for a touristy place. Service was also good and friendly.

The jam and cream were significantly superior to others I've had. There was also a wide selection of tea and some really funky and interesting ones as well! If I travel to the Cotswold again, I will surely be visiting Lucy's tearoom. The vibe was also cozy and welcoming. The service was a little slower but probably because we were seated on the second floor.

If you eat in the bar area you go to the bartender order your drink of choice and meal. Hint...if you only feel like a half portion of fish and chips you can order a half order and for me it's a perfect portion of food. They do have a bar menu too if you don't want fish and chips. But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that. Worth every bit for a nice meal out and I believe that the menu is a bit different.

Never have I ever left a restaurant in tears. You know when…read moreyou just *feel* the racism? It doesn't need to be blatant but is usually subtle. POC will understand 100% that feeling. We booked this last minute and as soon as we walked in, were ignored. A white couple came in after us and the blonde waitress went directly around us and took them to a table. I made direct eye contact as she was taking them, as if to say, I saw that and yes we're still here. She intentionally avoided us completely after as we were standing there waiting to be helped. The man behind the bar saw, seated us instead, and then we were ignored for another 20 minutes. I asked another blonde waitress if we could be helped and she said WE'LL GET TO YOU. She had never even acknowledged our presence or existence prior. I was already so upset we just decided to leave after that. We left with empty bellies and a trip to a local grocery store instead. There's a Yelp review from 9 days ago about this and one on TripAdvisor from this month saying the EXACT SAME THING.

Very good, traditional English meal - Crispy pork belly, creamy truffle mash, baby spinach, roasted button onion, cauliflower purée, apple sauce (£16.50) - delicious, especially the creamy truffle mash. Service was friendly although we had to catch their attention a bit more than I like. The space has a welcoming, well-decorated pub feel but well lit.

It's a nice pub and establishment. When you enter there's a bar and some cozy indoor seating with natural light. Nothing fancy. There's also a wonderful outdoor patio, which is where we sat. There's two floors to it and most of the seating is covered. The service by workers were all friendly and nice. We ordered with them then paid at the bar. We shared Duck and Orange Pate. It was thick, tasty, and complex but well balanced. I had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich--the mixed leaves were tasty, the chicken crispy, and honestly it was a filling sandwich. I would say I'd like more in between the bread but it did fill me up. You've got plenty of pub options in Burford, but we quite enjoyed our time at The Angel. It's off Witney Street and a nice place to dine!
