Was pretty busy for Sunday lunch so recommend booking in advance over the weekend. We had Sunday roasts with all the trimmings; beef, pork and lamb roasts respectively and all were delicious. Only dish that didn't work so well for us was the kids tomato meatballs which was a bit too heavy on the chilli but we shared our food around and everyone got plenty to eat that they enjoyed; kids and adults alike. Definitely recommend this as a stop for a meal or a drink if you're walking on Boars Hill. The unicorn hot chocolate is something else!!

We had noted that the pub served chinese food and at first never thought of trying it as we were just out for a pint,that was until one day when feeling a bit peckish decided to try some food there ,and from then i we were hooked as it is undoubtedly the best chinese food for miles around and yet sadly still very much undiscovered.Now it may sound like i am the landlord or one of his friends trying to cheaply promote but i can assure you i am not ,just go there and try the food and you will realize the truth

The Kings Head and Bell might just be the most interesting and welcoming pub in Abingdon…read more Considering the proud history of brewing and recent pub resurgence in Abingdon, that's saying something. I've been here a few times now. I'd say the chief attraction is the history of the place - finding a pub that is 100 years old is one thing, but 450 years? Wow! A stirring reminder of Abingdon's heritage in fact. The lighting, fire, beams and comfy chairs all makes this a very cosy place to spend an afternoon. The King's Head & Bell seems to be a freehouse, which is refreshing and the beer offerings are always solid, from top local brewers (think Loose Cannon and Hook). The Sunday roast is pretty good too. One hiccup was that it came without some of the vegetables advertised, but when we pointed this out the manager offered us complimentary drinks, a very generous remedy in the circumstances. Service is friendly, professional and quick too. In all, the Kings Head & Bell is a real gem in Abingdon's current pub scene.

I came for the first time a few back, on arrival we was shown our table; which was not yet clean -…read moreso we said to our server that we would order drinks and wait outside for them to be brought out. 20 minutes passed and we still had not received our drinks; considering this was a quiet period. Then one of our party members went in and saw the drinks had been left on the side (ice had melted in the glass) so we can only assume, they had been there a while and we had to carry them out. As it was hot we brushed this incident off and within another 10 minutes we were shown to our table. Whilst getting our carvery, we was told we could only go up once (understandably). My peer may have got the last scoop of greens and we was told there was no more - until I sat down, I saw that a whole tray had just been brought out and I was refused to be able to get some as I had sat down. With one of the kids order, it was unsatisfactory - We found a peel off sticker in her food. Which as 4 adults looking at it, we were gobsmacked. This could have been a potentially serious choking hazard as you could imagine. The final issue of this was, we felt as we was rushed to eat, and when one of the servers collected our plates we asked for the dessert menus and we would be back in. As it was hot we took the kids out the front to get a little bit of fresh air and a breeze; and within a short while we was brought our bill outside to the table. Considering we had only been at Merry Miller for 45 mins and had stated we will be back in to order desserts. As a group we understand this is one of your busiest days but to encounter this service, I find absolutely shocking. I emailed them and still have not heard anything back.

The menu is interesting, the food is good and the portions are generous. If you order side dishes you may well find that you can't finish your meal. The service is OK as well. There's free wireless access, so it can be used for business meetings, and free parking. It's a reasonable place to take visiting friends and relatives :)

I first came with my husband and sister-in-law years ago when I was expecting, enjoying the ginger beer, the ample space, and not much else. I had it on my list when visiting again, but never made it inside. Finally, this trip, I got several pints, a couple of pizzas, and a burger, too. Order at the bar (note that there are £5 burgers on Mondays! and monthly specials for the burgers and pizzas), and pick your spot. I enjoy the little huts in the back garden, past the creepy cupboard (which is handy for threatening misbehaving children), but with so much space in the main room and the lovely outdoor tables, practically every seat is a good one. The burger was quite good for the price. The portion on the sweet potato chips was quite generous, and they were lovely and crisp. I enjoyed the pizzas - L'Ala Falco with sausage, onion, fior de latte, the June special with chorizo and corn, the margherita, and the kids cheese - nice crust with just the right amount of char and chew. Looking forward to more visits and pints in the future! 2019 Reviews #24

It's run by a couple of young men and they bring a true dedication to this business. Fabulous range and quality of beers and excellent, simple food. In times when other pubs struggle and go out of business this place is thriving and deservedly so. There are a number of these types of pubs that have appeared in Oxford These places have a good clientel who enjoy the atmosphere and the banter. It's like the re-invention of the pub with all the bad old thuggish bits taken out and the wonderful traditional bits kept in. This will be the saviour of the British pub which is otherwise under siege on all sides.
