This 19th-century tavern is nothing short of charming and cozy, serving some fantastic meals. You can't go wrong with their Steak & Ale Pie and Fish & Chips.

The interior is downright medieval with low ceilings (watch your head!), low lights, and plenty of seating. They also have an open and airy beer garden for better weather days. You can either order at the bar, or use their QR code at the tables to order online which was helpful. The pub food was great, the pints kept pouring, and we made some new friends in a very old pub. Come for the history and stay for a proper pub experience. It's definitely worth the trouble of seeking this one out.

It did take us a while to figure out that, when outside, you need to go in to the bar to order. But the location right on the river is lovely! They had several vegan options; the panzanella salad was great, especially the sweet potato hummus, and the plant-based burger was good as well. Coconut milk latte was delightful! The padron peppers (which have honey) were yummy too. A great stop during our long walk through the countryside!

There are maybe half a dozen pubs to choose from in Eynsham--most are fine, one or two not so much. But the Queens Head pub stands alone. It's got the best pub food by far and the friendliest service. Even though it's definitely a favourite of the local crowd, I was made to feel more than welcome as a visiting Canadian. One of the very best food and drink experiences I had during my stay in England. Many thanks to the proprietor, Pete, for running such a fine establishment.

Yet within minutes, my friend and I were escorted and seated at a table directly underneath several artifacts, photos and letters adorning the walls behind us, that once belonged to the literary giants (such as J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and others) that once frequented this charming tavern. Once again (as was a frequent occurrence during my tour of the UK), I partook of the Shepherd's Pie and a glass of tomato juice (confession: I'm not much of a beer or ale imbiber; apologies for my ignorance to those who are true connoisseurs of the hopped and malted brews, and for the offense of ordering such an abomination in a pub...haha!). In truth, coming here was more of a pilgrimage for a life-long Tolkien aficionado, than anything having to do with drinking or eating. And yet, in raising a glass in toast to my literary heroes, in the hallowed halls where they once gathered, I felt warm sense of kinship, and thankfulness, for such an amazing opportunity.

The pubs is well lined with photos of the authors and it's a nice place to pause and wonder what these illustrious minds would have been drinking in their time.

The White Horse pub first opened as The Mermaid in 1591, changed its name a handful of times, but…read moresettled on White Horse ever since the 1830's. Thanks to its central location and tons of history, it seems like this pub has suffered at the hands of tourists like myself in recent years. The interior is smaller than other pubs I visited, but could be downright cozy if it weren't for the people coming in, looking around, and then leaving after taking a photo or two. (Maybe I just caught a tour bus day) They have 8-10 beers on tap, offer wine, and was told that the fish & chips are tip top, though we just had a few pints on our visit. Service at the bar was friendly and prompt, and we snagged one of the few tables available to sit and people watch. Overall White Horse is a fine small pub and well worth a visit if you love historic buildings/businesses. You can be the judge of the rest.

Rooms are smaller than anticipated, and we were ready for small. No complimentary waters. But the worst is the air.

The bed frames are quite hard on the shins as well. Would never recommend or stay here again.

Service was great, the menu is varied enough you can try some different things, and the wine/cocktail list is good as well. Def have a reservation for weekend nights as the place is bustling. The lamb chops are outstanding for dinner, as is the fish du jour. For breakfast you can't go wrong with the full English breakfast or the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Get a French Press of coffee, a bowl of fruit and the newspaper and take your time watching the bustle on High Street. Amazing location on High Street right across from Radcliffe Camera. Interior has old world feel to it, and there is some really interesting art work on walls, keeping the eclectic feeling of the hotel itself at heart. It's a bit expensive compared to other places near it, but gracious and solid experience. I'd go back for a nice sit down breakfast, lunch, dinner or afternoon tea even if I wasn't staying at the Old Bank.
