    I had the pleasure of having dinner again at the Fox and Hounds while on a business trip to the…read moreNewbury/Donnington area. This quaint, family run restaurant has great service and excellent food. My favorite is the fillet with the peppercorn sauce and I order the mashed potatoes instead of the fries. My understanding is that the restaurant butchers their own meat and it has been outstanding every time I've visited. Cooked medium rare with a pint of beer, what could be better!? I've tried several of the appetizers and all have been very good. If you're in the area, you won't be disappointed with the Fox and Hounds.

    My wife and I have been delighted to watch as the new proprietor since March 2010 has developed…read morethis pub from its original position as just a local small pub into a much improved bar, seating, log fire and in particular its food offerings. We visited together a week or two ago and repeated the experience with our daughter and her husband, our son and our grandchild for lunch on 23rd December. The Food and service was exceptional in both quality and quantity, the starters were Artichoke Soup for some superb, and in particular the Rack of Lamb the Real Ham off the bone and the very tender Rib Eye Steak. All with the personal service of the proprietor Michael. All in all the meals were substantial and not over priced. Reasonably priced Pinot Grigiot Rose with good local ales make this the must visit pub in the Vale of the White Horse. This very improved local deserves an increase in visitors and support from locals and visitors to the village of Uffington alike, hopefully not to the extent that we will not be able to get a seat!!!!!

    We'd spent the day driving (on the wrong side of the road) and by the time we arrived at our B&B,…read morethere really wasn't much of a choice of food within walking distance. So I used Yelp to see what choices were within a short drive. I called White Horse to see if they could take us for dinner, and they suggested not waiting much longer as their kitchen closed at 9 (it was already 8.) I set the GPS and off we drove! If you've driven in rural UK, then you know that the roads are narrow and unlit. In the middle of nowhere, the GPS announced that we had arrived. So, I called again, described where we were as best as I could, and was advised to "keep going." About 5 minutes later, we arrived. We each ordered a Greek Salad. Often, the amount of cheese is pretty limited, especially on less expensive salads. Not so at the White Horse. The salads were absolutely loaded with delicious feta cheese, along with yummy cucumbers and tomatoes. Unfortunately, I can't remember the rest of the food we ordered, but it was all good. Had it been a bit warmer, we could have enjoyed our dinner in a lovely outdoor garden area.

Fresh farm salad of chard and company added complexity to the dish. The burger bun was exceptionally fresh and grilled with the burger, which was ordered rare but arrived on the medium edge, without any flavor lost. The warm farmhouse hippy vibe was playful. Staff were helpful to these confused travelers. Easy, breezy and relaxed.

It would be near impossible to end up here without planning to be. The restaurant is homely and rustic with it's decor and chalk board - it's like a pub. But you don't read my reviews for my architectural appreciation. The food. The food here is pretty great. No difficulties recommending everything at all. I've had my fair share of bresola, crayfish, gravadlax, steak, pork belly and everything I've sampled punches well above its weight. My last meal was the gravadlax starter and the pork belly mains. The gravadlax is well complimented with a mustard dressing and a fresh side salad, being a seafood monster, I was pleased with this starter. It's accompanied by rustic bread and some wonderful butter. The pork belly, however, was a bit of a show-stopper. The pork had clearly been roasted for a very long time, the fat between the skin and meat was already oozing out. It tasted delightful too. My only minor minor qualm, was that i would've personally preferred the skin harder, it was a tad chewier than I would've liked. But the meat and the fat was on point. Coming from London, I've gotten used to small portions and extortionate prices. Royal Oak flips this concept on its head, why can't you have large portions of delicious food at reasonable prices. The Royal Oak ticks all my boxes for a high end pub with great food. But it lacks any wow factor, the food is rustic and well executed, but their's no visual or sensational awe about eating here. It's never a let down though.

If I were rating this place purely on food and service it would be getting a 2.5 - 3. A few of us had starters, I went for the baked Camembert to share, that was nice but you can't really go wrong with it can you? They didn't bring out any plates for us until it was too late and we we're all pretty messy! My bf had the homemade scotch egg which he was really looking forward to but alas! It was dry and the piccalilli was also disappointing. For the mains everyone went for a roast except from one fish and chips. The fish and chips was described as a fillet of reasonably sourced cod weighing between eight to ten ounces, but I'd say it was the tail end of it, the fish being very thin and dry. You also don't expect to find a LOT bones in your fish and chips so that wasn't very pleasant for him either. It had a nice golden batter though, but I suppose that's irrelevant when the contents are disagreeable. The mushy peas were watery and vile tasting, everyone agreed. The Veggie's were pleased with their nut roasts and the rest of us had beef. I specifically asked for mine to be rare and was pretty pleased with it but the rest of the beefs were a bit tough and gristly. The vegetables came on a plate to share between three which I always hate because as some of you may have already established - I'm a pig! They were nothing to write home about, my pet hate is diced carrots and they were unseasoned, cold and shrivelled :( It would have been nice if they'd have cleaned the tables up after each course as it started to look a bit grubby and cluttered. The puds weren't fab either. The waitress's were very sweet with my little boy though and allowed him to take some orders and even see the kitchen and chef so that was a nice touch. The staff are very accommodating. There's a good amount of parking space at the back. All in all, I wouldn't make a big fuss of the food but it is such a lovely pub to come and have a drink in if you're ever in the picturesque little village of Wanborough. It's a nice place to take a stroll and give your legs a stretch.
