A Nice big pub with lots of space for people to mull around. They have another space at the back of…read morethe pub, which was very handy on this occasion. I came here to watch a rugby game and the pub was heaving with people, so thankfully the rear part was open. I would suggest it's best to book if you are going there to watch any major sporting event. Our table was easily found, in the back and it was ready and waiting for us. They have ample tv's on the wall so watching your sporting event shouldn't be an issue. The issue, I would say, is with the volume of people. Even though they have a large bar in the main pub and a smaller bare for the rear part it was a struggle to get served. The quality of the beer and food was good so based on that I would bust here again but if it is for a major sporting event try and book a table!!

The beer seemed to be low on carbonated gas, but it only happened once. Maybe it was bad luck. The service was very quick and friendly staff. This is indeed a little gem in Harwell!

I came to the Eyston Arms with a group of about 25 people for a special Friday pub lunch and…read morecouldn't have been more impressed. I called ahead and pre-ordered using their "light lunches" menu for everyone the day before. On the day of we showed up about 30 minutes early and were immediately welcomed and told the food would be ready right on time and that we could either take our seats or sit outside with a drink in the garden area. Sure enough, our food was ready not even a minute late, and the order was perfect. I think we waited an extra 2 or 3 minutes for a green salad, but other than that everything came out right when we expected it, and it was delicious! I recommend the lamb burger - although beware it's a little spicy, so take that into account if you don't like spicy food. Everyone in the group was pleased with their selections, although depending on the dish some dishes were definitely "light lunches" (but we expected that based on the name of the menu!). If I'm ever in Wantage again I'll definitely go back to the Eyston Arms though - great food, good ambiance, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful!

We stopped in on a busy Saturday night after they said we could not reserve a table as they were…read morefull. However we had no difficulty ordering a selection of up market bar snacks from the restaurant menu starters, of which the Ham hock potato cake with black pudding was the excellent. The sticky toffee pudding also deserves a mention. We sat in the bar but were offered a table.....as we seemed to be later diners at 20.30. The beer (Old Hooky) was well served and we liked the general atmosphere. The staff we all found to be efficient, but they all seem to have come from the same charm school in middle England, apart from the wonderful female server with a shaved head who was most striking! It is very much a gastro pub and the clients seemed by the range of upmarket Range Rovers, Audi and BMW's to be the landowners and not the surfs! If you want a more traditional pub then you may be disappointed, but it did live up to the image we expected when we drove up. Worth a particular mention were the toilets which were spotless which i think reflects the hygiene standards in the kitchen.
