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.

An amazing restaurant in a historic 15th century pub owned by a husband (chef) and wife team. The…read morefood was exquisite and the presentation was wonderful, nicest belly of pork I can remember eating. Typically smaller portions but very tasty and filling. The desserts were awesome and the hot chocolate fondant was ever so light, creamy and rich. A good selection of wines and all other drinks from the pub served by staff who couldn't do enough for us. Extremely busy and a good idea to book as I don't think there are many restaurants of that standard in the area. Quite a few certificates stating that they are in the Good Food Guide and Michelin Guide etc.

A really great eating pub, it has an ok sized car park (can get very full at peak times though)…read more It's nicely located on the Wantage to Didcot road so is easily reached by car. The staff are very friendly in there and greet you with a smile which is nice! Lunch is standard pub fare - baguette, sandwiches, salad, chips etc, but it's in the evening when it really comes into its own. They have a good selection of food, but always have specials as well. The quality of the food is excellent and there is certainly plenty of it. In fact there is probably too much, we sent back so much of the side dishes it was embarrassing last time. It wasn't even stuff we'd ordered, it just arrived with masses of veg, potatoes, salad and chips! All in all one well worth visiting for a cosy evening meal out.

It turned out to be a very good decision and really enhanced the trip. When I arrived Robin, the proprietor, gave me a tour of all the rooms and let me choose which one I preferred for my first night (a fluke due to available scheduling, but a nice gesture) and I chose the thatched-roof Arran, which is the coolest of all the rooms, although honestly they are all very clean and nice. Me and the other wedding guests who stayed there took all our breakfasts and some of our dinners in the pub just a few steps away and I don't think any of us had one bad meal. Everything was well-prepared and tasty. The decor and ambiance is charming and authentic English pub-like which helped us to feel like we were really on vacation. The only minor quibbles are: - the wifi is broken into two zones, so you have to log in to different routers depending if you're in your room or in the pub. - our room's shower was a bit leaky on the floor, and one morning I showered too late and all the hot water was gone. However the cold shower was pretty invigorating :) But these were really minor items. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed staying there and found Robin to be a friendly and accommodating host. Very happy with the rooms and food, all priced very reasonably for the quality of the experience.
