A bridegroom friend of mine in Brightwalton listed Ye Olde Red Lion as one of the nearby B&Bs and I…read moredecided to book my stay there for his wedding. 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.

This is so far my favourite pub anywhere. The pub's been in the same family for about 400 years, if…read moremy memory serves me correctly. And that shows. The welcome is genuine and they have their feet on the ground. They serve beer made down the road and it's popular with real ale fans. The food is good -basic and inexpensive - Ploughman's and sarnies, for example. Good choice of well made cheeses and pate. I love the double seats in the porch. I have fond memories of taking my father here and sharing a seat here. And it's a lovely place to go for a walk along The Ridgeway before or after. And it's wonderful to see such a beautiful old Berkshire building. Lovely location and a pretty garden. Inside is lovely - nothing added, nothing taken away. This is the real thing. PS The pointer in the map showing here is far from in the right place. Check it out on the map. Aldworth is a pretty little hamlet.

Just tried calling to book a table for tomorrow (called at 14.15 as website said they close at…read more14.30), phone was answered by a very rude individual who told me they were too busy with lunchtime and to call back later. I asked if they'd be open to answer the phone later and he shouted 'the pub is open all day I'm very busy' and hung up on me! So won't be dining there then. Sorry, but first impressions really matter - if you're too busy to answer the phone (the only way to book) then DON'T or implement a different method of booking tables. Don't recommend it, they were horrible and obviously too busy to be bothered.

The pub was amazing and quirky. It was all of different levels with the restaurant being an extension out the back. The pub had the log fire going with antiques all around - even some quirky games too! The allowed dogs inside the pub and in the beer garden. The garden was lovely not massive but a good sun trap. Warning there isn't much parking either and had to park on the side of the road. Reasonable prices and great atmosphere I will surely be back

Original and interesting decor, mix of bar stools and high tables, lounge tables and comfy chairs and even a window bench, the lounge area is 'smart-casual', sharp, stylish and swanky. Nice out door area for those naughty smokers or for those wanting healthy option alfresco (ironic these types share the same space in our modern times). The bar menu has variety, is original and the food is tasty, very well presented and good value. There is a full dining menu too, in a separate dining room if wanted. Plenty of ales, lagers and wines to choose from to wash it all down. Welcoming and attentive service. This is not your traditional local, no arrows flying here, but a warm and friendly, sophisticated atmosphere. Recommended.

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.

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!!!!!
