Their Fish Platter is perfect shared starter, and their fish and chips is probably one of the best I have had. The list of puddings is also quite fine. I had a strawberry sundae with ice cream, toffee sauce and honeycomb. Absolutely delectable! If you go in on any Monday you will also get 50% on any main dish. This was a nice surprise.

We had noted that the pub served chinese food and at first never thought of trying it as we were just out for a pint,that was until one day when feeling a bit peckish decided to try some food there ,and from then i we were hooked as it is undoubtedly the best chinese food for miles around and yet sadly still very much undiscovered.Now it may sound like i am the landlord or one of his friends trying to cheaply promote but i can assure you i am not ,just go there and try the food and you will realize the truth

The Kings Head and Bell might just be the most interesting and welcoming pub in Abingdon…read more Considering the proud history of brewing and recent pub resurgence in Abingdon, that's saying something. I've been here a few times now. I'd say the chief attraction is the history of the place - finding a pub that is 100 years old is one thing, but 450 years? Wow! A stirring reminder of Abingdon's heritage in fact. The lighting, fire, beams and comfy chairs all makes this a very cosy place to spend an afternoon. The King's Head & Bell seems to be a freehouse, which is refreshing and the beer offerings are always solid, from top local brewers (think Loose Cannon and Hook). The Sunday roast is pretty good too. One hiccup was that it came without some of the vegetables advertised, but when we pointed this out the manager offered us complimentary drinks, a very generous remedy in the circumstances. Service is friendly, professional and quick too. In all, the Kings Head & Bell is a real gem in Abingdon's current pub scene.

My beef and mushroom pie was to die for. One of our party said that the fries might just be the best she ever had. Her ribs were good and tender. Fish and chips were hot and not greasy. After walking we did not want a large meal so all had the light portion This allowed us to have deserts. Each desert matched the quality of the meal. I had the cherry cheesecake. Wonderful. And it came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Thanks to the B&B host who recommended this resteraunt. I would also highly recommend it too

I haven't eaten there yet but saw someone with their tapas type food last week and it looked very good - quite a lot of diners in the smart dining area so assume it is good food.

Ugh, that sums it up…read more Kitchen has been closed for 8 months. Why? Zero explanation. 1/2 the taps don't have beer attached. Someone didn't pay their supplier.

Never coming back, and hope you don't waste your time and money either.

A very pleasant riverside pub in a picturesque part of Abingdon, my four star review is largely…read moredriven by one simple fact: they served an excellent yet hard to find pint of Morlands Original, the flagship beer of former Abingdon-based brewery Morlands before its sad takeover by lacklustre pub chain Greene King. So ingrained in Abingdon's history is Morlands that plenty of old pubs in and around Abingdon (including Sutton Courtney) still have Morlands murals on the walls by their doors, a sad reminder of Abingdon's past brewing glory. This is particularly the case with the Old Anchor Inn, so I was glad to find its beer choice had been just as faithful. The friendly, quick service and pleasing wooden-panelled interior thus came as unexpected bonuses.

I was here with a few friends and while seemingly friendly enough, we still felt a bit out of place as everyone seemed to be intheir own episode of Cheers or something but that added to the charm.

Everything about our visit was excellent - efficient and attentive service with great food and atmosphere. Another trip planned from California next year and we will definitely return.

Staff is consistently extremely welcoming and accommodating to myself and my family, which makes coming to The Chequers a must-do. This past trip in was especially memorable as the manager dealt with my questions about the rib eye sauce as well as graciously parting with a Cotswold Brewery pint glass. So, wether you're visiting from somewhere in England or from across the pond like myself, take the time to go eat and drink at The Chequers, you will not be disappointed.
