Really poor food, Arrived cold ( obviously hadn’t been microwaved for long enough ) . Food is not fresh , no attention to detail , glasses / jugs were dirty . Service was good but otherwise would not go again due to the poor food.

From the moment we stepped into Brothertons, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. My partner has an intolerance to gluten and she was presented with an array of dishes, even some that can be adapted to suit her. The service was fantastic and the meal - absolutely heavenly. Fantastic and thank you.

Stayed 2 nights in Woodstock. Sadly disappointed with the food at Brothertons.. Calamares starter was a lttle tough but nicely presented. Our mains chicken and veal courses were of inferior quality and taste and not well presented. A shame as our meal out in the other popular restaurant nearby was fabulous.

We popped in for a drink in passing having been there for lunches in the past . The staff were friendly and the choice of wines was good . Generally a nice ambience . The price for 2 (250ml ) glasses of house wine was £24 which I thought was a lot

Really nice authentic Italian restaurant. Good food and good ‘hearty’ portions. Sensible prices. Only disappointing thing was, sadly, the complimentary Limoncello at the end which was rather watery and nothing like any Limoncello I had had before either here or in Italy. Overall good though.

A party of 12 of us celebrated my mum-in-laws 80th at Brothertons and we had such a wonderful evening. The food was great and a good selection of Specials, the ambience is so lovely. Mev and his staff are really welcoming and, in particular, Andrea is so patient, kind and friendly, and couldn't have done more for the birthday girl. Thank you Andrea and Mev - we'll be back again soon!

Friendly staff but over priced and mediocre ingredients. Caprese salad came with no dressing and what looked to be basic supermarket prepackaged tomatoes that looked days old. Bread disappointing also.

“Price is what you pay, value is what you get” Lasagne with a price point looked attractive but the end product was very disappointing - lacked substance, too much liquid and if I’d been asked to identify it as lasagne I would have failed. Also the waiter kept hovering around us waiting to clear dishes and indeed asked my companion whether he had finished when clearly he hadn’t. Coffee cups were not allowed to linger - my cappuccino should have been piping hot - it wasn’t. I come to this restaurant 4x pa, will now to look elsewhere within Woodstock. A shame

The service and food were spot-on. We ordered from the daily specials and we were not disappointed. The tiramisu for dessert was light and flavorful and quite possibly the best I've ever tasted.

We didn't book ahead but were still warmly welcomed and shown to the last remaining table, a window table for four. The food recommendations were spot on and our request for a slight modification for one dish was happily accommodated. I ordered the Pan-fried Sea Bass which was tender and full of flavour. The Penne Arrabiata had just the right level of heat, the Veal Saltimboca was cooked to perfection, and the Canneloni was piping hot and meaty. The desserts we chose were beautifully presented and a delicious finale to our meal; a light Tiramisu, a slice of Limoncello Cheesecake and an Amaretto Gato, each just indulgent enough but not overwhelmingly rich. Every member of staff was very friendly and attentive and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Booking recommended, even on a Monday!

I stumbled upon Brothertons after a tour of Blenheim Palace on my way back to a friends house. Choosing to sit outside in the courtyard area, the service was great from the two young staff. The food was very fresh and enjoyable and the wine fresh and crisp also. A great choice in Woodstock if you’re looking for something other than English pub fare.

We arrived after making a reservation and we were asked to wait. The table they sat us at was dirty so not a great start. This restaurant was not as good as we expected. We ordered calamari to share and a couple of pizzas. I would say these were just average and nothing special. The cheesecake also was more like cream and overly sweet. Also if you do go here avoid the toilets they were absolutely awful and need a damm good clean.

We were a table of 8. After an hour our starters came, they were fine. We waited ages for drinks and when the mains finally arrived they were overwhelmingly disappointing. The steaks were like leather and one was returned as a regurgitated mess of gristle. (I explained I wouldn’t be paying for it and it was removed from the bill) The lasagne was dry with barely any filling. One guest commented to the table ‘I’d be ashamed to serve a spaghetti bolognaise this bad at home’ Veg was a mush of water. The parma ham on the pizza was so thick it was like chewing on dried jerky chunks, he was having to take it off and cut it up with a knife and fork before reassembling the pizza. Pasta appeared to be the cheapest value range with very amateur sauces. Staff were young and cocky, they had no idea which steak was which, although it made no difference because the were equally terrible and overcooked. Cutlery for 8 was literally thrown in one large bundle on the table with a loud crash by the young man. The young lady gave me the same attitude my teenagers have given me at home, I gave her the same one I give at home too! We decided not to gamble deserts and instead went to Co-op to buy tiramisu and profiteroles which we took home and had with a cup of tea. We paid the nearly £400 bill at which point a young lady mentioned to my daughter that she thought we all intended to leave a tip! She replied with ‘I'm afraid noone was happy enough with their meals to do that’ We are usually very good tippers. During the meal I used the lavatory to find a previous occupant had clearly been unwell. I decided it was a really unpleasant site for other guests and so as discreetly as possible I approached a lady behind the bar, she scowled at me and dismissed me with a hand-wave and told me to go and tell my waiter. I didn’t do this as I didn’t like to think of my waiter scrubbing the toilet during service. However much to our dismay, as we were chewing on our terrible food two members of staff individually approached our table announcing loud and proud that they had cleaned the toilet and gave their apologies for the mess. The whole experience has left us confident in knowledge that we will not return.

Wife wife and I spent the last weekend in Woodstock. Of three restaurants we tried out BB's was bar far the best in terms of choice and quality of food, service and value for money. We both had specials for our mains, pork medallions for my wife and sea bass for myself, both were cooked just right. Good choice of Italian wines. All in all a very enjoyable dining experience. Will definitely return when we next visit Woodstock

Staying locally for a few nights, we were looking for something a little special and we came across Brothertons Brasserie. We hadn’t booked but it was early and our table for two was easily accommodated by the very friendly and helpful waitress. Our table was upstairs and we were immediately brought the menus. The hardest part was deciding what to have, but we decided on the Veal Milanese with spaghetti and the Veal Saltimbocca. Both were absolutely sublime, could not fault them, so tasty and perfectly cooked. Dessert was equally as delicious, we had tiramisu and Amaretto cake😋 amazing! The staff were all friendly and helpful. I just wish we lived nearer so we could return! Highly recommended!!

Deeply disappointing. Had lunch there in the summer and were delighted so booked for dinner. Slow. Maybe best to stick to pizza and pasta. Saltimbocca floating in the juice of a ratatouille isn’t a good look. Calamari Fritti accompanied by a dressed salad, pub style, with red onions similarly. Their plates are too small so everything looked just piled on. 0 out of 10 for presentation. Better consideration should be given to what goes with what and veg not of the diners’ choice should be served on a separate dish. Both of us have lived in Italy and have learnt to have minimal expectations of provincial Italian restaurants. Sadly, not even these we’re met. Lots of people appear to like the restaurant. Unfortunately we are not amongst them. Another one not to be tried again.

Really disappointing meal for my mums 70th birthday. Some members of the family had travelled an hour to get to the venue to help celebrate and the whole experience felt rushed with one main member of the team, an Italian man, rolling his eyes and getting short with us when we hadn't decided on whether we wanted deserts or not. We ordered mains as soon as arrived as no time to look at menu before 3 times the man had come and asked what we wanted, the mains turned up within 5 mins and th fish linguine was cold and my husbands spaghetti was soft, both meals looked and tasted microwaved. We had no time to enjoy relaxing after the mains were whisked away as soon as the cutlery hit the plate and then the water requested desserts straight after. We were in and out in less than an hour. As soon as desserts came , the bill was presented without us asking. All in all, awful microwaved, rushed food that was expensive for what it was and impatient service.

After reading the many positive reviews we decided to eat here whilst staying in Woodstock during our 25th wedding anniversary weekend and we were genuinely looking forward to sampling some authentic Italian cuisine,however the reality was hugely disappointing and on this occasion reading the negative reviews would of given a true reflection of our experience we were about to have. It’s fair to say that the evening started really well , we were greeted with a very warm welcome and seated at a lovely table for two in the corner all very romantic, trouble is that is were the positives end. The starters arrived and were average at best with my prawns having lumps of uncooked/raw garlic in the sauce and my wife’s sardines completely under seasoned and lacking any taste. Despite this as we were both quite hungry so finished our starters hoping it was just a glitch and the mains would make amends. How wrong were we!!!! Both the swordfish my wife ordered along with the specialty chicken in white wine and sage sauce I had were appallingly cooked with no care given to how both plates of food looked or tasted. My wife’s mains had In excess of fifteen olives thrown on top of the fish along with a tinned tomato ratatouille tepid roast potatoes that had been re-warmed and probably cooked the day before and crunchy stemmed broccoli. My chicken breast looked and tasted like it had been boiled as opposed to seared in a hot pan and was covered in a gluppy sauce that resembled wall paper paste it was obvious these relatively basic dishes were beyond the chefs capabilities. At this point we just wanted to get the bill and leave the restaurant realising we had made a huge mistake and in hindsight should have booked a table at the pub around the corner serving small plate tapas. After telling the waiter/manager how disappointed we were in the food we made a quick getaway (it’s also worth noting our bill was reduced to reflect this,so they did at least have enough good grace to acknowledge this). To sum up if you are looking to eat an authentic Italian meal I would avoid this place like the plague.

Overall the restaurant looked lovely and had a great vibe. I booked on line and popped my head in on the day to check my reservation was there. I was very surprised at the reception I got not what I would expect no smile or welcome. I put this to one side and looked forward to our evening. We were greeted warmly and showed to our table. Our server was a senior man and it felt as we did not order a starter we were treated poorly the wine was just dumped on table! Not opened or even confirmed what we’d ordered. There was no upsetting of olives or bread or anything to make us feel welcome. It seemed to be an effort to serve us tbh. The food was plentiful and served very quickly. 5 of 6 dishes were good but seafood pasta poor, no sauce really. We didn’t say anything as by then we felt prickly and just wanted to enjoy the evening. We weren’t offered coffee or anything after almost like they wanted our table. Overall good value tasty food, nice ambiance spoilt by service. Shame

Repeat visit & nothing like last time. We sat outside & the setting was lovely on a warm summer evening. That's the positive. We had booked for 7.30 but didn't get any attention for over 20 minutes. The waitress took our order for wine but said someone else would take the food order. Again, a long wait for the wine,at least 25 minutes, which was very warm when it finally arrived. We were left to open it ourselves & the waitress left to get us some ice & Iced water. Never did get water delivered & I had to fetch ice myself from the bar! A while later, the same waitress came back & took our food order even though she had said before that she couldn't, and of course, it took ages for starters to arrive. The Bruschetta were not bruschetta. We were served slightly toasted cheap sliced white bread with chopped tomatoes & olives with an overpowering amount of dried oregano. They should be ashamed to call it Italian food We ate some as we were very hungry by this point but left half. The waitress didn't look surprised! Oh well ,we thought, at least we have the pizza to look forward to..... it arrived quite quickly & looked good. However, after a couple of slices, we had to give in. We both left over half. So much salt - just awful. No comment again from the waitress as she took away the full plates. We asked for the bill immediately. 3 hrs of my life & over £80 I won't get back. We had booked in advance for another night but quickly cancelled. The waitress was very nice & doing her best but clearly a lot of training needed here. If you want to see well trained staff with good pub food- go to the Punchbowl.

Arrived for a 7.30pm booking, for which the staff seemed unaware. Waited half hour before we were offered a drink on a very hot evening, even a glass of water would have been appreciated! No apology for the long delay in service. The jug of water was brought with no glasses which we had to ask for 3 times. Food was of a reasonable standard and came in an acceptable time frame. No salt and pepper on the table, which wouldn't have been a problem if the vegetables had been seasoned. So we took the salt from an empty table, only to have it taken to give to another table. Every table should have appropriate condiments before service starts, any good chef should accept that not everyone likes their potatoes and broccoli unsalted and therefore tasteless. No option to add a tip to the bill on the card machine, and this day and age most people do not carry cash so unfortunately the staff lose out. All in all, a poorly run restaurant with no visible management, especially as there was sufficient staff to cope with a full restaurant, however the staff need adequate training and good leadership.

Honestly, terrible service. It felt like we weren’t wanted there’s at all. I have never usually complained about a restaurant, and myself and partner are usually very easily satisfied. However, the treatment at our dinner felt close to classist. Every other patron, as far as...

Called in by chance and looking at the menu and specials we were looking forward to a lovely meal. We had the shared seafood starter. The presentation was dreadful, soggy lettuce and lots of oil. Some of the mussels tasted off and we didn't finish...

Great atmosphere, attentive and polite staff but the food was very disappointing. Starter was leek and potato soup. Consistency was like water and not a lot of taste ( apart from pepper!!). Had a chicken dish for main course. The brandy cream sauce was tasteless!!...

I despair. I thought restaurants in the UK have moved on but patently not in many cases. The food we had was very bland. I would call it Brititalia ie the sort of thing served up 30 years ago. I had the veal cooked in...

Booked a table for my mother in law for her 60th Birthday. My husband contacted the restaurant to arrange to pay for their meal. The person he spoke to was so rude and abrupt we cancelled the booking and booked elsewhere.

Fabulous food and friendly service. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were made to feel like valued customers. There is a great range of food on the menu, all at reasonable prices, cooked to order and truly delicious. Thank you.

I had a fantastic experience at Costa Coffee thanks to the excellent service from Marija! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. My coffee was delicious, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Marija's warm attitude really stood out, making my visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this location for great coffee and outstanding customer service!

Three phone conversations with the hotel management eventually confirmed that a Sunday roast could be obtained in the Terrace resturant. A table for 7 was booked and confirmed.On arrival the Terrace resturant was set up for a wedding ceremony. No other dining tables were apparent. On querying this with bar staff we were abruptly told "not our problem".Eventually found a deputy manager who set about laying up a dining table amongst the wedding guests ! Meanwhile we tried other local venues but couldn't get in within our timescale.We eventually sat for our anticipated Sunday lunch in a crowded golf club bar surrounded by a multitude of wedding guests.The food was obviously recently pulled out of the freezer, looked and tasted same ! HOPELESS !!We recommend training for front of house management in the art of coordination and courtesy for members of the bar staff.

I am genuinely so upset by our experience at the Tite Inn today. More so that I had recommended it to our friends we were visiting with - one of which was celebrating her birthday - so it was very embarrassing for me too that we had such a horrible experience. We came a couple of years ago so maybe it’s under new management now? But the website and the reviews still looked good so a month ago I booked again for Sunday lunch today. My photos attached to this review show the website THIS MORNING and there was absolutely no mention of what we experienced when we arrived. On arrival, a chap, who I shortly found out was the manager, greeted us and pointed us (not showed us) to our table. There was no mention of menus, or what the process was to order food. We sat there and eventually I went and asked at the bar for menus and was told ‘it’s beef, turkey or pork’ and that was that. I asked about starters or even a menu or anything and he just said ‘that’s all we have, it’s Sunday’ so then I was really confused and asked about starters to be told really shirtily ‘there’s no room in the kitchen for starters on a Sunday’ (weirdest thing I think I’ve ever heard in a pub) and I was desperately trying to understand WHY and HOW their website stated the menu for a Sunday, with starters, mains, sides and desserts and there was nothing from the time I booked to the moment we started questioning what on earth was going on at the pub to finding this out. I then asked for the manager to discover this very rude and quite arsey chap was indeed the manager and I was keeping my voice down as there were a lot of people behind me drinking and eating but I was trying to ascertain what was going on! When I questioned the menu and the website, I was told some mental story I couldn’t make head nor tail about with reasons why the website gave essentially completely false information. Some excuse about not being able to get in touch with whoever runs the website. Then I challenged him by saying my booking had been with them for about a month with my email address and phone number to inform me of the massive change to the menu, or lack of, and was told something along the lines of ‘I can’t possibly keep track of emails/bookings for everyone!’ Really truly shocking. We had no idea what exactly came with the roast dinner (again, no menu or even a chalk board telling us anything) and when I asked, as there were no starters, were there any desserts was told essentially no to that too! ‘We can possibly get something for you’ was the response to dessert. The general attitude was appalling and the only reason we didn’t walk out was because I didn’t want to make a scene to our friends who were with us and as we aren’t locals we didn’t know where else we could go without a booking on a Sunday. There was a couple of cursory murmurings of ‘sorry’ from the manager but no offer of anything whatsoever to make it right - free round of drinks or a tiny bit off the bill perhaps? I honestly ran out of energy with the manager when I was talking to him as he was essentially arguing with me telling me the website being completely false and there being only a one course option of three meats with no more information or even price, no starter or dessert option and how disappointed I was didn’t seem to care and made me feel like I was somehow in the wrong. Really upset me and I went back to the table to my friends feeling really sad. We ordered our roast dinners, I asked for an extra bowl of veg for our dog which I would of course had paid for (last time we came they made a huge fuss of her and obliged in the extra veg) was no where to be seen. The table behind overheard and gave us their spare veg for the dog so we told the staff not to bother…they’d forgot anyway. On paying the bill, the manager seemed to be lurking in the doorway behind the bar perhaps expecting me to complain again and ask for discount and it seemed when he saw we were paying (the full and frankly overpriced bill of around £28 per head for a standard turkey or beef roast dinner - plain peas and not very appetising cauliflower cheese) he vanished without another word. Not to be seen again. I am truly shocked and disappointed by all this. We ended up asking the bar man where the nearest supermarket was for our dessert as I didn’t want another confrontation with the manager about how difficult it was to get any other course besides a bog standard roast dinner. The young waiter and the bar man were both polite and did a table check to ask if the food was ok, it was adequate (definitely not worth the price) however even if we had complained that the cauliflower cheese wasn’t particularly nice, would we have got anywhere?! Shame as you were such a lovely pub and we had fond memories from last time, you might even be able to see my previous review and see how much of a completely opposite experience we had! But no menu, one course, no real apology or any suggestion of what they could do to make it right, despite me saying we had been guided by essentially false advertising on the website really was an awful experience. I felt so sorry for my friends who had taken my glowing reviews! Whatever has happened since last time, I hope you improve. We won’t be back to find out. Your manager needs some serious training…I used to work in hospitality and never ever have I ever hear such a string of bizarre excuses to problems with no hint to compensate or even apologise properly to the clearly very upset customers!

My main memory that i will take way from this visit to this particular Nero is the great staff who were very friendly efficient and knowledgable; plus I was served promptly given the busy nature of the shop at the time of my visit. Nero's coffee is by far the best on the British High Street.
