Bure Farm in Cherwell

We received excellent service from Charlotte. Extremely friendly, courteous and attentive. Thank you.

Signature burger was good. My partner ordered a rib eye steak, and it was cooked perfectly medium rare, but it was very tough and difficult to chew. She sent it back and they cooked her another one. Second time - again an absolute perfect medium rare - but nearly inedible. It was very tough and difficult to chew (sinew/connective tissue ?). She left half of it on the plate. Definitely not the melt-in-the-mouth experience promised on the menu. No fault of the chef, but likely just cheap meat. Will not be giving them another chance.

Served by a woman called Taylor. Spot on service!

Excellent service and great food as usual.

The staff were lovely and friendly but the quality of the food wasn't great. The mixed grill managed to have over and undercooked meat at the same time. The decor was nice but the place was huge and between 530 and 830 we saw about 6 other people and early November, how many of those do you think wanted the Christmas music on?

I came in with the kids last week and Sandy behind the bar who served us was so welcoming and accommodating we really enjoyed our time and will definitely be back again soon

We were looked after by Sandy and she really pushed the boat out to give us an amazing evening. She prepared the table ready for our booking and took our drink and food orders. She also checked that everything was OK when the food was delivered. We will be back.

Very busy but very good service

Great Sunday roast at a lovely local pub, brilliant service from Kirsty.

Late booking online to turn up and be shown to our table straightaway, fast efficient friendly service. Bar service despite being busy was great, apologies for the wait. Quick order (food) even though we were told they may be a wait, food was great as normal

The answer is in the picture. No food left. Roast was lovely and moist.

Great atmosphere shout out to a lady called sandy great service

Lovely experience! Leigh was very helpful and kind 😊

The food was so tasty and well-made. Kirsty, our server, was efficient, sweet and very friendly. She really made our dinner a pleasant experience.

Kirsty the waitress was brilliant

Sandy, our waitress, was lovely and very attentive. The food was good and we’d definitely come again.

Absolutely loved the experience. It was not too crowded. Which made for a realy enjoyable family evening out. The food and service were excellent. The staff was really friendly. Will definitely be going back. Plenty of parking as well .

Sorry about TJ, Sandy and the other waitress were delightful.

Very busy time, took awhile to place irder at table. Friendly staff. Thank you, Leigh. She works very hard.

Lovely staff . Fantastic food and atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit .

I had a wonderful time at The Bure Farm on Sunday afternoon with my partner and my son. We all enjoyed our time at the restaurant. 10/10 for the whole time we were there. Our server Mandy made us feel welcomed and checked in whilst we were eating our delicious food . She gave us a relaxed feel on our Sunday afternoon. Looking forward to returning for our Christmas festive meal in December.

Kirsty was very professional and friendly….. well done Kirsty

Kirsty was so friendly and great service thank you x

The food was really good and Kirsty gave us the best service we’ve ever had here

Our server Kirsty was very friendly and helpful. Very quick when we needed anything.

Kirsty was our server, she was polite, friendly and attentive

Kirsty gave amazing service, very friendly

Kirsty was very friendly and efficient. Food was lovely!

Took the mother in law here for her birthday today, we all had a mixture of meals and puddings. All of which were lovely and very well presented. Our waitress Holly was very helpful in recommending dishes for us and the rest of the staff were also lovely. Will definitely visit again.

Friendly staff and good service. First time visiting and the food was lovely. The waitress Holly was attentive and polite. The other staff were all friendly and I enjoyed my visit. Will hopefully come again when in the area.

Come today for the first time for a celebration, had the mixed grill which was lovely. Our waitress Holly was always happy and helpful. The pub is very nice, plenty of parking and a nice atmosphere. I'm not local but will come again when visiting the area.

kirsty was very helpful, great service

Brought my Mum here for her birthday, our waitress Holly brought out her pudding complete with candles which was a lovely touch, it's always easy parking and good sized portions. Rest of the staff are friendly and chatty, I enjoy coming here. Keep up the good work!

Came tonight with my husband and children. Looked rather busy, nevertheless, service nor food quality was affected. Staff were very friendly; Wasnt sure what too expected at first as this was our first time, however it definitely will not be our last. I had fish and chips for mains, ate it in a flash, so no pictures of that… However for dessert. Presentation was perfect, extremely satisfying, almost made me feel bad for eating it. Taste was also spot on, Would highly recommend.

Lovely place to eat. Good service. Leigh was great will definitely recommend to others.

First time here, had a voucher through the door, so thought we would give it a try. Came away feeling disappointed 😞. The staff were pleasant, but there simply weren't enough of them, we had to wait a very long time for everything, and my husband asked twice for a pint of Pepsi to go with his main course, it never arrived, in the end we gave up. Would we go again? Probably not👎

Very disappointed with the service or lack of service this evening. We visit the Bure Farm fairly regularly and usually have no complaints. The food was as usual, lovely. Not once were we table checked to ask how our food was. We were not asked if we wanted more drinks, we had to attract the attention of the waiting staff. Drinks ordered, we waited a good 20 minutes for them to be brought to the table, despite them sitting on a tray on the bar. We asked for our bill, which came very promptly but then no one came to take our payment. There appeared to be only 3 front of house staff in the pub/restaurant area. The restaurant and bar were what I would say very busy for a mid week and to have just 3 staff was an error. The lack of service has really let the place down, unfortunately, as the food itself was very nice.

Always a good choice for any occasion.

Excellent service received from Mandy. Food was excellent, would recommend the Sunday roast but all the food looked very appetising. The atmosphere was pleasant and the spacingof tge tables did give a degree of privacy and you could yalk without shouting. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely place with a wonderful atmosphere great staff Sandy is alway so pleasant and polite good value for money and tasty hot food.

Great spot for a family catch-up, conveniently mid-way between our locations (Berks & Leics). Spacious, comfortable, good food, excellent service - Mandy is always welcoming, efficient and flexible around menu choices - altogether ideal.

Great veterans breakfast. Thank you

We would just like to Thank Leigh and her team for the great service and atmosphere we have just experienced at The Veterans Breakfast as part of thier Remembrance month.What a love touch having the Poppy Wall of Remembrance where you can pin a Poppy with a name of those you wanted to Remember. #WeWillRememberThem

Nice food but very slow service

Great place but just lacking on a few things. Drinks were delightful and tasty. Food service was a bit slow. Suggest ordering on the app/Web as it may be quicker.

One of the best roasts I've ever had, all the trimmings and the vegetarian tart was amazing! Service was great and the pub has a really cosy atmosphere, we'll definitely be back :)

Highly recommended. Great experience- delicious food, drinks, easy parking and welcoming atmosphere. Thanks to Leigh and Martin for making it special for us. We will be back again very soon 😊

Holly was lovely! Very friendly! Always good food

Had to wait at the door for a member of staff to attend the booking in desk. Shown to our table, that had a mish mash of different seats, given our menus and asked if we would like to order drinks. A short while later a waitress asked if we were ready to order to which I replied yes and one other of our part of five asked what the soup of the day was. The waitress said she didn’t know but could find out. On her return she told us the soup was tomato then proceeded to take our orders. I asked for soup, fish bites meal to which she said unfortunately the breaded chicken and fish were not available do to having no bread crumbs or batter???. We all revised our choices with four having soup. When the soup arrived the bowls were very hot but the soup was tepid slightly spoiling the experience. After a lengthy wait our table was cleared an we waited our main course which we all enjoyed. Then another lengthy wait for our sweet course which was enjoyable despite the chocolate melt being overheated so the melting centre did no longer melt. All in all the experience was was spoilt by having too few staff for the number of bookings over the lunch time period as in the main the food was of a good standard despite the full menu it being available. Will I be booking again? I don’t think so as two visits in a month have thrown up the same problems.

We had a fabulous meal for my large family of 22, the staff were amazing and the food delicious

A night out with the girls. We were served by a lovely lady Mandy, full of smiles. Very attentive to us all evening. Which made it an enjoyable time.

I had the mixed grill it was excellent

Andy, was great. Friendly, helpful and efficient.

The first time we went it was quiet and the food was great., We returned on a Sunday, waited over an hour for our food which when it arrived was so bad it was inedible so we went home to eat. We returned on a Saturday. We were told the food wait time was 20-30mins. We waited an hour and a half with two hungry children. When I asked the staff kept saying it would just be a few minutes. The food was worse than Wetherspoons and three times the price. We will not be going back.

Leigh was very helpful, great family friendly place with lovely food!

Fantastic friendly service. Thank You Luna.

Luna as always so friendly and attentive , thank you

Care was taken to make sure that a quiet table was provided for my husbands 102 nd Birthday a nice touch was the black board with happy birthday and the sweet with a lit candle in

Sadly the ‘Dog friendly’ pub isn’t 100% dog friendly, we booked a table for a family gathering on the basis that we could take our dogs in to find the table was in a non dog area! After asking to move tables half the family were in the dog zone and the other in the none dog zone. Make sure you double and triple check if you book a table and want to bring your dog before hand. Sunday lunch was cold and bland missing items like gravy and sauces. The trio of meat was a duo and did I mention it was cold.

After past bad experience here I went tonight with around twenty of us from work and may I just say I was very impressed with the service we received from our waitress. She worked very hard and did everything to make our experience easy and relaxing. I didn’t catch her name but thank you

Just visiting the area and popped in for a bite to eat. Received excellent service from Sandy. Thank you

Staff were brilliant. Kordy especially

Great pub with very welcoming staff. Lady called Sandy served us with an amazing smile and helped with choosing the wine I wanted! Thank you 🥰

Helpful staff and pleasant atmosphere

Our party of eight had a lovely time over a long birthday lunch, with good food, good service and good ambiance. The meals had a certain freshness to them, especially the vegetables, although the beef was a little dry, but the gravy and horseradish made up for that. We eat in the dog-friendly area, which was more comfortable than most such areas.

Excellent food and friendly staff

Leigh was an absolute star! She was so lovely in her warm welcoming of us arriving, she pours an absolutely smashing pint as well. I’ll definitely be back soon!

We visited the pub today for a drink and a lovely meal, food was amazing as well as the service from Leigh who was extremely lovely!

Staff very polite food was great but a little slow coming This was down to the number of people who had taken advantage of the current offer Still a great service and staff

Very attentive service. Lovely food. Nice pub. Kirsty was a fabulous host.

We came for dinner with friends. I was accommodated very well as I was allocated space to put my foot up as I had foot surgery. We had a lovely young woman serve us by the name off Kirsty who could not do enough. It was a pleasure being served by her. Unfortunately her shift finished before we paid so hopefully she didn’t miss out on the gratuity. Thank you Kirsty!!!

Bit of an odd one; food and drinks are excellent, if on the dearer side, but the thing that stands out is the lack of staff. I've been assured the brewery are the culprits, but when you see people queuing in a straight line away from the bar, you know something's up. Having worked several bars in my youth I know this one is set up all wrong. Standard family drinks orders such as a beer, glass of wine and soft drinks, require the staff to travel up and down the bar wasting time. Have seen people leave because of the time taken to get served sometimes. Shame as the place is well looked after.

This is a great local. Food is always of good quality and the service is friendly and welcoming. Offering a bar side for food as well as the restaurant provides two very different atmospheres.

Service very slow , took 50 mins for food to arrive then didn’t receive the food we ordered , definitely won’t be visiting again

Libby was lovely But the roast could of been loads better waited an hour for it.. roast spuds were pretty shite n veg was quite hard Need to learn how to make roast potatoes !!!!

The young lady “ Libby” who served us was wonderful, 5 star service! and an asset to the establishment.

Great place for a family meal, food is good , staff are friendly

Libbys service was incredible she’s is so sweet and happy it it’s a nice atmosphere to be around

lovely place!! brilliant service from Libby making sure we were accommodated at all times

Cute little park for kids to play as well

Great service and super quick too. Our waitress Libby was so attentive, really polite and so friendly

Great Sunday roast. Food was fantastic and the staff lovely. Thank you

Excellent service, Libby was very friendly

Great place to eat with family and friends. Extensive vegetarian and vegan menu. Free parking out front.

Libby was very professional and the meal was great.

Lovely venue, pleasant and polite team. Great food perfect local pub for food and drink!

Excellent visit, food was amazing and our server Luna looked after us really well advising a great Fortyniner beer and my partner had a lovely Gin from the menu

Lovely friendly staff, great food that was obviously freshly cooked as nice and hot etc. thank you to all the staff . Xx

Libby was a great server. Helpful and cheerful!

Terrible. We arrived early for our booking, but we were told the table was ready. We sat down and waited around 10 minutes for our drinks order to be taken. We weren't handed any menus so found these ourselves. Once someone came to take our order 20 minutes later we requested all food comes together (starters etc), this was not done and the one starter ordered arrived within 15 minutes. The rest of us (8) waited for 45 minutes for food and it still hadn't come, so spoke to the waitress who quickly told us the kitchen was backed up and there was one more order before ours before quickly disappearing. Other tables had come in after us, been served food, and almost finished at this point. We waited another 15 minutes and decided to leave. My partner and I got married the day before and this was a meal for family so I am extremely disappointed and annoyed at the complete lack of service or regard for customers.

Our waitress Libby was outstanding this evening. Great service and nothing too much trouble. Well done Libby

Libby was amazing she was very bubbly and very good at customer service, for such a young lady she is excellent at her job nothing was to much trouble and made you feel very welcome, will return due to libby being so good, not had customer service as good as that for a very long time she was a amazing.

Food great for the price, and exceptionally friendly and knowledgable customer service from Libby.

They were very busy and didn’t have enough staff behind the bar! Roast dinner was ok but expensive for what it was. The steak was dry, despite ordering medium and chips under cooked. Desserts were nice, but the chocolate bomb was very small for the price.

SERVICE and the ease for ordering food is good. The food came in reasonable time. Everyone was extremely polite. A good evening was had

Great time waitress was excellent food really good

Food is overpriced for portion size and quality, it’s like paying for a Michelin star portion for microwave food. I ordered a burger - it was smaller than burger kings portion and 150% the price. The service was brilliant, Libby was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was great, family friendly. And missing that certain loud, fowl mouthed clientele

A really nice meal, service was prompt, Libby our waitress was spot on, really helpful, attentive and friendly.

We waited over an hour for most of the food. Despite ordering all meals together, one meal came out 20 mins earlier than the others. One of the dinners didn't have what it was supposed to come with but by that time, we just wanted to eat and get home as was nearly 9.30 (arriving at 7). Prices were quite expensive for what we had. Staff were nice and friendly but I don't think we'll be visiting again.

I really enjoyed a recent meal I had at Bure Farm. The menu is good and has something for everyone, including vegetarian and plant based dishes. It was very busy when we went, but there was no need to wait as we were seated straight away. The service was excellent all round as we did not feel hurried and the food was delicious too.
