Eynsham Hall in Oxford

The vanilla crepe brûlée with mango was absolutely beautiful. My husband had the sticky toffee pudding which he said was amazing. The cauliflower soup was lovely and portions of all food was excellent

Can't fault Eynsham Hall and it's Brasserie Restaurant, our room was perfect and suited the character of the historic building. The food was excellent and the staff from the reception to the restaurant all made us feel welcome. A great weekend away, thank you all and we will definately be back! Mr & Mrs Viner

Excellent food and service - staff are well mannered and the choice of food was good. Is highly priced but the food is a good standard.

Interesting room featuring everything copper. Going back to one its previous owner who made their fortune out of copper, this room has green walls and loads of old copper utensils on display. Even the menus has the look of copper thread around the edges. Food was great, especially the cotswold Lamb. Breakfast was nicely served and tasted great. Good choice of wine and the house red is well worth a try and is bottled especially for Eynsham Hall.

lovely restaurant room, good food, a good selection of choices, friendly service and we also had a huge open fire.

Although the hosts arrived late the food was not that hot and lacked flavour. The 60th birthday cake looked good and so did all the food. So we were really disappointed it lacked flavour.

Fantastic character hall, great bar for pre dinner, the food was exceptional and service very good. We loved the old style atmosphere, yet despite a large wedding the service was not compromised. I understand it will close for 2 years to undertake a £75m refurb. Hope the charm isn't spoiled. Great for Oxford and Blenheim.

My partner and I stayed for a couple of nights, we ate in the brasserie the first night. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was lovely and portion sizes were very generous. Would recommend

From start to finish we where very well looked after! Food was incredible, as well as the service! We left feeling full and very content!

Amazing food/wine and waiters, we both went for the steak the 1st night, I have to say it’s one of the best meals I’ve ever had, we went for the lamb the following night, also very nice, I enjoyed the wine also, we will visit again.

Dinner was quite good. The beet and goat cheese salad was fantastic! Fish entree good, sorbets superb.

We ate in the restaurant for the two nights we stayed at Eynsham Hall as well as having breakfast there.All members of the restaurant staff were extremely attentive and helpful and tried so hard to accommodate any requests. The food was delicious with great attention to detail. Far outweighed our expectations.

The Bistro is located in the same place as the former dining room when it was a PTC. I selfishly chose to sit at a table in the same spot I had eaten at 40 years previously. The food was good and well presented, but not exceptional enough to justify the price, with what we considered to be only a limited menu. We asked the waiter if chef could prepare an alternative simple dish “off menu” (chicken or pasta!) for the following night but was told this was not possible, so we ate elsewhere in Oxford for our second night.

Very solid cooking with some gentle flavours. Portions are above average. Lamb dish mild and soft and well sauced. Fish and shellfish all well judged. Good sides. Go easy so have room for dessert. Desserts are of a high standard and definitely made in house. Sticky toffee normally one to avoid but here done to a very high standard. Creme Brulee again substantial. The room itself has very high ceilings and a degree of majesty however perhaps somehow need to up the atmosphere. Perhaps some classical music and some well place plants would do the trick. Would not hesitate to visit again.

Great food, fabulous service by a very caring staff who are professional, friendly and go out of their way to please everyone.

Oh my, what a delicious meal N and I had when we stayed at Eynsham Hall. Each course was beautifully presented and skilfully crafted. We started with the scallops which were cooked to perfection. N had the lamb, which was amazing and I had the pork which was delicious, the best I've eaten in a while.

We had dinner twice during our visit. Everything was top rate, the people, atmosphere, food quality / portion sizes and wine selection. Particularly good was the scotch egg starter and the main course local burger. Having enjoyed both, I was unable to enjoy one of the yummy deserts on offer!! Well worth a try.

La classica domenica sera in Inghilterra dove è tutto chiuso o quasi. Troviamo per caso questo posto e già dall’ingresso si capisce cosa ci si può aspettare! La cura nei dettagli è minuziosa e l’accoglienza formale ma calorosa allo stesso tempo. Ci fanno accomodare e ci portano subito i menu. Prendiamo due birre e antipasto di pane per due (amiamo provare il pane fatto in loco) e poi un burger per me e una bistecca per lui. Entrambi molto buoni e presentati bene! Nella bistecca in particolare si dà importanza alla carne perché è servita con un leggerissimo contorno di watercress e niente in più. Anelli di cipolla con il burger digeribilissimi (i primi nella mia vita!) e il servizio splendido. Complimenti per tutto! La qualità si paga ma ne vale la pena

We have a number of delicious meals here. They have an extensive menu and all the food we ate was of a high calibre in terms of taste and presentation. The wine list is also extensive and the wines we chose were very flavoursome and moderately priced (for a restaurant). we would recommend this brasserie for either lunch or dinner. The service was attentive without being intrusive.

We ate here twice while staying at Eynsham Hall. We were told when seated that the halibut dish on the menu was not available. I chose a scallops starter followed by rump steak, my wife chose ham hock terrine followed by Gloucester Old Spot. The starters were good but personally I am not keen the inclusion of chorizo in scallop dishes as its taste overpowers the scallops. The main courses were both accompanied by nicely cooked chips and huge battered onion rings. The onion rings really did not belong on the plate. We both initially thought that our meat was tough because it was difficult to cut, but it turned out that the knives in the Brasserie are not sharp. While our meal went quite well, it has to be noted that a table adjacent to ours had the wrong wine delivered and a dish was delivered with onions when it had been ordered without them. We were assured when we were seated for our second meal that everything on the menu was available but when we tried to order the camembert starter it turned out to be not available. I ordered scotch egg as a starter and my wife chose scallops without the chorizo, we both chose halibut to follow. The water that we ordered was slow to arrive and while bread was served at all other tables we received none until I complained. On the plus side, the scallops were delivered without chorizo as requested and the food was generally good although the sauce with the halibut was a little too tart. My rating for the Brasserie reflects that fact that it is an upmarket restaurant where you would expect both service and food to be absolutely perfect. The staff need to be trained to provide outstanding service and the menu would benefit from some tweaks such as replacing the onion rings with something more suitable.

The Brasserie provides a varied menu of top notch food. Delicious local Lamb and Pork, Vegeratian and Vegan options for those who follow this lifestyle. A nice wine selection to compliment the meal and staff who are very friendly and professional. If you are staying at the property or live in the area and want to treat yourself to a lovely dinner out, you won’t be disappointed.

We spent the night at the property, so we also had dinner that night. The service was just ok. The menu was somewhat limited. The food served was just ok. The night’s dining was not the highlight of our trip thru the Cotswolds.

Most enjoyable food, and generous portions (possibly a little too large for our appetite - eg. a 10 oz steak). The service, although attentive, felt like we were being rushed (one course was nearly cleared before we had finished), possibly so staff could move their attentions to a wedding function in another part of the hotel. A variation of menu during our stay would likely have enticed us to go again.

We ate here last week and waited 45 minutes for our main course to arrive, and then a further 30 minutes for the pudding. Some of the items arrived cold. Appears to be a 20% increase on the prices since we were last here. Felt overpriced, and left feeling short changed.

There were 20 of us having afternoon tea. Food was of a high quality and well presented. It was a shame that we were left standing around when we arrived and were not allowed into the room that was booked even though it was empty.

Service was excellent, the food lovely my only complaint would be the lack of vegetables or should I say as a personal preference there should of been more on the plate! otherwise a very enjoyable experience! Dessert was lush

The menu online does not look vegan friendly however they do the B12 burger and it’s lovely. Staff are great. Had a very nice meal for Mother’s Day.

Really enjoyed two meals here as a family- 2 adults and 2 children. Large potion sizes and fresh tasty food. Good wine too. The staff were lovely and gave individual attention to each table, even remembering our names at breakfast. Highly recommend eating here.

Went whilst staying at the hall. Food was lovely and came relatively quickly. After how extortionately expensive the bar is for food I was expecting to have to remortgage my house to pay for dinner but this wasn’t they case, the pricing was spot on. Would revisit the restaurant but not the hotel!

Ate for two evenings in the Brasserie and wasnt disappointed on either night. The price of the food was included in a deal for the whole hotel, plus any extras above allowance and then drinks. Otherwise I think prices are a little high, but have to say the food was of really good quality and portions were not skimpy. The Lamb was particularly good !. Overall I would recommend.

The fire place was crackling and we were looked after by Rui, thank you for a nice evening! The food was delicious and we'll definitely come back.

This was a very poor dining experience. Steak was tough, expensive and just not worth the wait for service.

Poor selection of food, very high prices. Impossible to tell when it will even be open, as it's often shut for events (such as conferences/weddings). Even the staff at reception have no idea.

The food was so good we ended up eating here every evening and really enjoyed the food, service and experience every night. A mad waiter served us and this just added to our experiece, he was amazing.

We've eaten here a few times for business and the food and service have always been ok. We unfortunately hit a bad night with a really rude male waiter. He tutted when asked for coffee, pushed us to order when we had just been seated ( and it was still early ). He raised the blinds to indicate the closure of the restraint while we were still on main course. He did not take an order for drinks and was rude when we pointed this out. We are a very easy going group, but this time this one particular waiter spoiled the whole experience. A complaint to the hotel website was met with no response. ....

A real good surprise both in terms of product quality and cooking / seasoning. Delicious Eynsham Hall dry aged beef burger. Nice dining room.

Lovely food and service! Really enjoyed my sea bass and had a lovely glass of wine. Nice relaxed atmosphere, staff were very nice and welcoming!

Convention centre style food. Quality of food was reasonable but preparation was average. Staff very attentive and friendly

Not an extensive menu but good food and good service. It’s just a shame about sone of the decor trying to make a grade II lusted building look like someone has purchased some cheap bright paint and fabrics. It doesn’t work which is a shame.

It would have been nice to know 'the soup of the day'. My lamb was undercooked even though I had asked it to be well done. Had to ask for the sauce to go with it, but otherwise nice. Smoked salmon starter was good.

We had meal here as we were staying in the hotel amazing food and very attentive service- from the lovely Keira. Thanks again

Stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights. Decided to go for restaurant despite 3 + half star reviews on trip advisor . Starter main and three drinks cost €80 but worth every penny . Bit like eating in a stately home , looks formal on entering but not so when you start to dine . Lots of interest in terms of the decor . Now to the food ........ starters a slightly bit expensive but the mains beautiful . I had the duck which was fab and my wife had the steak but plenty other options . Reason for writing the review is because of Bruno de Sousa who was our head waiter . What a passionate man , attentive and looked after us throughout . He even took time to talk to us about our interests and his home place , Portugal , recommending restaurants in Brava and elsewhere . Thank you all the staff , lovely evening , lovely food , lovely ambiance and a special shout for Bruno . Give it a go !! We enjoyed it a lot

Was overcharged. Did not complain but would not go back Food ok but more like an expensive cafe. On privacy as tables close together

The tables would be more appropriate in a cafe. The food was ok but not a great deal to choose from. Service ok.

Normally one of us orders better than the other but this time we both ordered well. Don't usually order duck but so glad I did.

I ate there each evening of my stay. The selection was excellent. The meals were delicious. The dining room was lovely, and there aren't enough superlatives for the wait staff.

We were staying at the hall so decided to book a table. Good job as it does get very busy and booking is advised. Lovely food and Bruno (and all the staff) were very attentive.

Had a lovely meal here with my partner and the service was great. Lovely surroundings and the food was good. Well done to Anton L our waiter, top marks.

Never comment on trip advisor because don’t like people moaning about minor unjust things!! such as Prices .. please people if u can’t afford it don’t eat there don’t Moan about it, But as for the food, 4 of us ate here, starters where ok.. only ok! But 2 steaks where tasteless and like a chewy jelly!! And then 1 rubber duck!! 3 of our 4 mains where inedible and sent back, complained to the staff who couldn’t care less and said it was how was supposed to be.. (((I’ve eaten many a steak and I know how should taste thanks))) you don’t need to believe me.. come see how bad it is for yourself!!

We had a meal at the brasserie during a business event and found the meals overpriced and service mediocre. 45min waiting time until our order was taken....

Dine here with family who were staying in the Hotel .As a vegetarian i was saddened to see there was only one option on the menu that was ' directed at veggis' however this consisted of butternut squash ravioli with chestnuts and capers and blue cheese .. um blue cheese is not actually vegetarian..so i asked for it not to be put on my dish and the waiter asked the kitchen if they had any cheese that was vegetarian, the answer was No. the pasta was hard and there was a trace of filling .barly half a chestnut chopped and yet a whole jar of strong salty capers which , honestly is a gross over kill .who the heck wants to eat that many capers !?

Ate here 2 nights while at Eynsham Hall. First night starter of prawn cocktail was lovely. Main of braised beef cheeks cooked to absolute perfection. Wife had steak which was also excellent. Sweet of chocolate roulade amazing. 2nd night we both had smoked salmon starter which again was so good. Both ordered cod, chips and peas for mains which was a bit disappointing. Cod seemed to be overcooked but was still OK. Dropped 1star because of the fish but still a lovely restaurant. Would recommend.

The Brasserie is a great place to go and undo all the good work you've just done in the resorts leisure club. The staff are all very young, attentive and typically of hotel bars; they serve a great pint.

We had a friends get together and the restaurant were very helpful with the flexible joining of members of our party. The food was good and the wine was reasonable. The food was a little pricey but we had a great time evening.

We stayed at the hotel and had dinner at the hotel restaurant. The fix price .menu was good and the waiter attentive and fast. The restaurant has a huge fireplace.

Our group decided to eat in the Hall rather than travel through to Witney. Lovely food, small portions and expensive prices.

We decided to eat I the hotel to celebrate my birthday in which was amazing. The food we had in our party was amazing and presented so well.

Mate I went in paid bare money’s for some food that weren’t even that nice then got ripped off again for a beer #joke

I ate here with my boyfriend when we stayed in the hotel. We only ate here once, for a treat. It is a nice small restaurant with excellent service. Delicious, high quality food. Prices were surprisingly average - not as expensive as I had feared.

Kwaliteit is prima voor een passende prijs. Er zijn wel wat gerechten met een bijzondere smaak zoals mosselen. De drank is weer te duur. Bediening lerend maar zeer vriendelijk. Koffie is goed maar cappuccino is een bak warme melk.

A menu which lacked substance but was bolstered by pretentious gobbledegook obviously written by someone who had recently been given a culinary dictionary. A chicken dish straight out of KFC, a salmon dish you needed a microscope in order to find the fish, little or no vegetables unless you wished to purchase extra dishes all served with a warm white wine and a hefty bill. Up side you were not charged for service.

Had a meal here with some friends.The food was wonderful and the service could not have been better.All the restaurant staff were very friendly and made us feel so welcome.We would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Having stayed for 2 nights in the hotel. We enjoyed the breakfast with a wide selection. As there was no other restaurant within 10 miles radius. We decide to have 1 dinner in house, but the service was slow & we waited a long time for the main courses. I guess the staff were overwhelmed ad the hotel was full & there was a huge wedding party going on at same time. Food is nice but nothing outstanding. Suggest avoid going during busy weekend or large parties.

We ate here during our stay at Eynsham hall and this restaurant was completely disappointing and way overpriced for the quality. If it hasn't been so expensive perhaps we wouldn't have been so disappointed. The restaurant itself is tastefully decelerated.

Dinned here whilst staying at the hotel. Friendly efficient staff. Good choice on the menu. A little slow when busy

Food was nice enough, I have had better meals and paid less! Overall was a nice evening but I'm not sure I would go back for the food!

The library area was exquisite. Very clean, tall ceilings, airy with large windows and window seats. Staff very friendly. Food was appetising and plentiful.

Lovely burger served with chips and side salad. Very good ambience. Not cheap but the setting helps make it worth it. Good staff, attentive and considerate.

Good food, excellent service, good staff, very pleasant surroundings. Not a lot of choice and not cheap but good quality and delicious food in an excellent hotel.

The food was too expensive and the service no more than average. There are better restaurants in the vicinity. The choices on the menu were ok, but the whole really lacked atmosphere, whereas the location deserves a better place

Went away from two nights at Eynsham Hall, hotel was lovely. Very Downton Abbey. Stayed in the main house, the staff were great, the rooms were a great size with great views of the gardens. Nice secluded area for a quiet get away. Not too far from the town where we went shopping. The food at dinner was lovely and the Gun Room Bar had a good selection of drinks, nice and quiet too. Would highly recommend staying here!

Everything about Eynsham hall was 8/10 except breakfast. Very basic, continental bits and bobs were on boards in full sun, not chilled. Jams etc in large jars self help, this is dated way to serve condiments. 2 choices of danish pastries only. Fried eggs are fried then finished under a grill creating a crust on the white. even holiday inn serves a better breakfast, shame really. I case you are wondering, I did mention how poor breakfast was on departure with compliments added for the rest of our 2 night stay.

We stayed here for one night on a Travelzoo offer. We had to change our booking due to illness and the staff were very helpful. We were welcomed and our room (in the main house) was amazing... Big and very comfortable with a luxurious bathroom. The grounds are lovely and we enjoyed exploring, they would be lovely in spring/summer. We ate in the bar and the meal was good. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was also good. We spent the afternoon in Witney, which is a lovely town and well worth visiting.

We stayed for 1 night as a present for my birthday from our friends. When we all arrived the receptionist mentioned my birthday and upgraded us both with ours having a 4 poster bed and a birthday card for me In our room. Such a lovely touch. The reception staff were lovely and in fact all the staff we met had impeccable manners and customer service. We all decided to have a meal in the restaurant and were not disappointed. We were thoroughly spoilt and can't wait to visit again. Remember to take a walk in the grounds as they are beautiful.

We stayed at the hotel on Monday night 28th March ... It was rated at 3 star wow that was a shock as it should be 5 plus... The decor was out of this world .., our room was to die for ... The grounds top order.... The staff very good., great food ... Over all Kate and I loved it and will return very soon Thank you to you all Doug & Kate

I was delivering a programme here for a few days and had not been to this venue before. The attention from the Events Manager (Dan) was excellent and everything we asked for was delivered. The Hall itself is a mock Jacobean style and has a grand feel to it. The bedrooms look as if they have had a recent makeover and I was very impressed with the result. The view from the bedroom window out over the Oxfordshire countryside was as good as you could ask for. There was some painting going on inside the Hall along with some stencil work on the walls, but this did not detract from the feel.

Perfect location and surrounding for this perfect venue. Staff very friendly and attentive. Must visit venue !!

awfull.my niece and sister went for their prize of mothers day lunch .They only had the starters and walked in disgust!!!!what a let down surely as a winner of a competition you would have pulled all the stops out disgusted for my sister she didnt deserve to be treated like that !!!!!!

I nominated my mum for your "mum in a million" competition. I was so happy when I won and my mum was really excited to being treated for lunch for Mother's Day. All I can say is I'm appalled at the way we were treated. We sat down at our table at 1.55pm, there were various members of staff walking past but nobody came to even take a drinks order from us until 2.30. We were there almost an hour before we even got our starters and asked for bread four times before we were given some. When someone finally came to clear our starter plates we were told we could go and help ourselves to main courses. There was pretty much nothing left to choose from. You emailed me the menu when I won the competition, you must have known how many bookings you had so I've no idea how you simply ran out of food. I asked to speak to the manager who wasn't particularly helpful and needless to say we left after our starters. Far from making my mum feel like "one in a million" you made her feel awful. I poured my heart and soul into my entry for your competition and people know things about me they didn't before but I didn't mind that as my mum was getting a treat that she deserved. Instead she got a nightmare and you ruined our Mother's Day.

Lovely grand building with lush gardens. We had lunch there and the food were beautifully prepared and tasty. Staffs were fantastic, friendly and helpful. Couldn't fault it at all. A good place for business functions, birthday or wedding parties, etc etc. I would recommend this place to anyone needing somewhere nice to stay or just for meetings, etc. Plenty of open space to stroll in the nice summer's evening.

Booked this for my partners 40th and as we drove up the long drive it truly was breath taking. We had a lovely walk around the grounds and it was so peaceful.We had a beautiful room in the main house overlooking the read and side gardens and pond. It was decorated beautifully and as described except for the a bed, it stated all rooms in the main house had king size ours room 27 did not however this did not spoil our stay. It was on the second floor and maybe the stairs for some may be a tad trying. Staff were very helpful if not all of them looked very happy. Breakfast was delicious the only fault there was that there was no salt n pepper on any of the tables or sauces apart from that trivial thing, I would whole heartedly recommend this hotel.

We had a lovely afternoon tea for Valentine's Day at the venue where we were married. The food was lovely the only let down was the first waiter who served us was loud, obtrusive and rude about other guests.

Whilst staying there we went a meal on Friday evening in the more casual of the two dining areas. Many of the tables were very low and unsuitable for dining so it took a while to get a reasonable space for dining. The food arrived quickly but the portions, although looking very well presented, were very small given the high cost (£14 each dish). Tasted pretty average. Would consider it value for the money.

Had one hell of a week so decided to have a stay at Eynsham Hall as I'd heard good things about it. Had a marvellous mean and my room was superb - thanks Shaun on Reception, so helpful.My room was in the Manor House and was fabulous: hipster cool decor but fabulous old school service and attention to detail. Well done! Will be back to recharge my batteries on a regular basis!

We wanted to spend a long weekend in Oxford and chose to stay at nearby Eynsham Hall because it was only £100 for the night and the main building and Gun Room bar looked amazing in the pictures. We chose to stay in the cheap and cheerful 'lodge' to the side of the building but were happy enough (for the price we paid) for the small, clean and comfortable room with really lovely en suite. The only criticism I have of the room itself was that the sound insulation wasn't great and we could hear someone's kids screaming upstairs. Bed very comfortable, room very clean, water pressure great.We checked in advance that the Gun Room bar would be serving food when we got back from Oxford but when we went to the bar at 9pm we were grumpily told that they had stopped serving. There was a wedding going on and the two behind the bar looked thoroughly overworked and fed up, but we've all worked in the service industry before at some point and it wouldn't have killed them to crack a smile! We had to complain to the lady at reception that they wouldn't be serving food as agreed in advance and she was really decent about it. She spoke to the kitchens (and I assumed checked her emails in which someone had told us food would be served at this time) and a menu and an apology was at our table within 10 minutes.Food was great, if quite expensive, but the bolshy service let it down - the kitchen staff acted like we'd been unreasonable in wanting food after they'd told us they'd closed for the evening and cleared our plates etc whilst looking at us like they absolutely hated us! I don't think I've ever complained about something like this before, but I felt we were in the right. Basically our otherwise good/average experience was a bit spoiled by this.

From the outside, Eynsham Hall is a beautiful building and I can imagine it's a lovely place to stay for the weekend. However, the restaurant was highly disappointing; the beautiful building is not done justice by the tacky canteen-style tables and the service was lackluster and rude at times. I had the minestrone soup; as this was a main course I was expecting a good hearty meal. What I got was basically a few vegetables floating in water, with a fairly hefty price tag attached. I will say the meat dishes looked a lot better than what I was served; however I was left hungry and unsatisfied and would not come back.

Lovely hotel with helpful staff. Fantastic location great place for a walk in the countryside. Will definitely use this hotel again.

My wife and I decided to have lunch at the Gun Room bar in Eynsham Hall as I've been suggesting we try it for some time; great location, fab old building with ambience etc. My wife had the tuna mayo & sweetcorn sandwich with the accompanying salad. Now although she is quite petite and a light eater, the third slice of thick wholemeal bread was rather unnecessary and just bulked it up so she ended up scraping the second layer off into the other and discarding one slice in order to actually get her mouth round it. When offered the choice of 8oz or 12oz rump steak I chose the 12oz (just because my wife said 8oz!) but for the first time ever wish I'd take the smaller steak. I asked for rare and although it took quite some eating away at the outside medium cooked I did get to the rare middle part (it did feel rare on the press test). However, although it tasted okay there was rather a lot of gristle and all the way through it was difficult to cut. I always save the middle of the steak till last so the final mouthful leaves a satisfying end to the meal but in this case I gave up trying to even cut it (that'll teach me to be greedy). Although I have no qualms with a little blood, when the plate first came, it was already swimming in blood and whilst rare is the way steak should be eaten, I'd say this was not left to sit long enough in a warm place. I don't usually like the offered sauces but sometimes have it in the side and in this case I took the peppercorn sauce but couldn't use it for two reasons, that it was quite runny and when I did pour a little out it just immediately mixed with the blood.All in all, not a great lunch but I think we'll probably try the main restaurant for dinner so I can be fair in writing a balanced review of the main menu.

Went to Eynsham Hall for afternoon tea to celebrate Mums 70th birthday.Unfortunately due to the weather we had to eat inside but there is the option to eat outside.There were 10 of us, from 2 years old to 70, we had our own room and waiter came to serve us.There were plenty of sandwiches which included salmon, ham, egg and cheese but it was the cakes that impressed us all. The chocolate éclairs (which are one of my favourites) were gorgeous, the cream tea was very close behind and then if neither of these appeal, my husband really enjoyed the bakewell pudding.The quality of food and drink was excellent.Décor in the room was ok, the table was slightly too large to reach across but we managed.The Hall has lovely gardens, with very picturesque views of surrounding countryside, there is also a bar there if required.Staff were friendly and the Hall appeared to be suitable for those with mobility needs.The Hall used to be used for training Police training prior to Hendon opening.

We go here before Christmas every year, the whole family - at the moment that is 14 plus - and have a wonderful, delicious meal. We choose our own starter and dessert and are served the main meal from platters by the friendly, efficient staff, dressed as angels and reindeer or in colourful onesies. The setting is simply beautiful - a huge, picturesque mansion in green, extensive grounds. Inside, the rooms are high-ceilinged, with long windows looking out at beautiful views.Father Christmas is so gentle and sweet with the children.There are balloons and party poppers provided for their entertainment too and the place is full - but does not feel crowded or uncomfortable in any way - with large family groups enjoying the pleasures Eynsham Hall has to offer. It might sound as if we would all be deafened, but the place is so big that the noise is a little swallowed up and there is just an atmosphere of fun and friendliness. This year we were regaled with carols from a delightful singing group, and entertained by a charming man who made balloon animals for the little ones and did incredible card magic for the adults.Highly recommended.
