Gardiner Arms in West Oxfordshire

What a great storey !! Pure local pub, great food , great people, and what a tasty Sunday lunch

Great pub atmosphere. Good choice of food at reasonable prices. Good choice of beers, guest Ales and Wine. Highly recommend

I don't usually do reviews. But what a nice pub. Nice pint and friendly service.

Recently refurbished local community owned pub in beautiful Tackley village. Congratulations and best wishes.

Absolutely beautiful village pub! Owners are always super welcoming and the selection of drinks is fab. We will be back!

A fab village pub with a great atmosphere. Nice food and friendly staff!

Always a warm welcome from Jackie and Martin at their cosy and characterful village pub!

Love this pub. Both the Bicester and the Oxford hash house harriers have used this lovely pub as a starting point for their runs. The runners are very particular about quality beer and the gardner arms always has the plenty on tap. We will continue to frequent this great pub and thank the owners and all the local community for always making us feel welcome and at home.

I’ve always loved this popular pub. Such a shame to find it closed on Easter Saturday

I tried to visit 9:20pm on Saturday and they were closed. Not convinced the owner wants to run this as a pub.

Great beer and a nice ambiance. No food served other than toasties as far as I could tell.

Lovely village pub, very friendly hosts and great food, mainly pizza and chips though, but if you like pizza and chips, you'll be very pleased. Wasn't busy on our visit and had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available.

Lovely traditional Cotswold pub with superb beer, friendly welcome and tasty pizzas and toasties. Recommended.

Lovely old pub with nice beer garden.Good landlord with lots of information about the village

I would like to extend my thanks to Martin and his wife for making our wake in his lovely pub so enjoyable. The home prepared food was delicious, especially the homemade chicken and asparagus quiche. I would highly recommend this pretty pub for any social function. The staff are friendly,the food superb and the organisation very good.ten out of ten

Celebrated my fortieth here this week, the team went out of their way to help and really looked after us. Great pub.

showed student id to bartender 1. bartender 2 then asks me for student id. I ask bartender 1 to verify they've seen it. they don't. have to run to my car for student id. 1 star experience. This review was written on behalf of Georgina Smith.

Really friendly pub good frowd if locals, we were treaded like locals, highly recommended for village pub atmosphere

Lovely village pub, popped in for some pizza!

Nice place to pay your respects.

We have only been in the village a few weeks but Jackie and Martin already know our names! Incredible welcome and a very professional response to service in these strange times. Great drinks at great prices! A real gem of an English pub.

Nice pub, friendly staff but was very quiet when I went, with more customers/atmosphere the score would go up.

An evening train ride out from Oxford to visit this delightful village pub. The landlord was particularly friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and I enjoyed a few pints of the well-kept house ale. Highly recommended!

This was our final port of call on our pub excursion in the routemaster bus. Lovely old pub in Tackley we were looked after very well a pleasant couple run the bar, and looked after the 45 of us that descended on them even though we were expected. Well done definitely worth a visit

Our first time at The Gardiner Arms. Great beer festival, with a superb range of beers in excellent condition. Very friendly staff, excellent food to soak up the beer while listening to music in the Sun. Perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon

We turned up late without booking hoping to eat- very warm welcome Simple, high quality food (delicious!!), good beer Friendly atmosphere in busy pub

Great little pub with friendly welcoming host and real ales! Will defo visit again next time I'm in that area.

Proud to have this pub as my local. Cosy and charming with lovely landlords and staff. Food is delicious and locally sourced! Always a great range of spirits on offer as well as the Tackley bitter and Tackley Gold!! Martin and Jackie are fabulous people and how they've transformed the pub over the past few years shows that 😊 highly recommend a visit!

Friendly staff who seemed genuinely pleased to see us. We dropped in for a snack and were served tasty homemade soups at a fair price. They were also very knowledgeable and helpful about village transport systems and amenities. Would go again for a proper meal.

The Tackley Bitter brewed by the Little Ox Brewery is a lovely drop of traditional ale.

As a group of 6 staying in Tackley for two days over New Years, we visited the Gardiner Arms on the 30th of December for food and drinks. We were greeted by Martin and Jackie, the landlords, who could not have been more welcoming. The food was delicious and local Tackley craft beer just as nice. We decided to go back the next day for New Years celebrations with live music from the Hell Cats which was fantastic. They have a wide range of drinks and Martin was helpful to recommend suggestions through the wide Gin selection. I would recommend this pub to everyone and look forward to going back for the music festival in June.

As its been two years since Martin and Jackie reopened this pub they have done a cracking job. Lovely food of which is simple but good. Pizzas, omelettes a favourite. Pizzas also available to take away. A fantastic range of drinks. A newly acquired pool table looking good in the smaller room. Weekly quiz night on Thursday and a meat draw on Friday. Log fire burning in cold nights.

Nos ha encantado! Un pub con carácter, auténtico. El dueño muy cordial y hospitalario. Con buen ambiente and the Tackley beer excelente, Thanks!🍻

Arrived here whilst visiting Blenheim horse trials for an evening meal, once we found they had a lovely selection of gins I knew we were on to a winner! Proper homecooked food with tasty pies and big cooked to order pizzas. Well worth a visit.

Great village pub. Great hosts. Highly recommended.

A lovely country pub .. Nice for a pint!!

Came across this pub by accident, a great find, and will add to my list of good pubs to visit. Its a welcoming place, the garden made for a nice place to sit. The menu looks good although we didn't eat.

Quaint country pub staff friendly and the customers are welcoming to strangers too

Lovely little pub great food this couple have bought it back to life great entertainment lovely garden it’s definitely one to look at 👍👍👍👍👍

Visited on a lovely hot bank holiday weekend. There was a private function on that night (my reason for attendance) but venue was still open to the public too. A live band entertained all night and the great sun trap of a beer garden was utilised all night. The local 'Tackley Gold' on tap was a GREAT ale. Reliably I formed the Tackley bitter is even better but wasn't available. The food served at the private party was great, no idea about the standard menu though. Overall, lovely quaint pub, friendly staff, Great beer garden.

New owners a year+ back have made this into a pub where you immediately feel at home. Writing this whilst waiting for top quality pie from local butchers and drinking a wonderful pint of Tackley Gold from the local Little Ox Brewery. Lots of knowledge from the owner. Menu is small but perfectly formed with top quality produce forming the heart of it. The lady in the kitchen is very smiley which is a good sign.

A good atmosphere with local music. A nice, friendly local.

Free house with a new landlord. Great local beer.

Great little country pub, very friendly - live music on occasions.

A friendly country pub with a fantastic selection of beers and cask ales. The new owners have certainly made a positive impact to this homely country pub, well worth a visit!

Nice A board on main road (A4260) saying Gardiners OPEN but no weekday lunchtime opening (advertised in CAMRA magazine as 11-00 to 23-00 seven days, shame as landlords original comments led one to believe it was going places but how can it with the hours it has

A cosy country pub with a homely feel. This place recently reopened and the new owners have done an excellent job. Recommended!

Only been open a week after being shut for 6 months - warm hospitality await you at the country pub which at present is only serving drinks - food will come soon

Llegamos a las Gardiners a mitad de camino en nuestro caminar por el almuerzo del domingo, sólo me dijeron que no había comida disponible, porque habían tomado sin reservas de almuerzo con antelación. Extraordinario! Luego preguntamos si podíamos haber sándwiches, pero el encargado afirmó que él no tenían pan!! Muy malo! Así que nos tomamos una copa y cacahuetes ... Te sientes como si este pub tiene un problema. Zona de jardín parece un poco deteriorados.

Yo y algunos miembros de mi familia y yo hemos visitado este pub para el almuerzo de domingo que era excelente tamaño de las porciones eran grandes y la calidad de la comida era excelente y bien vale la pena el dinero que cada uno tenía un asado cena y mi hija tenía también un pegajosa pudding toffees para el postre que ella lo disfrutamos.

atractiva desde el exterior y calentamiento desde el interior. Este dirigido Pub familiar tiene una verdadera sensación de la tierra.

Called in for a meal on a Sunday lunchtime - only roasts available, we would have preferred something a bit lighter. Anyway we settled for the roasts but were told we couldn't eat in the bar as dogs were allowed in. The problem with this...

Hicimos una visita en un domingo a mediodía. No hay otros clientes en el restaurante. Ambiente de falta. No CC máquina. La comida estaba bien carnes El pescado y patatas fritas era una pérdida de dinero ya que se sirve con blanda guisantes (no figuran...

Friendly village pub with a good menu and reasonably priced. Good value for money

Having heard the The Gardiners Arms @ Tackley re opened last Thursday 12th February we thought we would pop in...

New owners, making it a nice local. Some lovely Ales which went well with a good lunch. The Curried Parsnip Soup was hot in both senses; never had this before but would have again. The Roast beef was good; very filling with lots of roast spuds, veg, gravy and Yorkshire pud. The family had roast pork and enjoyed it. My daughter had chocolate ice cream afterwards and the wife had Apple Crumble and Custard. I tried both; very nice. The best part of it all was the people; the staff were wonderfully welcoming and helpful and the pub was full of happy locals and visitors alike; just the environment you want for a pub lunch. Will definitely come back. One point; as I write this they were without a credit card machine due to the recent change of hands but I believe this is going to be rectified soon. If you're planning a visit make sure you call and book and check the payment options status. I've popped in here many times before and it's been mixed before now with previous owners not really making a good go of it but today was excellent. A friendly pub with good food!!

The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome,the food was excellent,i had the homemade pie and mash and the wife had the beer battered cod while the kids had burger and chips.
