Kings Arms Hotel & Restaurant in West Oxfordshire

Lovely friendly staff warm and welcoming. Had the roast beef which was cooked perfectly and a nice plateful. Yorkshire puddings lovely too.

I will start with the positives. We were a large group-around 14 including two young children. We were given a lovely private area. The children were very well catered for. Our server was amazing, all the more so given the appalling lack of communication from her managers (not that she was disloyal to them). Most of the dishes ordered were well prepared and tasted good. All this was marred by some fundamental failings. Quite reasonably given the size of our group we were asked to pre-order a week in advance. However, when we arrived we were informed that Crispy Squid ordered by five of the party was not available. The excuse given was that the squid had not been in the morning's delivery. Instead of trying to source supplies from elsewhere the pub chose to disappoint us. They had a week to get what they offered us and failed. I was reminded by another guest that this had happened on our previous visit in December. Clearly they haven't learned from this inconsistent supplier. My daughter had pre-ordered the Bruschetta with pea puree, pea shoots, radish and plant based feta. It did not arrive with everyone else's starters. The kitchen was informed and a few minutes later a piece of dry toasted bread covered with green peas, radish slices and feta arrived. Presumably she was meant to puree the peas and sprout some of them herself! The dish was returned and my daughter forewent a starter. A number of us ordered buttermilk deep fried chicken. The chicken and coleslaw base were lovely but the crispy batter was somewhere between well done and burnt. Finally the server had not been informed that two of our group were oeliac. Communication between the management and the servers and kitchen really needs to be improved in this establishment.

Myself and my husband and friends have regularly stayed at the Kings Arms enjoying its atmosphere, food and rooms. So much so, for my father’s birthday celebration and his brother’s visit from the US in April, I booked 4 double rooms for 2 nights and dinner for the first evening. Without rambling too much, dinner and breakfasts on both mornings were terrible experiences, long waits, cold food, missing items, poached eggs which were solely hard cooked yolks! Having waited an hour on our last morning, I had to leave without breakfast as it never even materialised. I did wonder if the chef was simply inexperienced or out to sabotage the pub and still don’t know what the issue was during our stay. Having complained to Fullers (as there was no one on site to complain to when we left), I was offered a £100 voucher, which couldn’t be put towards anything other than food/drink at a Fullers pub. Not accepting this as each of our 4 groups needed to be compensated having spent a lot of money over the 2 days (and 2 live in the States) we agreed an amount per group. I am still awaiting this compensation after 2 months of constant chasing. I don’t usually use this site to complain to/embarrass/‘diss’ places preferring to sort it out with the people or company involved, but needless to stay my love affair with the Kings Arms is sadly over.

Was a nice evening and we've thought for a while we'd like to visit here so drove to Woodstock especially - we're fairly local but this was a special journey. Entered the bar (drinks only required). Bar appeared devoid of staff apart from one who glanced at us briefly and walked off. We thought they might be back but it seems they thought otherwise. We waited for five minutes and nobody came so we walked out. For a first visit, not impressed.

Late night drink here, it was across the road from our hotel. It's a really cosy pub with a nice decor. Staff were really friendly and I had a lovely pint of London Pride, it's a Fullers pub.

Fantastic service great food our waitress Hetty was very attentive to detail the food was fantastic and quick the venue has a buzzing atmosphere

We stayed here for 2 nights with our dog. The hotel part of the building is full of character. We were on the first floor. The rooms are spacious, modern and well thought out. The only issue is location. This is a very old building dating to the 1500’s and is now on the main A road through the village. The road noise (even through double glazing) gave us a disturbed nights sleep. The beds could also do with an upgrade. Other guests have commented on the parking. We had no issue with this at all and parked adjacent to the pub with ease. This may be very different in peak season. The breakfast options were wide ranging and very good. We also ate in the bar and the food was good. For a pub stay, we had a good experience and the location is excellent in easy walking distance of everything that Woodstock has to offer, including beautiful walks around Blenheim estate.

Sadly this bastion of the Woodstock pub scene was underwhelming when we took our family there is dinner just before Christmas. The food was poor when it came out 45 mins after ordering, as was the service. Sad to say we will not be going back there anytime soon.

Its not a bad place but. The room was very hot in December. I don't know how as the radiator was off. So we opened the window and the traffic noise from the main road was unbearable and I got no sleep at all. The 2nd night we kept the window closed, but I found it too hot to sleep. The bed has a large solid wooden frame which looks nice, but was very easy to whack your legs on, so I would not advise this for elderly people. There are good quality teas and coffees in the room, but only those rubbish sachets of milk. The room was pleasant enough. The breakfast seemed to be made with no love and was one of our worst in the last few years. The rate for this hotel on a Saturday night was expensive and this is not value for money. The staff had a bit of a laisse faire attitude. Not bad, not great.

We booked in advance and arrived 45 mins early. We were asked to “park yourselves in the bar” - no problem. At booked time we were shown to a table for 2 with only 1 chair and no other spare chairs around. We were then left for 20 mins without being asked for a drink or food order. Finally - “can I get you anything? We were then advised food was a 45 wait. No thanks. When we spoke to a disinterested manager about our poor experience she said they were overrun. Won’t be going back.

What a great place! From Billy, front of house to Hettie and Evie in the restaurant, all you guys are fabulous at what you do! The rooms were amazing, from the showers to the coffee machine! Keep doing what you're doing 😍

Very old pub that looks recently decorated. Very nice atmosphere and decor. Multiple areas of restaurant seating and a good small bar. Friendly staff

A little disappointed in our room, the bed was clean and comfortable but the lighting was appalling. No light over a mirror in bathroom or bedroom. The seal on the shower didn’t fit properly so we had a puddle on the floor after each shower. Decor in the passage way was in serious need of some paint. Food was fine and location was great.

Lovely hotel that is a stones throw from the palace. Manager was excellent regarding questions and ensuring that our stay was perfect. Highly recommend Brothertons Italian just around the corner.

Did not eat in the restaurant, had a night here and room was really good. Breakfast was also good. Had a good night sleep, room was on top floor so no real noise from other rooms.

Fantastic food, generous portions, friendly and helpful staff. Would 100% recommend. Amazing red cabbage!

It was very quiet, Friday lunch time 2ish hardly anyone in the place. I ordered soup £8.50 which was a shocker! Tomato and red pepper, It was really thick and not at all nice. Served with brown bread, given to me with no butter (had to ask, then it was so cold I couldn’t spread it). No check back, you could hear the staff talking with each other, larking about (all seemed very young), Half the table was cleared, half wasn’t. I’d left my soup but no comment was made, or asked me about it (when eventually it was cleared), so I said something but nothing back, The whole experience was poor - poor food, poor service. But the place itself it beautiful, really lovely inside, Such a shame.

Stayed here for a one night stopover on our way to the south coast. We both had the full English breakfast. My wife doesn’t eat sausages or black pudding, so I got extra and what a treat. In a nutshell, every ingredient from the mushroom to the hash brown were the best produce out there, every item was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I could actually rant about how great this breakfast was and would stay again as long as the supplier and chef do not get replaced. AMAZING…

Really disappointing. Service was slow and orders wrong. Wasn’t until a new team member came on shift after we’d been there for over 1 hour, that service improved. No hand wash in ladies toilet and staff didn’t seem to be bothered when informed. Found was ok though.

had lunch today ordered cod and chips. batter was just dark brown to burnt , should have sent it back, but the person who cooked it if they had any pride in themselves would not of sent it out, the waitress should have said something to the kichen and not took it out. but nobody cared about the quality of what comes out of the kitchen. they are letting the brand down, the team down and themselves down. I should have refused to accept it, but then I would have to sit there watching my wife eat hers until a fresh one came out. the only reason the batter can be as burnt as that is when the oil has detereated so bad that it needs changing, pure laziness on the kitchen side. manager needs to take control !!! would not eat here again and would not recommend. shame because its only the kitchen letting the side down. staff are great.

Stayed here 2 nights for bed and breakfast .. lovely friendly guy and staff made us very welcome .. lovely rooms and good choice of breakfast

Good fuller's beers on tap, and great tasty fish and chips. The host of this place is a very boisterous gregarious guy, who adds to the atmosphere.

Last time we visited was a few years ago. Lovely independent pub with great food. Now owned by Fullers . out of the six meals 4 where simply not edible. Dry over cooked burgers, cold sides. Was told to hurry up and order as the kitchen was closing at 8:15 pm on a Friday night! Dreadful.

I was disappointed at the rather poor level of service and also the quality of the food given the prices charged. I would rate both as mediocre

Good food with atrocious service. Arrived and had to wait ages to get seated even though the place was virtually empty. It was early. Ended up collecting my own drinks from the bar. Apparently they were “ having a nightmare” in the bar. Food good but whole experience ruined by lacklustre staff. Such a shame as beautiful village and lively building. Please train your staff.

We popped in early and on spec, and were politely found a table straight away. The menu was interesting, and both my tofu in miso and my husband's 'secret sauce' burger were absolutely delicious. We had creme brulee and a salted caramel tart slice for...

Great friendly pub with excellent drinks selection and done very nicely inside. Barman went out of his way to get us a specific drink. Would definitely recommend

This is one of the best Sunday lunches we have had for a very long time. We were in the area and thought we'd give it a try so pleased we did. There was a choice of 4 meats plenty of choices of vegetable too....

Staff did not wear masks, breathed on food and drinks, cutlery was not sealed. Customers were walking the wrong way round the one way system and not wearing masks, staff did nothing about it

the pub was empty and not at all cosy. The room smelt strangely and the beer was dreadful. We went to eat but decided against it.

I visited this restaurant with a couple of friends.Excellent eating experience.. from walking in the door and being greeted by employee, seated and drink order taken, was maybe 5 minutes. Meal was served hot and excellent taste. Server was very friendly and helpful. Staff prise...

Went for a family lunch , we had booked , 6 of us. The food was plain pub food , and not very good. Certainly 'oversold' touting 'our talented chefs' on the menu ! Several things wrong with the dishes served. We did get a few things sorted - but really if I had put my mind to it everything could have gone back to the kitchen. The staff were lack lustre , without personality and not very attentive. All in all a reminder why many times it's better to eat at home - except of course for the washing up !

Popped in for a quick drink after day at Blenheim Palace. Lovely place, great hosts, Covid precautions all in place. Decor, furnishing and ambience really good. Interesting menu so we decided to eat here. Food and service was just outstanding. Very very minor issue resolved instantly and with good grace and humour. Three course Dinner and drinks for two around £70. Really pleased we found this place

Brilliant service and layout very relaxing loved lunch well worth it just love the atmosphere and service quick and food hot

We arrived for a meal and were well greeted. We ordered off the specials menu a steak and pasta dish along with a side of cheesy garlic bread. The meals arrived along with side dishes and the cheesy Garlic bread must have been the most expensive per square inch in Europe as it arrived being 1.5 inches wide by 3 inches long for £3.50! When questioning with the server he became very defensive and aggressive and said that the head chef has to make his GP on meals and this is how it’s done. The steak was Over cooked and the child’s pasta watery and sauce had no taste. And with the waiter now avoiding us there was no table check done and no sign of any staff Having been to other restaurants in the village this would be by far the worst and we will never return. Update - at the end of the meal the sever agreed and actually deducted from the bill with an apology but still did not make us feel comfortable being in the establishment

We went on the Thursday night the previous three nights of course being the Government “Eat out to help out scheme. As expected there were not many in the restaurant so we were expecting a quick fire order, eat up and get out as we want to go home early approach from the staff. What a surprise.The staff were attentive, smiling, interactive and professional and turned what could have been a rather flat night into quite an enjoyable one. Helped of course in no small part my some good food. The locally farmed sirloin was excellent, tender and cooked to my liking, my wife really enjoyed the battered fish with its light batter and chunky freshness. The portions were ample so we shared a trio of the locally produced buffalo milk ice cream which was both interesting and likeable.Professional restaurant staff can help turn a flat night into a rather enjoyable one and on this night they took the time and effort to do that. Of course it doesn’t work if the food doesn’t deliver but on this night for us it did.

The food here was delightful, but spoiled by cold veg. We complained, but nothing was done. Six of us, average cost spent £60.00 per couple.

We fancied a change from our hotel menu, so popped over the road to the Kings Arms, and were very pleasantly surprised by the variety of choices on offer. Excellent warm welcome from the bar staff, and good food plus attentive service from the food team.

Visited for a family lunch. The food was fine - decent pub grub and matched the price. Service was way too slow. Very nice staff bit we had to chase for everything and the food took ages. Maybe just unlucky or short staffed?! It will be a little while before we return though.

We went for Sunday lunch and opted for the beef. It was disappointing. The beef was tough and lacked flavour, the roast potatoes were under cooked and the Yorkshire Pudding was thin and shattered when cut. Also, the meals arrived colder than they should have been. We didn't say anything at the time as we were there with friends and didn't want to spoil a nice day. On a positive note the wine was good and the person serving us was pleasant. We have had some very good meals at the King's Arms in the past so were disappointed by this apparent fall in standard. It is a shame as it has been a lot better than we had on the day.

My friend was staying here; I visited as a guest and found myself not just famished, but with very little choice of place to eat...To the rescue was the Reception lady who so kindly volunteered making up a cheeseboard for the room. What a perfect selection arrived, with delicious bread and accompaniments, gratis. Thank you, service well beyond whatI expected, considering you were on your way home !

Staff and food perfect had lunch just wanted something small had the sausage sandwich with caramelised onion jam so nice xx

We have had an annual Xmas light lunch and walk for many years and usually meet and eat at the King's Arms. Very disappointed with todays meal. May be a holiday staff issue as the waitress was a bit confused, so I am sorry to complain but it was not their usual standards. We were quite happy with the staff not knowing what beers were on tap and they did their best to inform us - no problem. We ordered three "Owton's pork sausage & caramelised onion ciabatta" at £8.50 each but were a bit surprised to be asked "what sort of bread?" when ciabatta was on the menu. We suggested "brown granary" expecting crusty home made bread or similar but got unappealing brown sliced bread and essentially this was a sausage sandwich with a bit of lettuce for nearly £10! Bread was a bit stale and appeared to have been defrosted. We also ordered for £13.50 the "Tea & hop smoked haddock & leek fishcake, spinach, poached egg, Hollandaise" which was just a fishcake with a tiny bit of green with a egg on the top, well as described but it was more of a starter than a main course. We decided against sweet and order coffees an expresso, Americano and cappuccino but got two expresso's and an cappuccino instead. Add to this a long wait. Total cost £20 a head including drinks and a tip which they probably did not deserve, but it was Xmas. Probably will eat elsewhere next year which is a shame as the atmosphere there is great. I think my last review was at least 4 stars or better.

I had Fish and chips and haddock which were lovely, other meals eaten by our party were beautifully presented and cooked. We ate here on consecutive nights because the atmosphere was lovely, and so were the staff and the food was very enjoyable, with a good choice for all tastes

Stopped for a walk around and visited this pub. We had very tasty food and my husband was very impressed with the fish and chips. The pear tart tatin was just right for a frosty day. Also our dog was made very welcome as you can see from the photo!

We ate there yesterday lunchtime, before going to Blenheim Palace Christmas event. We had booked a table for 6, and the place was busy. We had various main meals from the menu including a childs meal, all of which were hot and good fresh food. We were worried about our booking given previous recent reviews on here and under the hotel/restaurant heading, and did think about cancelling, but we were glad we didn't as everything was as we could have wished for. Our waitress was friendly and efficient too, so overall we were really pleased with our experience, our food and the service.

This was a family outing ( six of us) to celebrate my wife's Mum's birthday...it was an excellent evening with delicious and tasty food with superb service. A great evening.

We had a quiet lunch at the King's Arm. The food was very good, I went for Fish and Chips as I did not know how the food was going to be and wanted to play safe. My friend has Calf Liver and mash potatoes and she loved it. The food is good. I do recommend it.

Went for dinner on a Sunday and had the leftover Sunday lunch offered. Although very plentiful not very enjoyable. Also, although just basically a pub it had the most expensive winelist in Woodstock

Met friends for lunch and after looking at the menu opted for salmon Niçoise salad. I was expecting an outstanding meal for the price. Well to say very disappointed is an understatement. What arrived was a handful of salad leaves like you buy at a supermarket. 2 black olives 2 pieces not 2 small very cold potatoes and a few flakes of smoked salmon and a cold YES cold poached egg. How on earth could they charge such an exorbitant price. No way could this be classed as a main meal about the size of a starter. Needless to say we didn’t stop for anything else. We saw other main meals served and they were just as small in fact heard one comment from another table stating they were still very hungry. Will not be returning any time soon. Extremely overpriced

Enjoyed the very good food. Service was excellent. A very good evening. Music filtered through from the bar but was not intrusive. we dined quite early but there was a pleasant buzz in the restaurant

We were at the King’s arms for dinner and had the fish and chips and sausages. The staff were friendly and accommodating of one of our allergy requests, and made it work. The food was simple pub food, but that’s exactly what we wanted and was well worth the price. Good place to grab a bite in Dorking.

Know this restaurant well as local and go occasionally. Last night I had a lightly smoked salmon salad with a bowl of chips on the side. The salad cost £13.50. Very small portion, more like a starter size, tasteless, olives with stones in (health hazard) undercooked potatoes. The chips were Luke warm and had probably been cooked a while. Very poor value for money.....I’d even go as far as saying complete rip off. Won’t be eating there again.

We met at the pub today for lunch as Woodstock is half way between our respective houses and chose the Kings Arms because of a good rating in the Good Pubs Guide.

The Kings Arms seems to get mixed reviews but we have nothing but praise. Good food, good service and a good atmosphere.

By a country mile the Kings Arms used to be the best pub in Woodstock but those days are gone. Previously privately owned KA was bought by Fullers a couple of years ago and its been on the slide ever since. Continuous rotation of managers, apathetic staff and a general grubbiness, it's now a hollow reflection of the glory days.

We dined here on a Friday night. Meal was well cooked and presented, service was attentive but not intrusive, would thoroughly recommend.

Service was poor from the start. We had reserved a table for two for a birthday meal, and when I arrived they tried to seat us on the only non-laid up table in an almost empty restaurant. When ordering, we asked a couple of questions about the size of the portions, and were told not to order the large salad as the waiter had done so once and "felt like a cow". Not sure what he was implying. We have the "avocado & pesto bruschetta, roasted tomato salsa". The meanest amount of avocado, spread thinly like Marmite. A 20p size blob of pesto and the salsa?! I think it was tomato ketchup. Next up was the main course. I had gone for the "hot smoked salmon nicoise salad" but asked for the egg to be hard boiled as I don't like runny yolks. I didn't think I was asking alot, but it came out with a barely cooked poached egg on the top. I pointed this out to the waiter who ensured me it was hard boiled and told me to cut into it to prove his point. I did, and yolk poured across my salad. I asked for the egg to be removed and so the waiter did just that, leaving yolk all over my salad (which had the potatoes been cooked for another few minutes, would have been okay. Generous quantities of salmon!). We declined the pudding menu and were left alone for around 40 mins. When we went up to the bar to ask for the bill, we were simply chucked a receipt. Not the level of service we were looking for on a special birthday meal. There are many other pubs in Woodstock, most of which I have tried. I will not be returning here.

Wir waren da zum Essen. Die junge Bedienung war sehr nett und bemüht. Das Essen war ok. Ich habe aber schon besser gegessen. Die Käseplatte war prima.

I have had a quiet dinner in the back with great food and conversation. I have also been to the pub side on 1/2 price champagne night. Love the atmosphere and the mix of people and community. Really great place to meet after a long day at the office and spend time with the team and the locals.

Three of us visited for dinner on a busy Friday night. The bar was very busy but the restaurant was more peaceful, although relatively full. The dining area is good quality and the menu/food were good. The service was maybe a little slower than would be ideal - the young servers clearly had quite a few customers to deal with. Overall though this was a decent experience.

We ate meals at breskfast and evening meal and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the relaxed surroundings

Had lunch here today with kids and dog. Food was lovely and service was excellent. Very accommodating. I’d definitely recommend

I am enjoying my stay. Staff have been friendly and informative with local knowledge. Parking however is an issue. I needed to be fairly near as I have walking issues , so you do need to drive round to find disabled parking. Blenheim is within walking distance from hotel to house 30 minutes walk. Also not far from the Cotswolds. Bourton on water like little Venice. It’s surrounded by middle England villages.

We went for a third time for breakfast .... waited 30mins for a badly cooked tasteless plate of food . We were very disappointed as the previous 2 visits were excellent. We left not even stating the good we informed the staff and left without paying Worth noting a change of staff on this occasion. A shame really we won’t be returning there .

Not sure where to start it was so bad. Looked at reviews on trip advisor and reserved as notified on trip advisor. To reserve sent a link and given options to eat ‘ drinks with food’ so given reviews asked to be seated near fire. This was Wednesday evening at 7 pm. Arrived no table reserved and asked if I had a dog !!! Given impression that they were not aware of reservation and found out they clearly knew I had reserved and just not bothered. Said would sit on nearest table. Asked for gin and tonic - ‘what gin?’ Asked for Cotswolds. Five minutes later told don’t have it - ok have you got Gordon’s? Yes . Came back five minutes later - don’t have Gordon’s will I have tanquery. Ok . Ordered food . Came back again one of the starters not available so ordered a range of breads. Kofta arrived and breads. Probably the worst food I have had in years and that is not an exaggeration. Kofta was piece of rubber meat which I couldn’t eat and breads were stale and some of it was just pieces of toast!!!!!! Photos attached .

Great bar, and I wish I had such a stylish place in my town. Restaurant was fantastic - lots of space between tables, perfect moody lighting, and very stylish. We both ordered burgers, but they were both over cooked and a bit dry,which was a bit disappointing, as cooking a burger for a chef, Should not be difficult.

I went here with friends for lunch. In the nice restaurant we had a good long lunch with good service.

In short, quite poor really; dined in the restaurant and the menu looked really good, however, the food on arrival was pretty average which would've been fine at low rent pub prices but not for what we were charged.

We called here after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor. We were rather dissapointed as food was rather average although the service was good.

My wife and I dropped in today on the way home and had a really great meal. The spinach and mushroom lasagna was outstanding (the chef came out as I was finishing my meal so I was able to thank him personally). My wife had the chicken and ham pie and she really enjoyed it.

Visited with friends and all found the food to be very good so can’t fault the chef. The service however was extremely poor. Staff have to be sought out to serve you (not that busy either), don’t even look over to see if you need anything or would like more drinks. Had to ask them to come to us to order drinks then food and again for the desert menu. Although the waiter that was working did check if everything was ok whilst we were eating our main course. We asked to pay the bill which was brought over and then no one returned to take the money so we had to ask and were told she would come over. The waitress then went off to get a plate of food that she began to eat behind the bar in front of customers and chatted to the other staff. So we had to ask again.

This restaurant has a nice vibe, the food we had was excellent, particularly the calves liver which was beautifully soft with a rich mushroom sauce to stir into smooth mashed potatoes. the fish and chips was good if not exceptional. It was nice to see some different cheeses on the cheese board which, while overpriced, was very tasty.

This place is so cosy and comfy. Roaring fire was on is well. Great choices of food...for us...late lunch. We had all lovely sandwiches. Unfortunately,the staff wasn't the fastest nor most of the time to be found. One of the staff ladies looked so bored when she was serving. Bit on the rude side,really. Luckily we had time. Not sure to go back there,because of the slow service

Went into the restaurant for coffee in the morning and was shown the menu the girl explained their might be slight changes and on that basis we booked for the evening.

This was busy on a Saturday evening and looked promising, however we felt we were very rushed through our meal - about 30 seconds after the plate of breads was cleared our main was delivered to us. It must have been cooked and stab waiting on hot plates. Not sure that was great as had upset stomach after the calves liver. Service OK, ambiance OK but all in all expensive for what we had and nothing special unfortunately.

Ce restaurant de Woodstock est confortable et sympathique. Laissez vous guider par les plats proposés sur l'ardoise du jour !

The place we were staying did not offer evening meals and being lazy we turned up to the nearest place that looked good.

Great food,great staff who know what they're doing, great atmosphere. There are many eateries to choose from in Woodstock but this is a great experience. Highly recommended.

Spontan mit vier Personen zum Abendessen in das The King's Arms Restaurant gegangen. Die Tripadvisor-Bewertungen ließen Gutes erwarten und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Frische, landestypische Küche, das Mineralwasser aus der Quelle von Blenheim Palace, eine reiche Auswahl an Weinen.

Called in for a drink only so cannot comment on food. Coffee was perfect. Nice seating area and staff friendly.

Absolutely lovely dinner here last night, high quality ingredients, beautifully presented, fabulous service, loved it & would highly recommend, we would eat here often if we lived locally.

Lovely accommodation very clean and friendly. Beautiful facilities a little road noise but we still had a lovely nights sleep. They serve a wonderful breakfast. Such a central location would definitely recommend to everyone

Called in late afternoon so ended up just having coffee. Really good coffee and pleasant staff.

Popped in for a drink in the beer garden whilst visiting nearby Blenheim palace. Friendly staff and nice cold beer and wine. Did not try the food served there.

Food worth the wait. Fresh and not too nouvelle cuisine. Good portions and excellent service. Definitely going again.

Being new to the area we are trying as many places as possible. We tried this on a Saturday evening as a full dining experience.

We stopped in Woodstock for dinner after visiting Blenheim Palace and were able to get a table for four without a reservation. The food was excellent and very well presented from a varied menu and specials board. Portion sizes were good and presented on proper plates without any pretentious slates etc. We were offered a carafe of water straight away which was very welcome on a hot day. The staff were very professional and friendly. We all enjoyed our meal and would go back again.

My husband and I enjoyed lunch here during our stay last winter. We were probably at the end of the serving time so were lucky to be seated without reservations. Beautifully decorated, light and airy room in the back was quite comfortable. Delicious food--loved the gnocchi.

We only called in early evening for dinner after seeing 'the specials board' my wife being a fish lover I am frequently eating at restaurants I choose for her likes rather than my own!

Great restaurant, really smart decor, minimalist. Enjoyed our meals, I had a crab starter and plaice main both delicious, portion sizes were good. Servers were young and very professional. Was expecting meal to be more expensive was pleasantly surprised !!. Would recommend
