Monkey Puzzle in South Oxfordshire

I had the Korai Kabab Khyberi and although it was presentable and looked as though it was going to be full of flavour, it turned out to be very bland. There was no depth to the taste like there usually is with these types of dishes and the chicken definitely hadn't been marinated long enough (or at least it tasted that way). All very nice ambience and the service was relatively good but if the food isn't tasty then everything else pales into insignificance. Maybe the chef just had an "off-night" or maybe because it's the only tandoori in Streatley meant there isn't competition to keep them on their toes - I'm hoping it's the former.

Consistently good. Freshly cooked light meals, decent coffee and friendly service. Bike parking in the garden too. A great alternative to Riverside nearby

Been a few times since it changed hands and unfortunately the food quality has dropped. The fish is consistently rubbery and overcooked. It’s never skinless when we ask for it. Last week we ordered two large cod and the size difference between the two was ridiculous, and the chips were virtually a bag of leftover crispy bits - some people might like that, but we like some actual potato in our chips. Real disappointing.

We decided on Sunday morning to try the Red Lion for lunch, and booked a table for 1330. We arrived and were met by efficient staff who were expecting us and offered us a choice of table. Drinks were ordered from a knowledgeable waiter and arrived quickly, mine being a very well-kept pint from tge local Amwell Springs brewery. We both chose beef from an extremely well thought-out menu which again arrived after only a short wait. The meat was beautifully cooked and presented on a large plate with very well cooked greens, carrots and a freshly-made Yorkshire puddings. Sides of cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes were excellent, probably the best roasties I've had, and the horseradish was similarly delicious. We both cleared our plates and the side dishes. Utterly gorgeous, go and see for yourself.

Excellent breakfast this morning, staff were very responsive to a couple of requests we made. Delicious food, very clean, lovely atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend!
