Monkey Puzzle in South Oxfordshire

Really nice warm individual atmosphere. Food was great and just what we needed before a long day the following. We overnight-ed in room 3 which had everything needed. I Managed to run an international meeting at 0600 so wifi was strong. Breakfast next day was really good and ready when we asked for it. Highly recommend The Fat Fox if you want to dodge the corporate bs and feel like a name not a number.

Lovely home made panini with brie, peppers and tomato chutney. Came with a little bowl of what tasted like home meade coleslaw and some salad leaves. Son had sandwich with tuna and red onion and also came with coleslaw. Really good value and very tasty. Would def return next time we are in Thame. Very pleased to have found this little gem of an eaterie!

Honestly the best Indian I've had, I had monkfish masala which was superb and tandoori king prawn starter, full of flavour, beautifully cooked. Just fab.

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.

Always made welcome, food is amazing, staff are lovely. Friends travel from north and South to eat here and then travel home. It’s a must try if you haven’t already!
