Oxford House Cafe in Cherwell

Always great, both to eat in and takeaway. Lovely tasty fresh food. Friendly staff and always get a warm welcome. A great selection of dishes.

Went for Mother’s Day. Service slow, rude inexperienced staff. Teenagers swearing and lounging around the pub. Used to be a proper dining experience but not anymore. Average £10 for starters and £25 for mains is steep. Had to keep getting up to find staff to get a drink. White wine was warm and again £9 for 175ml is high and would have expected it to be served at the right temperature. Food was tasty but the atmosphere and staff made it way overpriced as an eating venue. So many better places to go now. Save your money and go somewhere else. It says a lot when they bring the bill and knock off drinks cost and charge no service fee without saying anything. Maybe the owner should be there to oversee their business failing and do something about it.

I attended a family wedding last Sunday Wedding hall was decorated well But the chairs around the tables was not sturdy.One of chair leg broke while a 13 year old girl was sitting with parents Staff never turn up as they were busy doing other things. Then we called them and showed them this chair broke and they replace the chair but no body from Management came to ask is everything ok I didnot recommend this place more then 100 people wedding as place is very compact Come to the main point it was Asian Pakistani wedding they really need to hire a Chef 👨‍🍳 who knows about Pakistani and Indian cuisine and spices Family obviously paid the charges but the food was horrible. Saltless and tasteless I am sorry to say. Only good side is Hall was decorated well.

Colin, the new landlord is doing a brilliant job of making the pub a good, clean, family venue. Drinks are a reasonable price and although there is no food available, there is a bbq van next to the pub and the Chinese opposite. Who knows perhaps in the future we may be able to get a bite to eat. He makes children welcome as well. Being a local. Colin is (in my opinion) the perfect person to turn a once bad news pub into a place the locals can be proud of.
