Punch bowl pub Woodstock in West Oxfordshire

We were lucky enough to get the last table for Sunday lunch today, the pub was super busy but the food and the service were still first class. Punchbowl Woodstock, you never disappoint!

We met friends here for lunch. It is a lovely pub. Light and airy with a lovely atmosphere and great service. The food was amazing. We had the chicken kebabs, gammon and a burger and all were great. So glad we found it, just sorry we didn’t have room for pudding!

Enjoyed a wonderful visit with the family. We all enjoyed a lovely lunch and I was particularly delighted by the range of gluten free items on the menu and the great GF beer. All the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Would highly recommend and already looking forward to our next visit when we are in the area!

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Buzzy with a lovely atmosphere. Rump steak perfectly cooked and lots of trimmings and the chocolate brownie for dessert was by far the best I’ve ever had! Good job I’m not local otherwise I’d be in here all the time! Wonderful hosts and staff. Could not recommend enough.

Excellent food, friendly efficient staff. Highly recommend this place Comments were best food out for ages and I agree!

Great night food was amazing , Really helpful tentative staff who created a really hospitable environment. Lovely rustic pub. Would definitely recommend.

Great place. We come often and always get great food and service. Lovely in winter as have real fires. If a group book the window table. If a couple enjoy the trivial pursuit cards on each table. Dogs well catered for and welcome so great after a winter walk

The Punchbowl was an ideal stay to visit Blenheim Palace. Quaint Pub in the centre of the gorgeous village. Short walk to Palace gates. Great pub food, lovely staff and super clean rooms (thank you Jenny). Comfy bed. Room over the street had traffic noise by day but very quiet at night.

Call in here on a Monday night and was quite surprised how busy it was with lots of the tables already booked. The waitress found us a table for two quite close to the bar. The food menu was typical to that of pub food with plenty of selection. I had the belly pork and my wife had a pizza. The food was ok but not fantastic but it's what you would expect being pub food. Nice touch with the trivial pursuit cards on the table. Hadn't played the game for years.

Yet another fantastic meal at The Punchbowl. I went for the Mushroom Bourgnignonne Pie on this occasion which was wonderfully warming on a wet and somewhat miserable day. Yum, yum!

Had a beautiful meal at the Punchbowl staff friendly and welcoming. Really enjoyed the meal and decided to go back the following night and again we were not disappointed.

Friendly staff, pleasant decor, good food and reasonable price. I could go on and on to 100 words what more could you want?

We visited The Punchbowl Inn on our way to Stratford-upon-Avon due to favourable reviews on TripAdvisor. Trudi enjoyed a traditional roast rump of mature beef Sunday Lunch with all the trimmings and I went for the breaded whole tail scampi. Both were excellent! For a tourist area, the prices were exceptionally reasonable, and the municipal car park was conveniently located just a few yards away meaning that there was plenty of space. Amazingly in this day and age, the car park was COMPLETELY FREE and there were no less than TWELVE EV charging points available at a very competitive price, so we came back to a fully charged car too!! WINNER! TripAdvisor did it again for us!!

Great food, great atmosphere, superb friendly staff reasonable prices. What more can you ask for? An all round great experience.

Second visit to Woodstock and with so many excellent places to eat, we'd missed out on this hotel/ inn/ pub restaurant last time. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. I had the chicken shaslik kebab and naan, delicious. Excellent wine, £9.95 for a 250ml. Won't miss out next time.

Good food and friendly staff. A wee bit noisy and the tables are fairly close together. Not for an intimate or romantic dinner.

We visited the Punch Bowl without a booking and were taken to a table immediately. We were served by Rhiannon and Kaelyn. I had a pint of Arkells Best Bitter and my wife a double Captain Morgans spiced rum and coke. We both chose the Chicken and Mushroom pie with chips and dressed salad. This was homemade and excellent. I had the homemade Toffee Apple crumble with custard and my wife the ice cream and sorbet. Both again were excellent, but the service by Rhiannon and Kaelyn was even better - a credit to the pub and more especially themselves. As and when we are in Woodstock again, we shall definitely visit the Punch Bowl.

Booked early evening for a nice meal and was not disappointed. Good choice, good value and food was amazing.
