We booked a family meal, for 22 people, for our mums 70th birthday. They located us in the curtained area & it really felt like we had a room to ourselves. The food came out in a timely manner & we weren’t rushed to leave the area, even though it was a Saturday night. It was a lovely evening.

We came on a whim because they offer blue light discount and it was amazing. Great service and a huge range of drinks. They were really sensitive to my husband's dietary needs too, finding carb content for his insulin injections. Fantastic.

The food was absolutely shocking ! Peas were hard, breaded mushrooms were full of oil/fat once cut into, fried eggs had clear membrane next to yolk, ie, not cooked properly. Plus the place was cold. Our table was next to a radiator which was not on in January ! Awful experience not worth the money.

The best 'old style' proper friendly pub in Kidlington. We went with our dog and we had the "Dream Team" looking after us: Chloe, with her super efficient and cheery service, Joel, friendly and attentive - he took care of Daisy, our dog with an instant water bowl! And not forgetting Jack the chef. Jack transformed my humble sausage and mash into a beautifully presented tasty dish. Loved the crisped-up onion topping! We'll be back! Bob Cove, Pia, and Daisy!

This is a very nice pub in the heart of Kidlington. The food was very tasty, but it did take a while to come (approx. 20 mins for the starter, and approx. 30 mins for the mains). The staff did offer their apologies, and it did not ruin what was a pleasant experience. There were plenty of tables inside with the facility to order food and drink via the app if you so wish. I would most certainly visit this pub again in the future!

We went yesterday for Christmas Dinner and it was amazing! The staff were really helpful, very efficient (how on earth they managed it when the pub was so busy I really don't know!) and the food was great! We paid £57 for Christmas lunch and it was huge - to be honest, there was probably a bit too much on the plate! The turkey was succulent and the gammon was tasty too. I had never been to this pub before as it was my mum who booked it, but, I'll certainly be going again! Thank you.

Whilt on our Oxford trip we visited twice. Once for a drink and once for lunch. Both times we enjoyed ourselves and felt that we had had a good time. The prices are reasonable and the staff were friendly and helpful. We especially like seeing the open fires but sadly couldn't get close as other customers had got there before us. We would visit again if it was closer but maybe one day.

just like another user , totally blindsided by a parking fine for using the parking facilities that are literally intergrated into the grounds of the pub. there is no obvious partition. no obvious call to action regarding parking there. Generally 100% of other pubs i have attended dont have on site car parking facilities managed by a 3rd party. this is basically a scam set up by euro car parks where i am certain about 95% of attendeeds end up getting the fine. Red Lion you need to put a big sign saying car park isnt free or even a fence between this park and your pub as a matter of course of just complicit in this obvious scam

Ordered two large double chicken and cheese pizzas just now. Whilst eating, my partner discovered long hairs cooked into the cheese on the pizza. This was clearly neither mine or my partners hair as the cheese was cooked over the top of it! Gross 🤮
