We absolutely loved The Stags Head! The greek dishes on the menu attracted me at first and the food was first class. I had juicy chicken souvlaki and baklava - I could have eaten it twice. Others had the steak and ale pie with great pastry and filled to the brim. Great ales too. The landlord makes this place, a real character that you could talk with for hours. If I was picky, the rooms are really tiny and the shower room tired but it was all clean and looked loved. Had a smashing nights sleep on a comfy bed in a really peaceful location. Don't get excited about breakfast as there is no traditional fry up but I loved the fresh fruit, muesli, greek yoghurt and honey. Excellent value for money

Friendly staff, cosy space and delicious meals. Best moussaka I've had with a tasty greek salad. Ham, egg and chips were good too

Met up with family who live abroad for dinner and chat first. They were staying here and we were all impressed with the hospitality of Stamatis and family. We appreciated the food especially the authentic Greek dishes and I only wished my appetite was as great as when younger. Excellent!

Room was tiny & cramped & not fresh but seemed dusty. Had to mostly keep windows shut as drinkers would smoke just outside the room. Seemed like furnishings were still from 1960 but not maintained. Also our room door would not lock. Had breakfast there but very ordinary. Overall place grubby. Thus did not eat dinner there. Owners rather unsmiling and unwelcoming.

Arrived 13.55 to be coldly greeted with a door closing and being told “we’re closing”. When I pointed out that the notice on the door said they were open until 14.30, the woman asked “do you want food?” and added “because we stop serving food at 14.00 and as it’s almost that now we won’t do any”. Without waiting for a response she then shut the door on us. The warm Greek welcome we received last time we were here is long gone. Avoid!

What a fantastic find. Lovely warm welcome from Stamitas. Lots of reminiscing being as we love Greece, plus coincidentally, he had worked near my home and my partners over the years. Our room was compact and clean with everything you need. Fresh milk and orange juice in a fridge, very welcome. Pub was shut Sunday night, but it was not a problem. Faith and Stamitas offered us a meal, but we went into Banbury. Breakfast, bot full English, but plenty of cereals, yoghurt, fruit and toast. Lovely stay. The visitors book tells it all

Just stopped off here by chance on the way back from nearby lovely Broughton Castle. It's a lovely, friendly pub with the most delicious and authentic Greek food we've had for years. The owner is lovely too! The garden area overlooking the fields out the back has some beautiful views. The only slight negative was that we were overcharged (as we found out later), but to be honest the service was so good we didn't mind leaving it as a tip instead. I also wish they had more local cask ales on tap. Tribute is fine, but it's from Cornwall! As we were leaving, we spotted a cute little hedgehog wandering around. Swalcliffe the village itself is very pretty overall. We would highly recommend this as a great pub to have an evening meal. Even better is that it's easy to get to from the M40 near Banbury.

Well where do I start, went into the establishment to be greeted with a question are you local? No smile no hello or can i help you?. Asked what beers they had but was glared back with no response. Then I asked can I have a look at the menu but was told instantly the kitchen has closed. I explained we had just eaten but maybe for another time as we quite often drive past. Bearing in mind it was only around 8:19pm. Then he said there's a garden out the back. It was said in a manner that came across as if we were not welcome in the bar area. Then as we was leaving I took the menu and empty glasses back into the bar area out of courtesy, there was food still being served which was disappointing to say the least. As a fellow Greek myself I was joyed to hear the Greek music and have always associated this with warm and welcoming experiences. Unfortunately not on this occasion.

We stayed at The Stag’s Head for several days over the school holidays; visiting family. A lovely little place. Parking can be a little tight at times but generally available on the street. Our hosts were very helpful and the continental breakfast more than sufficient to start the day (toast, coffee/tea, cereal and an assortment of fresh fruit). Rooms were clean and quite warm and fresh towels available. Wifi worked well and room also had tea/coffee (& daily shortbread). We did not have a chance to try the menu in the pub but the selection was broad and we were told the quality was very good. We can readily recommend and expect we will use this location on our next trip to the area.

Accommodation was booked in order to break our journey between Yorkshire and Dorset. Our stay happened to coincide with the local villages’ beacon lighting (for the Queen’s jubilee) so we joined the gathering on a nearby hill after a lovely dinner. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming; we had a great night. The pub also had a range of guest beers which was a bonus. The room (first stay) was very small but entirely adequate and clean. Continental style breakfast. We were so pleased, we booked in for our return trip. That says it all.

Was taken here for a couple of nights for my birthday and another couple of friends came along too. The pub is rather quiet at this time of year but that was how we wanted it to be. This is a small but very nice village. One one those places you explore from but return to the comfort of. A classic English pub with a Greek family twist. Has two good double rooms for a building of its age that are well kept and ideal to return to after a night by the fire in the bar. You could time your visit as we did and pay just £25 per person for the 7 course Greek night menu. It says 7 courses but seems like many more a huge banquet that keeps on giving. Paid around £150 for 2 people for 2 nights and breakfast. Then paid just £150 for 2 for all our meals and drinks, and believe me we did not hold back. We will certainly be booking again. We probably won’t get our Greek holiday this year but the Stags Head brought a wonderful Greek family hospitality to us. These 2 rooms should be full all year round. Of course I would highly recommend it.

Tap water in carafe, coffee and sugar in jars, big shower gel, etc. Well done guys!Unfortunately I didn't get to have an evening meal as the restaurant was shut the night I stayed. Shame, because it looks so good from other reviews!The staff - so friendly and welcoming.Breakfast - great!

We looked this place up and called in at opening time to check the closing time for food and drinks as we were planning to walk with kids from a neighbouring village. We were told 2pm for food and 2.30 for the bar. Sadly when we arrived at 2.15 we were made to feel very unwelcome. The lady in charge made it very clear our custom wasn't wanted as there was a 'bridge group in'. We had one drink and left. Shame to receive such an unfriendly reception because the setting is lovely and the beer was good.

So glad we did, the owners Faith and Stamatis were so friendly and welcoming. We were celebrating our anniversary and they kindly left a card in our room when we arrived. The food is amazing, I opted for the Greek specials...feta and spinach filo parcels then chicken souvlaki-divine!The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a short stay.

We stayed at this thatched pub for 2 nights in August. We had the first room along the path, which I understand is slightly bigger than the one as you go through into the garden. The room was beautifully decorated. It had a little fridge in it containing some orange juice and milk. There’s tea/ coffee making facilities and a little tv and wardrobe. The bathroom is small, but it did us just fine. There’s some toiletries too, in case you forget anything. The shower is much bigger than it originally looked, once you get in. In the mornings, we could see the horses trotting past our window. There is a restaurant bit to the pub and a bar bit, but all open plan. It’s small and cute. It has a space for a few cars to park, but other than that, you park on the road (make sure you have a good handbrake!). The people at this pub are lovely. So friendly and welcoming. The breakfast is continental Greek style with fresh fruits, yogurt and toast, but we asked for a Full English, which they did us at a couple of quid more. I’d happily stay at this place again. Clean, well looked after.

On the way back from a delightful morning to the Cotswold Gin Distillery, we decided to stop off for lunch. Driving through Swalcliffe, we came across the Stags Head, and even though it was a wet day the pub looked so inviting. We were not disappointed, a warm welcome, great internal decor and a range of food to appease most. What interested us was the Greek dishes and on speaking with the owner who hails from Corfu (some 30 yrs ago), we both decided to have the Chicken Souvlaki, absolutely delicious, and reasonably priced. If your traveling in the area I would recommend this pub to you.

Attending a Funeral in Banbury, we needed a B & B nearby fairly quickly and found this establishment on one of the Hotel Sights which appeared to fit the bill and as we needed to sort something out fairly quickly plumped for The Stags Head.Didn’t get off to a great start as we arrived in a Thunderstorm and Hailstorm and unfortunately, found it closed due to it being mid afternoon and fairly quiet. We explained that we were involved with a family funeral and as the room wasn’t quite ready ( which we found a little disappointing)we explained that we would go and attend to things and come back later. We arrived back about 7.30pm not knowing what to expect but we needn’t have worried as we walked into a very homely establishment and were shown to a very cosy room separate from the bar area which improved my mood considerably. We enquired as to the possibility of food which we were told wasn’t a problem. So the jist of my comments are that we had a very enjoyable evening with nice food and a few drinks! The owners are very friendly and we found out a lot about Greek food as the owner is from Corfu and there was Greek food on the menu ( but not too much) and we felt really at home as some of the locals joined in the conversation. We had a very good nights sleep in a comfortable room, as it’s in a small quiet village with very little traffic and enjoyed a lovely Continental Breakfast and another chat with the owner. Had a walk around the village which was enjoyable and then onto more serious things.So, all in all, a very pleasant stay in an establishment that we would definitely go back to again.

I was expecting great things after reading all the reviews, but found what I got was actually a bit of a let down. Firstly the room that we were allocated was tiny, just room for twin beds and a wardrobe, no room to put any luggage, other than on the beds. The en-suite was the smallest that I have ever seen, so tiny that I struggled to pull up my jeans without hitting the walls with my elbows!!! The bath mat and towels were so crispy they were unpleasant to use, and other peoples left over toiletries were stored in the bathroom cupboard and shower - would have been so much nicer if the 'complimentary toiletries' mentioned on the booking site had not been used by someone else first!!There is no phone/internet or radio signal here whatsoever, not the owners fault, but not mentioned on the booking site either - had I not paid in advance, I would certainly have left and looked for somewhere else to stay.The pub next door to the rooms is pleasant enough, although the tables were sticky and could have done with a good soapy clean. The main food on offer is Greek and there is quite a good choice, but we had to wait ages for our food to arrive after we had ordered. The food, when it arrived, was piled high, but was nothing special, especially for the prices charged.After very little sleep in a claustraphobic room I hoped breakfast would fare better, but sadly it did not. Just cannisters of cereal, a huge tub of yoghurt and toast that came out as white as it went in!!There are several nice touches, the biscuits in the room, the mini fridge with fresh milk, tea and coffee (although no decaff) and mini cartons of orange juice. The owners are very friendly and informative, and the place is in a very pretty setting (albeit that it is covered in scaffolding for the next month).A lot of people love this place, but for me sadly, the bad out weighed the good.

Tenían una gran fiesta en la noche que estuvimos allí, que estaban sentados en la otra zona, comimos en el bar, que era muy tranquila una vez que el grupo se había instalado en la zona de comedor. La comida era comida de pub general y buena calidad. Había menos opciones de griego esperaba, tienen una noche especial griega al final del mes, pero no quedé decepcionado con mi kebab. Mi amigo tenía de cadera que me dijeron era excelente. El servicio fue muy bueno, a pesar de la cocina rápida el partido y muy amable. Par de cervezas bien conocido en la bomba de mano que es genial. Sin duda volveremos y pruebe la noche griega.

El pub se encuentra en la verde en un bonito pueblo con un jardín muy bien plantado y tiene vistas a un pequeño valle y a los jardines de al lado de casas de pueblo. Las dos habitaciones estaban abiertas y eran pequeñas pero muy bien decoradas y amuebladas. El propietario es griega y ofrece clásicos británicos y griegos. Cada último sábado del mes hace un bufé griego. Planeamos probar la próxima vez. Tanto el propietario y la gente es muy amable y acogedor.

A veces es un poco preocupante cuando viaja solo a lugares desconocidos, sin embargo, que no podía haber sido más cómoda en este encantador establecimiento. La habitación preciosa, con detalles adicionales - una excelente comida y un ambiente estupendo en el pub. La familia que dirige el Stags Head es super amable. No me alojaría en ningún otro sitio si estoy en esa parte del país. ! !

He querido probar este establecimiento durante algún tiempo pero nunca había regresado. No esta noche me y puedo decir que felizmente me volveré.Gente amable y cálido, que nos dio la sensación de pub que acogedora.Vi que tiene una especialidad de griego y así que empezamos con el pan, aceitunas y queso feta. Nunca he tenido tan buena feta de queso y las aceitunas eran grandes y deliciosos, comida genuina griega y su mejor y a un precio razonable.Acabo de perder la noche griega la puso en pero asegúrate de estar allí la próxima vez!Platos principales estaban bien, aunque tienes que pedir la ensalada con guisantes y sobresaliente, lo que me parece es más y más común, con un montón de sitios, sin embargo, una buena comida es una gran comida con algunas verduras verdes.Gracias por una velada encantadora.

No obstante la gente un poco antipático y bastante estereotipado se destacó en el bar que se miraban como extraños cuando nos enteted, fue un almuerzo muy agradable.El personal era amable y la comida del domingo almuerzo estaba deliciosa. Entre nosotros teníamos la carne asada, pierna de cordero y pollo. souvlakiLos pudines era estupendo, pero estábamos demasiado lleno de ellos muestra.No es un lugar muy grande y popular con los lugareños, así que si puedes reservar podría ser una buena idea.

El amigo y yo viajamos a Inglaterra y Gales juntos elegimos el Stag's Head para pasar nuestra primera noche porque nos sentimos atraídos por la edad y techo de paja. El pub es pequeño, con sólo 2 habitaciones, y es para dejar de propiedad y gestión familiar. Nos alojamos en la habitación llamada el Swallow's Nest que tenía se ha configurado como individuales, como habíamos pedido. La habitación era agradable, limpia, bien equipada y acogedora. Habiendo llegado directamente desde Heathrow, apreciamos la salida temprano, así como el té, café, galletas, leche fresca y zumo que estaba esperando en la habitación. WIFI disponible en el pub, y pasamos gran parte de la tarde junto a la chimenea. Los propietarios eran muy amables, dándonos información sobre la zona y a la tarde en el club de bridge y a concurso noche en la noche. Las sopas caseras y tartas que tuvimos en el almuerzo y la cena eran excelentes, así como el desayuno la mañana siguiente. No podría haber empezado mejor para una increíble vacaciones de dos semanas. Recomendamos recomendación tanto este alojamiento y el restaurante! ! ! !

Este pub es un bonito pueblo oxfordshire aproximadamente 6 millas de Banbury. El dueño era muy acogedor y nos llevó a nuestra mesa. Él es de Grecia y es un negocio familiar, y que todos eran personas muy agradables. Estábamos allí para el cumpleaños de nuestra hija. Teníamos 2 compartir platos de pescado y Meze y luego el plato principal fue todo bien preparado y delicioso. Los precios eran muy razonables para lo que teníamos y recomendaría a cualquiera para probarlo.

Decidimos ir a la F1 en Silverstone este año, pero me pareció que incluso 8 meses de antelación todos los hoteles de la zona estaban ya vendidos o ridículamente caros! Empezamos buscando otras opciones como catering y B&B, y encontramos el Stags Head!Nos alojamos en el nido de golondrinas por 2 noches, que es una habitación en un edificio separado del principal pub. La habitación es lo suficientemente grande para 2 personas, y había un pequeño baño privado. Estaba muy limpio y nos gustó lo tranquilo que era por la noche. Por desgracia, el wifi no funciona porque la señal no alcanza la habitación, pero esto no nos molestó ya que no necesita. El pub tiene acceso wifi si es necesario.El B&B está en una ubicación tranquila aldea, y a unos 30 minutos en coche del Circuito de Silverstone. Era el lugar perfecto para alojarse, ya que podíamos ir y venir como nos consulte sin molestar a nadie! Los propietarios también eran tan encantadora y servicial. También está a sólo 30 minutos en coche de Banbury, Bicester y Leamington Spa.Como estábamos tan temprano (4 am) y tarde, no tuvimos la oportunidad de comer en el Stags Head, pero ofrecen un menú estupendo si no quieres comer allí. Siempre estaba ocupado cuando regresamos por la noche, parecía un lugar popular para comer!Nos volveríamos a alojarnos aquí de nuevo si regresamos a Silverstone, o si simplemente visitando la zona. Es un gran tesoro escondido en una parte bonita de la región.

We were lucky enough to be visiting family in the beautiful village of Swalcliffe which coincided with the local pub's Greek night.The pub/restaurant is family run by a Greek-English couple supported by their two sons. On the last Saturday of the month they host their Greek night a feast of authentic Greek food served Meze style, the menu included, but was not limited to, bread, Greek salad and Greek dip starters, Briam and grilled aubergine, Gavros, Calamares, grilled cheeses, beef souvlaki, meatballs and finally a plate of Greek deserts and fresh fruit.Greek wines, beers and metaxa were a great complement to the food and coffee.We were also treated to Greek dancing by our hosts.Rounding off a truly memorable evening.If you are ever passing through Swalcliffe we would recommend The Stags Head to you, especially if you, like us, manage to be there in Greek night.

What could be better on a warm sunny day than a Greek taverna-style lunch in the garden of an Oxfordshire village pub with a view of the village church spire over the thatched roof and meadows on the other side, all overseen by a native Corfiot? Not much from our experience.

Mi pareja y yo acabamos de volver de Grecia y el deseo de comida griega comenzó tan pronto como nos bajamos del avión. Hace mucho tiempo que vinimos aquí para una noche griega y fue divertido, así que conseguimos directamente en el coche.Es un pintoresco y bonito pub en un pueblo tranquilo. Estábamos tan emocionados de estar de vuelta y nos recibieron muy calurosamente por el propietario. Nos sentamos en el bar para examinar el menú. Opciones y bebidas en mano hicimos nuestro camino a la mesa.Nos gustó estar de vuelta y fue agradable en una tranquila noche. Se podía oír el canto de los pájaros afuera. Una pena que no estaba lo suficientemente caliente para sentarse fuera.Para empezar optamos por un Griego Mezze para comenzar. Precioso a ajo y caseros houmous tsatsiki, aceitunas y crema de queso feta, jugosa ensalada fresca y cálida tostado pitta. Lo que no al amor.Yo opté por el pollo souvlaki a seguir. Porción muy generosa. La carne era encantadora y tierna y muy sabrosa. Estupendas ensaladas, patatas fritas y pan pitta. Todos wolfed con más de la preciosa tsatsiki.Mi pareja fuimos fuera de pista y tenía el Spaghetti Puttanesca. La pasta fresca y de sabor puede incluso sido caseros. La salsa era fresca y llena de aceitunas.Con un poquito de espacio a la izquierda de mi otra mitad fuimos el Baklava servido con yogur griego, un polvo de canela y frutos secos. La manera perfecta de terminar una comida.Fue genial poder tener lager griego, Mythos a mojarlo con. Yo estaba muy contento con el francés Sauvignon Blanc.Durante toda la noche charlamos con el propietario. El servicio es honesto, amable y rápido. Te hacen sentir como en casa.Sin duda recomendaría comer aquí. No pasar en un coche. Salir de su camino para encontrarlo. No te decepcionará.

Dicen que el personal hace la diferencia y es muy cierto aquí en el Stags Head, con un gran equipo de la familia en este pequeño pub del campo. Aparecimos para una copa rápida hace un mes o así, mientras que en el sendero de la arte semanas, y encantados de una bienvenida muy cálida de el propietario griego, que era feliz para nuestro perro venir también! Después de un rato, y charlando quizás otra pinta o así, reservamos para la noche griega. Me alegro de haber reservado ya que estaba lleno y por una noche y un mes Stags Head es una taberna!! Un menú muy completo, está a la orden de la noche, salsas y pan precioso con una ensalada griega para empezar, seguido de curso después de campo yummyness!! Realmente precioso y muy auténtica comida griega, junto con un poco de baile griego. Servicio atento desde el equipo de la familia, tuvimos una noche maravillosa y volveremos para otros más. El menú normal parece bueno, y con perros bienvenido, jardín de la cerveza en un entorno encantador, no mucho que no te guste!

Siempre he disfrutado del ambiente de la Stags Head pero, hasta el viernes pasado, nunca he tenido tiempo uoportunidad. Lo que me animó fue, cuando el Hijo lanlords, reveló que el pescado fresco fue entregada cada viernes. Quizás no sea opción en un viernes por la noche, pero para los que, como yo, que no, que sería un largo camino para comer tan fresco una gran masa y bacalao en papas fritas caseras, preparado por la señora de la casa. También hay una noche de comida griega, el último sábado del mes, que es, al parecer, también muy popular. Sin duda volveremos pronto!

Me alegro mucho de haberlo hecho, como todo en nuestro viaje de regreso era simplemente maravilloso. Nuestra habitación era realmente ocultar, Golondrinas bastante encantador y los anfitriones acogedores, han pensado en todo.

Lo que es un fantástico lugar para alojarse. Los anfitriones son muy acogedores y extremadamente amable. La habitación en sí era genial. Muy bien equipado con todo lo esencial y perfectamente organizados. Los detalles (agua, leche, jugo y galletas) estaban muy bien pensados y una fantástica adición. El desayuno es descrito como "continental", pero lo que se ofrece es mucho más de lo que se esperaba o ver en otro lugar. Nada es demasiado para estos hosts. Mi pareja y me encantó, ya hemos reservado para volver a probar la Noche Griega más tarde en el año. Recomiendo encarecidamente una visita!

El desayuno se puede describir como "continental" pero que ofrecía mucho más de lo que uno puede esperar. El yogur y miel griego estaba deliciosa, y había una opción caliente. Agradables lugareños frecuentan el pub. Está bien situado para explorar la zona. Su cocina es excepcional y nos quedamos encantados de tener la cena en el pub.

La habitación estaba muy limpia, muy cómoda y muy bien decorado. Agradables toques extra, como una selección de revistas actuales, leche y zumo fresco en una mini nevera y una lata de galletas. El desayuno era en el pub y era continental. Disfrutamos cereales, yogur griego con miel, cruasanes, tostadas con una taza de café. Los propietarios son muy amables y muy buena relación calidad-precio. Sin duda me alojaría aquí de nuevo.
