The Blue Boar in Vale of White Horse - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very disappointed that under aged kids are allowed to drink in the pub. I had to pick my son up drunk, he is 16. To tell my older son who collected him, he doesn’t notice when it’s busy, it’s your job and your staff to not allow them in and serve them.

Beautiful village pub. First time visiting and the service was lovely, peaceful and friendly. The food was very tasty, great portion sizes and quality was lovely, first time my son ate all of his food (he’s very fussy) great value for money and will absolutely be visiting again. Such a peaceful location and super friendly! If your thinking of going you absolutely must you will not be disappointed.

Landlord Anthony made every effort to lay on a superb spread of hot and cold, meat and vegetarian options. Though there is no specific function room, there is a large alcove in the pub to afford all necessary privacy, and bar staff were able to manage a tab for guests. All facilities were clean and bright. Draught beers were Old Hooky & Hook Norton Bitter both kept extremely well. The cost was reasonable and as anticipated. A deposit of £10 p/h was required. Negotiating requirements was both amicable and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend The Blue Boar for receptions / events of any nature. Keep up the good work, Anthony & Team.

The absolute epitomy of local country pub, particularlu if you're yearning for that cotswold vibe. It's like being invited into someone's home with relatives you haven't seen in ages. The locals are super friendly and well behaved dogs are part of the furniture, as there are no end of "good boys" to say hi to. The food never disappoints, the wine is hand selected from a local wine dealer and is good value for money considering the quality and the fact you won't be served something you can pick up in a supermarket. If you know what cocktails you like, odds are they can be made and the landlord is always on the hunt for something a bit special. The atomstphere is particularly nice on a sunny day or in the evenings as the interior is very cosy and you're spoilt for fireplaces. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. Worth a trip out of the city for. Oxford and London! Have taken some of my London freinds here for the true Oxfordshire experience. A total hidden gem. If you do fancy it, you actually can take a walk from the pub down to the Thames too! So a good rendezvous spot for walkers.

We hadn’t been to the Boar for sometime and I instantly ‘sensed ‘ the new ownership .. The ambience was fresh , informal with a homely feel. Staff were attentive throughout . The menu was innovative without pretension. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our choice of burger ( very well presented ) and the risotto of asparagus, pea and broad bean with blue cheese and walnut topping which was delicious. We shared a cheesecake, passion fruit with apricot couli I regretted the sharing . They are wanting to get on the food map and very deserving too, so get your sat nav programmed for your next meal out it will be well worth it .

Good food and friendly service. Had friends visiting so the 6 of us went for lunch on Saturday. Chilly day so bar was also chilly until fire got properly going. Good was good for all, both kids and adults all enjoyed.

Food and drinks were lovely, staff and atmosphere even better. Really enjoyed our evening there and would love to return.

This pub used to be our real go to for food, but has really changed. We only came for a drink today, but the Pinot Grigio was almost warm and tasted cheap and like vinegar. We both tried to finish it, and just couldn’t which is saying something. Worse still though were the toilets. They were dirty and had not been cleaned. Neither had the wash hand basin. Even more worrying at this time when things should be super clean. This is all so sad as it was the most gorgeous and cared for village pub, where gorgeous home cooked food and a warm atmosphere with great wine was a constant. Not now sadly.

Visited here for lunch - friendly staff and owner and the food was good with decent portions. We had a selection of starters to share and finished it off with dessert, all reasonably priced. Will definitely return.

Stopped for a coffee mid-afternoon, so it was quiet. People still there, lazing on a sunny afternoon. It's pretty much as you'd expect of a rural pub, with a shiny coffee machine and all that goes with it. Easy-going rather than super-posh with friendly staff and - nice coffee.

Excellent food. very nice setting. highly recommended. we will be using them again once current problems are over.

Cheeky little late night drink with Jane, Sam, Elise & Puddle 🦮 🍷🍷🍷🍷 Great bottle of red, open log fire & a spectacular medley of 80’s tracks playing - what a great way to roll into the weekend 😘 Keep it up guys!!!!

We had a wonderful meal at The Blue Boar last evening with friends Crab and Prawn Linguine with Chorizo was really great My own choice of half and half scampi with home made fish and chips was inspired. Good choice of wine Lovely atmosphere Very pleased to recommend Forgot to mention our starter of baked Camembert with garlic and rosemary ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visited this beautiful country pub on Sunday with my girlfriends. We all had a starter and a roast. No room for pudding due to the the delicious and generous portions! You certainly get the most of from your money paying £19 for 2 courses! This is a hidden gem which great character, roaring fires and low beamed ceilings, a proper country pub. The staff and locals are all very friendly even a little treat for my dog who was also very welcome. I’m coming again, heard rave reviews of homemade ribs! Yum!

Good sized portions of freshly prepared baguette sandwiches. We had the lamb with mint and battered fish. Both were very tasty. Beer was excellent - one of the few pubs in the area stocking the Marlow Brewery’s Rebellion IPA.

Poor lukewarm food, meat and some potato's too tough to cut, scampi starter appalling, resembled small prawn wrapped in paste rather than crispy batter, good service.

Home late & needed supper. Quick call to Molly to find kitchen open til 9pm. Tempted by BB Bubble & Squeak - absolute jackpot! Fabulous mash & veg pancakes topped with egg & caramelised bacon & garnished with sliced sausage & rocket. Sound good - wait til you add the special tomato sauce!!!!!Washed down with a refreshing pint!!!!Absolutely perfect late supper - thank you BB

This pub has been a much loved watering hole for many many years, but it is no more. I have been coming here since 1977, since when it has gone from strength to strength, with a wonderful atmosphere, a caring landlord, a terrific buzz and excellent food. All that has changed recently, with a new owner. He/she/they inherited a well-known landmark with a great reputation and a full parking lot, then proceeded to completely strip it of all its character, all its good food and, apparently, all its clientele. I have been there twice recently, partly in the hope that the first time was an anomaly and partly because I couldn't quite believe my eyes. On both occasions, there were about 5 people in the entire pub, not one of them dining. Mostly empty, and stripped of its decor, the pub was far from welcoming - although the bar staff are perfectly sweet and efficient. The snack menu boasted cocktail sausages, olives and a few other dreary and uninspired offerings than looked like they had been lifted from the '60's. There was no other menu on show, except the mention of a Thursday "Curry Night", but the snack menu did not instill me with any confidence that it would be edible.All in all terribly sad. I can't imagine it will be around for long, because you simply cannot run a profitable pub nowadays without customers and good food. There is too much competition for this minimalist approach to work. So I say a very sad goodbye to the Blue Boar, and hope that one day it will regain its former glory, likely under new management.

Booked for Sunday lunch, the earliest they could do was 2pm (which is late for us with 2 kids) but turned up early and the table was ready which was a relief. The place wasn’t particularly busy, there were lots of flies, took over 30mins for the the starters to arrive and then easily the same again for main courses. When the mains arrived the food was just warm so needed to send it back again which meant a longer wait. The staff were abrupt and not attentive at all. The food wasn’t great either - more like a £7,95 Sunday lunch, not £16!! Would not recommend and would not return.

We went to The Blue Boar last night with friends.This is a beautiful country pub in the quaint village of Longworth.We enjoyed excellent pub food from a good menu, which would suit all tastes.The staff were very friendly and efficient and the owner, Anthony was very chatty and welcoming.We would definitely come back here if we are in the area again - keep up the good work.

We went here for an evening meal. We was treated like royalty with the staff hands on all the time. No waiting, No fuss just took the order and we had a tab too which was great. I will take my wife there again

Had lunch today. Really excellent Sunday roast and we had the beef & lamb. And when I say 'we' our 6 and 8 year old boys had the kid's beef roast and it was a perfect portion for them. Yorkshire puddings all round! Our servers were excellent and they had loads of board games and battleship to boot!

I came here with my partner for a drink, as we was staying in the area for the weekend, enjoyed it so much we came back every day until we had to leave. Lovely ambiance, lovely selection of drinks (gin especially) friendly locals & nice choice of food. Staff were also very friendly & helpful. Lots of table & chairs at the front & back of the pub, amazing!! We have just left (bank holiday Monday) after having enjoyed a beautiful hog roast lunch with a band playing live music in the background. Will definitely be back again!! Thank you.

I know the previous owner got to a point where he didn’t care much any more, but I’m very surprised the new people have let the food and service go even further downhill.

The menu has been simplified, but the quality of what is on the menu has suffered from cost/quality cutting, to the point that we won't be back. Not great Also, staff nice but made a complete mess of the bill.

What a wonderful hidden gem this is. Recommended by a colleague who is a ‘local’. Real coal fire, atmospheric village pub a real treat with fantastic food.

Yep, have to agree with the Vampire review - the amount of garlic in the fish risotto was over-powering - I think the thatched roof probably absorbs the vapours from it. Toilets need updating - pretty bad for a food pub. This may look pretty from the outside but beware the one who cooks with garlic!!!

Surprised this pub was not more popular given the quality of the beer - enjoyed a Hobgoblin Gold - and the quality of the food which was well presented although the veg was a little too aldente. Very Tasty home-made Chicken and Ham pie with mash £14, whilst my wife enjoyed a pork ciabatta sandwich with chips £8.

Because with the amount of garlic sauce in the 'fish risotto in garlic sauce' you will never see the moon again! Risotto in garlic sauce can be touched by garlic, it can bathe in garlic or even swim in garlic, but this risotto needed goggles and breathing aparatus such was the amount cooked in it! The actual risotto was well cooked and l would recommend this dish if you want to alienate yourself from the general public for the next week whilst your body tries to get rid of it.

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch with my mum and daughter. Large Yorkshire puddings, lots of gravy and a great mix of veggies. One of the best Sunday roasts for a long time. Great atmosphere with big fires and friendly staff.

Went to the blue boar for my Sunday lunch.i was able to take my dog as it's dog friendly. I got a lovely welcome and the service was great. I ordered the roast beef. It was delicious. I couldn't fault anything.i will definitely be returning

This place used to be superb but my last two visits have been extremely disappointing. Food mo more than OK, service quite poor, not very friendly and if you are not a local person, better off trying somewhere else, you are not felt to be welcome.

Met here for a lunch meeting. Nice pub in a small tucked away village. Service was excellent and so was the rebellion beer. Food was mostly good with one exception. We had soup and Thai fish cakes to start which were delicious. The Steak and kidney pudding was also great. A stew special was tasty but, served on an extra large plate with the stew potatoes and veg spaced far apart, it looked a bit odd. The disappointment was a Thai Red curry which was served in a bowl (I think they mixed up the serving plates). The rice was covered in sauce making it look like a runny rice pudding. There was quite a lot of nearly raw green peppers and a very crunchy Pak Choi stalk in with the few chicken pieces. The dish had a kick but i think this was due to a sprinkle of chilli or cayenne pepper over the dish. This was also a special but appeared to be a bit of an after thought. As I say, this was the only poor dish out of six so still worth 4 stars overall for our experience. Also got to watch the Rugby international with very friendly regulars.

We attended the pub which was really nice and the staff were really friendly. Some of the locals came into the pub and left the doors open, on a freezing cold day not the best thing to do.

Having been told great things about this place I took my family for an early Saturday night meal. Outstanding. The place was well run, nicely busy and the food varied and delicious. Pleasant staff, good service and prices that are affordable. Make the trip.

We had a delicious Sunday lunch at The Blue Boar. The meat was tender and the vegetables were very well cooked. The dessert was one of the best Sticky Toffee Puddings I have ever eaten as it was not overly stodgy or sweet.

We have just moved into the area and are trying out the local restaurants and decided to try The Blue Boar in Longworth for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our daughter and her school friend. We received a warm welcome and had a great table next to the open fire. The menu had a good choice of main courses, and the children's menu offered everything the girls wanted. I had the Sea Bass which was delicious, however the bacon lardons were burnt rather than crispy. My husband had the Pork Loin and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our daughter ordered the Homemade Meatballs and Spaghetti, however when it arrived it was Macaroni Cheese with meatballs on the top which we queried and were told that they didn't have any spaghetti so this was the substituted option. We sent this back to the kitchen as re-ordered Chicken Strips and fries which came out extremely quickly and were delicious! The girls ordered Chocolate Brownie's with icecream for dessert and my husband and I asked if we could share the cheese board, however they only bought one knife and no side plates which was not ideal when sharing cheese, crackers, chutney, etc. We had to ask for more crackers as it only came with 6 small crackers and a huge amount of cheese. I also ordered a Peppermint Tea which didn't come so we had to chase it up. All in all, it was a good experience and we had a great evening with the added benefit of the local carol singers coming in! The new owner just needs to refine their staff training, customer service and added touches to make it an excellent experience. We'll definitely return to sample the lunch menu and Sunday roast.

Myself and my Partner were driving back to London and decided to find a Country pub for Sunday lunch. We phoned the Blue Boar and a table was free..When we arrived we were greated by the owner and his friendly staff.The lunch was lovely and well worth stopping for.We would highly recommend a visit..

Such great food, ambiance, service, surroundings. The bar is such a fantastic place to eat. The food is high quality and home cooked. Love it there.

The Blue Boar has a new owner who has recently smartened up the exterior and I'm sure will start on the interior soon . We hoped the food was still up to standard and were glad to find that the food is still delicious, well cooked , served promptly and with a smile!

Daughter and partner recently moved to the area. We all fancied a pizza and up popped the Blue Boar website stating that they served pizza. On arrival whilst not having booked a table were accommodated. Menus given and were disappointed to be told that they no longer served pizza. Well, we decided to stay.... nice atmosphere, pleasant waiting staff. Drinks order taken and served. Food order taken, after a reasonable time starters arrived. Dishes cleared and waited for our mains..... an hour later no sign so decided to ask where they were! Waiting staff very apologetic told short staff in kitchen and “boss” working in there! Given a free round of drinks. Thank you. Told 5 to 10 minute wait.... 20 minutes later three dishes arrived and then minutes later the fourth. Very good food thank goodness as we were about to walk. We had noted that tables had been reserved in main dining area... and food going out to these tables. We would like to suggest that if you are short staffed in the kitchen and have reservations, don’t take on more than you can cope with..... we will not be back.

Had a drink here whilst out walking our two dogs and came back a couple of nights later for a meal which the main courses were good but the sweets were poor.

This is a lovely, warm and welcoming pub with friendly service and excellent food. The Thai Vegetarian Curry was of particular note. Would definitely recommend.

My sister and I visited this pub as a meet up destination with some other family members coming from another part of the UK. It is a lovely pub with an old feel, the staff were wonderful and welcoming and the food was excellent - best minted pea puree ever!! We did encounter a small problem with parts of our order being mixed up and arriving at the wrong time, but it was immediately dealt with efficiently and the manager at once said they would take that part of the order off our final bill. So despite the small set back, I would definitely highly recommend this place!

When we booked our 7.30pm Monday table they should have said the kitchen closed at 8.30pm, even though their website says dinner is served until 9pm. We wouldn’t have gone to celebrate our anniversary with my mother and daughter. It meant there was no dessert!

My husband asked for a glass of cider and a pint was poured. The glass of lemonade was filled with too much ice and he had to keep asking for some to be removed. The chips did not come with the rest of his meal. He had to wait until they had been cooked, so asked them to keep the rest of his meal warm whilst this was happening. It seemed as if all the staff did not know what they were doing.

Visited the blue boar for my wife and myself 40th wedding anniversary with family. We had an incredible welcome and a great meal the staff were very friendly, helpful and polite. The restaurant was clean and tidy. Really enjoyed the experience and will be certainly revisiting this lovely place again on my next visit to the area.

The epitome of a village pub; friendly staff, chatty locals and a real fire. Fabulous! You couldn’t ask for more of a proper country pub.

The roast beef in my Sunday lunch was very tough and stringy and difficult to cut. My wife's nut roast was bland. I had a 'strudel' pudding and was given just a spoon. I had to ask for a knife and fork as the spoon could only dent the puff pastry! The knife needed a lot of pressure to cut through it. So quite poor food and slow service although the staff were fine - just not enough even though they were not full whilst we were there.

I've reviewed this before and did not have a good experience. Tried it again and what can be better than a decent pint of Otter and fish and chips. Am a bit of a chip specialist and the chips were some of the best for miles around. Add to this that this is one of the most atmospheric pubs in the area.

Really sorry but have to say that we had the most disappointing meals on our visit here the other week.

An excelent meal in a delightful pub, friendly and polite staff. A cosy atmosphere, very quaint! An excelent setting to have a barbeque in the garden.

The Blue Boar is a lovely traditional, cosy pub with a great atmosphere. It is great for a drink around the bar and the food is also very good. We love to visit this pub whenever we are in the area.

My husband and I after a visit to Oxford decided to head out to Longworth to The Blue Boar for lunch and once again we were not disappointed! Ye ole’ worldly charm of the place is unique as is the friendly and knowledgable staff that attended to us. We ordered an 8oz fillet steak swished down with a delicious bottle of merlot. The steak was cooked just the way I like it, not too rare and himself, well he likes his blue and blue it was!! After numerous cups of coffee we reluctantly left for our journey back to London. We’ll be back!

The main bar at the Blue Boar is a lovely, cosy, characterful place, heavily beamed with various agricultural implements attached to the beams and a huge open fire. Either side of the main bar there are separate areas primarily set out for dining. The food is of the hearty and wholesome variety, rather than fine dining, which for me is a good thing, and is excellent. I enjoyed a delicious Duck Casserole with Herb Dumplings, although at £16.95 is a little on the pricey side; indeed most of the main items on the menu are priced around the £mid-teens. Service is efficient and the young staff here are very welcoming and friendly.

For how long will residents of this lovely part of Oxfordshire put up with the awful food in the Blue Boar? It is consistently poor - cold, undercooked, overcooked, slow - you name it. The locals had a rule - don’t go too far from the core menu and it’ll be ok - burgers, pizza or fish n chips. Even this cannot be guaranteed following a recent visit (undercooked and chewy pizza base, undercooked chips). Such a shame. Why? Because this is a great village pub, a traditional drinking pub with welcoming fire, friendly staff and customers.

Always a good visit even if we only go once a year. Food lovely, staff efficient and friendly. They've even got their own rugby team!

My wife and I popped in here for a lunch last month and having ordered some drinks, the service was so lacklustre we decided not to risk lunch.

We had a casual supper with friends. The food is solid without trying to be too fancy. I had a steak although had originally ordered the lamb that was not available.

Visited on a Saturday night with two friends who were down for the weekend. The pub was very full, so we were pleased we'd booked in advance. Waitress service was perfect despite it being a busy night - they were all very attentive, professional and well-organised. We were served our drinks order in good time, and informed of a slight delay of 5-10 minutes for ordering food while a large group was served, which was no problem at all and was no longer than the time stated.

Food pretty good but portion sizes bizarrely erratic. In Mains roast duck was massive (and succulent), fish & chips normal, haddock very small indeed. In Puds sticky toffee pudding huge but treacle tart small. Waitress said people had complained about over-large portions! Overall not really up to previous very high standard.

We visited the very pretty country pub - The Blue Boar. Set in the Oxfordshire countryside the business is quintessentially British.

I have had many meals here over recent years and have considered the quality to be generally decent to good. Unfortunately my most recent experience was very poor and I can't imagine going back for a while. I selected the smoked haddock but it was poorly cooked (still raw and cold in places) and, when informed, staff didn't seem to concerned and the chef was apparently absent. Maybe this explained the poor quality of the food.

Set in a beautiful village, The Blue Boar seems to be popular with locals and visitors alike. Traditional cosy pub with some seating outside the front. It offers a large menu, however we found the food to be only average and pretty much typical pub fayre. Still a nice place to pop in for a drink after a walk.

I have been to the blue boar many times and has to be one of my favourite traditional pubs. Foods usually been really nice, however, I came for lunch today and it was extremely disappointing.

Still a proper village pub with great atmosphere however, food standards have slipped badly. Presentation and content now no better than lots of cheaper locals.Previously food never fell into the pub grub description which it does now.

Perhaps a little off the beaten track but well worth a visit - and I would book first as it is very popular which confirms the service offered. A large and varied menu to suit all tastes and friendly helpful staff. Go on - try it!

Nice country Pub with atmosphere good Beer. But unfortunately, it’s not a Gastro Pub the food lets it down. The Menu which is on offer is too pricey and ambitious for the catering team. The Chicken liver pâté was a cheep brought in Product and served with limp taste.The hot smoked trout was overcooked and dry and served with a Romesco Sauce. Know it deftly wasn’t a Romesco Sauce. I would suggest that they look up the recipe for this classic Sauce in any good cook Book. Finally, the cheese and biscuits which ends any good meal served with pickled celery very disappointing.

The service was very friendly, albeit a tad slow, but unfortunately the food just wasn't good enough. The mains that we selected where either under cooked or lacked flavour. The fish portion was poor, pink inside and had no flavour as it appeared to lack any seasoning. The waitresses tried hard and we very apologetic about the wait times, which were fine but unfortunately it wasn't worth the wait.

Popped in to the blue boar for the first time while in Witney.Staff lovely & friendly great ambience only had time for a quick drink , grate service lots of people eating did not have time but will return .

Visited for a drink on the way home from Witney. Nice pub with quirky decor (skis hanging from ceiling) staff friendly and menu looks interesting, will come back to eat at some point

This lovely pub is off the beaten track, in rural `Oxfordshire, not far from Oxford. We had an excellent meal -- taking advantage of locally sourced food, a hamburger for me, a pheasant for David, followed by the best ever Sticky toffee pudding. The service was excellent, great ambiance, a roaring fire in the fireplace. 'hard to beat.

Family arranged lunch for my 70th birthday. 11 of us from different part of the country, Longworth being within reach of all of us. Very well looked after, nothing too much trouble. Everyone enjoyed their meal - which all arrived within seconds of each other - excellent organisation in the kitchen.Many thanks for making it a day I shall never forget.

After meandering through the countryside with a saddle-sore backside, we at last had a chance to relieve the pressure that 30 miles cycling builds. Ushered towards one of the numerous fires my cycling companions and I found ourselves looking at all the trinkets and antiques on walls, windows and ceilings. This place felt wonderfully cosy and, although we didn't eat, we did find our eyes wondering as wonderful food drifted passed our noses. Maybe with some 'accidental' misdirection our never-go-the-same-place-twice cycling routes can lead us conveniently back to this pub once more with time for food ;)

Second time of eating at this lovely looking pub tucked away in the Oxfordshire countryside. The place is certainly atmospheric, well lit, nicely decorated and pleasant to have a meal in. The menu is varied and reasonable value for money. Choice of beers good also. The quality of the food is acceptable if not exceptional but no real complaints. Service was was also agreeable on both occasions visited. Worth checking out.

Small car park fills quickly with only narrow roads left to park in. Disappointed in the Seafood linguini, mainly tentacle of squid, finished before friend halfway through her very tasty short rib of beef, due to difference in portion sizes. Main courses are expensive. Main course took along time to arrive. Puddings delicious and large portion. Pizza menu is available.Recommend for charm/ambience and friendly staff, good for a drink.

I have been coming to this pub since the late 90's and every time we come over from Australia we always visit and I'm still in love with this stunning quaint pub and still the same bar flies at the bar!

Had a family visit for Sunday roast at the weekend. Lovely cozy atmosphere with great service off their friendly staff. Food took a little while to come out but was worth it. Desert was just as lovely. Been once before so thought we'd try again, will definitely go back and would recommend. Dogs also welcome.

Good hospitality and ambiance, good beers and food. One of the few pubs I've seen with handled beer glasses hanging up, a supern local, traditional village pub, may they never die. Well done.

Very nice place to go and chill . And have a few beers and chat. The staff are welcoming as the locals. So you should hop over and see for yourself.

Second time we have been to the Blue Boar with friends accompanied with two dogs a piece. The anti pasti board is great and makes a welcome change from a full roast at lunch time. Sat out side on both occasions. Very nice.

We love the Blue Boar and have usually found the food to be very good . BUT we took a group of friends for Sunday lunch today and were embarrassed by the tasteless watery food we were served. The roast potatoes had been kept warm for hours, the veg had started life as frozen veg, was watery and lacked any flavour, the pork was rather fatty and despite that, did not arrive with any cracking. The apple sauce was clearly not home made either. The waitresses were attentive and smiley but the coffee took forever to arrive. I am guessing the chef has changed? So disappointing.

This place used to be great. Went for lunch but was very disappointed with the quality of the food. It's so annoying because it would not take much to make this place perfect.

Great ambience. Some wonderful staff, and one sackless dark haired girl who barely smiled and was not much use. Good menu, the best Eton Mess in history!!!! One rare roast beef last week was exceptional but one this week was tough as old boots... very odd. Good starters. Loved all the desserts.

Great little country pub with good young staff. Dog friendly with a pretty little village surrounding it too.

Excellent evening out; beautifully presented meals served by personable, friendly staff who were only too happy to accommodate requests. Gorgeous traditional, thatched pub with updated interior and snug, cosy atmosphere - candles and fresh flowers in abundance! Friendly, young crowd with happy dogs who were offered water and pats from attentive staff. This is a hidden gem!

When we arrived, yesterday Sunday around 12.00 we were not totally sure they were open as all entry doors were shut. Thankfully all were unlocked. WIne and Beer were excellent and so nice that a pub has other offerings on a Sunday apart from the "Roast" which looked good by the way.We tend to eat at night so opted for a sharing Antipasti with a side, very good. The menu looked very good and reasonably priced.Big plus for us is they are dog friendly in one part of the bar, we sat outside but will bear this in mind for the cooler weather to come...probably July.Interestingly there was a roaring log fire going and made the place very welcoming, even in the deepest of June!Longworth is also away from main roads and the pub is in a no through road so beautifully quiet.Enjoy!

The first time I've eaten here in the evening and was a little disappointed. Wobbly table to start off, then found they didn't stock my favourite aperitif, OK I’m fussy, but the staff had never heard of Ricard ! The mains seemed overpriced in my opinion, nonetheless paying £ 21.95 for a sirloin steak I hoped it would be near perfect. I asked for rare but it didn’t bleed but luckily I was provided with a very sharp knife as I had to battle against the gristle running right through. I did report my not total satisfaction when the plates were cleared and the server said my comments would be fed back. I followed with a cheese and biscuits platter to finish off the reasonably priced bottle of Argentinian Malbec; not much cheese but lots of cream crackers and grapes; again a little pricey. The young staff were friendly and attentive but need to see how it could be done.

We were camping nearby and booked here for our large group of 17 people. We were asked to pre-order which was easily done by email using the menus on the pub's website. Our order was quickly confirmed. Once we arrived our food came impressively quickly. It was well presented, tasty 'pub grub' with good portion sizes - most of the childrens' meals could have comfortably fed the average adult. The exception was the kid's pasta which was small and didn't seem to contain the promised bacon. Dessert portions again were rather varied - all were adequate but the sticky toffee pudding could have fed two or three! Staff looked after us well and came back several times to check all was ok, bring jugs of water etc.

We have been to the Blue Boar about half a dozen times in the past. It's a smashing pub west of Oxford and a great place to go to feel you have got away from the city.We ate on a Saturday night and sat in the restaurant which hasn't got the character of the bar area but is still a nice place to eat.My wife is vegetarian and the pub doesn't have lots of options so she opted for a pizza which she was quite happy with. For the first time i tried the Blue Boar Burger and it fell short of the other meals I have had at this pub. In particular the bacon was quite fatty and not very crisp and the chips a little below parHaving said this we had a good night and the staff were great. We will probably return again but not in a silly hurry.

Beautiful country pub, enjoyed a lovely early dinner, homemade burgers, delicious! The service and friendliness of staff and locals was great. Will definitely visit again.

We used to come here often and were always impressed by the food, however in the past couple of years the standards appear to have slipped somewhat... I have been in a number of times at lunchtime and been denied a table for two as they were supposedly all booked up for the afternoon. We decided to stay for a drink instead and were in the pub for a good hour and just one of the tables was filled and we were sure that they could have fitted us in. Their loss on our custom; it seemed they just couldn't be bothered with us. When we have managed to get a table, the food was disappointing and staff unfriendly and unable to take complaints. We have been served bottles of warm white wine many times and have been told that it is 'supposed to be served that way'. (Anyone who knew anything about wine would know otherwise...) Blue Boar Burger used to be a go-to main course but has declined in quality. Shame as it was a favourite.Having said this the ambience in the pub is pleasant, and still looks traditional and un-commercialised. Open log fires in the winter are lovely. Pub is also very clean.

The pub is a little off the beaten track, but is worth finding. It is south of the Cotswolds but has a cotswoldy feel about it. It has the décor of a country pub, and a friendly feel to it. We had the ciabattas off the lunch specials menu for £7.95 each, and they were good value, coming with chips and salad. The log fire lept us warm on what was a colder showery April day.

A luncheon for 14 persons was arranged, ala carte was offered and all items served were hot, tasty and tasted delicious. The service was superb and the atmosphere of a typical English pub was warming and welcoming.

Excellent food from the smaller afternoon menu, great cosy pub with a real fire, good service. I wish my local pub were this good.
