The Blueberry in Vale of White Horse

We popped in the pub of the Blueberry for some drinks and a snack we found the staff to be rude when one of the staff came out with our pizza we were offered no plates or sauces and they even didnt check on us to see if everything was ok this was very much a pub for the locals we felt unwelcome. We would not go back. The staff offered free pizzas to locals and ignored us.

Pizza was amazing. Customer service is at the very bottom. Noisy. Dirty floor. Dogs in dining area We have been living in Blewbury for past 7 years ( have engaged village activities as well) and this was the very first time we went there for Thursday Big Pizzas. Wood oven pizzas were delicious. Crispy, cheesy and full of toppings. The cook was amazing too with very pleasant gesture. But the place wasn't very clean. There was no waiter to take up the orders. Waited 20min and realised you had to go to the bar to order. It was mentioned on the wall by the entrance. Then food was served and drinks weren't served, so had to ask twice as we were halfway of our meals and really needed our drinks, especially the kids. People arrived with dogs and dogs were going under our tables. We love pets but don't expect to see them in public restaurants when people are trying to have food. We booked the table in-advace because of kids but our table was right by the bar and next to the entrance. People were walking behind me and pushing me in as I was sitting because it was very narrow gap between the chairs and bar. Very noisy with people drinking after work. Not comfortable at all. Don't feel like a countryside pub. **** Well., We can see that owner has replied on the review. Seems like he hasn't taken it in very well. Can see that you don't want to understand your customers needs but to tell about your good/ regular customers. We were not there to save money or have your free fantas (don't insult your customers when responding to their feedback). Your deal was published on your website and we love wood- oven pizzas. You don't have to suggest the customers to when to come. We came on Thursday because we rarely get a day off together in midweek. There wasn't anyone to talk or request our needs. We tried to reach the bar couple of times but came back and sat down as poor girl was on her own, serving busy night. It's probably suit for drinkers but not for families as you clearly point about money you get. We are very familiar with most of pubs & restaurants around Didcot/ Oxford/ Wallingford and many more.Thank you for your response and we feel, that we have been let down for the second time after reading your response. Thank you

Great local pub! Staff are always welcoming and happy to deal with everyone efficiently! Reading some of the negative reviews I’m baffled, definitely do not want to have a Tesco in its place & I don’t plan on eating off the floor so if my boots are a little dirty who cares. Selection of beers it’s great Stella, Coors, Staroporamen, Guinness, Thatchers, some bottled beers & ales on tap can’t go wrong. If you’re looking for something else then maybe go the off-licence and drink at home or stop being so fussy!

Went here for lunch and it never disappoint. Superb lush food. I tried the Calamari it was cooked to perfection, the Halloumi is superb as well as the sliced beef starter. My husband and I both had the Mixed Lamb and Chicken for Main and it was so tender, so delicious! We are both stuffed is all I can say. Too bad there is not enough room for dessert. Lovely staff and are very friendly and welcoming. Even the owners are helping as it was really busy earlier today. As what I always say, "If it's busy and you see there's a lot of people, food must be very delicious." Highly recommended. We will be back to try other dishes.

Made us feel super welcome as soon as we arrived. Looked after us from the word go.

A brilliant combination of a family-friendly pub and fabulous Thai food. The staff were so helpful and attentive. Next time we will try out the pizzas which looked really good and we could see being freshly prepared and cooked in the wood-fired oven.

In contrast to some reviews we received a really friendly welcome from all the staff, Kevin in particular taking the time to chat to us all. The Thai food was delicious despite a longer than average wait as our order didn’t go through the first time but this didn’t matter as we were having a lovely time. Drinks ordered from the bar but table service so no issues there. Food paid for separately but again no issues with this. Overall very tasty food and friendly service, definitely worth the drive out from Tilehurst and we will be visiting again.

Excellent food, limited drink options for lager drinkers.

Seemed full of half cut regulars. Coffee cup had someone else's lipstick remnants on the rim. We didn't stay long.

Cramped and confused Unfriendly staff and way too many of them no waiting space unsure where allowed to sit Do this for pizza Do that for Thai

Very friendly and welcoming. Delicious Thai food. Incredibly helpful staff.

Great Pizzas, great hosts and great environment and atmosphere

Good place to meet up for a meal. The food was excellent admixture of Tai and pizza.

Went on a dinner date and enjoyed everything on my plate. Definitely great pub with all the varieties of tasty grub from Tia Cuisine to pizza's and ice cream. If you haven't already been then be sure next time your seen in the area have a look and definitely book a table, as they do have ale and all.

Oh… my… god. Like, totes fabluurs. Divine food. Fab staff. Go. Just go.

Brilliant service from the bar staff and great food in the Thai restaurant. Been a few times now and always had brilliant food and drinks.

I was delighted to find more vegetarian options than the online menu suggested; the lunchtime menu offers good value for 1, 2, or 3 dishes, in addition to items from the all-day menu. There is a nice selection of bitters, including Good Old Boy from the West Berkshire Brewery, and I discovered I like Guinness Zero as my second pint. We had excellent service at the bar and in the Chor Muang Thai restaurant. I enjoyed my Tofu Pad Thai, and one of my friends reckoned his portion of sea bass was twice the size of that from his local pub.

We visited on a Thursday evening and it was very busy, lots of people enjoying their food! Great food, helpful staff and lively atmosphere

We went for my daughters birthday.it was one of the worst food we have ever experience.We actually left most of itand had to drink the wine.For nus as a family it was the worst p,ace we have ever eaten.

Had a fantastic evening meal here. Freshly cooked quality food. There was a little wait as the pub was very busy but we were kept informed. The food was worth waiting for and prices very reasonable.

Pizzas are amazing! The in-house traditional Thai is also a great dining experience. Thursdays is any pizza for £7 and a large white or red house wine is £5…!! What's not to love.

Excellent Thai food and you can also get wonderful pizza from a wood fired oven. The staff are so friendly and service is superb. Have eaten here loads of times and have never been disappointed. A great pub to visit.

Thai food from Chiand Mai in Oxfordshire. Local Thai and an ex excellent social pub

Came here yesterday (23/09/23) for a 30th birthday present treated by my family. We was welcomed by the landlords and waitress who showed us to our table with a lovely warm smile. We was there for the Thai for lunch, so the pub waitress was doing the drinks round and a lady who does the Thai. The lady who was serving us from the Thai side was from turkey and I’m very forgetful with names but I can’t fault a thing, she was very helpful, patient with us due to my mum having long term illness. No rush whatsoever. She even pointed out some recommendations from the Thai menu. To list a few I had the grill chicken with peanut sauce for starter, sweet chilli prawns too. Both which was lovely and delicious. Just to point out these were small portions so might be best to have a couple of starters if you want to try and get yourself full up. And for mains I had the street food minced pork with chilli and spices with a fried egg on top. Again this is lovely and delicious. Tip: if you aren’t a fan of hot and spicy then this isn’t for you, but they can reduce the hotness if required on request by you. Like I said, a few listed as I won’t mention every meal as it was a lot as a family. But every plate was delicious and well presented and served by the lady with a lovely smile. 5 stars for the friendly service by the landlords Kevin and lady. 5 stars also for the lovely lady who only been there a week with the nice dreadlocks. She was lovely, smiley and caring and good service. And then 5 stars for the Turkish lady who works in the Thai end. 5 stars for food and drinks! Would definitely be coming back. Thank you again all. Adam, Karen and Mary Beale

Incredibly helpful and friendly staff with a variety of food to sort all tastes.

The best Thai restaurant around Didcot

The number one question asked,,, "How long have you lived in Blewbury for"...? Um,,, Landlady so abrasive but the pizza good although this is overridden by hostility. If you get past the rather jazzy frontage and don't mind paying for the Thai food/pizza separately and being utterly felt irrelevant and feeling rather inadequate to those who have been villagers for generations then toughen up,,, great pizza!

This is a love pub When the management is present otherwise the staff Behaving in an inappropriate manner. A certain member of staff likes to let her fiance go behind the bar serving customers and turn the music up to loud Making an uncomfortable atmosphere

What a fantastic evening! Really fabulous atmosphere, massively friendly and welcoming staff, superb fun with the 'locals'... As well as some delicious food and tasty ales. Good value too. Recommend - especially on a Sunday evening!

wonderful food, everything fresh, great seasoning, very friendly staff.

I loved what I had : Tom Kha and fish and mango salad. Authentic flavour, really lovely on a warm evening. My friend thought the rice was on the mean side for his green curry.

A nice quiet place, some tables outside. Just a place to sit down and relax... :)

Such a lovely, pleasant venue. We had a fabulous meal in the Thai Restaurant. We then spent time enjoying the English ambience of this welcoming pub with friendly staff, comfortable furniture and beautiful surroundings.

Went axe throwing down the road and needed a spot of lunch. What a surprise to find a Thai restaurant in the back of this pub. The pub staff were really friendly and attentive. The staff at Chor Muang were lovely. Service was good, food was really tasty. Definitely recommend this place.

Excellent Thai food and friendly staff. Rear garden is shaded and comfortable.

Lovely Thai lunch with my daughter in the restaurant today. Friendly service too. Pizzas looked good as well, but they're a separate business at the same pub. Would also consider giving those a try on another visit!

Slightly unusual set up- the restaurant operates within the pub and is situated at the rear. Typical range of Thai dishes and generally good, though portions are on the small side. Nice atmosphere. Very hand for Didcot Station if you want to get away from Didcot itself. Friendly staff- especially in the pub. Would visit again.

Food was delicious, lovely friendly atmosphere to 👌

Great quiz night! Lovely atmosphere!

Friendly place, great food,helpful staff.

Lovely pub with decent ales and excellent Thai food. Would highly recommend the pad Thai and the holy basil chilli.

We popped by with our puppy, sat in the beer garden to have their delicious stone baked pizza! Really delicious, a great warm welcoming atmosphere!

Great food, friendly staff, good selection of drinks.

First time we have eaten Thai. We asked for advice and then got some delicious food. Very quick service. Had a lovely meal. Limited parking.

Amazing pizza, better than the Italians make! Friendly staff and always a good atmosphere.

Always receive a friendly welcome and the Guinness is perfect 🥰

Surprisingly good Thai food, and the famous pizzas cooked to order.

Anyone who loves Thai food will love the Blueberry, thr food is excellent, staff very friendly and helpful . Just a good experience

The pub remains but the restaurant is now run by Chor Muang Thai Restaurant and very good it was too. Food is authentic, fresh and very tasty. Prices are fairly high. Well worth a try

Brilliant meal, could not fault it.

**This review related to Chor Muang Thai at the Blueberry only!** I cannot find any way to review the restaurant only. Let's talk positives first. The food was mostly good. We had a satay to start - delicious. My wife had pad Thai - very good, she tells me. I had e-sarn chicken. This was tasty but was served on the bone. There was more bone then chicken on the plate. This was not mentioned on the menu. I wouldn't have ordered it otherwise. But it did taste nice. The venue though. A small room built into the back of the pub. When we arrived my name was on a little card on the table. I thought that was cute. The room is small and right next to a pizza kitchen. One of the tables was literally beside a door to a beer garden outside. People walked through from there to the bar. Not ideal. There was no atmosphere in the room at all. The service. Food was served quickly and one waitress was pleasant. The other seemed shy and perhaps untrained. No one asked us how our meal was our anything like that. When I mentioned my bony disappointment to the waitress at the end she brushed it off. The staff have nowhere to stand except blocking the route from this room to the bar. They looked very awkward and it made me feel awkward for them. I don't think they have had much or any training. I know it's a small town but that doesn't mean you don't aim for excellence! Next time I would order something different and have take away. The venue offers little as an eating out experience.

Essen super und super scharf und super schnell eins ah Restaurant würde ich immer weiter empfehlen. Ist aber schwere zu finden schade

Ate here this evening… early sitting at 7pm so still fairly quiet, although it started to fill up later on. Had chicken wings and gyoza starters, followed by Massaman beef and prawn dishes. Excellent thai food. Could not fault it. Thanks to the chef.

Ate at the Thai Gastro. Absolutely fabulous. So good I had to return 2 days later! You have to try it.

Had the most Amazing Thai will definitely be back very soon thank you so much

we booked in late on Sunday for an evening meal at the Thai service which is at the back of the pub. received such a friendly welcome as we walked in and told where to go and how it worked. buy drinks separately at the bar and go through to the Thai. Greeted by another friendly face and seated at our reserved table. they went through the menu with us advising what wasn't available (4 dishes) but the menu was so big there was plenty to choose from. we all went for 3 courses (piggies) - shared the delicious starters and then devoured our mains - the flavours were amazing and so tasty - the puddings were simple but 1 party member went for the "Dragon Ball" well that was interesting but so tasty. we are definitely going back one day and hope to be as please for our second . visit also have to say the locals in the bar are just as friendly to new customers.

Great pub. Really friendly staff with quick service. Great food too, at the Thai restaurant that is currently inside the pub. High quality flavour, with excellent service too. One of the best Thai places I've been too in a long while.

The Blewberry is taken to the next level with the opening of the Chor Muang Thai gastro restaurant. Sensational food. Highly recommended.

This is a great value place to eat if you are staying close by! You have to try the stone baked pizza. I was even able to have a gf pizza with vegan cheese! I can't even remember the lastnight I could eat something like that so thank you so much. We had a lovely walk round the village and then sat outside with another glass of gorgeous wine. Highly recommend 👌

I have seldom had a worse meal within such an unfriendly atmosphere and a with staff that couldn't seem to care less. 5 of us dined here and we won't be back. My meal was a steak and kidney pie with mash, peas onions and...

The pizzas are hand stretched and you can see them being made to order in a purpose-built oven. They were tasty and good value for money. Lots of other dishes on the menu weren’t available. Ice cream machine not working. Everything else looked and tasted...

Shared a lovely early dinner meal here with my wife. I ordered a chicken pizza which was oven baked to perfection. My wife had one of the pies which almost gave me second thoughts as to my own choice of meal. Super tasty mains for us both. I had the cheesecake for dessert, and my wife the brownie which were brilliant to finish off the meal. Lovely charming feel in the pub, in a small pretty village

Such friendly people in The Blueberry.

Popped in for a quick drink. Really clean and tidy with super friendly service and locals. Didn’t stay for food as had another placed booked but the pizza take away looked very popular.

Nice location relaxing country pub

Been going with my friends family since they moved. Best place out there!

Despite not being blue or a berry we had a lovely time in this pub

Fabulous pizza! Great outside area for having lunch with dogs.

The best gluten free pizza of my life (no exaggeration) cooked perfectly - my partner even preferred it to his regular pizza base (which was delicious too) would highly recommend!!

Lovely pizzas. Also gluten free and vegan options. Dog friendly as well. What more could you ask for.

Lovely Food. Pies were very tasty.

Warm and friendly pub with good locally sourced food. Had Sunday lunch here whilst in the area and would definitely go back whenever nearby

Visited for evening meal recently. Very disappointing. The food was reasonable. The service was non existence. Only service we got was when they gave us our meals. One man running bar and restaurant. Ordered food at bar. Plates never go cleared at all from table. Still there when we left. Then had to go to bar to ask for dessert menu. Got back to the table and we all decided what we wanted to then be told when we went went orderback at the bar there are no desserts. Waste of time. Won't be going back.

Called the Blueberry on Monday to try and pre-order some pizzas for Wednesday - was told to call on Wednesday, ok. Called on Wednesday shortly after opening (12pm) to preorder 9 pizzas, 3 garlic breads, a cheeseburger and chips to be collected that same day at 7:15pm. The service on the phone wasn't amazing but it was fine - I also asked for just two of the pizzas to be Gluten Free and that their boxes be marked "GF". Show up at 7:20, worried I'm a bit late. I tell someone I'm here to collected the big pizza order and I'm told it will be a 10 minute wait - not too bad. I have a group of 20 people waiting for me but 10 minutes isn't that bad. 7:30pm, no pizza. 7:45pm no pizza. 8:00pm no pizza 8:15pm pizza arrives 8:18pm I pay nearly full price for the whole order and leave. There was no attempt from the staff to communicate with me about the waiting time, just me and a friend sat at a table talking for nearly a full hour. We talk about how we're missing out on the event that ends at 9pm and hope that everyone isn't missing this pizza too much. There was no apology of even acknowledgement from the staff that we had been waiting nearly a whole hour to collect pizzas that I had pre-ordered several hours in advance (I would have given them two days notice if they let me!). None of the boxes were marked GF so we had no idea which pizzas were Gluten Free - I called to ask about this and they told me "look at the pizza base, the gluten free pizza base has holes in it" - we could not identify which pizza base was Gluten Free. To be honest I'm not even sure if our pizza had all it's ingredients on it as I ordered three of the "popeye" and didn't see any walnuts on there. From what I could tell, they hadn't actually prepared ANY of my order prior to my arrival so I had to sit and wait for all the pizzas to be cooked from scratch. I can appreciate that this ensures that the pizzas are 'fresh' when I collect them but given the amount of notice they had there MUST have been a better way of doing things. We had an event booked from 7-9pm nearby and in the end I only got to take part for about 15 minutes after everyone ate their pizza. Such a shame. Update: I feel I should add that despite The Blueberry commenting on this review, they never contacted me regarding this experience.

The only place in Cap Ferret where cyclists, bikers and surfers can hang out

Super beer, best for awesome pizzas, other food too. Friendly staff. Wonderful downland pub.

Love the pizza and Moo and blue pie.

Stopped for a few drinks during a Ramble. Great selection of beer and friendly service.

We arranged a family birthday party for our daughter and Kevin and his team went the extra mile. The food and service was exceptional. Thank you again Kevin. Definitely recommend 10/10.

Just went for a drink. The pub seemed warm and friendly. There are some nice seating options and the rugby was on the telly so what's not to like. We didn't eat but I did see some food go by and I would definitely consider returning for a meal.

Visited recently for meal which was fine but it was a Saturday evening and by about 9.00 pm restaurant started emptying and staff started hoovering and moping area whilst we were still dining! Appreciate that they want to get home but don't think that this...

Hey it's quite good! Really nice folks with their take on pizza and food. A good clean environment with nice service. Happily go bake time and again.

Really can't fault this place: super enthusiastic, young and smiley staff and management. I grew up in Blewbury, when it still had four pubs. Now it has two and this is by far the better of the two! I have all sorts of irritating food intolerances, plus I arrived with a friend, to a crowded pub, on a match day, and I'd arrived after the kitchen had closed. I thought 'No chance of anything to eat'. Not so: the manager came and sat down next to me said 'So what can you eat? Perhaps I can make you something'. I was so impressed: next up, in under 15 minutes, I had a delicious meal I could eat and it was just delicious. Not sure how you could improve this place - really top level service from a small village pub.

Very tasty pie, the pizza's look good. And the sticky toffee pudding was very tasty

Called the Blueberry on Monday to try and pre-order some pizzas for Wednesday - was told to call on Wednesday, ok. Called on Wednesday shortly after opening (12pm) to preorder 9 pizzas, 3 garlic breads, a cheeseburger and chips to be collected that same day...

Superb pub brilliant bar staff lovely atmosphere excellent food and good choice of draught and bottled beers ales and beers dogs welcome definitely go back for more food and beers and great atmosphere

Great pub. Good humoured, great food, fun bar staff. Recommended.

We popped in for a meal on a weekday. The kitchen has just closed but they reopened for us. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We all ordered pizzas which were excellent and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.

The Blewberry was one of my favourite places to eat the food was always good and the service excellent. this is the second time we have visited since it changed ownership. Unfortunately little has changed the service was poor we were almost forgotten. Had to...

Great pizza, great service, great company. What more could you ask for.

Mum and I had a meal here this evening. We had the homemade pies and they were delicious. The service was great and Karen the landlady made sure we were well looked after. This place ticks all the boxes 😊

Good pizza fresh cooked in the oven in front of your eyes. Pies are good too with the mothership option great value for extra sides. Staff are amiable and helpful.

Great little pub/ restaurant, which serves a good variety of beers and lagers. They also serve food, but I've not tried them yet to know how it is. The staff seem really friendly, like a good local pub should be

very nice place to spend time on cup of beer

Great service, good selection of drinks. The food was lovely, pizzas were delicious, thank you.

Very friendly staff, great beer and fantastic food. What more do you need??! Highly recommended

Staff excellent, service good , food overpriced and minimal amount.They were pushing "curry night" only 1 option at 530pm ordered 4 ,came in a tin foil tray 10"x10"?with a small amount of salad and 3 tiny plastic dishes of dips,1 poppadum, a third of a...

Absolutely great! We were tired and hungry after visiting White Horse. A lovely lady welcomed us. They had food. The place is beautifully designed inside. Grapevines outside in front. Yes, really. Ignore big notice saying "lease for sale". Loved it.

Amazing pizza. Second time in a week it’s so nice. The staff are very friendly too 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
