The Crewe Arms in South Northamptonshire

We were a party of 5 for Sunday lunch. For once the weather was sunny so the pub was busy. All of our party ordered a roast lunch. I will comment on my meal. Having waited 1 hour the food arrived. My order of a full sized beef lunch was served on a plate so undersized that the food was stacked high. The beef was verging on grey in colour, dry over cooked, and tasteless - perhaps cooked sometime ago and frozen.The honey coated carrots were a nice touch but over cooked. The beans were also overcooked and with the carrots were under seasoned. The potatoes were fine. The red cabbage was a surprising addition but would have been much better if pickled. The Yorkshire pudding was fine but the gravy was thin and tasteless. The staff were excellent .Had my wife and I had not been with friends who live locally our meals would have been sent back. We like to support local pubs. Come on you can do better than this.

What a hidden gem this pub is. Just been for the first time and had the most delicious meal in a beautifully cared for traditional village pub. The landlord and staff were all very attentive and welcoming and we will certainly be returning to try some more of the menu very soon. We were only disappointed we were too full for dessert. Definitely a real find.

We were a party of 4 eating at 6pm - fantastic food, served in a timely way - hot & delicious!! All 4 of us enjoyed the food & dessert greatly - the waiter & waitress were very helpful explaining how one of the meals were served. Delicious place to eat - we will return!!

Turned up Monday night they had a BOGOFF on Fish & Chips and burgers, result . Ordered a couple of burgers very impressed with the quality of food and quantity neither of us could finish our food. Beer was great service was good absolutely no complaints Will be going back for Tapas in the near future

Absolutely amazing meal with our friends Food was delicious from starter to desert Fabulous starters …. Camembert and scotch egg …. Chicken burger …. Steak cooked to perfection …. And delicious deserts The only criticism we had that the portions was far toooooooo much 😜 We loved it that much we be returning soon with a party of 12

This is a lovely village pub - carefully repaired and decorated to keep and enhance its character. I was seated promptly on arrival, and felt very comfortable. There was not a huge amount of choice on the menu, and did not appear to be any specials. However, the meal that was available was cooked beautifully and was delicious. The crumble dessert in particular was excellent and tasty. The service was attentive but the waitress seemed to lack confidence and was a little flustered. This was a great pity as she had been very competent.

Found pub on trip advisor and arranged to meet some friends and wasn’t disappointed. Lovely characterful independent pub in a very pretty village. Service was with a smile, very friendly and helpful. Had lunch and food was great. In particular husband can recommend the chicken and leek pie. Would definitely recommend.

Disappointed with our recent visit here; my wife and I drove 40 minutes to dine here and enjoy the countryside views but we left feeling rather ripped off. Service was fine, plenty of good beers on tap although wine was expensive. I ordered fish and chips but found the batter to be soggy and under cooked; I left most of it. The chips were not seasoned. I would not hurry back anytime soon.

Went here with my friend, we ordered different meals and the presentation was great but the food itself was tasteless, no flavour which was a shame. My friends food was got in some places and cold in others (microwaved perhaps).

Really disappointed in my visit here recently with a few friends. The building is old and not well maintained. The food came out very quickly (microwaved?) and there was nothing inspiring or delicious about it, despite the menu making big promises. The pizza tasted like it had been reheated from a previous service, not nice. Would rather have stayed home and ordered Dominos to be fair. My friends commented on a lack of seasoning and finesse on their meals, everything felt slapdash and prepared with minimal effort. Finally, the pub itself has a very weird atmosphere. Dark, depressing and very little ambiance. Give this one a miss.

Random find (even though I live in a nearby village!) had not visited before. Really lovely cosy atmosphere, really nice man serving behind the bar and an absolutely wonderful vegetarian/vegan burger with carrot chutney, quality chips and onions/gherkins/vegterian and vegan cheese. When so many pubs are shut at the moment or lacking, this one really made up for it. Will definitely be back :)

What a superb pub!We received a very friendly welcome and seated immediately. No sense of crowding so could relax and enjoy our drinks and food. The landlord and staff appeared to be enjoying their time as much as the customers. The atmosphere was fantastic, with locals enjoying their evening alongside the non locals. A good selection of beers and very reasonably priced pub grub. A very enjoyable evening, I just wish there were more proper pubs like this nearer to home!

We visited on a saturday evening as a table of ten for my mums birthday. Everyone was pleasantly surprised, the lady serving us was wonderfully charming, attentive and good fun. I had the patatas bravas, warm kabbouleh salad and apple, pear and pecan crumble with ice cream. All adapted to suit vegans, something which is sometimes a bit lacking in other venues.The setting itself is very cosy with candles, flowers, soft furnishings and a friendly welcome.I shall return without a shadow of a doubt, mainly as I need to try the vegan sticky toffee pudding and the lemon and blueberry posset. Oh and they do their own ipa which is wonderfully fruity! Try them, it's worth a visit.

We came on Saturday evening as a table of 10 family members.

Sadly we weren’t made to feel very welcome, staff weren’t very attentive, and at points on the verge of rude, the food was average and one meal didn’t arrival until everybody had eaten, Starters were burnt steak was overcooked, sadly a disappointing visit and probably won’t return which is a shame.

We visited this afternoon for the first time since moving to Brackley with some friends that was visiting and went for the Sunday roasts. They have a great variety of food on the menu and the service is absolutely fantastic. The owners are so welcoming and you get the feeling of a real family orientated pub and that was confirmed as they were also so welcoming of our 4 year old daughter. Can't wait to return already. Great little gem.

The Crewe Arms is a lovely country pub, not far from Brackley. We have been a number of times in the past, but this was our first time under this management. The service and food were excellent, both the ladies who served us were warm and friendly. It was a busy evening with Christmas parties, but we didn't feel any less attended to as a party of four. They have a fantastic menu for vegetarians and vegans, there are lots of options, quite different to any other pub. Most of the starters are tapas style, so you could order to share. I had Zucchini fritters which were very light and tasty, followed by the warm Kabbouleh salad with spicy halloumi, which was full of different flavours. I didn't have a dessert, but two of the party did and they said they were delicious (and all are suitable for vegetarians). I would strongly recommend this to meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans alike. The prices are very reasonable for such well prepared and presented food. We will be back!

Eight of us attended the Crewe Arms Hinton on the Hedges today Sunday 22 December 2019 for a family get together. Two roast pork belly dinners were part of our order. One was adequate the other was just fat no meat and not at all crispy or appetising. The accompanying bowl of vegetables were over cooked, soggy and had already been salted. When we were asked how everything was by the only male member of staff (I assume he is the landlord / manager) we replied that the pork was just a lump of fat without any meat, the vegetables were soggy, his reply was, what do you expect when you order pork belly. My description of a pork belly Sunday roast is “a beautiful soft meaty flesh with crispy crackling skin. This was not the case here. He dismissed our criticism with arrogance and self importance. The lady that had served us the meal was attentive however that’s was her only input. It is such a quaint place and probably could be a very nice place to frequent. Our advise is that the place gets rid of this arrogant male side kick. The total bill was over £160.00, although we live local we are not regulars and to be honest we will not be back soon. It was not value for money and we certainly would not recommend this place to anyone. .

We were a couple in a party for the Christmas Menu. The pub itself and the staff were good but the food was very disappointing."Chilli king prawns in a cocktail sauce" came on what was described as bruschetta but looked more like a toasted half bap, which was very hard and was completely unneccessary. Then we had the Champagne sorbet which, I guess, is supposed to lift the menu to a new level. However it did just the opposite because it was cloyingly sweet. Served as a dessert it would have been OK but a mid course sorbet is supposed to clear the palate, not destroy it.The braised brisket of beef was next - the meat itself was OK but came with a brown gravy covering everything including the vegetables. This was described as a "shallot and red wine jus". It's very pretentious to describe a brown gravy as a jus.The Christmas pudding with brandy custard sauce was OK, but came with a very tart red sauce (cranberry?) and a decoration of a strawberry and blueberries - again completely unnecessary because it spoiled the pudding.It seems that the main emphasis is on quantity rather than quality - many of our party remarked that there was too much on the plate, especially on the main courses.Of course we were asked "is everything OK" and we didn't comment, because you don't want to upset the person who arranged the party.

The only pub within miles of Brackley who have a menu that includes great vegetarian food as well as vegan. It’s slightly off the beaten track but thoroughly worth a visit

From the moment we walked in on a very busy Monday night (quiz night), we were made so welcome. Neither of us live locally and usually meet somewhere in the middle of our respective towns, this was a great find! It was a cold, wet, extremely miserable night but we were both so glad we'd made the effort and driven the 50 minutes or so to The Crewe Arms.The food was delicious - I had the vegan aubergine tofu curry and my friend had the chicken version, we both agreed it was lovely. I would have liked to try a dessert and next time I will - there were several vegan choices and all sounded extremely tempting.The quiz was great fun, the ambience was fab and I cannot recommend The Crewe Arms enough. If you're driving on the motorway, it's definitely worth a detour.So glad we found this pub and its welcoming hosts, we will definitely be back - and probably on quiz night again.Thank you for such a great night!

We live locally and have popped in a couple of times for drinks. Today we had a bit more time and no children so decided on lunch and so happy we did! Not only do they serve a lovely pint in a great quint essential English county pub but their menu is superb. Plenty of choice and all looked great, I went for the red Thai curry (and chose monk fish) my husband had the battered halloumi and chips. Both were sensational, cooked to perfection, fresh and beautifully presented. Can’t wait to go back!

2 of our party has the Pork Belly and the other 2 has the Sunday beef top side. Both dishes were delicious and extremely tasty. The staff were extremely friendly and our compliments to the chef. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious. Keep up the high standards will definitely be back again...

Had a couple of meals here while staying at a local b&b in the village. Had pasta one night, then sirloin steak the second night. The pasta dish was one of the best pasta dishes I have had in a long time, and the steak dish was equally as nice. The beer and wine were spot on too. The staff were also very friendly and attentive. Try it you won't be disappointed.

Last minute telephone call to check availability for Sunday lunch. Not a problem, we were made most welcome upon our arrival, 4 adults plus dog seated in the beautifully furnished bar area. Excellent menu choices, good service plus superb food. Even dog treats, dog bed and water bowl available for our 'furry friend'. Everywhere looked clean and well maintained to a high standard. A credit to the owners and/or staff. Thank you, wish we lived nearer but will make a point of visiting again!

Goof food, great welcome, great service and friendly, welcoming staff, this pub has it all. Lovely rustic village pub that welcomes you from the minute you walk in. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff - they even responded to the zany request from my American cousin for chocolate sauce in her Cola! Brilliant!! Really recommend this pub if you are in the area.

We had called in here for a drink in the past, but on this occasion we visited with some friends for an evening meal. The pub is made up of a number of separate rooms. The service was excellent and the prices represented good value for money. I had the garlic prawns as a starter and they were delicious. My main course was sirloin steak which was served with mushrooms and chips.

We had Sunday lunch here last weekend, and I would heartily recommend it.

Went for dinner and staff and good were good, very helpful waitress after we made a small complaint, but all sorted with the minimum of fusd and bother. Definitely worth another visit in the near future.

My partner and I have now been here on a few occasions and each time it's been so wonderful from the service and ambiance right through to the food- I couldn't not leave a review! We are both vegan and each time we've visited we've been blown away at the array and quality of the options on offer to us, our favorites are the Kabbouleh salad, the thai red chickpea curry and the vegan burger- all are outstanding. Very reasonably priced and great hearty portions too, it's so nice to see a fairly rural pub offering such great plant based options of this standard. We're always met by such warm staff who are really attentive which just makes the whole experience such a pleasure, I have no doubt that we will be returning soon!

Just wanted to let you know what a lovely time we had visiting The Crewe Arms last Sunday. All four of us had roasts ( beef was the favourite ) and unusually all four of us highly rated our meals .. kids can be a bit fussy at times! It was great to chat to you Neil & share stories about our respective dogs. We are not local to the pub as we said but I can assure you that if we are in the area, we will make a point of coming to your pub again.

Popped in for Sunday lunch, excellent service, lovely food, lovely setting. Managers and staff very helpful and clearly care about what the provide.

All four had to be sent back. Either under cooked or lack of or under cooked. All had different meals. Won’t be back

Pleasant ambience, warm welcome and good beer, all a recipe for a successful pub. Our visit was only marred by a substandard roast lunch which, at £13.50 per head was a shame.

Visited the Crewe Arms with friends and 4 dogs and received a very warm welcome. Food was fantastic and portions generous. We will return and would definitely recommend.

Fairly regular visitor at The Crewe but don’t often review as such. First time for the recently introduced Tapas evening on the third Thursday each month (I think). We were promised proper Spanish Tapas but I was a bit sceptical.

This place is a hidden gem. We booked last minute but welcomed warmly and treated to the best Sunday lunch we’ve had in a long time. Perfectly cooked beef with all the trimmings. Can’t wait to go back!

Having visited the Crew Arms previously for Sunday lunch, Valentines meal and family meals in general, we asked If it would possible for them to host a night of cheese for seven people.

Went for Saturday lunch, it was good food and wine plus a very helpful landlord. The pub has suffered in the past from poor managers but now the owner is running the day to day its looking good.

Great service, great beer and great food. Lovely on a summers day and warm and cosy on a winters night. We love coming here, the service is always welcoming, with a smile and can’t do enough for you. The food is superb, being vegan and finding a pub with a menu that caters for us is ideal.

We went here for Sunday lunch as a birthday celebration. The food and portion sizes were brilliant and we were welcomed by lovely staff. As two of our party were vegan, they were delighted to see such a wide range of options for them to eat and the atmosphere felt welcoming and non- judgmental. Nearly all of the delicious desserts were also vegan, with alternatives to ice-cream and custard!

A quick outing for an evening meal, baked Camembert followed by a perfectly presented steak.... What's not to like? Fully recommend this restaurant....

First time at this hotel really enjoyed my stay.excellent food had the ale pie toight.Top notch staff,really good communication with guests special thanks to Alex,Jammie and Emma.

The staff at the pub are so welcoming and the atmosphere is really friendly.

Best Sunday lunch I've had in years. Good vegetarian options as well as traditional. I had nut roast, rest of family had traditional roasts. All agreed best we've had in a long time. Very friendly welcoming staff as well

Thank you for the coffee. That was a pleasure to spend the morning in that lovely place. All the best for the owners.

We've been offered a coffee despite the pub wasn't even open. Thank you very much, we will be back for sure.

Fantastic Tapas night with our friends, Neil and Gail were as per usual wonderful host. Tapas choice was great something for everyone and the portion sizes where very generous ( great if you have a hearty appetite) and it tasted amazing, can not say enough great things about the food, go try it. We will be back at the end of February for the next Tapas xxx

what a wonderful lovely night with friends, amazing food and great portions and good value. A lovely country pub with a very warm welcome from Neil and Gail who are great hosts. The selection of food on the Tapas menu was excellent, the quality of the food was superb, the best Tapas i've had, will be there again at the end of Feb for the next Tapas night.

We stayed in Hinton in the Hedges for 3 nights and ate at the Crewe Arms 2 nights out of 3. It would have been 3 out of 3 had they been serving food on a Sunday evening... Alas, we had to forgoe Sunday lunch due to a prior commitment! We found the owners friendly and helpful, the ambience welcoming and the food excellent. They also had a nice selection of gins on offer as well. If we are ever in the area again we will be back!

Cosy pub with equally warm welcome and attentive service with delicious food and very good value. The hearty Sunday roast came with a good selection of vegetables including swede, kale & cauliflower cheese . Our only comment was that the very generous portion was so huge it was a rather unattractive mound on the plate so presentation was compromised. We needed an extra plate in order to cope with the sheer quantity. Smaller portions or having the vegetables separately on the side would rectify this.

Just had a wonderful Sunday roast lunch at the Crewe Arms. Food was excellent, service was superb and atmosphere was welcoming. They treat you right at this pub, all the little details are attended to and everything on the plate looks and tastes amazing. Can’t recommend it enough. This is not the first time we’ve dined here, though we aren’t regulars. Must change that, as a pub this good so close to home deserves regular visits. Thanks, Crewe Arms!

Went to the Crewe Arms on December 27th with a couple of friends for their Tapas night. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was friendly, helpful and attentive. I'm vegetarian and my friends eat meat so was a perfect mix of both. Felt very homely and looked after all night. Would definitely recommend to friends and family

Went for my birthday in December and hubby had the whitebait which was lovely and crispy, I had pate which was good. for mains we both had the salmon which was perfection. The pub may be a little bit out of the way in Hinton in the Hedges but a full car park on a Thursday night was testament to the popularity of this country restaurant and it is well worth a visit, prices were reasonable too!.

We ate at the Crewe today and had a very enjoyable experience, clearly very busy with many walk in customers for Sunday lunch but unflappable and welcoming as always it was a nice lunch. Will definitely come back.

After a long day of travelling, we arrived at this pub to have diner. Our host of the B&B; Two Hoots recommended this pub. We had a lovely diner at the Crewe Arms!

Popped out for a drink and was tempted with the menu, decided on the minute steak which was delicious, cooked perfectly and very tasty. Warm welcome and very cosy with the fire lit, perfect for a chilly autumn night. I'm sure we'll go back again soon.

I've eaten in The Crewe Arms a number of times recently (past 2-4 weeks) and the food has been delicious! The Tapas night was amazing, so much choice & excellent value, definitely recommend the future Tapas evenings.

Having been diverted from their sister pub I was not dissapointed with the quality and service we received during their busy period. The steaks we had were fantastic and came out in no little time at all considering how busy the restaurant appeared to be. Lisa the lady serving was a breath of fresh air, we look forward to revisiting this unspoilt country establishment

We made a lunchtime booking at their sister hotel The Fox at Farthinghoe but owing to a problem there our booking (four adults, two children) was transferred to the Crewe Arms, no problem as the distance was similar. Unfortunately we weren’t made to feel very welcome, the waitress who was the only person we dealt with was not very welcoming, not very friendly and to be honest we felt like we were a bit of an inconvenience to her. We may well have been, it could be that they weren’t expecting any food orders and then we turned up with our transferred booking... Anyway, having made it clear that they don’t usually cater for young children (as their locals don’t have children) she made us feel a bit uncomfortable and like she was doing us a favour. I think it’s one of those pubs where if you’re not a local or from the village you’re tolerated but not welcomed. It’s a shame as it’s a lovely, ancient pub with lots of history, and the food to be fair was very nice. Pity about the welcome, but we won’t be returning.

I decided to try out the Crewe since I hadn't visited for many yrs and live locally.

After hearing lots of good things about this place we booked in for Sunday lunch. 4 of us went for roasts and to be honest it really was nothing to write home about. The crackling was just fat and cold to boot. Roast potatoes slightly burnt and parsnips under done. The pork was good nice and moist and cauliflower cheese was good too. Most disappointed by the Yorkshire puddings as these are my favourite part of a roast but thesethese were flat and rubbery. At 12 a roast its not the cheapest and Sad because it would be good to find somewhere local that excels. The service saved the visit as the girl was great

Having read the recent rave reviews, we were looking forward to great things, but instead had a disappointing evening meal.

Staying near here for Silverstone & this place was recommended & we weren't disappointed, the whole evening was excellent, the atmosphere for a small country pub was very welcoming. The food was fantastic, hot, well cooked & superbly served, we weren't rushed & the staff made time for a quick chat about why we were there. We would highly recommend this place.

Not been to this little gem before and I can assure you it definitely won’t be the last. Very friendly staff, lovely location, nice beer garden, plenty of parking and the food was very nice, not what I expected from a little local pub.

Always offer good quality with a fish night every Wednesday .very freindly staff and good quality drinks are offered

Amazing food, good beers, lovely location. Very friendly helpful staff :-) nice beer garden,, well worth a visit,, and nice for romantic meals for 2,, :-)

Went to crew arms tonight as a party of 15 food and service was excellent not to expensive my only criticism is don’t smear tarter sauce all over plate with the fish not everyone likes it

Have just eaten from the new lunch menu and it was mouth watering delicious. Looking forward to some of the lunch options making their way onto the evening menu!

Met friends for lunch yesterday and all thoroughly enjoyed our meals (sausage sandwich, fish cake & asparagus and feta hash) in the garden thanks to the amazing weather we're having!

I took an elderly Aunt out for Lunch on Bank Holiday Monday. The staff were very busy (lunch was very popular!) however they were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing - best fish and chips I've had in a long time. I would most certainly recommend it - and its very reasonably priced.

I booked a table at the Crewe Arms having not been for many years as a treat for my mum. Our starters were delicious we had the smoked haddock fishcake and beetroot and goats cheese salad. Sadly the main courses were disappointing roast potatoes cold, the beef chewy and the cauliflower cheese lacking sauce or flavour, the fish and chips my son had however were delicious, onto desert we had the sticky toffee pudding for my son again lovely and 2 x Raspberry creme brulee sadly these were hard pastry cases with runny custard inside with one raspberry and strawberries we had to leave those. It may have been because it was so busy... the staff were lovely but a little too stretched as no-one asked how our meal was whilst we had it the only opportunity to give feedback was when we paid otherwise we may have been able to rectify cold items etc.. lovely ambience and staff but stick to the fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding to enjoy your meal.

Had not visited The Crewe Arms for some years but wanting to find somewhere local to have lunch with visiting friends, and liking the partner pub, The Fox, we decided to give it a go.

I've written a review of The Crewe before but worth an update.

We stayed at the Crewe Arms for the weekend, meeting up with friends for the weekend. The pub has a lovely welcoming feel to it. We ate in one night and all enjoyed our food. The staff made us feel so welcome and a special mention to Alex who, on the last morning of our stay ran the four miles from their other pub, specially to cook us our breakfast when his colleague called in sick. Delicious breakfast and friendly chat. Thank you. Jenny and Maurice

We were a party of four. The quality of each of our meals (all different) was excellent. Service was friendly and attentive. Beers were well kept and served to the table. Those with enough room for desert commented that they were to die for. This place is great value for money, and we will most certainly return.

Went here for an evening meal with some friends. We were. Shown our table and given menus but then had to wait a considerable amount of time before our order was taken. I had the beer battered cod and chips which was amazing the only down side was I had to wait a long time to actually get the garden peas. My friend had the rib eye which he really enjoyed. Overall it was a lovely meal in lovely surroundings

Lovely place I have eaten at before with lovely friendly staff but pretty disappointed with my meal last Sunday. I had “slow roast” pork belly. It was obviously not slow roasted, tough as old boots, fat was hard. Not nice. Came with boiled carrots and boiled parsnips. No greens. Two non crispy roasts and a sad looking yorkshire pudding. Really didn’t enjoy it. There was a very large booking in and it was very busy which may have been to blame. My husband fish and chips looked amazing though, my daughter wolfed down her chicken and my dads beef looked lush but I certainly wouldn’t order a roast here again. Fish and chips yes.

On a very cold night, the pub was welcoming but you couldn’t call it cosy. The food erred on well presented but was lacking in flavour. Spicy cauliflower soup had no taste of cauliflower and a chilli was bland and tasteless. Service was friendly. Second time here but disappointed.

This pub is on our rota of pubs to visit for a pub lunch Friday at work and they never disappoint. Sandwiches and chunky, tasty and satisfying and their chips and sweet potato fries are among the best. Very good organisation as we go as a large group and never disappoint. Would recommend to anyone as a great pub with great food and a good range of drink available too with good beers on tap and am extensive top shelf.

Our group of 12 ladies enjoyed excellent food politely and promptly served in a room dedicated to ourselves. I must commend the attentive service of the staff and the tasty, freshly prepared food from their Christmas menu. Value for money was spot on. We had no complaints and left feeling suitably full and fully satisfied with the experience. No hesitation in recommending The Crewe Arms.

Used to love it. Now they have to advertise. Brunch is cool on Saturdays. Avoid white van hour most early evenings.

We visited The Crewe Arms for the new brunch they have started doing between 11am-1pm on Saturdays and so glad we did.

Absolutely delicious, excellent value.

We went for a new service of Brunch after seeing that they were offering this for such a fantastic price and we were not disappointed.

A Lovely one stay at this very quaint country pub.

As a visitor from Seychelles I was delighted and astonished to find Red Snapper as a special on the menu. I was even more

I am a local and eat here weekly, the red snapper special tonight was 10 out of 10. Amazing meal, Thank you Rob.

Enjoyed roast beef and all the trimmings. Good servings, hot and tasty. And great service, too! I wish, though, that like most restaurants, the waiters would be equipped with the list of ice creams on offer so they don't have to go away and check when asked!

On the spur visit to this local pub. Lovely tasty roast beef and Belly pork for the hubby! Fresh veg and my fave cauliflour cheese. Too full for a pudding but other people seemed to be enjoying. Would have loved to have stayed for a coffee and brandy round the fire but I was driving! Will def return. Great service too! Thanks girls.

Full English breakfast booked but not available. Laughable 'breakfast tray' left on a chair outside the room the night before - including two pots of jam but no bread! First night this 'breakfast tray' was provided for one although there were two of us staying. Tiny room. Nobody in reception in the morning except on last day, so nobody available to contact re issues. Promised wifi not delivered. Promised hairdryer not available. No mattress cover on bed. Thin sheets - mattress visible through the sheet. Bed not made on first day. Sink emptying very slowly. Bedside tables worn out and should be replaced. Please note that we didn't eat here or use the bar - we were attending the Cropredy Music Festival nearby (as were most if not all the other guests) so we arrived each night (except arrival day) after the pub had closed and left before it opened. Fortunately on the last day the manager was there at 9am - she told us she had come in to do the cleaning herself as she was not happy with the usual standard.

Stayed here last year and really enjoyed. Stayed end of July and the room and pub were the same but the breakfast standards have dropped. Lovely cooked breakfast replaced by a cold tray delivered to room night before.

Came for a meal with friends. The starters were sublime - I had the mushroom ratatouille which was delicious, and hubby had fish cake which was enormous and he enjoyed every mouthful. The mains were disappointing in comparison. We both had the ribs which were really tender but the sauce was not very nice. It was overpoweringly sweet with a strong taste of cinnamon (weird) and vinegar. The sweet potato fries were a little too 'al dente' for me too. It was almost as if the two courses were cooked by two completely different people, even the presentation was different. However, that said, the food is very reasonably priced and our friends enjoyed their mains.The pub itself is welcoming and cosy, with modern country decor and a nice atmosphere.

This was not our first visit and we were delighted with both food and service. Three of our party chose the fish pie and I had Chilli, the mananger came over to apologise for the delay not that we had noticed tucking into our excellent wine he explained that everything is cooked to order we were not in a hurry and only to pleased to hear that all meals were prepared with fresh ingredients. well the fish pie was stunning as was the chilli well worth the wait. Only two of us had room for pudding I chose sticky toffee pudding the best that I have ever eaten and I have had a few. Can't find anything negative about this restaurant and cant wait to go back

Great meal and friendly service. The desserts were to die for! Such a beautiful village too. We were so tired after a full day of sightseeing....we were happy they were still serving and we really enjoyed our meal. Hope to come back again on our next trip to England!

Great pub and restaurant. Been loads of times with family and friends. Highly recommend it. Good parking really friendly staff.

A party of 8 of us went to this Restaurant for Sunday lunch a couple of days' ago. What a fabulous experience. The service was leisurely without being slow and delivered with great humour and efficiency by our waitress, Charlie.The food was as good as I have eaten anywhere and nothing was too much trouble. Reviewing the dessert menu, when we asked what the ice cream selection was, one of our party jokingly groaned that there wasn't any rum and raisin. Without batting an eyelid, Charlie offered her a scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with raisins and a shot of rum. This brought the house down and resulted in 6 rum and raisin ice creams 'a la bar' being ordered. Just wish this place was closer because we would be there all the time.

We had not been there for a while and decided to go for Sunday , as when we had been before it was beautiful, I had slow roasted belly pork it was beautiful.We arrived and noticed it had changed hands, but the place still felt warm and cosy. We ordered lunch and sat down,we had been sat down for 45 minutes when the food arrived. The plates were cold then 5 minutes later the vegetables arrived.The food was just dreadful two slices of fatty lamb and my beef was curled up like shoe leather it was horrible.My husband never complains but he did this time we were not charged but went home Hungary and very disappointed.

If you stay over, the breakfast is freshly prepared exactly how you want it. Very impressed with the attention to detail. Have eaten in the evening also and on each occasion it's been delicious. Would highly recommend. Much much better than pub food served by a chain. Service is spot on and a lovely atmosphere in the bar.

We visited here today for lunch. The welcome was lovely and warm. The ibside of the pub was delightful. We ordered gammon steaks and burgers and none of us were disappointed with our meals. Absolutely deicious. Best burger I have eaten in a while. A real gem tucked away in Sparrows Corner, Hinton in the Hedges. Would unreservedly recommend this to al.
