The Crown in South Oxfordshire

We came out with family and were slightly disappointed. This is our 3rd visit over a period of time. New young staff. Not the friendly welcome we had before. Talking behind their hands which we found quite rude and one of the girls staff uniform left little to the imagination. Vibe definitely was not the same or the service. Food was ok. Very big menu to select from. Not sure if its too big. Roast was good last time we came on a sunday. Plenty of food! But we have had better.

Food was freshly made and stunning For a pub the food was better than many restaurants I had full English and was definitely full

Fantastic place Great food great service I couldn’t recommend it more - what a great British pub should be - top marks to them - Great outdoor space too ‘ can’t praise it enough

Booked in for lunch time pub meal very disappointed overpriced processed frozen cod and chips Cod minced processed and overcooked. I know pubs need to be cost effective but this was poor. Macorini cheese meal good but value for money poor...TV was so loud you could not hold a conversation ok if you wanted to hear the ROAR of the sports channel. We went there for a pub lunch. Would we go there again No.

My husband and I popped into this pub for a lunch and drink on our way to Warwickshire. The service could not have been better from the landlord to the delightful young lady who brought us our lunch. I had a bottle of wine with my delicious burger which I was taking with me and the landlord allowed me to keep the bag with ice in it to keep it cool. Not only was the bag a brilliant idea, I wasn't expecting his generosity. Thank you so much and, if we are ever in your neck of the woods again, we most definitely will be returning.

Went to the Crown on 18/3/23 for a family celebration of a 50th birthday, our party being 22 people in total. The whole event was amazing and enjoyed by us all, the food was excellent and considering we were 22 in total we had not had to pre order and could order anything from the extensive menu. There was another party in the restaurant with us also celebrating a 50th birthday and so there was a lovely atmosphere for the whole afternoon. Thank you to everyone at The Crown for making this special event for us such a great one, we will be using you again when we have another family celebration and would highly recommend.

Went for a meal just after the pub had been refurbished all I can say is avoid at all cost the food is stone cold tasteless and just generally horrible the man who was serving behind the bar was more interested in the sports on the tv instead of serving customers when he finally decided to serve he was rude and slammed glasses down on bare bare far the worst pub food I have eaten STAY CLEAR not family friendly

We arrived peak lunchtime and the restaurant was starting to fill up. I needed to work for the afternoon and they found me a seat near a plug socket. We are also vegan and although they had no vegan options on their menu, they discussed options with us and catered for us amazingly. We had two chip sandwiches, the bread was amazing and the chips were delicious! Staff were friendly too!

Popped in for a quick drink and decided to grab some food. Made to feel really awkward as we hadn’t reserved a table. Was told there would be a 30 minute wait which we accepted but it’s unacceptable to wait 30 minutes to say my order was no longer available. We were then told it would be another 30 minute wait. Asked for a refund and the landlord became quite aggressive. I didn’t complain but mentioned my glass was dirty, showed the landlord who didn’t comment and ignored me. So I showed him again, not sure if he heard me. All he said was, quite sternly, yes I can see. Tables were also filthy and sticky. But the worst thing was the rudeness from the landlord.
