The Eagle Tavern at Little Coxwell in Vale of White Horse

Great Sunday roast and very baby friendly. We stopped here by chance for lunch after visiting Gow's farm and were impressed by the quality of the food and the 'can do' attitude of the waiting staff when faced with two babies.

Such great food and service in a wonderful atmosphere. A nice play to stay for a night too.

A wonderful example or fine dining in a cosy country pub setting, with a roaring fire to match. The staff are w attentive but not invasive. Affordable for a real treat. We will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family.

Unreal food!! Starter, main and dessert all absolutely delicious, can’t recommend enough, thank you so much

Very nice and clean pub in Faringdon. Good food great service 💗

Wonderful little country pub set in a quiet little village. The only negative I can give for the pub is the lack of parking available. The food is very good and simply delicious with a very generous menu available, booking is best advised as the pub is very busy during its opening hours. Open fire, great selection of wines and beers. I haven't stayed in the rooms yet but I will do soon

A meal for the family to have a catch up resulted in us all going to The Eagle. The service was friendly and we received great advice on the choices. Beautifully presented . My only wish - that there was more choice for the vegans. Friendly and small areas to dine.

As a family of 11 we visited the pub and had a wonderful time. The food and service were excellent. Thank you so much for accommodating us!

Very nice, the BEST gratin dauphinoise I've had for a very long time. Ace. Very nice duck dish, cooked well. I didn't need a pudding but when it came it was big!! And I ate it all, so what can I say, I recommend it too.

Went for Sunday roast. Tired interior, and very expensive for fairly bland average food. Had the feeling that it was once a fine dining and classy establishment, but that standard long gone. Good service.

Out of this world food ! Best meal I have had in years.

What an amazing meal we have just enjoyed. We had Lamb and steak, cooked to perfection. Vegetables and potatoes were delicious. Pudding to die for. Definitely recommend for outstanding meal. Price was good too.

Wonderful find, comfy beds and clean rooms the food was absolutely excellent highly recommend the slovakian inspired specials especially the blue cheese brulee. Staff were professional, knowledgeable and very friendly, really lovely atmosphere.

Nice friendly staff, nice food but fairly expensive. Yes its good food but we've had better for less. This place is definitely not about a cheap meal though. Its a nice place where you probably should put some smart togs on, and go mix with the wealthy locals. Portions arent huge, but thats absolutely fine for me. All in all a very pleasant experience.

Chambre très jolie, propre à souhait. Ambiance de cottage dans la campagne anglaise, sans imperfection. Le menu proposé est excellent, composé de mets frais, digne d’un grand restaurant! Je recommande sans aucune hésitation et y retournerai!

The food was superb, service excellent and attention to our food allergies flawless. Thank you Marek! The decor is simple and relaxed and we liked the space between tables.

Booked last minute for stay in the hotel was such a lovely welcoming warm environment and the staff couldn’t have been nicer . Beautiful room and quiet stay

Ein warmes Ambiente begrüßt einen. Der Kamin flackert und der Gastgeber empfängt einen, als ob man hier schon immer Gast ist. Einen schöneren Ort hätten wir uns nicht für unseren Hochzeitstag aussuchen können. Herausragend ist natürlich die Blue brulee mit ihren toll angestimmten Aromen von zartem Blauschimmelkäse und fruchtigem Apfel gekrönt von Walnusscrunch. Unser Dessertfavorit war Makos Dios. Überraschend für uns:warm und voll Mohnflavor …mit dem Eis und den Kirschen- ein Gedicht. Fazit: wir müssen wieder kommen. Ein perfekter Abend. Vielen Dank!

One of our favourite places for dinner. The Eagle Tavern did not disappoint. We went there for our anniversary and it was perfect. Warmly welcomed by the publican and served a delicious meal with wine.

Great experience and such a lovely rare find. Food was superb and the service very attentive. We will certainly be visiting on a regular basis.

great service lovely atmosphere and a nice decor very very I nice food I hope you all enjoy as much as we did

We booked lunch on Mother’s Day and we had one of the best Sunday lunches that I can remember. The food is fantastic quality, with great presentation and decent size portions. There were some really interesting options for starters, including a ‘Blue Brulee’ (a savoury take on crème brulee, made with Oxford Blue cheese) and delicious Langos ( described as a sourdough doughnut, not something I had tried before) served with a lovely light & fresh whipped feta cheese. The roast dinners were excellent – meat cooked to perfection and with a nice selection of well-cooked vegetables. We hardly had room for dessert, but we managed to share a couple of dserts between the four of us (including a delightful ‘Textures of Chocolate’). The atmosphere was really nice and relaxed, with great, friendly service. Thoroughly recommended.

A very enjoyable family meal was had here. Well prepared dishes, great beer and decent wine list all contributed to a most agreeable evening.

Here for a little over a week on business trip. I’m currently on day 3 and I can say without a doubt that this is the best food I have eaten since arriving in England. Prior to this, was my food on the airplane, what game changer. To start, it has great curb appeal and the ambiance inside is amazing. Great place to take friends, a date or a casual business dinner with colleagues. Now for the food. I had the Lamb and ordered bread for the table. The lamb was cooked perfect, you can tell the chef takes pride in his craft. Broccolini was delicious and the DAUPHINOISE POTATOES were the perfect pairing for the lamb. Overall easily in the top 3 lamb dishes I have ever had. This is a close contender with the well known rack of lamb from The Blue Lion located in Jackson hole Wyoming. Made it a priority to write this review because this place has single handedly made my trip to England. Forgot to get names but thank you to the staff there at eagle tavern and compliments to the chef.

Amazing food - the crème brûlée is highly recommended. Friendly service and lovely restaurant. Will definitely return! Recommend booking on Sundays - very busy.

If I could, I'd give it ten stars! The food was hygienic and tasty and tidy, and I couldn't ask for more. I recommend having the steak (main) salmon (starter) and the cheesecake (dessert). ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

This is a genuine Restaurant with Rooms. We stayed for 2 days mid-week in mid-September. Little Coxwell is a very small village. The Church and the Eagle are the two main buildings there. The food is excellent. The menu is small, around 5 mains, all dishes home made and no burgers in sight. We had lamb one evening and plaice the next. Both were absolutely delicious. The restaurant was surprisingly busy for mid-week . Our room was spacious and we slept well. Breakfast is either Full English or Continental. Go for the Continental - you will be amazed by what you are offered. Service is faultless . All in all a great find.

Amazing food and service. We visited for a meal with family, what a find! We loved this place, will definitely go back again. The food was high quality all 4 of us enjoyed our 3 courses. The service was friendly and efficient.

We took friends this evening. It’s so lovely to have such good food and service on our doorstep. In our experience The Eagle is so dependable. In one word. Faultless. And in two words. Without pretension. Just the ticket so far as we are concerned.

Just delicious food and excellent service. Lamb and beef cooked to perfect pinkness. Chosen because of its midpoint location and an excellent choice. Thanks for fitting us in!

It’s not only the wonderful flavours, but the Eagle Tavern combines them with beautiful variety of complementary textures. Can there be any better food for these prices? I’ve not come across one that even comes near it. Brilliant!

Our second visit to the Eagle and an exceptional meal. All 3 courses (Soup, Chicken and Fondant) were fantastic. Flavoursome, quality produce and well presented. Enjoyed every mouthful. Excellent service and reasonably priced for the quality of the meal.

Excellent food and comfortable rooms and the staff were very helpful and ensured our stay was as comfortable as possible. Although there was no car park we were able to park right outside the hotel. We would be happy to stay there again.

Had such a lovely meal here this evening! Our waiter was amazing and gave us great recommendations. A perfect evening.

We recently dined at The Eagle, and we are so pleased that it has retained its charm and exquisite food despite all the challenges that 2020 has thrown at everyone. The service was personal and attentive and the food/wine were outstanding. The room was beautifully decorated for Christmas and we had the most wonderful evening; we will definitely be back!

We have dined here a few times and we have never been dissapointed. The food is always very good and the service is impeccable. Looking forward to visiting again.

Been here a few times over the years and this visit was one of the best. Delicious food beautifully presented and had a very nice bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc (Turning Heads) to go with it. Everyone was well spaced out and a pleasant, friendly atmosphere.

Nice food, reasonably priced. Good efficient & friendly service. Customer sanitiser just inside door (but not compulsory !). No masks worn. Service a little too close (leaning over table). Sitting next to the front door (for in and out) meant new customers standing next to you at bar when waiting to be seated. A little off putting.But nice food.

Having a few days away in the cotswolds and found this place on the internet..Really organised re the covid rules.. lots of hand wash and had to leave our details on a website accessed via a qr code..Quite "cheffie" food and portions rather than traditional pub grub.. starters pate and a blue cheese savoury brulee.. mains venison with berries and a thick sauce and a chicken breast with mushrooms and tarragon.. only comment was the mash potato with the chicken a little more liquid than we like but otherwise everything really nice..Service great and felt like a treat rather than just grabbing dinner..For a bottle of house wine, 2 diet cokes, 2 starters 2 mains and a pudding to share total cost was about £75 ..Good value for food and service of this quality.. reccomend

I'm a foodie...I have high expectations and the Eagle Tavern exceeded them. As part of my job, I eat at some of the best restaurants in cities around the world and my meal at the Eagle Tavern was up there with the best of them. To top it all, the service and the atmosphere were perfect. I wouldn't change a thing! Thanks for a wonderful evening.

Cap parking is an issue within this hamlet, lucky this was a quiet evening. A table for 4 was booked in advance as usual and meals ordered. The evening started well the company is good then a dog started barking I like well behaved quiet dogs that can be seen and not heard.This spoilt a family celebration in future will be selecting a different venue.

Totally exceeded expectations. Delicious Dinner. Clean Tidy & comfortable room. Really quiet location Great Team 10/10👍

The Eagle have been very ingenious by offering a takeaway service, which is every bit as good as you would get in the restaurant. It is amazing value and, if you haven't tried it, get out there now!

In late February 202, we ate at the Eagle Tavern after a day's walking around the Cotswolds. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and ambience. There were 6 of us and we stumbled across this little restaurant as most places in Faringdon were either completely full or closed, which then turned out to our advantage.This was a delight, with locally sourced food and interesting dishes. All served by a welcoming and professional waiter. We felt for the quality of food, it was priced reasonably. We recommend this restaurant.

We arrived early for dinner but the waiter was very accommodating and after serving our party drinks, informed us that the chef was able to open the kitchen early. As a family party of six, we very much enjoyed the quality of the food and the waiter's attentive service. One of the group was celebrating a birthday and he brought a complimentary Bailey's, a lovely ending to a great meal.

Hadn’t been in The Eagle for a while....no reason ...as beer and food had always been very good.So returned on a bitterly cold Saturday night....The pub was warm, welcoming, cosy and very tastefully decorated ....and featured two open roaring fires. A lovely reserved corner table by the fire was idyllic for a winters evening.Menus quickly received.....and we “poured” over the tasty courses on offer.Every dish listed, featured local produce and sounded truly delicious.We plumped for the Oxford Blue starter and Chalkdowns lamb main.....both incredible value and SO beautifully presented .....and both simply fantastic....delicious...tasty tasty tasty....We shared a lovely cheese and biscuit plate that was also interesting plentiful and delicious....and enhanced by a couple of glasses of a divine port.... !!!It was a lovely evening.....and we can’t wait to cross the A420 again very very soon.Excellent service and thankyou to the unseen team for providing a fabulous dining experience.We’ll be back .......very soon ....!!!

We took my dad and stepmum to the Eagle Tavern for lunch - we all thoroughly enjoyed it! The food was lovely, the Oxford blue creme brûlée a particular favourite and the service was excellent. A real gem of a place, we’ll definitely be back.

Ate here with my wife, new born and grandparents. As we had a pram we were accommodated with a bit of room which was no trouble. The service was very good. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout. The food was amazing. I tried a couple of the specials which I can recommend. The starter was a little different but I enjoyed it. We have eaten here before and will be back.

Really nice Sunday lunch! Friendly service and a good menu - some classics and some more unusual but delicious options too!

Best Sunday lunch ever. Loved the Oxford Blue brulee starter. Delicious roasts and desserts. A real gem.

Just an amazing experience, beautiful food and wonderful service. The food is Michelin star standard and very reasonable for the quality! My family had the lamb and I had the chicken, both dishes of divine, for sweets we had; strudel, cheesecake and creme brûlée all beautiful. A fantastic evening- the eagle tavern is a hidden jewel!

We were pleased to be offered a sensibly short menu that focussed on seasonal menu. We both had the potted rabbit with pickled cauliflower and mushroom, and toasted sourdough bread. for main course we thoroughly enjoyed a generous, chunky fish stew, and medium rare venison haunch and ragout- the accompanying seasonal veg: Jerusalem artichoke, cauliflower, cabbage and potato mash were skilfully cooked. The plated were wiped clean with more excellent bread. A shared generous plate of English cheeses followed. We are regulars at the Walnut Tree at Skenfrith, the The Poulett Arms at Hinton St George - today’s meal matched them for great tasty food, but beaut them with at a very fair price.. Thank you to The Eagle Tavern chef and front-of-house staff. Wish we lived nearer than 2-3 hrs away!

Heard good things about this place and went for supper last Wednesday. Immediately welcomed by charming gentleman and sat down at nice table. Fire lit, quite a few people, it’s not idyllically pretty inside but warm service more than makes up for this.

Wonderful food at this lovely Tavern. Friendly and welcoming staff, a small menu but everything is cooked to perfection. Dogs welcome too which is always a bonus. Would definitely eat there again.

This is the second time we have spent xmas eve at the Eagle we first came in 2018. We found the menu very varied and well priced. Booking a meal two weeks before was easy and you are given good time slots. Dont expect lots of staff running around its not needed you are booked in and the barperson/waiter looks after you. The chef must cook individual meals and presenation is excellent. We were a party of 4.

A friend and I went for Sunday lunch to wrap up my visit back to England for the festive season. I had the lamb, it was so beautiful it just fell apart. The beef was very taste too. Service was lovely. Dogs are allowed in the bar, which is a really nice touch. I would definitely go again.

Came in this evening with my cousin and his wife for dinner. We had originally planned to go somewhere else but this other place claimed they were too busy even though they only had 2 tables ahead of us. You fitted us in comfortably and saw to us quickly for drinks, seeing that we couldn't decide between a number of things on your tempting and mouthwatering menu. We shared a bottle of your chillean Pinot Noir which was lovely, for a light red it was full of flavour. My cousin had the Oxford Blue for starter which he enjoyed however only note would be that he wasn't sure on how the sorbet went with the cheese, thought it was too sweet. Myself and his wife both had the Lagos (whipped feta on home made bread) which was amazing. Totally not what we expected but so worth ordering! I think our server said it was native to Slovakia and you could tell the chef enjoyed making it. I had the chicken supreme for my main, stuffed with prunes and almonds with veg cooked to perfection. The flavours all worked so well and the chicken was still so moist. My cousin had the lamb which he said was the best piece of lamb he'd had in a really long time. Cooked very well, accompanied perfectly. His wife had the fisherman's stew which we all tried and I have to say it was definitely the winning dish out of the three. Flavours were incredible, was big enough as a stew to fill her up and she hopes to visit again soon enough that it will still be on the menu! Service was delightful and when I questioned the server about the chef's and their talents he seemed very passionate about the fact they like to display foods from their native countries yet using locally sourced products which seems to work very well. I wish I lived in the area to visit more often but I'm sure my family will and I certainly will when I come over again!

We visited this lovely pub on 30th dec,a party of 8 friends for a break to celebrate new year.

Superb meal. We were a party of 8 and we all agreed the food was absolutely outstanding. Great service and lovely surroundings. Thank you.

Four of us had lunch at this pub today. What a pleasure! It’s spotless! Warm welcome from very friendly staff, lovely comfortable dining area and beautiful background music set the scene for a most enjoyable afternoon. The food is out of this world, outstanding quality, excellent value for money. two of us had the superb roast lamb, one had the lentil curry and the other had the roast beef. Every meal was top quality, beautifully presented. I would highly recommend this tavern.

We cannot speak highly enough of the Eagle. Their food is innovative, beautifully prepared and cooked to perfection.

So friendly and cosy with superb food. Good value for money for the 3 course menu. Our favourite place to eat in Oxfordshire by far

I stayed at The Eagle Tavern for five days while on a business trip. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious, the range of choices extensive. The room was clean and tidy, the bed comfortable.

Four of us really enjoyed it last night and it has to be one of the best meals and indeed, experiences of the year. We will all most definitely be back and thanks for a great night.

What a fantastice Place! From the greeting you receive on entry to the beautifully presented and flavoursome food. Had the lamb on Friday evening - melted in the mouth. You must have a team of fantastic chefs in the kitchen - thank you, shall be back!

Had dinner here last weekend after a break of several years. The ambience was warm and cosy and we were served quickly and efficiently. The menu was less 'nouveau cuisine' than previously with a good range of options and very reasonably priced for either 2 or 3 courses - rather than by individual dishes (the menu is available on line). The food arrived promptly (though we'd have liked a slightly longer pause between 1st and 2nd courses) and was well cooked and presented. The portions were generous with being too much to eat! A very pleasant evening - we'll be visiting again.

It was a great shame we were the only people eating at The Eagle last Thursday night but I suppose it was like having ones own private dining room. Yet it was fully booked for the Friday evening.

From initial greeting to leaving the restaurant this was an excellent experience. The ambience was cosy and welcoming. The food was creative and superbly prepared, presented and flavoured. Even our coffee was piping hot just how we like it. We would not hesitate to return or recommend this restaurant to our friends and relatives. Thank you to Marcel and Peter.

Our first time at The Eagle Tavern but it definitely won’t be the last! Situated in a lovely village near Faringdon, serving Ramsbury beer on draught and Pilsner Urquell In a traditional bar. The Sunday lunch was very good value with a choice starters, mains & deserts with emphasis on local seasonal produce. The celeriac soup was amazing along with lovely bread. For main, the lamb shoulder was incredibly tender and tasty and the roast chicken was equally delicious. Served with seasonal vegetables and excellent roast potatoes with plenty of lovely gravy. The creamed cabbage with caraway seeds was a lovely addition to the seasonal vegetables. Highly recommend a visit to this Tavern!

Amazing food in a beautiful village surrounding. Dogs allowed. Service brilliant. Food Devine!! You won’t be disappointed!

The name doesn't give away that this is a fine dining restaurant, with prices to match - yes, locals also stop in just for a drink but the whole set up is about the food of a very good chef.

We really enjoyed a family meal on Saturday night at The Eagle. Collectively we ordered nearly all the dishes on the menu and they were all beautifully presented and clearly cooked with great skill and care. Everything was delicious!

The duck breast was delicious and served on cheddar mash and beets. The camabert brûlée was a perfect first course. Too full to try a dessert.

A recent lunchtime visit to the Eagle was very much enjoyed. The decor is a little dated, but everywhere is spotless. The hosts are very helpfull and friendly, the service good and the food delicious.

We discovered this gem after being let down by another local establishment during the summer and visited again today to celebrate my birthday. Once again the food and the service were excellent. The menu is not extensive but all the options are cooked excellently with wonderful, well balanced flavours. We are already looking forward to the next birthday celebration in a few weeks time and will be recommending this fantastic eatery to all and sundry in the mean time.

We came with a couple of friends for Sunday lunch and it was really nice and the service was excellent. Only thing stopping us coming regularly was that it was a bit on the pricey side for Sunday lunch. But we will defiantly come back again especially for a special occasion.
