The Easington in Cherwell

I met friends at The Easington for Sunday lunch. The pub has been recently updated but apart from this it’s much the same as before.. more could have been done to be honest. The food was pretty good, especially the Sea Bass. The young server was excellent, the man on the bar however was abrupt and unwelcoming.. sadly he didn’t seem to be happy to be working in hospitality.

We often choose The Easington for work lunches because the menu has so much to offer, we can book a table easily online and there's ample parking. The food is consistent quality and great value for money - good veggie options and they're dog-friendly too. It's also just recently had a refurb which is nice. This time we ate outside because it was such lovely weather!

Absolutely brilliant pub with a great garden and a friendly atmosphere.. foods delicious too!

Visit to the Easington for a family sunday lunch at 2.30pm the service was very good pub was very clean and food was excellent and very hood value i would definitely recommend sunday lunch at the Easington Banbury . GARY BATCHELOR

Food ok very slow clearing the table.

Gone downhill. The food here used to be great, but ever since they have had 'trouble with their suppliers' it has gone down hill fast. I had a turkey roast dinner: dry and what roast potatoes there were on my plate were hard skinned like jacket spuds. However, the actual pub and staff remained above average. Come on guys! Bring back the wonderful roast beef.

Arrived wth 94 year old lady for lunch, ordered drinks and then when we tried to order food we were told there was a hold on food orders. Thankfully the Barley Mow was more helpful and accommodating when I explained the situation.

Thought we would try it out after the recent renovation (although not much appeared to have visibly changed), having not visited for a while. Our last experience here wasn't great, but things can improve over time so we decided to give it another go. We ordered drinks and meals from the QR code at the table. We weren't too concerned about a wait for the food as we were in no hurry, but the drinks took almost 25 minutes to arrive (we had already made a good start on the food before the drinks were brought over!). No apology when the drinks eventually made it to the table. No one came over to ask if the food was ok (it wasn't awful, just rather underwhelming and a little overpriced for the portion sizes). It's a shame as we really wanted to have a positive experience this time, but I can't say we'll be rushing back!

Went yesterday on Mother’s Day. Booked at table . Would expect a slight delay as busy . But 1hour 45 mins for food really isn’t acceptable. Asked a couple times if they had an idea on time scale ( after a hour wait) to be told it was being plated up, which clearly it wasn’t. Food when arrived wasn’t to bad at all. Waitress was lovely

Sunday lunch absolutely beautiful the beef so tender, lots of veg, homemade Yorkshire and delicious gravy, would love to return

Good food at a good price with good service and a nice large garden.

Amazing food and great service from all the staff especially Nick. Would definitely recommend as really good value for money as well

Nick was a pleasure to be served by, super friendly and knowledgeable about the upcoming events. Food also very yummy and 10/10 value for money :)

Nicks a boss, really made us feel welcome. Cheers dude.

Great place. Just reopened from a refurb. Large spacious pub/restaurant. Huge garden with garden tables and pods. Plenty of parking available. Good food menu and kid friendly. The staff are great and very polite. Quiz nights, steak nights etc. recommended 👍🏻

All very pleasant, food was great, portion size great, service really good, staff all lovely and friendly, really great experience

We had a great time with family. The refurbished interior is great and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was lovely and great value.

Had my daughters 40th here .food was great .not long to wait and hot .it was a packed pub .recommended

Chose The Easington as it has just had a refurb, looks nice inside as you should expect. Ordered drinks followed by the food shortly after. The food arrived 25-30mins later, the signature beef pie was very good with meat in it (have had some with hardly any inside), no carrots were served and asked why they hadn't had delivery, should of been told when ordering. The beer was a good pint, staff were friendly. So would I go back again, I most probably would so yes.

Fantastic pub Banbury Easington Nathan is so good with the customers and so polite will definitely be back

A Perfect Evening at Easington Pub Thanks to Nathan!

Amazing breakfast this morning, fresh and well presented. Very polite service and fantastic value for money

A lovely meal when it finally arrived 10 mins after my family had received there’s, we also had to ask about this they had not realised a mistake had been made until we brought it to their attention- overall lovely quality food but service needs to be altered a tad; polite staff just timings are not correct.

Great pub good vibes Nath is the best waiter ever

Great pub lots of atmosphere Could do with more variety of gin But Nath is always ready to help

Lovely food at the Easington! Lovely barstaff and was well looked after very well by Nathan.

Amazing landscape and vibrant colors.

Went and had a meal today Sat 8th March at The Easington a pub we have used many times now it has had a refurb it has give a tired pub a fab look We must say the Food Value for Money Service Atmosphere were the best we have had and highly recommend it. But book using there website as it was fully booked To the new owners and Staff Thankyou for a fantastic Night we will be back

Went to lunch today with family I have to say the food although being traditional pub food was very good and plenty of it It’s also really nice to see the pub finally being managed and both landlord and landlady very present The atmosphere was very pleasant and all staff very friendly and helpful Overall a lovely experience

Are they going to win a Michelin star? No. But If you want good value, tasty, pub grub then you can’t go wrong. Good choice of food options and recently redecorated. Really wish they would stop bringing your cutlery on a plate though, because after taking your cutlery, you are left with an empty plate on your table.

Cannot fault the customer service at this lovely pub. Staff are always so friendly and efficient. Food is always top notch and the new refurbish looks so lovely and modern.

Everyone was really friendly, the new renovation of the pub was great, service was very good and the food was very tasty, highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a nice pub meal at an affordable price, nick was also very good checking we were happy with everything, thank you

Can't fault it, the staff are amazing, always friendly and helpful. Big shout out to Elaine 😁🤚 lovely lady

Newly refurbished & under new management. What a pleasant change! Busy and happy atmosphere. Nice music in the background, book a table to avoid missing out. Will be going again 😄

Excellent very friendly,warm welcome ,very dog friendly able to sit where we wanted chose sunday lunch turkey and beef prompt service good quality piping hot food . Great experience will be back.

What can I say about this place?? The food is banging and good value for money. The staff a friendly, great service from Nathan and Amber. So polite and courteous.

Met a friend here for lunch on a Friday lunch time. The place was packed but we managed to find a table. I had a steak sandwich and we ordered from our phones. It came out super quickly. The staff were really chatty and funny and the service was great. The sandwich was really yummy. Would definitely visit again!! Great value for money.

New menu is fantastic, the mac and cheese rib is amazing 😍

Amber, Nathan, Aaron, Joe and Izzy were absolutely superb in their service for my mom's 60th Birthday meal. The service was smooth and effortless. Top team and top service

A very nice pub with great food with great prices

What a lovely place first time here. Came with family there was 6 of us eating all had main meals hot and delicious. Gabby was very welcoming. Definitely come again.

Had a lovely meal yesterday in The Easington. The new managers where very friendly and welcoming. The food was perfect as well!

Dreadful experience and the staff were very rude and not interested in providing an adequate level of service to their paying guests. Over 1 hour wait for mains when the pub was not really busy. Food average at best. Had to ask the staff many times for the food to be served. Think they just forgot our order from start to finish. Ordered pre set menu and order for 15 people three weeks before so they new what everyone wanted and still got it wrong and then to round it off bill was incorrect due to them not informing us that the prices on the set menu are not the same as the evening menu that they gave you at the time of pre ordering. Won't be going again and would advise to keep away.

Lovely to receive a warm welcome from Steve unlike his predecessor. Great to see the pub extremely busy. Keep up the good work!

We have recently moved to the area and this is now our local pub as it’s such a lovely environment. Food is good and very reasonable in price. Drinks are varied with superb deals such as wine club. Staff are very accommodating and never had any complaints, always so friendly and polite. We have brought friends and family here since moving and look forward to many more visits.

everything’s perfect and great for the price but please get more selection of lagers on tap 🙏

Always a great place to eat amazing value and great food and really popular would recommend booking ahead of time most days so you get a table

Very hot and miss. Was a hit this time. Good food and good service from a young man. The woman running around the place was very rude. Also didn't know how to smile.

Always liked this place. Clean, friendly, big inside and out. Some very good deals on food. The only gripe is the system can not cope with more than one deal. For example, if you have an in-house deal, it may ignore other coupons.

A nice place to stop off for a drink on a cold night specially next to the warm fire and lovely bar staff who will have a laugh

Warm, comfortable, good menu selection, good food, friendly service

Pleasantly surprised, nice for a pub on a housing estate

Lovely food, lovely service and wonderful atmosphere 😊 definitely coming back 😀

Was served by Matt, great customer service. Always very welcoming

Tables and menus weren't clean, sticky in sweet drinks, lounges were ripped. Total impression - messy. On the other hand christmas decorations and lights made it cosy. Soup was disgusting though

I have never once had a bad meal or experience at the Easington. The food is always fantastic, the service is always A1 and the prices are more than reasonable.

Booked last night i had burger and fries with onion rings the server brought the food over quick quickly. Not many people in at 7pm. When tasted the burger was burnt and very dry blacking places the onion rings were cremated. When the same server came back to ask about the meal I asked should this meal had left the kitchen ge replied no it shouldn't . So why then did he serve this meal to me .then offered a desert really. I should have been offered a full refund as the meal was,appalling and he,agreed No wonder it was empty, a little cafe could do alot better our bill came to£49. You should be ashamed of yourselves for serving this type of food

Waitress was very rude and had a terrible attitude. Burger was so overcooked and very underwhelming. Couldn’t even complain to a manager because they don’t have one! Only received 2 stars for the sweet chilli chicken wings which were good.

Visited for the first time today, what a lovely pub! If I could rate this more than 5* I would, food was absolutely lovely, the pub was nice and clean and the staff provided excellent service. Will be returning for sure, keep it up :)

Special thanks to Matt, had an amazing visit, will be back again!

The table was reserved for us but not really pointed out to us on arrival. After ordering, the food arrived in reasonable time (though the pub wasn't that busy) however it was missing a part of our order which had to be pointed out and arrived half way through the meal. Sadly the pub furniture is starting to look shabby and tired. Worse, the gents toilet floor was awash and there was no warning outside the door. Not a good look for our visitors who had travelled from Devon to join us.

I made a visit here for a meal yesterday afternoon and all I can say is I couldn't recommend this place higher......the food was FANTASTIC and the NATHEN who served us was nothing but attentive,polite, and extremely helpful to our needs.....I'll be back for sure

Nice food,sometimes hard to get a table.

The service & food was amazing. We were served by Matt & Nathan. Thank you so much

We attended the breakfast with santa... We was put on a tiny table that was more suitable for 2 people, not 3! We paid £10 each person, which was a bit steep. Considering adults breakfast was £8 something without santa "just sat there" and kids breakfast is £5. Expected a little more than a bag with 3 tiny pencils and few bits of paper to colour in for the gift from santa. Which my daughter never got from santa as a member of staff picked it up from santa and gave it to us. Santa literally just "sat" there, he didn't look like he enjoyed any second of it. Will not return. To top of this off, we ordered a pot of tea for two. I am lactose intolerant so asked for oat milk, they had some thankfully. But to my disgust, he couldn't open the bottle, then told me he thinks it's frozen. He forced his way into the carton, to then see it all crusty on top. He proceeded to just "scrap" the crust of the top into the bin with a knife he found on the side and then poured a jug of this disgusting oat milk that had clump all in it and gave it to me. If i had been stupid enough to put this into my tea I would have been seriously poorly. So I did not have any tea. We never complained on the day as I didn't want to spoil the 'magic' for our child.

Matt made us feel very welcome, will be back soon :)

The stake was over cocked when mentioned to the staff was removed from pib due to criticism towards the food received. Staff frendly but owners will decline criticism

Full English breakfast was lovely.

Joe was exceptional tonight. Gave us everything we wanted and even gave recommendations. Top bloke.

Staff lovely and food was really good, especially for the price. We had from the set menu, which was 2 courses for £9.99 and 3 courses for £11.99, definitely value for money.

Amazing food and quick service. Definitely will come back.

Amazing service by Nath and Dan

Wide variety of food and ales, great stuff :o) amazing service by Nathan

Good food. Amazing service and bery friendly. I dropped glass and all our dinner was replaced and drinks too.

Nathan was a great , checked on us multiple times and made sure everything was satisfactory. Very good attention to detail. Went above and beyond. even though Nathan was very busy he still made sure to make sure we were looked after

Great service, good food, many thanks.

Dog friendly on one side of the pub, food as to be expected in a chain pub (new menu has just come out), plenty of seating, nice big garden area, good selection of drinks and the staff are lovely. Most recently served by Ioan and Nathan, both great to talk to, very polite and hard working.

The food was good, the place was nicely decorated, and Ioan was really friendly with my kids. 👌✨

Nice food, friendly service, reasonably priced.

Great experience, had a nice time. Clean place, thoughtful and polite people. Was attended by Ioan.

Ioan, he excelled with the service, I arrived after a hard day and without a doubt left the establishment with a smile

Nathan has been amazing with his service and so accommodating for my Nan and has made her day. The food was lovely but the visit was made by Nathan himself so thank you for cheering up a lovely 84yr old!

Nathan was attentive and friendly despite being extremely busy for mid week.

Very rude staff especially the manager. Needs to learn to treat people with respect. Group of eight of us did not stay and eat. And would never return.

Came for the first time with some friends and had a great time, we had Ioan as our host and it was a bliss, looking forward to come back

very good place very good service, Ioan was very friendly to me and my family, he made us feel like home

Really friendly staff on bar, served by Ioan and even though it was busy, he took the time to make us feel welcome and make sure we had everything we needed. The pub has a great atmosphere and we will definitely be returning.

A very beautiful place with very polite staff. Ioan's work deserves special mention.

Always a good experience. Good food, atmosphere and great service from Nathan and the team
