The Easington in Cherwell

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.

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 :)

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

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

Nice food,sometimes hard to get a table.

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.

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

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.

Lovely food, very friendly. Popped in for dinner and wasn't disappointed 😊

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.

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

Amazing service by Nath and Dan

Amazing food and quick service. Definitely will come back.

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

Christmas meal with friends, food was lovely, service was great

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

Awesome food, awesome team. We had an accident and glass smashed over our meal. The team replaced everything required and wouldn’t allow us to pay extra. Fine example of a great pub. Thanks guys

Nathan was excellent all round, great customer service.

Staff very helpful especially Amber

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. 👌✨

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.

Nice food, friendly service, reasonably priced.

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

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

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

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!

Such a pretty and comfy place!😍🥰🎀 I'll definetely come back. The food was spectacular, and the service was excellent. I was attended by Ioan⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a nice experience, good service by Ioan very kind and friendly staff memeber.

staff were lovely, i got served by ioan.Food was incredible and so was the drinks. Customer service was on point i really recommend

A very good place, super good food and a great service from Ioan We will definitely come back!

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

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

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

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.

Nice boozer, good selection of ales.

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

lovely pub and great atmosphere. Nathan is the most amazing barman we have ever come across! he is so polite and remembers our order every time!

Came in with my sister. Met the wonderful Andrew who was super friendly, attentive and efficient. The halloumi fries were exceptional but would prefer a sweet chilli sauce. Would highly recommend to friends who want tasty, reasonably priced food. And always ask for Andrew!

Good place to have some pints and good food.

Really good food here. Cheap beer prices.

Amazing service and fast service from Nathan and amber I cannot recommend this pub enough they always know what I want and nothing is ever a issue

Amber and Nathan very good service real good

Really fast and friendly service!

Always pleasant experience every time I come for food herd great place

On the whole all the staff are friendly, helpful and very hospitable. Food is good.

Went for some food at the easington highly recommend the food can't complain about the food but went to use the salt on my food and it wouldn't come out the pot so tried multiple salt pot and no luck so opened one of the pots open and saw this as you can see the salt has been sat there for ages and has got thick and hard and sticks to the pot they was all like this so took it up to bar and asked for a new salt pot that don't do that and he said he will sort it out but never did bit gross the salt being like that very poor

Happy with the food and service ( Nathan) Always a nice place to go out for a beer and food

Friendly staff, quick service, good full menu. Music in background not too loud. Lots of parking

Friday 18/10/24. Came in for a drink with a colleague and Andrew the duty manager had amazing service. Top lad.

Having a dietary problem I know I can be catered for at The Easington, but it also caters for the "burger brigade" too! Only negative. The toilets could do with a good clean/upgrade!

Pretty poor roast meal , choice of two meats , gammon very very fatty , chicken , very small drum stick no breast tasted weird. Veg undercooked, roast potatoes ok, stuffing with bacon wrapped , both undercooked and tasted cheap! Staff not at all welcoming , “have you booked “ as soon as we walked in . Then left us standing at the bar wondering what next ? Disappointed with what I spent and received , £40 for two people isn’t bad but the quality was very very poor. Cheap produced meals . Won’t return .

Good meal good service very comfortable

Nathan and Elouise, perfect staff never get rid of them

Great food and service. Always friendly staff here

Nathan and Elouise were absolutely amazing tonight so hard working hats of to them service was outstanding thank you guys for a lovely evening

Staff were lovely & very accommodating dogs in the first area only, but that's fine we hadn't booked as my friend & I only decided 30 mins before it was early & the meals were quick & delicious plus the Bottle of Wine went down nicely aswell. The Menu had good choice plus it's nice to have a good Pub only 10mins walk away 👍 We had 3 courses & a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc so we found it all very good value.

Absolutely great food and the staff are very friendly! Great times can be spent here.

Hi all, unfortunately I haven't spent much time in the pub itself but what I have seen regarding service, atmosphere and food I can easily say... if you are in Banbury, please don't miss this one. I did, don't be me.

Thank you to Nathan for his fab service, and being so friendly.We really enjoyed our meal.

Food and service were great especially using the chain app. Very quiet, no background music at the time of visit. A couple of item not available.

Big rear garden, plenty of seating. Good range of beers at reasonable prices. Not tried the food yet. The pub is not a place you would take someone for a romantic date. Plenty of parking.

Was in there today the food was horrible. I ordered a pint and when it was finished noticed dirt stuck to the bottom of the glass told them bout it and answer was they couldn't do notting about it. I'll never use this pub again to dirty

We visited The Easington as Banbury is about half way between where I live, and where my family live. It can be hard to find a place to accommodate two vegans and two large dogs but The Easington ticked all of our boxes and we were seated in a lovely chalet in the garden area. The food arrived quickly, and it was very well priced. There was something for everyone in our party and we were given water for our dogs. We used a mixture of bar and app to table service and experienced no issues with either. Staff were very attentive and made sure that we were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend The Easington to others and we will look to return at our next family gathering. We experienced no issues with our visit and the pace of the experience was perfect. Highlights for us were the seating area outside, the staff, and the cheesecake. As two vegans we have tried a lot of vegan cheesecakes and this was one of the best we had. Please pass on this feedback to your staff, they have provided us with an outstanding service and would like for their efforts to be recognised by Ember Inns.

Popped into the Easington for a cheeky Saturday tea & received excellent service from Nathan & the team. Food was tasty & served quickly, good value for money.

Had a fantastic experience at the Easington food was amazing. Nathan is always extremely friendly and welcoming.

Lovely place and Nathan at the bar is always sure nice and helpful :)

Food always quick, and Nathan is top man 👌

We enjoyed a superb vegetarian English breakfast at The Easington. The meal was beautifully prepared, with a delightful variety of fresh, flavorful ingredients. The portion sizes were generous and every item was cooked to perfection. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for a delicious and satisfying vegetarian breakfast experience!

Visited as a group several times, when visiting the local area. Always a place we will return to due to the excellent food, service. Comfortabale, welcoming atmospere. Highly recommended and will return again.

Really nice garden round the back, food was priced amazing and tasted great :)

Having ordered the surf and turf thought it would be an enjoyable choice. Dreadful will not be returning.

Good value. Clean with lots of seating inside and outside.

Customer service above and beyond thank you tilly and Christina. Delicious food and reasonably priced. We will be back soon!!

First time visiting and very disappointed... Waited ages for food, the kids eat for £1 is a con... We were told we're better off just paying... Kids starters came out, adults hadn't ordered starters but we had to sit for ages... Just bring kids starters out with mains all in one go.... We ended up in the pub for 2.5 hours... Dreadful

Good pub, good food, lovely garden

Great team at the Easington there very polite

Great service and good highly recommend

The food was great and the service as always was fantastic from Nathan.

Superb as usual nath maddie and aaron! Thanks for making our evening

Can't really comment on the food as didn't feel the welcome enough to stay. Use Ember inns (mainly the Foley arms in Stourbridge) as they are dog friendly and are willing to sit anywhere in line with pub guidelines on this. Had a lovely welcome from the bar where we asked where we could go with the dog, but sadly that where it ended. The girl got our dog a water bowl and this was much apricated. Whilst choosing our food another staff member come over and said dogs aren't allowed there but in a disapproving tone. We were willing to move but the only table that is dog friendly is right by the door. It would appear Ember inns have changed their policy on dogs. Have since been back to the ember inns in Stourbridge and had no problems.

Excellent last night releall enjoyed our night out great Staff Izzy Amber and Nathan 👍

Lovely atmosphere always, great service and lovely helpful staff. Izzy and Nathan served me today and most times I'm here. Both so happy and chatty, the staff make the atmosphere incredible!!

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

really long wait for food and bad attitude from the management, used to love this place! May return when management changed.

Loved the food and the bar staff are always so friendly whenever I go in there

Standard of food not good has gone down hill ordered burger came with one very small piece of lettuce no onions no sauce really disappointing will be going else where in future shame as it use to be pretty good

Great food, good service & fantastic atmosphere - would thoroughly recommend! Thanks to Nath, Rob & Harry for a wonderful time

Great fish and chips and service was great from Nathan Rob & Harry

The staff were very friendly and the food was very tasty. We came for dinner and the football was shown for those who were interested.

Great friendly service from Nath, Rob and Hazza - just what we needed after travelling!

I visit here for lunch when I am visiting Banbury to see my mum, who is in a nursing home. Never had any issues, staff are always pleasant and the food is good.

Great pub , with the usual pub fayre! Food was hot & tasty , they are really hot on their food allergen awareness. Nice atmosphere! Would recommend!

A great british pub, good food, good drinks. Not sure about entertainment as I went for Sunday lunch

The atmosphere was lovely. The food was fantastic.
