The Fleur de Lys in South Oxfordshire

Managed to pick one of the few nice days this year (so far) to have a blissful Sunday lunch in the garden. Such friendly service from all the team and another outstanding roast. Couldn’t be more helpful. Perfect way to spend a Summer’s afternoon.

A great little pub which does food, busy and lively atmosphere with friendly service. Visited in April, too cold but there is lots of outside space for warmer weather. Food was really tasty and sensible price. Would recommend.

Nice venue but just a shame about a couple of the regulars in there wrecked the experience. Inside these 2 old boys were a bit annoying while I was ordering at the bar. Got my drinks and took them outside where my wife was sitting. Few minutes later they followed and sat at the table behind me. Car drove past playing hip hop and they commented saying ‘stupid Muslim music, it’s not Ramadan’!!!!! Then one pointed at me (I’m half West Indian) and they grabbed their drinks and went back inside. So depending on your background I’d think twice about going

Mothers Day Lunch - super busy and struggling with delays. BUT that happens, and the staff couldn't have been more polite (and open about the wait). The free round of drinks was a super nice touch. The roast is VERY VERY GOOD. A level up in terms of quality, ingredients, size, and taste. Happy Mum and happy Children. Looking forward to seeing this pub continue to build.

This pub is exceptional. Run by the brilliant team from Bishop’s court, they have created an absolute gem (and we’re fussy!) a welcoming atmosphere, great drinks selection and absolutely knock-out pizzas (weeknights and Saturdays) and Sunday roasts. The produce is local and exceptional, the menu is kept short so as to avoid freezing anything and it is all just absolutely perfect. If this was in central Oxford it would have a several week waiting list (and no amazing rural walks beforehand!) Finally, if you like truffle/parmesan and aioli chips, these are amongst the best you’ll have anywhere.

This was an outstanding Sunday lunch -service delightful, soup super tasty, lamb pink & delicious and the stewed pear was best ever. All well priced. We will be back soon

8 of us went to to the Fleur for Sunday lunch following a walk and had a glorious time. 1st time I'd been here in ages and it's obvious the place is under new management. Young friendly bar staff , good beer, excellent food and good reasonably priced wine. The menu is limited to 3/4 choices per course but that's not a problem as by having a smaller menu the kitchen is able to concentrate on delivering quality across all courses rather than offering a myriad of mediocre options. The vegetables were exceptional. No frozen, under seasoned broccoli/cauliflower but beautifully seasoned roasted heritage carrots, roast squash and charred cabbage along with great spuds which set this apart from standard Sunday lunch pub grub. The set price 2 and 3 course menu options are great value and this place is very worth a visit.

Just don’t.. came for a pizza had a pint like you do.. love my ale especially hand cask. Choose the brewery rebellion overthrow. Cloudy… barman said would settle. Drank a third of pint didn’t settle so asked for a half pint refund…nope came the reply. Your bag but poor kept ale.

Best place for beer in Dorchester! Shame they don't serve sandwiches for lunch but they do have pizza!

If you want to try English pies this is the place. The steak and Stilton was fantastic. Others had steak and kidney and just steak. All were really good and traditionally English Very large selection of draft ales lagers and cider too

Popped in for a quick drink, beautiful from the outside, looked the part in a sleepy historic village. Friendly service from the young lady behind the bar. Disappointed once inside, apart from the nice stone flagged floor, looked far too modern. 'A poor attempt at the period look with 'distressed' wooden tables and chairs and a modern bar. Half hearted attempt at cask ale, and loud-ish music coming from behind the bar. It's sad that the makeover and modern management hasn't done justice to what appears at first glance to be a lovely old pub. Sigh..........

We visited this pub on a walk and we had a great time. It has a massive garden and two cask beers. My partner very much appreciated the female hygiene product in the bathroom. Would recommend for a visit!

We all enjoyed our meal, the food was very good the service was excellent. The environment was very inviting and relaxing

Booked into hotel, didn't say they didn't do food only on weekends, t.v didn't work properly, bathroom radiator didn't work, wallpaper has come unstuck in places, only thing that was any good was the shower. After paying for room, was lied to about getting the Receipt. and still waiting 3 days later. My advice stay somewhere else.

We stayed one night in a double room at the Fleur de Lys because it was the only hotel in Dorchester accepting of a dog. The two members of staff were friendly and welcoming and the only food available - pizza in the garden - was fine. But the room was weird with what looked to be recently acquired furniture so badly placed so that the double (the only bed made up with a duvet) was wedged up against a wall and that being the wall on which the (unviewable)TV was fixed. The headboard of another, smaller double bed was backed tightly up to the windows so that half the curtains were permanently drawn - the other half open revealing a sash window in very poor nick through which the presence of a mismatched bistro set and a bucket for fag ends arranged on a bit of flat roof invited guests to limbo out to enjoy the evening air. Another odd and unnecessary flourish were 5 pictures belonging to at least one, maybe more, earlier decorative scheme(s), hanging randomly in a high up row where they could be viewed from the bed (as the telly could not be, maybe?). We could find no one to speak to in the morning but finally gave the key back to someone who turned up in a car with a few dogs outside in the road who asked us if we’d booked for breakfast. The cost of the room was £135 but, surprisingly enough, this rate did not include breakfast. Really shockingly poor value for a room in an establishment which seems to have completely lost the plot. Unless you have a dog, dont bother.

Excellent pizza and draught beer. Pizza is cooked in the stove right in front of you. Wide garden with facilities for children.

We ordered the fish platter, very ordinary for £30 and few chips under the fish were cold. Asked for replacements which never came. Small piece of cod on fish and chips order which was poor value at £18. 300% mark up on a bottle of white wine. Wished I had trusted my rule of thumb that weeds growing on an entryway to a pub or restaurant is never a good look and doesnt bode well.

A lovely venue with nice decor and garden but sadly This place missed the mark with us. Our first visit kitchen was closed due to no chef, our most recent visit we ordered a bottle of red for £25 which was just OK, looked up the price it was a 210% mate up on an £8 bottle. £10 for a bloody mary we made ourselves as the person behind the bar (I assume the owner) hadn't made one before. We looked at the menu but £17.50 for a burger plus £2 extra if you wanted cheese was off-putting considering how we were overcharged for the drinks. I understand the pub needs to mark up and make their money but the prices were far too high for what was offered. The place was nearly empty on a sunny Sunday afternoon after an event at the Abbey which is very telling. It's a shame as can't fault the venue but I really hope the owner thinks about pricing better, there are so many beautiful rural pubs in South Oxfordshire that offer better value for money and looking at other reviews we aren't the first to feel let down by the price.

Impromptu visit on a Sunday evening with my girlfriend as we were staying elsewhere in the village. It’s a warm, friendly pub with very personable staff who served us with one of the best pork roasts either of us had eaten in years (we are both food snobs and proud!) and a bread and butter pudding that could only have been produced by an angel. Not the cheapest but unquestionably excellent value for money and a truly lovely experience, if passing through again we would both re-visit without hesitation.

Style over substance. Lovely afternoon beer in an immaculate beer garden so booked for dinner. What a contrast. Food was awful. Salt, salt and more salt. All dishes were terrible. Homemade pie burnt to a crisp. Queued at the bat to start with, staff could only deal with one order at a time. A party of 6 behind walked out not willing to wait. Our waitress was clueless - didn’t know the menu, couldn’t even find buttons on the electronic screen and even asked if wanted a desert after she cleared our starter plates. Owner / manager asked how our meal was, seemed Completely disingenuousness couldn’t see the huge faults in their service. Offered a £5 discount. Like the fact they have have tried a contemporary place to a quiet country village but unfortunately they have no clue how to manage a kitchen or a successful bar. Stay clear!

We were told that Wednesday was the chef's night off but that there would be pies, scampi, tagine, salad etc. A group of 7 ate there and really enjoyed it - good size portions and tasty food. The room ambience was very pleasant and we struggled to understand why we were almost the only ones eating there.

We sat outside on the first sunny day of the year for lunch. We were blown away by the massive portions. The pie was actually full to the top with delicious filling. No airspace. I'm a big guy but still struggled to finish my portion even after a gorgeous walk up onto Wittenham Clumps. A bit pricey but fully recommend.

Charming warm friendly atmosphere. Fire burning away. We ordered moules and they were generous and delicious. Fully recommend calling in and eating and drinking here.

We stopped by whilst visiting the lovely village of Dorchester and were amazed at the high quality of the lunch we had here . The meat sharing platter was such good quality , good value ,an interesting selection some of which had an asian twist...

We had a lovely one night stay, the rooms were really comfortable and well decorated - very good value too. The breakfast was also delicious and very friendly service. Thank you!

fabulous cooking, great atmosphere, fabulous portions and a lovely warm welcome. I cannot recommend this highly enough. x

I mixed menu of traditional English classics and some locally produce specialities. For starters we choose beer bbq chicken wings and ribs. These were a little under seasoned but tasty all the same. Mains we went for Sea bass and duck. Both excellent and presented...

Excellent value and a good lunch for walkers. Brilliant service and tasty food. A really good half way house whilst out walking. Highly recommended

Poor - rooms booked and confirmed by the owner included included one twin - there were no twin rooms which caused us inconvenience and a panic booking at another place for an extra room. That said the rooms were pretty good, the rest of the...

We arrived at the FDL to an empty bar, stood for a good 10 minutes and went through to the garden where we realised we could order online. We ordered 3 baguettes, some chips and drinks. We were told two of the three baguettes were...

What on earth have they done to what used to be a gem of a pub??? Stripped of all character, utterly charmless, no food, only one beer available, poor customer service. Who wants cocktails in Dorchester? Know your market. Current management should be ashamed of...

Service charge on two lime and sodas bought at the bar? Really? There was no service beyond putting drinks into glasses. Only realised when looking at receipt much later or would have questioned at the time. And bottled soda made a normally inexpensive drink very...

After one hour waiting for our food - hamburger (10 min to cook at most), deep fried calamari (1 minute to cook), fries (5 minutes) got hamburger without ordered cheddar, which the brought us later on the plate, calamari had cinnamon taste. Never again

A lovely place to stay, with great staff and service. The room was lovely and the breakfast was spot on. Would highly recommend.

Arrived about 3.30pm to a closed hotel. Found young lad in garden at the back who gave us some keys to our room advised us that breakfast was £10 if we wanted it . We Told him we were booked in for evening meal and...

We booked a one night stay, Bearing in mind check in is from 2pm we were surprised to learn, when we arrived at 4.30pm that the room was not ready and would not be for another 2 hours, We were asked if we would like...

This pub used to be a gem, but no longer. Booked a table so we were expected but ended up having to wait nearly 3 hours for questionable food. Constantly told it was on its way and our order was next and when we requested...

We arrived for a 1pm booking on Monday 30th May. The garden is a nice space, with plenty of tables (although only about half had umbrellas for shade). The 2 waiters were running around and it took 10-15 mins to get menus and order drinks,...

Lovely looking place, beautiful summer pub, but if your having food take a pack lunch whilst waiting, we gave up after 2 hours only wanted a baguette and cake, then charged 13 quid for 4 cokes and an apple juice and crisps, other people waited 2.5 hours and still weren't served as we left.

Dropped in here as we saw some good reviews a s thought it would be a lovely treat on our drive back to London - how wrong we were! The Caesar salad had day old dry chicken, and squishy soft croutons instead of fresh ones. How anyone can get something as simple as a Caesar salad wrong was beyond us. We informed the staff who made a second plate and half way through eating a hair was found nestled in the salad which completely put us off the whole meal. The burger was somewhat better but the chips were delivered in a beetroot stained, dirty cup, you could see the fingerprints of the person who had used it previously. The couple next to us also expressed their disappointment in their meal as an elderly pensioner described the lobster as the worst he'd eaten in his life. We would not recommend anyone to come here after our awful experience. Management made little effort to apologise and didn't even offer to dock money off the bill, which we would have refused as we are willing to support businesses after Covid, but the gesture and some effort to make amends for such an awful experience would have been welcomed.

Ordered pie of the day when arrived just about warm one cube of chicken in pie no additional gravy mash tasteless vedg hard very disappointing, complained to waitress who was apologetic ( not her fault) but was not offered a replacement or something else of the menu we paid the bill with no reduction, should really of not have to pay but did not won’t to complain again ( being typically British) would not recommend this bar / restaurant at all

Dropped in last Saturday wasn’t expecting to be able to eat but Luckily tables arable in the very pleasant garden area. Fabulous fish and chips generous portions and then squeezed in a desert grande beers and wines recommend this pub for a lovely village pub with attentive polite and well trained staff. John our waiter kept us amused, very good people skills.

What a delightful afternoon!Mid way through our Bank holiday Thames walk we stumbled acreooz the The Fleur de LysBig garden ✅And then we were greeted by Dominic, who arrived with a smile and happy to help. He was able to ( and was happy about it!) discuss the various drinks, ales and cider. He communicated well and was keen to engage in eye contact and chat, which is the friendly type of service you would hope for. Thanks Dominic

We had booked to stay at the FDL for 2 nights arriving on 28th September 2019 myself and my husband had a stay cation touring around the areawe arrived at linch time on the 28th but due to a family situation back home in Aberdeen we advised upon on arrival we would only be only be staying staying 1 night The booking was for payment upon arrival . The young man who checked us in advaised he would let the owner know and assured us we would only be charged for one night.He then showed us to our room which incidentally was not the room we booked but was lovely anyways apart from the view as it was on to a back alley when we asked about the room not being the same room as we booked he repleid he had given us an upgrade as there was no one else staying , i cheked the bookings page and it most certainly wasn't an upgraded as we paid for the most expensive room in the hotelUpon checking in we were asked if we would like breakfast and then told if you do you have to have it 9.30 this was quite late for us so we decided against but may be better to advise people that you don't get an early breakfast When we booked on booking.com they said there was a car park there wasn't a car park and parked in the public car park down road we never ate in hotel we went to another down the road in the village and it was lovely the white Heart lane hotel superb meal When we came to check out next morning i asked the owner so i could settle the bill she was sitting a table and advised me that she would sort it and promptly turned back to carry on a conversation with someone at the table terrible service and made to feel like a hinderance in the hotel also we have been charged for both nights - after being told that we would only be charged for one We most certainly will not be back to the FDL but will be back to dorchester on Thames , the George hotel owners and the white heart lane Hotel were both excellent

Just returned from a lovely evening with an impressive choice of cocktails and delicious tapas. There was a cosy atmosphere and friendly efficient staff. I would have scored 5 stars but the lady who I’m told is the owner showed no people skills whatsoever. In fact her only comments were all negative. A shame it took the edge off the experience. Covid considered, I was surprised no hand cleanser was available either at the front door or outside the toilets.

Lovely Little Pub :) Archaic In Serene Suroundings. Food Is Ok But Slightly Over Priced ! Don't Be Put Off By The Chaotic Dysfunctional Running Of The Place By Co-Dependent Mother Son Team Running The Joint; It Adds Humour & Charm To The Place.

We stayed recently with friends and generally had an enjoyable stay. Rooms were well appointed and breakfast was good. A couple of minor things, firstly we were told what time our breakfast would be served rather than being asked (there were no other guests for our first 2 nights) Secondly, our rooms were serviced during breakfast and were never finished once we'd finished eating. We therefore had to wait at the table until the rooms were done. This was very unusual as normally rooms are serviced after customers have left for the day. It also meant that once we were able to return to our rooms the cleaner had only just left. Under the current Covid restrictions (and having stayed at a number of establishments through the summer where it was explained that due to the situation, rooms were not serviced which we understood) this was maybe not the best arrangement.

We were searching on line for a dog friendly pub/hotel to catch up with a friend who was going alpaca walking nearby. Our telephone enquiry was dealt with in a helpful manner suggesting the Fleur de Lys would be an ideal venue.. We were not disappointed.There was plentiful outdoor seating but we chose a table inside where we felt safe and secure. The young staff were full of smiles and nothing was too much trouble. Our steak and onion baguettes were excellent and good value. We continued our conversation over coffees before leaving to explore the delights of Dorchester and its historic Abbey. We are already making plans to return to the Fleur de Lys. Highly recommended.

We arrived super late into Dorchester - three canal boats/four people and a dog on a weekend evening and we discovered that nowhere was serving any kind of food that late, until we showed up here. Two friendly welcoming bar staff served us scotch eggs and cakes and offered to make us sandwiches if we were still hungry, despite it being close to closing time. They were so nice to us we resolved to go back for dinner a few days later, which we did. Food is very good quality indeed, as was the wine. Bonus for us was that my friend could bring her dog with her. Thank you for welcoming us.

This was our leg 7 of our Thames Path walk. We always find a watering hole at the end. In the last few weeks, some establishments have been so unfriendly and Covid terrified, that we wished we hadn’t gone at all. This pub however was so welcoming. We had a great pint in the beer garden and wonderful homemade made sausage role and a piece of cake. What a difference from some of the brewery owned pubs we have been to. We will certainly go back here. Lovely girl serving us and nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely pub with a large garden will be lovely when the garden is revamped, great for families too. It’s directly opposite the abbey which is stunning.

Just nipped in for a pint on a hot day, it seems a lovely hotel run by a nice polite young man.would definitely return when in area.

Very friendly and good value lunch in a great garden with good social distancing and attentive staff.

The food was fine but overpriced and in my view overstated . The beer was alright but limited in choice.

First time I've paid to stay at a Hotel / Quest House / B & B and didn't get a wink of sleep all night! Thanks mainly to the Abbey clock across the road ringing its bells loudly every 15 minutes and at the top or the hour it's enough to wake the dead. On top of that the outside lights were blazing in to our window like a sun on steroids completely defeating the ill fitting curtain. The room had a sloping floor and a sloping bed with one leg propped up with a toilet roll? I had to lie down at the bottom of the slope to prevent the Mrs from falling out of bed. The bathroom & room was clean but no toiletries offered so don't forget your shampoo & shower gel. I would guess the current owners are new to any kind of customer service environment because there was precious little on show. Breakfast was a little underwhelming but just about o.k. Its a quirky place not without potential but the owners have to do a lot of improving if repeat custom is to be achieved. This is a review of the establishment as a Guest House / B & B not a review of the restaurant.

Recently reopened with a new team and an updated look. Friendly staff, good drinks selection, good menu.

I picked this place thanks to its proximity to Dorchester Abbey, where I was going for a gig. And what a lucky choice it was. This is such a fabulous little place, very comfortable and welcoming. I felt really at home there. Can't comment on the food as there had been a problem with the chef on the night I stayed, but the accommodation was excellent. The room was very characterful; wooden beams, uneven creaky floor, but a very clean and comfortable bed and a nice clean bathroom with a very easy to operate shower. Loved the place!

Here for a night for work. Dorchester is a pretty village in the Oxfordshire countryside. The FDL is a comfortable place to stay. The rooms are over the bar area and have a quirky layout being set out to suit an old building design. There are a few steps and floor level changes. The room was a good size with a comfortable bed and with a view of the Abbey over the road. The en suite had a large roll top bath but no shower curtain, so the shower was a little bit of a juggle.The breakfast was of a really good meal to start the day and the service was helpful and friendly. it looks like the bar is opening again and will make this a welcoming place to stop at in the future I imagine.

The room was lovely. Check in easy. I normally dont eat breakfast in hotels but the breakfast here was superb. We wanted to watch the rugby world cup on tv but the kick off coincided with breakfast. Sharon, who runs the B&B, opened the kitchen early! She is also a wonderful host.

A beautiful pub. Interior very inviting and relaxing. We were there late winter, and the roaring fire, in the fire place made our experience very enjoyable. Unti!!! The Bar Tender shift changed, and a young man took over the bar. Unfortunately, this man turned the misc on, real load! This dude was very successful in clearing the pub out, as the guests, one by one, started to leave! What some pub staff do not seem to understand is that most people would prefer to be able to have a conversation, over a few drinks, and most people do not go to pubs to listen to load music, specially in scenic and quiet little towns such as Dorchester!

This is an ex-pub which is at the moment only doing B&B and feels REALLY unloved. It’s self check-in, guided by the landlady down the phone (though mobile reception next to the key lock is poor so you have to go up the garden to ring her. Our room (at the front) was a bit poky, though my sister, who got lost, went into other rooms and said they were nicer. The upstairs landing smelled of carpet freshener. However, the woman who served breakfast in the morning was very helpful, and if you’re looking for something basic, this could suit. The location is lovely, right by the Abbey.

It's shut. There is a sign saying that the pub is closed and that they're only doing Bed and Breakfasts

Im Gebäude aus dem 15. JAHRHUNDERT fühlt man schnell den Geist der alten Zeit, vor allem durch den unebenen Böden, die schiefen Wände, die winzigen, zugigen Fenster und die vielen Winkel. Einmalig schön, man kann sich die alten Postkutschenzeiten gut vorstellen. Außerdem erwartet euch hier ein modernes Bad, Teafacilities auf den Zimmern und ein ordentliches Full English Breakfast.

A group of 6 of us meet every year for a reunion. This year we were in Dorchester-on-Thames and booked the Fleur de Lys for dinner.In summary, we did not/could not eat 4 of the 6 meals. We were offered free desserts but declined!Later discovered that there were ownership issues, trying to sell etc and no one taking responsibility.Felt very sorry for the waitress who was left between a rock and a hard place by management.

A nice Oxfordshire venue close to the Thames .Old pub premises where you can still have drink but where there is a very understated and unpretentious. The menu was in two parts. Two courses for £20 or three for £25ish.We had a choice of about u or so starters and the same number of mains. Also available is a list of pub classics such as fish and chips, ham egg and chips,fish pie and burger.These latter are the lunch menu and I had lunch with friends there last year and everything we chose was freshly cooked and delicious.

Just had our first Sunday lunch here which was superb , excellent food and great service. Will definitely be back .

We were told the pub is under threat and the locals haven't been able to ram the support to take it over. They didn't have the full menu available when we dropped in so we st stopped for a pleasant drink. It will be a pity if the village loses it.

Stayed on a Monday night. No food served on Monday!! Small room, low ceiling, creaky floorboards, but full of character. Typical English country pub. Pleasant staff. Great breakfast. Great place. Convenient for Oxford, Didcot and Abingdon. I will be back.

My wife and I chose the Fleur de Lys because of the impressive menu on their website. However, we didn’t notice that it said ‘sample menu’, when in fact the food on the night was completely different and much more basic. The burger was ok but still raw in the middle. It came back having been cooked a little more but still served on the same blood-soaked bun. A pint of beer was £3.80, which seemed a little expensive for the area. All in all a big disappointment and no apologies from the staff for the raw burger.

The food was lovely and very tasty I can recommend the vegetarian burger option. My only gripe is they seem to run out of alot of stuff

Have had a gorgeous lamb Sunday roast dinner with friends from overseas on 15 July, and was so impressed I came back with family and dog the next Sunday! Service was friendly and attentive, and they were very good about accomodating complex, multiple food allergies. The lamb on the first occasion was divine, accompanied by equally celestial roast parsnips and carrots, nicely caramelised. My guests loved the mammoth sharing Yorkshire pudding, and the vegetarians had a dreamy look as they tucked into their portobello mushrooms stuffed with goat cheese and sundried tomatoes, topped by a pesto crust. Proper, fluffy, fresh, chunky chips. Unpretentious, proper pub atmosphere, music not too loud, loos clean, kind to humans and dogs, big garden, and parking-- who could ask for anything more?

We just dropped into this place on our way through the area. A very clean and smart pub with a nice choice on the menu , all at a reasonable price . Quite a large beer garden with plenty of tables and a children's play area , although be warned it is a bit of a step from the bar area so would not advise leaving the little ones unattended .

enjoyed a good quality lunch with excellent beers all served up by cheerful staff. the pub is situated on the main street and opposite the Abbey, a popular visitor centre

Whilst staying in Dorchester for work thought we would try the Fleur de Lys, excellent food, staff were really helpful for our vegan colleague, as a group we were really impressed. Staff were really friendly and helpful and Kelly was very understanding considering we were such a large group. Highly recommend

We didn't stay or have a meal here, only a few drinks but when one of us lost a small memento in the beer garden, staff were incredibly helpful in finding it, phoning us back and arranging collection. Great service. TY

Visited Thursday for an evening meal after finding out that the original manager/chef Will had returned, and was far from disappointed! The food was excellent from presentation to taste. We will definitely be reoccurring customers from now on. There was also advertisements up for a Wednesday night supper, a set meal for only £7!!! which we will have to go to soon! So happy that the food and management is back to its full potential at the fleur.

I ordered the veggie boat, which is a huge homemade Yorkshire pudding sitting in the smallest amount of gravy possible. Filled with raw parsnips, which I guess were frozen, carrots and potatoes, and what I can only guess was cauliflower cheese! At the cost of £11.00. The staff were acted as though it was their first day. When we asked to see the sweet menu we were given hand written scraps of paper! We met friends with dogs at the pub and as a visiting guest from afar, I was very disappointed.

Planned a post concert family dinner for my wife’s 50th birthday on Saturday night. Booked first by phone, then confirmed by email. Finally my wife went in at lunchtime on the day to confirm the food order in advance. At every stage the time booked was 9pm. We arrived at 9.05 to be told that the chef had gone home at 9, and that they had recorded our booking as 8pm! After the 3 stage booking process, that was extraordinary, but the apology was cursory. There was no suggestion of any attempt to find an alternative for us; we were just lucky that the George looked after us splendidly. The management of the Fleur is clearly a shambles. Very disappointing.

My Mother lives in the village and my wife suggested we went for Sunday lunch at the fluer as we had been before and it was very good( my wife is quite fussy about her food). When we arrived the place was empty which was unusual as it was always packed, it was a nice day so a few people were sat outside. We got drinks and took a menu, before it was written on the board above the fire. We had 2 roast beef, 1 slow cooked lamb, 2fish and chips and a burger. We waited about 30 mins, my wife’s lamb was very rare for slow cooked lamb which would be well done and falling apart, she sent it back to be recooked. My beef was alright the vegetables and sides were very average. My mum ate very little of hers, the children ate there’s. We asked for a dessert menu which looked like it was quickly hand written, we passed and got the bill which was £95, very pricey for the quality and the drinks £7 for a glass of wine. We had taken people before who had said it was the best Sunday roast they had out. We latter found out a local hotel had taken over the pub for a trail period. We will not be returning!!!

Asked at the bar for GF beer ... not sure if they had any turned out not, but this set alarm bells ringing.

We were recommended the Fleur de Lys by a local for a light lunch and we were not disappointed !

The atmosphere is so amazing with fireplace a very cozy place to be. We had luck, it was snowing outside so perfect! The burger is very tasty and the chips perfect. I recommend

20 of us turned up for a light lunch after a walk by the Thames. The staff coped admirably and served up some delicious sandwiches and pints of good ale. Also made the dog very welcome!

Very good meal in a warm and cosy old pub atmosphere. The menu had enough variety to satisfy all of us and the food was very good (pork was excellent)

Myself and my partner stay here every 3/4 months on a Saturday night and it’s always amazing! The staff are lovely and friendly, the rooms are clean and tidy with all the basic amenities and the baths are beautiful! We’ve only got one room left and then we’ve stayed in them all! Will is the owner and is very hands on, he cooks all the food which is always delicious, couldn’t fault anything! Would highly recommend the lemon chicken and duck spring roll starter, never had anything like it before! Can’t wait for our next visit!

Came here with my family to celebrate my wife's birthday prior to Christmas. Not surprisingly the bar area at the front was busy with locals. Therefore as there were only two ladies behind the bar we had to wait a few minutes to be served and then confirm our table at the rear of the pub. The eating area was quite cosy, but looked festive with a big Christmas tree. It was a shame the fire wasn't on as a finishing touch.

Excellent salmon and goats cheese starters. The steaks were cooked exactly as requested. The triple cooked fries were also excellent. Nice friendly waitress. Really enjoyed this pubs food, and good value for money. Would definitely return.

I've moved to the area earlier this year and have visited the Fleur on 5-6 times over the past 6...

Excellent ham, egg and chips with a really tasty beer. A great plate full of tender ham, and beautifully crisp...

We visited this week for good and drink. The fish pie was tasty and my husband's whole place was cooked...

Really nice place lovely hosts , quirky old rooms with ensuite at reasonable rate , great breakfast and evening meal...

We needed somewhere to stay before moving on Abingdon in the morning.

We were in the area and needed lunch and although busy they accommodated us. 2 of us ordered the Sunday roast and other 2 ordered from the main menu. The food was excellent. The roast lunch was great as were the other two choices. The staff were friendly and very helpful and could not be faulted One of the best lunches we have eaten in a pub restaurant. We will return again when next in the area and can thoroughly recommend this place.

Se reunió con su familia, que estaban en la zona. Todos ordenados el asado los domingos. La cena era excelente, en asado hecho de uno de los mejores que hemos comido en un restaurante pub. El servicio también fue bueno, nos atendieron muy bien. Disfrutamos podemos recomendar este lugar.

Este es un lugar de destino para nosotros, ya que implica un viaje de 2 horas en barco por el Támesis y luego un agradable paseo cruzando un par de campos en las afueras de Dorchester y luego hacia el centro.

Four of us had dinner on a Friday early evening. The haddock fish cakes were very good as was the pork belly. The deserts were OK but the ice cream should have been home made and it was not and it was not great. The young waitress was very nice. The more mature lady running the bar needs to be more welcoming and try and smile. Businesses get repeat customers when people feel appreciated. The pub is in need of some upgrading but go for the food and not the service. Please also clean up the area behind the toilet building. Not a good look!

Trevlig personal serverar hemlagad mat, deras chips (pommes frites) är supergoda. Frukosten som ingår i boendet är fantastisk.

This pub restaurant manages to satisfy those who want a drink in a traditional pub and those who want good food, or those like me who want both. Good selection of real ales, good congenial service and hospitality. what more do you want? - good food, well you get that as well.

We were walking the Thames River Path and took a detour to visit Dorchester on Thames for lunch. We happened upon the Fleur de Lys and were served a filling lunch which was nicely presented (although my husband's "ploughman's" came with fries which was a first. Good selection of beers and friendly service. Well worth a visit.

Lovely quaint bar and restaurant in a nice little picturesque village. We went for an evening meal on a Saturday and the menu choice was extensive. The service was quite slow as there were not many staff working but we were not worried. When the food arrived it certainly was worth the wait. I opted for the Pastrami Beef Wellington with Celeriac Puree, Dauphinoise Potato, Mange Tout & Red Wine Jus which was absolutely delicious. My friend had the fillet steak and she too thoroughly enjoyed it
