The Flowing Well in Vale of White Horse

Took my team out for lunch, it was fabulous.

Very quiet day, service and food was good .

Used this establishment as an overnight 'Pubstop' in our camper. Being a Monday night it was not overly busy to get a table to eat and drink. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. We are planning to come back next summer when the weather is better to take advantage of the lovely outside spaces.

A little jem we came across use as a stop over heading back to London.we had to call as sat nav went wrong and Ben was very helpful and friendly gave us the directions. If you’re in the area food was very tasty and staff were friendly and helpful Would highly recommend a visit

We called ahead as we wanted the Steak Bavette but had small (and hungry!) children with us. The staff couldn’t do enough to help us and were fantastic. We arrived to them informing us they were just plating up, and sure enough within a few moments of arriving, our piping hot food arrived. The staff were attentive, but not pushy and we really enjoyed our extended family meal here. Thanks so much for making it so easy!!

Brought my team here as a thank you. Had a brilliant time.

Lovely place, you can take your dog and it's not a problem

Six adults three children in our party. Ordered three steak platters for two. When the bill arrived we had been charged extra for two to three person platters. When this was highlighted we were told the waitress confirmed this is what we ordered and when the platters were put in front of us she said two to three platters these were completely untrue. We were also informed but you are it all . Shocking customer service I suggest you try The Chester Arms much nicer.

Amazing for gluten free - nearly all items on the standard menu are marked as non gluten as standard or as an option. Spoilt for choice!

Friendly staff and good service.

Great campervan stop over, lovely seating outside, comfy armchairs inside, food, drinks and staff were great

Amazing chips, best ever compliment to ham and egg

Went to check the pub out around midday for an evening get together and dinner for a group of 10 the following week but was not greatly impressed with the venue. The building and especially the deck area out front was very tired looking and the bar area looked a bit basic. I decided against booking.

Nice setting, shame the atmosphere is not as equally nice. Asked for a quiet table, was placed in a loud part of the restaurant. Ask for another table and told none available all booked, very busy. But plenty of other free tables free. Food is not great either. Fish cake was salty and lacking other flavours. Poached egg was dry. For pudding, we had the lemon tart, this was over sweet and dry, did not come with cream or ice cream, disappointing I guess it is a pub geared more for a family set up rather. I will say the kitchens accommodated my dietary restrictions which I am thankful. I would not recommend this pub if you are going for a romantic date night or special occasion as a couple. Hopefully other couples have had better experiences and this was a one off. I will not be returning

Excellent lunch, quick service. Dogs are very welcome - lots of water bowls on the patio.

The food is average, I would select another place the next time.

A nice pub with considerable outdoor space and warm cozy interior. Food was disappointing- the £16 (mains) chicken salad was the size of a starter and not filling in the least. Smoked chicken felt it came from a £3-4 shrink-wrapped package from any supermarket.

Stopped in for lunch meal and drinks. No longer a Greene King pub, run independently. Food was really good, proper stone bake pizza, and great burgers! Would stop in again if passing!

Sadly as an ex resident I must report a negative opinion. pre ordered food took an hour to come, burgers were overcooked. fish and chips were better but still had to go to bar to ask for condiments. Seriously guys and sorry for the feedback, you cannot trade on location alone, try harder .

We had a lovely family evening meal. Great food and friendly atmosphere.

Good pub with fair priced quality food and friendly staff

Limited menu, unless you're going for burgers or pizza

When you think of pubs that serve food all day, you would inevitably question its quality. But this pub hidden in the middle of a village is nothing short of a magnificent experience. The tranquility of the residential vibes and the occasional church bells you hear as you enjoy its fantastic food made this trip so wholesome. Who would have thought I’d rate their fish and chips as possibly the best one I’ve ever had, even with a lot of them from many coastal destinations known for their catch of the day. This pub needs to know they are doing everything right and the chefs deserve a very well deserved salutation from a grateful customer. Thank you and please keep up the great work.

The veggie burgers are the best thing i have ever tasted. Would highly recommend

Came here today for Easter Sunday. Roast Lamb Shank was amazing and I really enjoyed the mini egg Pavlova. Staff were exceptional and I would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again soon.

Fabulous sharing steak platter. Divine pavlova! Friendly, efficient service.

Best boozer I've been in for a long time we felt welcomed but not just by the manager and staff the locals also. Definitely a good watering hole which we will become regulars. p.s the food looked amazing

Lovely staff, lovely food - what more could you want.

Very pleasant and helpful staff👍

Big disappointment as this was a family celebration of 15 people, service was really poor, no one was checking on us, have to look for members of stuff everytime, smile and better attitude to the job would be appreciated.I have worked in hospitality for many years and this wasn't a kind of service l would expect.Food was fine some things overcooked .Way to hot inside,no one was willing to help with it either.

The pub didn't look great from the outside, but the food was amazing! I had the classic burger which was succulent and tasty, and my partner had one of their home made Chicken & Chorizo Pies which looked amazing and tasted great. The service was super friendly and helpful from all of the staff we spoke to. As we were leaving we saw two other people that had ordered the steak sharing platter - we kind of feel that we need to go back to experience that at some point, even though the pub is around an hour from where we live. The dog was welcomed too!

Great place to meet the extended family for lunch. The food was very good and the desserts super generous. We did book ahead and were pleased we did.

The most friendly traditional pub. Great outside area and gardens. Always feel welcome

We had lovely dinner on valentines day with our best friends here we again ❤️

One of the best pies I’ve ever had!

Great service great fish and chips

Great food, nice atmosphere and the steak is DIVINE! Highly recommend the steak sharing platter.

Food was ok, plenty of it. Some elements didn’t appear to be home made but still good quality. Roast Beef was tough but tasted good. Staff were efficient and service good. Lovely venue. Unfortunately was cold due to boiler broken would have been good to know prior to going as would have worn thicker jumpers. Hence 2 stars for atmosphere otherwise would have been a solid 4.

We had walked from Abingdon with two very grumpy toddlers and a dog to find we had booked the wrong dining area! The dog-friendly area was full but, seeing the desperate faces on the parents, the staff were able to find us a spot. The service was great and the food was excellent - best chicken burger ever! Thanks so much to all the staff who made a stressful day out a little more bearable!

We had our work Christmas party here recently. The staggered incredibly friendly, food was great. Can't comment on the prices, as the company paid...

Went in for lunch. The staff are all really friendly and welcoming. I'd say it was a poor day in the kitchen. I chose a classic burger - it was very over cooked and dry. I didn't say anything at the time so my fault. Anyway, maybe I'll try again another time.

Lovely place, great food and lovely atmosphere. Staff are great too!

Very miserable and rude staff when I rang about a booking

Lovely place with great food and good customer service. The only issue is that the place needs a slope for wheelchairs and others who can not use the steps

Great stop off for drinks during a walk

Had a lovely work meal here, held in a separate section of the pub. Food was delicious, Diet Coke tasted a little odd and had some difficulty achieving “no ice” on a not particularly warm evening, but otherwise the service was great: both friendly and attentive. Really enjoyed the meal overall and would gladly return in the future with my family. That’s partly because I wanted the cheesecake for pudding, so did my colleague next to me, and there was only one left! I think she enjoyed it and I had a very nice Black Forest profiterole instead. For main, I had the classic burger and fries that were both spot on. The side of onion rings were the pre-made ones with the oniony doughy stuff in the middle rather than slices of onion, so I wouldn’t order those again, but appreciate that could well be a personal choice aspect and it didn’t take away from the overall very pleasant visit.

lovely place great environment. had the haddock, cheddar cheese and spring onion fishcake - absolutely delicious, especially with the poached egg on top - wow. right up there with the White Bear, Kennington, London scotch eggs. loved it

Well worth a visit..I arrived tired and frazzled..had a quick nap wash and change then went in for the best fish chips n mushy peas I've had in a long time..plus a fine pint of Guinness and think any of the meals on their extensive menu would be just as tasty👍Staff were friendly (as were the locals) and helpful and premises were clean. I stayed overnight in the car park and had an excellent quiet night. Please note stopovers Monday-Thursday only as so busy.

Should serve outside as seemed to have enough staff

Amazing, definitely coming back

£5.80 for a Guinness! The pub and garden are nice but the staff are a bit miserable. The landlord did not accommodate our request to burst a gender reveal ballon (with biodegradable tissue confetti, and with a large blanket down to catch it). Went to the Crown and Thistle in Abingdon for better service after just one drink.

Great pub in a beautiful village. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Food is amazing too!

Been here to eat a number of times and never had a bad meal, food absolutely wonderful, would recommend 100% looking forward to coming again.

Excellent food staff polite and helpfull

Poor service and no customer care. Finally ended up Walking out after food order got messed up which was the final straw after having a whole glass of red wine split over me and I booked a table to be seated in the restaurant area and was seated in the bar area! Very poor and won’t be going back!

A lovely evening sat outside for dinner, we opted for the sharing platter for 3-4 people which ,according to their menu, is a “Butcher’s Cut Bavette Steak Cooked Medium-rare” There were 3 of us and we took home some leftovers (but not much) If you think the photo looks good i can promise that it tastes better; cooked and seasoned perfectly this is one of the best steak dishes you will find on Oxfordshire The side dishes do sometimes change with the seasons which makes it a good repeat dish to order and a favourite of ours. What’s more both the chips an onion rings could be GF for one of our party too Only thing to note is that this dish does take a while to prepare, so don’t arrive here too hungry.

Nice village pub, very popular with locals and outsiders who know about it.

Absolutely incredible food. I had the pulled pork bap with gluten free bun. Was honestly the best gluten free meal I’ve had since finding out I have coeliac disease. Partner had fish and chips which again was really good. All around, perfect lunch out!

Lovely place. Food was delicious and pretty reasonable place

Good bar staff but we were shocked at price of food for what you got. A £20 platter was tiny!

Service was very good. Had some starters and the Atomic Burger. Garlic bread was 50% just bread. Chicken wings were good. Atomic burger was spicy and tasty but also dry, so needed lots of extra sauce to eat it. Chips were good. Had a glass of prosecco which was very tasty. Desert menu was very limited and the options were unappealing, so had desert at home instead.

Unfortunately, I had to demote my original review after attending today. Our waitress made us feel like a problem from the get-go and didn't seem interested in serving us. Next, we have roasts, a chicken supreme, and topside of beef. The chicken was extremely small dry, and the roast itself was not generous. We had no table check back and couldn't order more drinks with our food because of this. Stale roast potatoes and Yorkshire. and gravy quite watery

Manager surly when we arrived as a big booking. One of the guests accidentally ordered a meal she was allergic to and was told she had to pay for it and he took the plate away. Coffee served up and plonked in front of me and I didn’t order it. The burgers were dry with the minimum of filling or one slice of tomato chorizo. Too embarrassed to complain as someone else was paying but would not go back. However, the very young waitress was a delight.

Excellent place nice helpful and friendly staff

Would return for a drink but not the food. Awful experience with the food and service. Disappointed as on frequenting for a drink previously the atmosphere was good and we enjoyed our evening. But last night the service was more or less non existent and my food was inedible the chips were greasy and contained very little potato ate two chips but it left an awful taste in my mouth of just grease.

A pleasant pub with outdoor seating and friendly staff.

Food was excellent, large portions, value for money and staff helpful and friendly.

Excellent meal and fast service.

Pleasant service. Lovely food that is not pub chain fodder. Some vegetarian options. Never seen so many gluten free options, both main course and desserts. 2 cask ales. Nice pub. They permit one motorhome to stay overnight in their car park if using the pub.

A good all-round place to eat. Warm atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food - though a long wait for the main course. Reasonably priced and family friendly, with plenty of outside tables for nice weather too. Toilets were nothing special but clean and well-maintained, which is always a good sign. Menu is classic British pub food with burgers, pizza, steak etc with the option of sweet potato fries instead of regular chips. Good range of vegetarian options, and nice dessert menu if you've got room for it!

Countryside family friendly gastro pub. Excellent food in lovely indoor and outdoor dining areas. Great service. Fair prices. Two course meal with drink approx £25pp.

Lovely location. Good food at reasonable price. Pleasant service. Outside terrace.

Not eaten at the Flowing Well for quite some time, and it's good to be able to report that we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Food was great, seating area inside very comfortable, and service excellent. Some of the dishes we had were: lamb shank roast, roast beef, fish & chips, harissa mackerel. Daughter gave the Mackerel dish 9/10. Lamb was lovely and tender. Strawberry and pear crumble went down well too It was very much appreciated that some of the dishes e.g the F&C's, were available as smaller portion options. Minor point, but the smaller portion beef roast was served on a plate which was not large enough. Price / head for drinks, mains, some desserts/ coffees, before tip, was £22-ish. Definitely be back. Bonus is a nice walk from Abingdon.

Quality food, excellent service.

Franchement on a beaucoup aimé ce pub! Il est très beau, un feu avec de beaux fauteuils cosy, chaleureux et le personnel est très serviable. On a bien mangé : le plat de viandes à partager très copieux et bon. Nous étions en camping-car et ils nous ont autorisé à passer la nuit sur le parking comme ça on a pu goûter leurs bonnes bières ! Merci 😊

Lovely place to relax and have a simple drink or food. The steak platter is a must for any meat eater. Summer evenings are the best.

Good food and excellent service. Recommend booking if going as a group, as they can get pretty busy. Will definitely be back.

great food friendly staff most helpful highly recommended and dog friendly

I've eaten twice at this pub and both times the food has been excellent. The venison pie was exceptional ( Local Venison from Sunningwell).

Tòp quality food, best in the area

Amazing service and fantastic staff

Very friendly pub and delicious food! Yum!!! 🤗

We had a beautiful meal and enjoyed the calm atmosphere and friendly staff very much.

Met with friends for a catch up and a Christmas meal. The food was amazing and the setting comfortable. The staff and the service were wonderful too. Will definitely head back there again.

Awesome service and a delicious calzone!

Warm and friendly welcome attentive staff and quality food worth the walk will be going again

Delicious food time and time again

Fitted us in on a cold Saturday evening early and at the last minute. Friendly and excellent service, delicious food.

First time here. The steak platter was huge and very good. Friendly and attentive service. Will be coming again

Exalent food and service Highly recommended

Atmosphere was friendly, staff where very helpful, food was very nice, will definitely return.

Always excellent. First came here back in January 2020. Been here multiple times since and never been disappointed. Steak sharing platter is always the go to meal and is well worth it.

Good place to meet up with friends. Nice big outside space with lits of tables. Always a warm welcome. Have had a great Sunday Lunch & meals here too.

I had my partners birthday on the 8th October 18 of us and the service was excellent and delicious food . Thank you to the flowing well team and David fletcher

Bello lugar, excelente comida y atención

We called in as a party of 17 nothing was a problem and we were looked after superbly. Our orders were seen to after we were served our drinks and a good chat around the tables, what we had was excellent for the price, certainly worth a visit if in the area.

Great food and excellent service. Lovely little location too.

Lovely food, a wonderful afternoon out

Lovely place, Great food, Great service.

Very nice pub with lots of space, good food and delightful staff. I didn't think the portions were over generous but it was very tasty.
