Not one to share " pub reviews" but this is a honest boozer. Went for a pint and a quick gamble on the machines. Was a mistake made on cash exchange when I bought a drink and the lady serving fixed straight away. Their gambling machines broke down after a few minutes and would not pay out monies owed. The bar staff again without a hesitation turned off the machine and in trust paid off the remaining balance. For a " pub" in Abingdon I would say 100% customer service, hope they keep doing well!

It started off ok but then I found some human saliva in my beer. I also ordered some onion rings and they were undercooked to the point of probably being raw

This is the kind of pub I love. It doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. Plenty of screens if you want to watch sport. Surprisingly, they serve Lowenbrau which is an excellent beer. Limited space but pop in if you can.

This place does what it does (live sport) brilliantly. It's not to a venue to seek out for ale, but doesn't pretend to be. If you want to watch sport with good prices for most drinks and friendly service then it's ideal.

I wanted to respond to Saiduz Zaman’s review below because I was in the shop at the same time and saw what actually happened. Unfortunately, the situation has been misrepresented. Yes, there was a long queue that day. The customer himself had a large group of 12+ people and the Costa staff were clearly very busy trying to serve everyone. He placed an order for food and drinks, and we all waited for him to finish. He specifically requested that the order be consumed inside the café. A little while later, he came back and started taking several paper cups without asking the staff. The manager approached him politely to address this, but instead of listening or understanding, he immediately became aggressive. He started shouting at her and making a big scene, claiming that because he spent £90, he could do whatever he wanted. I am sure if he has communicated this during his order shouldn’t have been an issue. Let me be honest, £90 isn’t nothing, but when it’s for 12+ people in a place like Costa, it’s not exactly groundbreaking either. Acting like that amount gives you the right to treat staff however you please? That’s just wrong. You did not buy the whole Costa company and expect to do whatever you want. Things only got worse. The manager, who was visibly in tears, tried to calmly explain the policy, but he wasn’t having it. He kept yelling, bringing up how much he spent, and threatening her by demanding her name so he could write a bad review. He even accused her of discrimination, which, as someone who witnessed the entire interaction, I can confidently say was not the case. The manager was simply trying to do her job in an extremely difficult situation, and his behavior left her in tears. It was heartbreaking to see. To be clear, there was absolutely no racism or discrimination involved. In fact, none of the staff at this Costa are white British—so the claim doesn’t even make sense. The staff at this location have always been polite and professional during my visits, regardless of who they’re serving. To throw around such serious accusations because things didn’t go your way? That’s unfair and harmful. I wanted to share this because I feel for the staff who were put in such a tough spot. They work hard and deserve to be treated with respect, not shouted at or intimidated. This Costa café has always been great in my experience, and it’s sad to see an incident blown so out of proportion.

I've been coming here on and off for years. Most of the time, it's pretty good. The last time though, the Lamb Donna had to many really hard bits of something, bone maybe. Also, too much sauce turned the whole thing into slop. Maybe it was just a bad batch from the supplier.

Not great. This place gets the highest review score in Wantage, so we gave it a whirl on a Saturday night. There was one other table of 4 in an otherwise empty restaurant. Despite this, no staff approached us for 20 minutes and we had to ask if we could place our orders in the end. The food arrived half an hour later. I had King Prawn Biryani, the other half a Sag Aloo. Both were cold. Mine had lots of rice, a small bowl of biryani, 3 or 4 king prawns but MOUNTAINS of peas - not an ingredient I've even noticed in 35 years of eating the dish. Both dishes were cold, but at least the other half's tasted of Sag Aloo - mine was more like gravy than biryani. The chapatis were very thick, floury and salty and as such, inedible. We were given no opportunity to comment on the food and indeed had to approach the kitchen area to pay, such was the absence of any service. Easily the worst Indian meal I've ever had, with the worst service too.
