A very nice restaurant, the ambiance is great and a good selection on the menu. The staff is friendly and helpful. I had the sausages and my partner the burger, they were locally sourced and had a great flavour. Could totally see that the pub is using g local ingredients, a great plus.

As a family we have been to this pub many times and always enjoyed it. We went as a family today and have never been treated like we did today. We ordered our lunch and we ordered 2 plates of squid and seaweed and 2 plates of King Prawns and sausage. They bought out the squid and said sorry but we have no seaweed so we said why didn't they tell us but no explanation. When they bought out the King Prawns we said what are they and they insisted they were King Prawns. We said we would not pay for them because they were just ordinary prawns. We asked to speak to the manager and the cook but they said no manager. They took 1 of the party to the bar and asked us to leave. Don't know what has happened to the place. The manager was such a nice pleasant man. So we went to the Windrush just down the road and had a beautiful carvery for half there prices

We have been here several times over the years but this visit was our last. The vegetarian options were disappointing and they always grew their own vegetables as much as they could in the kitchen garden, but when we had a walk around this time, the area was overgrown and neglected. Food was ok but nothing special. Staff were friendly enough but when we asked for the high service charge to be removed as we were entitled to, their mood changed and they became very rude, Not sure where the original manager/owner and staff have gone but we won’t be returning.

The Horse & Radish, is not only an unusual and unique name, but it is also a very special place to go and have lunch or dinner. My partner and I have visited this quintessential Cotswold pub many times and trust me, for that to happen, it has to be continually on point. On a lovely sunny day, it is the best place to take in an unrivalled view of the Windrush valley, especially if you're sat outside on the delightful patio. Indoors is beautifully laid out and the decor, along with the mood of the venue, makes for a very comfortable atmosphere to enjoy the excellent food and sample some nice wines too. The staff are attentive, friendly and keen to make sure that you're looked after. The menu is seasonal and the Sunday Roast is to die for. If you're visiting the area, then I can't encourage you enough to check out this great place. If you're in the neighbourhood and you haven't visited yet, then what are you waiting for!

We arrived looking forward to the meal as we had been for mothered day and it was lovely . The evening started with us having to ask for our order to be taken after 45 mins of waiting . Then a further half an hour for starters, then a ridiculous 45 mins till main , by this point I had sat at the table an hour and a half without eating as I was just having a main . After complaining we got a couple of bottles of wine , but still one meal was forgotten and took another 10 minutes to arrive and 3 of the 10 meals were awful , not £22 or £18 worth at all !!! We sent 2 meals back as inedible , all over a terrible experience. Will not return !!!

We had three Sunday roasts which were lovely, and a mushroom risotto which was also lovely but the risotto portion size was very disappointing. Main course service was great but we had to wait a long time for our deserts and needed to ask our waitress to chase them up. When ordering panna cotta, we were not advised that there would be no raspberries as described on the menu. When queried, the manager gave a valid reason why they were not served but it would be courteous to let us know before ordering and maybe add some additional strawberries instead. One of our guests requested a lemonade and was presented with a 200ml bottle and glass. Surely if somebody requests lemonade they would like a long drink not a mixer. When we received the bill there was an optional 12.5% service charge added. This is disappointing as most people do not like to ask for this to be removed. I would normally tip 10% if I was satisfied and paying the bill. 12.5% is too steep. Had I been paying the bill and not one of my guests I would have queried this “optional” charge. Overall the food was good, but some of the service and charging was poor.

We live locally and have been quite a few times—always a lovely experience. We visited for Sunday lunch earlier today. As always, beautiful setting, very friendly and attentive staff, and the food was absolutely delicious. When we had finished they brought over some pigs in blankets for our dog, then a massive takeaway box of leftover beef for our dog as service had finished (might be stealing it for our sandwiches instead of giving it to him 😂). Would 100% recommend visiting the Horse and Radish—one of the best Sunday lunches around Witney.

Arrived for Sunday lunch unaware the lease holders were back running the pub.Also the expensive prices had also returned unfortunately.Some lovely polite very young staff,who were also very inexpierienced,but did their best.. For the price of £24 I would have expected more from my lunch than I received. 3 miniscule roast potatoes,and beef that was tasteless IMO. Adding insult to injury a 12.5% service charge was added to our bill. Easy to see why we will not be returning !!

Long wait for very average food. My lamb was inedible it was full of fat and gristle. I ate the potatoes while I waited to get the waiters attention and then sent it back to the kitchen. My meal was promptly returned to me telling me I had eaten the best bit of the lamb and that London restaurant prices would be charged if they removed the gristle….! Unbelievable response! Complained again when paying the bill and we were then given a free bottle of Prosecco! Too little too late!

Disappointed to discover that Sally and Patrick had suddenly left the Horse and Radish, almost cancelled booking but glad I did not.Lunch was very good,young waiting staff very good nothing too much trouble. Yorkshire pudding filled with shredded meat a brilliant addition to a Sunday lunch. Will return when in the area.

Just back from having a late lunch here. Firstly they hadn’t made up a table for us so we had to wait. Then when the meals came they were all luke warm. My roast beef was red. It looked like they had blow torched the edges but not cooked it. There were 3 tiny quarter potatoes which were nice but cold, I would say an 1/8th of a parsnip which was greasy an ok Yorkshire pudding and that was all sat upon a yellow smear of something on the plate. The gravy was thin and tangy and there was a bowl of seasonal vegetables separately but no spoon to dish with. My friends didn’t want to complain about their meals but i pointed out to a male server that the meals were cold and the beef uncooked I was told the beef was cooked 3 times then they warm it up here and he offered to warm it up went away came back 30 seconds later and the food wasn’t any warmer but he did remove the cost of my meal. Then came dessert and on each of our desserts the ice-cream was totally melted and when my friend who was only having ice cream asked for a frozen scoop she was told all the vanilla was melted but they had other flavours that weren’t. When she got her replacement it had been defrosted and then frozen again as there were ice crystals in it. My friends desert looked lovely but then we noticed there were bugs crawling on her plate so they took it away and replated it but didn’t offer to change it completely so she didn’t eat it. Our desserts were removed from the bill because of the melted ice cream. Throughout every course I had to chase for service at the bar and to ask for the bill as the service apart from the 1 female member of staff on duty was non existant. All in all it’s fair to say that I will never eat here again as this was the worst meal I have ever half eaten and I really don’t expect to be let down like that by a restaurant on what is a rare meal out for me.

This is the worst meal and service we have ever had in a restaurant. Booked a table for 5.30 on 6th April for 15 people. To start with there were no menu's they had to print some of, eventually got them at 7pm. With 5 hungry children eventually getting their meal at 8pm when the adults meals came out it was inedible all went back. Will not be returning.

We read the recent low reviews, but as we were in the area decided to give it a go. Wish we hadn't. Witnessed 10/12 meals being returned to the kitchen during our short lunch and wishing we were somewhere else, where our business would be appreciated. Zero customer service including from a young, ineffective manager in scruffy jeans swaggering around. Had to ask for the bill twice and after another 10 minutes wait, the card machine 2 times. No hesitation in removing the 10% service charge added automatically to our bill. Perhaps station a manager to properly meet & greet customers and look after them during their visit and also invest in some staff training.

Once is enough! Quality of food for the price poor - insipid boiled potatoes disguised as roasts, parboiled and dipped in oil do not qualify as roast potatoes Wine overpriced for the quality Sparkling water overpriced Young inexperienced staff Management non existent Service levels well below par During our 90 minutes we experienced an unhealthy number of meals being returned to the kitchen, which is worrying Anne-Marie Brian - your leadership skills are appalling, I’ve never spoken to an owner before and been so rudely ignored. We waited over 20 minutes for a response from you and in the end had to interrupt another discussion you were having with a mate to say ‘goodbye, we’re leaving, wait for our review’ Of course none of this feedback is a surprise to you, we did tell you today before leaving. Sadly you walked past us numerous times without addressing our concerns.

My booking was for 3, and it was joint birthday meal for my parents. The table we were shown to, was a big table with one side folded down, but this was unsuitable, leaving one chaired cramped by a wall and another chair on the edge of a stairway to a lower level. Once ordered, our meals three roast beefs were quickly brought to our table. My Mum's beef was paper thin, stringy, and fatty, in fact uneatable. We all had under cooked hard vegetables, and my Mum could not eat anything on her plate. I spoke to a pleasant and friendly waitress about this and after looking at my Mum’s plate agreed and asked if she wanted a replacement, which she declined, and instead I asked for a reduction on the bill for 2 meals instead of 3, and this was agreed. Instead of a celebratory meal it turned out to be a very underwhelming and frustrating experience. Friendly and helpful waitresses, but at £20 a meal, the kitchen should be doing better than this. We will not be returning in the future, Darren Bennion.

Liked the pub with its decor. Service was good - so didn't object to the service charge that's on the bill anyway, but if the service hadn't of been good that would have awkward for me as a customer - to ask not to be charged which isn't good. Ordered the fish and chips - it was OK what let it down was the triple cooked chips, they were no way triple cooked or even looked like a chip just more like having a normal small potato which was a little of an odd combo. My wife had the pie - the pie looked good and was full of meat but just something that let the dish down was the amount of garlic left on the plate. Ordered the desserts they were good.

I would agree with other reviewers that the food is of an excellent quality - but I cannot agree with what many are saying about the service. We booked for 12.30pm and it was busy, as you might expect at that time. Not sure if they had been let down by staff but there were not enough waiting staff and the service was incredibly slow and incomplete. We had to wait some time for our order to be taken, then a long wait for food. Most of the group of 6 of us ordered the roast lunch but had to ask, and wait, for horseradish sauce and apple sauce - then to be told we don't have much horseradish as we are running out! No one came to check that the food was ok, or ask if we wanted more drinks. We had to sit with dirty plates for some time before we were asked if we wanted pudding. I think the waiting staff may not have been sufficiently trained as each time they visited the table to bring food etc they didn't use the opportunity to remove empty bottles/glasses etc and the gravy jugs remained on the table throughout the pudding service. We asked for the bill, which came quickly, followed up very swiftly with the card machine as they told us they needed the table! Given that it had taken 3 hrs from start to finish (2 courses) due to the slow service that felt a bit rich to imply we had outstayed our time! We didn't have time to check the bill until we got home and found that we had been charged £10.69 (an odd amount?) for the apple crumble which was on the bill for £9.50. Possibly a typo? But as I say we were not given time to check the bill over before needing to pay/move. So in summary good food let down by a slow and inattentive service.

Fish Friday so some lovely specials available as well as regular menu, soft shell crab and prawns starter was especially delicious, others on the table said fish and chips were the best they'd had. Kitchen also decorated dessert plate with "happy birthday" which was a lovely touch. Thank you for a great night!

I ordered the Salt baked beetroot, golden beetroot, walnut & goats cheese risotto, watercress dressing, burnt onion puree; Where ti start - the flavours worked really well together, resulting in an utterly enjoyable meal. My partner had the slow roasted pressed belly pork, black pudding mash, smoked leek, tender stem broccoli, apple jus; the pork was cooked to perfection, the black pudding mash a nice twist on normal mash potatoes. Highly recommend a visit - we’ll certainly be working our way through the menu!

Lovely pub and atmosphere/ambience. Very dog friendly. Nice views from the back and a place to stretch the dogs legs. Friendly young waitress. We enjoyed our food (my mussels and the desserts especially) however be aware the menu online isn’t the same as the menu in the restaurant. While it does say online ‘sample menu’ I feel it would be easy enough to update it, or at the very least publish the current menu on Facebook. It would have been a huge issue had our daughter/my mother been with us. As it was just myself and husband, it was a slight issue. I do have a query which hopefully they will address on the menu. He ordered the lamb koftas (only thing he fancied when given the current menu, as opposed to the couple things he fancied on the online sample menu 🙂). They are served with like a cold tomato salad. He said he thought it was ok, would have preferred rice or fries, but when we asked for the menus for dessert I noticed there was a V and VG sign next to the dish which we hadn’t noticed before. This usually indicates it’s not real meat therefore vegans can order it. The fact it was served solely with salad now has me thinking it was vegan. However as there was no description of it being not real meat on the menu we were quite confused. He was a bit annoyed as we are passionate meat eaters and very anti-vegan, so it was an issue potentially to have fake meat, and at £24. I wanted to mention something at the time, he didn’t. I would still recommend, but please can the horse and radish clarify on their current menu for future customers what exactly the lamb koftas are made from or if they are indeed V or VG, and ensure your website/Facebook page is updated with correct menus going forwards.

Phoned late to get a 3.30 table and very pleased they could fit us in for a roast. Have been here once before a long time ago and remembered the fantastic views. I had quails eggs starter with celery salt and my husband had a fantastic 3 veg soup. A Timothy Taylor pint went down well on a warm day. We then had roast pork which was very good indeed. Well presented with attention to detail. Lovely veg and gravy. We like to think we are roast dinner connoisseurs as have eaten a fair few in our lifetime (cooked even more) and this was right up there! We couldn't find room for a pud which was a shame as the sticky toffee looked great. We are planning to take family there again soon.

Horse & Radish was recommended to us by some locals and it did not disappoint. Excellent menu, delicious food and incredible service. The host is friendly and knowledgable about the food and local area and we felt like regulars. Can’t fault a thing!

We visited the Horse and radish just before Christmas and we had the delicious 3 course Christmas menu, the pig cheeks were excellent and the brownie was delicious to! Even without the Christmas menu a great visit and a must for those visiting around Oxfordshire/Witney.

We went here to get a little desert as we have been to this cafe before and saw it had quite a good range of gluten free options.They didn’t have much left in stock so we were lucky to get what we got.The gluten free cookies were delicious,tasted really fresh and like they were homemade.Also the cake was really lovely too and tasty.They clearly list the allergens of the product on the screen protector thing behind the cakes.Also tell them about any allergies when ordering.I believe their menu is 100% vegan too.The toilets were really clean too.

We loved it. Perfection location and the quintessential English pub. Outstanding food and service and the ambiance, decor is so wonderful. The highlight of our Cotswolds trip. Near to Jeremy Clarksons new pub as well so this little area is the perfect spot for a weekend spent in the pub. Well done Swan.

Been coming to the YS since 3 or so years now and the Coffee and Hot Chocolate are still smooth and excellent…coupled with the best Toasted Ham and Cheese in Oxfordshire it’s a wonderful combination. When you also consider the superb work they do in training youngsters with learning difficulties it’s truly a Cafe full of heart and soul, served by ever smiling Baristas. Can’t recommend it highly enough, money and time very well spent indeed !
