Booked table for 5 in advance. Roasts were OK but vegetables cold and had to be reheated. Veg lazagna tasted like a microwave meal. Chef came out to apologise and offered a free dessert but to be honest we just wanted to leave. Restaurant was empty, so food should've been better.

We went for a family friends meal. Limited on the beers on tap as they had run out, toilets could be nice but aren’t (soap dispenser broken &bin), weeds out at the front and tables are a bit 1990’s. The food was actually ok. If I was being really harsh I’d say staff need to be a little friendlier as the place was empty

We visited with friends and family and enjoyed two lovely evening meals. The pub is warm and inviting and, the host and staff were welcoming and accommodating. The food was perfectly cooked and delicious. There were minor menu adjustments each evening, highlighting the freshness of food. I would certainly visit again if we are in the area.

We rented a bungalow in Curbridge for a week and found this lovely pub,so good we used it twice! It had a roaring log burner and we were made very welcome by the host/chef. The menu is short (which in my view is a good thing - lovely freshly cooked food!) The first night I had the delicious moules & frit, a huge portion of tasty mussels in a lovely cream sauce and today I had an excellent home-made burger. Other member of the group enjoyed a superb lamb shank and hand battered haddock & chips. The service was friendly and attentive and I lived nearby, I would certainly be a regular! I hope the locals are supporting it - use it or lose it!!

Our family were all meeting up for a pre Christmas get together and booked Sunday lunch. The food and service was excellent. In particular the range and quality of vegetables which accompanied the roast dinners. The house wine is also to be recommended. We were impressed by how much the service team seemed to care that we were enjoying the meal and the chef even can out to make sure that everything was OK. Excellent meals at reasonable prices.

A family group of us arrived for Sunday lunch having booked through Open Table. We were shocked to hear that they had no knowledge of the booking and claimed they hadn’t taken over the pub till recently and no longer use Open Table. (Despite us having received both a confirmation and a reminder from Open Table). However they fitted us in at a table in the bar and took our drinks and meal orders. We had a bit of a wait but understandable on a Sunday when we weren’t expected. The food was quite good but could have been improved. The plates needed heating up to a higher temperature as the food cooled very quickly; a sharp knife would have been useful for the admittedly thick slices of meat as it was difficult to cut with the knives supplied. I would have liked to have been supplied or at least offered a jug of gravy on the table. There was gravy on the plate but by the time we’d realised there was no extra supplied it was a bit late to request more. On the plus side the quantities were generous and lots of variety of veg. Despite sitting with empty plates in front of us it was a long time before our table was cleared and we sat in expectation of a waitress returning and offering us desserts but it never happened, and no-one around to ask them. We felt as if we had been totally forgotten so in the end we queued up at the bar to get our bill. It was a shame that a basically good meal was spoilt by a few shortcomings; it wouldn’t have taken too much for this to be a much better review

17 of us went for Sunday lunch, the roasts we gorgeous and plentiful. The team there had 3 large parties in at the same time and we’re so professional and accommodating. We sat in the bar area over two tables next to the log burner and it was just a truly wonderful experience. We’re from all over the UK and met up centrally for a long weekend break, the highlight of the holiday was Sunday lunch. Thank you again to the entire team for looking after us and a massive well done to the chef for presenting us with such delicious and perfectly cooked offerings. We would all highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

We booked a roast for a large group of us and were told they could only do 12 o’clock. We also had to preorder as we were a large group. When we arrived, the landlord was unwelcoming gave us the impression that us being there was a huge inconvenience. Despite preordering, our food wasn’t served until 1 o’clock. The potatoes had been mainly boiled and could’ve done with another 20-30 minutes in the oven. Overall it was a really disappointing roast but also probably the most expensive roast I’ve had. The waitresses however were lovely and really accommodating.

After 3 -4 long long months of liaising with Dane for a party of 17 people for a 50th birthday celebrations I was totally disappointed. The rest of the restaurant was empty and all food had been pre ordered weeks before we arrived. Every week even up until the day Dane was changing all the food items making excuses up each time and then on the night 45 minutes before our taxi was due that he wanted to deliver our desserts to our accommodation the next day and decided to shut his kitchen. He has not replied to my formal email of complaint arms charged us £42.50 service charge!! He spent the night drinking at the bar and we later found out the waiter was not employed but had been asked to help out. Aggressive to party members when asked if we could have our desserts. Over £1000 spent that evening for cold and very late service. Table booked for 7.30 no starters until 20.05 then order was wrong. Main course came out 2 by 2 and were cold. People had finished their main and 4 people still awaiting gammon to which they stated they hadn’t even started cooking.would not recommend at all. Greene king informed but they state it is not owned by them so they cannot address the complaint fully but the landlord is equally not interested but I suppose when you’ve had a £1000 why would you

We came as a group of 12 after staying at the Cotswold Manor Estate on a girls weekend for a Sunday lunch before returning home. The owner, who’s wife and son work in the kitchen was so friendly and accommodating. The service is top notch, with nothing too much to ask. The roast (between us had the whole menu - beef, chicken, pork and nut roast!) and it was absolutely delicious. Every single one of us finished our plate, or if we didn’t it was wrapped up to take home! And the gravy was to die for!!! So much flavour and was unlimited! The chefs definitely know what they are doing! If we are ever back this way we will be returning!

Wasn't too sure what we were walking into when we turned up, garden was a bit mishmash. But the service and food was exceptionally. The knowledge and passion from the owner made for an excellent evening. Menu had lots of options (not always common at the moment), all reasonably priced. We had a dairy intolerance in our party and they were very accommodating, happy to swap out items so we could have what we actually wanted - not only the items marked vegan. Had an extensive wine list and the owner was VERY knowledgeable about everything and made great recommendations. Unfortunately we aren't local and we're only visiting the area, otherwise we would become regulars. Highly recommend.

We were visiting the area for the weekend and found this pub on Saturday evening via open table, looked at the menu online and thought we would give it ago. WOW what a find! Great menu choices all freshly cooked, who would have thought you could have a burger topped with Chili con Carne! the Salmon fillet with the saffron sauce was amazing. With a large selection of wines, the owner recommended an Italian wine which we would never had chosen, but was fabulous, so much we ordered a second bottle. Thank you all for making our evening one to remember, great food and service, shame we don’t live closer but will certainly be back when in the area again.

Firstly, let me make it clear, I fully appreciate the hard time the hospitality industry has experienced through lock down and, we as customers have missed the nights going out for supper etc. So when an establishment re-opens you would expect it to looking it’s best. The food was ok, pretty basic in fact, you get more at macdonalds, but the burger was well cooked just like the chips. However, the seating was dirty, with flaking paint, the whole garden area really looked unloved. What had they been doing during lock down? It wasn’t any maintenance to the garden area that was certain. Then the bill, tried charge us nearly £13 for a glass of average red. When you eat out, whether it is fish and chips, burger or fine dining you are also paying for the establishment and here it definitely was not worth it. My suggestion is that they roll up their sleeves like so many establishments have during the lock down period and make a visitors visit memorable for the right reasons.

We stopped in here for lunch yesterday as a party of 4 adults and 2 children. I have 2 allergies from the top 14 allergen list and normally have no problem eating out as pretty much all restaurants generally have very comprehensive allergen menus or folders. When I enquired about this at the Lord Kitcheners (as suggested on the menu and signage) I was told by the owner that no, they don't have any information at all. Thai left me with having to go through each menu item with the managed to check if it was likely to have dairy or soya in. The whole experience of ordering food then becomes about not choosing something because I like it but because I think I know what the components are and whether or not it was likely to have one of my allergens in. Nightmare. Especially when trying to organise food for 2 children at the same time. Of it wasn't for the storm we would have just left at that point. In fact, we wished we had as the food took a very long time to arrive which we hadn't been warned about. When the food did eventually arrive it was very good, but unfortunately we were all a bit fed up by then. Also, the kids meals were supposed to come with pudding bit nothing was mentioned after their dinners so this was forgotten about. All in all we left feeling quite disappointed and we won't be returning.

I had the Beef Wellington, others in the party had the traditional Roast Turkey, there was also a vegetarian option.

We booked to come here as a group for my Hen Party, we were offered the private room with the option for karaoke which we decided would be a great idea. We booked months in advance, all choosing our meals in advance as requested. The table was booked for 1930, we had been asked to arrive before that as the food would be served promptly at 1930 so that we could make the most of the evening and karaoke. By 2020 we still hadn't been spoken to by any staff other than when we were seated, we bought our drinks at the bar. At 2030 one of our group went to the bar to ask what was going on with the food, we were told that one of their ovens were broken and they were sorry. We appreciate that things happen but we were not kept informed at all. One of our group is gluten free, which they say on their menu they cater for, it was a bread and olive board, when this arrived the "bread" that was offered was a poorly presented bagel that was still frozen in the middle. The rest of the food ordered was fine, although the portion sizes differed greatly.

After the main course it took ages to get dessert menus and then ages to order and then again a long wait for the deserts to come. When they arrived they were delicious.

Meal was booked for 12.30 and there was just 1 couple eating when we arrived, we were seated straight away and ordered drinks,it then went down hill very quickly. No milk with the tea then we sat there for half an hour waiting for someone to take our order we then waited another half an hour for our meal before we chased it up, my partner asked the manager how long it would be as our 3 year old and 16 week old baby had had enough, the manager came back and said that our order that she had taken off us had not been placed with the kitchen. Again no offer of fresh drinks, I then spoke to the owner who seated us about how long it was taking he then came back and said pies take 25 mins and walked off, no apologies at all. Nobody offered us another drink since we arrived. We finally got our meals just before 2 o'clock after they rushed our order through, wrong chips and none of us ate the peas but the pies and fish were very nice. I cant blame chef i think the owner and the rest of the front of house ( owner mainly very arrogant man) put a obviously good chef under undue pressure. We most certainly will not be returning.

We were a group of 15 of all ages and really enjoyed our time here. We had a private room and were served quickly from a menu with a good variety on offer. We had great fun and laughs using the karaoke machine until near 11am!! Warm welcome and everything eaten up with delight. Very pleased

Stopped by for dinner midweek (it’s closed on Mondays so be aware!) they’ve made a few tweaks to the menu. I love the pie menu where you can choose your own filling and topping in small or larger sizes too. I had chicken a tarragon with shortcrust top in a small size which was plenty. It was also part filled with cauliflower cheese. Yum.

Lovely building and atmosphere. Good service, with a very friendly waitress. Delicious food, served promptly and presented very nicely. Reasonably priced. We have dined here a number of times over the last few years and always enjoyed our visit.

My dad, his partner and I ate here last night. We all opted for the pies and we all really enjoyed them. I went for the seafood pie with herb mash which was lovely. Chunky chips were great too. Service and decor was also great. Lovely log fire and brick interior that gives the place a really cosy feel.

We were visiting the area for the weekend and came across this pub on a search and thought why not give it a try... And we weren't disappointed! A beautifully presented pub with a lovely homely atmosphere and staff that couldn't do enough for you. The food was the nicest we've had in a long time, I just wish we lived closer so could come every weekend!

Decided to walk here from our house instead of in to town. A pleasant 25minute walk greeted with friendly helpful staff and seated at our table straight away even though we were early. Drinks were served at our table and we were given plenty of time to order our food. Vegan ratatouille pie which was delicious, haddock and mash with garden peas was also really good. The staff were friendly and attentive without being over powering. Definitely worth the walk we will visit again soon.

We arrived and were shown to our table straight away. We ordered a bottle of wine and our starters arrived fairly quickly followed by our mains. After that the service went downhill and we were sat waiting for someone to arrive and offer us a choice of desserts. We were left waiting for some considerable time whilst we noticed that other diners were being brought further drinks and puddings. We decided to leave without having our dessert and paid at the bar and left. Having left we noticed outside that there was a board advertising for staff with no experience. It would have been a good meal but to be honest there were far too many diners and not enough staff to cater for everyone's needs. Very disappointing bearing in mind that we had been told it was a good place to eat. It was not a memorable birthday meal. They should reduce the number of diners if they don't have the staff to cope.

Do not come here. The food was suboptimal. The service is absolutely dreadful. It’s such a shame as it used to be such a nice place to come.

Stopped here for a Sunday roast and was pleasantly surprised with how delicious it was. Lovely service from all waiting staff. I would recommend booking in advance as it was very busy when we arrived. Both had roast dinner which we both polished off as it was great! Amazing choice of puddings! The Malteser cheesecake was a big win!

20 of us booked for a birthday meal. We had our own area in the bar and received fantastic, attentive service throughout. As it was a Sunday, most of us ordered the roast. All the meats were tender and tasty and were accompanied by a good range of veg with gravy.

We had a reason to celebrate and decided to visit the Lord Kitchener for an early evening dinner. We had not been here for quite a while but will not leave so long next time , we had a couple of sharing starters followed by a very good fish and chips and a superb steak all cooked to perfection . Service was spot on and the bill was a pleasant surprise,

With Bernard's help via email he helped us organise a xmas 3 course meal for our large party (18 adults and 5 children). Food was lovely the portions huge! Pub is lovely too with wood burning fires and great staff. We had a private area which allowed us to play our own music and karaoke. Enjoyed by all, would definitely recommend.

This pub has had mixed reviews but seems to be on the up. Choosing a place to meet friends and family for lunch is always tricky, but this was a good choice. I left a telephone booking and was pleased that the manager rang back to confirm and was flexible on numbers. The website was good and menu comprehensive. I was pleased to find both a good range of gluten free options plus smaller portions. Our meals were all tasty and the service was friendly. The only mishap was that a side order of chips went missing and was quite a while being replaced, but at least it proved they fry to order (and were very tasty). It was a pleasant experience and good value for money.

Took the team out for lunch to celebrate a recent success. Sitting right on a main road just outside Witney, Oxfordshire this pub doesnt look the type of pub you think "Oh cute" but.....inside it is just lovely. Decor was very tasteful and menu was great. Loads to choose from and very busy for a Tuesday lunchtime. Reasonably priced and offers both small and large portions. Not only two bars split into two rooms but a decent sized restaurant too. Service was good but took a little while to get food out but nothing to complain about. Will definitely return.

First time visiting the Lord Kitchener and had a very pleasant sunday lunch with friends...service was good and giving you the choice of a regular or small course both on the main course and desert is something you don't see very often and was great, yes I could be picky on things but overall the value of our two course meal was very good and would recommend to all.

After being seated at a 4 seater table in the middle of one of dining rooms with our 2 push chairs we were then told as we were eating our deserts that our push chairs were in the way and the manager asked if we we’re we using them. My child is 7 weeks old there is no way he would of been able to be put into a high chair. I made a point of informing the member of staff on the phone when I booked the table that I had a 7 week old in a pram and the other child in on our table needed a high chair so sitting us in the middle of the dining room wasn’t the best option but then to complain to us wasn’t fair as that is where they sat us. There were plenty of other free tables that would of been better that weren’t used the whole 2 hours we were there. We assumed these table were going to be used when we arrived but they weren’t. The attitude of the manager/owner was completely uncalled for and he made us feel very unwelcome.

Great staff, service and food. Go for the 8oz burger. Excellent. On the down side ....the dust on the lamps above the bar needs to be addressed. The staff must see that right in front of their eyes when they are working at the bar.

From the moment we walked through the door the landlord and staff couldn't of been nicer. We walked to the pub and it was bitter cold outside, on arriving the landlord had a joke with us and made us feel at home. We got seated right in front of the open fire ( lovely ) after reading the menu we shared the duck starter between us which was delicious ( perfect portion )

My wife and I had called in here on Saturday 16th September to see if we could grab a bite to eat and a drink. Unfortunately at lunchtime they did not do any food but did kindly suggest another local place for us to eat at. After about an hour or so we returned to have a drink in the bar area and relax in what we thought was a superb traditional local pub which just had so much character. One of the locals made us feel very welcome and came over and had a chat with us both for about 10 minutes. He gave us some local history info and mentioned about the village and its links with the tv program Downton Abbey. All in all a very nice visit and if we were ever in the area again we would not hesitate in calling in. Thank you.
