The Norman Knight in Stratford-on-Avon

Fabulous lunch yesterday at this welcoming pub. Mussels were the most popular dish around the table and they didn’t disappoint. All the starters were delicious and the fish pie was bursting with flavour…it was hard to pick a main from the menu…we wanted it all!

A fantastic meal served by lovely staff. We didn't have to wait long for our meal and it was delicious.

AMAZING SERVICE, delicious chips and a perfect pint. We have regularly enjoyed a pint after a Tuesday evening cycling locally. The Hill climb bitter is probably the best pint Ive had this year and the cheerful landlady is always very welcoming. What a great pub. Worth a detour. We usually choose a different venue each week but the beer, chips and service here have brought us back time and again. Felt very safe COVID wise throughout the restrictions too.

This restaurant was recommended by the accommodation we stayed and to be fair we were not disappointed. The portion sizes were good and the good of a high standard. Service was good too. Only downside was that my main course was horrible. I had the grilled chicken and hock ham salad and it came looking horrible Presentation left a lot to be desired. They originally took my order wrong and I wished I have accepted the chicken burger originally offered ! The salad came with anchovies in it which was not mentioned on the menu. By the time my main came and was wrong the remainder of my party had eaten their mains so I did not bother ordering anything else. I had the cheese and biscuits for desert and to be fair there could have been more of a choice of cheese. We think about going back to this one if they could get the order and service right.

Last minute evening meal with the family ! Lovely service, beautiful food and fab vibe! This pub is an absolute gem!! Thank you

We had a lovely meal at the Norman Knight on Tue 13 Jul 2021 (during the Covid restrictions). Food, drinks, service and Covid security were all top notch. Returned two days later and what a transformation; food & drinks still good but service and Covid security had gone out the window. A girl (not clear if she was a customer or not) waltzed in without a mask, plonked herself down on the sofa next to our table and spent the next 15 minutes catching up on her social media. She seemed known to the staff. Another maskless woman then came in and joined her.Whereas on Tuesday, the occasional outside drinker who strayed in from for any reason other than to visit the loo was politely turned back, we now saw drinkers wander in and order directly from the bar. One chap who realised he might be pushing his luck enquired, after ordering a bottle of wine, whether he should now wait for it to be delivered back at his table. The barmaid reassured him he was fine.The staff were generally inattentive to us and other diners. We were up for deserts and coffees but by the time someone eventually got round to asking us if we wanted anything else we'd gone past it.The only explanation I can think of is that on Tuesday there was a senior member of staff on duty (quite possibly the landlady) who was a real dynamo. She wasn't there on Thursday.Such a disappointment on the last night of our holiday.

The best pub around. We come here with the cycling group. Fantastic chips! Lovely staff and landlord. It's the sort of pub every village should have.

Went with my partner for her birthday and weren't disappointed. A really nice setting in a beautiful pub in a beautiful village, we had half a lobster and Cornish crab. Both very reasonably priced, generous portion sizes and, most importantly, extremely tasty. We even managed to have dessert (white chocolate cookie dough and chocolate torte) which were similary good. Highly recommended.

PODS -Ok, so we booked a few nights in the pod, due to being in the area. The pod, was very clean and spacious for all our needs. Our main issue was, when we arrived we we picked up the keys and that was it. We weren’t really shown any of the bits inside the pod. EG underfloor heating / aircon / bathroom radiator / Bluetooth and mood lighting. We kind of had to figure things out ourself. The bed was not comfortable; but we managed to get by, sleeping on the pullout bed. Shower door was hanging by a hinge, I managed to clip it back on and after it was spot on. For the price of the pod, it was a bit extortionate for the experience. We paid the same price for a more luxury experience elsewhere before we arrived here. I expected more of a guided experience at the start, more communication and understanding of how to use things in the pod. PS, we did check all the pack inside the pod, but nothing really explaining how to turn things on etc. BE AWARE - if you have a small dog, keep it on a lead as they can escape as it’s not fully secured by fencing / waitingRESTAURANT -10/10 by far an amazing experience and amazing food, loved every minute of it. Only thing I’d say is having a decent drinks menu. Having to guess and figure out what you do was a challenge, especially having to linger over the bar with COVID around. Thanks for the experience, we will come back for food, but not stay. The pods have so much potential, you could add more to the area, fire pit? / tables / benches? Have a look at other pods around the country and develop more.Thanks

Visited on 3rd June for Lunch with my good lady. I can only describe it as fantastic. Whitebait and Chicken Liver Parfait were divine. Lobster and Mussels for main. Cheese board to share. I can't fault it in any way. Great service, great food and the wine wasn't too bad either. Will recommend for sure. Thank you.

Super friendly staff. Excellent service and food. The pate is heavenly. Lovely location. Try the pâté it’s absolutely delicious.

Stayed here a few times over the last few Years and I’ve got to say that it keeps getting better and better. The pods are clean and comfy, the staff are all friendly and the food and drink is fantastic. Ideal if you want a picture postcard Cotswold experience.

The pub has two spots with power for campervans in the car park. Booking was easy, the pub is lovely and the pitches are quiet. At £14 per night we would definitely come back.

Six friends meeting up - and the ideal place - and a great setting.Well equipped do deal with social distancing etc - and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Half our party of six had fish and chips - and they gave the dish five starts. I had a crab and mixed salads - with the most generous portion of crab I have seen in a long time. The extensive menu had something for everyone and catered for all various food allergies and vegetarians. Like many villages in the area the signal was not brilliant and it took four attempts for me to pay my portion of the bill!A return visit after an absence of 18 months but still a high standard and good value for money. I have booked our golfers Christmas dinner there on the strength of this.

Just returned from lunch at the Norman Knight and what a lunch it was! I had the juiciest, plumpest and tastiest mussels I've had in a long time, served in a herby, creamy stock and lashings of samphire, and fries and bread. Superb. My friend had an equally delicious beef stroganoff pie with chips. This is one the best places to eat in north Oxfordshire.

Came here after a walk over the hill from along Compton - traditional pub, with really excellent food - not cheap but good value as it was great

We booked a table for two at lunchtime. We arrived promptly and were seated. We were given only one copy of the menu. Then we were totally ignored. We stayed there patiently for 15 minutes and then left. The waitress who received us was at the exit and I said that no one came to ask us what we would like to drink or take the order.

First time for us but went for dinner with friends who had dined here before.It’s a delightful country pub in a lovely rural setting.The food was freshly cooked and delicious.The menu is interesting and varied so something for everyone. Also a great selection of well kept real ale.It’s not cheap but it’s good value for money.The staff are brilliant.So in conclusion it ticks all the boxes and I’m looking forward to returning soon.

We have just spent the weekend here parked up at this beautiful pub ... Management and staff were luvly and welcoming....Felt comfortable and safe during these difficult covid times. .The whole place was spotless with a luvly log burner... We didn't have a dog but they were allowed in and they made themselves at home...The food was amazing..I had the steak pie which was really tasty n my partner wore most of his burger it was that big ...We had Sunday lunch here also and again was very tasty...Will definitely be returning and would definitely recommend....Wendy n Darren...VW Campers

My wife and I had dinner there on Saturday night our first propel meal out since easing of lockdown restrictions. Due to a cancellation we got an "upgrade" and were seated inside the "marquee". We were prepared to sit outside. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Food, as always, was very good and well served. My wife loves whitebait so she had that followed by seafood tagliatelle. I had chicken liver parfait followed by steak and kidney pie. No room for dessert!During lockdown we had a takeaway Sunday lunch which was great. Portions were vast, in fact, we could almost have shared one!We wil certainly be back.

Huki & BI went here for dinner, we had pre-booked and would recommend doping so as they get pretty busy.I had the asparagus for starter and the market fish, plaice when I went, for main, they were great as I wanted different veg and potato and they said no problem and gave me what I wanted. The food was delicious and exceedingly well cooked. The staff were fantastic, helpful and friendly. But I ate as fast as could and did not want to stay for dessert as it was absolutely freezing, maybe invest in some outside heaters as it ruined what could have been an amazing experience

I had a roast at the weekend and it was scrumdidlyumptious! The cauliflower is cheesy and thick, the gravy well there is plenty and it is good, the veg are very good selection of greens and a few carrots steamed I believe, soft through, potatoes have a distinct flavour and very good, yorkshire was good, plenty of meat and very tender, this is the second time I have been.

Food was nice! We ate here while staying at the glamming pods. Lovely crispy duck salad which was a classier spin on a takeaway duck! Partner and step son enjoyed their fish & chips.

Wow what an amazing meal! The roast dinners were huge and to such a high standard. The pie also looked incredible. Obviously due to COVID these meals were collected with strict social distance measures in place and everything was very organized. We will definitely be ordering again. Thank you Amber and your team.

the works proper homemade stuffing and gravy PUCKER as a cook might say food great but I do miss the loverly atmosphere after a long Sunday morning walk with the dogs. looving the trimmings no wonder they love going to the pub

We made a reservation at The Norman Knight after reading the excellent reviews on TripAdvisor. It just so happened that our AirBnb host also recommended the pub to us on our arrival! The food was truly delicious with some really unique items on the menu - it’s clear that the kitchen team at The Norman Knight are innovative and want to ensure that they stand out from the crowd. The crab and crayfish tagliatelle was stunning, as was the pistachio creme brûlée. Service was great too - friendly and at no point did we feel rushed, despite booking at table for 7pm, they weren’t trying to get us out in order to fill the table again! We would wholeheartedly recommend a visit.

We’ve been coming to the Cotswolds for an autumn break every year for a long time now and found this gem of a pub a few years back. Every year we end up coming here more frequently because nowhere else is anywhere near as welcoming and has food anywhere near as delicious as the Norman Knight. When I sit in other pubs and look at their menus, my mind wanders and I think ‘I could be having the seafood salad at the Norman Knight’ or ‘I bet the roast isn’t as good here’ or ‘I don’t feel as welcome here as I do at the Norman Knight’ . However, this fantastic pub never seems to be on the Best pubs in the Cotswolds lists on the internet when it should be top of the lot. Well done to all the hard working staff at the Norman Knight and thank you for being consistently great at everything you do! See you next year

We were the first to arrive in the restaurant and were safely (covid) seated and enjoyed drinks whilst studying the varied menu. Well behaved dogs are welcome.We both had the Liver parfait + sour dough toast. Smooth and creamy with a delicious homemade chutney. The main course of dressed crab came with fries and salad, and I was very satisfied with an order of deliciously cooked scallops with king pawns and Caesar salad. Too full to try the desserts. Do try and visit if you are in the area, this is first class food cooked to perfection and served by wonderful staff. Thank you for a great evening.

Food is amazing. Service even better. Perfect way to end a few days in the Cotswolds. Can’t wait to return

Definitely worth booking at the Norman. The food is brilliantly done, they have specific restrictions to adhere to with all this coronavirus nightmare and do it superbly. The owners and managers take great pride and care in their establishment and it’s a homely, warm, inviting place. This is my new local having moved to the area recently.

Qué descubrimiento, después de haber estado en un recorrido por la destilería Cotswold Gin, el almuerzo era muy necesario. Una cálida bienvenida y una fabulosa selección de menú. El personal fue más que acogedor y amable. Incluso intervine para rescatar a Dillon, el labrador negro fugitivo local. Con todo eso en la mano, llegó el almuerzo.Elegí mejillones - mmmMi marido fue por cebo blanco y la sopa de pescado se presentó muy bien.Se están haciendo algunos trabajos en el pub, pero eso no afectó a nada más que al baño exterior, pero no importaMe encantaría venir y probar el glamping que se ofrece y probar Shepherds Hut como se recomienda.Un gran hallazgo lo recomendaría y volvería a visitar¿Gracias por un comienzo fabuloso para el fin de semana de mi cumpleaños?

Visited here the weekend just passed and the locals are really welcoming, the staff here were very polite and well mannered. Worth a visit.

Tantas cosas maravillosas que contarte sobre Norman Knight.En primer lugar, reservamos este lugar en el último minuto (¡2 horas y media antes de asistir!) Y el personal aún era más servicial y capaz de acomodarnos sin problemas. A nuestra llegada, nos acomodó rápidamente un miembro encantador del personal (lamentamos no haber oído su nombre).Nuestra mesa estaba prácticamente enfrente de la puerta de entrada contra la pared / radiador al llegar. El pub en el momento de la visita estaba pasando por algunas renovaciones, pero todavía se veía tan pintoresco y tenía un ambiente hogareño. Sin embargo, no hubo calefacción debido al reemplazo de una caldera. Estábamos un poco fríos frente a la puerta abierta, pero el mismo miembro del personal que nos recibió rápidamente se ofreció a trasladarnos a otra mesa una vez que estaba vacía y desinfectada sin que tuviéramos que preguntar o decir nada sobre el borrador. Honestamente, esta noche hemos tenido el mejor servicio de atención al cliente, y fue tan natural, fue como visitar una casa familiar, simplemente encantador.La comida estaba absolutamente deliciosa. Felicitaciones al chef por algunos platos innovadores y sabrosos, seguro. El tiempo de espera fue un poco más largo de lo habitual para el gastropub / restaurante promedio, con aproximadamente 30 minutos de espera para que llegara el entrante, y luego otros 20 minutos más o menos para el plato principal. PERO, este no es el típico gastropub. Esto valió la pena cada minuto de espera y algo más.¿Valor por su dinero? Como vegetarianos, diríamos que obtuviste más de lo que pagaste. Las porciones para los entrantes eran perfectas, los platos principales eran más que perfectos (¡simplemente no pudimos terminarlo!) - Comimos una ensalada de tomate y una tarta de queso de cabra para comenzar; seguido de 2 chiles vegetales. Junto con 3 bebidas (2 tazas de té y medio refresco y lima), la cuenta llegó a 43. Con poco más de 20 por cabeza para una bebida y una comida de 2 platos, ¡diría que es bastante fabuloso!En el clima actual, con restricciones más complicadas para garantizar la seguridad de los huéspedes y el personal, producir alimentos de la calidad que recibimos y ser recibidos como si fuéramos clientes habituales, fue simplemente un placer maravilloso. Digo en nombre de los dos, sigan con lo que están haciendo. COVID es un desafío que sin duda superará. Servicio, comida y experiencia de los huéspedes, todo más allá de lo que esperábamos.Si desea una excelente comida local y un ambiente cálido y acogedor en un pub original de Cotswolds; ven aquí, no te arrepentirás.

This was really very good - noteworthy - Sunday lunch. Easy parking, village green to exercise the dog, excellent food and nice beers.

¡Simplemente maravilloso!La comida era excelente, el servicio excepcional, el café de Amber's Bailey's era para morirse.Estas maravillosas damas lo han clavado absolutamente. Un acogedor ambiente de pub rural con un toque saludable de elegancia moderna. Servicio amable y cordial de cada uno de este equipo claramente unido.Muy recomendado.Gracias.

Esta fue prácticamente nuestra primera experiencia en un pub después del cierre del covid y quedamos realmente impresionados. Nos recibió en el frente un miembro educado del personal que nos mostró una mesa bien alejada afuera y tomó nuestro pedido. Una gran selección de bebidas, un ambiente encantador y un personal excelente, lo recomendaría.

Me alojé aquí de nuevo (me alojé hace un par de años). Las cápsulas son muy acogedoras, tranquilas y están bien equipadas. Subimos el viernes y nuestros 2 amigos también tenían una vaina. Al llegar conocimos a un par de miembros del personal que eran amables y serviciales. Entramos en el pub las dos vísperas para tomar unas copas, lleno de gente amable. El pub es encantador, un pub rural tradicional de Cotswold siempre tiene una excelente selección de cervezas y están bien conservadas. También llevamos a nuestro perro westie con nosotros. Actualmente se están realizando algunas obras de construcción, por lo que se están agregando nuevos baños, etc., en la parte trasera del pub. Definitivamente regresaremos nuevamente en algún momento, mi único consejo para cualquiera que lea esto y quiera ir por la fantástica comida o incluso una bebida aquí es que reserve con anticipación, ya que siempre está lleno.

Mi pareja y yo reservamos una mesa al aire libre para cenar en The Norman King ayer junto con nuestros dos pugs. Cuando llegamos estaba lleno, así que siempre es una buena señal cuando no has estado en algún lugar antes. La comida era una de las mejores comidas de pub que hemos tenido y definitivamente valió la pena la espera.

Me and my wife went for a meal on the off chance without a booking.Absolutley stunning is all I need to say!!!!Pan fried hake sat on top of risotto with chopped scallops. Packed full of flavor really worth a try.My wife had half a lobster which was just amazing.Cant recommend the food and staff enough.Please give this place a try

Been here twice whilst staying in whichford in horseshoe cottage. They managed to find us a table on the friday inside eventually (there was no note of our booking) but they are up the wall with building work.We booked again tonight and asked to sit outside. It was so nice all the staff are really lovely make you feel really welcome. The food is AMAZING. I probably ate too much as we had a pudding each.Would definitely recommend eating here.

Very disappointing. We booked online and were asked if we wanted inside or out. We booked a table outside but asked what would happen if it was too cold/raining and were told “we will move you inside“. When we turned up it was too cold unless you wanted to eat in your coat and as it was an anniversary dinner and we wanted to relax, we asked for a table inside. The waitress rolled her eyes at us and then said there were no tables available inside. We said we had been told different on the phone, which was ignored - no apology, no acknowledgement, nothing. Very disappointed given we had travelled over an hour to visit.

I went here for lunch today with my little boy. It is such a beautiful pub in the loveliest setting. We had the most amazing food and brilliant, friendly service. The pub is very well set out for social distancing and everyone stuck to the rules. We will definitely be coming back.

We were slightly late for our booking, but were seated promptly within our Covid friendly booth. 2 portions of white bait to start, then I had excellent monkfish and the others had crab & crayfish Tagillini. A very enjoyable evening

Pre-booked a table on a very busy Bank Holiday Monday lunchtime. We had a table outside under a canopy (all suitably spaced out). Even though the staff were very busy, service was very good and food and drinks all served very promptly. Excellent goats cheese tart followed by hake with a risotto which was fantastic. There seemed to be a very good fish and seafood twist to the menu. Just to note if you are eating outside then you will probably need to use the portaloos around the side of the pub. The Eat Out to Help Out scheme also made lunch extremely good value. Would definitely recommend and return.

Absolutely outstanding food. A beautiful place, and extremely friendly staff. An excellent value for money.

Dropped in for lunch. Had to sit outside because of covid, so cannot speak of interior. But the food was really superior. Good choice for vegetarians. Will definitely return.

Well what can I say about this amazing place! Stayed here for my partners birthday and it didn’t disappoint! Food was great staff couldn’t do enough went above and beyond for us. We stayed in one of the pods it was incredible clean and lots of room! We had a dog with us so even better being pet friendly. This place really is a must if your a food lovers...

Went with a friend as it had been recommended for good food. Lady who looked after us was lovely and very helpful. Three of us all ordered the the same, fish and chips. It came out and fish was hot but sadly that was the only thing, the chips and peas were lukewarm unsurprising as they were served on a cold plate. I told a member of staff and she took the plate away returning a short time later with the food on a piping hot plate. Unfortunately the food was still the same temperature, it had just been transferred to a hotter plate. I told the staff member and she offered to take it back again. I couldn’t see the point as I didn’t realise turning out hot food would be such a chore. I ended up paying nearly £15 for an ok piece of fish.

Booked with four of us..my husband and I vegitarian... lovely risotto. VERY professional staff ...clean . excellent social distancing measures.. highly recommended

Belated review (apologies). We stayed in Shipston-on-Stour back in March 2020 (at thatched cottage), the week before lockdown and we eat at the Norman Knight most days as the food, beer and service were all excellent. The food is just fantastic everything from one of the best Sunday lunches I have ever tasted (amazing cauliflower cheese), fish pie, crab salad, steak, through to delicious home made sweets. Highly recommend, we loved our stay.

The title says it all really, all three lady waitresses were very helpful, polite and chatty. The food was delicious, I had the hake risotto and it was without a doubt one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten. I understand as it’s a summers evening and with COVID about, it’s nice to have doors open. However the evening we visited it was overcast and extremely windy and we we’re uncomfortably cold. Apart from that a very positive experience.

Take advantage of the 10 pound cash back and go upmarket. Me and my mate Paul had a top meal apart from paul having a hissy fit. The staff were fantastic. Do your szelf a favour go on tuesday wednesday and try some top quality food at a fantastic price thanks Amber and Mick and all the crew. Motery you need a knew look. :}

14th March, just prior to lock-down, our family arranged a surprise 25th Wedding Anniversary party at the Norman Knight. Food and atmosphere were great and the staff we very attentive.This is a wonderful village pub with nice range of beers (Hooky plus guest beers) and very good quality of food - from lighter snacks to very nice range of fish dishes.During lock-down they have been doing amazing fish and chips on Fridays!!

Brilliant service brilliant food brilliantly managed ✊ can’t fault the fresh food we’ll kept beer and wine and topped by a fantastic location if your near whichford it’s a must visit should be at least in the Aa or Michelin guide 😘

It was our first time at this pub and our first meal out after Lockdown. We had the deep-fried whitebait to start then pan-fried hake, roast beef and fish and chips. Each dish and every part of them was absolutely delicious and generous portions too. The pub is in the MOST stunning village of Whichford which was perfect for an amble around after lunch. We sat at a picnic table overlooking the village green. All well spaced out. A perfect Sunday lunch, thank you to 'The Norman Knight'!

What a feast !!! Amazing food for take away and a nice pint sat in the garden whilst we waited,, staff top notch and the chef is next level ! 5*+++

Had a couple of top meals at the norman this week. Sea food salad, crab rollmops whitebait the works . Light but filling all frery fresh . Sunday lunch was my best meel of the week. Wish I could get my yorkshire pudding to stand up like that.

We came on a break to the cotswolds as our Italy trip was cancelled and came here on the first night - it cheered us right up! The service and food were incredible and if we lived closer we would definitely be returning again! We had the mussels and white bait to start followed by pork belly and steak pie and we were so full after. The food is so tasty and whilst its not the cheapest it is worth it. Would definitely reccomend!

Had dinner at The Norman Knight on the 10th & 11th of March 2020. Had the ribeye steak the first night, it was delicious, cooked exactly as I asked. My wife had the steak pie from the "specials board" and said how lovely it was, I ordered it the following night and I must say it was probably the best homemade pie I've ever tasted.The Real ales were very good and would strongly recommend the Brewers Blend from Hanlons Brewery.The staff were really helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble.

Stayed the night in a pod,comfortable and well presented. The food was amazing,beautifully cooked and served by very friendly staff.The bar has a good selection of beers.Will definitely be paying a return visit.

We came in for some food and drink after a long walk. We had missed the food service by five minutes and the hostess was very aggressive when we asked about this. We stayed for a drink nonetheless, but the pub itself is shabby and unclean (toilets were filthy) and we were made to feel very unwelcome by the hostess. We finished our drinks as quickly as possible and left. I simply cannot recommend this pub to anyone.

Thursday night pea ham soup with dumplings loverly full on food calorific do it have a meal u want regret it it

Excellent pub/resturant, great atmosphere, excellents choice of beers and the food was fabulouse. Had agreat evening.

Family of 8 and 2 dogs... fabulous food excellent service and lively atmosphere... well worth a visit, we had sea bass, mussels, seafood salad, fish and chips and steak... all were fab!!

We were visiting from Australia and can't recommend this village pub highly enough. It is everything you hope a local pub should be with fabulous food - an interesting menu with a great choice of fish .....The staff were excellent - welcoming and very helpful and we worked our way through the menu! We went back a second time as we enjoyed it so much - don't miss the fish pie, whitebait and fish and chips but it's all excellent - you simply can't make a poor choice!!!!!!!! Wish it was close enough to make it our local - we would visit regularly but its a long way to travel from Australia......

We love it here, so much that we travel an hour for lunch! Food is amazing, it’s dog friendly. Can’t recommend it enough! Book a table so you won’t be disappointed

We went for an after Christmas/New Year lunch to finish off the festivities and were not disappointed. The pub bar and restaurant are welcoming with a nice warm atmosphere. There were a good range of beers and wines by the glass and the menu had plenty to offer. We love seafood and the mussels either as a starter or a main were a good choice but there were meat and vegetarian options as well. The seafood salad was the popular choice and proved to be excellent. The goats cheese and mushroom with salad was very oily and there was not much goats cheese however we all had an enjoyable meal. You do not leave hungry. The service was good and it was value for money. We are going back later in the year and I look forward to exploring the menu further.

Best pub food in north Oxfordshire. Dog welcome my soup even more so. Served with Welsh rabbit. Looked lovely but to late I have eaten it. Top pub food and beers.

We had a family meet-up for dinner at the Norman Knight recently. What a great find...

Met up for a Sunday lunch at the Norman knight, lovely country pub in a picturesque village. Cosy and warm and welcoming inside.

Amazing choices of fish food on the menu and special board. There are really good meat and vegetarian choices too. Friendly staff greeted us warmly with excellent service throughout.

Visited for lunch after a morning trip to Cotswold Distillery, pub quiet but welcoming, limited menu and we ate excellent steak and fish pies with a v tasty milk stout to drink. The prices were a little more expensive than we would expect but the food was of a high quality and good sized portions.

Just eaten at the Norman Knight and have to say that this place is absolutely first class! We sampled some of the new Christmas menu which was absolutely brilliant. Always a warm welcome, great service and stunning food!

A big thanks to Jenny and all the staff for a great weekend break Food and drink was 1st class We all really enjoyed it

Myself and my husband recently stayed in the robins nest shepherds hut and had an evening meal in the pub.

Great welcome to a wonderful little gem of a pub. Our meal was possibly a little expensive but we couldn't fault the quality. Steak Pie was probably the best I have had. Good beer too.

Late lunch following the Cotswolds Hedleaying Competition. Lovely warm welcome and great hosipitality for our group. Delicious Sauasage and Mash which was just what was needed after five hours hard work in the cold and wet. The cabbage carrot and bacon veg dish was excellent as was the rich gravy surrounding the quality sausages.

Las bebidas tenían un buen precio, pero el costo de lo que se suponía que eran hamburguesas de pollo frito sureño era elevado. Digo que se supone que es, porque estaba en pan de ajo y tenía un sabor abrumador de ajo. No estoy seguro de dónde obtuvieron su receta, pero eso no es lo que esperaríamos de una hamburguesa de pollo frito del sur. Las papas fritas eran solo chips básicos de horno congelado. En general comida decepcionante, tenía mucha hambre después de un largo día, así que comí y seguí adelante. Comimos en un pub diferente al día siguiente por la mitad del precio y la comida era excelente y el lugar era mucho más acogedor. No volveremos

Estábamos ansiosos por almorzar después de una caminata y habíamos reservado con anticipación. Nos recibieron y nos sirvieron bebidas rápidamente. La comida cuando llegó estaba bien, pero nos mantuvieron esperando durante unos 40 minutos para que llegara. No vale la pena esperar y no volveré.

Ate here last night and it was truly exceptional. The pub is in a beautiful village with spectacular scenery and plenty of walks. Pub has a lovely welcoming ambience made even better by the blazing log fire and excellent staff led by Helen. Some great beers though on this occasion the wine list caught our eye. The food was truly exceptional and impossible to fault. Simply outstanding. Much better than you could possibly expect from a rural pub. Everything about this pub was wonderful. Recommended 100%. Thank you Helen for making us so welcome and for looking after us so professionally when we parked up

Fuimos con un grupo de amigos a almorzar el domingo en el Norman Knight. Nos sentamos en una mesa que acomodaba cómodamente a nuestro grupo de cinco.

Mi esposa y yo disfrutamos visitar los pubs del pueblo, que ofrecen buena comida, y también atienden las paradas de caravanas.

Nos reunimos con la familia en The Norman Knight para el almuerzo del domingo.

Knowing we had not booked and Sunday lunches are hectic times for eating establishments we took a chance to see if they could fit us in. The pub was very busy with customers for the Sunday Roast menu we were not hungry enough to partake. We chose for a varied menu and chose more lighter options and were not disappointed. My husband chose soup and I had a whole crab salad - both were gorgeous. Even though it was a busy time the staff were very helpful and cheerful. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Booked the Norman Knight after only hearing good things, so thought we would give it a try and what a great decision it was. Great atmosphere and great food to accompany it. The Staff was excellent and friendly which is always good, I had the Ribeye steak and it was stunning cook just as I had asked for. My wife had the salmon salad again which was very good.

The Norman Knight is a delightful village pub, good food, great service and the beers are outstanding.

Best pub lunch I have eaten for months. Hake on Specials board. Lovely village and gorgeous sunny day obviously helped our enjoyment. Great walks for your dog's.

well over priced meals and medium quality

A Birthday surprise for my wife’s 50th...

Thinking of a nice pub in my area to have lunch, to sit outside as the weather was so gorgeous, I decided to take my friend to The Norman Knight.

We had 2 days pitched up at the Norman Knight and originally chose it as we had a distillery tour booked and the distillery is only about 1.5 miles away. We also cycled in the area and there were some quiet roads and it's close to the National Cycle route 5. Monday night the kitchen is closed but a pizza van serves delicious pizzas until about 20.00 hours. On Tuesday we ate in the restaurant. The food was delicious and we had the fish and chips and seafood platter. Good service and friendly staff. If we are back in the area again, we will be back.

Visited just for a drink - though I'm told the food is good. Both ales I had were excellent. The landlady was very knowledgeable about the beer, weas friendly and welcoming - we had two large dogs with us that were warmly welcomed also

Just returned from the Norman Knight with a full stomach and a warm glow inside. From the outset the staff were friendly, polite and very professional. The food was amazing and great value for money. Will use again. Many thanks for the wonderful experience.

‘ YES! YES! YES! ‘ ....like that chick in that film when she fakes an organism Just yes, do it. Your mouth will love you, longtime. 👍

I have eaten in some very good restaurants and the food here holds its own with more expensive places. The service was friendly without being fussy and I love the fact that this is still a village pub with locals coming in for a pint. We had four different starters and four different mains. All were great. Another great feature is that most of the starters are available as mains.

Had a lovely meal, really fresh tasting food with great flavour. Good customer service with a smile. Beautiful setting and well worth a visit

We have been to the Norman knight a few times for drinks but ate here finally. Food and service is excellent.

After advice from friends our first pub stopover just happened and already booked to return soon. Have had a brilliant stopover for two nights at the Norman Knight Inn, Whichford, near Shipston on Stour.

Turned up on a busy midweek night without booking, but was happily accommodated. It is set in a lovely quiet village and has a welcoming atmosphere. The menu is varied and has an option for everyone - I certainly liked the focus on seafood!

We were recommended and delighted with the quality of food, choice and wonderful atmosphere. We would recommend the Norman Knight to everyone. The only slight negative is that the younger staff do need a bit of table service training but this doesn't take away from the great time we had.
