The Oxfordshire Yeoman in West Oxfordshire

Stumbled across this country pub one afternoon and it was great. The food looked delicious in passing but I didn't eat. Had a chat with a friendly chap called James who was working on the bar and a couple of the locals. Would have been great to try some hoppier and/or local keg beers but I guess I can't win them all! Will recommend and hope to pop back soon.

Lovely pub very friendly and the food is great. Great menu. Highly reccomend a visit. Excellent kept beers. Very reasonable prices

So pleased to find this real local. Ever since our nearby local closed we have been looking for another, but Gastro Pubs have really taken over. This is a friendly pub with a varied menu of straightforward pub classics very nicely cooked at very reasonable prices. We couldn't be happier and can't wait to return.

What a wonderful Christmas lunch at the Oxfordshire Yeoman for me and 20 of my yoga students. Lovely menu! Great portions and plenty of options. Fantastic roast potatoes and beautifully cooked veg! Also the vegetarian option of roasted celeriac was really tasty - one of the nicest veg roasts I’ve ever had! The food was served quickly and efficiently and most importantly all hot. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was well organised. Thank you for a lovely, enjoyable afternoon. 💖

We had an excellent Sunday roast yesterday, choice of 3 different meats all cooked well, great roast potatoes and veg (especially the cauliflower cheese), and delicious puddings! It was the right price, and the pub was buzzing. Highly recommended!

Now this is my local and I’ve been eating here for years but I have to say the Sunday Roast last Sunday was amazing. They’ve relaunched their roasts and they’ve never been better. Very tasty and decent value. Mid-week, the kebabs are brilliant too as is the Lasagna. Always a decent pint and a laugh on offer. My family are very picky about where we eat and I can’t recommend the food here enough.

Absolutely fantastic Pub, great food and the Sunday roast is fantastic they’ve also got a great selection of beer and a great beer garden

Wow just back from an excellent roast beef dinner table of 8 and all th beef was spot on! Particularly impressed with the potatoes and cauliflower cheese! 100% recommended! Forgot to take a picture cause we all just got stuck in!!

Lovely lunch time meal....wonderful friendly service. Highly recommend stopping off here for a meal

Just had a most spectacular ham egg n chips lunch here washed down with a nice pint of Hogget Best Bitter. What a fantastic pub.

Home from home…..during these times of pub closures it is great to have a pub in the village…..always working hard to welcome everyone

Banging Sunday Roast Had Sunday lunch as part of a party of 10. I frequently go out for Sunday lunch in the area and this was among the best I’ve had! Service was good, food was absolutely delicious, I highly recommend 👍 Wine was reasonably priced too,

On arrival we were offered our table immediately and a great selection red wine, our food came quickly the roast potatoes and carrots were delicious and the meat was delicious! We were given more potatoes and gravy without asking and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and dogs welcome!!

When the first thing you see is a sign that says “wanted - customers” it sets the scene. The interior was a bit grubby but we thought the food still might be good. We were wrong. Service was below average with my husbands pie arriving 5 minutes after his vegetables. My lasagne was unlike any lasagne ever - there was no lasagne sheets just bolognaise with cheese on top. The whole thing was swimming in grease and was just grim. We weren’t offered a child’s menu although clearly had a child with us. It was appalling in every aspect. No wonder you need customers - sort yourselves out!

Superb Sunday Lunch! A group of 12 of us went for Sunday lunch today. We are a family group of mixed ages from babies to pensioners. The food was so good and so much of it!! Proper cauliflower cheese and homemade Yorkshire pudding. The service was efficient and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Overall we found the pub to be clean and welcoming, the enclosed sunny garden was a definite bonus. We will be back !

We called in for drinks. The pub was pretty but we were quite shocked by the staffing. The place seems to be run by teenagers and we did not feel very comfortable by their behaviour. They were in and out behind the bar, playing their own music loudly and generally treating the place like a youth club. This is our second such experience here and we will not be returning any time soon. There was not one adult around! I feel as if the pub has really gone downhill. Such a shame.

A group of 8 of us ate here on the Saturday night - weekend of the Queen's Jubilee. We ate inside, but there was lots of music and activity outside in celebration of the Queen. We chose this pub because it was within walking distance...

The tables are too close together Ordered roast beef Plates cold, carrots under cooked cabbage over cooked Beef was more sinew then meat and none of the food was particularly hot. Veg served on board with no serving spoons when asked for these and horseradish...

Decided to give "Pie Night" a go. The pastry top and filling was lovely but sadly on the bottom and sides of the pie the pastry was raw. I brought this to the attention of the waitress who had a word with the chef who...

We had lunch here today and it was absolutely delicious. I had the steak and ale pie and my husband had the fish and chips. Only problem was despite not being able to finish the main course I still didn't have room for dessert. My...

We had the takeaway from here a few weeks ago and it was absolutely faultless. Food was piping hot, tasty and good value. The collection from the pub was efficient and the couple running it were very friendly. We will be using them again tonight!

Village pub serving good value pub food. Soup and sandwiches are very good,value. Drinks,are reasonably priced

Good food, friendly staff. Well priced Sunday roast but veg portions a bit measley. On the other hand great Yorkshire puddings. Tight seating and booking is a must.

This pub is a very friendly place with great food. Portion sizes are good and although not a huge menu there are most of the favourites and a specials board. Staff very attentive and have booked again for next week.

Visited here with a group of friends. A fantastic dinner, perfectly cooked in a busy pub on a popular evening. Delicious starter and perfectly cooked main course with freshly cooked vegetables. Decided no room for pudding. Will definitely visit again.

Ordered a scampi basket, it came with about 12 chips and 3 small scampi pieces😒. To say the least it was a poor portion size for the £5 being charged. I was directed to the Landlord by a staff member who looked embarrassed when I...

After another local pub had taken our booking for 25 people the night before a wedding, they closed at short notice and we had to scramble to find somewhere else to go. Step in the Oxfordshire Yeoman! They were able to accommodate our large party...

I couldn’t recommend the Yeoman high enough. It is a fantastic village pub catering for families of all ages. The staff are just the best and make everyone welcome. The food is fabulous and I especially recommend the ‘Yeoman Burger’ although be warned you’ll never...

My wife and I used The Oxfordshire Yeoman as our local thirty years ago - chicken and chips in a basket. We ‘found’ it again recently, and how it has changed; for the better, I hasten to add. Now tastefully refurbished and with a good...

Arrived unbooked as too lazy to cook. Found large numbers of happy people eating, drinking, talking, sitting in the garden or watching sport on TV. Excellent beer, interesting menu. No problem with numbers. Space to sit. Drinks arrived quickly. Appetising food arrived after reasonable delay,...

Had a super Sunday roast lunch here on 23 June. Choice of beef, pork, chicken or goats cheese nut roast and a choice of large or small portions. Tables all booked inside so we sat outside in the garden. Neat and tidy garden with plenty...

Didn't know pubs like this still existed

Decided to have a cycle ride in the lovely Easter weather. So headed towards The Oxford Yeoman in Freeland as I have known Trevor the landlord for many years from his previous establishment. He runs an excellent pub with a great selection of drinks very reasonably priced. Great pub food all cooked from fresh. Kirin Ichiban on draught a really refreshing lager from Japan.

The Oxfordshire Yeoman is an "out of the way" small pub giving good value home cooked food in pleasant surroundings. Helpful staff. They seem to run a variety of special events, from pub quizzes to monthly events supplying themed evenings with food typical of specific countries e.g.Egyptian food in Feb.

Highly delighted with friendly service. Food was excellent and very reasonable value indeed. I’d certainly come back here in the future. Hopefully moving back to Oxfordshire soon and will make it a regular trip

The best and biggest Christmas meal I’ve had in a while. Friendly staff, great customer service and scrumptious food. Such a wonderful country atmosphere in a local village.

For exercise, we occasionally walk on rights of way across fields from Hanborough to the Yeoman, where there is a friendly welcome, good food and real Guinness (my favourite). There are also outside tables for sunny days in a sheltered garden. Definitely a welcoming place to stop for a drink or a meal, at any time of the year.

Staying nearby and have popped in a few times. Food has always been good and the staff friendly. Tonight I had the 3 bean chilli nachos and it raised to another level, really tasty with a little kick. Would be absolutely out of this world if there were jalapeños. Will be back and hopefully the little spicy fellas will be an additional option.

We went for lunch after a long walk in the Cotswold. Great menu with ever changing specials. We had the sharing platter followed by filled baguettes. Service was fast, efficient and friendly. Happily recommend to anyone in the area.

Really enjoyed our lunch here. Attentive staff and wholesome food. We were impressed by the landlords welcome and involvement in our meal

We visited for lunch on Saturday. Total strangers but what a lovely welcome from Trevor the landlord. Had a great pint of Brakespears. Wife and I had a very nice lunch of battered garlic mushrooms and lovely well filled prawn (warm) baguette. A very good menu by the looks of it. It would be my local if we lived nearer. Good low volume music as well. Had a very pleasant chat with the landlord and a couple of locals and would certainly recommend and revisit any time in the area in future. Well done all.

Ok lets start with the good bit,the pub is very friendly and the bar staff were very helpful,our meal came and looked ok,but my fish was grey not white like cod should be and was greasy(did it come from an Iceland shop ?),the same with my wifes platter.we had our meal and was asked if every thing was alright,YES we should have said something but complaining is not everybodies idea of a quiet night out on a Friday night.

My Husband and I love this pub. Have visited a couple of times. We enjoyed a lovely lunch in the garden a few weeks back., the vegetable curry was amazing. Will be back soon.

Out for lunch with a friend as we continue to try out pubs in the county. There's plenty to chose from for lunch with a mixture of interesting typical pub grub lunches and specials on the board. All cooked freshly. My friend had the chips, peas and scampi. Nice chips - home made and nicely chunky. Peas and scampi good too. I had a special - pan fried red snapper with rice, tomato sauce, and salad. The snapper was very good - perfectly cooked, nice crisp skin and yet moist, the rice was fluffy, the tomato sauce was fresh and tasty, the salad well put together and certainly not straight from a packet. What a good plate of food for lunch. Neither of us could manage a pudding sadly, perhaps next time because we would be very happy to return here.

If you want typical pub grub at a fair price served with a smile then this is the place to go. Always lots of events going on in evenings - themed food evenings, quizzes, lots of charity work.

We were out working late on a wet Friday night, decided to pop in for some food, one question - were they still serving food - yes, no problem. Managed to get a table, and the food arrived quickly and hot. It was as described and as expected - Rump steak, chips with all the trimmings, and lasagne and salad. Staff and locals were friendly, and the drinks spot on. Would we visit again if passing - yes we would.

we visited the oxfordshire yeoman pub for an evening meal the food was very nice although one of the items on the menu was not quite as discribed but this was resolved very quickly definatly a nice place to enjoy an evening meal

Great Village pub. This pub accommodates everyone families , kids and dogs.

Had a family lunch on Friday at this great village pub. Nine of us dined and the menu was excellent. They catered well for our party of whom there was a veggie, but allergy and dairy intolerant person. Range of specials was good. Good was hot, tasty and plentiful. Will be back!

A great place to eat, reasonably priced meals and great service, also has special themed evenings Has special lunch deals midweek.

Stopped here for Lunch while in the area visiting my mother. Nice pub and good service. Had a couple of fresh made baguettes. Good selection of beers. Would make a great local

Yesterday we were treated to lunch at our daughter and her husbands local pub. The meals were all served at the same time,nicely presented and delicious to eat. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive.

Visited with a group as partner to my dad, who is a member of the Elderberries. In Long Hanborough. An outing for their Xmas lunch. Have to say it was excellent. They had to cater for over 30 pensioners, a three course meal. A choice of 3or 4 starters all of which were pre ordered. I had the Prawn cocktail which was very nice. I also had the beef which was casserole and extremely tasty with fresh veg and proper roast potatoes. Dad had the turkey and he tucked in to this and really enjoyed it. Sweets were all very nice. I had the trifle, I don't think it was homemade but that was not a problem . I would certainly recommend the food that we had and the menu did look nice and intend to go back and try something different. Staff were all very nice and friendly and service was with a smile!

I have started to eat more frequently at this village pub and I have yet to be disappointed. Instead of my usual choice of fish, I decided to go for the meat-fest that is The Yeoman mixed grill and I was delighted that I did. Everything was cooked to perfection, it was piping hot and very, very tasty. It goes without saying that the service was 1st class, as it always is and even though the pub was busy with customer's, my food arrived promptly with a smile from the willing staff.

We were camping nearby and popped in to the pub for a meal on a Monday night. What we hadn't realised was that they don't normally serve meals on a Monday. When the landlord realised we were on foot and the next pub was some way away, he cooked a steak and chips meal just for us. Great service ! A bonus - the food was excellent too . The steak cooked just as requested, chips crispy and accompaniments tasty and well cooked. The locals in the pub were friendly and chatty too. A small village pub with a big heart !!

Sé que este pub muy bien y comprobar ordenados abadejo ahumado con huevos escalfados en hortalizas top, verde y puré de patatas. El chef es muy bueno y el pescado es su especialidad y no me decepcionó. Esta comida fue excelente, y si quieres tratar,...

Que la Yoeman descendiente directo en aproximadamente 5:00 pm un sábado por la tarde. Había un grupo de 18 personas, incluyendo 7 niños, podría ser para alimentar a nosotros? No, con el mínimo de alboroto, y muchas sonrisas. Yo tenía un filete que estaba perfectamente...

Este pub village country era justo lo que estábamos buscando, cuando necesitamos un descanso para en nuestro recorrido alrededor de oxfordshire. Tomamos café y galletas; el personal era muy servicial con el servicio es de primera clase - gracias. . Sin duda llamar de nuevo.

Un fantástico pub Village en un lugar precioso, entre Oxford y Witney - tuvimos una comida deliciosa, bien de precio de un menú que ofrece una gran variedad de pub clásicos, muchas de ellas con ingredientes de producción local. El propietario fue encantador y servicial y el personal eran igual de amable y atento. Una variedad imaginativa de cervezas de barril, eran para aquellos que disfrutan de una buena pinta inglesa. Altamente recomendado.

Un maravilloso mundo pub rural para, buen ambiente, buenas cervezas, buen menú, buena comida bien presentada y coked. Buena disposición para fumadores en el exterior. Un pequeño problema es el aparcamiento de la carretera.

Encantador pub país. Ambiente agradable. Muy bien atendido. Personal amable educado y servicial. Bueno honesto bien preparado y bien presentado comida de pub. Sin adornos. Buena relación calidad-precio, especialmente ofertas de almuerzo entre semana. Si tiene expectativas realistas que no te decepcionará.

Really warm welcome and the landlord very friendly, but unfortunately two of us had fish and chips and it was extremely greasy.

A family get together for lunch prior to visiting the nearby Freeland Nursing Home. Food was typical pub grub, all cooked well, reasonably priced, beer good and service was friendly - what you hope to find from a local village pub.

6 of us met here and were really pleased with both the food and atmosphere. It felt friendly as soon as we walked in, the staff were helpful in offering to move us to a, larger table, efficient at taking our order, and all had a smile. The food was excellent - 2 of us had steaks, the rest had curry or fish as a change from Christmas meat! Really good, great beer, and very well worth a visit.

The Yeoman is located in the heart of Freeland, with on road parking.The Landlord and staff are very welcoming and friendly. A good choice of drinks available, with ales changed regularly.The food choices are wide and varied and portions are plentiful.Definitely worth a visit.

ok but nothing special have themed food nights. pool table is in gardennothing special don't come here

Friendly staff, warm welcome, cosy, clean and food nice too! I would definitely visit again when I'm in the area

popped in for food but alas cooking had stopped ..so stayed for a pint and of-coarse a glass of wine for my Joan..what a pleasant atmospheric local ...loved it ....although when we left the church bells next door were chiming spooky Halloween time as well and we couldn't see a single light on in the church lol..very spooky .....

It's been nearly a year since I've been here, and I went with a group. Simple lunch dishes were well done. People liked egg and chips, scampi, and the goat's cheese salad. My BLT was let down by leathery British bacon. What I've leraned in repeated visits is that simple and traditional dishes are generally fine, but demanding or complicated dishes are disappointing. There was a nice selection of good beers, including some unusual ones. As always, the staff are friendly and the pub is well supported by its community.

Called in for lunch today, as the sun was shining (very rare this year) we decided to sit in the garden, the menu was extensive and excellent value, nice selection of beer and is well kept.

Very accommodating staff and excellent value Sunday lunch. Roast lunch and sausages for fussy kids.Good value with big portions!

Proper pub, friendly staff and good pub grubFruit machine Pool table Darts board and even sail racing! Love this pub and the Guinness is spot on

After a visit to the Bus Museum, Kate and I found this delightful pub for lunch. Once again we got there a little early but were made very welcome by all. We did not have to wait too long for a perfect Sirloin Steak [for me] and Scampi for Kate.Typical "Pub Grub" but exactly what we were looking for.Good food, great atmosphere and even a "small plate" for Kate.Highly recommended.Well done to all.

This is a great place if you want a traditional pub experience. You will receive a warm welcome from the pub's affable landlord, Trevor, followed by delicious ales and great pub grub. What more could you ask?

A proper well supported pub! Walking into the pub is an array of smiley, friendly faces with the staff at the top of the list! A pool table (which is rare these days) darts and an aunt Sally throw. Food is fab we had the burger, fish n chips & ham egg n chips all really tasty and portions are generous. Guinness is tasty! Not a bad word :) With love Georgie and Craigy X

Great village pub. Lovely food. Good ambiance. Service was first class and staff and landlord very very friendly and helpful

Very accommodating staff and excellent value food for a pub!Nothing was too much trouble. Very busy on Mothering Sunday but a table for 7 was available when we booked at the last minute on Friday! Great value, good pub food.

Its always good to find a good village pub and the Oxfordshire Yeoman is a good find. Great choice of ales, food available and a warm welcome, you cant ask for more. Only stopped for a drink, but intend to return and sample food as it looked good value.

Really wonderful Sunday lunch in traditional friendly pub.Choice of roast beef, pork or chicken and nut roast too.Trimmings included large Yorkshire pud, stuffing and part of a lovely fat sausage wrapped in bacon hidden under the beef... Great surprise. Plenty of proper greens and traditional veg , parsnips etc. and excellent roast spuds.Very reasonable at £8.25. They also do a smaller version at £5.95? But that would be a silly idea wouldn't it! Here's the next great thing.. They did a mini rhubarb crumble with oodles of custard, which is all you need after the mega main.I'm going back for Christmas lunch.

The most delightful and cozy pub hidden away in a little village in Freeland. It is a free house so variety is a plenty and the landlord is on eof the nicest most customer orientated guys you could ever like to meet. It is quite apparent that he would bend over backwards to treat each and every customer to the same service as if you were one of his own family.Great village pub that is welcoming to passer bys.This pub has character and more importantly soul. There is a good range of beers and wines and they offer typical pub food that when I was there was seemed to be being enjoyed by many people.Good pub/nice atmosphere/with a great open arm welcome

I've been before, but I went to the Greek Night recently. Trevor and his team are nice people, but the food -- as always -- was only average. There was nothing Greek in the flavours of the food. The Yeoman offers only average pub grub, and while it's not expensive, it's not great value for money. When I next go out, I'll go elsewhere.

A cracking local pub with a great atmosphere. Trevor the landlord and his team are friendly, the food is good value pub grub and there is a good selection of beer on offer with a guest ale always available. Give this traditional Pub a try....you won't be disappointed.

We all had Sunday lunch and I have to say this was the best Sunday lunch I have had in a long time !!!! EVEN BETTER THAN MY WIFE'S sorry Kerri

This is my second review of the Yoeman and is long overdue, living in the village of Freeland we now use the pub regularly, as a result of Trevor the landlord, who has transformed the pub experiance.The atmosphere is always good with a mixture age groups, locals and visitors alike.All staff are very friendly and professional, nothing is too much trouble.The food is consistantly god.We last visited on Fathers day and had Sunday lunch, which was superb, the place was buzzing and was great to see so many families out socialising.Taking friends there tonight, knowing we will have a great time.

Great British Fair with a warm hearted landlord and happy team. The food is good traditional pub food with a a little twist. The atmosphere is genuine and a warm welcome is always on offer and there is always something going on

We visited on Saturday as they opened at 6pm. First impressions: a lovely local 'village feel', very homely with a warm welcome off the barman, who was possibly the landlord. Lovely atmosphere with character. We ordered a sharing platter, small portion scampi & chips, homemade lasagne, which was delicious & sweet potato, spinach & coconut curry, also very tasty & thoroughly enjoyed. Local lads in having a beer & a chat, great food, friendly bar service & waitress. £46 for 3 meals, a starter & a drinks. Toilets spotless! We will definitely be back to this lovely little pub when we are next in the area. Thank you!...

My wife and I decided we would have another meal at this our local pub because we did not want to cook after a long flight back from the Dominican Republic. This is a rare event for us because we are not pub goers and if we eat out, it is normally at a restaurant on special occasions such as Christmas/New Year or on our Birthday. We have spoken to Trevor several times recently when we have passed by walking our friends dog and knew we would be well received.We both had an Irish Lasagne from the extensive menu that was washed down with the local beer and wine. The food was very well presented and very wholesome. It was excellent value for money and so can heartily highly recommend this establishment.

Trevor and his team create just he right mix of friendly welcomes, helpful advice and sound knowledge of their products. There is always three different ales to try that are well keep plus at pod range of other standard beverages. Food is honest pub fair cooked well in ways that offer persnal alterations, I chose to have a burger but without the bun but there was plenty still on the plate. Families so of all ages are welcome making it busy and noisy at times, but this just adds to the atmosphere.

We spent a very pleasant lunch time on a very pleasant summers day.Trevor the New Landlord is a Joy, as was the bar staff. basic or classic pub food cooked really well,good choice of ales at the bar.Trevor is trying very hard to the yeoman to a proper village pub/Keep up the good work

My wife and I enjoyed our meals of the "Kate & Sidney" and Chicken/Ham pies. Really tasty, well served. Landlord most friendly. Made a nice end to our day's travels.

New Landlord has introduced a good range of ales which get drunk very quickly so there is always something new to try, no bad ones yet.Food menu is small but home made, speciality house pies are particularly good as was the mash and well dressed salad.Good pub food at good prices an asset to villagers and visitors alike

Brilliant service from friendly staff, who delivered sumptuous food in front of a lovely open fire. A fantastic village pub to which I will definitely be returning.

This is just a situation report because this nice little village public house and eatery had closed for business.I live about 800 yards from it and I see it has a new independent landlord and is now open for business.I suggest anyone whom is in the area and wants to eat rings them first.

Stumbled upon this gem last night-on a random sat nav route- and well we found a gem. Valentine's night, 5 year old in tow and 2 very hungry adults-we needed feeding and wow what a find. An old pub with flagstone floors, run by a husband and wife team I think, there were a few people in already eating in this village pub...so we thought give it a try. Duck to die for, smoked haddock special, banana split divine and even though they weren't on the menu: a fab cheese plate. Lovely wines, good beer, friendly locals and little valentines decorations on the table....and reasonable priced too-main course about £8.95, desserts £3.95. Brilliant-go there now-we will be going back next time we are within 30 mins drive of it!!

Visited this pub after a recommendation on TA.Very nice location in the village of Freeland - a short drive from Witney.Good meals all round - particularly the steaks with lots of chips, salad, etc.Loved the puddings too.The couple who run the pub are friendly and welcoming.Very reasonable prices and no gastro-pub rubbish here!We will definitely be returning when we are next in the area.

The present landlord took over this small village public house in 2008. It is a small stone built building that has adequate indoor seating and a reasonably sized outside eating and drinking area with what I would call picnic barbecue type benches. It is adjacent to the village church and opposite the new village hall and large playing field. Since taking over, the pub has gone from strength to strength with the landlord and his wife providing very good meals at below local average prices. As well as Sunday lunches (best to book to avoid disappointment), he does special evenings such as a Fish and Chip nights and a Steak nights. There may be more variations on this theme.We have been there for a birthday meal and also with family and friends and we have never been disappointed.
