The Plough Bicester in Cherwell

Friendly well run pub, nice vibe, nice size (not small but cozy atmosphere) and seemed very clean when we visited. Free parking (for customers) with an easy to navigate car park and car registration system. Good menu with all the pub classics plus Gluten free options available. Pretty good value. Would recommend.

The place was fantastic and the food was a taste supreme if you have time our need a great pint our a warm home cooked meal please go and check it out you won't regret going great staff lovely and friendly 😀

Situated nicely away from the town centre with a lovely pub garden.

Lovely pub with friendly staff. Food was delicious and good selection of beers

Stayed for the first time and it is everything we could have asked for if not more. Staff were so friendly and so helpful, proper family feel. Perfect location to Bicester town and 15 min walk to Bicester village! Even stocked a fridge in the room with water / fresh orange juice, also catering for milk allergies by having soya and oat milk. Lovely pub full of character , old fashioned but modern twist especially in thw rooms also :) We look forward to staying again very soon 😀

The food took quite a long time to arrive, but when it did, it was delicious.

Fantastic pub in Bicester, I come here regularly, and the food as service is always top notch. It's got the feel of a traditional pub (which is very hard to find in this day and age) with an extra edge. They have a huge selection of beers, wine and tasty cocktails - I would recommend the espresso martini. We threw my Mum's birthday party here and the team went above and beyond to make everything perfect. They now do regular hog roasts and live music days which is always a blast. Conveniently located on the outskirts of town and there is parking.

Wohoo lovely chips all night long :-)

Myself, family and friends have visited numerous times since The Olive Tree Company took over and we have enjoyed our visit on every occasion. The owners and their team are great, friendly and always smartly dressed and you’re always given a warm welcome. The food is fabulous too. Having tried numerous dishes I can honestly say they are delicious. The new management have given The Plough a new lease of life. I look forward to my next visit,

We stayed at The Plough in Bicester for two nights while attending a family wedding in a venue nearby. We had a warm welcome. It is pub with 6 rooms. The double bedded room with en-suite bathroom was very comfortable with tea and coffee making facilities, small fridge and hairdryer. It has a small parking area behind the hotel that is free to hotel guests once your car is registered with reception. The breakfast was varied and well presented. Very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you

The staff when seen were lovely. The location good. The stay awful.. Noisy till 1 am with screaming and shouting from an event which we were not told about. The breakfast awful.. No cereal no extra coffee.. No normal toast.. The picnic breakfast awful was left at wrong door over night in 20+degree heat. When looking for someone to complain to no members of staff on site over night. Room dated with damp see pictures. It's a shame the rooms are dated as downstairs is lovely. Emailed owners with complaint but 3 days later still no response. Disgusting.

An unexpected find- we just dropped in as a break on a very long journey. Extremely friedndly landalady and bar food a cut above what we were expecting: a club and reuben sandwich beatutifully and promptly made. Great value for money. As you can see from the picture of the bar not neccessarily an ideal destniation for those with strong voews on animal rights. Outstandingly clean.

Great pub, been a few times and the atmosphere is always good and the staff awesome. Special thanks to Tom who gave great service and always has a smile on his face, keep up the good work! Aaron who I believe is one of the owners is also really kind and gives great service even when he’s not on the clock. Love this place and I hope you will give it a go!

Staff were so friendly and attentive that they made us feel very welcome! Would definitely come here again and would definitely recommend 👌

A last minute visit decision after getting the X5 back from oxford to Bicester found a very pleasant interlude. We stopped off at the Plough on the way home from a very long and tiring day out in Oxford. We were very hungry, but didn’t want a full meal. It was a lovely evening hence we sat outside. The Plough has a very nice garden, lovely with its beautiful olive tree and other herbs tastefully planted in milk churns. We ordered some light bites whilst ordering our drinks inside before finding seats outside. We didn’t realise there was a pizza oven outside and lovely pizzas being made to order, so we just had to order one to share before our small plates came out. The pizza was delicious and eased off the hunger pangs. We’d ordered some olives with a selection of gorgeous breads, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, also a baked Camembert and chutney. It was super lovely sat in the garden with excellent food, wine and beer and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The only downside I would say was when we ordered a taxi for home. The taxi couldn’t drive into the carpark to pick us up. We had to go out onto the main road which didn’t make sense. The driver explained they weren’t allowed to drive into the carpark, because there was a charge. The simple answer to us would be to collaborate with the local taxi firms and take their registration numbers and let them drive in and out. That way a much better customer service experience for the Plough guest I would have thought and safer.

Family meal, would highly recommend outstanding food & service

Came for lunch, food was very nice, service was brilliant and had a very friendly atmosphere... definitely be back!!

Difficult parking but great pub and lovely food

Shirt version: Avoid. Long version: Dropped in for dinner with my partner, our two boys (2 & 4) and my parents. The first round of drinks came incomplete (my beer was missing). This went unnoticed by the waitress. Then we ordered food and two whiskys. Then I asked the waitress about my beer (after 20 minutes). And now I got it. Then she came back to ask again what whiskys we ordered 5 minutes ago. Now arrive the whiskys. As you can see, this was already a pretty sketchy start. Now the hammer part: Another 30-40 minutes pass without any deliveries. The waitress passes us by a few times. Then I ask one of her colleagues about our food, who furrows his brow and goes into the kitchen. A few minutes pass and I spot him leaving the kitchen and hurriedly going behind the counter. I follow him already agitated about the situation and inquire: he tells me, that regretfully the kitchen has closed without our orders being processed. (The waitress did not forward our order) He is apologetic and offers us to open up the kitchen to prepare the meals, and a refund for the drinks we had. At this point my boys are completely tired and hungry, out of control. We leave hungry and disappointed. Credit goes to this waiter as he recognises how serious of an issue this is in a restaurant and promises that next time when we visit we "will be looked after". Thanks, but we were on a south England tour and it is unlikely that there will be a next time. Later on in the evening I am told by a member of our party that they caught a glimpse of the waitress in the kitchen next to the food being prepared: she was picking off nibs off other people's orders. A seemingly nice place ruined by an absolutely unprofessional staff member.

Really sweet little inn. Quite quirky and really lovely. Perfect for a quick one-night stay, especially when you’re travelling for business and need a good value accommodation, but don’t want to spend a night at your bog-standard Premier Inn. The rooms are clean and lovely and the pub itself is located quite close to all local amenities and a stone’s throw to Bicester town centre. You would be forgiven to think that as an inn you will hear a lot from the downstairs pub, but that’s absolutely not the case. It’s very well soundproofed. Would return.

I stayed here last night, as soon as i walked in a woman with dark hair who was wearing a plough apron , so was clearly a staff member bumped into me and didn’t even apologise.I ignored this as i thought it would be a one off, i checked in, went to my room and all i could smell was sewage. It was revolting and made me feel so ill, again, i ignored it and went on with my evening. At tea time i went downstairs to get food, i ordered a burger and fries, the fries were stale and had a hair in them and the burger was burnt and was tasteless. I was so disappointed, i went upstairs to bed , pulled back the duvet on my bed and there was a yellow stain on it. Will never be staying here again, disgusting environment and rude workers, keep your distance.

Clean your beer lines, your beer tastes awful. And your coke is flat.

We had a lovely meal Saturday night. Great atmosphere and fabulous staff. Thank you 😊

Great pub with varied local guest beers on tap weekly. Excellent customer service and good atmosphere.

one of the nicest Sunday lunches I have ever had, service was quick and with the nicest of smiles by all the staff. Made my Mothers Day

Stayed over night. Checked in and greeted in our room to a lovely surprise of complimentary bubbles for my birthday. Unfortunately that’s where the good times stopped. When we asked when breakfast was we were told no chef on Wednesday, so no food Monday Tuesday or Wednesday!! As we asked if we could eat dinner firstly. Our breakfast was left on the floor outside our room. A stale croissant and half a chopped orange each. Not what we’d paid for. In the night around 2 am the room next door came crashing in and were in out in out all night!!! The smell was bad so they were not the typical hotel guests !!!!! Tried to give out key back to no one being there to take it. Couldn’t complain in the night about the noise as no one in the hotel over night plus no one in the morning. Did complain through hotels.com when home who rang them and they refused to give any money back. All in all please avoid as I wouldn’t want anyone to go through a night of hell and have to pay for the privilege. Owner needs to not charge for breakfast at lease if not provided!!!! Down right robbery

A group of us went for food and it was delicious, the atmosphere is great and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The new owners have turned the Plough into a lovely place to go.

The plough is just the perfect place to go for a comfortable, warm, delicious lunch. We had a roast dinner and wine and it’s just perfect. Thank you for 10/10 service 10/10 food

Relaxed atmosphere, excellent food. It's cooked well, it looks good and it taste as it should. Service is confident and effective. Overall an excellent sunday lunch.

Closed again when should be open. Alrwady sick of the pub being closed as there is a "private function" and now not open on a Monday. Try looking after the locals and people will visit Monday to Friday. Closed on a Monday and your a Hotel. Enough is enough we won't be wasting our time walking all the way there again. Visit the Angel, Littlebury, White Hart instead

Awful experience. It took ages for them to answer the phone when trying to book ( called because online booking not working.) Eventually got through. The person on the phone was doing everything to put me off going. "We are busy" Theres only one of me" booked anyway I needed a meeting point. Day of booking Walked into the pub. Totally empty! Staff just lolling around. The chef just sitting behind the bar. Asked if I would like a drink " I,d love a coffee ") Sorry the machines broken.. The place was unclean and in need of TLC. What a contrast to my last very pleasant visit in 2022. Very sad.

Good selectionof drinks and staff very friendly

On arrival we could smell cannabis and urine. The room itself was so cold, grubby carpets, and generally dirty. I sat on the bed which wasn’t steady and made so much noise creaking. I was not very well at the time, and we soon realised that we could not sleep comfortably the night, the bed was not fit for purpose! After less than 5 minutes of entering the property I politely asked for a refund and left the premises. The manager was intimidating, and very arrogant. He informed me he didn’t have our money that booking.com would refund us. On checking with booking.com they agreed to refund providing the manager would agree and they would need to ring for confirmation. I sat waiting for a call back in the car unwell, however when they rang him for confirmation he refused the refund. We could easily have booked the travelodge for £30 instead we paid the extra money to have what we thought somewhere nicer more comfortable and cosier. This definitely was not. The fact we also booked on the same day and arrived within an hour of booking as a gesture the manager could have agreed to the refund and so should booking.com. Poor service all round

Nice pub ,good atmosphere great food.

The Plough is a cosy, warm friendly pub with traditional features and amazing food. We felt like we had a country holiday after just one night stay. Highly recommend the breakfast and Sunday lunch.

Very small portions but good food nonetheless.great pub. Always greeted well.

Traditional pu atmosphere within a hotel/guesthouse

First visit today was for a late breakfast bap (vegetarian) and coffee. Would recommend it, great service, well presented food, good coffee.

Christmas party time woohoo…..or so we thought. Evening started off not great with our table not yet ready due to the previous party running over. Booking was for 7pm. We eventually sat down around 7.30, we asked for a complimentary drink because of the wait and it was a point blank NO. I quote the manager(Sean) say “let the food do the talking” very confident there!!! ….starters eventually served at 8pm majority of us ordered the Camembert which was listed to come with bread and cranberry sauce, when it was presented to us we saw bread STICKS on the plate - so one of us questioned that and referenced the Christmas menu to be told “menus changed its breadsticks and should have always said breadsticks” her manner was quite stand off-ish and rude. We asked for bread - no bread - yet the soup came with bread 🤔. One plate had an added extra…..a HAIR!!!!! No staff around to make them aware of it and we were hungry so ate a bit of the cheese and bread sticks. Eventually someone came over asked how everything was and we made them aware of the hair….she went off and back Sean came….I quote “what’s the problem…” we explained “let me see……well it’s not mine!!” Yes Sean clearly it’s not yours YOU HAVE NO HAIR ON YOUR HEAD!!! he was very defensive, stand off-ish and just wouldn’t listen or allow any of us to speak. Plates cleared and 2 random bottles of presecco arrived on the table, glasses heavily handed placed on to the table by the waitress. Mains came out….half had turkey half had lamb….parsnips raw…..turkey dry….luke warm…..roast potatoes covered in pepper. By this point there was a horrible atmosphere in the air and I didn’t actually want to eat my food - by this point I felt like my night was ruined. Another party had a similar experience and walked out due to the lack of service and attitude from staff. Pudding…..let’s try and end on a high…..chocolate delice (not a clue what it was but had been looking forward to it) waitress came out and shouted “millionaires shortbread” we looked at each other and the order form - no shortbread on there….I looked at the original menu no millionaire shortbread on there either, so we mentioned that and was abruptly told “we don’t have chocolate delice….this is in its place” AMAZING…..we asked for the manager. Sean came over and again abruptly told us there was a supplier issue and they didn’t know about it until today blah blah blah…..we pointed out that they could have called us…..you could have told us on arrival….there might be someone allergic to an ingredient in the replacement desert….he didn’t really care. Claimed that his earlier reaction to the hair on the starter was a JOKE!!!! A joke Sean….nothing funny about a hair on someone’s plate and stating the obvious that it wasn’t yours!!! We asked for money off the final bill and was offered to be charged for the 2 course meal instead of the 3 course (we already decided we weren’t eating the puddings) £3 difference per person…..that’s it…..I think we can do better than that Sean….so I asked him…..got me no where - he didn’t listen, he didn’t care. We paid and couldn’t get out of there quick enough!! I’ll never go back to the plough, I’ll never recommend it to anyone which is a shame as that place has always been special to me on a personal level. Georgia the manager previous was amazing, attentive, kind and understanding since she has left the place has gone down hill. Thanks for ruining our works Christmas party an event we were all looking forward to!!!!

This pub could be great if the younger staff learned how to talk to customers and tend to their needs as per the job of waiting staff. They sat around talking to each other and watching people which made us feel uncomfortable, left dirty plates, didn't ask about drinks, messed up the final bill, were seen picking up food with their hands.(We sat opposite the serving hatch) I was amazed that one said 'pass that plate' leaning over me at the table gesturing at the person opposite. No please or thank you. The man who was on the carvery was run ragged trying to manage them and do their job whilst trying to do his own. He was very jolly and helpful and quite frustrated! The service was slow and poor but food ok once it arrived. It's a shame as we enjoyed it the previous year for another family meet up.

I was looking forward to some lovely food. Absolutely shocking, Beef looked like it had a couple of minutes in a pan, very red, bloody. The vegetables tasted like they'd been dipped in and out of a pan. The roast potatoes the same no crispness at all they were white. I've complained and also my family they really don't care. Worst ever. They should be ashamed.

Absolute train wreck coming here! This was pre-booked as a work Christmas dinner. Food choices were confirmed a few days prior to arriving. I will start with the positives: The lamb was bloody delicious and one member of staff (A lady with long dark hair and glasses was amazing. Her customer service was impeccable) Now, the negatives. *The on duty manager was beyond rude. Even staff members were telling him he shouldn’t be speaking to customers the way he was. * A starter had a bonus free hair included with it, yet there was responsibility taken or apology. *Bar staff weren’t listening correctly to drink orders. * The turkey was dry and looked like the pre cooked slice turkey you buy in Tesco. *The toilet rolls were on upside down (this is a bit of a personal big bear of mine, and yes I changed them to the correct way) *Main meals weren’t brought out together. Half the table had theirs 10mins before everyone else. *Veg massively undercooked and inedible. *Desserts completely different from what was pre-ordered, no mention of this when we arrived and no regard to any potential food allergies with the change. *The starters were also not what was pre-ordered. Another problem that was our fault and not the pubs. We were not the only table to leave as it was a complete shambles.

Absolutely shocking customer service. After multiple failures with our booking and meal no compensation was offered at all, in fact we were made to feel it was our fault. The person ‘in charge’ Sean couldn’t even use the word sorry! He’s clearly in the wrong job. One of the waitresses was also very rude. I felt sorry for the other two who were trying their best but working with people who clearly didn’t care. Such a shame as we had an amazing meal in January 2023.

We pre booked a set menu for Christmas back in September, we called beginning of the week before we were due to go to confirm the food orders. All was good. Arrived for our table at 7 only to be told there was another party still there and we would have to wait. No apology. The other party left the table at 7.20, it was then cleaned and we sat down around 7.30 No crackers or water.asked if we could have a complimentary drink and was told no, Starter arrived around 8 - the menu had apparently changed and we were not informed despite having to pre book food. There was a hair on the plate, when we complained we were told quite rudely by the manager ‘well it’s certainly not mine’ apparently this was meant to be a joke but that was not how it came to the whole table!! The manager then disappeared again no apology, nothing! Two random bottles of Prosecco arrived Mains arrived vegetables were hard and some almost inedible, no sauce, no stuffing, potatoes covered in pepper which if you like pepper wouldn’t have been an issue. The serving staff (not all) were very rude and abrupt - shocking customer service from a pub, especially one that was so good last time! Desserts came - complete different food to what had been ordered - we couldn’t eat the it, apparently there were supply issues but we weren’t told this on arrival, It was a very disappointing evening, we have had work meals at the plough before but tonight was disappointing on every level, the manager was beyond rude and if that’s how you chose to run your business then good luck! We weren’t the only table to walk out tonight!

Very poor communication. Couldn’t get to check into my room. I was travelling from Scotland and booked this room to stay they didn’t contact me to tell me that check in was closing 20 minutes after I booked the room. No where stated this as I was booking it either. Had to sleep in my car terrible service! Will not refund me either.

Do not use. Booked a table 3 weeks ago for a table of 5. Called them today only to be told they have no record of booking even though we have the confirmation email and that they have booked in a private event so they can’t honour the booking. Seems to me that they got a more lucrative offer and decided not to honour the bookings already made. Terrible service

Fantastic Sunday lunch with family. The carvery was lovely - beef cooked to perfection, nice and pink and melt in the mouth.

Great Sunday roast! We had nut roast with all the trimmings and everything was delicious. Great atmosphere and lovely staff!

Lovely pub for a quick pint before getting the train.

Good carvery on Sunday. Getting to and from there and the table can be a bit tricky with the lack of space but the food is great and the staff are lovely.

Very busy and staff were incredibly attentive

No wonder its half price fish chips on Friday with rubbish chips well I mean fries that's not chips

Lovely pub with incredibly friendly and helpful staff, from the ladies at the bar to the chef! We acknowledge that we can be difficult customers because of various food allergies but these guys were just brilliant and seemed happy to help too. Great food and drinks, comfy room and perfect location near Bicester centre and shopping village.

Called in on the way home from Bicester Village and was welcomed warmly by Sean behind the bar. Good service and tasty good value vegetarian Sunday carvery. They even catered for us with vegetarian gravy! Tables clean, efficient and friendly Service. The chef checked we were enjoying our meal and Sean ran a tab so we could just sit back and relax. Absolutely stuffed!! No Sunday tea needed!!! Well done

I stayed here this week with friends after a shopping trip to Bicester. The pub is very pleasant - good steak, wine and excellent breakfast. The rooms are a different matter entirely. Filthy with dust everywhere. In need of total revamp.. trailing wires, grotty shower, carpets stained, disgusting bin.. I could go on. I cannot believe it meets fire standards. I have to say that bed sheets appeared clean but I couldn’t recommend anyone to stay.

Must be the worst pub in bicester…. The smell from the toilets was overwhelming. I don’t want to be smelling urine while having a drink. Use to be such a good pub… with a warm welcoming fire … now your just welcomed by the stench of p*ss!!

The Sunday Carvery is absolutely delicious. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the food was great. It is really nice to see a carvery back in Bicester. There was a good choice of vegetables, meat and sauces. The yorkies were huge, the potatoes crispy and vegetables were not over cooked. Well done to all the staff . 🥰😍

Dog friendly, friendly team, nice environment, no complaints!

Lovely carvery! One of only a couple places to do a Carvery in Bicester! Brilliant staff!

Location excellent, rooms basic and clean. Reflected in the price. No complaints.

Booked 3 rooms for my bridal party in July. The rooms were unique and quite quirky which we loved but could do with a bit of TLC. The wooden door in the downstairs room had warped so jammed close and took a long while to open to get our stuff out. The handle on the shower door was also hanging off. The upstairs rooms were very hot and only one had a plug in fan that was very small. When asking a member of staff if there were any fans, my friend was told ‘I start at 6 I’ll look then’. We never got the fan. The staff were generally friendly and attentive apart from that and let us use some champagne flutes from the bar in the room while getting ready. They said these would be cleared away during the day and the room freshened but unfortunately they were still there when we returned after the wedding. This was a bit disappointing as it was our wedding night. The chef was playing loud music from 7am and as our room was ground floor, this woke us up. The rooms could be really nice with just a bit of a freshen up and addition of fans on the summer months. Would probably recommend for a one night stay but not for a special occasion like a wedding or party.

Absolutely brilliant place. It's family run and a very welcoming and friendly place. Our room is beautifully presented, in keeping with the age of the building and there's lots of attention to detail; for example the full bale of generous towels for tow on the bed and a great selection of teas in the room. A wee gem

Not gone yet, booked a room here for me and the GF hoping to shop till we drop,

I've always been a fan of the Plough. Great food But the Sunday Carvery is extremely good. The staff are wonderful

Very poor! Rooms are filthy and food is below average. What a waste of money

Sunday Carvery was superb, Roast beef excellent, Pork great with perfect crackling. Help yourselves to roasties and veg so our plates were well stacked. Our picky three year old at most of her kids roast too. Lovely customer service throughout and overall great value for money.

We went for the carvery and was enjoying until some cauliflower was opened up and exposed a worm. Told the staff who came back and said it was a piece of rosemary we took a photo and zoomed it was definitely a worm. Member of...

Lovely friendly atmosphere, really welcoming to my little dog. Food was flavoursome and will definitely return.

Went with my family for fish & Chips. The fish was enormous and the chips and peas in luding the fish was well cooked. Really, could not finish it. Only down side the lack of choice of relish. Otherwise a deserving 5 stars.

We had lunch at this place and staff very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to visit again.

This delightful little boozer, located plumb-centre between Bicester North station and the town centre (making it ideal for a tipple on the way into town) is everything you'd expect from an old, North Oxfordshire pub with an up-market feel: plenty of ales on tap, chatty staff and locals, and a lovely little beer garden for whiling away the summer hours. Cheers!

We used this pub as an overnight stay over traveling back from Norfolk to Devon It turned out to be a good choice with very friendly and helpful staff Top tip - they don’t do food on a Monday or Tuesday evening at the moment...

I booked a room as part of a birthday present for my partner (I wanted to stay closer to Silverstone for the British GP rather than driving over an hour each day from home) and was left extremely disappointed. The room was by far the filthiest I’ve ever stayed in. In truth, I’ve stayed in cleaner hostels across Europe. The carpet hadn’t been hoovered, let alone cleaned. Even at first glance it looked dirty, and then I found a contact lens on the floor, amongst other bits of dirt. I put the contact lens in the bin that also had no bin bag in it. In the bathroom, there is no toilet brush. The shower screen is caked in limescale and clearly hasn’t been cleaned in a very long time, if at all. The corners of the shower, the grout and the sealant were mouldy. The paint on the ceiling is flaking off and is in disrepair. The extractor fan is caked in thick dust. Then there’s the bathroom door! The back of which is painted white but is now brown with dirty, greasy hands having been all over it and never wiped down or repainted. The fan in the room has no guard. While it’s unlikely someone would put their hand into it, I do worry about an errant towel or long hair when exiting the bathroom. Or, a child losing a finger or two when they get curious. The tea/coffee holder hadn’t been cleaned, the bedside light flickers until you tap the bulb a few times. It does the same when you move the power block - loose connection? I cannot comprehend how they think it’s acceptable to offer a room in this kind of condition. It’s nothing to do with the building being old, it’s just cleanliness. Their staff aren’t cleaning it and necessary repairs aren’t being made either. Frankly, I would be embarrassed to show someone to this room and at £105 for a single night, they’re charging more than many Premier Inns, which most people class as low-end. Yet, they’re clean at the very least. They completely failed at all the basics and this has been noted in reviews over the past months and years now that I’ve looked deeper. Even with countless people (almost all of them) writing similar things to me, they haven’t actioned anything! It’s shameful. If you’d like a single positive, I will say that the staff at check-in and at the bar were friendly and polite. I contacted the property via the booking platform and via email and had absolutely no response in 8 days. Once they did finally respond, they took no responsibility for the issues and made no apology; only excuses.

Very friendly, even our dog got a biscuit! We had some lunch and it was reasonably priced and there was lots of it. Lovely pit stop and if we’re in the area again would come back.

The most friendly amazing people. Couldn’t do enough for us. The Sunday lunch was delicious. Thank you too for paying so much attention to our little dog, he was treated like a king. We will definitely be back.

The Plough hosted a 21st birthday for our son and the entire evening was amazing from start to finish. The staff here are an asset. They offered to do things for us that weren’t expected including setting up the party and clearing up. Nothing was...

A regular stop for breakfast. Always good. Veggie options too.

I was looking for a venue for my husband’s 50th, just somewhere I could reserve an area rather than book the whole place. So glad we used this pub. As the weather was good, we were allocated the ‘barn’ outside, Ella was more than happy to accommodate my demands! She and her colleagues put up all the balloons (over 70 of them!), stored the ‘cake’ (aka giant pork pie), and generally looked after us all so well. And even cleaned up after us and stored presents until the morning. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.

Great place, staff are very helpful and it's dog friendly, also the food is very good and reasonably priced

Excellent place: went for a meal, rather than staying at the hotel. Met up here with friends, recently. We all had a very tasty burger, although other decent things were on the menu. I had a couple of pints of Old Speckled Hen. Was interested in another Ale, so they let me have a taster. No issues with parking (we all came in our cars) - parking in the pub car park. Friendly service, decent food, and a relaxing environment.

I’ve just got home from my stay at the plough I would like to say that on entering the pub me and my wife was greeted by a lovely lady, she showed us to out room (No.2), on entering it looked lovely, but further inspection...

Lovely meal . Staff were excellent. No complaints and very reasonable on price .

Great small pub with a friendly atmosphere and good bar snacks and brilliant staff, that's not including bottomless brunches and 2 for 1 steak nights

Amazing food, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. We will be back!

The room was very disappointing, it didn’t look as advertised on the website. The room was dark and immediately became evident that it wasn’t clean!!! The bedroom was very dusty and dirty! I found hair, dust and an old ear stud from another resident under...

Had a family meal here for Easter Sunday. It’s been a while since I have been to the Plough and last time I was there the food quality was variable. However, this visit it was much improved, I can honestly say it was one of...

The Plough Bicester is like a village pub but set in the top of the town. It’s a quirky pub with friendly inviting staff who ensure our visits are enjoyable every time. We particularly enjoy the Sunday roasts and having tried Sunday roasts in other...

An entirely reasonable Sunday roast. The chicken was good value, providing half a bird, while the lamb was more meagre but we all ended up satisfied. They did a good job on the veg - serving it separately and doing a good job of seasoning...

Was ok. Nothing to write home about. A pub that serves food. Ordered ok, but not asked of more needed or any additional drinks required. Wouldn't go again, but as I say, a pub that serves food.

Wow what a lovely friendly atmosphere. Staff are very attentive. Great beers. All in all a great night thanks to all the staff at the Plough. Will definitely be back. 5*

First impressions of this place is that it looks like a tip - the car park is scattered with junk. The place is untidy and looks neglected. The bar doesn't smell pleasant and needs a good clean. The room upstairs was just as hideous with...

We stopped by for a cocktail - ask at the bar if they serve espresso martini and answer was Yes, after paying and waiting in Table staff member informed us „its TOO BUSY so they won’t make it” - what a joke! 🙈 i understand if there is No Coffee etc but what a problem to take your Time And Just make it even if busy.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff who always willing to help. Open Mike nights, bottomless brunches and brilliant Sunday lunches a great pub.

Lovely people. Lovely food, definitely be back
