The Plough Shiplake in South Oxfordshire

Great spot for a little family lunch. Sandwiches & cakes are delicious, nice surroundings & friendly staff. There’s also a box of books for kids to amuse themselves with. Not inexpensive but lovely for a treat.

We decided on Sunday morning to try the Red Lion for lunch, and booked a table for 1330. We arrived and were met by efficient staff who were expecting us and offered us a choice of table. Drinks were ordered from a knowledgeable waiter and arrived quickly, mine being a very well-kept pint from tge local Amwell Springs brewery. We both chose beef from an extremely well thought-out menu which again arrived after only a short wait. The meat was beautifully cooked and presented on a large plate with very well cooked greens, carrots and a freshly-made Yorkshire puddings. Sides of cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes were excellent, probably the best roasties I've had, and the horseradish was similarly delicious. We both cleared our plates and the side dishes. Utterly gorgeous, go and see for yourself.

Excellent breakfast this morning, staff were very responsive to a couple of requests we made. Delicious food, very clean, lovely atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend!

We booked at the last minute on a very cold night hoping for some wholesome warming food and we were not disappointed. Best Sotch Egg you will ever have as a shared starter followed by Smoked Ham Pie for madam and Beef Stew for sir and then a shared Hollygog Pie for pud. The food was fantastic, well done chef, and the waiting staff were charming. Wonderful evening, highly recommended.

Excellent value for money. Such friendly and helpful staff, always willing to help Good quality food and doesn't cost a fortune. Well done the dolphin
