Have been here a few times and each time the atmosphere is friendly and warm. The food is lovely and the drinks are varied. There is a lovely conservatory area, and also a beautiful beer garden out back. The only small con is there is limited parking but I understand there is a church nearby where you can park

Popped in for lunch after searching for a pub on the way home from Oxford. This was in the middle of a little village which was lovely driving through. Food came out very quickly, generous portion sizes and most importantly tasted good! We did find the price a bit higher than what we're used to! For a Thai green curry, gammon egg and chips, a coke and a lime and soda we paid £40. Especially as it was no table service, staff not very talky we thought price was high. Sitting in garden was lovely and nice to see dogs allowed and treats for the dogs. -1⭐️ for the price -1⭐️ as we like getting to chat to staff a bit more in new places

Absolutely appalling customer service and attitude. I would not recommend this establishment. 45 minutes after ordering our main courses the waiter arrived with 3 of the five dishes advising they no longer had the other 2 and would we like to order something else. I have worked in hospitality and customer care for 30 years and am aware things can go wrong but the way the problems are handled is key. If the manager, landlord or chef had of come out and explained the situation and that there had been a mistake it could easily have been resolved and we could have enjoyed our birthday meal and eaten together, instead they sent the poor 16 year old part time waiter to the table who was not in a position to handle the situation. I asked the waiter if the manager would come and see us. He didn't arrive so 10 minutes later I asked again. Once again no one came to see us so I approached the person who had earlier welcomed us and sat us to our table. I asked why he had not come to see me and he said because he was busy and couldn't let people wait, (there were 9 people sat in bar, it wasn't busy), he then proceeded to ask why I had a problem and tried to fob me off saying it was because all the food they serve there is fresh ( which obviously doesn't explain the way its served, or not, in this case). There was not the slightest hint of an apology or explanation. When pushed he said he would remove the food we did not have from the bill (why thank you ! ). Becoming agitated with his lack of empathy and refusal to admit there had even been a problem coupled with some yokels jeering I rejoined our party, we paid and left. I can honestly say I have never experienced anything like it in hospitality and would never set foot in the establishment again which is a shame as the food that came didn't look as bad as the attitude. The whole situation could have been avoided with the manager coming to the table , advising there had been a problem , apologising asking what we would like instead and maybe even offering a bottle of wine or another drink whilst we waited (probable cost to the pub of a fiver). Instead all we got was the manager hiding in the bar then refusing to admit there was a problem, hence causing an argument. Go this establishment at your peril. The Fish and The Swan just up the road are friendly and hospitable and serve great food. Choose them.

I visited recently for a work lunch and I could not fault it. The location is lovely, parking is limited outside but there is overflow parking further down the main road, it’s a short walk. The pub is inviting and warm but not too stuffy. The staff were all friendly, inviting and very attentive especially for a large table. We barely had to wait for our food, once everyone had arrived and got their drinks, our starters were arriving, this was the same for our main and dessert. They timed it all very well. The food itself was lovely, great portion size and overall felt freshly cooked and like homemade food. Have already recommended to several people and would certainly visit again!

My friends and I decided to go out for dinner and also to watch the rugby at The Plum Pudding as it’s somewhere we’ve not been for years, sadly we won’t be returning after the way we were spoken to by the landlady! Two of us had a curry, this is priced at £17 and I can honestly say it was awful, the chicken was dry and there was virtually no tikka sauce, I personally think it had been cooked and heated up as the chicken was tough and the whole dish was bland, certainly not worth £17! another person in the group had fish and chips and when trying to cut into the batter some of the food ended up on the floor due to it being so over cooked, we asked to speak to the manager as we didn’t feel we could carry on eating the food, the landlady came over and asked in a very abrupt manner “ what seems to be the problem “ so we told her about the lack of sauce, the dry chicken and the over cooked fish, which I must add had hardly any fish in it, she was so rude didn’t give us the chance to say anymore and swiftly grabbed our plates and said “ I’ll take it off the bill and do you want anything else “ all said with such an attitude! I did ask her why was she being so rude to which she replied I’m not at all, what else do you want me to do ? To this I simply said just stop being rude to us, she then leant over to another member of the group and grabbed his plate almost hitting his wife in the face with it, obviously the landlady didn’t like the fact we had complained, we weren’t rude at all we just didn’t think it was right to have food of such a low standard served to us, it’s such a shame too because we all like the pub and the atmosphere & the spacious feel to it.

I stayed just one night at this oddly named pub whilst I was taking photographs at the remarkable Didcot railway centre which is about a 15-minute drive away. Located in a quiet area with easy parking outside I found the place to be both friendly and well equipped for an overnight stay. My bedroom was a reasonable size and had recently been refurbished. There was a desk for working, a flat screen TV, good Wi-Fi, a comfortable bed, hanging space and a chest of drawers, and a very modern bathroom with a walk in shower. I did not eat at the pub nor have breakfast there in the morning, but as an overnight stay it worked really well for me and I would stay there again if I was in the area.

A two night stay in a well patronised pub off the main road. Lots of space both in and outside. Serves cask beers and cider and is a CAMRA pub. Good food. Our room had a fridge in which our breakfast choices were kept and replenished. There is no cooked breakfast option but we were happy with a choice of cereals, croissants , yogurt. There was also some sliced meats, cheeses and orange jiuces. A bowl of fresh fruit and one of those George Clooney coffee thingies was fine for us. Good sized walk in wet room shower

My partner and I, along with some family, stayed at the Plum Pudding in September 2023 whilst attending a wedding nearby. The rooms were fantastic and the best rooms I've stayed in within a pub. Our room was clean, and fresh, and looked new. The en suite bathroom was a good size, excellent powerful shower, with toiletries too. The bed was comfortable and of good quality. There was a kettle, coffee machine and mini fridge in the room, which was stocked with items for a continental breakfast including croissants, cheeses, fruit, fresh milk, orange juice, bottled still and sparkling water, and a selection of sliced meats which was a superb touch. A brilliant location for us, but also a lovely area. We have eaten at the Plum Pudding previously with family and the food and service was fantastic, though we didn't eat on this occasion. There is also a separate entrance to the rooms, and so returning after the pub closed was not an issue. All the staff we encountered were very friendly, including the brunette lady cleaning the rooms in the morning, asking us how our stay was. It was incredibly hot weather during our stay due to the 30°C heatwave, but we had fans in the room, and the staff did what they could to keep the rooms cool prior to our arrival, and despite the heat we slept very well. Overall, a fabulous place to stay, and we would highly recommend to those considering it.

Decent selection of beers and ciders, friendly staff and a nice outdoor space with good size cover if the weather changes. Our last visit, three out of four of us had the roast pork for lunch, we all agreed it was probably the best roast pork each of us have had. Will be visiting again next year.

The sausages and mash were superb. The momager (Casey) was fantastic, knowledgeable and very professional. A slight challenge is parking, but there are options and this never posed any detriment to our stay. Will be booking for 2024.

We picked the Plum Pudding at random as a stopover on our way home from a week's holiday up country, and very glad we did. The service was great and the staff extremely helpful - Nicki in particular was a credit to her employers. The room was clean and well laid out with an en-suite wet room, plus a continental breakfast in the mini-fridge. There was also a coffee maker and the usual kettle. Our evening meal was delicious and reasonably priced, with a stunning cheese board to follow. They had a beer festival on, so the place was busy, but there was no waiting or congestion, and we were royally looked after. Would definitely stay again, it's a very friendly and comfortable venue with great food.

The Plum Pudding is an excellent pub and B & B. Fantastic food.Situated 5 minutes from the busy A34 in the small village of Milton, if you are travelling. Recently refurbed with 6 en-suite new bedrooms. Ideal for an overnight stay or two. Good for exploring Oxfordshire or evan The Cotswolds.The pub is very airy and has a pretty garden too. Food and drinks are locally sourced and they have an excellent chef. The Landlord and Landlady are very friendly and likeable and you will receive a warm welcome.We often visit The Plum Pudding and highly recommend it.What’s not to like, give it a try, Delicious

We had an inside table near the fire as it was a wet and cold February day... they also have a conservatory and garden for those wanting more of a view/better weather.We were served at the table for both drinks and food, which given the local pub (with quite a few locals at the bar) we were not expecting... overall small lunch for 2 with drinks was less than £20 so happy days.

Situated just 5 minutes from the busy A34 this is the perfect pub to break your and enjoy good food and great beers.There is a good selection from a number of local breweries and you are made to feel welcome as soon as you come in.We had two different baguettes which were both excellent. We had the welsh rarebit with Balsamic red onion chutney and the plum pudding pork sausage and onion. Slight disappointment was that they came with chips and not roast potatoes but they were excellent so not that disappointing !They hold a number of events and have a lunch special menu !The best compliment I can give is that I wish this was my local !!

The open layout is a traditional English pub, a mix of dark wood furniture with an open fire to keep you warm.You walk in straight onto the bar which has a range of beers and drinks. I sampled the range of pub beers from a fruity ale, a fresh lager and a dark stout all with a Plum Pudding related moniker. One side of the bar is a snug arrangement for sitting the other is an open dinning area.I was in with a work colleague, I opted for the gammon and they had the swordfish steak. Both were fair sized portions and cooked to our liking.Definitely a place for a friendly decent country pub meal or relaxing night out.

Roast dinners quite disappointing. Beef and lamb both tough , and Yorkshire puddings undercooked. Veg and gravy very nice. Cutlery too blunt to cut anything. Waitress just didnt listen when we ordered , and got a few things wrong. Quite disappointing

Great hotel located in the centre of Abingdon, Oxfordshire. Hotel booking was a last minute thing and glad we did. We arrived at the hotel and the management gave us a room upgrade to a suite 🎉🥳 The room was comfortable with all the modern amenities and a large bed. Gutted I didn't take pictures. There's ample parking in the hotel carpark or outside the hotel. Located on the main high street and close to all the shops, pubs and restaurants. The breakfast was included in the price and was served in the restaurant next door. Service and food was 5 stars. We hung around after check out and the bar area is well stocked and great staff working there. A friend's car broke down and we needed jump leads and thankfully a member of staff at the hotel lent us his pair and we were able to get back on the road. There's a lovely courtyard area that is in the middle of the hotel.

We stopped here for lunch on our way home from holiday. Service was friendly. We both had the chicken, ham and leek pie with veg and chips. The pie and chips were very nice but the veg was under-cooked, the beans in particular being virtually raw. We were, however, immediately given a reduction on the cost of the meals because of that and it wouldn't put us off visiting again.

We had a very enjoyable birthday lunch here. However, it seems unsure whether it is a restaurant or a gastropub. Food quality and presentation were up to the standard of a high quality restaurant. So were the prices! The staff were very professsional (and we noticed that they close once a week for staff training). However, it still looks and feels like a pub, with a bar, wooden seating, no tablecloths, casually dressed staff, and they neded one or two more staff both in the kitchen and serving. They should either put in place the finishing touches for it to be a fine restaurant, or dial down a bit, particularly on prices, and present it as a really good gastropub.
