The Seven Stars at Marsh Baldon in South Oxfordshire

As Chairman of the Oxfordshire Region of The Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club, I arranged for any evening (last night) at the 7 Stars for some 22 of our Members, Friends and Partners. Between us we must have had every menu option and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves fully. Our Jaguars outside certainly made a statement and led to other patrons chatting to us and drinking more of the bar's varied offerings. The flaming brulee was a particular highlight and memory from the evening.

Traditional country pub serving a great selection of ales and excellent food. My lamb was very tasty and well presented and the apple crumble not over sweet with a delicious crunchy topping.

One of the best pubs I’ve been to in England. The food was sooo good. Definitely coming back next time I’m in Oxford!

Popped in here on Sunday on the off chance they would have room. Never been here before. Lovely place. Lovely people. Really welcoming. Service was brilliant. The smell from the kitchen was amazing. When the food came I was a very happy lady. Fabulous place. Decent prices. Would thoroughly recommend it. And I'll be coming back again in the very near future.

Enjoyed a lovely dog walk around toots baldon and marsh baldon - followed by a superb lunch at the Seven Stars . Food was piping hot and delicious - I had the chicken supreme and my friend had the sea bream. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely be going here again.

Amazing lunch - fabulous service. Dogs are welcome too! Would thoroughly recommend.

Updating the star rating to reflect the two subsequent visits after the Seven Stars was taken over by new management. I see the current team is doing well - and I'm glad to see it - but I have not been sufficiently inspired to return in the past year to dine there again. My 5 star rating was for the previous team under the Free Spirit Pubs group, who sold the Seven Stars in 2023. Luckily we happened to go on one of the last days of service in May and got to eat Pat's legendary roast dinners one more time. Those were good times.

We went on Mothers Day 2025 Had a 3 course meal, all food was superb The staff are all very humble, extra kind and friendly. What a wonderful place to visit, lovely large garden too, will definitely visit there again. 5 stars all round.

We visit here maybe once a month as the service is great and really friendly and the food is always delicious. The normal pub menu has a great selection, all really well done - but our last visit was on a curry night and the thali (with the lamb curry) was just amazing, so we’ll definitely be going back for another curry night soon!

Great food experience. Amazing service, clean and quick. Must try the steak sandwich

You always get a warm welcome from the front of house staff at The Seven Stars and this Thursday’s visit was no exception. We had a fantastic evening at the Thali Night this week. The surroundings were immaculately clean and the atmosphere cosy. Despite there being lots of diners, our food was served quickly and efficiently and it was a delight. The Thali platter was delicious - a variety of well-flavoured dishes served with rice, papadum, chutney, raita. It was a complete and very satisfying meal. We will definitely be back very soon.

Very nice meal , staff were excellent, going back as soon as possible, loved it. Update , went back for Sunday lunch , outstanding. Best i have had in a long time.

As always, food fantastic, service on point & a homely atmosphere in the pub! Great work guys

Best Sunday roast in Oxfordshire.. Absolutely outstanding food and service. I had the roast beef and a lovely red, and the whole thing was exceptional!

Good portion sizes excellent quality food.Service very fast considering it was very busy.Would definitely visit again.

We went there for Holi celebrations. It was an awesome experience. The place is lovely. Food is delicious and very flavourful. Highly recommended. Will go again for sure. Thank you for the amazing hospitality.

Delicious food and excellent service. Very friendly. Our first time but will definitely be back. I had the prawn cocktail for starter and my husband had crab cakes. Then my daughter and I had the lamb, my husband the sea bream and my other daughter had the ceaser salad. All beautifully presented, delicious and just the right amount. Finished off with a wonderful crumble. All fabulous. The service was excellent as well and a very welcoming atmosphere. Thank you 😁

Visited with family for Sunday lunch today and will definitely be returning. The food was delicious and the portion size is very generous. Great selection of vegetables, crispy roast potatoes that were fluffy inside, homemade yorkshire pudding a plenty of gravy! The atmosphere was great, friendly and welcoming and the service was impeccable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thank you all 😊

The Sunday roasts are so good and the staff are lovely and the place has a great atmosphere. I am going there more and more as it’s just so nice 😊

A lovely village pub with great food to match. We eat here often and the food is always good. Lovely atmosphere and staff are very welcoming!!

Love this pub, recently visited on a Thursday Night and had the Indian Thalli with my Wife. Food was amazing service was better. The manager and his team can’t do enough for you. He told us they have been voted in the top 5 Oxfordshire pubs and based on our experience it’s easy to tell why. Would recommend this to all.

Booked for a family get together for 12 people, first visit to The Seven Stars and would definitely return, wonderful warm welcoming hosts, great service and Sunday Roast was absolutely delicious, generous portion sizes and food was beautifully cooked and presented, those that didn’t have Sunday Roast gave a big thumbs up for the fish and chips and cheeseburger. Dessert was equally delicious Sticky Toffee Pudding, Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake and Apple Crumble were the favourites. Thank you for a lovely lunch, thoroughly enjoyed by all.

We are regulars to this amazing pub and can only say that they are consistently good every time we go can’t recommend more!

The perfect picturesque pub, in a beautiful Oxfordshire village. There's always a warm welcome, with a real fire during the cooler months. And the food!!! Oh my goodness, the food is phenomenal. Today, I thoroughly enjoyed the beer battered haddock - unbelievably delicious; the batter in particular is truly exceptional! Please, do yourself a favour and visit The Seven Stars, you won't regret it!

Well what a find this was. We were looking for a pub to stop at for a break from our drive home and remembered seeing a sign last time we passed. A quick break turned into to lunch. We had the prawn sandwich which was lovely,all the food we saw being served looked brilliant. We will be returning and I recommend visiting the Seven Stars if you are in the area. 10/10

I took my mother for lunch at the seven stars Pub, which was absolutely wonderful. We both had a steak, my mother had apple crumble afterwards, and the quality of the food was the best. The steak was delicious with a very impressive portion and beautifully presented. The pub is so beautifully presented very modern and stylish and impeccably clean and the staff are so friendly and attentive and the customer service is the best. I’m

Been there so many times, the best food we ever had Highly recommend

Sunday roast dinner tasted to Indian too many spices not like a traditional roast

Myself and my party very much enjoyed our food, however we had an issue with our bill. When booking our table on the website, a voucher came up saying we could get 33% off our food. When we finish our meal and ask to use the voucher. We were informed we could not, as you were supposed to use it in the “comments” section of the booking. No where on the voucher does it say this. In fact, it says please inform your waiter of the voucher. So it caused a rather sour end of our enjoyable meal. I will attach a picture of the voucher.

We had the most amazing celebratory garden party and all down to Hamit and Sunit who provided a delicious indian banquet for our 50 guests. We had so many compliments...there was plenty of food and all cooked to perfection by chef Raja..... Thank you all so much Georgie and Paul x

Very nice meal excellent value nice atmosphere will be going back

Hidden secret in south Oxford. Amazing burger, friendly service, great prices.

Brilliant, excellent food & lovely service. We came to the pub for our family Christmas meal, and the staff at The Seven Stars catered for us very well. Also the communication before our meal was very good too!

Was really lovely to eat here! We came as a big group for our family Christmas and it was top notch!

Lovely cosy Bar with log fire. Staff very friendly.

Dekicious, excellent food, very good quality...

Always great food, sometimes with an Indian twist. Very popular with locals and the staff are really helpful.

We were a party of 16 enjoying the Christmas Festive menu. The food was excellent - flavoursome, hot and generous. The service was friendly, cheerful and efficient. The pub was very attractively decorated. We had a very good time.

Amazing food. Wonderful service. Not cheap but very good quality. Would definitely come again.

Delicious food and beverages, exceptional service, comforting ambience, welcoming staff, I loved the overall experience. What else could I ask for ? The place impressed me from start to finish. Thanks 👍

Visited for a Sunday lunch excellent food and outstanding service will definitely be returning

Fantastic Sunday roast. Excellent service from really friendly staff. Great pub. Highly recommended.

Was very busy on a Sunday lunchtime, our mistake to arrive early for our table. Initially all seemed a bit chaotic and thought about leaving but once seated we were well looked after. The team here is caring and works very hard. Well kept beer, remember to pull a full pint guys :) Food tasty and nice presentation, only criticism there wasn’t any crackling with my roast pork. It’s modern on the inside - worth noting if you prefer ‘cosy’ old school country pubs but that’s a matter of personal taste. Would go back because it definitely deserves a second chance.

Excellent landlord and food. Extremely quiet.

Absolutely fantastic. Wanted a Sunday lunch like home for my son in uni. We got everything we wanted. Great food, great staff. Great atmosphere. Superb. Thank you team.

We were disappointed to be sat in the main bar area when we had booked the dining/barn area and they didn't seem to have a reservation system in place. The bar area was very brightly lit and loud. It did also take a long time for our drinks order to be taken (although it was very busy so its understandable) and we found out the menu online was out of date - so things didn't get off to a great start. The food was however delicious. Perfect portion sizes, flavours and presentation. Service also much improved as the place quietened down. I would certainly return but maybe not on a Saturday evening. We have been before in the day and it's dog friendly with a lovely garden so will perhaps try a lunch next time.

Lovely pub with friendly, very helpful staff and really good food. Very relaxing Saturday lunch with family and friends.

Had a fabulous Sunday roast here today. The quality and portion size was outstanding. I still feel full hours later! Thank you

Excellent food and a very welcoming atmosphere. We visited for a birthday lunch and were pleased with all of our food selections. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. I've also previously had a great Sunday lunch here with friends. Definitely worth a visit.

I had booked this place to celebrate my wife’s birthday in advance and the entire experience has been just mind blowing. Not only is the staff very friendly but the entire atmosphere along with great food is icing on the cake. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who just wants to have a great time irrespective of if they want to plan a party or just want to eat out. Unlike other places where it becomes really difficult to customise your food if you have any allergies, this place can make ensure they can customise your order so that you don’t miss out on great food.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch with a large family group. Knowing how difficult Sunday lunches are in a restaurant environment we were very happy with what was served. We will be back soon.

Called in on the off chance on Saturday afternoon, wasn’t sure if they were still serving, fortunately they were Service was very good, we had fish and chips, the fish was wonderful, nice and crispy and tasty, the chips were a bit dry and tasteless For sweet I have the apple and pear crumble which was lovely, the other half had the lemon tart which was a bit of a disappointment Overall the food was good, but not quite great Nice spot to stop off at

Nice village pub with a great garden. Good food served inside and out by friendly helpful staff. Good wine selection, and I think good ales, but the other beer/cider selection a little dull (but that is being picky).

Amazing atmosphere with friendly service. Had a great evening at Steven Stars with flavourful and delicious dishes. Quality food..Highly recommend for a pleasant dining experience.

Had a lovely meal midweek at the Seven Stars... Good beer, great friendly staff and amazing food. He best place for miles around - would highly recommend !

Fantastic food, friendly staff, great atmosphere

Great food. Amazing . We ordered the lamb, Stuffed peppers with a side of chicken, Tsteak and the cod with crayfish. All were exceptional. Desert of the cheese board and the Tiramisu were equally as good as was the Chilean Chardonnay. Absolute great night / exceptional food

We had a meal here as we were staying nearby and after reading the reviews gave it a try. All the food we ordered was excellent. All very good quality and lovely flavours. For my main I had the lamb rump and it was excellent. So Nicely cooked. The sauces that went with it were perfect. The minted pea puree was perfectly balanced as the main didn't overpower anything. I was so impressed with this pub. The quality of the food was brilliant.

Exceptional Sunday Lunch . Variety of menu choice, quality of food and friendliness of serving staff were all a delight. Will look forward to visiting again.

Great place for food and drinks lovely garden Great hosts

Just had an absolutely wonderful and delicious meal at The Seven Stars! The service and food was 10/10, best meal we’ve had out in a long time. We don’t live locally but will be coming back!

Great food. Will definitely return.

A warm welcome, perfect hosts prepared four lovely and well presented meals. Perfection.

Excellent food and service good selection of beers and wine.

Had a wonderful meal with friends this evening. None of us had been before so were really pleased with the experience. The food and service were excellent and we were made to feel very welcome. Thank you

We came for lunch on a weekday and the place was quite empty so very peaceful. It was sunny, the garden was very confortable so seat in. We had Burgers and with the triple cooked Chips and the sweet potatoes fries everything was excellent. I highly recomlend this place.

We popped in for the beer festival - a welcome return after a few years - good beer choice and excellent staff.

Excellent meal and great service. For my husband and I the bonus was they serve ‘Real Ales’ which was a bonus. Food was great and cooked perfectly. Good friendly staff who were attentive and did a great job of making us feel important.👏

I love wandering into a country pub on Sunday for good food, and this place is just right. It's cosy, clean, and friendly. My partner loves a roast dinner, whereas I am happy with a burger. This is not always an option on a Sunday, so I'm always super pleased to have the choice. I think the burger here is one of the best burgers in Oxford. If you're looking for a nice pub with great food and atmosphere and a lovely garden too, then look no further! Thanks very much!

Seven Stars Indian thali was one of the best ever had definitely will be back for next one

Delicious food in an unexpected place, we are here with the camper at Durham Leys Farm. Very friendly staff with a good menu within walking distance. To be repeated.

Came back again after a fabulous Sunday meal, this time around for Curry Night. Indian myself the food was prepared authentically and served on a Thali which is a great idea. Service was also very prompt and great buzzing atmosphere when we went for dinner. Already waiting for our next visit. Well done Seven Stars Team

Had a lovely family meal, good food, drink and lovely atmosphere

Friendly staff! Very tasty, well portioned Sunday Lunch cooked to perfection with crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside roast potatoes. Delivered hot even though restaurant was full and we were a party of 22. A family member also needed a gluten free meal and he was well catered for with his Sunday Roast.

The Seven Stars pub in Marsh Baldon serves up cracking good food alongside top-notch service. Plus, they've got a real treat with their special Indian dishes. Our meal was spot on, and we'll definitely be back for more of their tasty offerings!

Our first visit and we will definitely return! The food was delicious and the service and atmosphere was great.

Great food came very recommended. Table service was not up to expectations.

Namit you are top man in the village ..... Lovely food charming staff

A great place for both food and pets! Tasty food, nice garden, and friendly service. Perfect for a day out.

We've eaten here as a big group (around 20) of adults and children twice in the last few months and both times it has been excellent. We have been looked after brilliantly - delicious food and a really warm welcome. We will be back!

We held our Christening reception at the Seven Stars and all we can say is thank you! Sunit who helped with the planning of the day was always happy to help us with any questions/ideas we had and nothing was an issue. They were very flexible with their menu choices and we are extremely grateful as the food was amazing. Namit who helped with the running of the event on the day was amazing. Always willing to help and ensured the day went to plan. We cannot thank you both enough. It was an honour to hold the event at such a beautiful, well looked after pub. We returned Sunday for a roast and there isn’t much more to say than wow. Thank you to all of the staff who also helped on the day, you’re a credit to the pub.

Pretty pub, was here for a christening reception, they provided some sandwiches and lovely home made samosas and chicken tikka! But other than this we didn't try the food. So cannot comment on service or atmosphere as we were with a christening party.

Excellent food, friendly and welcoming staff within pleasant surroundings.

Excellent customer service from all staff and management. Good was tasty and mains were good size. Lamb croquette starter was just 1, but flavoursome.

So lucky to have this pub on our doorstep. As well as doing the best Sunday lunch in the area, the special events are a real treat. Went to the Holi festival lunch yesterday - delicious Indian buffet, great music and such a fun atmosphere.

Lovely Sunday Lunch. Quite busy.

An absolute delight today to visit, we hadn't booked but were accommodated with a smile and a warm welcome. The Sunday lunch was beautifully cooked and presented, we opted for the sirloin of beef which just melted in the mouth, the veg was a colourful selection and the roast potatoes were crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. We opted for additional roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese( because we are greedy) which was gorgeous. Portion size was really good, 4 different veg, in addition to the potatoes, homemade Yorkshire and a great gravy. This was followed by apple & pear crumble and custard which was delicious and just the right size of portion. Most definitely will be back, the environment was perfect for the country location and the greeting of a wood fire on arrival set the scene perfectly. I would recommend booking, we got very lucky today and will ensure we book next time! Thank you to all the wonderful team for a fabulous lunch experience!

You can tell just how excellent the management is at the Seven Stars because of the energy and enthusiasm expressed by their staff. We held a private function here last weekend, and they bent over backwards the entire time to support it going off without a hitch. Food was impeccable, some of the tastiest home-style curry around. Marsh Baldon are lucky to have this place on their doorstep!

Best roast meal in a very long time. All meats and veg were cooked to perfection and had some lovely flavours. Well done to all the team there. Will be back soon. Sandra

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and very good and delicious food

Really really tasty Sunday roast, and a cute little pub! Very cosy with the fire lit.

me and my wife when for my birthday on the 17th feb, we were greeted and shown to the table, all i can say is fantastic service followed by fanatic food, really looking forward to our next visit.

Really lovely food, very relaxed atmosphere & very helpful staff. They even made sure we had a vegan burger available for my fussy child with food allergies. Thank you so much. Dog friendly, child friendly. We will be back!

Only popped in for a cup of tea, but pub was cosy and clean and service friendly and welcoming. Liked the fire too!

After visiting The Seven Stars for the first-time last month for a Sunday roast I can highly recommend! I enquired to book a Birthday Sunday roast for a large group at relatively short notice and Namit (the restaurant manager) instantly put my mind at ease. He was super prompt to respond to any questions and really made my husband’s Birthday dinner a success! As a party of 25 (adults and kids) our food was all brought out quickly and together. The food was absolutely delicious and many of us agreed it was one of the best roasts we had had in a long time! We had a fantastic experience thanks to a beautiful pub, delicious food and brilliant staff. Thank you SO much Namit, we can’t wait to come again!

Lovely village pub, great food, drink and service! We've eaten at The Seven Stars on numerous occasions and would highly recommend it. Namit and his team are great hosts, going out of their way to make sure that everyone has an enjoyable visit. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is warm and relaxing! The pub is wheelchair accessible and if you contact Namit and his team ahead of your visit, they'll do their best to ensure everything goes smoothly. It's worth noting that the pub is very popular, especially at weekends, so book early!

The Sunday roast is one of the best in the area and I’ve done my fair share of investigating! Deserts were good and staff are friendly and welcoming too.

Roast was delicious!! Would be hard to find a crispier potato!!

Regularly visit the Seven Stars for food and drinks. It's a lovely country pub with friendly staff. Namit provides the best service. The food is amazing - I recently had the best pie, and the roast dinners are amazing!

This pub restaurant is a relaxing and enjoyable experience. After your meal, you can walk around the large green/common in this beautiful village.
