The Station Garden Pizza and Grill in Vale of White Horse

Venue gone down hill a lot lately, no stock, food quality, ages to get served, but one member of staff always seems to be able to resolve it for me, blonde young lady behind the bar really brings customer service to another level. Think her name is Scarlett if I heard correctly. If was not for her, my business would be elsewhere

Ordered 2 x fish , chips and peas then a while later Darcey informed there was only enough for one so I changed one for cheese, leek and potato pie, chips, gravy and peas and a pineapple juice. Darcey was the one shining light of the evening. It was 10 years ago and it will be another decade before we return

Couple of pints and food after work. Served by Lauren who was friendly, professional and poured a lovely pint of Guinness. Thanks!

Great service from Scarlett, tasty food👍

Lauren was amazing behind the bar as usual, always happy to see her here

Scarlett was amazing fabulous service

Great pub! special thank you to the quizzer - Scarlett for a wonderful quiz

Just got served by Scarlet, although she is training she did brilliantly, just attentive enough, supported when I had issues ordering online, good quick service. Great that my daughter can plan and I can chill and watch her. Thanks The Station Gardens!

Lauren served us and although she was very busy she did a great job

It was a busy Friday. Despite the high volume of customers, the team worked very hard to accommodate as much as they could. Thanks especially to Lauren and Darci who looked after our drinks and food.

We came in for a quick drink and a bite to eat. A young lady called Charlie served us and she was very approachable and catered to all our needs. I would definitely be coming back

Kitchen staff good . Staff good especially Charlie . All in all a good experience

Food and service were great!! Staff were friendly and hard working (especially Charlie) Very child friendly. Have a whole menu for intolerances and allergens.

Been here before. Food is good and service is brilliant. Lauren was really friendly and put a smile on our faces

Pub food so You know what to expect. Tasty, well priced with good service. Recommended for families.

Lovey service and atmosphere. Neil was amazing and helpful all evening. Would definitely recommend coming here!

Very helpful and quick service from Neil who was very helpful and friendly. Lots of parking available. And the food was Lovely.

Very friendly and pleasant staff. Quick and easy to order. Food very tasty and served hot. Good selection of meals and drinks to choose. Dogs welcome in the bar area and a large selection of seating areas. Good for families as a ni e playarea out in the garden. Didn't have children with us but quite a few out there. Visit at least once a month as attend the brush party paint nights, so usually arrive early to eat beforehand.

We visited the Friday before Christmas as a group of 10 teens and 4 adults. It was very busy but we were accommodated brilliantly by the team who kept smiling on a really busy night! Thanks to Scarlett and Charlie for great service. Food was delicious, hot and any mistakes rectified quickly.

Came here 3 times whilst on a visit to Didcot. Staff were really friendly and accommodating as we had a dog with us. Food was hot and tasted lovely. Xxx

After about 45 mins of waiting for our food order on a day that didn't look very busy, I asked the only person that seemed to be working if our food was coming and was told he thought our food was being plated up, another 10-15 mins later, he came over to our table to apologise for the delay and that it wouldn't be long. In this time more customers were coming in and we heard the staff member tell them there was a 45-60 min wait on food, we had already waited this amount of time and hadn't been told this when we came in or when we placed our order, if we had we would've gone elsewhere. After waiting a total of an hour and a half we left extremely hungry and glad we had left our tab open - so thanks for the complimentary drinks we deserved! Will not be visiting a Marston's again or recommending to anyone.

Lovely friendly service as always! Looked after by the smiling Scarlett & Neil

Great service from Scarlett & Neil! Nice atmosphere and a warm welcome, would recommend

Scarlet and neal, were really friendly, pub was very clean, and made me feel very welcome. I enjoyed my visit and will be back in the near future!

Served by Neil who was incredibly friendly and polite. Kids had great fun playing in easy sight of the adults and everyone cleared their plates so happy days.

Came for a birthday celebration and the food has been amazing. The staff Darai, Charlie and Az was fantastic. They were friendly, always helpful and Az did amazing and gave the personal touch by going to Asda just to get some English mustard! Will 100% recommend to every family and friend and will definitely be coming again.

Absolutely fantastic service and great value for money. Can highly recommend this for family meals.

The most outstanding service by my favourite girl charlie

Friendly fast service. Thank you Darci and Az

Had a lovely meal out with the family. Our waitress darci was extremely helpful and friendly.

I popped in over the weekend and have to say I was really impressed with the service and overall experience. The food was excellent and came out at a very reasonable time considering how busy it was. My friend and I were served by Ricky, and he was telling us about upcoming events and how much he loves it there. So refreshing to see and hear such positivity from someone who genuinely cares about their place of work! We will definitely be returning soon.

Excellent service and food. We will visit again

Scarlett and charlie always remember my drink and have a smile on there face, darcy is the food was brought out by darcy she was amazing and made sure we had everything.

Friendly staff good food and some things to keep the children entertained

I wasn't happy with the food it was dry and over cooked as well it took just over an hour for are food to come out and we was still missing food the garlic bread was over cooked as well drinks took a while to come over also the manger was behind the bar on his phone he made the wrong drink for my table. The only good thing that happend at station garden was Charlie with the best service all night. Understaffed to many kitchen team that couldn't get the food out quicker I'm sorry but this place used to be better a lot better.

Great place to go out as a couple and bring kids truely was an enjoyable night from the moment we walked in from the staff were friend and even josh the pizza chef was very friendly and great letting my 3 year old watch him make the pizzas and food was lovely

The chicken burger was terrific

Good food, good service from Neil and lovely play area for the children 👍

Great experience and amazing staff service from neil. Lovley bloke. Highly Recommend

Sunday roast 15 quid, truly terrible, cold, rock hard stuffling, watery gravy, staff were lovely but do not know how the roast could have been worse!

Had a great curry deal, which is on a Wednesday, really good curry. And great value for money , definitely will be back

Scarlett was great fab great customer service skills will definitely be returning:)

Scarlett was amasing will definitely be returning great pub :)

Neil Always makes us feel welcome, couldn't do more for us. What a great service food was excellent.

I was greeted by Scarlett and Charlie. They were very friendly and attentive. We had a lovely meal and enjoy our time. It is a lovely place for a family meal or even just for a quick pint 😀

Visit often and staff are always lovely and chatty. Scarlett served me and some friends last time we went and was very friendly and always had a smile on her face.

It was apalling. The poor girl behind the bar was massively understaffed.... she was doing her best, running the bar and serving food. Due to no staff, tables and floor was filthy. I'd be surprised if it had been cleaned from the night before. Understaffed kitchen made for a massive wait on food and even that wasn't good.

Scarlett was fantastic she had a fabulous smile and had great customer service will definitely be returning :)

Scarlett had great customer service skills , the chef connor did fabulous food for me and my family :)

Lovely food and staff with a nice atmosphere for food and drinks, even a dart board to use.

Visiting from Australia great atmosphere Neil was very Frienly and attentive

Totally disappointed. No Hobgoblin beer and no Wainwright beer! Asked for a gammon steak but no eggs! Asked for a burger and no brioche buns so went for a bunless burger. Starter of nachos arrived after 20 minutes but was cold. Ate it as I was hungry. Main course after 55 mins from ordering. Tried 5 bottles of mayonnaise and all were empty so i put them on the bar. Chips and burger were barely warm so I returned the meal. There was one waitress and only 1 chef. Where was the Manager? Got a food refund. I see there are a lot if reviews with the standard "cut snd paste" response but nothing seems to get better. Marstons have been running the pub but why is it still so poor?

Went here at the weekend and has a great experience! I spoke to a chef behind the pizza counter I think his name was Josh and he was so friendly! The staff were so accommodating and I will be back again!

Neil is fabulous, and Scarlett has fabulous customer skills :)

Atmosphere and staff really make this place. Shout out to Scarlett behind the bar who always goes above and beyond! 131

Scarlett was very welcoming and approachable

I recently visited The Station Garden and was left very disappointed with the food and service. I ordered a medium-rare steak, but when it arrived, it was practically raw. I sent it back, hoping for it to be cooked properly, but the second attempt was just as underdone. In the end, the pub offered me a refund, but there was barely an apology or any gesture of goodwill to make up for the poor experience. Considering the quality of the food and the lack of customer care, I wouldn’t recommend dining here.

Station garden has always had great food but when I went today, the quality of my fish and chips was very poor. The batter doesn't seem to have been cooked properly and all soaky. The fish itself was dried and tasteless. Chips was ok though. It's a shame as the service and atmosphere are great. Hope the food can be improved.

Brilliant service by Neil, adjusted my meal to my liking. Raffle number 110

Mum always enjoys her meals here And Neil is always helpful and polite

Ordered 3 different things that weren't in stock. No steak no fish and no milk.

Ordered a Lasagne & chips for me, and pizza for my son on our regular Friday night treat. Food was good, a minor problem was rectified straight away by the staff! Dara, Charlie and Scarlett were very friendly and professional. Considering it was a Friday night just after the rush, the food came out in decent time and the place was fairly clean. Plenty of tables were available including our favourite area near the bar. I had booked a table as it is usually very busy on a Friday night!

Served by Ricky and Charlie. Great service, lovely food!

Came in on Saturday meal was ok but had other problems that the staff were aware off and did nothing to sort it out it took me and my family to deal with it instead

Brilliant first visit will return.

Great. Good puds. Good quiz. Thanks!

we were served by darci who was ever so helpful only problem i have is the food it always seems to be overcooked or undercooked no matter what i have but would come again impeccable service

Delicious food, decent portions and lovely atmosphere

Great service, great food, excellent all round!

Food took 1.5 hours and was of poor quality. Would not return.

Came to eat on a Friday night and the wait was unacceptable also when ordering there items from the menu that they didn't have which I think is very poor for weekend.

We had a lovely meal with good service.

Scarlet was amazing, great service as usual. Makes the place worth visiting.

Scarlett was amazing ,she was happy and very quick to serve us every time

A massive thank you to Charlie, Georgina and Darci for making our visit so accommodating taking time to show us to our table and getting a bowl of water for our dog. The food was absolutely lovely and cannot recommend enough !

Great atmosphere lovely food and fantastic customer service

Overall our experience was a positive one. The staff were friendly, polite and professional. The meal was generally really nice, the only negative.. the main course could have been slightly hotter as it was only luke warm. Other guests said the soup wasn't very warm either.

The skinny fries were tasteless and were like bricks to stab into with the fork , half of them bounced of the plate they were that hard , ordered gammon steak ? There’s none.. ordered sausages and mash ? There isn’t mash !! I think the skinny fries need more potatoes in them , or just stop serving them and continue with fat fries

Scarlett the bar lady was so kind and took care of me and my dietary needs , we will definitely come back !!

Really poor. Not impressed with the service and the food. Arrived for lunch with my family, my son and his wife were working so we called in for a quick lunch and drinks. We only ordered two sandwiches and it took over an hour to receive our food which by then was too late for my son and wife. So they left without any food! The pub wasn’t even busy and when the food eventually arrived the baguettes had been over warmed in a microwave and the chips were under cooked. Really poor service, no apology or explanation. Amazing to see the replies from the pub about the poor food and service: we regret to hear that you had this experience with us. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we can improve. We hope you will consider us again in the future. Take care. NO CHANCE 🤣

Awful Christmas dinner. Went in on a Tuesday at 3pm, service was really slow, although polite enough. Gap between starter and main course was at least an hour. When it arrived, it was cold or luke warm at best. Parsnips were soggy, roast potatoes were a cheap Aunt Bessie, and one of them so hard impossible to eat. Turkey was just ok, gravy had a thick skin over it, sprouts were cold, stuffing the size of a £2 coin! It wasn't even busy, so no idea why it took so long and was so cold. Flagged as never return for food.

Absolutely appalling. We booked for 7pm and had pre ordered meals. On arrival we found our table had been given away (because a table of 15 had walked in?!) So we were now on a table that was too small and in the bar. Despite us saying we were ready for our food, the starters didn't arrive till 8.30pm, several had to be sent back (cold soup). We were repeatedly told that our food was "nearly ready" whenever we spoke with staff. Our mains were then another hour later. We actually started a timer on a phone because it was getting beyond a joke. The "manager" didn't seem to know what was going on. When I finally had enough and asked to speak to him, bar staff told me he had left! Despite knowing the restaurant was completely failing to deliver, without even coming to speak to us. We were not offered any apologies or explanations unless we went up to the bar to complain. Half our party had to leave (we all have children so had babysitters etc and were not planning a meal that was going to be 4hrs long!). The remainder of our party got our desserts at 10.45pm! For a 7pm booking!! This was not a fault of the bar and waiting staff who seemed mortified and embarrassed having to deal with it. When you pre order food, you expect that means the kitchen is prepared for your meal. The kitchen should have closed to other orders if it could not manage them. I will never be returning and will be making sure that I share this review far and wide!!!!

Scarlett was absolutely incredible. Polite, helpful and always smiling. Highly recommend 👌

Scarlett was so smiley, lovely atmosphere

The lady that works here is ridiculously rude. The food was substandard and very very basic. Fries overcooked, burger buns flaky from being frozen and defrosted and the beans look like they've been sat under heat for hours. Can wait ages to be served, but you get ignored.

Very Very dissapointed !!!!! had to wait much to long as they were'nt even busy !!! Food was awfull, and very cold !!! Pigs in blankets and parsnips not roasted. The turkey was ok But the roast potatoes were tasteless,

Good food nice place, but portions are way too small for the price.

1. Ordered 3 kids meals, amongst others. One meal came 25 minutes before the other two. 2. Ordered 2 kids desserts - ice cream and donuts. After 25 minutes they had not arrived so I chased. After another 20 minutes I chased again. They came 5 minutes later 3. In chasing these I looked thru the window to the kitchen to find someone and I saw about 10 meals sitting under lamps waiting to be served. So service was appalling - or the place is anti -kids. So much so that I will need to hear good things before going back

The food was excellent the service was excellent and the. Staff are kind thank you Tom for your service and thank you scarlet and thank you Jamie for the good food

Came in for the pub quiz, and was served by Scarlett on multiple occasions. She was very friendly and bubbly. Great customer service skills, I'll give her that. Credit to the pub.

Very friendly staff, especially Scarlett who went over and above to help. Nice atmosphere with good food.

Great place staff are fantastic especially Neil who was very professional and friendly. Great food also and good service.

Shocking service, only one person behind the bar on a Saturday lunchtime. Where are all the staff?

I'm so disappointed with this pub doing away with San Miguel. All about the money, not the customer.

We had a table of 10 booked, there were issues with the food being cold and not up to the standard that I have come to expect- how ever - the staff were brilliant about it and refreshed and apologetic so what was not a great experience was rectified by the team who worked really hard to make the night as special as possible for my friends leaving do. Thank you to the team who worked so hard.

Disappointing visit, walked up to front door to find someone smoking in the entrance between two sets of double doors, entered to pub, not a member of staff in site at 8pm, eventually a member staff came back from the local shop with her coat on and her shopping, 7 different lagers on tap but only actually three available, dirty walls in pub and toilets, real shame could be so much more

I am a regular customer at the station garden over 5 years. So here is another review. Still alot of changes but hopefully will settle down soon. However I feel that some long members of staff have Always been polite and good with my family Especially Scarlett always has smile and very helpful as always. Thanks Dan

Scarlet is one of the best service professionals I have ever had the pleasure to attend to my needs. She is extremely diligent, attentive and professional. It is always a pleasure to be served by her!!!

Really nice evening was had, however it was a shame that you had no gammon steaks
