The Station Garden Pizza and Grill in Vale of White Horse

Great atmosphere, Charlie and Tom were amazing, always happy to come in

Popped in for food and Neil and Lauren were great. Very engaging and friendly

First time here after moving to area, speedy frendly service from Neil. Food was great, beers even better. Would definately come again.

The food was super affordable and tasty. Our kids ate all of theirs and bayase it was Easter they ate for £1. Service was great and the staff were super friendly.

Altho order was a bit messed up the management went out ther way to fix it and make sure we has a good night despite them being very busy with little staff on a Friday night everyone was looked after so well will definitely go again

Good food friendly service great for kids

I was at the Station Garden on Tuesday just gone. Neil was just amazing! The pub was busy yet despite it being just Neil and a new guy on his very first shift (we were told). Neil was incredible! He maintained a smile, a positive attitude and was a consummate professional at all times. The new guy a young South African lad did really well. Even when a regular and her partner were at each other’s throats Neil was diplomatic and extinguished the situation before it kicked off. The pub was clean, safe and enjoyable for all. Neil is an absolute asset to the pub even accommodating a customer with what I’m guessing was a mental health concern assisting both her and the police flawlessly. Just wanted to say a big thank you to Neil your effort and fantastic customer service do not go unnoticed.

Greeted well, lovely food arrived quickly. I definitely recommend it!

Everything was amazing! The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a cowboy burger and the chicken platter and both were phenomenal! Thank you so much!

They were busy, it was a Friday and it’s been the first day with decent weather for a weekend in 2025. It’s a chav fest at the best of times in this pub, lovely estate, ruined by the usual people who haven’t worked to get there. The lasagne was great, the pizza was ok. 50% of the time they run out of pizza dough, and one of their signature menu items is…..you guessed it, pizza! I ordered the lasagne with salad and garlic bread with an additional bowl of chips. I got no garlic bread and the chips were in a small breakfast style bowl. There were literally 12 chips for £3. I didn’t bother complaining about the chips (it’s not the first time and I don’t want a reputation as a complainer). I asked for the garlic bread, they brought it out, one piece when it should be two. I gave up at this point and just ate my food. Unfortunately there is nothing else nearby.

Great service, Lauren was helpful and efficient with the service.

Service from Lauren was top notch. Efficient and friendly

Came for Dinner for last two nights with my family as I am a regular here. Just wanted to point out the table situation in the main bar area is ridiculous. Tables are squashed together and now becoming a health and safety risk at peak times. Also access to the bar. Been a number of people not happy. Would be very grateful this can be reviewed. Many Thanks.

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!

Scarlett was amazing fabulous service

Scarlett was amazing excellent service :) Great family friendly pub has definitely gotten better staff seem so much happier

Great service from Scarlett, tasty food👍

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Always a great trip to The Station Garden. Kids enjoyed pizza while I enjoyed a surf and turf. Steak was cooked perfectly and excellent customer service from Scarlett and Darci. We will sure be returning.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

The most outstanding service by my favourite girl charlie

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

Friendly fast service. Thank you Darci and Az

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.

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

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

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.

Excellent service and food. We will visit again

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.

The chicken burger was terrific

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

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

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

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!

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

Scarlett was amasing will definitely be returning great pub :)

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

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

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.

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 😀

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?

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

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!

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.

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

Great. Good puds. Good quiz. Thanks!

Great service, great food, excellent all round!

Delicious food, decent portions and lovely atmosphere

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 🤣

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!!!!

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.

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

Scarlett was so smiley, lovely atmosphere
