The Talkhouse in South Oxfordshire

Visited here yesterday evening with my family to celebrate my birthday. I had such a lovely time, the pub interior is absolutely beautiful, perfect atmosphere, the food was amazing and the service was so lovely and friendly. Absolutely wonderful place, I could not recommend it enough!

Charming pub, excellent venison sausage and mash, friendly staff. Will return.

The Talkhouse is a very pretty looking pub and located in a very picturesque part of the world. The inside of this listed building is even more inviting, as are the staff who look after you from start to finish. I can't comment on the rooms because we did not stay there but I can definitely comment on the food and drink which was excellent. I was told that they locally source their ingredients and are proud to advertise the companies that they use. They were very busy when we arrived but the service did not feel rushed and the orders arrived in good time and was piping hot. I tried their Trio Roast, basically a 3 meat Sunday roast. None of the meats were overcooked, which I have come across in busy establishments and the vegetables were tasty. The other people in my group were equally impressed with their dishes. I highly recommend a visit if you are in this part of the world.

Always friendly helpful staff. Haven't stayed overnight, so I'm unable to comment on the rooms.

Can't say about the rooms as didn't stay there. Lovely old style pub. Friendly staff, ambience good, garden at back with seating area. Food is available. Plenty of free parking available opposite.

Came in for a roast having been before and it was diabolical. I had the chicken and my husband had beef - mine tasted as if it had been reheated countless times and husband’s looked as if it was carved with a biro! We had hoped this would be a little hidden gem for us but I do not plan to return anytime soon the food lacked any taste of care and it was such a shame as the girls on the floor were doing their absolute best to make up for the food

Good food but slow to be served

Currently in my room listening to the bar/kitchen staff singing at the top of their lungs at 10:30pm at night. Needed a good nights sleep as attending the Oxford Half Marathon tomorrow and needed some quiet. Definitely don’t visit if you want a good nights sleep!

Pretty nice place. Pub was great, rooms would need a full refurb if u ask me

Lovely country pub. Nice beer garden, although it could do with some weeding. Lovely indoor space with super friendly and helpful staff. Although we didn’t eat, the food we saw looked delicious, if we are passing again we will stop for a meal. Good spacious car park opposite.

Great place to stop over in the motorhome

Lovely cosy pub with friendly staff and excellent food.

Nice meal service could have been better

Very friendly staff. Warm welcome. Quirky small room but served the purpose for a 1 night stay close to Studley Wood Golf club where I was playing a competition. Excellent cooked breakfast and friendly staff keen to ensure everything was as I wanted it.

Nice place with nice food, the annoying thing was the staff! They were all the time behind the bar chatting and we have to go to the bar every time to order/ reminder food or drinks! Basically not doing any work… the table were very dirty! Really annoying

Prompt attention from diligent bar staff

Our room was spacious and neat. But the bathroom smelled like a septic tank which was not pleasant at all. Also received a very unfriendly welcome at check-out. I just bumped into her at the door because she was even leaving. She didn't even ask what it was like.

Lovely old pub good food excellent service

Can thoroughly recommend The Talkhouse

This country pub offers fantastic dining and a scenic view of the historic county of Oxfordshire.

Nice historic pub in a beautiful location. Patio garden with accommodation and sheltered seating.

We stayed at the Talkhouse for one night, really cosy and well equipped rooms, the food at the pub was decent too! Highly recommended!

Lovely traditional pub with a great roast!

Very pleasant pub. Good pub food pleasant staff. Garden seating. Fuller's beers .

Excellent stay clean warm room, hugest shower head ever, making for a very wonderful shower! Comfy bed, quiet road, fabulous staff.

Really great atmosphere and prime location

Seems to have gone downhill. Food was distinctly average but overpriced.

Lovely pub great food and beer.

Excellent service and lovely fish and chips.

Clean enough room, staff pleasant on arrival. Answered all questions, very friendly

Just popped in for a drink and found a lovely little country gem.

We visited for a friend's wake. We will return in happier circumstances soon. We found Cydney and Lara to be excellent t hosts. Very attentive, they were also friendly polite and a pleasure to speak to. We had a nice chat with cydney about the history of this quaint village pub. The lounge and bar are well stocked with period piece furniture. The pub itself is 1600's at the oldest parts with additions in 1990's at the newest. We will return.
