The best restaurants in Ambrosden and Chesterton Cherwell South East

We just experienced our first taste of vegan Punjabi food, and it was wonderful. All the dishes were fresh and tasty but I’ll give special mention to the Railway Mutton (tofu?)... superb. Food is delivered cold but a microwave zap is all that’s needed and even the breads were light as a feather. There is great attention to detail with biodegradable containers and hardly any plastic and delivery out to Buckingham came at no extra cost. You even get notified when they’re setting out. Highly recommended!

Great place to go afterwork to relax. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly part from K, pints are nice and cold, just what you need on a summer evening.

Delicious food. Very nice prices. Highly recommend

Good location if you want to be by Bicester Village and not bad priced. No airccon in the bedroom is a major letdown. Staff are friendly but not sure how knowledgeable about the various menus they are.

Fabulous room and great breakfast.

Worst sauce I have ever tasted. I grow my own herbs I love mint and I love lamb but not this version. The “mint”sauce ruined beautifully cooked tender lamb. It smelled of soap and tasted like it too.this was a special anniversary meal with lovely Chateauneuf du Pape wine so this was sad especially as chef went to the trouble of nice touch of little sweet treats at the end of our meal.

Bicester Hotel Golf and Spa is an absolute gem! I recently spent a weekend here, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. From the moment you arrive, the staff make you feel welcome and well taken care of. The entire place has a luxurious yet relaxing vibe, making it perfect for a getaway to unwind and recharge. The facilities are top-notch. The spa is a true highlight—beautifully designed, with a range of treatments that leave you feeling completely refreshed. I tried the full-body massage, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. There’s also a lovely indoor pool, steam room, and sauna, which made for a perfect afternoon of relaxation. If you’re into golf, you’ll love their course! It’s well-maintained, with a great layout that’s both challenging and enjoyable. Even if you’re not a golfer, the scenic views of the course add to the tranquil atmosphere of the entire hotel. The restaurant also deserves a mention—the food was delicious, with a good variety of options for breakfast and dinner. Overall, Bicester Hotel Golf and Spa is the perfect spot for a weekend retreat or a special occasion. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Lovely surroundings, nice atmosphere and dog friendly. This was our second time we have dined here. Had to wait for a little while for a member of staff to notice use and take us to our table (we had booked in advance). Nice menu with plenty of options. Our party enjoyed their meals although my braised lamb shank was quite tough which was disappointing.

Went here on a Friday afternoon for lunch. The menu is varied with quite a few choices. It was quiet on the day we went. Food was good and service was ok.

My son's fully allergic to anything dairy, (not intolerant, actual allergic) so it's dangerous for him to eat anything dairy. So I advised about the allergy menu, they provided a large folder of their menu with all the allergens, great. However, I saw a page of sausage rolls on offer and none showed any 'dairy' (butter) which I thought was odd. So I asked and then they advised their allergen menu was wrong and the sausage rolls did have dairy in them. . . . . So I cannot trust your allergen menu? I then asked if the coronation chicken had any dairy in it as there was no point looking at your menu. They went away to ask and advised there was no dairy in it. 24hrs later, my son has been up much of the night with rashes and hives because of this I competent neglectful cafe that doesn't seem to care if someone gets ill because of their incorrect menus. Do not go if you value a family members health. Also, we asked for a plate so we could give our 2 year old some extra bits that were apparently 'safe', they then gave us a dirty plate and walked away.

Handy location for Oxford, staff friendly, however my room was dire, damp, mould, strong odour dirty bed linen and tepid hot water. The staff said they have just taken it over, but they should not have been letting the room they gave me, it was not fit for habitation. They couldn't offer me another room as they were fully booked, I hope the other guests had better rooms. I did strongly consider sleeping in my car instead, stuck it out though, got up very early and now recovering in Nero's with a strong coffee.

The tea was far too weak and an unpleasant taste but when we went to complain we were left standing there as the 2 staff were too busy clearing up to speak to us.

We were delighted to revisit this lovely village pub under new management! Friendly service, diverse menu and delicious food! Will be going again soon

Third time I have been here and every time been horrible, wait 10 mins for cold reheated chips with no taste. Fish is ok but not worth the wait
