The best restaurants in Fringford Cherwell South East

Another fabulous evening meal in the Lodge at the Muddy Duck. Lovely cheerful staff, prompt service and great food served hot as it should be. This is still the best pub for miles around and well worth a visit. The only negative is (still) the absence of a lovely welcoming fire. The room is begging for it.

Visited Stratton Audley Barn with my daughter to view the Xmas shop & have lunch. On the plus side the service was friendly and speedy & there was no problem getting a table. However, can £14 for a jacket potato be justified? It wasn’t piping hot inside, was dry (there didn’t appear to be any butter added) & so the cheese didn’t melt. We’d asked for a topping of tuna with the cheese, but this extra topping (plonked on the side & not on the spud) increased the price from £12 to £14. There was a small accompanying plain salad, but when we asked for dressing we were told there was only balsamic. Expected much better for £14.

I bought my daughter here for her birthday. It was absolutely amazing, the food was the best I have had in years! I cannot recommend it enough, we had a variety of mains and each one was cooked to perfection! And really good value for money! The chef has undeniable skills and I cannot thank Sapphire enough for her amazing service from start to finish! The pub is cozy, while we were there the quiz night was happing and it was completely booked out, they were setting up the food for the customers playing the quiz, something we are going to come back and take part in!
