The best restaurants in Kirtlington Cherwell South East

Food is tasty and the way they cooked and the ingredients used are exceptionally well.

The pub is temporarily shut, no idea when they will be open again. Shame as I was really looking forward to the burger or steak. Hopefully another time!👌🏼

The Dashwood Hotel and those who run it are a disaster - and it could be so good. Firstly, communication was a disaster when we had to contact them, well in advance of our stay, due to unforeseen circumstances. We were unable to go and knowing that they could have helped by re-opening the booking and finding replacement as the Blenheim Palace Game fair was on that weekend! We found someone to take our place last minute. Remote check in a nightmare and no ph no for contact! Room: no rail in wardrobe and only 2 tea bags and 2 milk pods for a 3 night stay! Lots of little niggley things when it could have been so nice. Unwelcoming

We were staying with friends who had booked a table here. Arrived early and was able to sit at our table, bonus. It was really busy so wasn't able to park easily. We had googled the menu before we went and looked really good, when we got there it was a different story, all it is is Baked Potatoes with fillings!!!! Lots of them to be precise. I went for the Roast Beef Roast Dinner Potato, hhhhmmmmm soft mushy potato, wafer thin Beef, three tiny slices of carrot, one piece of tiny Broccoli, something that resembled Stuffing, one Aunt Bessie Yorkshire Pudding, and gravy, not impressed really, can't say as I'd go back unfortunately. Shame

After reading the reviews for this pub we decided to book a table for Saturday night and we are glad we did. Very warm welcome and a nice atmosphere. As others have said plenty on the plate and of good quality and very good prices. Would we return that's for sure.

Went for Mother’s Day. Service slow, rude inexperienced staff. Teenagers swearing and lounging around the pub. Used to be a proper dining experience but not anymore. Average £10 for starters and £25 for mains is steep. Had to keep getting up to find staff to get a drink. White wine was warm and again £9 for 175ml is high and would have expected it to be served at the right temperature. Food was tasty but the atmosphere and staff made it way overpriced as an eating venue. So many better places to go now. Save your money and go somewhere else. It says a lot when they bring the bill and knock off drinks cost and charge no service fee without saying anything. Maybe the owner should be there to oversee their business failing and do something about it.

One of favourite places. The food is amazing , both the regular Menu and the specials. The club sandwich is the best ! But please allow dogs in , it’s the countryside :)

Went for Saturday breakfast. Loved everything about it. Great menu, great quality, brilliant service, lovely atmosphere. We’ll be back.

A really fantastic find while chugging up the canal.

Great pub in a pretty village with excellent food. Background music a bit loud for my taste but overall thoroughly recommend.

We stopped off by chance on our way home and were pleasantly surprised with the menu. The food was absolutely delicious. All the staff were very polite. We loved the idea having a mixed menu choice of western and Indian cuisine. We will definitely be returning.

Amazing service, amazing food and great location. Was lovely to chat to Harriette when it started to get a bir quieter. 100% recommend for a cream tea and cake! The jacket potatoes looked so good too but we were unable to fit one in Will definitely be booking to come for the chocoholic cream tea!! Thank you!!

AVOID!!! Went some years ago and it was fantastic but to say it’s gone downhill Is an understatement! We went this evening for valentines dinner and it was crap! It’s being run by kids who are more interested in chatting with mates than serving paying customers. A few of our issues: Food was bland and underwhelming. For starter I had “Gambas pil pil” a lovely dish that I am familiar with. Except instead of gorgeous succulent prawns cooked in olive oil with garlic and chilli - I was served prawns with chunks of chorizo in a tomato passata sauce. No mention of the chorizo on the menu btw so good job I’m not pescatarian! Hubs had the hummus which was tasteless, but luckily we were both starving so we continued. Mains were just as disappointing. Over cooked steak and strange garlic butter accompaniment. For dessert, as I’d ordered off the v-day menu I had a desert included which was a few tiny strawberries with chocolate drizzled across the top - described on the menu as chocolate dipped strawberries with jersey cream… no cream in sight. In addition, at 7.30 on a Friday evening they had ‘miraculously’ ran out of wine glasses so my Merlot was served in a champagne flute. Where all the wine glasses had miraculously gone is a total mystery considering the place was over half empty! We waited over 30 mins for our mains to be cleared and then had to ask to see the desert menu… there appeared to be 4 deserts to chose from but the bread and butter pudding was listed twice, and we were told they’d ran out… leaving very little choice. The main guy who greeted us and served us a little was always in a hurry to get away, and when we left the pub after paying a shocking £110, he was sprawled out on the floor on his phone and barely even looked up… no goodbye, thank you for coming. Oh and to top it all off, the ladies loos reek of stale fags. Safe to say we won’t be returning and if you’re reading this I advise you avoid the place too!

Over priced food bad service totally felt like we were a pain not even offered a desert just felt they wanted us gone Prawn & avocado salad was a disgrace, 5 prawns , 2 slithers of avocado & a ton of lettuce with a tiny amount of onion , for £17.95 it was a disgrace totally overpriced When complained was told " ok I'll let the chef know " not good customer service Staff were quite rude too Would not go back at all

Excellent, very welcoming. Excellent food and the beer is not bad either. Maybe a new owner but very well managed. Food was quickly on the table. Staff very friendly and competent.
