The best restaurants in Kirtlington Cherwell South East

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.

Beautiful building but recently has changed hands and quite bizarre furniture choices for historic building. We had dinner at the hotel in main dining room. Food was very expensive which is OK if of a very high standard but the food was cold and although it looked ok tasted bland and not enjoyable. We all had different choices and everybody reported the same. It was trying too hard to be a certain image. The price was around £70 each with one bottle of wine between us. There was £45 service charge added for 5 people.

Both were cooked to perfection and as we are 10/15 minutes away, I always have the oven warm for a few minutes when they arrive. The cod and chips have hardly any oil remaining and if there is it is always clear and crisp!

Ordered coffee with oat milk and got one with whole milk instead. How difficult is it to read the order correctly?

Unfriendly staff, slow with cooking food. No clean plates and tables dirty. Toilet had soap dispenser hanging off wall and not cleaned

Absolutely filthy, deeply stained fabric seats. Every table inside and outside was sticky and dirty. Litter everywhere. Dead rat outside of main entrance near to Cornish pasty concession. Two sandwiches and two drinks from Pret a Manger at £13, absolute rip off. Bloody disgrace.

Decided to nip into Starbucks whilst northbound on A34. Got food for all as well as drinks. Wanted to sit in. Order taken by one of the lads and we attempted to pay. It said we paid and then we waited for our stuff. A few mins later they advised us it hadn’t gone through and we’d need to pay again. We said it clearly went through as it said approved. They insisted it didnt and asked us to pay again. We asked for the decline receipt and he said there wasn’t one which we also disputed. As we couldn’t get our food and drink we did as asked and tried to pay again. This time it said it didn’t go through so we tried again. Again it looked as if it went through but they said it didnt. This time we stood our ground and said we wanted to see a decline receipt. They then gave us 2 receipts - one said decline, the other said an issue processing. The third receipt apparently hadn’t come out. We then paid again and apparently all successful. Having been perplexed and annoyed, a few days later we checked the bank statement to find they’d taken money from us multiple times. So each time we said we paid; we had. Now either it’s a scam they are running or their machine is on the blink. Needless to say, our bank are now going to be looking into it to get our money back as it’s very clear that they are the same transaction multiple times in a row but we shouldn’t have to do that. There were plenty of free tables and all looked comfy. None were clean. Clear but not clean. A guy however was seen to be sweeping the floor and wet floor sign were out. We had our stuff and then went to go to the toilet to find them closed. Baring in mind this is a Starbucks at a service area and we purchased from them to sit in, not having toilet facilities open is poor. The food we had however was really nice. Can’t complain about the actual products received at all. Although they did present them to us all over the place…food on one side of the counter with drinks the opposite end. None at the same time. And a lad that appeared to think he ran the show was being a bit of a not very nice person to other staff. Would we stop here again?! Absolutely not. It was the most expensive Starbucks I’ve ever visited after all those additional unnecessary transactions!!!
