The best restaurants in Cherwell South East

I had lunch at Shan Shui a lot of times. I recommend their King Prawn Fried Rice and Chicken Bites. Nario and Hafiz were extremely helpful, welcoming and always offer good service.

Exceptional food. Beautiful country pub. Food service between courses was a little bit slow but overall we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and plan to come back again soon. Visited Saturday circa 4:30pm.

No estoy seguro de la calidad, de la comida y el restaurante comprobado cuando llegué a casa y signo de interrogación sobre la higiene de los alimentos. ¡Te sugiero que revises su clasificación alimentaria antes de irte!

The sandwich had a teaspoon of chicken in and tasted old had to scoop all the chicken out and leave cheese on it’s own

Been buying from this Chinese restaurant since it opened and for the first time I decided to try the prawn dumplings and what a disappointment upon opening the box. It was as tiny than half a boiled egg for £8 for 4 seen that £2 each I thought it was a joke , that aside I thought the taste will compensate it but no and definitely not eating that again. What a Shame, I tried similar dumplings in Oxford Street market which was great nothing like this.Other than that food okay.

They stopped doing food... they're inconsistent with their beers and ran out of Guinness Zero during a six nations afternoon...many better options in Bicester

Checkin - told breakfast up to 8:45am Booked through hotels.com - clearly states includes breakfast. Room. Small but not too bad. Evening meal. Waited a fair while for table (place wasn’t busy) Girl who checked me in asked me for £50 deposit for any damage I might cause as I checked the menu. Didn’t like that. Meal was good. Came down in morning for breakfast and the whole place locked up. No one around from a decorator. He seemed a bit bemused by the place tbh. So, no breakfast. Went back to room and did some work. Came back down 8:45 just in case the girl had said breakfast started at 8:45. It didn’t. No one around. I phoned the 2 mobile numbers on the wall for out of hours (2 of the 5 or so owner friends who clubbed together to buy the place). No answer either time. Left one message. No calls back. Went to my first meeting and came back as I’d stupidly left my phone in rooms a staff member was in courtyard and let me in. I said to her about no breakfast and she said ‘they don’t do breakfast any more’ If I’d know that I wouldn’t have booked. I would say the staff were rude. But they weren’t great either, or that bothered really. I’d definitely recommend avoiding this place. Not sure if it’s lazy or if success is too easy or what it is. But this place really annoyed me - I try to stay away from chain hotels at least some of the time as they’re often very expensive and just the same as each other. But then you stay somewhere like The Plough, and you wonder why you bother.

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.

Lovely lunch in a fab location by the canal. Tasty jacket potato with fresh ingredients and homemade coleslaw. Great service from the staff thanks Wayne and team.

Absolutely amazing place with a great vibe over the weekend ......the food literally speaks for itself .....you NEED TO TRY IT !!!!!

Lovely family, old english style hotel.

Very welcoming, put the Leeds game on for us!

Today I had the absolute pleasure of dining at The Bell Inn Pub for their Sunday Roast, while visiting friends in the neighborhood, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. The star of my meal was the roast chicken – tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The perfectly seasoned to my taste and crunchy (not overcooked) vegetables - carrots, green beans, cabbage and baked potatoes, paired harmoniously with the chicken, making each bite a comforting delight. The gravy was delicious, delicately balanced and smooth, complementing both the chicken and veggies. Another highlight was the Yorkshire pudding and not just for its size (huge!)) and original shape. Light, airy, and golden-brown with a crisp exterior, it was, without question, the best I have ever tasted (no kidding). To finish, the chocolate cake was a decadent dream – impossibly rich, and deeply chocolatey, topped with a scoop of velvety ice cream that melted into a perfect pairing. Each mouthful was pure bliss, a sweet end to an exceptional meal. My special thanks go to Izzy, who served us, a very polite, thoughtful and professional young girl with a great attitude and charming personality ) I'll definitely visit again this place and recommend it to my friends for great food, cozy atmosphere and a very nice crowd. Their Sunday Roast was a culinary experience that left us fully satisfied and eager to return. Five stars all the way! PS loved the fireplace next to our table, makes a perfect attribute for a winter lunch or dinner.

Lovely food, nice surroundings and very lovely staff. They brought a birthday cake out for my brother and paid special attention to my 87 year old mother and my allergy was noted. We will definately be back.

This is not my usual take away restaurant but I thought I’ll give it a try for the first time. Turned out the negative reviews were correct re food. I have ordered house special fried rice, mixed vegetables, chicken & mushroom soup, and sweet & sour king prawn balls. The delivery took just over an hour which I think was a long wait. My verdict for fried rice is totally inedible and I felt like taking them all back to the restaurant after having one tbs of each dishes. Say no more with the rest of the food as I was disappointed how bad they all tasted. As a previous chef myself, the moment I looked at the food I already had the feeling it won’t taste good. I think they should rid of the chef or get someone to train him properly to produce a good quality results. I don’t mind paying more if it was worth it but it was a dismay. :-( and I don’t think I’ll use ON HO Chinese take away again.
