The best restaurants in Benson South Oxfordshire South East

Great spot for a little family lunch. Sandwiches & cakes are delicious, nice surroundings & friendly staff. There’s also a box of books for kids to amuse themselves with. Not inexpensive but lovely for a treat.

We have been to The play barn twice now. The staff are so friendly and my son Isaac loves playing in the barn with his best friend. The cakes and coffee are amazing! So lucky to have this on our doorstep!

Great location, great food, lovely friendly staff. Definitely recommend. 5 ⭐️

Really charming and quintessentially English shop

Consistently good. Freshly cooked light meals, decent coffee and friendly service. Bike parking in the garden too. A great alternative to Riverside nearby

Couldn't get to the place to even try as it's on the RAF Benson site, no access allowed

Such a lovely place to have some food and drinks. My parents came to stay with us and we went for a roast dinner here. It was so lovely and the Brownie was amazing! Highly recommend coming here if you’re in the area!

The pub ( the Nelson now) is fabulous! We went with friends for Saturday brunch it was excellent. A great welcome, staff were excellent very organised and friendly. The food was plentiful, well served and washed down with endless process I, coffee and tea. Muesli, berries, yoghurt and honey. Pastries with four choices, a menu to choose from a full English, breakfast baps, avocado on toast and much more, Toast. Delicious. There is a stunning garden, lovely seating perfect for the summer. They also run events from wine tasting, Christmas events etc. I so recommend this pub it’s a perfect English pub in a lovely village. We will be back.

Not interested in apps, just simply wanted to make a phone order. on answer of phone, was told to use the app, ended up taking order via phone call, staff was polite but pushed for app, mark food 4/10, orders, chips burgers and chicken, chicken tasted terrible and more like fish, really disappointed!

We decided on the spur of the moment to pop in for a meal as we were shopping in Wallingford. We were warmly welcomed and a table was found for us even though it was busy. Our meals were brought through quickly and were perfectly cooked,even my partners steak which he likes VERY rare. We were amazed how large the portions were too. A really nice meal at a good value price.We will be back.

Just had the Roast Lamb sharer and it was fabulous, so much food and cooked to perfection. Make sure you give this a go. Thank you Colin, Gary and of course The Chef.

Disgusting. Large cod was large greasy batter, with very little fish. What fish there was was dry and massively over cooked. Chips tasted as though they were cooked ages ago. Will never go back.

Having visited half a dozen pubs looking for a Saturday night meal without noise, rowdy football fans etc we tried the courtyard at The George. Lovely setting. Quiet and comfortable. A superb spaghetti carbonara and veggie lasagne were perfect and amazing value. All delivered up by a delightful lady from the north east. A perfect evening.

Had a pretty poor experience couple of years ago, so gave it a swerve for a while, tried it again last week, and was super impressed, great food, generous amount of meat and chicken in the dishes, will definitely reinstate it as my local 'go to' indian takeaway.

The quality of the food is way lower than in other McD. Lumpy cold fries and double cheeseburger looking like someone stepped on it, Happy meals with random toys from Halloween in February. I was expecting Sonic as advertised.
