The best restaurants in Chiltern Woods South Oxfordshire South East

Fantastic pub. Full of friendship and human warmth. A hut lost in Oxfordshire with good embers in the stove and in hearts.

Most excellent venue. Sam and Rich and their Team have done a great job since they took over this pub. I've tried Friday night solo, Tuesday in party of 3 plus Friday lunchtime solo. Excellent food, good service and an easy relaxed atmosphere. Cannot fault anything. I hope you try it and are as happy as I am.

Perfect little friendly shop , I actually thought oh I’m really hungry I wonder if thier is breakfast is any good , well what a nice surprise that was , bang on with that 9 out of ten for that one , clean, cooked perfect , presentation spot on , if I had one very slight niggle and it is slight , sausages aret all that , I normally go to buddies cafe by the station in henley and thier bangers are the best I’ve ever had , and I know the get theirs from A&b butchers in Maidenhead , they are catering butchers wholesalers , or it would be 10 out of 10 , just a tip for you , and thank you for the great service and fair price for a top notch breakfast

Excellent except not wheelchair friendly there is no parking areas for wheelchair and no ramps through doorways if they could improve this it would be top star

Poor service and poor food. Has gone downhill to what we’ve had before. Menu choice was very poor and had to choose the only dish I liked. The fried Brie wedges to start had no Brie in them as they had been over fried. Main course was cold and £15 for a cheese board, which only had 3 pieces of small cheese on and a few Jacob’s crackers was over priced. The service was poor and we were the only ones eating there. This used to be a great pub for food but feel it is now just overpriced and has an easy boring menu choice.

Mother's Day was made extra special by having lunch here. The food was exceptional. Delicious and full of flavour. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely touch was a glass of champagne for "the Mum"! I cannot recommend The Golden Ball highly enough .. there are not enough superlatives to do it justice. Bring your family and friends for the very best dining experience.

Fantastic walk! Beautiful blue bluebells in all woods. Great woodland with soft paths under foot. Lovely building of Greys court! Easy parking at Greys court Interesting history. Great little green gates installed on this walk which was very useful. Useful arrows on every corner and post which was needed. Gorgous property with fresh smooth greenery everywhere. Delicious orange juice at Rising Sun pub. Lovely sunshine!, Not to close to M40 which is fine as we couldn't hear any cars. Lovely quiet lanes while walking. Good pub. Nice outdoor area. Friendly staff! Nice dogs. Thank you to David Tesale for installing all those gates! 10/10

Best meal we've had in ages. Been coming for many a long year but today's lunch was outstanding. Their fish cookery is now really excellent. And so very fresh, but it doesn't matter how fresh the fish is if you massacre the fish it doesn't really matter. They don't. They treat it with care. I had Skate wing, octopus and mussels on crushed Jersey Royals with tender stem broccoli and my friend had sea bass, cooked perfectly. Followed by Eton Mess and accompanied by a good bottle of Pouilly Fume. Thursday definitely got better. Thank you so much, the chefs and the staff

Posted as open on website on arrival closed despite welcome board outside. So very dissapointing

Last night of our visit to the UK and our friends suggested we go here ( their own favourite ) before we see them again in December. We can easily understand why it's their favourite. From the moment we entered, the place, the atmosphere, the menu, the service, the wine, and, finally, the food were all absolutely superb. It's not often that we miss British pubs and their food offerings, but we'll miss everything about The Highwayman until we're able to to go again. Huge Thanks from us to everyone involved with The Highwayman for a wonderful evening.
