The best restaurants in Shiplake South Oxfordshire South East

Really friendly, welcoming people run this coffee bar. The coffee is brewed to perfection. The tea is strong and flavoursome. The toasted sandwiches are filled to the brim and very tasty. The cakes are moist and delicious. The outlook is pleasant due to the flowers and plants. The atmosphere, cosy and inviting. They also serve ice cream, toasties, waffles, and smoothies. The ice creams in waffle cones are amazing. The ice cream goes right down to the bottom, so every bite is a delight. This is a place we visit time and again. It comes very highly recommended indeed.

The best place for Sunday lunch and has been for a while. The service is lovely. Welcoming and organised. The cocktails are the best for miles. Still love it and still one of our top choices.

A wonderful experience and food....sublime

Amazing british atmosphere, food was so delicious, and dessert was incredible. There is small playground, so kids wont get bored.

The worst roast I have ever had!! I took my mum out for Mother’s Day and first of all we were greeted with a message which said ‘We have given up our ‘Mother’s Day’ so you can enjoys yours. Please be with us as it is very busy….thank you’ . It was a set menu of 3 courses for £35 and the whole meal was tasteless. The prawn cocktail was vinegary, the roast beef was tasteless and tuff like old boots! Cauliflower cheese was mushy/very over cooked and the gravy with the rest of the roast vegetables had no flavour. For desert we all had crumble with ice cream and the crumble was inedible with burnt/black bits in it. The service and atmosphere were none existent and the whole experience was very disappointing. Overall I wouldn’t recommend the New Inn pub!

Fantastic spot hidden in the marina. We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning and the view was beautiful, food was excellent and the vibe was relaxed. If only there was a shortcut walk from Caversham to it!

A great experience. Taste to rock your boots. The langoustine and Pork belly are amazing. The scollops are best I have ever tasted ( And I love scollops). The lamb with haggis was great and the chocolate fondant was a burst of brilliant taste with Guinness ice cream. Cooking to a Michelin style standard with a warm friendly service. Brilliant well done to chefs and staff

It doesn't get any better than this. What a great place for that very special meal. I cannot fault it in any way. Wonderful views from the dining room, great service and the best food.

French Horn is no longer open. It closed last year and is up for sale

Six of us ordered different mains. All of us enjoyed our meals a lot. The service was excellent. We could hear each other speak. To summarise, not only was better all round than anywhere we have been in a 10 mile radius it was also much better value. Highly recommend.

Recientemente celebramos una celebración familiar, en el Hombro de Mutton, por los cumpleaños 16 y 18 de mis nietos. La comida (el almuerzo del domingo) era excelente, Nuestros vegetarianos estaban bien atendidos, y el personal era amable, alegre y acogedor e hizo todo lo posible para que el día fuera un éxito. Teníamos el conservatorio para nosotros, lo que era una ventaja. Sé que estuvo muy ocupado ese día, pero no puedo agradecer lo suficiente a todo el personal por su arduo trabajo. Tuvimos una celebración maravillosa.

¡Este hermoso pub familiar es una pequeña joya! Es acogedor y acogedor y celebramos la recepción fúnebre de mi padre -en-ley en el precioso conservatorio, que era perfecto para 30 personas. Alan y Wendy organizaron todo, lo que significaba que no teníamos que preocuparnos por nada. El buffet era delicioso, incluyendo quiche casero y bocadillos y el servicio era excelente. Gracias Amy y Anais por cuidarnos a todos. ¡Ayudaste a convertir un día triste en una familia alegre! Gracias Alan y Wendy.

Meal was exceptional as is the norm for the Crown! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to our next meal here! Big thank you Dani for looking after us x

Having been let down by a nearby pub (they didn't read or answer my email reservation, then told me when I phoned they were fully booked for a large party) The Crown kindly agreed to take us at short notice. My wife and I dined with 2 friends. My friend had the lamb roulade, his lady partner had the fish, and my wife and I had the Bobotee, a South African dish which we enjoy. All the food was superb and freshly cooked (it is not "Fast Food") and worth waiting for. The waiting staff, ably led by Dani D, were cheerful and attentive despite being rushed off their feet by so many customers. The Crown is one of the few local pub/restaurants open for lunch on Monday and Tuesday, so is very popular. My wife and I have been to The Crown several times and it continues to be run to a very high standard.

This was my first visit since the change of ownership and I was highly impressed. The food was excellent - I had fish pie with broccoli followed by apple and berry crumble with custard and my son had a mushroom and broad bean tagliatelle also followed by crumble. The portions were good sized, the food was very well cooked and presented and the service was friendly and efficient. Definite recommendation.
