The best restaurants in Shiplake South Oxfordshire South East

Really nice place to stop mid ride if a bit pricey

We can not fault the food, the food was delicious. The only thing that let our visit down was the service. We had our starters cleared and wasn’t offered another drink even though we had empty glasses. Mains came (still empty glasses) and even though we addressed that partner didn’t like onions we were assured that we would be fine with the steak only to find out it had onions in the sauce, partner asked if peppercorn sauce was available, chef said it would be 5 which we said no problem, partner waited to eat steak, got to 15 minutes later so we chased up the sauce only to find out the waitress thought we said don’t worry about it. In that time we had to hunt for vinegar as wasn’t asked if we needed any sauces and then went to the bar to get more drinks and ask for ketchup as also wasn’t offered. There was only 3 tables but plenty of staff on floor so no need for poor service. Must point out the manager did come and apologise.

Just a brilliant quirky pub with really friendly staff. Fantastic music venue with an intimate acoustic set tent attached to the pub

Really friendly country pub, nice selection of drink. Lovely location with a big beer garden. Great for the warmer weather!

Highly recommend the sunday lunch. Beef was a good portion, cooked beautifully. Chicken likewise. Plenty of veggies. The gravy was obviously home made and tasted amazing. Too full for dessert, but will be back. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Beautiful building in need of some loving care. Two water wheels and very small outside area. Very restricted menu for lunch and beers/lagers only in bottles. Service only average. Quiet little atmosphere. Disappointed.
