The best restaurants in Thame South South Oxfordshire South East

The Bird In Hand is the name given to the bar inside the large marquee at Chinnor Rugby Club, which also serves the benches alongside one side of the pitch. Club members get a 15% discount on prices, but these are pretty good for non-members as well. On our first visit we sat outside but it was a windy day ! But it was good to see the Rugby club open and hopefully they will soon be able to start playing regularly again.

Been a few times since it changed hands and unfortunately the food quality has dropped. The fish is consistently rubbery and overcooked. It’s never skinless when we ask for it. Last week we ordered two large cod and the size difference between the two was ridiculous, and the chips were virtually a bag of leftover crispy bits - some people might like that, but we like some actual potato in our chips. Real disappointing.

We went here for breakfast on Sat 12 Oct 24. There's not a lot of seating but we did get seat quickly, the breakfast was delicious lovely in every detail no complaints at all. We were on our way to Brighton and this was an overnight journey breaking stay hence to say next time we go to Brighton we will be calling here again no question.

We visited for a childfree birthday breakfast treat, quant little bakery downstairs, warm and welcoming cafe upstairs. Staff extremely friendly with great service. Food was good value and arrived quickly, tasting great. Highly recommended

Been to Monkey Puzzle a couple of times now and their coffee is excellent. It’s going to be my go to for coffee now. Great outdoor space for when it’s nice weather and perfect for the dog. The staff are so friendly and every time we visit we feel welcomed. They sell some nice gifts too. 5 dots!

Cosy atmosphere in the bar / restaurant and good food

Very welcoming. Friendly place with friendly people.

A lovely new team have taken over The Birdcage Inn. A quaint little pub ideal for casual day or evening drinks with plenty of entertainment in the evenings

Delicious food and lovely staff Dog friendly too

Lovely pub, fantastic food and fairly priced for the quality. Have eaten here 4 times, 3 in the private room at the front. Most recently we dined as a group of 9. Service was slow for a Tuesday night. Felt a little forgotten about. They didn't have the wine we wanted to order by the bottle, clearly popular. The reccomended alternative was excellent though. Food as ever was spot on though. Never had a bad meal here. Would absolutely recommend 👌

The only pizza place in Thame apart from Prezzo that makes lovely hot pizzas, I go here a lot when I've got nothing in my fridge need something to help my hunger. The staff are great the pizzas take around 15 minutes so you don't wait that long. And once you get your pizza it's hot and stays hot, prices vary on what you get, but personally I'd say all the food is great value.

Always a lovely welcome. Great beer selection.

My absolute favourite restaurant for excellent food, service and atmosphere

A good menu, well cooked (and one the best steak and ale pies I have tasted for a long time). Pleasant venue with atmosphere. Imaginative wine list and well-kept beers. However, the high spot was the service. The service was faultless; friendly, welcoming but also efficient. We will be back, and maybe stay over next time.

The Rising Sun is our go to for Thai food, never had a bad meal and we return at least once a month. Do try it, you won't be disappointed, but do book early for a Fri or Sat evening. The amount of clientele is a testament to how popular it is.
