The best restaurants in Thame South South Oxfordshire South East

✨ This is how pub food should be! 🍽️🔥 
If you're after cosy vibes, exceptional dishes, and warm hospitality — The Black Horse in Thame (just outside Oxford) needs to be on your foodie radar! 📍🍷 We were seriously impressed by the elevated gastropub experience — beautifully presented food, flavours that hit just right, and service that made us feel right at home. Here’s what we enjoyed (and highly recommend):
🧀 Twice Baked Cheese Soufflé – light, airy, and full of rich cheesy goodness
🌱 Pea, Broad Bean & Feta Croquettes – crispy, fresh and packed with flavour
🦆 Duck Breast – served with citrus glaze, candied orange & creamy dauphinoise
🥩 8oz Rump Steak – paired with a dreamy Béarnaise sauce
🍨 Rhubarb Crumble – Wye Valley rhubarb + rhubarb & elderflower ice cream = perfection From the hearty mains to the refreshing seasonal dessert, this meal was a standout! 🙌

Excellent all day breakfast & jacket potatoes for family. Despite being a very busy lunchtime, Excellent and friendly service. Definitely a place to visit time and again.

Not bean here yet . Expect going 12th October as nearest sit down Restaurant to my mum in Kingston Blount. However read the menu & looks exciting. Mother will like - no washing up . But not sure if at 93 years old she try Chopsticks. She does & it could be a Long Night.

Great pub with fantastic outdoor area

We went to The Spread Eagle for afternoon tea and had a lovely time. The manager and staff gave us their full attention and made the experience very enjoyable. My 11 year old niece who had never had afternoon tea before, thoroughly enjoyed herself with the delicious scones and sweet treats

Sunday lunch was so so tasty, loads of vegetables, potatoes were crispy to perfection. Very good customer service too!!!

Never disappoints, fabulous roast dinners, friendly staff, it’s a really great pub!! There wasn’t any element of the roast dinner that I could’ve improved. The staff are so friendly, I wish I had a pub like this where I live!

Didn't warn us how long it would take to get a couple of bacon rolls to take away, lied about progress when chased, gave up and had to settle for a pastry after 25 minutes. Avoid

Unfortunately NOT serving lunch any more! NO PIES :( Only two real ales on, London Pride and Proper Job with crisps. Staff were friendly and attentive, shame, probably too many pubs in Thame?

You may know what you're going to get from a Costa, but they don't all give the same experience. This is a good one. Staff happy to assist, plus cafe was clean and tidy. Thank you team for the friendly welcome to our group today ✅✅✅

Children’s sleepover and the mass crowd of kids made their decision to order a domino’s, can’t say as I was best pleased with their decision seeing as Domino’s can never seemingly send the correct order in previous experiences AND THIS WAS NO DIFFERENT! Was refreshing to see that they (Domino’s) had added some items to their menu, to the children’s delight, however this just seemingly gives them more to forget and more things to under cook! Having placed an £80+ order to feed the herds - was disappointing to not receive some of the items and the ones we did receive (chips and wedges mainly) just cannot be cooked properly, not for the first time either - ITS EVERY TIME! It says a lot when not even the children would eat them! Naturally, phoned and spoke to the shop and they were sending a driver to deliver the items not received and was told it would be 10minutes. After an hour and a half - NOTHING! Phoned again and just requested a refund instead (which was checked and verified with management) but still no refund received or apology for the poor experience. Such a shame it’s massively gone down hill - couldn’t beat a domino’s years ago….now they just send slop at a very expensive price! SUMMED UP - don’t use Domino’s….you’ll just waste your money and experience poor quality! Do what I do (when it’s not a mass sleepover full of children) and support the smaller brands - much better quality, at a much better price!
