The best restaurants in Watlington South Oxfordshire South East

Fantastic food fantastic people wonderful everyone we visit. Highly recommend to all. One of my top 3 restaurants. Really worth a visit. They won’t disappoint !! Zahra

Ate lunch which a few hours later possibly made me v ill at both ends. Fritta was cold but tasty. Asian slaw bitter, uninteresting and minus asian flavours just overpowered by mustard. Friend had an ok pastry.

Excellent Sunday lunch, beautiful area, great service, truly fantastic food. After just one mouthful I suggested we may have to return, every Sunday in my dreams. I greedily had the roast beef and pork combo, my partner the vegetarian main, both very good indeed and definitely not portions to leave you hungry. Desserts looked so good we could not resist, and they did not disappoint. One of the very best Sunday lunches, we will definitely be back. Be sure to book in advance.

Exceptionally good food, way above even normal gastropub food. Definitely worth a detour. Charming service too.

The best eggs Benedict I can remember having for a very long time. Plus delicious flat white coffee. This is my local cafe and I’ve been supporting it since it was also the deli (now next door and still the most fantastic deli). So I am a fan and yet, yesterday’s eggs Benedict were ‘on another level’ and moved me to write this. Better than any I’ve had in fancy hotels or London bistros. PS there were two of them… I scoffed one before thinking to take a photo!

A bit rough round the edges but clean and friendly, with the added bonus of a bath as well as a shower, very welcome after a long day's hike. We had breakfast included at the pub. Which was well presented and delicious. All in all great value for money.

Absolutely phenomenal service from everyone at the Leathern Bottle today when I had to pull into their car park when I had a problem on my vehicle. Highly recommended as a stop from the M40, which I will be doing again very soon when I'm not working. Thanks all

Went for Sunday Lunch and food was terrible really disappointed. We were asked as curtesy seconds after plates landed on the table if ok, that was even before we had a taste. We tried food was look warm, Pork overpowered by fennel spice not mentioned on menu or expected on Sunday roast. Shame😟

Lovely village! Great little cottages spread out. Interesting looking chuch. Large tower at the top. Tiny coffins in the couryard. Not too busy friendly people Loved seeing Pishill village in all its glory! 10/10

Been here several times and on every occasion we say ‘never again’ but we do go back in the hope that it has changed. Chap at the counter is incredibly rude ( I’m sure he doesn’t but I always feel that he would be happy to spit in the chips). Food is expensive for what it is and god forbid that you are a few pennies short (and I mean pennies) of the cost because he will make you go to the cash point in Co-op. Of course they don’t take cards as 1: that would cost him money and 2: he would have to declare it? Half of the items don’t go through the till, he just gives you a figure. The food tastes like it is cooked in really old oil and really isn’t nice. So we will now stand by our decision and NEVER go back.

Gorgeous place, fantastic beer (Brakespears), nice waitress, somewhat odd landlord. Food OK to good apart from the fish’n’chips which I think is the worst I’ve had - very mean portion of fish and vile batter which was spongy!

Had seen adverts for The Cheese Shed and liking cheese wanted to know what it was like. It is a very large barn, set up with tables & chairs inside with a small shop, and service area for getting food (they only do The Toastie £6.95) & soup, Smoothies & hot drinks. The Toastie is just a cheese Toastie made with cheese they make on site, it was very nice, gooey, you don’t get a choice of cheese in it or what type of bread but it was simple and tasted good. There is a large seating area outside the barn with a few children’s activities again simple but ok if the weather is good. They have a large car park area well marked out, as I think it could be busy at times, entrance is at the Benson end of Nettlebed, seemed as if we were going into a farm yard. The toilets are only portable ones don’t know if there is plans to put in permanent ones. Dogs are welcome but there were no signs of any ‘poo bins’ around which might have been good, but again someone would have to pay for them to be emptied. I would go back.

Went to The White Hart in Nettlebed on Easter Sunday for a family dinner. We all decided on a carvery as we had been previously, but many years ago and had enjoyed! Unfortunately to our dismay the food was horrible, and did not taste like a roast dinner should. The service was not good either and everything seemed to be rushed and a bit chaotic! We were very disappointed especially when this pub used to be so nice! Unfortunately we shall not be returning!

The food was excellent as well as the service. Staff were very friendly. They also give us Irish cream on the house which was very generous

We managed to get a table without a booking . The service was super friendly and atmosphere and decor is lovely . Carvery was fresh and tasty. Pudding was yummy . Will be back !
