The best restaurants in Watlington South Oxfordshire South East

We booked a table for six by phone in the morning for A Boxing Day lunch and were lucky enough to get a table. We all had pizzas, chosen from a wide ranging menu and we each had a superb meal. The pub looked great in its Christmas finery but it always is an attractive and welcoming place. There was a real family atmosphere created by the staff, making it a pleasure and a treat to be there. We have been before but it reminded us that we should go there more often.

After hearing good things about this place myself and my partner thought we’d try their Sunday roast. Well we were not disappointed in the slightest! The atmosphere was great. The staff were very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. And the food was just perfect! We will definitely be back and would highly recommend you check it out 🌟

A great deli for our pre-christmas cheese shop. They have a huge stock of all those special things we want for the festive table. I might have given 5 stars for food too, but they didn't have a couple of our favourite cheeses this year. I may amend to 5 stars if stock is better next year. Lovely staff.

Easily the best pub for food, drink and atmosphere in Oxfordshire, probably the whole of the UK and quite possibly the whole world. Wonderful hosts, friendly and smiley staff and the best fish and chips 😋 Definitely worth a visit 👍

Had a great Sunday Carvery with parents. Food excellent, portions large & welcome from Chef & staff fantastic. Will be back !

Beautifully rustic, plenty of parking, dog friendly with immaculate service and delicious food! Very highly recommended.

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😟

We went as a group of 14 for lunch, having pre-booked and chosen from the menu in advance. Everything arrived promptly and exactly as ordered and was delicious. Thankyou for looking after us all so well, including the 2 coeliac gluten-frees. Good choice on the menu, I had a cider with my meal, others had beers, wines, soft drinks etc. Everyone was happy, parking was easy and plentious.

A delicious cheese toastie made for the perfect lunch ! What a unique venue offering a limited but tasty menu accompanied by great service!

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.

Bizarre first experience. Greated by a lovely big dog which turned out to be the pub dog. Unfortunately it just wouldn’t leave our dogs alone (I won’t be graphic) which was making for a very uncomfortable game of musical chairs. Once I’d had enough I asked someone to tell the owner to see if they could move the dog…. He came out and shouted at me telling me the dog couldn’t come inside and it was HIS garden. After a 3 hour walk this wasn’t the relaxing experience we were hoping for and the gentlemen involved really needs to work on his customer service. From looking at the reviews I can see there’s clearly some issues!

Fab family birthday meal & a great evening at The White Hard , awesome menu choices & great service. Loved the Douth African twist potting for the boboti curry 🍛 just awesome. With caramel cheesecake to finish a wonderful evening and just the ticket.

Reassured by the Tripadvisor rating, we were looking forward to trying this Thai pub. What a letdown. Absolutely dreadful food. Avoid.

Good selection on the menu , service excellent, lamb rump justed melted in the mouth.black cod cooked perfectly, and desserts were delicious
