The best restaurants in South Oxfordshire South East

The pack horse is very convenient to meet our friends for dinner. I wouldn't say it is a great eating house but usually ok. I choose for a starter the french onion soup, which I can only describe as tasteless and overpriced. It was definitely not like any french onion soup I had had anywhere else, it was meant to come with a sourdough roll but was replaced by 2 small pieces of dry bread. My fish was well cooked but the chips were again tasteless as were the mushy peas. On top of this our server had absolutely no interest in serving us. In the past the the staff have been very good so perhaps this was just a bad day to come and eat. I guess they had been busy as they were also running out of mains (pies and crispy beef salads), but we had to order them to find out rather than be told in advance. It's a shame as the pub is very well located for us, we might have to look around for somewhere else to meet up.

Ordered a takeaway at 5:15pm to be delivered at 7pm. Had to chase the food at 7:15pm that had not even left the restaurant by that point, and did not receive it until 7:30pm. The guy on the phone just laughed and said his driver was slow & that I should take it up with him. Good food but awful & unprofessional service. Shame as I won't be back because of his attitude.

We ordered lunch for a Friday treat for the office - it exceeded expectations and everyone was happy and full up!

Excellent curry and true community heros

I turned up at 20:30 and nobody was there. I rang the bell and then knocked on the owners door (after being shown where it was by another resident) and no answer. I waited for 15 mins and still nothing so I had to find another place to stay. This is terrible service and I want a full refund.

Not what I was expecting. Good food and excellent service.

APRIL 2024 - the restaurant is CLOSED until 23rd April. Don’t order on their online service because it’s not open and it WILL take your money anyway. Bit annoying they left this open but if this does happen to you, click the live chat on their ordering system and they can refund you (despite it saying they can’t on their FAQs)

Ordered several pizzas for our darts team, great quality food and service highly recommended, would use again without question!

Nice cafe situated in the old bank. Staff are always pleasant and nice choice of cakes. Tea nicely served in pots on wooden trays and cakes nicely served on wooden platters. Reasonably priced. Tiffin cake was nice but a bit stodgy. Very dog friendly with free doggy treats. The cleanest toilet ever! Unfortunately there was an overpowering background chemical smell in the cafe. Would definitely visit again.

Best meal we've had in ages. Been coming for many a long year but today's lunch was outstanding. Their fish cookery is now really excellent. And so very fresh, but it doesn't matter how fresh the fish is if you massacre the fish it doesn't really matter. They don't. They treat it with care. I had Skate wing, octopus and mussels on crushed Jersey Royals with tender stem broccoli and my friend had sea bass, cooked perfectly. Followed by Eton Mess and accompanied by a good bottle of Pouilly Fume. Thursday definitely got better. Thank you so much, the chefs and the staff

We had a great meal at The Square, Monkfish was delicious, vegetables cooked perfectly. Thanks for a fab evening and great service....

Not sure if we turned up on a bad night, but we booked in advance ,when we got there they knew nothing about the booking. The guy behind the counter was very rude and really poor attitude, poor service and unwelcoming all through the meal, did not ask us if we wanted any more drinks durring the meal, just very unpleasant experience, won't be back that's for sure, food was okay

Food was ok but the wait time for such an empty restaurant was ridiculous.

I was told, if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. Sadly, Trip advisor requires more characters. The CB is, outdated, tired, confused, comical, overpriced. They have not a clue about Thai cuisine. Edamame beans (Japan) and seed weed (Chinese) as a starter, pork on three dishes (one was BBQ pork, Chr Siu) and a Pad Thai that was over sweet, over cooked, void of shrimps, egg, fish sauce, shallots etc etc. Stir fried aubergine enrobed in hoi sin, really. I'd be stunned if a Thai national cooked this meal and best it's a very poor European interpretation of "Asian" food. Oh, and lemon meringue pie to finish.

Had a wonderful meal . The staff are so friendly and helpful And the menu is outstanding. Thoroughly recommend
