Went to this lovely restaurant last night. They were fully booked but I kept ringing on the day asking whether there were any cancellations which there fortunately was. Well decorated and a great atmosphere. There were 5 of us and every dish we ordered was excellent. The service was top notch and friendly and the lady owner was wonderful and kind. Would definitely return. This is a great restaurant that fully deserves it's status as no.1 on TripAdvisor.

Booked for a meal with friends mid week but arrived to find there was no reserved table and the pub was busy with drinkers and people playing pool. We had looked at the menu online and my friend who booked was told that the menu would be the same on the day. It was similar but the chicken bites did not appear to have a choice of sauces unlike the online menu and there were differences like the bites not being described as chicken thighs or the chips being homemade/rustic. Friends still decided on the chicken bites but when the food arrived we were very disappointed. The fries looked pale and appeared to be very similar to branded frozen oven chips you buy in supermarkets presented on their own in a white bowl. The breaded chicken bites, in a separate white bowl, arrived with no sauce whatsoever (menu said spicy sauce I believe) and looked very unappealing. We queried where the sauce was with the lad who was serving us and he seemed very perplexed by our request! He went back in to the kitchen and came back with some sauce drizzled over the top. The chicken bites/nuggets were dry and tasteless, my burger was ok but with pale fries and there was no care over the presentation. Plonked on to cheap white plates and bowls. I don’t know if it was because it was mid week but the photos on the website did not represent what we were served! We also had a dog jumping up when we were trying to eat. It is probably a good drinkers pub but the food was pretty poor. I wish I’d taken photos to show the difference in what we were served and what was advertised online!

We had a stop in Abingdon on our way to Oxford. A leg stretch and looking for a place to have just a light lunch and a drink. We stumbled upon the museum and in the course of checking out the Crossley Pumping Engine in the basement decided to have luch there. The cafe is only open till 2pm but with half an our to spare we managed to get an order in for 2 toastie cheese and ham sandwiches. Hardly a particularly exciting lunch you may think, but there are toasties and there are toasties. Ours were excellent and just hit the spot after a pleasant visit to the museum above. Sometimes you just stumble on these places and have to pass them on to thers. If you are a veggie get there earlier than 1.30 as apprently the veggie versions take a bit longer to prepare.

Unpleasant member of staff (or the owner?) takes the joy out of shopping here. Gives you the impression you the customer are a bit of a nuisance. Such a shame as it’s otherwise a good shop. I wish I’d just ordered my item online. Won’t bother trying them again next time.

This places is the best place to get curry in abingdon by bar simply because it has the best service and best food and when I go in they always remember my name and give me free sauces and free poppadoms and an excellent curry at an amazing price.

Food was nice but portions very small for the price. My wife had a single prawn in her Pad Thai !!! One prawn!!!! Wouldn't visit again, very overpriced for what you get given. Make the portions bigger, or drop the prices. This was a normal full priced meal, not some 'all you can eat' deal, which makes it even worse. In response to the owner's reply, we came on Thursday evening & sat downstairs. Be serious - you expect customers to point out to the waiting staff (it was a man, not a lady, and he was very nice) when you skimp on ingredients??

Went there with the wife and kid today. What a regret that I've never been there before! The service we received was so welcoming and heartful, the food was so well seasoned and prepared with mastery and everything tasted delicious. We got the Mezzeh special for 2 and enjoyed every course of the meal. The price was fair and we even treated ourselves to an extra portion of Kibbys (which were perfect). Will definitely be coming back here.
