The best restaurants in Faringdon and The Coxwells Vale of White Horse South East

We’ve been here a few times for sandwiches, today we thought we would try the Brie, bacon and cranberry paninis. I can honestly say it’s the worst panini I’ve ever had. The bacon was really very fatty and cold. Both of us only ate one mouthful and then had to remove all the bacon. The lady behind the counter was very busy so I didn’t feel able to complain.

Just exploring the town last night and decided that a walk up London Street would be interesting as some quite historic buildings in the area. Then happened upon The Folly Inn and realised that it was Free House. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and good ale. Shall go back for food soon and another lovely pint. Thank you for welcome.

This cafe is a real hidden gem in the centre of Faringdon, offering delicious and authentic Indonesian food alongside a traditional coffee shop menu. The cafe is small with just a few tables but we were seated straight away. Extremely prompt and friendly service and the food was excellent.

Receptionist on the phone is not very nice at all, sort it out. I don't appreciate being hung up on when I'm in the middle of talking, disgusting.

We went for a celebration meal. Food was amazing. I had the lamb partner had the venison and others had stake. All were very happy with the quality of the food. My partner and I stayed the night in a nice 4 poster bed with excellent breakfast and only £100 total as we booked direct.

Nice coffee and absolutely delicious beef curry. Very friendly staff.

Planned on coming here after the pub tonight - gone by 1230 - what sort of kebab van goes home by 1230!?

I visited here based on the rave reviews, I was quite excited as I love a quaint tea room. The lady serving but very friendly so no issue there, the issue was the prices. The espresso was around £2.50 ish, but the Americano was “£5”?? So that’s another £2.50 for hot water, the latte was over £5 and even the tea was £5. For that price I would expect to be in a 5 star hotel with armchairs and a glorious open fire, they don’t even have a toilet, there is a dirty public toilet outside. I really don’t like giving bad reviews but I was totally dumbfounded by the prices and that people seem to be paying it.

Looking for a drink and a bite to eat on a day out, popped into Sadlers but found they'd just closed, Staff apologised but asked what we were after as they still had some pasties for take away, this suited us fine. Food was packed and labelled as different flavours and drinks from the fridge. We paid and left to eat said pasties and commented how helpful and pleasant the girls had been. Very helpful and pleasant customer experience, thank you.

We booked a special birthday lunch here, having seen some good reviews. We were shown to the ballroom, where the flowers on the table were dead!! We were then given a bar menu of small plates. When we asked for the lunch menu, we were told that they were not running lunch today, as they had a large booking in the evening. We booked in advance and the day before, we had an email asking us to reconfirm our booking, which we did. The restaurant didn’t bother to warn us in advance despite having told them it was a special birthday lunch. Appalling service, so we left and ate elsewhere, at the White Hart in Fyfield, where we had a wonderful meal

Lovely hotel, easy parking, great location. We had our dog and had an ideal room for this. We didn't use the restaurant but have heard highly of it. Unfortunately there was no hot water during our stay, out of their control obviously, as soon as the manager was on site they were apologetic and dealt with our concerns very well. We will definitely return.

Our dining experience at The Viceroy was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we walked in, my husband, son, and I were welcomed with warm hospitality that made us feel immediately at ease. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy charm and refined elegance, ideal for a memorable family night out or a special occasion. The menu at The Viceroy is both expansive and carefully curated, featuring a range of authentic Indian dishes prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We were impressed by the variety of options, from rich, aromatic curries to lighter vegetarian dishes and flavorful sides, catering beautifully to all our tastes. My husband and I shared the Chef’s Signature Specials and were blown away by the depth of flavor and attention to detail. The balance of spices was impeccable, and each dish had its own unique character. Our son enjoyed his meal just as much, and the staff made sure he was taken care of with age-appropriate recommendations and friendly service. The service at The Viceroy was top-notch—attentive and genuinely warm, making us feel like honored guests without being intrusive. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and even offered a few thoughtful suggestions that turned out to be highlights of our meal. From start to finish, The Viceroy exceeded our expectations, providing an experience that was both delicious and memorable. We left feeling completely satisfied and eager to return. This place is a true gem, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an outstanding Indian dining experience!

Me and my husband loved the place. We had a really good reception, the manager was efficient and works good with the team. The food was so tasty and fresh.

Excellent madras curry & king pawn biriani and great service
