The best restaurants in Hendreds Vale of White Horse South East

A really very high quality experience. The owners have ensured that everything needed is available, and that there is plenty of space for different groups to use different rooms. All rooms are ensuite, and extra loos on ground and first floor. After the restoration, the place has been wonderfully furnished. Breakfasts were provided and were lovely.

Most amazing pub I've been to in years. Like a time capsule and super friendly.

We were staying in Abingdon and thought we would get a good meal here. When we arrived at 7pm it was so busy, we ordered our drinks and perused the menu. We both decided on the special soup of the day, which was French onion, and it was lovely and hot and very tasty. For mains hubby chose the sea bass, which he loved, I thought I'd have the rump steak, which was served on a bed of root vegetables, which seemed odd, the steak was cooked to perfection, but the root veg didn't belong there, in fact I gave them all to my husband. First time we have eaten here and slightly disappointed 😞 Plenty of free parking and beautiful clean ladies toilets. We will be in the area again next September and we will return

We have visited The Grocery Chef a few times now and everytime the food has been excellent. Everthing is homemade. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. Well behaved dogs are allowed but understandably they like them to have clean paws otherwise you are issued with a towel.

A good, underrated pub. Excellent food and service.

I emailed Carly as I had previously been at lunch time and had a Brie and Bacon Panini and wondered if I could have one early evening. She was very helpful and also booked me a table for 4 people at 6.30 pm on the Wednesday.We were greeted by some lovely welcoming staff. We ordered drinks and then mains which consisted of. BBQ ribs with fries, Halloumi with fries, Sausages mash vegetables with a jug of gravy, Panini and fries. Two of us had dessert which was waffles and Eton mess. The food was well presented and delicious. Highly Recommend and will definitely be returning.

Excellent Hotel. Staff friendly, and very helpful. Rooms clean and comfortable. excellent food. Enjoyed my stay and would recommend

Lovely food and excellent service as usual. Great place for an evening meal with friends.

We had previously visited this pub under its previous management where we had a great lunch. A little disappointed to find out the new management does not have a lunch menu anymore and there is only the main menu. Nevertheless we had stopped for lunch and committed ourselves. Food. Starters: We had a starters and a main. £9.50 for 6 pieces of calamari, and a smear of mushy pea on a plate, which in my opinion came straight out of a packet, and was an extortionate price for a disappointing plate of food. The other starter we opted for was chicken wings. For £8.50 we got 4 plain chicken wings drizzled with soy sauce and a scattering of sesame seeds, again not worth the money. Main course: the steak and ale pie was very good, home made a very tasty with plenty of veg and gravy. No complaints at all. However, the fish and chips was not so great. For £16 we were served a half decent bit of fish accompanied with 9 chunky chips and what was supposed to be mushy peas and tartare sauce. There was more tartare sauce than mushy peas but at least the lemon was chargrilled. Drinks: 1 x Diet Coke and a medium glass of wine which was very nice but at £10 a glass it should be. Service: it was quiet and we were served adequately. In summary, overpriced food and drinks. We usually do not mind spending good money on good food but unfortunately this is not the case here. A lunch time menu, as previously served, would help as other customers were also asking for sandwiches and lighter bites. It is a lovely pub in a lovely location.

Anyone know how I contact the leaseholders? Is the cafe open? It was amazing when it was open but looking at reviews it isn’t at present

Four of us ate here and loved it. A stunning hotel with beautiful decor and an interesting history. Food was well presented and delicious. Rose served us and she was so helpful and professional. Definitely will return.

Excellent food, good & attentive service. Coped well with our range of dietary needs and made our celebration meal special. Expensive but worth it!

The home made ice cream here is second to none! they have loads of very tastey home made and baked treats supplied by local people. Not to mention all the amazing locally sourced fresh meat that is butchered right there on site. This is my idea of a great farm shop!! The best part is the butcher always has a fresh bone or two for my dog when he sees us coming!! So lucky to have such a good farm shop near by!!

Brilliant!!! Staff are amazing so kind and helpful, Sarah, Jen and Emma are the best!!!! Great atmosphere and lovely environment, decor is lovely too!

Such a beautiful pub so quirky. Amazing staff made us feel so very welcome. The food was outstanding! All freshly made and home cooked. Will 💯 be going back and highly recommended.
