The best restaurants in Longworth Vale of White Horse South East

My mum loves this spot as it's cosy and dog friendly. Lovely warm friendly staff and I like the little covered tables out the back, but honestly I didn't rate the food... vegetarian roast option was a Mediterranean tart (which was a bit bland and odd to eat with roast veg and gravy) and there weren't very good options across the board for veggies in my opinion. Vegetables felt a bit boil in the bag - roast potatoes however were great. This is all speaking only as a vegetarian - meat eaters may love it and again, can't fault the service and general atmosphere! Worth a try if you're local.

Food is superb. We had the burger which was delicious and the sticky toffee pudding which was the nicest I have tasted. The serving staff were very friendly and super helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

Booked an early dinner which meant the restaurant was fairly quiet. The staff were all lovely and made sure our experience was top-notch. The food was superb (first time I've had a Chinese starter followed by an Indian main). Every dish was perfectly spiced with tender meat and the sides were fabulous. Massive car park, interesting decor. A really good night.

First class country pub, welcoming staff and lovely atmosphere. Excellent food - burger in particular was superbly flavoursome. Good value too. Would recommend.

Ate a lunch here and due to the fact it was January just after Christmas and horrible weather it was understandably very quiet. However, we had a nice cosy table in the bar area and the service and food was very good. We thoroughly enjoyed everything and will very happily be back for more.

We have been several time since they have been under new management. Excellent food and excellent service. They should be more widely known.

We live quite locally to the Trout and have had ups and downs with change in management over the years. The pub itself is beautiful and the location is idyllic being riverside by the Thames. The potential is enormous but sadly the food was terrible. I booked a Sunday lunch online for my son's 25th birthday with a clear message that this was a special lunch (he has autism and was so looking forward to this celebration). Our booking was for noon. When we arrived the staff were friendly and efficient. One of my sons and I decided to have the 'Great British Sunday Roast' (it sounded so good) with my son choosing the pork with apple sauce and I chose the chicken. My other son chose the burger. We waited around 45 - 60 minutes to receive our food. No water offered but we finally got one of the staff's attention and got some water (half way through the meal). Belly of West End Farm pork, baked apple sauce 21.95 This was fatty, as expected, and tasteless. The gravy looked and tasted like a shiny Bisto pre-made gravy. The potatoes tasted, and had the texture of pre-cooked and frozen roast potatoes that had been sitting under a heated light for a while. Awful. There was NO apple sauce with the meal. Castlemead Farm chicken, sage and onion sausage stuffing, bread sauce 19.95 This too was... awful. The smell of the gravy (which was the exact same Bisto gravy that was used with the pork) was so strong and nauseating. The presentation was poor with the plate swimming in this Bisto gravy, potatoes (as above) pre-cooked and warmed up, a small spoonful of some sort of squash that was drowned in the gravy, a large Yorkshire pudding that was rubbery and tasteless, was plonked on top. The chicken was half a breast with bone and a tiny wing... it was unsightly, smelled awful and the predominant taste was a beef Bisto gravy that was so overpowering I felt sick. We paid and left as my son (who has autism) was stressed. I did not complain as it was his birthday and that would have upset him. Please don't call it the 'Great British Sunday Roast' as that meal wouldn't have qualified as the worst school dinner. How difficult is it to cook a Sunday roast?? I have since read other reviews (I wish I had read them before booking!) and I've seen that the general manager has answered with good intentions to get things right. They haven't... what a shame as it was a huge waste of money and disappointment all round.

Very disappointed that under aged kids are allowed to drink in the pub. I had to pick my son up drunk, he is 16. To tell my older son who collected him, he doesn’t notice when it’s busy, it’s your job and your staff to not allow them in and serve them.

Had a Sunday lunch for 2, my wife had previously been and rated this village pub part of the Greene King group. In a way the pub is traditional with a bar, restaurant layout but with a COVID canopy with booth style tables. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The draught beer on offer was a Greene King summer brew and a guest ale from Hardy & Hansons, Old Trip. Very reasonably priced at £4.80. We both had a roast, I had beef and my wife pork. My beef was plentiful but a little chewy but wife’s pork was good. The roast potatoes were very good and the vegetables were plentiful if a little soggy. There was a good sweet selection I had the apple pie with custard which was alright. I don’t know why there haven’t been any recent reviews but based on this visit I won’t be rushing back, sorry.
