The best restaurants in Vale of White Horse South East

Carpenters have now sadly closed I think due to retirement but the new tenants Blake’s Kitchen are well worth a visit and serve decent food

We called in here as I’d never been and thought we’d try it out. We ordered two cheese scones with butter and two coffees and sat in the garden. Our very small scones arrived before the coffees, We thought as we buttered our not very cheesy cheese scones that the butter had a strange texture, the coffees were very small and not that hot. As we sat chattering I noticed on the butter wrapper, ‘use by 6/6/23’ The date of our visit being Monday 19th June!! My friend caught the attention of the waitress and told her we’d just eaten two weeks out of date butter, she just said ‘Oh sorry, I’ll tell the kitchen’ We sat for another 15 minutes half expecting maybe a further apology from the kitchen but nobody came near us, so we left having spent £12.30 on two small un-cheesy scones, stale butter and two small warm coffees. Obviously there won’t be a return visit.

Despite what stupid people troll, the venue is perfectly set up to cope with dog visits, it’s called being inclusive! Owner met a dog, gave it a treat then washed his hands. Keyboard warriors post nonsense. We had the most delicious smoothie and were impressed with all the craft pts available too

We arranged a surprise birthday party for 2 of our colleagues (we work on Milton Park) and the Manager and staff could not have been more helpful. We gave them our list of food choices and drinks 24 hours prior to yesterdays party and there was not a single problem. They even cut the cake we brought in and served it to us, knowing that this is usually chargeable in many places they wanted to ensure us all of a great time. I cannot praise the staff highly enough in this Brasserie and likewise in the cafe (visit is daily) The menu choices catered to all 20 of us and no one had to limit what they wanted because the choice was varied. Again, thank you for a brilliant lunch time service and you are now our "go to restaurant" for work lunches etc.See you all soon. On behalf of all 20 us THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT A GREAT SURPRISE :)

Tolle Adresse mit sehr leckeren Gerichten und fantastischem Nachtisch, einfach unbeschreiblich lecker. Wir hatten die Tagessuppe, Pie, Risotto mit Blauschimmelkäse&Spinat, den Bread&Butter-Pudding with Apricot zum Nachtisch... unbedingt probieren!

Sami's kebab is a wonderful local fast food joint offering a range of pizza and chicken treats, but known best to me for making the most delicious and fresh kebabs around. Gorgeous chunks of marinaded chicken served on rice or pitta (or without either if you're minding your carb intake!) with a wide range of fresh salad items, sauces and relishes to further heighten the taste. Wonderful service to me as a takeaway customer whereby I asked the delivery driver to drop the food inside the ground floor door (I'm 3rd floor and moving slowly due to a back issue) and instead, I'd just scooped myself up and out the door to go down and there was the smiling delivery driver already waiting with my food. 9 flights of stairs no issue to this guy. Top marks allround and heartily recommended by yours truly. 5/5

For an absolutely unmatched dinnig experience, I’ve eaten all over the world, from Gousto’s to Gordon Ramsay’s (and of course Pablo lounge, regretfully next door). I destroyed 10 steak bakes in one sitting and fed my wife cake, we had a memorable time. Definitely recommend for Valentine’s Day or birthdays. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon, if only Pablo had made us feel the same. #boycottpablo #endlesspasteries #schouldinghotdrinks Kind regards, …I’ll be back with my wife to buy the chicken bakes soon.

Our regular morning coffee stop normally quite peaceful with outdoor seating in decent westher. Has a second hand book area, can be a little noisier on Saturday mornings when a lego session takes place

Just a normal greggs morning after refuelling my vehicle, however I had to give a decent review due to the fact that as I was going to get a bacon and cheese turnover, the staff advised that the product was not warm, this I have never had and then advised on the sausage rolls just out of the oven. That in my view is quality service, to give the customer knowledge of the product being hot or cold is what people like to know, yes I could have asked but I didn’t need to and I’m not walking away disappointed. Only star taken away was because they were cold. I want a bacon and cheese turnover! But the coffee is tasty. Thanks greggs

After his sailing, my son and I had Panini, chips and beans and a mug of tea, most welcome after a good sail. Out for a day on the water or just for a walk around the reservoir, Hackett's Harbour is a good place to stop for a hot drink or a filling snack.

Great food, staff were lovely. Popped in for 2 drinks and bacon and egg roll. Lovely hot drinks and food. Went for a walk and popped out and then back for some fresh sausages from their butchery counter. Will come back.

Fantastic fish and chips in Crayford! 🐟🍟 Fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. Excellent customer service—friendly and fast. Highly recommend!

Our 4th visit and I'm delighted to say the Full English Breakfast was better than ever with their new menu and still at only £10 including tea or coffee. Great value!

A surprising gem in Abingdon, I’ve always walked past this unassuming restaurant. It is like a tardis inside. Large back room with an incredible atmosphere, generous portions and every dish tasted perfect. They didn’t have lamb madras on the menu but made me one regardless.

Lovely pub, lush food & really great service. Staff are lovely!
