The best restaurants in Vale of White Horse South East

Very slow since going computerised.

Quality traditional Pub food very polite staff and a dog friendly pub definitely recommend!!

Venue and staff were great let down by food menu

My husband and I visited the Eyston Arms last night for an evening meal. Joining us was our elderly dog. We were given a delightful table in front of the fireplace. The service was so prompt and friendly, even supplying a blanket, water and biscuits for the dog. The starters of chipolatas and pork belly bits were delicious, as were the mains which was the pie of the day. The bar area and the tables were all buzzing with patrons on a Wednesday night which is testament to the quality of this pub. I wish the Eyston Arms was my local pub!

We went for mothers day lunch! We were promptly sat at our table with a jug of iced water. Good job we had the water as did not see anyone again for 50 minutes when we had to ask if we could order some drinks and then food. The place was not overly busy, 8 tables including us. The guy who served us seemed to being working solo and it was only his second time working there. (No complaints with him). The food arrived an hour and a half after the table was booked and was edible but nothing more. Basic at best. The jokes from what seemed to be the manager were borderline rude. Such a shame as could be a lovely venue.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch there yesterday. Very much better than many pub/restaurants around. The food was plentiful and the quality was excellent unlike say the Rose Revived who after 20 years still can't serve cooked vegetables. We had white bait and soup for starters, three Sunday roasts, two beef and one lamb and on camembert cheese with a sliced bagget. Followed up with two cheescakes - the other two eaters were full! Don't be put off that their web site isn't working as they are moving to a new provider

The food was very tasteful, good selection of beers and helpful service.

Just ordered a Chinese meal not impressed no flavour very bland all dishes looked the same. Arrived early not very warm. Lots of cabbage in the dishes. Had better from them not impressed

Even though we have level McDonalds close to where we live, we prefer to drive 6 miles or so to Botley. We find the restaurant to have a better atmosphere. The service is great. Food always hot and is you have any problem they change the food without any questions. Fast service and the managers appear to take pride in what they produce.

We went for a Sunday roast with our adult kid who just graduated from Oxford. I had been wanting to go in since visiting Oxford last year as the pub looked warm and inviting. The food was amazing: delicious roast beef (and chicken for my husband) with excellent Yorkshire pudding and beautifully roasted vegetables, topped by a scrumptious sticky toffee pudding. Other patrons were lovely and friendly as well. Highly recommend!

Amazing takeaway from the Rose & Crown! We ordered last Friday, and it was brilliant—loads of choice, great portions, and absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a top-quality meal at home, we’d definitely recommend giving them a try! We’ll be ordering again for sure.

I wouldn’t recommend this place and won’t be going back. The venue was dirty, and there were clearly underage girls inside. Security staff weren’t displaying their licenses, which was concerning. The toilets were unusable—completely unclean and unattended. The manager seemed to be on a power trip, and there was blatant drug dealing happening. The amount of smoke in the air made it hard to see. One customer, Lisa, appeared to have a close relationship with the staff, as she was deliberately bumping into people, being mouthy and aggressive, yet it was the victims of her behavior who were escorted out instead of her. The only positive was the bar lady with purple hair—she was lovely.

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

I visited the cafe 3 times during my 4 day visit to Abingdon. The customer service was excellent with lovely friendly staff who went out of their way to help other older customers even when busy. Very nice location on the square.

Slowest McDonald’s in the world, every time have to wait and food then wrong and cold! Something everyone we come here. Management need to sort out.
