The best restaurants in Eynsham and Cassington West Oxfordshire South East

Perfect place if you're venturing into Oxford! We booked here as we didn't want any parking problems for our event that was at the Playhouse, and it worked an absolute treat. Oxford city centre is an absolute nightmare at the moment so even if you think you have given yourself an hour or two to attend the Playhouse, you'll find it's more like 2/3 hours getting in. Hence the Chequers Inn! We turned up at 12pm, the owners happily put our bags in storage so we could get to the show in time. We attended the show, got back to the Chequers and where greeted by "How was the play?"..... we then had an evening meal that was beyond words! The chef is from my city of Leicester and she so knows how to cook a curry! I had the butter chicken and my wife had the lamb curry, daughter had the vegetarian Dahl. Simply the best we've had in years - the "hand cooked, daily fresh" says it all! We had the family room which was lovely - massive TV if you want to spend the time watching TV, but to be honest, I was happy to go to bed soon after the meal as I was rather content! The morning breakfast was, again, really lovely! Service from start to finish was exceptional. We saw the host greeting regulars with a hug which made our day! Such a lovely couple. The food was beyond that - best Leicester Curry I've had in years - and I wasn't even in Leicester! If you are looking for a place to stay when you are visiting Oxford for a play (like we did - at the playhouse) then this is your go to place! Without a shadow of a doubt. 10 minutes drive to the Playhouse. Only downsides, and this is me being a graphic artist, is that I would improve the menu and signs for them as it's currently on a printout laminate - but I'm happy to do that free of charge for them (if they want me to!)..... just give me a tinkle! The food is SO good that it deserves a menu setting that gives it the credit it deserves. Totally amazing weekend.... thank you so much to you both! We'll be back real soon!

Don’t go there! This was the worst pizza I’ve ever had. When I got home and opened the box, it was completely burnt. I went back to exchange it, but the owner, who was incredibly rude and unprofessional, told me it was supposed to be like that and that I didn’t know what I was talking about. He even told me not to come back. I’ve never received such poor service for my money. I will never return to this awful place and do not recommend it to anyone!
