The best restaurants in Witney South West Oxfordshire South East

Used to love this place however has gone down hill since new management, i.e had cold chips and curry sauce a few months back. We decided to give it another go and bought a double cheese burger, mixed kebab and chips. Was quite nice however my partner (who had the kebab) is very ill and can’t move away from the bathroom. We will not be returning.

This is a lovely pub, just as a local should be. The owner is very experienced in the hospitality industry and it shows. The welcome is warm and the Hook Norton beers are well kept. Where they knock the ball out of the park is the food. Fabulous home made generously portioned dishes. Just go, it’s a gem of a place.

Been coming to the YS since 3 or so years now and the Coffee and Hot Chocolate are still smooth and excellent…coupled with the best Toasted Ham and Cheese in Oxfordshire it’s a wonderful combination. When you also consider the superb work they do in training youngsters with learning difficulties it’s truly a Cafe full of heart and soul, served by ever smiling Baristas. Can’t recommend it highly enough, money and time very well spent indeed !

we have visited here a few times, and it is by far our favourite Vietnamese restaurant. we are a family of meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans, and we have finally found a restaurant that caters for all of us which we all love! the fried spring rolls are the best!! it doesn’t look like anything fancy from the outside, but don’t let that put you off, as the food is absolutely brilliant!

Excellent service by staff members

Great pint at the newly refurbished Chequers!

So thought we would try this place. Honest opinion. Ordered chicken tikka masala, chicken bhuna, roti, rice, chips with masala sauce and coriander. So the food isnt nothing like anywhere else in witney. The masala doesn’t taste like a masala in the slightest, although tasted ok. The bhuna was again nothing like a bhuna but again tasted ok. The masala covered chips had no masala sauce so not sure what happened there. So would I go back there. Unfortunately not. Not really anything special. And hardly any choices.

When a business contact of mine from London told me he would be visiting Witney, of course I wanted to meet up with him. But also I wanted to impress him and show him the best that Witney ha to offer. When I booked dinner at The Three Horseshoes I was confident that my contact would have a great evening, and it was absolutely the right choice. As soon as he arrived he commented on how amazing the pub was, and how he loved the atmosphere and the log burner too. Our dinner was fantastic and even though the place was busy, the speed or service and the attentiveness of the team was brilliant. They were there when we needed them, and left us to get on with our business conversation the rest of the time. For impressing a really important contact from London - The Three Horseshoes was exactly the right choice and what is SO brilliant is that it is also the perfect choice for a quiet pint or to meet up with friends too.

Arrived with my family to find that it is no longer a Smokehouse, but is now a sports bar. Walked up the road and found another lovely pub instead.

A lovely place with a nice atmosphere. A good range of brunch menu items to eat and drink, and tasty too. Great service by the team.

Good value. Friendly staff. Run by the same family for some years.

The whole family’s been coming here for years and the food is always good. Very consistent with the flavour, hot food served on hot plates and some nice editions added now and again. The staff are very knowledgeable about the food, delivered in good time and always with a smile. ( the owner should learn from them because I don’t think I’ve seen her smile once) If the restaurant had proper menu’s, not those grubby take-a-way ones and the lighting could be dimmed a touch it would be a five star review. Smile and turn the lights down.

Service was so slow. Waited over 10minutes for a coffee and soft drink to be given Diet Coke instead of full fat. I just left it and drank that. then waited 30 minutes for poached eggs on toast and a club sandwich. That was supposed to come with side of crisps or Salad which got neither. !! It was not busy only 3 tables in the whole place. Awful experience!!

We went here for a few cocktails before moving on for a meal out. It's small but looks the part for a cocktail bar. The first thing that hit us though as we entered was the horrendous smell from the toilets. It was really off putting and so we sat by the main door which thankfully was open. I think this place could be great but cleanliness has to be top priority. We will not return if it smells that bad again.

When you feel the children deserve a sugary treat, this is the spot. Portions are plenty and sure to delight
