The best restaurants in Woodstock and Bladon West Oxfordshire South East

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Delicious panini afresh made to order. It’s quite basic as a cafe, you wouldn’t want to stay for ages, but it’s perfectly nice for a quick lunch. Also delicious pastries & cakes. Eat in or takeaway. Good value.

Service first class food beautiful will definitely return. A lovely way to celebrate my 60 birthday. Thank you Connie Jennings

As we are in lockdown it was a real treat to have an Indian Takeaway, my husband has eaten here many times and assured that it was great food. The takeaway didn’t disappoint. It arrived on time and was not and delicious. Would thoroughly recommend end. Thank you .

we had visited this café previously had a really nice experience both service and food wise... what a difference this time absolutely no greeting whatsoever, no interaction, the blonde waitress was positively unfriendly as was the man we obtained our drinks from(no drink menu just pointed at the fridge) pannini's were very average one being overdone, packet crisps and packet mixed salad leaves with very thick balsamic vinegar poured over which totally overpowered any taste the 'salad' may have had.. to be frank we have not felt more unwelcome and disappointed and would suggest in such a popular tourist establishment the staff we met need to seriously consider a career change, we will not be returning or recommending The Buttery

We had intended going here for a meal during our stay, but after visiting for drink decided it wasn’t a good choice. The menu was extremely limited as they were running down stock as they were shortly closing down as the property had been sold. The property was tired and mismatched and seemed to be frequented by local drinkers. The location near the river could have been a great place and hopefully the new owners have capitalized on this. We would certainly look in again if we were visiting the area just to see how it had changed. There is stiff competition in the area with other fine eateries and pubs

The historic ambience of this old Coaching Inn makes for a pleasant spot to have dinner . Staff were friendly and helpful . However .... Many menu items were missing ( e g only 2 desserts ) although some extras were offered . Some items were significantly over priced e g > £6 for a few 1/2 slices of bread and the desserts . The quality of the turkey main was poor ( dry & overcooked ) . When it was mentioned a free dessert was offered - thanks . Overall not what I would have expected for the price charged .

Stopped here for a light Lunch, first time in Woodstock - very welcoming Staff and interior - Had the Pea & Mint Soup and a home made sausage roll. Very very tasty and good portions - will definitely detour through Woodstock again for another visit.

Ordered Friday fish and chips, amazed by the standard of food, the batter probably tempora , light and crispy, fish fresh, white, chips amazing , served hot. Had to wait a while whilst being freshly cooked, worth the wait. Thank you.

Enjoyed a 2 night stay here. Lovely modern room with great facilities. Location is very good, just a short walk to Blenheim. We managed very easily to get a parking space with a 24 hour £10 permit bought from the hotel but can see parking being an issue at busier times. Breakfast was excellent, really good choice and cooked to order. Didn’t eat dinner here and think the evening menu could do with a bit of updating but overall would definitely return.

After a grand walk in autumn sun we decided to treat ourselves to a cuppa and cake. Great selection of cakes at reasonable prices. It certainly rounded off a lovely afternoon

Massively over priced. The jam for the scone hardly covered it. One cup of tea, not a pot. The scone was more like a large bread roll. Not a great experience.

Well, where do I start? It's Thursday night at 8.30pm and we were the only ones in the restaurant. We had to ask the guy to play music. We ordered egg fried rice and special fried rice which was just boiled rice with a bit mixed in. The meat in the main dishes were tough. The prawn was so tough my mum choked on it. The banana fritter was good but it was the only thing that was. Went to use toilet, one smell, I crossed my legs and left. We will NEVER go there again!!!

Based on positive experiences some years ago, we approached Barefoot Bakery again for a birthday cake for our seven-year-old's birthday party. When we asked about alternatives to white sugar, explaining about health issues, we were told, rather rudely "(...) in that case I suggest not buying her cakes then." Interesting approach to customer retention - the two-stars reviews seen on this forum mentioning terrible customer service finally make sense ...
