The best restaurants in West Oxfordshire South East

Utterly charming village pub completely let down by the hostile attitude of the owner. We pulled up intending to have a beer and some lunch and visit churchills grave 3 mins over the road and were subjected to a screaming session from the owner who had just pulled up and was displeased about the amount of cars in the car park. Turns out the primary school opposite had an early finish and parents had used her car park for collection. We had to enter the pub to register our numberplate anyway, and even after telling her we would be returning for lunch after walking over to the grave site (c. 10 mins total when we later went) she continued screaming that she didnt care and we had to move our car, and followed us into the pub, continuing to shout infront of lunchtime customers, even continuing after her barman explained about the early school leaving. We paid for a beer as the car park was then too full of people to move the car easily, but decided we weren't spending lunch there. Car park was empty before half a pint was finished so we moved to the opposite side of the road and visited the grave site as planned. For a countryside 'community pub', that reception was unacceptable. I understand issues with parking around school time but that is part of being a community, and easily manageable without being aggressive to customers. Rural pub footfall is based on ramblers and walkers visiting and being so close to a national landmark must be a huge benefit to their footfall so I am unsure why, if there was such an issue on a private site, signage or other means couldn't have been used, or communication to the school/parents regarding her wishes

Called Sunday afternoon just for a drink, good pint of Hawkstone session lager. A busy place with most tables taken with diners. There is a small area near the bar where they were happy for us to sit just having a drink, but it is more restaurant than pub.

Popped in for a pint with family tables are spaced far apart so felt safe cheap prices for members and non members would recommend to anyone visiting Woodstock, sports on tv (any sports that is on) Who could complain

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.

Fantastic little pub, cosy and characterful and always busy with a great atmosphere. I couldn’t fault the food, we shared a charcuterie platter to start with sourdough and butter, our mains were half a roast chicken and baked sole,sides of kale and chips. There are only 6 wines by the glass, the red served too cold for me and these were comparatively average. We shared a sticky toffee sundae. Exceptional value and a great evening.

Fantastic meal and service for a family celebration. We all really enjoyed our main meals and managed to find room for a delicious pudding! Really friendly staff and will definitely be visiting again. Would highly recommend.

The whole place needs a good clean, I'm dreading what the kitchen looks like! I won't be going again. Absolutely disgusting!

Always love the chips from here. Never disappointed.

We had a delicious Sunday roast and vegetable chickpea pie and mac and cheese for the kid, all of which were very good. The atmosphere and staff were also really great. We really enjoyed our lunch here at the pub.

Got to be the most soul destroying pub I have ever been in. Don’t bother looking at the menu as most things aren’t available. Sadly, we had ordered a bottle of wine before trying to order food or would have just walked straight out again.

We had a really, really nice meal here. It was a Friday night and we didn't know we'd be able to go out beforehand so had not made a booking. We were grateful to be accommodated and the atmosophere was very friendly. Also, I was recommended a lager that was absolutely delicious.

A beautiful 😍 pub in Chadlington. Great views to boot. Great staff 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.

Never fails us! This has always been and will always be our go to when entertaining friends and family. We are guaranteed to have exceptional food and the staff make us feel so welcomed everytime. See you all again soon and thank you

Such a lovely find and very cosy vibes! Loved the three courses for £27 deal - they even let you take the desert away! Would recommend to anyone in the area.
