The best restaurants serving British food in Kirtlington Cherwell South East

The Dashwood Hotel and those who run it are a disaster - and it could be so good. Firstly, communication was a disaster when we had to contact them, well in advance of our stay, due to unforeseen circumstances. We were unable to go and knowing that they could have helped by re-opening the booking and finding replacement as the Blenheim Palace Game fair was on that weekend! We found someone to take our place last minute. Remote check in a nightmare and no ph no for contact! Room: no rail in wardrobe and only 2 tea bags and 2 milk pods for a 3 night stay! Lots of little niggley things when it could have been so nice. Unwelcoming

Fish and roast overcooked and the Chicken Supreme served with gravy and not Supreme sauce! The waiter didn’t understand what cask ale was so in the end we had to leave the table and get it ourselves from the bar!

Not the best best meal I've had there 😕

Excellent, very welcoming. Excellent food and the beer is not bad either. Maybe a new owner but very well managed. Food was quickly on the table. Staff very friendly and competent.

Beautiful building but recently has changed hands and quite bizarre furniture choices for historic building. We had dinner at the hotel in main dining room. Food was very expensive which is OK if of a very high standard but the food was cold and although it looked ok tasted bland and not enjoyable. We all had different choices and everybody reported the same. It was trying too hard to be a certain image. The price was around £70 each with one bottle of wine between us. There was £45 service charge added for 5 people.

Both were cooked to perfection and as we are 10/15 minutes away, I always have the oven warm for a few minutes when they arrive. The cod and chips have hardly any oil remaining and if there is it is always clear and crisp!

Absolutely filthy, deeply stained fabric seats. Every table inside and outside was sticky and dirty. Litter everywhere. Dead rat outside of main entrance near to Cornish pasty concession. Two sandwiches and two drinks from Pret a Manger at £13, absolute rip off. Bloody disgrace.
