The best restaurants serving British food in Cherwell South East

We were delighted to revisit this lovely village pub under new management! Friendly service, diverse menu and delicious food! Will be going again soon

Good and quick service food hot and good.

Friday 18/10/24. Came in for a drink with a colleague and Andrew the duty manager had amazing service. Top lad.

Excellent food for amazing value. £6 for a full English! Cappuccinos were great and the bacon bap was decent. I recommend!

We returned to this pub as we were visiting Bicester Village, we had been to the pub the year before and even then the customer service was not great. However, we went back as there was a big group of us so we could sit outside altogether. Drinks were ordered fine, however when it came to ordering the food we went inside again to order & there is one older gentleman bar tender who proceeded to ignore us and take everyone else’s order, 25 minutes until we had enough and stated ‘is anyone going to serve us’ it was stated abruptly as we were very frustrated but was not aggressive at all, this bartender then turned around and shouted at us that we were being threatening and for us to leave. We stated happily and left. Can’t believe how this man ignored us and then turned horrible after we were frustrated. We will never return!!!

All you expect from Wetherspoons. Went for a lunch and, fora change, decided to try a salad. It was very good. An drink was included in the very reasonable price. Finished off with fresh fruit ad ice cream. Also, stayed to have a coffee and it was nice to be able to get refills for no extra charge. Staff were very busy but were friendly and helpful. I liked the place.

Most of us know that post pandemic many country pubs are suffering due the decline in customers and the current cost of living and every rising water and energy bills. The Plough inn is no exception and times have been hard. Even so, the landlady and her partner have worked tirelessly to try and get back on track. A new Cooker has been installed at a considerable cost and the eating lounge has has a lovely refurb. I went for a Sunday dinner with my partner and the meal was very tasty and my beef was tender and cooked to a perfection. My partner ordered roast chicken which went down really well. For deserts we were presented with a choice of typical English Sunday deserts, served with fresh cream or custard. We also ordered a bottle of red that was complementary with both meats and deserts. " The landlady has just started "Breakfasts at the Plough" every Saturday from 08.00am -11.00 am. Great breakfasts and great prices, served with fresh coffee, teas and fruit juices. The Plough also has live music nights, bingo, and pub quizzes. Plan some tie to drop in and I feel sure you will not be disappointed.

Jamie Oliver's Fabulous Feasts great Italian cuisine service good prices moderate staff friendly nice location 


Absolutely incredible night with the Secret Supper Society for my birthday. Jules has been wonderful to deal with right from my first enquiry. The food was absolutely incredible. Clean plates all round. Amazing flavours with good size portions. Jules and her team were the perfect balance of attentive whilst leaving us alone to enjoy the meal in the beautiful dining room. We'll definitely be back!

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.
