The best restaurants serving British food in South Oxfordshire South East

Exceptionally good food, way above even normal gastropub food. Definitely worth a detour. Charming service too.

The best eggs Benedict I can remember having for a very long time. Plus delicious flat white coffee. This is my local cafe and I’ve been supporting it since it was also the deli (now next door and still the most fantastic deli). So I am a fan and yet, yesterday’s eggs Benedict were ‘on another level’ and moved me to write this. Better than any I’ve had in fancy hotels or London bistros. PS there were two of them… I scoffed one before thinking to take a photo!

A bit rough round the edges but clean and friendly, with the added bonus of a bath as well as a shower, very welcome after a long day's hike. We had breakfast included at the pub. Which was well presented and delicious. All in all great value for money.

Absolutely phenomenal service from everyone at the Leathern Bottle today when I had to pull into their car park when I had a problem on my vehicle. Highly recommended as a stop from the M40, which I will be doing again very soon when I'm not working. Thanks all

Great pub food at expected prices. Definitely recommend their homemade pies - superb. Plenty of parking and good selection of local ales & bitters.

Didn’t book a table so would next time or tho we waited . was definitely worth the wait only 40 minutes staff were all amazing nothing was to much trouble . and the food was so tasty service was fast really enjoyed the experience exceptional thank u very much . We ordered a roast beef dinner and cheeseburger highly recommended.

It was really quick and delicious

Does nice nibbles in summer pizzas. Friendly staff nice little garden nice Friendly locals

This is one of the best restaurants in area. The food is absolutely fantastic, and plenty of it. Such high quality and everything is cooked to perfection. The staff are so friendly and attentive. Incredibly polite and make you feel welcome. This is a must visit and can’t wait to go back.

A great experience. Taste to rock your boots. The langoustine and Pork belly are amazing. The scollops are best I have ever tasted ( And I love scollops). The lamb with haggis was great and the chocolate fondant was a burst of brilliant taste with Guinness ice cream. Cooking to a Michelin style standard with a warm friendly service. Brilliant well done to chefs and staff

Nice place for an evening meal, expect to pay £100 for two courses with a glass of wine for two people. Food is of a good standard but I've had better for the money. Also part of my lamb rump was raw so I had to send it back, hence the 3 stars. I didn't like being seated in the front entrance (no sense of arrival and didn't want to be sat where people enter the restaurant) so I asked to be moved to within the restaurant which was better. I'm not sure I would visit again, but we did have a nice evening. service was good.

Poor service and poor food. Has gone downhill to what we’ve had before. Menu choice was very poor and had to choose the only dish I liked. The fried Brie wedges to start had no Brie in them as they had been over fried. Main course was cold and £15 for a cheese board, which only had 3 pieces of small cheese on and a few Jacob’s crackers was over priced. The service was poor and we were the only ones eating there. This used to be a great pub for food but feel it is now just overpriced and has an easy boring menu choice.

Nice menu with good choice and a range of real ales including George Best bitter. The restauranrt is roomy but we found it rather noisy as it was full. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Recientemente celebramos una celebración familiar, en el Hombro de Mutton, por los cumpleaños 16 y 18 de mis nietos. La comida (el almuerzo del domingo) era excelente, Nuestros vegetarianos estaban bien atendidos, y el personal era amable, alegre y acogedor e hizo todo lo posible para que el día fuera un éxito. Teníamos el conservatorio para nosotros, lo que era una ventaja. Sé que estuvo muy ocupado ese día, pero no puedo agradecer lo suficiente a todo el personal por su arduo trabajo. Tuvimos una celebración maravillosa.

Amazing home cooked Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Good sized portions, delicious crispy and fluffy roast potatoes, fresh Yorkshire pudding, side of cauliflower cheese, lashing of gravy and piping hot. Very quick and friendly service. Cosy interior. Everything you want for a quality Sunday lunch. Highly recommend.
