The best restaurants serving British food in Sonning Common South Oxfordshire South East

We enjoyed another lovely meal at the Red Lion. The interiors, welcome and general atmosphere are warm and inviting. Good Oxfordshire beers, Laithwaites wines and hearty dishes are the main elements of the dining experience. I think since our last visits there are less flourishes, but there remain some lovely surprises, like the feta bonbon with the lamb rump. Leave some room for dessert as the delice is amazing. At the weekend booking is essential.

Turned up for Sunday lunch at 12:30 to be told (after we’d paid for our drinks) that the kitchen is small and we wouldn’t be able to have any food for 2 hours (despite the fact there were hardly more than a handful of people before us). We weren’t the only disappointed customers as two other families left without ordering too. For a place that advertises their food so prominently out front (‘Sunday Lunch 12-4’) they really need to get their act together. Waitress sarcastically chirped “bye!” when we walked out. Useless and rude.

From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed, including our dog who was immediately given a cuddle and a bowl of water by the kind bar lady. Our host, Miles, was very attentive and provided good recommendations on the food and drinks. The three of us shared 2 huge starters, and our mains were well presented, tasty and generous. A very pleasant evening was had by all! Definitely on our list for a return visit.

Damn good spot! Much more of a proper boozer under the new guvnor. Get down there! Lovely pub dog an all. Pablo. Is this one hundred characters yet?

I was looking for a spot to eat while I waited to pick up my daughter from a party. I was lucky enough to stumble across The Greyhound. What a lovely, welcoming team, charming local diners and delicious burger. If you are in the area I would highly recommend this spot for a really great all round experience. Thank you to the team.

I had coffee at the Herb Garden today and developed a nasty cough whilst I was there. A member of staff brought me a glass of water (she obviously heard me coughing) without my asking. I was impressed; she went beyond the call of service. Thankyou! Gold stars all round. Coffee and scone delicious too!
