The best restaurants serving British food in South Oxfordshire South East

Lovely little pub restaurant. Food was fantastic with great service. Would highly recommend.

Had lunch with Friends, food was excellent, and staff were friendly I had smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches, there was ample smoked salmon which makes a lovely change from other similar sandwiches I've brought from other places . Would go again

We went to watch a band at Bunkfest. Clean well maintained pub and garden. Polite and fast service. We didn't order food, but menu looked good and well priced.

Excellent breakfast this morning, staff were very responsive to a couple of requests we made. Delicious food, very clean, lovely atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend!

I booked online and wanted 1.30 or 2.00m, but the earliest was 2.45pm. When we arrived the place was pretty empty. We could have just turned up. Our party consisted of 4 adults and one child who had just turned 3 years. We were at the Mole Inn to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. We ordered a white wine, 2 orange and lemonades, an apple juice, tonic water, with ice and lemon. No lemon provided and the party who arrived after us were served first even though we had a young child waiting. We ordered 2 belly pork roasts and 2 chicken roasts. Our child wouldn’t eat a full meal so we ordered him a Yorkshire pudding. (£4) All the Yorkshire were dry like cardboard and the potatoes were rather hard. Overall the meals lacked flavour. Some sage and onion stuffing may have given the chicken mole flavour. didn’t appear As we hadn’t been given enough gravy, we ordered more. Two quite small jugs arrived. (£2 each) even though they didn’t give us enough in the first place. I made a coffee and walnut birthday cake. It was on a cake board with candles and matches. They wanted £15 for what they call cakeage!!! This is to prepare the cake!!!! 🤨 We were all shocked and took the cake home. We ordered desserts. Mine was a ginger sponge with sauce. My son-in-law ordered a chocolate fondant and had the choice of crème anglaise and ice cream. I asked if I could have crème anglaise with my ginger pudding. I was told no, as they were all measured out, I then asked for cream, I was told No, the pudding comes only with ice cream and it goes very well with the sponge. 😏 The place lacked any kind of ambience. The bill was just under £177, that included a service charge that was around £17. We won’t be going back there. We think they’ve got carried away in thinking they are high end when really they are pretty big standard. ice cream.

Excellent carvery lunch, very generous sized portions.

What an exceptional restaurant. It was our first visit on a special occasion and the greeting at the door was warm and friendly. The co owner Ryan came to our table and with a real sense of warm professionalism talked us through the food options. Although many around us were choosing the ‘taster menu’, we decided on a la carte. The restaurant was intimate but spacious, with only 20 covers in an area that would easily of managed 40. The food was sublime, well designed and created and a pleasure to eat. To summarise a magnificent restaurant and a truly memorable evening.

Having driven past for 20 years I finally took heed of the positive reviews and visited for a quick business lunch. We will not return. Nice building, pleasant layout. Cold reception from a disinterested young man in tracksuit at the bar, hardly bursting at the seems with the good and great of Henley, this was a very down market experience. Pie and mash with gravy out of a tin did nothing to improve the atmosphere.

Has a lovely Sunday lunch, beautifully cooked beef and lovely service and atmosphere absolutely worth a visit 👏

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.

A lovely dog friendly pub with friendly staff and great food! A little off the beaten track but well worth the journey. The open fire and historic atmosphere definitely made us feel cozy in bad weather

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.

We decided on Sunday morning to try the Red Lion for lunch, and booked a table for 1330. We arrived and were met by efficient staff who were expecting us and offered us a choice of table. Drinks were ordered from a knowledgeable waiter and arrived quickly, mine being a very well-kept pint from tge local Amwell Springs brewery. We both chose beef from an extremely well thought-out menu which again arrived after only a short wait. The meat was beautifully cooked and presented on a large plate with very well cooked greens, carrots and a freshly-made Yorkshire puddings. Sides of cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes were excellent, probably the best roasties I've had, and the horseradish was similarly delicious. We both cleared our plates and the side dishes. Utterly gorgeous, go and see for yourself.

Mark is a 10/10 barman. He deserves a pay rise. Love the pub and love him. Old school pub with some old school vibes. Big up the brakspear pub crawl

Precioso restaurante. Buen ambiente, personal servicial, cortés y excelente comida. Habría comido cualquier cosa del menú. El cerdo del vientre estaba delicioso, complementado con camotes, puré de col roja (inusual pero perfecto con el cerdo) y una deliciosa ensalada de col, perfectamente equilibrada. Los postres también fueron excelentes, gracias que volveremos a probar el almuerzo del domingo
