The best restaurants serving British food in Abingdon Abbey and Barton Vale of White Horse South East

Was really my worst ever baguette was stale and hard to chew on . The sausage wasn’t fresh and cut in slices hardly any bacon and egg was like scrambled. 0 stars

Unpleasant member of staff (or the owner?) takes the joy out of shopping here. Gives you the impression you the customer are a bit of a nuisance. Such a shame as it’s otherwise a good shop. I wish I’d just ordered my item online. Won’t bother trying them again next time.

We had a stop in Abingdon on our way to Oxford. A leg stretch and looking for a place to have just a light lunch and a drink. We stumbled upon the museum and in the course of checking out the Crossley Pumping Engine in the basement decided to have luch there. The cafe is only open till 2pm but with half an our to spare we managed to get an order in for 2 toastie cheese and ham sandwiches. Hardly a particularly exciting lunch you may think, but there are toasties and there are toasties. Ours were excellent and just hit the spot after a pleasant visit to the museum above. Sometimes you just stumble on these places and have to pass them on to thers. If you are a veggie get there earlier than 1.30 as apprently the veggie versions take a bit longer to prepare.

We visited the pub last week & decided to have a meal. We didn't realise until we went to pay our bill that it was buy one burger get on free on Thursdays. The food was lovely, fresh & hot great value for money. There was a large group in at the same time but we didn't wait too long for our meals. The staff were lovely & very efficient. We will definitely be returning.

This should have been super duper as the area in the town is sited in a pretty cobbled market square in the old historic town centre. The sun was out and we walked into the cafe with only compliments about the range of pastries and food on display. We ordered two ciabatta with feta and salad filling ( I hadn’t got my specs on so couldn’t read the £) our friends had a vegan roll and a sausage twist. I asked for a “pot” of decaf tea. The problem arose when I asked for another pot of hot water….. the waitress brought me a cup half filled with hot water ?! I thought she had misheard my request ….. as a bug flew straight into it i returned it and asked for a replacement, but a “pot” with a lid on it ( to keep stray bugs out and the heat in). They said they could only give me a cup of water ?…. I thought they might not have any more tea pots spare. They said no I wasn’t allowed another tea pot ! I was only allowed a cup and if I wanted, as suggested a disposable cup with a lid I would be charged 20p extra. The fact that the sandwich ( tasty but by no means huge- was £10) and the bill arrived at £26 you would have thought a pot of hot water wasn’t too much to ask for. Anyhow we won’t return there as the manner by which it was handled ( infront of other patrons was unprofessional) I felt sad for the waitress who looked embarrassed. I happen to think a good service of a pot of tea should be offered with extra hot water I like to take my tea on a certain way - maybe she thought I was going to run away with her pot?! Sad as we’re staying in Abingdon but won’t patronise this cafe again.

THE BEST FISH AND CHIPS!!! Beautifully light and crispy batter with delectable chips, crunchy on the outside yet perfectly fluffy in the middle. What do they fry these in? Unbelievably flavourful! Everything well seasoned too. My friend had the vegan burger - even better than expected, beautifully colourful, freshly curried, zesty and delicious. Fast and friendly service - hint: definitely book if it’s a sunny day, it gets busy. Emilia, Michelle and Amy did an amazing job. Happy International Women’s Day!

I like the place but quite disappointed because most items on the menu were not available.

There for a wake. Very pleasant surroundings and places to sit and chat.

Amazing little Riverside pub. Overlooks a very nice part of the Thames, and I believe the pub is hundreds of years old, so it adds to the aesthetic. Great place!
