The best restaurants serving British food in Vale of White Horse South East

This is a lovely old pub with a probably 1980/90s hotel extension on the side. Friendly reception and waiting staff. Fairly minimalist old school breakfast although my eggs Benedict (oddly with bacon rather than ham) was tasty and well cooked. I didn’t eat in the restaurant so can’t really comment. The public rooms are older worlde characterful but the general feel of the bedrooms is dated (stained dark wood, chipped furniture, not enough power points, poorly sealing windows, particularly a problem if you are facing the A34 trunk road). Attempts have been made to update (nice bed throws and a capsule coffee machine in the rooms) but it can’t hide the reality. The place needs investment to gut it and bring up to date. Perfectly usable but not a “destination” or up to international standards.

Such a beautiful pub so quirky. Amazing staff made us feel so very welcome. The food was outstanding! All freshly made and home cooked. Will 💯 be going back and highly recommended.

Food took a long time to come, had to ask. When it arrived majority of plates were wrong. Had to return two plates and one had to be returned 3 times. Service was awful! Food was tasteless! Yorkshire Pudding looked more like a pancake! Will not be returning. Whole place looks rundown. Tables and bar sticky, carpet looks faded and worn.

my wife and i went for lunch for our wedding anniversary, my wife had Scampi which was cold , the scampi was soft and soggy, she returned it and it was replaced with about 1 degree warmer, my toad in the hole was luke warm and the yorkshire was a soggy mess ,we walked out in disgust and ate elsewhere. with 2 drinks £35.00 wasted.

Tuvimos una estancia agradable y cómoda en el Ferryman y una fabulosa cena en el restaurante con amigos. Recomendaría esto como una parada obligada para Thames Walker entre The Trout en Tadpole Bridge y Oxford. El personal/propietarios eran muy amables y atentos e hicieron estas secciones de nuestro paseo muy especial.

Very very cute little tea room, really enjoyed our visit for tea and scones. Such an authentic British experience. Tried to go back when we were in bibury the other day but found that it had closed permanently? Such a shame, I hope all that ran the place are doing well and it opens back up one day!

Alojarnos en el hotel, que está bastante alejado del centro de Oxford, y después de un largo viaje para que todos lleguen aquí y una preparación intensa para mañana, no teníamos ganas de volver a tomar un taxi para ir al centro de la ciudad. Las críticas en Tripadvisor no fueron geniales, seamos honestos, pero pensamos que lo probaríamos. Muy gratamente sorprendido La comida era buena y se entregó con bastante rapidez (al contrario de las críticas anteriores). Disfruté mi comida. No es el mejor que he comido, pero bien preparado y presentado, y muy sabroso.

Overpriced, soggy batter, not that clean, eddy to park outside, office licence next door. Sadly world not come back.

We were a big group with kids. Pre ordered our food but it still took forever to come out, and then was pretty awful all round. Staff were friendly but had no clue what was going on. Very disappointing
