The best restaurants serving British food in Woodstock and Bladon West Oxfordshire South East

Pre booked Christmas menu. If you think about the christmas food you may have eaten in school, will be the type of food we paid good money to eat. The one slice of turkey, cut so thin, with no flavour was really disspointing. Vegetables were fine and as per the normal, hard roast potatoes and very little gravy. Those who had the beef, were very impressed and it tasted like proper meat, with texture !! Puddings wwere so small, they would have been ok for very small children. Certainly not rememberable in a good way. We were not offered hot drinks at the end, so we didnt ask.

It is a fantastic little pub that is owned and run by the community. Very friendly and welcoming. We order 2 drinks from the bar and ask for some snacks. They were happy to oblige as the chef had finished in the kitchen. The soup came with bread and was so think and creamy it was delicious and filled a gap. My wife had a fishfinger sandwich that was bursting at the seems it also came with salad and tortilla chips. We sat by the fire, which was roaring, and the barmaid kept putting another log on to keep it going.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly, very customer focused, great food, shortbread with coffee…just a perfect venue for any time of the day. Will definitely be back and thoroughly recommend to everyone.

Unwelcoming from the staff. Afternoon tea was limited to one very small pot of tea person with only 4 choices of tea. Egg mayo and salmon in tiny rolls and pureed! One delicious coronation chicken finger sandwich but then an unappetising cucumber and mint one. The rolls were tiny. Scones were nice. Cakes also tiny. People who wanted to take cakes home were provided with boxes meant for wraps. Not value for money and not the pleasant experience we had two years ago.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Delicious panini afresh made to order. It’s quite basic as a cafe, you wouldn’t want to stay for ages, but it’s perfectly nice for a quick lunch. Also delicious pastries & cakes. Eat in or takeaway. Good value.

a new menu and some new staff have not improved this cafe, but made it worse. The staff were not very friendly, the tea was weak and the cooked breakfast was stone cold. Quite expensive for a poor offering.

Outstanding meal- everything was utterly delicious. We had the crab and raviolo to start and the pork and salmon dishes for main- I would order all again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them all! Service was also unobtrusive but attentive - a perfect balance. My only slight let down was the ‘elevator’ background music, which dimmed the atmosphere somewhat. I am to return however as the food was sublime and would like to try the other dishes.

We had intended going here for a meal during our stay, but after visiting for drink decided it wasn’t a good choice. The menu was extremely limited as they were running down stock as they were shortly closing down as the property had been sold. The property was tired and mismatched and seemed to be frequented by local drinkers. The location near the river could have been a great place and hopefully the new owners have capitalized on this. We would certainly look in again if we were visiting the area just to see how it had changed. There is stiff competition in the area with other fine eateries and pubs

Very poor, fish uncooked table staff not interested chips like yesterdays warmed up can how earth can anyone mess up fish n chips

Very happy with our group lunch. Felt our booking for 23 people for lunch went very smoothly despite me making some last minute changes. Staff were friendly and attentive and the food was good, I especially enjoyed the bream. Our group had exclusive use of the Atrium. I will be happy to book groups here again.
