The best restaurants serving Default food in Cherwell South East

Great for our family get together

We went to Itsu in Bicester village and it was delicious food. We were served by Robbie Thomas who was great and provided the best service. He was kind and helpful and made the experience so lovely. All the other staff there were also very nice and polite. Thank you Robbie and the Itsu staff!

Waited an hour and 50 mins for food after being told an hour, delivery driver didn’t give us change and no prawn crackers despite it being nearly £30.

AVOID AT ALL COST!!! We have 5 people in our household all food poisoned. If you are going to order anyway please for your own sake don’t get the chicken curry or chicken chowmein, will be taking my business elsewhere,

Exactly what to expect and need from a local independent guest house in this price range. Everywhere was clean and tidy. No issues with internet/WiHi. The host was polite and very helpful. The English breakfast was great and well worth the £12.50. Part of the building is quite old, so the floors do squeak a bit, if this bothers you go to a Premier Bin with no character! We stayed for 3 nights on a business trip and it was perfect.

Such lovely food and great staff! Definitely worth visiting x

February 2023. Had the Prawn Chow Mein and Pancake Rolls. The Chow Mein tasted fine but the Pancake Rolls tasted and smelt a little different from the times I've had before. After 2 hours, I was sick and fell ill to it. Unfortunate as I normally buy from here but because of this, I don't think I will again. :( Updating as I'm seeing you were hit with a low hygeine score recently. This food poisoning took me 2 weeks to recover from. You should have taken my review as a warning sign because this was the worst food poisoning I had to deal with.

Mega bit of scran. Me and the Mrs can't move after that lot. Anyone who wants something different with plenty of flavour and loads of choice on the menu. Get on and order something. BOOM 💥

AVOID!!! Went some years ago and it was fantastic but to say it’s gone downhill Is an understatement! We went this evening for valentines dinner and it was crap! It’s being run by kids who are more interested in chatting with mates than serving paying customers. A few of our issues: Food was bland and underwhelming. For starter I had “Gambas pil pil” a lovely dish that I am familiar with. Except instead of gorgeous succulent prawns cooked in olive oil with garlic and chilli - I was served prawns with chunks of chorizo in a tomato passata sauce. No mention of the chorizo on the menu btw so good job I’m not pescatarian! Hubs had the hummus which was tasteless, but luckily we were both starving so we continued. Mains were just as disappointing. Over cooked steak and strange garlic butter accompaniment. For dessert, as I’d ordered off the v-day menu I had a desert included which was a few tiny strawberries with chocolate drizzled across the top - described on the menu as chocolate dipped strawberries with jersey cream… no cream in sight. In addition, at 7.30 on a Friday evening they had ‘miraculously’ ran out of wine glasses so my Merlot was served in a champagne flute. Where all the wine glasses had miraculously gone is a total mystery considering the place was over half empty! We waited over 30 mins for our mains to be cleared and then had to ask to see the desert menu… there appeared to be 4 deserts to chose from but the bread and butter pudding was listed twice, and we were told they’d ran out… leaving very little choice. The main guy who greeted us and served us a little was always in a hurry to get away, and when we left the pub after paying a shocking £110, he was sprawled out on the floor on his phone and barely even looked up… no goodbye, thank you for coming. Oh and to top it all off, the ladies loos reek of stale fags. Safe to say we won’t be returning and if you’re reading this I advise you avoid the place too!

Fantastic Sunday Lunch. Been a few times now and cannot fault them. Food great, service great xx waitresses a credit to the team. Cannot recommend enough.

It's great for a location to explore the area. It is an old pub, so the rooms reflect this. Service, food, drink all excellent.

Exactly what I enjoy in a pub meal good well prepared food reasonably priced and a convivial atmosphere. If I find myself back in the area I'd go again

My wife and I, recently celebrated our daughter’s 18th birthday at The Cherwell Pub, with various family members and friends. We cannot express enough how grateful we are to Landlord Joe, also - Lillie, and Sami for making the evening so very special! From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for us. The atmosphere was inviting, and our daughter, family and friends had an amazing time. Joe, Lillie, and Sami were incredibly attentive, making sure that nothing was too much trouble. Their warmth and dedication truly set the tone for a memorable evening. We highly recommend The Cherwell Pub not just for a couple of drinks, but also as a fantastic venue for celebrations. Thank you all so much for the unforgettable night! Best wishes Chris, Bow and Naming

We spent a couple of days in the area and have been customers of Bicester Village for a long time but now live further away. The Farmshop is consistently good food and the ambiance is 'rustic'. The service is friendly and professional. I have to commend Farmshop for the decision to not allow dogs in to the restaurant. Having had a coffee in Pret earlier and seen a dog poop on the premises and the staff having to clean it up this is really too much to bring dogs in to an eating establishment especially a restaurant. It is basically unhygienic. Thank you. Farmshop has a menu that will appeal to all and the prices are competitive.

Called in for lunch as we would normally do after walking the dogs around Bloxham and found we now have to have a two course meal at £16 instead of our normal sandwich. Sandwiches are what are included in the 2 course lunch so somewhat baffled to find out that you can’t have just a sandwich! Whoever dreamed up this idea will find the lunch numbers will go down. You cannot fault the food and hospitality there but we won’t be going there again for lunch.
