In summer 2023, citing the need to ‘slow down’, TV chef Antony Worrall Thompson bowed out from his Oxfordshire gastropub after nearly two decades at the helm (the latter part of which was overshadowed by controversies relating to its anti-vaxxer stance, and, more recently, a worrying hygiene rating). While David Brown, who heads up Marlow’s Royal Oak has stepped into AWT’s shoes (the latter will remain on hand as a consultant), head chef Jamie Webber remains from the previous line-up, which should ensure continuity when it comes to the popular venue’s “generous” and “well-cooked” pub grub.

Antony Worral Thompson’s spacious and quirky country spread is, for fans, “a go-to choice for any special occasion”“the pub and garden are beautiful, the service professional and discrete, and most often AWT himself is a visible presence ensuring the highest standards”. The globally inspired menu features “high-quality ingredients, well combined and perfectly cooked”. Top Tip – “good steaks – try the wagyu”.

Antony & Jay Worral Thompson’s pleasingly quirky restaurant-with-rooms makes an “excellent place for lunch”, or stop for dinner and linger for one of the regular gigs. Their “top-quality burgers” and steaks are joined by fancier seasonal fare with an accent on local producers.
