Harden's survey result
Summary
“Definitely a good choice if you’re in the area” – i.e. just five miles from the dreaming spires of Oxford – this “very comfortable country pub” boasts one of the best gardens in these parts and is particularly appealing come summer. Some feel the menu is “limited” and “relatively expensive”, albeit “generally good with some unusual dishes”, much local sourcing, and a fair selection of veggie-friendly options.
Summary
This characterful pub has a “very pleasant location” in a village five miles from Oxford, and is best enjoyed in summer in the “lovely garden”; with meat from the local Sandy Lane Farm in Tiddington, and game from Oxfordshire estates, the food is “good” by all accounts, and the service “acceptable”.
Summary
This “charming pub with delicious, imaginative food and a welcoming atmosphere” is “tucked away down a narrow road” in a village close to Oxford. “Fantastic garden” for dining in the summer.
Summary
“Always reliable” – this atmospheric old pub in a village near Oxford wins solid ratings for its “excellent gastropub food, charming staff and beautiful garden”. “You know it’s going to be really good” – and “prices are reasonable”, too.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
