Hampers Food & Wine Company in West Oxfordshire

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 friendly, lively little cafe where you can sit and watch the Woodstock world go by and chat uninterrupted. Really lovely young staff - friendly, efficient Saturday waitresses and welcoming owner. Great pastries!

Following a good walk my friends and I love the food at Hampers and its really good value. However, dining in and eating from a paper bag and tea from cardboard cups is unacceptable. We are long past COVID and feel it would be much nicer if they used proper plates and cups. Also, this has to be environmentally unfriendly. The array of food is fabulous however and always difficult to try and decide what to eat.

We popped in for drinks and cake, both served as takeaways even though we were sitting in. If we’d known before we’d ordered and paid, that we’d be eating and drinking out of throwaway containers, we wouldn’t have stayed, especially as the cakes only just managed to be mediocre. As we were leaving, and despite the disappointing cakes, we were seduced by the array of savoury goodies that were on display and took an individual quiche and sausage roll away for our tea later on. We should have learned our lesson from the cakes, as neither of the savouries was great and the pastry on the quiche was like leather. We found this cafe to be completely uninspiring and, with its disposable cups and boxes, it certainly doesn’t encourage you to linger. Despite Tripadvisor’s high ranking of Hampers, I can barely believe it’s one of the best that Woodstock has to offer. We didn’t rate anything about it.

Today we took my Mother & Father out for the first time in 4 months as they are both in wheelchairs and recently moved to a care home locally. We took delivery this morning of their Wheelchair accessible vehicle and decided to bring them both to Woodstock. The staff could not have been more helpful. The food was fantastic. The environment was relaxed. Acoustics perfect for our Father who wears hearing aids. Honestly Hampers today contributed hugely in making today a successful and thoroughly enjoyable day! Thank you to Lucy especially who could not have done more to accommodate us 🙏See you next week !! Many thanks again

Good lunch selection. Very nice salads and a good choice of panini. It’s not very clear when you go in what to do if you want to sit inside to eat as all the boards are headed up as takeaway menus. The seating area is really just there to eat the takeaway - so order what you’d like and then take it through to eat. It might be good to make this clearer for customers especially when it’s busy. Overall though the food and coffee were delicious so well worth a lunch stop.

Back to Woodstock means my fave sausage roll stop. delicious as ever alongside the takeaway samosas and coffee. Staff lovely! cant wait to return

Everything in here looked delicious. We got a couple of big veggie samosas to take away and they were excellent. I'll be popping in here when I return to Woodstock.

This 'deli' has been in Woodstock for a number of years but changes management time to time. It has an array of deli type food and sandwiches and drinks. The coffee was poor and very weak. I did not enjoy the food ; very unappealing display and bordering on scruffy - definitely needs a hand in customer service and presentation - very basic. Not tasty . The sit down cafe has awful decor and needs a complete decoration - it's just a place to eat the take out to be honest. One of the management along the line of this place set a precedent and no one has bothered to change it. It's out of date and unappealing.

Great coffee, friendly atmosphere and staff and quick service, Fresh baked cakes and cookies looked delicious and so tempting and had difficulties resisting despite my New Year diet and only just managed to do so. Good clean toilet . Will definitely return when next in Woodstock

Dreadful, and has been for years. Definitely don’t visit with a baby or child, they don’t provide high chairs and the wait for a simple panini on a quiet day was ludicrously long. The staff couldn’t care less about customer service. Don’t bother! So many other sandwich places in Woodstock.

We had an awful experience at Hampers. The coffee was so weak as to be undrinkable, the hot chocolates also lacking taste. The lemon cake was flavoured with artificial flavouring. We had to wait to be served and then one drink had been forgotten. Don’t bother!

Popped in with my son and his family for a warm sausage roll on a cold afternoon for all 6 of us. The middle aged gentleman working there totally ignored us, didn’t even look at us, we where the only ones in the shop as it was near closing time. We where in the shop for a few minutes then left without any acknowledgment at all. We felt we where an inconvenience, so we left. Such a shame as the food is very good, we won’t be returnin.

We love Hampers! Great food, great coffee and lovely gourmet treats. There can be a short queue at times due to the popularity of the food, but staff handle each and every customer impeccably and efficiently. Well done Hampers, our local go-to!

It’s gone down hill since being brought out, poor service, poor communication, poor management. We were ignored for 15 mins while trying to order a coffee today only to be told they had a back log, looked at the coffee machine 2 tickets up. This used to be a great place for coffee but so slow and service very poor.

The sandwiches are good, but the service is very slow, and coffee is undrinkable. Could maybe benefit from some staff training on how to use the coffee machine.

Back in woodstock means back In hampers!! had a beautiful cheese and pesto panini for my lunch. The place is looking great and you can tell a lot of hare work has gone into restoring it back to a proper deli. Lovely chat with one of the owners and the staff were absolutely lovely as usual.

We had a very delicious sandwich in Hampers. there seemed to be a good selection of snack type food and cakes. I wanted to try their Cornish Pastie but sadly it would have been heated in a micro wave and I hate micro waved pastry. Girl on till had obviously had a smile by pass. But we would definitely go again to enjoy their food. Very popular venue.

Had stopped off in Woodstock to look in a couple of shops, and decided to get a drink/cake in the afternoon. Drinks fine, but I thought the cakes somewhat expensive. Not sure what main menu items are like, but may find out if we return with friends who live in the area.

'Hampers' is a Deli with an attached Dining Room, the word Cafe does not do it justice. The outstanding element of my visit was Charlie Briggs - in equal measure with the outstanding offerings in the Deli & on the menu. First the food - as promised seasonal, freshly cooked 'tarte'/quiche-style offerings alongside salads, great bread, cheeses etc. The food on the plate had a texture & flavour which was simply outstanding - my favourite word to describe this place .... ..... and Charlie. He could not have been more helpful, generous with his time & thoughtfulness. Very much part of the whole experience. I cannot recommend Hampers of Woodstock highly enough. It's an experience on many levels. Victoria

Used to be a daily lunchtime customer during work break. Have returned today following a period of healthy eating… Regretted gong in immediately. Zero atmosphere, no welcome, uninterested staff, no deli, everything bought in and nothing homemade. Opted for my old favourite - ham and cheese baguette - stale, and no flavour. Back to my healthy diet tomorrow! Won’t be returning to Hampers that’s for sure…

We arrived about 30 minutes before the cafe was due to shut, but hardly anything left to choose from. Then the order was delivered incorrectly and an iced coffee that eventually turned up was bad. Also, the famed sausage roll was warmed up for me but really this meant that they put it in the microwave. It ended up very hot at the ends, tepid in the middle and with soggy pastry. Overall, really disappointing

Popped in for breakfast prior to going to Blenheim Palace. Bacon baguettes were lovely and my flat white was perfect. The pies, pasties, sausage rolls and cakes I bought for the family on my way out all went down a treat . Would highly recommend.

Back in Woodstock for work and couldn’t not go into Hampers. I had the most delicious lemon cake and my companion had a carrot cake which he thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely staff and great service.

An alright bakery counter, with a decent selection of sweet and savoury. A tad on the expensive side, but the product is good quality.

Excellent! This delicatessen has had something of a reboot in recent months. After many years of decline, new owners have taken the reigns and are in the process of refocusing the business towards being a first class deli and work is underway to reopen the cafe. It’s is now run by a fully trained chef, and it shows in the quality of food available. So if you haven’t been recently or ever, give Hamper’s a go - you won’t regret it!

un véritable désastre cet endroit pour prendre un café et j'en ai fait l'amère expérience . Un personnel d'une totale incompétence du comment savoir faire . Un expresso comme de l'eau , un flat white sans saveur mais toujours à un prix de ce qu'il y a de meilleur et sans donner d'explications ???. Dommage . Totalement à éviter. Ken

Went for a hot chocolate and as they are still not accepting people inside post covid the choice is take away or a seat on the small number of tables outside. Having been for a walk we opted for a seat. We took a seat and I collected the drinks and placed them on the table which at that point nothing seemed amiss. As my wife leant to the middle of the table to pick up a piece of cake the table tipped over in her direction and the cup tipped over with the lid coming off and spilling all the contents over her legs,shorts and t shirt. Thankfully it wasn’t tea as that would probably have scolded her. As it was the chocolate wasn’t too hot. I went into the shop to say we’d had a calamity and the drink had tipped over when the older male who appeared to be something to do with the management finished my sentence by saying the table was uneven. We got some paper towels but my wife wanted some water to get the stains out of her clothing. The male then proceed to suggest the incident had been her fault as she should have checked the table was level in the first place. He eventually got her some water but it wasn’t offered and neither was any sort of general apology or concern that she hadn’t been burned. He reluctantly gave her another drink. Accidents happen but this is not how I expected it would be dealt with. There are plenty of places to get a drink in Woodstock so we’ll be going there

Decent food (salad and a sandwich) in a gorgeous, central location, however the deli offerings were very limited, with mostly empty shelves and only a few cheese which was a shame. The deli really looks so cute from the outside and this business has all the ingredients to be fantastic: a premium location, indoor and outdoor seating, regular customers streaming past; but it felt lack lustre.

Back in Woodstock which means another visit to Hampers and another sausage roll… or two. Lovely coffee and friendly service. I love this little gem even though my waistline doesn’t.

We were impressed with the delicious sandwiches and cakes, really friendly owners too. We’ll be making this a regular stop

Just visited today (15/4/23). Great welcome and excellent customer service. Great selection of pastries, Sausage Rolls, cakes and baguette fillings. Was very happy to also see they offer speciality coffees including Soya and Oatmilk. Thoroughly recommend a visit when in the area.

I’ve been visiting hampers for years, I heard there was new owners now - however the range of snacks and sandwiches was just as good. The cakes and sausage rolls even better!! Will definitely be re visiting in the summer months!

Passing through Woodstock, I popped into Hampers to grab a sandwich. I was not disappointed in my purchase. Upon speaking to the manager, I understood that they are new to the business. Like all businesses in the current climate, I hope that they continue to...

I have been a loyal customer of Hampers for the past 10 years — from the days when the cafe was in full swing and it was the go to for all things deli (from jars of relishes, mustards and sauces to fresh olives, cheeses...

Hampers Deli is under new ownership - and it appears to be having an identity crisis. Is this still even a deli? The shelves are bare, gone are the days of a wide selection of continental cheeses, meats, and jars of jams, pickles and spices....

I wanted to correct my previous review of Hampers as they have now removed the table at the door and are once more welcoming customers inside.

A lovely place, great food and deserves to be supported. Why they are still acting as if COVID is rife I have no idea. Spoiler Alert, the rest of the country is now back to normal! Could we come inside please? I have rated service...

Whether you will be going to Blenheim palace or just a trip to Woodstock, I would not miss out on this! We stopped off for breakfast on the way through, nice atmosphere sitting outside and just chilling. It so busy, the whole time we sat...

Stopped for a bacon baguette and a coffee, which was tasty and good value for money. Takeaway only at the moment but there are a number of pavement tables to sit and eat at.

Very nice food and coffee! Proper artisan place 🥰 Staff always smiling and happy to be working there. They even remembered my oat mocha after only few visits 😊

My husband and I stopped here when visiting Blenheim palace, to buy a sandwich, we were delighted to find our very fresh baguettes were well filled with quality food, I had the chicken and my husband had the smoked salmon both excellent. Wished we could...

Really nice deli in the middle of Woodstock with a great selection of foods. Hampers came as a recommendation whilst visiting and we couldn’t recommend enough! We opted for the hog roast sausage roll and black pudding sausage rolls which were probably the best we’ve...

Excellent food quality and by far the best place to eat in Woodstock. The staff are super friendly and the service is great. The only downside is that apart from a couple of tables outside there is nowhere to sit

Popped to the outdoor counter on the way past for a quick takeaway sandwich. Freshly made whilst we waited just a few minutes. Very friendly and efficient and wow, what a good sandwich. Full of filling and very fresh. Great value.

Some super food to go and deli products with a few tables outside to eat and enjoy a coffee. Freshly baked bread ,cakes and pastries every day with lots of fine tempting fods.

Had a wander round Blenheim Palace then went for a stroll round Woodstock. Passed Hampers and gazed longingly through the windows at such marvellous bakes, cakes, biscuits, savouries etc. The smell followed, we had to stop and enjoy a nice, strong coffee and outlandish cakes,...

Wow. Christophe has excelled again with his delicious baking. Picked up a Portuguese tart fresh out of the oven this morning, to go with my coffee. His lovely wife (Debbie) told me they’re his new recipe he’s perfected/ready to release to Woodstock. Sooo good and...

Wonderful food and coffee very tasty. Would definitely recommend and the service was very good with lots of choice of food and drinks. If you like your ice coffee with syrups visit here

We popped in here just for a takeaway salad and sandwich which were both very good and reasonably priced. High Covid precautions are being followed which meant we had to order from outside, with a little bit of organisation it should have been possible to...

A simply great experience we stopped to have a walk around Woodstock and found this delightful cafe & deli the service was great with friendly warm staff the coffee was amazing and well where do I start with the Banana & chocolate chip loaf. Please...

Whilst an extremely tiny shop their lunch time offerings especially sandwich's are probably some of the best I've had in ages. Utterly delicious and generous fillings. Keep up the good work. Lots of cakes etc too yum

We ordered a picnic hamper for our trip to Blenheim Palace. One word AMAZING, Thank you Debbie for organising at short notice. Plenty of food for 2, tasty sandwiches and cakes with nice touches such as fresh strawberries. We shall be ordering again for our...

Love this place, and especially welcoming during lockdown, when it's been a real treat to end a walk around Blenheim with a take out coffee and cinnamon bun. As an extremely fussy latte lover, their coffee is top notch, the best in the whole of...

Great selection of pastries (I chose the pain au raisin) to go with my soya latte. We all have different tastes, but I like nice quality beans. I have drunk a lot of coffee in a lot of Countries and would say the strength and...

Great coffee and much more! I am a local who comes here at least once a week for a soya latte with a friend after a long walk in Blenheim. I love the coffee and the service is great. There is also a vast selection...

Big queue looks promising, but disappointing coffee and, with snack, was expensive especially for a takeaway.

Worst coffee in Oxfordshire. Asked for a flat white and got what tastes like a coffee you would expect from a car garage. Disappointing, no froth and tasteless coffee. In such a prime location also #tourist trap

We spent a couple of hours in Blenheim walking around the “Standing with Giants” display for armistice day. Fantastically moving display and highly recommended. After that we were hungry, but with lockdown all the restaurants were shut. However Hampers were doing a great trade with...

Woodstock; a little bit twee, a little bit over-touristy and yesterday, a little bit damp. But fear not. Because you can get an excellent cup of coffee and a great cinnamon roll and wander round the corner to sit on a bench in Woodstock Square (at least 2m apart from any other bench). And you can pretend it’s all over. Great staff, great choice, great find. Thanks Hampers.

We were staying at a hotel across the street and noticed this place across the road. Decided to get a couple of pastries to take away - the goats cheese and red pepper roll and a spanakopita. Both were great but the spanakopita was amazing. We stopped by the next day before we left to get another one for lunch on the road. They also do a range of cakes, sandwiches and coffee. If we're ever back in Woodstock we'll definitely stop for lunch again.

A smashing breakfast/sandwicherie/deli. Cannot recommend their sandwiches enough. We would have eaten there twice daily for three days if we hadn’t felt ashamed...

Excellent sandwiches, etc. With plenty of filling, great value for money with cheerful service. Would love to come here again when in the area.

Excellent service and delicious food. The choice of salads exceptional. Lovely lady serving. Coffee fabulous. The cakes ....well! Go and eat!

good menu, accommodating staff, food was tasty. We were happy to have stumbled across it for lunch on Sunday.

Visited here to get some picnic food before our day at Blenheim palace. I visited with a few friends and we all got a few bits. Service was great with everyone ordering at the door and paying by card due to social distancing. I’m a vegan myself and they had a great selection of cakes for vegans. I got the falafel sourdough sandwich and a salted caramel brownie which were both delicious. Would highly recommend if you are in the area.

Popped in for Sunday brunch, very busy café, good swift service, Eggs Benedict lovely with perfect poached eggs. Coffee good also. Recommended.

I have just had a most delicious Welsh rabbit made with very tasty cheese. The staff are very friendly and efficient. Highly recommend this place

Small, extremely popular little coffee shop. Thoroughly pleasant staff, lovely coffee and the best Lemon Cake ever!

Visited hampers twice during our stay. Very friendly staff , great coffee and a good selection of home made cakes. Delicious, would highly recommend

Lovely varied menu of deli salads, sandwiches, cakes & ice creams. An ideal selection for a lunchtime break. The baps were amazing & I would highly recommend this cafe. This is the second time we've been here & will definitely come again

Quaint and warm restaurant! Lovely food.. great service. Visited the town to see Blienham Christmas Lights.. little busy but you get entertained right away. Mostly HomeMade food on their menu. Will definitely reccomend this place!

Always try and visit here for lunch when visiting my sister in Oxfordshire. The food is delicious. Can highly recommend the Spanakopita-spinach and feta pie-with a side of 2 of their v imaginative salads. Lovely place and friendly staff.

Found this place by chance when looking for a place to eat lunch in Woodstock- so pleased we did! The food was excellent and the staff very friendly. The owner / chef even took the time to come and see if everything was alright. We tried the cheese and ham mac and Parma ham sandwich, and then a very nice apricot tart . and tiffin.tart.So many delicious things to choose from - we will definitely visit again when in the area.

Visited on a very wet afternoon and had to wait for 15mins because it was full of people. No problem as we had been here a couple of years ago. At the time we were unaware it had changed hands. I can honestly say the food we had was excellent. Very well seasoned and with flavour in abundance. It’s true that the prices are a touch on the high side for the type of dining but the quality of the food justifies it. Sure, at full stretch, service can be a bit slow but not to any great extent. I would happily return.

Friendly, helpful staff and we all had delicious food. Good range of food and cake and the coffee very good

Dropped in to get a takeaway coffee whilst at work. Such friendly people running this establishment. Served very efficiently with great coffee, in totally recyclable cups accompanied by a terrific cake chosen from a wonderfully varied selection. Fabulous guys. Don't change what you do :)

We'd been to Blenheim Palace & after we went into Woodstock to explore. Hampers being on the main road was an obvious choice for lunch. It was busy but we managed to find anothers the table. This place serves there most delicious sandwiches, baps & baguettes all served with fresh crispy salads. A great place for lunch.

Stopped off in Woodstock to grab a bite of lunch. Hadn’t been to Hampers for a couple of years since I changed jobs. Thankfully it’s as good as ever.

A delicious selection of homemade quiche, salads & cakes. Beautiful decor, warm & friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

Also one of the few places open after 10 for Sunday breakfast. Everything was yummy. The avo toast. The quiche. All quite good with lovely service.

Visited today there was a lovely selection of salads, sausage rolls and scotch eggs and amazing tasting quiches to choose from. Either take away or eat in. Tasted great, will definitely be returning for more !

As a fairly regular visitor to Hampers, I was very disappointed to discover a live fly inside the salad box my colleague bought for me from Hampers today. Even more disappointing was the reaction of the manager, who only offered a replacement salad box, next time I visit. This was not really sufficient recompense for the rather revolting discovery, nor the inconvenience of being left without any lunch, as the salad was obviously inedible.

My wife and I visited on a busy Monday morning for a coffee. We sat outside and were promptly served with Americano coffee. The cafe offers a lovely selection of cakes and the adjoining delicatessen offers a great selection of products to take away . When in Woodstock this is a must visit to refresh and refuel. Highly recommended.

Great service with a smile. Burger gorgeous and jacket potato with tuna was HUGE. Very reasonably priced compared to the sandwiches available in the Tourist Info. cafe next door.

On our way back home from the Midlands we stopped in Woodstock. Attracted by the appearence on the outside we chose this venue. We were not disappointed. Excellent freshly made salads with beetroot, broccolli, tomato, coupled with a moist and cheesy vegetable quiche. My partner had the spanakopita which was a good sized portion. We bought a seeded sourdough loaf to take home. Love this place.

Stopped for lunch after visiting Blenheim Palace & so glad we did. We both chose quiche & salad which was absolutely delicious. In fact, so delicious we bought goodies to take home. All the staff were friendly & helpful. I wish we lived nearer!

Blackboard in shop suggested panini with ham, cheese and from memory two other ingredients cost £4. We ordered panini with cheese and ham. Really excellent food, thanks. Time to pay. Cost £7.50 each. We expected to pay around £4. The difference? “Eating in service charge and VAT”. OK, VAT an extra £0.80, but the rest?

Little deli offering breakfast, lunch and food and drinks to go. Great service and delicious food, we had eggs benedict, eggs royale, and scrambled eggs and salmon, all were cooked to perfection and served with a smile. Will definitely return for more !

I come to Hampers only on some mornings for the sausage sandwich that has a choice of breads. Really ample amounts of sausages and lovely toasted bread (Sourdough is what I prefer). The price is correct I think for what you receive. Young lady serving always is pleasant.

So glad we chose Hampers for our lunch. Really lovely smooth tasting cappuccino. Fresh baguettes with a plentiful filling. Pleasant friendly staff. Value for money.

Perfectly reasonable lunch that wasn't too expensive but was pretty tasty. Did think about having a cake to follow but wasn't really inspired, so maybe something for them to think about improving the wow factor of.

We use Hampers Woodstock on a regular basis because we work in Woodstock and its always lovely food, today we went in again and the food was appalling, we asked for Panini's and got baguettes, with very little filling I believe this is because Hampers is under new ownership, BAD MISTAKE you will loose a lot of regular trade

Stopped in here for a light lunch and we weren’t disappointed. Great choice on the menu. Food was delicious - I ate the rare beef and Stilton roll which was excellent. Black pudding scotch egg was also very yummy!

This was our first visit and we loved the cozy ambiance and chilled music. The waiter was lovely and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

The egg on the Scottish egg was hard boiled and it was served COLD. Staff refused to warm them up because of the hard boiled egg?! Unhelpful staff at best....

I used to visit hampers about twice a week till the change of owners it’s just not the same as before! The prices have gone up and the quality of the food has gone down. I don’t think the salad is washed at all anymore now, well that’s what I get from the taste of it! They also bake the veggie and none veggie toasties/panini’s on the same grill.

Very tasty fresh food, handily placed opposite the Marlborough Arms. Excellent choice of takeaway food and drink too.

Unhelpful staff, slow service and poor food. This may seem a little harsh but I was so disappointed. It’s such a shame as it used to be a nice place to go.

Food was good, waitress had not been trained on what was in the various meals offered. Lots of stuff sold out at noon, but not crossed off chalk board. Miserable looking staff in deli, had to wait 10 minutes to get any attention despite having 4 staff behind counter. Won't rush back!
