The Queens Head in South Oxfordshire

We had a lovely family lunch on Sunday 15 December. First visit to the Bistro and we would definitely like to return. The vegetarian roast was delicious - and the children’s menu went down well too. All food served nice and hot and with friendly service. Thank you for a lovely lunch!

Consistently good. Freshly cooked light meals, decent coffee and friendly service. Bike parking in the garden too. A great alternative to Riverside nearby

We decided on Sunday morning to try the Red Lion for lunch, and booked a table for 1330. We arrived and were met by efficient staff who were expecting us and offered us a choice of table. Drinks were ordered from a knowledgeable waiter and arrived quickly, mine being a very well-kept pint from tge local Amwell Springs brewery. We both chose beef from an extremely well thought-out menu which again arrived after only a short wait. The meat was beautifully cooked and presented on a large plate with very well cooked greens, carrots and a freshly-made Yorkshire puddings. Sides of cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes were excellent, probably the best roasties I've had, and the horseradish was similarly delicious. We both cleared our plates and the side dishes. Utterly gorgeous, go and see for yourself.

Been a few times since it changed hands and unfortunately the food quality has dropped. The fish is consistently rubbery and overcooked. It’s never skinless when we ask for it. Last week we ordered two large cod and the size difference between the two was ridiculous, and the chips were virtually a bag of leftover crispy bits - some people might like that, but we like some actual potato in our chips. Real disappointing.

7/11/2024. Stayed in the car park in our motorhome. We were made very welcome by the friendly staff and locals. Nice food and a few beers in the evening and a nice breakfast before we left. Very fairly priced. A very nice experience, thank you! See you again no doubt
