The best restaurants in Kirtlington Cherwell South East

Had a meal from them under the new ownership. Food is incredibly flavourful, and premises in which they cook are very clean and well kept.

Really good pub, great food, worth a visit!

Jack and Toby were great hosts and very accommodating to us. They were very attentive. Food was perfect too. Thank you for the perfect 🫶

Went for Saturday breakfast. Loved everything about it. Great menu, great quality, brilliant service, lovely atmosphere. We’ll be back.

Lovely place to stop for breakfast when travelling around the country. Good parking. Great ambiance and plenty of staff. The service is good and food is great, we can recommend the scrambed eggs and porridge.

The Dashwood Hotel and those who run it are a disaster - and it could be so good. Firstly, communication was a disaster when we had to contact them, well in advance of our stay, due to unforeseen circumstances. We were unable to go and knowing that they could have helped by re-opening the booking and finding replacement as the Blenheim Palace Game fair was on that weekend! We found someone to take our place last minute. Remote check in a nightmare and no ph no for contact! Room: no rail in wardrobe and only 2 tea bags and 2 milk pods for a 3 night stay! Lots of little niggley things when it could have been so nice. Unwelcoming

really great atmosphere good old-fashioned pub.

It was amazing. Great for a christmas party.

Lovely food, excellent service and a great pub atmosphere, what more could you want.

Excellent location for Blenheim. Friendly welcome couldn't do enough for us. Plain but comfortable room, clean, comfortable and warm. Dinner was very nice, lovely and hot, service was excellent. Breakfast was excellent. Great staff. Would definitely recommend.

We had a really enjoyable breakfast and the staff were friendly. The beans were lush and the eggs a golden yellow. Hope to visit again soon.

Coffee and cinnamon swirl very nice. BUT…gents toilets out of order, so used handicap toilet where the hand dryer did not work. AND… re-training definitely needed on hygiene behind the counter. Realised after I got my coffee that both the young lady on the till and the middle aged male barista had both picked up my cup by the top by putting two fingers into the cup. Very poor! I bet they weren’t taught to do that by Starbucks.

A nice setting and the food was satisfactory although a little overpriced for the quality in comparison to similar venues. However, we were very disappointed with the level of service we received. Our first round of drinks orders was forgotten and we had to go up to the bar and order our own throughout the meal. When the meal arrived, it was incorrect, and the response we received was ‘well, this is what I was told’. Furthermore, we asked for additional cauliflower cheese for the vegetable roast, which didn’t come. When we asked for it we were informed that this had already sold out, despite it being taken in our order. As a result, we were informed that our food would be discounted, in which the bill was reduced from £96 to £94. This included a 12.5% service charge, which was still included in the price, despite the poor service we had received throughout. Overall, a disappointing experience.

What an absolute gem of a pub. Found it after being unable to eat at the hotel up the road. Food was excellent and portion sizes good. Service was impeccable. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.
