The best restaurants serving British food in Forest Hill and Holton South Oxfordshire South East

My friend and I went for afternoon tea for her birthday as we live relatively local but not been there before. It was so delightful and everything was delicious. Lovely sandwiches, quiche, sausage rolls, cakes and fabulous scones. There was so much choice and a lot to get through and needless to say we were beaten. We were offered little boxes to take the uneaten goodies home. The table was laid beautifully and everything was perfect and made us feel special. My only advice is to pre-book as there are only 3 tables inside plus it will give the proprietor a chance to prepare for you.

Precioso restaurante. Buen ambiente, personal servicial, cortés y excelente comida. Habría comido cualquier cosa del menú. El cerdo del vientre estaba delicioso, complementado con camotes, puré de col roja (inusual pero perfecto con el cerdo) y una deliciosa ensalada de col, perfectamente equilibrada. Los postres también fueron excelentes, gracias que volveremos a probar el almuerzo del domingo

I’ve always had high expectations for the lamb it’s been a lovey place to dine in the past. Unfortunately it was below par on this occasion. Was out for dinner with my partner, the menu its self was quite seasonal and a choice for everyone. The ambience was a little different than usual times. The starters were Devine, the French onion soup and the chicken wings was really tasty. I had the venison which was spot on. My partner had the duck, as a fine dinning restaurant you would expect the duck to be pink, or be well rested I would say it was more blue to rare. I found it to be undercooked it was all most inedible, chewy and cold. You could hear a pin drop I didn’t really want to complain but for the price you expect a faultless plate, I asked the manager he shut me down said they cook there duck to medium rare? I was completely embarrassed and just felt uncomfortable and just wanted to leave. In all fairness we did get £2.80 discount and some soft drinks on the house. Overall a underwhelming experience for a 2 rosette establishment.

Smashing country pub. Fitted out to a high standard, roaring fire, lovely food options nicely cooked, great range of interesting beers, friendly staff and comfy seating. The fact that there are blankets over the backs of the chairs tells you a lot about how this independent pub wants you to come in, relax and enjoy the place.
