The best restaurants serving British food in Faringdon and The Coxwells Vale of White Horse South East

Receptionist on the phone is not very nice at all, sort it out. I don't appreciate being hung up on when I'm in the middle of talking, disgusting.

I visited here based on the rave reviews, I was quite excited as I love a quaint tea room. The lady serving but very friendly so no issue there, the issue was the prices. The espresso was around £2.50 ish, but the Americano was “£5”?? So that’s another £2.50 for hot water, the latte was over £5 and even the tea was £5. For that price I would expect to be in a 5 star hotel with armchairs and a glorious open fire, they don’t even have a toilet, there is a dirty public toilet outside. I really don’t like giving bad reviews but I was totally dumbfounded by the prices and that people seem to be paying it.

Looking for a drink and a bite to eat on a day out, popped into Sadlers but found they'd just closed, Staff apologised but asked what we were after as they still had some pasties for take away, this suited us fine. Food was packed and labelled as different flavours and drinks from the fridge. We paid and left to eat said pasties and commented how helpful and pleasant the girls had been. Very helpful and pleasant customer experience, thank you.

We booked a special birthday lunch here, having seen some good reviews. We were shown to the ballroom, where the flowers on the table were dead!! We were then given a bar menu of small plates. When we asked for the lunch menu, we were told that they were not running lunch today, as they had a large booking in the evening. We booked in advance and the day before, we had an email asking us to reconfirm our booking, which we did. The restaurant didn’t bother to warn us in advance despite having told them it was a special birthday lunch. Appalling service, so we left and ate elsewhere, at the White Hart in Fyfield, where we had a wonderful meal

Lovely hotel, easy parking, great location. We had our dog and had an ideal room for this. We didn't use the restaurant but have heard highly of it. Unfortunately there was no hot water during our stay, out of their control obviously, as soon as the manager was on site they were apologetic and dealt with our concerns very well. We will definitely return.

We had the function room for a group of 38 last night for Christmas dinner. The room is spacious and beautifully decorated. The food and service were outstanding, and the landlord even provided free transport as we were a large group. From the first point of contact the landlady handled all the arrangements efficiently and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

Been here many times - great staff and food very good - gets very busy so best to book if you want a specific table - some of the lighter bites excellent at lunchtime- good wine selection
