The best restaurants serving British food in Woodstock and Bladon West Oxfordshire South East

The roast was distinctly average.. on the beef roast the beef slices were very thin and were overcooked. the gravy was very thin and the celeriac mash disappeared in the gravy it was all under seasoned. However the veg was cooked well and the Yorkshire was good but overall very disappointing for all in our party which was for a birthday treat. Also, the staff were very inattentive I had to call them over to take our dessert order after quite a while. They really need to work on their front of house duties as well, there was literally no interaction with us at all and it felt like they didn’t have any time for us but were happy to stand in a group and chat at the bar !!! We will return to the Pub again but not for Sunday lunch

Very nice indeed hood well cooked and tasty honest grub, just what you need on a cold night

We were lucky enough to get the last table for Sunday lunch today, the pub was super busy but the food and the service were still first class. Punchbowl Woodstock, you never disappoint!

Unwelcoming from the staff. Afternoon tea was limited to one very small pot of tea person with only 4 choices of tea. Egg mayo and salmon in tiny rolls and pureed! One delicious coronation chicken finger sandwich but then an unappetising cucumber and mint one. The rolls were tiny. Scones were nice. Cakes also tiny. People who wanted to take cakes home were provided with boxes meant for wraps. Not value for money and not the pleasant experience we had two years ago.

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 new menu and some new staff have not improved this cafe, but made it worse. The staff were not very friendly, the tea was weak and the cooked breakfast was stone cold. Quite expensive for a poor offering.

Great food in lovely surroundings. Would recommend.

We had intended going here for a meal during our stay, but after visiting for drink decided it wasn’t a good choice. The menu was extremely limited as they were running down stock as they were shortly closing down as the property had been sold. The property was tired and mismatched and seemed to be frequented by local drinkers. The location near the river could have been a great place and hopefully the new owners have capitalized on this. We would certainly look in again if we were visiting the area just to see how it had changed. There is stiff competition in the area with other fine eateries and pubs

Very poor, fish uncooked table staff not interested chips like yesterdays warmed up can how earth can anyone mess up fish n chips

We stayed here for lunch an overnight stay and breakfast. Lunch was lovely, tasty and hit . The room we stayed in was the suite. A little rough with marked walls and a broken toilet which we mentioned when we arrived but was not fixed. There was a nice large comfortable bed. It would be good if the TV was on a wall bracket so it could be watched from the bed. Breakfast was a little disappointing. I don’t think the early morning suited our server. We asked her if there was any brown sauce, she said she would check but no update until I asked her again and the answer was no … forgetful? Toast was also forgotten about.
