Managed to book a table for 3 of us plus a dog an hour before on a Sunday which we thought was very lucky but the experience showed why. Arrived and no one behind the bar to greet for a good few minutes. When someone did appear told us to go around and then back to the bar area for dog-friendly seating. To begin with, service was quick with the drinks order taken quickly (no drinks menu available and only Becks Blue as non alcoholic beer) and then food was ordered when drinks were delivered (this probably helped). Had 3 roasts. Average to small portions but very nice food, especially the yorkshires although only 2 out of 3 had gravy in them. Plates were cleared and offered dessert menus but these didn't appear until another member of staff came to offer again. Then a 20+ minute wait to order these as all staff disappeared and a 20+ minute wait to get the desserts. Got them at least an hour after we had finished the mains. Thought it may be down to a big table arriving as it was set but they didn't appear the whole time we were there. We then paid (went and paid at the till instead of waiting ages again) and then when halfway across the car park were chased by a member of staff who had not served us or taken payment accusing us of doing a runner! We had a receipt so could confirm this but he was not apologetic and ruined the whole experience overall.
Lovely, cosy, welcoming village pub in North Oxfordshire. We went for lunch on a weekday and although the pub was very quiet, we felt very cosy next to the roaring open fire and staff were very attentive. Everyone enjoyed the food very much, though we felt the portions of vegetable sides were maybe a little small. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely little pub with an open fire. The pie was delicious!
Absolutely top notch! Food was amazing and service was fantastic too. Had the set meal (2 courses for £16) and it was absolutely worth every bite. And it's dog friendly too. Well worth a visit if you're anywhere near Banbury.
We went in the first week with the new owners for a Sunday lunch. Lovely meal, great service, really friendly, the new owners came and had a chat. They were very helpful with my allergy of fresh fruit and gave me my desert with the chocolate they will be adding to the menu soon, rich and creamy, delicious. Prices were what you expect. It's much bigger inside than it looks outside, the only downside is the parking, a small car park.

We offer a comprehensive range of beers, ciders, spirits and wine. Good value for money and a great variety, which often changes.
