Horse And Groom - Cherwell

Myself and my Elderly Father stayed here for one night on our way across country, well what a lovely find, in the heart of beautiful Oxfordshire countryside, when we arrived we were greeted by the Duty Manager sorry cannot remember her name she showed us to our room which was up some steep narrow stairs, when we opened the door we were pleasantly surprised on how nice the room was, lovely and clean, spacious and a great ensuite bathroom although small had a nice hot shower .The room had all the mod cons, small tv, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities and bottles of fresh water. The bar area was warm and cozy and had a lovely atmosphere, we eat dinner in the bar which was excellent especially the Curry, delicious , the pub also had a restaurant to the rear which was lovely, we eat breakfast in there the following morning and the breakfast was excellent, must also add the duty Manageress was lovely lady, very chatty and very friendly, made you feel very welcome, all in all a lovely stay and would highly recommend this place for food and accommodation, I will definitely stay here again if in the area !!

A really pleasant experience at the pub. The room was spacious and wonderfully equipped. Nothing over the top. It and the village were cute and really relaxing. The breakfast was large and very filling, although I thought the dinner was overpriced. £12 for a small burger and about 6 chips. Staff were a little stressed and slightly robotic but other than that, the service was wonderful

Stayed here 2 nights as working locally . Had been staying else where but i wish we had found this place earlier. Room was clean well appointed, decent shower and very clean again. Room was cleaned up between nights which I didn't expect. Food is exceptional here from the evening meals to breakfast. Would recommend for accommodation and or food without hesitation.

We went here based on some reviews and that is was fairly local to where we have just moved to and on the whole we had a very decent meal, just spoilt by a very yappy jack russel in the bar area. I totally get that the owner was probably a local and goes in several times a week and spends a lot of money..but that ain't our fault and it did spoil an enjoyable evening. Hand cut chips were awesome, the kids loved the burger and the steak was lovely according to our daughter..I had the veggie penang curry and this was a bit disappoining..smallish portions and not very hot at all...shame as the thought was there. puddings were awesome though, we each had a different one and they all went down a storm.. good choice for vegetarians which was great...perhaps too much choice if i am being picky but lovely service.,..just shame about the dog and by the way we have 3 dogs ourselves so we aint anti dog!

I have been here a few times But have never had a Sunday lunch Good menu with 3 choices of meat Had roast beef could not have been better. Great veg and all the trimmings. it is lovely when you walk in and coffee already being sorted Friendly pub Great Staff 10/10
