Best British Restaurants in Fairford

Great food and lovely atmosphere, plenty of space! Open fires a real treat.

The restaurant was busy on Saturday night in the lead-up to Christmas, but it was easy to find. A little noisy, which was fully expected. Despite her hectic schedule, our restaurant attendant Anastasia was attentive and considerate of my dairy intolerance. The starters and main courses were delicious; however, I thought the dessert selection was limited for those who avoid dairy. We would be happy to return, as we had a wonderful experience.

Lovely pre-Christmas meal in central Oxford. We booked early after spending the day shopping and felt welcome and unhurried, although I’m sure they had a busy service. I also liked the layout - tables weren’t cramped together despite it being a compact venue. My oysters were spectacularly good, and my black bream main was cooked perfectly. My party also ate kidneys, rabbits and steak and had desserts. My chocolate dessert was a little one-dimensional, and the bread and sides were quite ambitiously priced for the quantity provided. However, overall, we thought this was a very enjoyable meal cooked and presented with evident skill and care.

Would be great to have more vegetarian options based on cooked vegetables. Overall it was faultless

Great evening with our friends for dinner. This is the 3rd time we’ve eaten here with these particular friends and we’ve been unable to fault anything. The pub is immaculate, the food was fantastic as always and the staff very friendly. It was quite loud on this particular evening as there was a large group of men on a Christmas party, we didn’t mind this at all and the staff must have thought ahead and seated us in one of the little snug areas.
