Best British Restaurants in Shipston-On-Stour

Very busy indeed on the Sunday before Xmas. Loads of helpful staff and table for 2 ready and waiting. Service was efficient and cheerful. We had a query with the Sole which was dealt with immediately by the manager who was brilliant. He unhesitatingly reordered a new sole and replaced both my wife’s and my meal to ensure we synchronised our meal. New sole was perfect and my fillet steaks excellent. The manager had deleted our Prosecco starter drinks and gratuity when the bill arrived. I cannot praise them enough for food and customer service. A delightful lunchtime experience.

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.

What a very pleasant restaurant with friendly staff and fantastic food.. Definitely will go again as the atmosphere was very warming.

Spent two nights at Feldon Valley and ate at the kitchen both nights, the food was really tasty and the staff were lovely. Highly recommend to anyone who stays or is looking for somewhere in the area. Didn’t catch the name of the waiter who served us both nights but he made us feel so welcome & made an effort to chat to us. He was a credit to ‘The Kitchen’ … 5* 😌
