A group of 10 of us turned up unannounced last Sunday lunchtime looking for a quick bite to eat before going fishing.Staff were friendly, squeezed us in and they knocked up chicken nuggets and chips (which were very good) for the children and excellent gammon and chips for the adults.

Went here Sunday 13th April with all the family to celebrate my special birthday. My husband went down early in the morning and took balloons and banners and the staff very kindly decorated around our tables which was a surprise when we arrived. We all had the roasts and they did say there was chicken for the grandchildren which was lovely as when we booked they said there wasnât chicken on the menu.. we asked for extra vegetables when we booked and they done a very good selection of lovely fresh vegetables which we all enjoyed. They made us feel very welcome and looked after us all very well nothing was too much trouble and it made my day very special. Thanks very much we will be back soon. The young girls that served us were lovely and friendly. The lunch is very reasonably priced

Went for dinner last Saturday and then again for Sunday lunch the day after. Both very good with sensibly priced food and drink (very nice Californian red for £21!). Duck really tasty Friday as were fish and chips. Sunday chicken supreme a good choice . Garden looked very pretty and utterly stunning, recently restored 12th century church of St. John the Baptist worth a visit nearby. Staff very attentive and owner highly visible which is always a good sign.I live locally so it is great to have a decent pub nearby !

We held a wedding supper in the Inn for 24 people. It was a pleasure to deal with Matt and Emma and all the staff. The food was delicious, the presentation great and Matt was very creative with the men and accommodating with our wishes. The dinner was held in the private room at the back and as the weather was so fantastic we were able to have drinks reception in the garden.A fantastic evening and highly recommended. Thank you again to everyone who made it possible.

Standard food (although the fish did taste and look like it came frozen from the local supermarket) but highly priced. For what looks like a high class place the food was disappointing and the service wasn't much better (including the waiter laughing when we were actually complaining about the food). It will definitely not be somewhere we visit when we are in the area next. You can get much better food elsewhere for less. Very disappointing experience.Thankyou for your review.. i would like to take this opportunity to apologise that we fell short of your expectations on this occasion.it is only with feedback, good or bad, that we can improve and increase our offering to our valued guests.I would like to gain some more information on your experience here at The Oxen Bar & Grill, as it leaves me with some questions - please email me directly on [email protected], so we can discuss further.Kindest regards and looking forward to hearing from you.Thomas KentFood & Beverage Manager
