Great festival!

Great pub, friendly staff but shocking food - we had a chicken burger and beef burger and both were overdone and not enjoyable. We were told that they were in between chefs. Would not recommend until a new chef is found.

Found this place after a short drive from our holiday cottage and so glad we did ! It was lunchtime and very busy but we found a table and ordered the pie of the day which we had to wait an hour for but it was well worth the wait it was steak and ale and was all steakand you knew that by waiting so long it was freshly cooked and the staff were great as well unfortunately we live in Southampton so it would not be my regular but it would be well worth the 2 hour drive to taste that pie again. Went back for a second time and it was as good as the first ? same food and same great service

Came here for the Brasenose Fringe folk festival today and in the beautiful village of Cropredy and not long walk from the canal the festival bar was brilliant all staff and volunteers were friendly and service was quick the live music here was amazing and best part was seeing the Lost Notes band and they had a roast dinner van and I had roast beef in a Yorkshire pudding it was tasty and hope to come back next year for the festival.

Went here with friends and had a meal
The burgers were very nice but my fish was not upto standard very dry and not fresh

This is the second time I have had a sub standard meal served . All three meals were returned. So many things were unacceptable - food not hot - overcooked and what appeared to be re heated food- Luke warm and chewy chips . Squid was so hard it couldn?t be chewed.
Something serious has happened at this venue over the last 6 months - considering the Pricing one would expect top class food - even the burger bun seemed like a cheap budget supermarket one . The starter of chicken wings offered just 2 overcooked wings on some very sad looking salad - disgraceful for the price .
The venue was not busy when we arrived so it couldn?t be that the kitchen was under pressure at all . I would suggest that for regular repeat business the management needs to change quickly - raise their game - smarten the staff up and get a grip on quality .
A disastrous evening for me and 2 guests.
I must add thanks to one of the waiters that handled our complaints admirably - refunded our party and apologised for the quality of the good.
Considering this is now predominantly a food venue I am amazed they still in business .

Lovely pub with Timothy Taylor beers and excellent food

The food is too pricey for the quality of food that's sent out. 2 meals set back, fish batter was doughy, Thai curry was bland and 3 little poppadoms out of a packet on the side of the plate. Overall without going too much on a rant, its a good pub for a drink but dont eat there!

Great gastro pub in a lovely village location. Very friendly staff and lots of Timothy Taylor beers. The food was very tasty and well presented. Decor was traditional modern so very comfortable and inviting spaces to dine. Outdoor space too with dining pods and tables catching the late afternoon sun. Highly recommend for a visit.

Took my mother for her birthday lunch and had a marvellous time. The Sunday roasts were delicious, the desserts superb and the staff all lovely.

Great food and service. All the staff, most of whom were quite young, were very polite and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Well worth a visit.

Shockingly slow service , I ordered a drink - it never came , I had to go to the bar to ask again , it wasn?t busy but it took an hour to get our food , the food was ok but could have been warmer , we were given the sweet menu , but no one came back to see if we wanted any thing so we didn?t bother , I had to go to the bar to order a coffee - very disappointing
