Phoebe Bedford Love love love this place ! Food was delicious, good vegan and vegetarian option and staff were helpful when it came to allergies / dietary restrictions. The portions were generous and it wasn’t super expensive. Had a nice cosy vibe. The chickpea and spinach curry and the chai tea were my favourites. Thanks for a lovely meal !

Megan Arrived in Oxford late after travelling from down south - best wrap we’ve had. We had Halloumi wrap and a chicken wrap. Staff really friendly and attentive with how they prepared the wraps.

Ben Solomon We had a fantastic valentines evening at The Manor in Garsington and the steak was outstanding. Cooked perfectly to order, beautifully seasoned, and incredibly tender – easily one of the best we’ve had, The atmosphere was relaxed yet refined, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. A great and enjoyable dining experience we’ll definitely be returning.

Jamie Today we went to M&S for a few supplies before christmas. We were astounded by the overwhelming customer support by staff member Pete, who after seeing we were looking for a trifle with a longer used by date, went out of his way and came across moments later to find us after we had left the aisle with the trifles in. He greeted us with a lovely new trifle with a longer used by date which he had just unveiled from its sparky new packaging. Pete really went above and beyond and we will be frequenting M&S again soon and cant wait!
